Collective Haul

Just wanted to share some things I bought over the past few weeks :)

I like to drop by Lush when I can~ On my first trip I picked up Mask of Magniminty. I like the cooling effect this gives. It feels cooler than the fresh face masks that I pull out of my fridge. It can also double as an exfoliator. The smell is good too~ herbal+mint. This one expires in 5 months~

Second trip I picked up Big shampoo after I tried a sample of it. I like the scent and how soft it makes my hair feel (although it does get a bit tangly when I'm rinsing it out) I don't seem to get the shine it claims to give tho. 

Being the face mask freak that I am~I also picked up Cupcake fresh face mask :)

(Not like the Movies, Playa de Platinum, San Tan-tonio)

I picked up these 3 nail polishes from my favourite Beauty Discount Supply store in the city. $5 opi and $3.50 Essie? Gota love it. They seem to get new collections fairly quick too :)

i looooooooove this lip balm! I need to get more~

(carbon, sketch, scrumptious olive)

(cranberry, shale, all that glitters)

Has anyone picked up a few new things too? 

Anyone has any suggestions to which 2 mac shadows I should get to fill up my palette?

Art Lovin'-Yoshimoto Nara

I'm still in love Yoshimoto Nara's works~ 

I wish I could go to one of his shows in person :)

Tips-Reduce Red Stretch Marks

Ok...I'll admit it. 
I have those red stretch marks! I hate that very much about my body~
I hate it, cover it up and hope it will go away....
But I decided that this won't do! I have to get rid of it! 
It'll be part of my health routine :)


So this is what I have been using every night for the past 3 months-Lush's Therapy Bar and Bio Oil. I didn't see results right away, but it seriously has helped! I was staring in the mirror last night and saw a difference! the marks has really lighten up~

I use the back side of my therapy bar if your wondering why it looks new~ it's getting pretty thin now :)

Bio Oil: helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone.

Therapy Massage Bar: products containing cocoa butter and shea butter are known to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

exfoliating, moisturizing, and getting healthy~i think thats key :)

anyone has any other tips I can try?
