My January Carmine box arrived today. My favourite part is the eldora lashes, apparently they are handmade and I can't wait to try them. There's also an eyeko fat eye stick in Satin Taupe (familiar name, no?) Looks like a hybrid between Clinique chubbysticks and NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencils. I'll see how I get on with this, as I wasn't keen on their fat lip balms but love their nail polishes... I generally find eyeko hit and miss.
Anyway, this got me thinking about how many samples and bits and pieces I have that need using up (the guilt!) so I thought I'd do a little post about my bodycare/shower/bath stuff. Like lots of people, I get smellies for Christmas. I got two lots of Lush stuff this time including a bubble bar - a product I'd never tried before and really liked, massage bar (with glitter, not quite sure how to use it), Snow Fairy shower gel (also with glitter), some bath bombs and a soap. So I had a little online Lush binge because the presents made me realise how much I like baths. Word of advice though, don't have a bath too hot or you'll have heart palpitations and feel sick (or is that just me?) I also got Retread conditioner which I'd heard good things about but I didn't realise it had Sodium Laureth Sulphate in it, a detergent which fades hair fast :( (so we'll see how that goes), 4 Skullduggerys (reduced Day of the Dead/Halloween bathbombs which smell like lime... nom nom, used one so far, loved it) a Sunnyside bubblebar (gold glittery, looks amazing!) and some other reduced Christmas bits.
