Rainbow Honey - June Mini Mystery Bag
hello beauties!♥
a couple days ago i posted a photo on my ig giving a sneak peek on rainbow honey's june mini mystery bag. this is the second bag i've received, there was an issue with last months bag. someone's sticky little fingers thought it would be a good idea to throw a polish to see what would happen. sure enough, it broke and splattered all over my kitchen floor. :/
anywho, for about $13usd a month, you get a couple 5ml of new unreleased lacquers, along with other new products made in their lab. you also have the option of getting the large mystery bag for $25usd, the difference being the size of the lacquers..instead of them being 5ml, they're 15ml.
so let's get right in!
pikake ♥5ml - is a topper with different sized white, pink, orange, and light/dark purple glitters. the base has very small iridescent glitters.
ichigo ♥5ml - a fuchsia jelly with blue and purple iridescent flakes.
♥in natural sunlight outside.
they we're all pretty easy to work with, in both photos i only applied two coats of each. ichigo is the only one that could have used a third coat, to make it more opaque, but it still looks good without it. i like the see-through jelly look of it.
♥with flash indoors.

nucifera ♥4ml - i honestly don't know how to describe this scent. in the insert it says "reminiscent of the tropics and sitting on the beach."
tea biscuit ♥15oz - a scented cuticle balm. this smells soooo good, like kettlecorn popcorn. it's enriched with vitamin e.
tea biscuit exfoliating sugar scrub ♥0.5oz - exfoliates and moisturizes while leaving a subtle sweet scent behind.

Josie Maran - Escape To Morocco
hey guys!♥
i don't know if any of you are into hautelook*, everyday they have sales, 8pm pacific, on top brands & membership is free, but a couple weeks ago they had a sale going on josie maran products. most of her items were sold out, but i did get the chance to pick up a set of four mini body butters.
*by clicking on the link above, after making your first purchase, i receive a $10 credit. after registering for a membership, you will receive your own custom link to invite friends as well!
"argan oil whipped into a light, velvety, non-greasy body moisturizer in four subtly shimmering, lightly fragrant scents in vanilla fig, vanilla peach, toasted coconut and vanilla."
don't think you can really see but i swatched a little bit of all four and it gave me a really pretty luminous glow.
i absolutely love the subtle shimmer they have in them. perfect for those days i want my skin to have a little extra oomph. it does a great job on staying on the skin and not transferring over to my clothes. the smells are all so lovely, nothing obnoxious, & let's not forget that they're whipped with argan oil! i was really impressed with how moisturizing they are, seeing as i've only had the opportunity to try out her products in oil form, i didn't know what to expect with these body butters.
one quick question:
i know there are plenty of flash sale sites out there focusing on different brands or targeted towards a specific group, such as children. are you a member of any other flash sale sites? if so, which ones are your favorite??
