Lush Buttercup

This is actually my first Lush product that I have used and I love it so far! Lush Buttercup is gift set that comes with a sample size of the Honey I Washed the Kids Soap and a full size Butterball Bath Bomb. I won this gift set from MakeupThatSmiles in her 1000 subscribers on YouTube giveaway. Thank you so much Katy!!!! Go check out her channel! She also has a blog. Click here to check it out.

This is what the outside packaging looks like. It is so adorable! It's very petite and sweet!

I was so excited to finally be able to open the box! So what are the products included in this gift set?
Honey I Washed the Kids Soap: one of our best-selling soaps because it’s simply irresistible. People who fully intended to walk past a LUSH shop find themselves unable to resist its sweet caramel fragrance. You’ll inhale, drool, pick up a big chunk and immediately want to wash yourself all over with it. It’s so gentle, buttery and scrumptious you’ll have a hard time keeping it to yourself. The honey water and aloe are so softening and moisturizing, you can use our toffee-scented sensation on the whole family.
It smells very sweet and lathers pretty well. I love the scent! The soap gives you a very squeaky clean feeling so I do recommend using a lotion afterwards if you want to have a very moisturized feel. Unfortunately it did not last that long...:( It came as a small hexagonal piece. But I plan on getting more someday!

Butterball Bath Bomb: Our vanilla-scented Bath Bomb is anything but boring when you lay back into a cozy white blanket of creamy buttery froth. This little fizzer is the ultimate in comfort with chunks of creamy cocoa butter; it’s fantastic for rehydrating dry skin. Baths can dry your skin if they’re too hot, so if you’re in need of a long, lingering bath pop one of these gorgeous beauties into the tub for a vanilla custard soak to lull you into a deep relaxed state – and leave with sweeter, softer skin.
I have not tried this yet. I am saving it for special day! :D

DIY Marble Nails!

Here's a fun and unique look for your nails! Marble nails come out differently every time and are very eye-catching. I have gotten lots of compliments on these nails!

You will need:

• Assorted Nail Polishes of Different Colors
• A Plastic Cup/Bowl (that you won't mind getting nail polish on) filled with water
• Toothpick (Can substitute with bobby pin)
• Tape

Steps:

• Apply a base coat on your nails (this step can be optional, but it's recommended)
• Paint a light colored nail polish on your nails (white, light pink, etc.) 

• Tape your fingers on the bottom and two sides. This will help prevent nail polish from getting all over your fingers.

• Take one nail polish brush and put it over the water and let one drop fall into the bowl. 

• Once it hits the water it should 'burst' and expand in the water. If it falls to the bottom and gets stuck you should try again.

• Repeat step four with different color(s) and drop the nail polish in the middle of the pool of polish. You can use as many colors as you like.

• Alternate dropping the colors a few times.
• Swirl the polish with the tooth pick in a fun design.
• Dip your finger in polish in the water. Wait for about a minute.

• *When taking out your finger make sure the excess nail polish does not stick on. Otherwise it will ruin the design! If it seems like it's going to then separate the excess with a toothpick. 

• Remove any excess nail polish from the bowl and any tape or nail polish on your finger.

You're done! I hope you've enjoyed this post! Tomorrow's Mother's Day. Tell her you appreciate her!!!
