Last night my husband and I went out for dinner (no way was I cooking after this week) and over to the mall. We of course stopped by Lush. I think my husband is becoming more obsessed over the products than I am. I picked up some of their Valentine's day products and he got a new shampoo bar (Ultra Shine, I think) and some type of deodorant bar (something that I don't think I will try) and then I stopped in Sephora because they are next door. I needed nothing but retail therapy is good for soul.<br /><br />Check out what I found.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1DueYNvXAUtMhvhE_ZGw5tu57G9YUOSlDPPAuYR26VwoZjcgW6RRQHA_3GKLYdlV6a1GwHZySzJBqalJzwMqcwu5svTx8LAGwwA1gz_kPGyxpHaTlszPr5aUPw-dpm99gO1tSI6yFOjg/s1600-h/P255605_hero.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1DueYNvXAUtMhvhE_ZGw5tu57G9YUOSlDPPAuYR26VwoZjcgW6RRQHA_3GKLYdlV6a1GwHZySzJBqalJzwMqcwu5svTx8LAGwwA1gz_kPGyxpHaTlszPr5aUPw-dpm99gO1tSI6yFOjg/s320/P255605_hero.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434883778791303650" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">image from www.sephora.com </span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">It comes with<br /></span><h2 style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size:100%;">- 0.4 oz Hoola<br />- 0.45 oz High Beam<br />- 0.08 oz Gilded<br />- 0.19 oz BADgal Brown </span></h2><br /><br /></div></div>4 full size items and a cute makeup bag for $35.00<br />I had been eying the Hoola bronzer, but my Nars luguna is working just fine so I never really jumped into buying this.<br /><br />The Hoola is $28.00 alone so for 7 more dollars I got three other full size products!<br /><br />I have yet to try these items out.
