New Beauty Loot Today!

So I went on a bit of a shopping trip today and picked up a few things that I was dying to get.

The first were EOS lip balms, I got the honeysuckle honeydew and the summer fruit flavors.  I've tried both and they are amazing!!  They are 100% natural and 95% organic.  Some of the ingredients include, coconut oil, jojoba oil, beeswax, and vitamin E.

I also picked up a few lush soaps; sandstone and noubar.  Sandstone is a citrusy soap that actually has sand in it to help polish your skin. Noubar is the first palm oil free soap by lush.  It contains peanuts, almonds, walnuts and pistachios and works into a very creamy lather. And best of all - both are vegan!!


I also got the travel sized Sephora makeup palette.  I tested some of the colours and they look nice.  It comes with 4 lip glosses, 9 shadows and one blush.  The colours all look very nice, but some seem to be very light so not sure how good the pigmentation is.
Purple, brown, black, sparkly pink, sparkly blue, smoky silver, silver, shimmery nude, white.
**Note - I ended up returning this palette since the colours were not very blendable and the pigmentation of a   few were a bit weak.**

Anyway that was the sway I scored today.  Hope you liked it.

First Post

So this is my first post on my first blog.  My goal here is to document my 3 fave things in this world;
*Travel
*Beauty
*Health


I am an avid traveler and try to go on at least one extensive trip a year.  I always keep a journal but thought it would be nice to share some of my experiences and favorite places.

I also love make-up and nail art - and would like a place to post some reviews

Lastly I'm a bit of a health nut and love sharing recipes and other health news.


I think that these three aspects are part of my core person and can't wait to start sharing my experiences and knowledge.
