I want a pet veez. This is all.

I do notice the irony of this being the ninth book on my currently reading list!

edit
After reading just the intro and first chapter, you have no idea how many times I’ve found myself nodding excitedly going, “That is SO me!”. Stopping myself from racing through is tough – could this explain… well, half my life?!

A nice gentle-effect face mask, somewhat like the Oatifix in texture. However, you HAVE to get this for the scent: marzipan and brandy and oh my try not to eat it!!!

Could sniff this tub for aaaaages, n’mind having it on my face! :)

Disappointingly not as cinnamony as last year’s lovely Christmas Kisses, but it is still mildly spicy and warming.

I’m not usually a huge strawberry-scent fan, but this was lovely! Not too sweet, but just sweet enough :) And a nice scrub, too.

Dilemma: I love Dan Simmons, but I hated Charles Dickens. Meh.

Actually, the book turned out to be good – not great, as it’s just way too long imo. The Dickens-esque style is maintained perfectly, and the spooky story really did leave me wondering what would happen next. And while yes, all the background and diversions were perfectly fitting with both the tale and style, I did sometimes wonder how exactly I wasn’t bored yet with this 750+ page epic!

So, interesting, glad I’ve read it, but not as gripping as Simmons’ other books. Tons better than anything I read in school of Dickens’ work, though! ;)

Freebie with my forum order, and I’m VERY glad I didn’t pay for this! It smells waaaaay too strong for me, and made me want to sneeze. The vanilla-plus scent isn’t unpleasant at all, but I can’t imagine wanting to leave the house smelling so strongly of a Lush shop.

Ooh, a controversial one! Politics aside, this just has a weird smell – citronella and peppermint aren’t something I’d usually chose to smell of! However, I do HAVE to try everything Lush-ious (!) and I thought it might help unblock my sinuses a bit. Don’t think it did, really, but the smell wasn’t as overpowering as I feared – in fact, it was perfectable acceptable in the bath (as opposed the the dry bar reek!).

Still, not a fav.

I’m itching to cocktail this with a Jacko now, after a friend mentioned the apple of So White could’ve done with a hit of cinnamon!

It’s not a bad ballistic – the addition of the bubble bar ‘foam’ at least makes the water lovely and soft – but it wasn’t terribly impressive. The apple scent is rather synthetic, and just a bit meh. Not that I wouldn’t use one again if it fell into my lap, of course!
