Marilyn by Lush

I recently tried Lush's Marilyn hair treatment.  I have never tried a lush hair product before and I decided to go with this one since I have blonde hair.

It took almost 2 weeks to arrive which is ok. Living on an island in eastern Canada  it can take a while for things to come in the mail. Especially if we have weather and the ferries that bring the ground transportation are not running. 

The first think I did was smell it. Lol I have a crazy habit of smelling all my beauty products. And it smells like tea. The main ingredient is chamomile which has brightening properties. My hair is naturally dark blonde with red undertones and I need to be careful what goes on my natural hair or it can turn reddish. So I just applied this to my my hair avoiding the roots.

It is very runny which was my only complaint about this product. The instructions said to cover in a thick coating which was difficult with it not building up and most of it falling in the sink.

I left it on for 20 minutes then washed and conditioned by hair as normal. The result was that my hair was brighter. I took some of the mousyness away from my hair and left it softer and more manageable without weighing it down.

Im not sure how often to use this product but I think I will keep using it once a month until summer. Then I may increase to 2x month. I still need to use a conditioning mask to replish my hair from all the heat styling and harsh winter weather.
If you have blonde hair I suggest trying it. Lush please make this product thicker and easier to apply-B

Concealer Conversation

Concealer is something that I use everyday. Even if I dont wear any other makeup I will apply some concealer to cover up redness around my nose or dark under eye circles. Currently in my rotation I am using: lancome effacernes waterproof long lasting undereye concealer in porcelaine 1. I just started using this last month and Im so glad that I discovered it. It lasts all day!!! And they have tones of shades so you can mix and match for your skin tone. I went a few shades lighter to counteract my dark undereye circles.  Before I was using glo.minerals oil free concealer in natural. I got this 2 years ago at my dermatologist office. I used it until it was empty and I would have repurchased it but they are no longer carrying the line. It was the first concealer that I used in years that didnt cause me breakouts but it was not long lasting even with powder ontop to set. I needed to apply 3x a day which is annoying. No that I have discovered how amazing lancome concealer is I think im going to stay with it ( I do want to try that cle du peu sometime even if its crazy expensive. Its a small price to pay for something that is important and you use everyday). Last night I purchased lancomes maquicomplet concealer in camee. So far I am really liking it.  No skim reaction and it lasted all night. 
Mac prep + prime highlighter in light boost. I use this for contouring and inner corners of my eyes. Its ok. I think I need a tutorial at the mac counter to discover its true potentail. Giorgio armani master corrector in 2 is what I have been using in the summer for undereye concealer. Its too dark for the winter and im not loving the formula. I dont think I will be re purchasing this product. Another item that i use in the darkest part of my undereye area is benefits eyebright pencil. I would rather it be an easier formula to apply. The pencil is tough on that delicate area. Im on the hunt for something similar. Lastly is nars larger than life long wear eyeliner in rue Bonaparte.  I know its an eyeliner but it technically a concealer for your waterline. I prefer a nude pencil to white. Its less harsh.

Holy meteorites

Gurelain meteorites- I have see  them in magazines,  on pinterest,  youtube tutorials and instagram so I decided to try them. Probably the nicest packaging I have ever seen for a makeup product and it smells delicious.  I have been using my armani powder brush and I its not picking up the pigment very well and I think im going to have to invest in a better brush for application.  I have discovered that there is a brush specifically designed for the meteorites.  Do any of you use this product? What do you use to apply? Sometimes the key in applying is what tool you use. I have armani silk foundation and I hated it. Found it went on streaky, was dry and caked. But I was using a foundation brush. When I tried it this past weekend with my beauty blender my whole perspective changed. Now its the best I have ever used!! Going to start recommending it to my friends :) I do get a healthy glow with the meteorites and I will continue to keep it in my daily routine.
