This was the first time I ever heard of Shower Bombs. But being an avid fan of bath bombs, I figured I would give this a try. The gluten free shower bombs were easy to use. Just drop them near direct water away from the drain. Each bomb was packed with organic menthol, eucalyptus and tea tree essential oil to relax and clear away stress. I love the bombs, they felt like being at a spa but private in home experience. I wouldn’t recommend using these as bath bombs as the mint might causes some unwanted tingling sensations. The minty scent was not super strong and I love how relax I felt. I used these when I was feeling a bit under the weather and I usually perk up right afterwards. Even though each shower bomb is individually wrapped, I recommend using them as soon as possible because the first two I used right away within 2 weeks apart and I forgot about them until 2 months later and they didn’t smell as strong as before. One of the shower bombs was so weak, I didn’t even realize it was in the shower with me until I accidentally stepped on it.

Mally Beauty Evercolor Starlight Waterproof Eye Liner - Sailor
I have been a long time fan of Mally Beauty's eye liner. They are creamy smooth and once they go on, they stay on! If you want to smudge the eyeliner you have a quick 30 seconds after application otherwise the product stays put. I do like even though it doesn't run, crease, smudge or budge -- it is still easy to remove with makeup remover. The navy blue eyeliner had a bit of gray glitter which works both for the daytime and a smokey look for the nighttime.

The Body Shop Chocomania Sugar Body Scrub
What better way to celebrate the holidays than with chocolate. This deliciously chocolate scented sugar body scrub is packed with cocoa butter and organic cane sugar. The sugar scrub removes dead skin cells, stimulates circulation, and leaves skin feeling softer and smoother. I love how soft my skin felt and the sweet chocolate scent on my skin. If you love chocolate and body scrubs, you should definitely give this a try.

Bliss Lemon & Sage Soapy Suds Body Wash + Bubbling Bath
I bought this travel size version for one my weekend trips and was so glad I did. The scent was very lemony but it was quite sophisticated and didn’t smell like floor cleaner. I am guessing that because of hints of sage blended in. I also like how you can use it as a body wash or as a bubble bath. I have only used it as a body wash and I absolutely in love with it. The body wash gives a generous lather and leaves my skin feeling super soft and smooth while leaving my skin delicately scented. My only qualm is the bottle was a bit hard and when I used both hands, nothing was coming out but when I used one hand the product came out more freely. I am hoping they did that intentionally so you don’t squeeze out too much product at once. I do have a really bad habit of using a lot of product for everything. When they say use a dime size, I use a quarter size.

Urban Decay Ammo Palette
I had bought this palette almost two years ago but forgot to post the photos. As you can tell I am really on top of things! :)
Here is the description from UD -
Smog (deep coppery bronze shimmer)
Smog (deep coppery bronze shimmer)
Mildew (mossy green shimmer
w/gold shift)
Oil Slick (black matte w/silver micro-glitter)
Last Call
(metallic plum)
Chopper (copper shimmer w/silver micro-glitter)
Maui
Wowie (metallic golden beige w/silver glitter)
Shattered (turquoise
shimmer w/gold shift)
Polyester Bride (white snow shimmer w/silver
micro-glitter)
Grifter (sheer lavender shimmer w/silver micro-glitter)
Sin (champagne shimmer)
Most of the colors had a good color payout and lasted a couple of hours with a primer. Although, my eyes did crease but very rarely my eyeshadow don't crease no matter what primer or eyeshadow I use. Some of the eyeshadows with the micro glitter was a bit coarse and hard to blend [I am looking at you Oil Slick] or a smudging nightmare [it went everywhere..] Overall, the palette is definitely worth the $16 as that cost less than a single full size UD eyeshadow.

Kiss Me Organics: Culinary Grade Organic Matcha - Green Tea Powder
Matcha is just about everywhere. The antioxidant is green tea powder that promises to provide all day energy, metabolism energy, increase focus, improve skin health and has almost 137x antioxidants of brewed green tea. I bought these for my friend and he loved using it in smoothies or coating popcorn with it. I am still trying to get him to use some matcha as a facial mask as I heard it leaves your skin glowing and smooth. It gives a nice healthy boost to food but it is a bit pricey but a little does go a long way.
