Tiny Lush Haul!

Hi everyone! Today I am just showing you just two products that I bought last week on Lush! Lush for me is heaven. You just go in and you smell the amazing products and also the people that work on Lush are so friendly!

 In lush I always repurchase products, that are on my daily use: my carbon exfoliator + a soap!

So this trip to Lush was one for my daily used products!

For the soap I wanted to try something new. I always pick up for soap the "Karma" soap. This soap is describe by lush as:

"Meditative patchouli soap for truly transcendent lather"

For more details abouthis soap click here.

This time I ak to the laady at lush that I wanteed to try a new scent and based of the ones I like she recommend me the "Sexy Peel" soap, so I choose it.


I always buy big chunks of soap, that's just me! This scent is describe as:

"Our delecatable lemon and lime marmelade soap with just a touch of sex appeal"

For more details on this soap click here.

The other thing I got was my carbon exfoliator! This is amazing it's really hard to find because is always out of stock, but I buy it. I have been using this for about 5 months and I just love it. It helps so much!



So hope you all enjoy this tiny haul and have a great day! Leave in the comments what are your fav things at Lush!

Beauty Haul

I have always been contemplating where the word "haul" comes from. So with the power of google I look what did the word means and this was what it came on the screen:

haul/hôl/

Verb:
(of a person) Pull or drag with effort or force.
Noun:
An amount of something gained or acquired.
Synonyms:
verb. drag - pull - draw - tug - tow - trail - lug - transport
noun. catch - haulage - tug - draught - pull


So clearly that didn't make any sense so that took me to the Urban Dictionary and this was what I get:


"Haul:
in short: a shopping spree

a vlog titled "Makeup Haul" or "(Store Name) Haul" is a video showing a shopping spree in that given area, showing products or clothing that will usually be featured in future How To, or tutorial videos
"Hey guys! I'm here with a back-to-school makeup haul! I should have a tutorial with these products up in a little bit"

"If you were wondering where I got these products, refer back to my Haul vlog."
Well that didn't took me to something I didn't know. But the point of this post is that I am doing a haul.
Last week I went to a beauty store and bought some products so I thought I should share!

I bought the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer. This was something that I had my eye on for a really long time! I didn't had a bronzer and I really wanted one without shimmer so this was THE ONE! Also a bonus point is that is made with real cocoa and it's smells amazing!


The next thing is the Too Faced Eye Love Palette. One of the things that I had in mind to buy was the Too Faced Shadow Insurance but I really dind't wanted to pay that money for a shadow primer. Also I was contemplating in getting  the Too Faced Naked Eye palette. The thing is that I found this palette and it has 2 eyeshadows from each palette and a bonus is that it came with a shadow insurance!




The next thing I got was this Maybelline Trio in Bronze Haze. It has such pretty colors!



I also got some nail polish! As you may know I am obsessed with nail polishes! So I got this set from the muppets collection. I love this collection, I already got the mini set of the collection also I got a similar set that had Divine Swine with Pepe's purple passion. This set came with "Rainbow Collection", that is a beautiful multicolor glitter with different sizes. It also came with "Excuse Moi" that I have already tried from the mini set!



So I also got a China Glaze nail polish in "Re- Fresh Mint". It is a beautiful minty color!



And for last one of the products that I have been looking for so long. It is from the Luxe effects collection called "Shine of Times", I just can't explin it, it is just so pretty! Soon I am doing a NOTD!


Leave in the comments below if you have tried one of the products!! So that was the haul!!! Hope you all enjoy!!

With Love

-Kari

NOTD: Swiming in some Mermaid Tears!

Hi guys, today I have just a short NOTD. At first I wasn't doing this NOTD but I have got so many comments and positive feedback when I am wearing this nail polish (also one of my fav nail polishes on my collection) and it is OPI Mermaid Tears, from the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection! I got this nail polish for my birthday, that was last september. Before my birthday I saw a picture of the collection and I fell in love with it (but  I just got 1 nail polish from the collection).

DISCLAIMER: My NOTD aren't all the nail polishes that I use, I just post NOTD that have been commented!

From Left to Right:
- Silver Shatter: A pretty silver color with a shatter texture.
-  Skull & Glossbones: an amazing light grey.
- Steady as she rose: A baby pink color. 
- Sparrow me the drama: A gorgeous barbie pink.
- Planks a lot: A pretty lavander color.
- Stranger tides: a murky sage light green.
- Mermaid tears:





This is a picture that I took when I was wearing this polish. I describe this color as a tiffany blue color mixed with a little bit of green!


I also pin this to pinterest so if you want to repin it, here's the link: http://pinterest.com/pin/252553491573392722/ (AT THE MOMENT IT HAS 13 REPINS)

Would you wear this color?

Hope you all enjoy this NOTD!

Lancome Courbe Virtuose Divine Lasting Curves Mascara Review

Hi sweeties. That's a big name. Today I am doing a review for my favorite mascara ever!! I really like this Lancome Courbe Virtuose mascara.


The retail price for this mascara is $25.00, it is in 2 colors brown and black. The brush of this mascara is amazing. The formula of this mascara is amazing I love it because it doesn't leave clumps, and is one of my must when looking for a mascara.



The formula of this mascara make it stays 12 hours. The brush provides an outstanding eyelash curler effect that I love. It doesn't smudge at all.  But the thing that I most admire about this mascara that it length your lashes a lot and also it makes them look natural.


Last, but not least, the smell. Most of mascaras for me they have a HORRIBLE smell. This mascara doesn't have neither good nor bad smell!

Overall I give it a 10 to this mascara, really. I would definitly buy it again!

Which mascara is your favorite?
