Bassnectar Concert

Hi Guys!
So on May 1st, I went to a Bassnectar concert at the Electric Factory in Philly. It was insane! Bassnectar is a Dubstep DJ for any of you who didn't know and it was basically a huge neon backlight rave! I went with one of my best friends Sam ( I got her the tickets for her birthday!). 
For concerts like this, you dress a little crazy and wear a little crazy make up so I decided to become a flower power child for it! Here are some pictures :)
 LIGHTS!! 

Flower Power ( I'm corny I know)


  Sam and Myself
After the concert, my ears were bleeding just kidding not really but it did take sometime before I can hear normal again. We were starving afterwards and decided to get some IHOP! I went with the red velvet pancakes and let me tell you they did not disappoint. They were delicious. 
Have you been to any concerts lately? If so, which ones?! 
lots of love,

April Favorites

Hi Guys!
Here are my favorite products from this month! I tried to limit myself to only a few things or else this would be an extremely long post! These are my top seven products. Let me know if you have used any of them and what you think of them.


1. LUSH Lip Scrub in sweet lips
2. Sephora eyeshadow in Marie 14
3. Scottish Fine Soaps body butter
4. Maybelline Lip Whisper in 25 Lush for Blush
5. LUSH Toner Water in Eau Roma Water 
6. Victoria's Secret Dream Angels in Heavenly 
7. Sunglasses from Forever 21


Scottish Fine Soaps Body Butter:
I got this at TJ Maxx for $5.99. I've never used anything Scottish Fine Soaps before but that's why I love TJ Maxx; you can always new brand and products there. The body butter has a very clean light smell (if that makes any sense).  It's a little bit like vanilla and honey. Also it is not overwhemlingly thick or creamy. I hate when body butters leave you feeling dirty and heavy. It's a very nice formula and super moisturizing. I've also had it for about a whole month now and it goes a long way! You don't need too much of it to feel moisturized. I find it best right after the shower.

Sunglasses from Forever 21:
I got these babies because I lost or broke all mine from last year. They are such a cute little pattern and protect me from the sun pretty well. Also they were only 5 dollars! I hate spending a lot of money on sunglasses because I always lose them so when i saw them for 5 dollars I couldn't say no! Only anything thing is that they get stuck in my hair but let's be real... every pair of sunglasses get stuck is my curly knots.



LUSH Toner Water in Eau Roma Water: 
Absolutely love love love this toner water! I got it at the LUSH store for $9.95 I use it after i shower or after I wash my face but before I put my face lotion on. It is just calming and smoothing. Also it smells of jasmine and roses which is just such a pretty combination. I spray it on my pillows because jasmine and rose are both soothing and it helps me fall asleep. To be honest, I would use this is a room spray if I wasn't too afraid of wasting it!

Victoria's Secret Dream Angels in Heavenly: 
I got this is a gift for my birthday ( February 10th!) however, I didn't start using it until April because I thought it had too springy of a smell for the winter. It smells like roses and lavender. I like flower smelling things and like nature smelling things like honey over fruity, chocolaty and really sweet smelling things. This lasts me all day. I spray it in the morning all over and it makes me smell nice all day. 




 Maybelline Lip Whisper in 25 Lush for Blush: 
I have bought about four lip whispers this month. I love how moisturizing they are and how they last so long! I got this one at CVS for $7.49. I actually think they are cheaper at Walmart so I think I'm going to get my next ones from there. This is my favorite color out of all the ones I got it. It is that perfect everyday pinky but not too bright color. I love having it in my purse just in case I need a little color or even a little moisture throughout the day!

Sephora eyeshadow in Marie 14: 
If you have read any of my FOTD/ OOTD posts, you will notice I used this color in both of them. Marie 14 is a perfect base color. It is so easy to built off of it because basically all colors look amazing on it. Honestly it is even amazing alone! It is a coffee color but the coffee color after you added cream or milk. It has a nice shimmer to it and has such good pigment. I got this for $5 at Sephora along with two other ones on sale. So glad I grabbed it!

LUSH Lip Scrub in sweet lips: 
I did a whole review on it HERE. This is my absolute favorite product this month! It tastes amazing, it smells amazing, it makes my lips feel amazing. Overall the only word I have to describe it is... Amazing!! 

So what is your favorite products this month? Have you tried any of my favorites?! Let me know and I hope you have an amazing day! :) 
lots of love,

Lush Lip Scrub Review

Hi Guys!
I hope you all had a good monday! It was so rainy in Jersey; I wish I could've stayed in bed all day but good thing its sunny now! Today, I decided to review LUSH Lip Scrub in sweet lips. This lip scrub is actually taking over the blogging world and after trying it, I understand why! I have had it for about a week now and I could feel the different in my lips the first time I tried it. It comes in a cute little jar and retails for $9.95 at LUSH stores and on their website.


Texture
The base ingredient is sugar so it had a coarse grainy feel to it. I think thats what makes it work so well! The sugar just scrubs all of the dead skin off your lips.


Taste
I could eat the scrub out of the jar but I won't since that would just be a waste! I am a huge lover of mint chocolate chip ice cream. It is my absolute favorite and the lip scrub tastes exactly like it! After I apply it and rub it into my lips, I can't help and lick it off, it's just so good!


Usage:
 I put a little bit on my finger and then rubbing into my lips. I found it best to do it over a sink since  some of the sugar grains tend to fall but it's not a big deal. I use it at night before I got to bed and in the morning after I wash my face. I apply a lip balm or a lipstick after. I found that I like it better than lip balm underneath my lipsticks. It just makes my lips feel and look  smooth.


It honestly leaves my lips soft for hours and only takes about two seconds! I'm planning on trying the bubble gum one next :). I am hoping it lasts me a while since ten dollars in a bit much for a lip scrub; I've read people saying it has lasted them up to six months so I am hopeful! 



Thank you Jamie for making this for me :)
Have any of you tried?! If so, in what flavors and what did you think?
Lots of Love,
