LUSH Sweet Japanese Girl Cleanser for a Facial Treat

LUSH Sweet Japanese Girl Cleanser for a Facial Treat

LUSH Sweet Japanese Girl Cleanser ($10.25 for 1.2 oz.) is quite possibly my favorite LUSH product of all-time. It's a "facial massage and exfoliation bar." I don't really say it's a massage bar (though you could, since it's grooved), but I love it for how it hydrates skin with a buttery goodness...

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Harmony, Admire, & Devotion

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Harmony, Admire, & Devotion

Harmony is a rich royal purple shade with lots of shimmer and a lovely finish. You won't have trouble with brush strokes with this one; it applies better than the average Romantique color does. The shade itself is a great purple--there's no blue or pink cast to it; it's just purple.

Admire is...

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Awaken, Adore, & Cherish

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Awaken, Adore, & Cherish

Awaken is a deep metallic gray color; not a black-gray, but not a medium or light gray. I like that it casts darker depending on how the light hits it.

Adore is hard to say no to, because who can resist such a perfect jewel-toned teal? I also really loved how well this one applied: smoothly...

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Delight, Emotion, & Joy

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Delight, Emotion, & Joy

Delight is a deeper, burnished brown with a little bit of metallic copper in its undertones. I found this one applied better than the majority of the polishes--it felt thicker, but not too loose.

Emotion is a fun, girly pink. There's just no other way to describe it! It's very feminine and...

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Passion, Magical, Poetic

China Glaze Romantique Collection: Passion, Magical, Poetic

Passion is a antique gold, very lovely -- and as you can see in the swatch, very easy to over-apply because of the looseness of the polish formula. You really have to use thin coats and then do two or three for the perfect manicure.

Magical is a taupe-y brown shade. There's almost a little bit...
