Hey girls! So the holidays are just around the corner and what is a better way to celebrate than giving the girl/woman of your life Lush’s Snow Fairy Shower Gel. This shower gel came out last year too as part of Lush’s holiday collection and it sold out like hot cakes. Well this year, for all of you who missed out on it last year, here is your chance to grab it this year. The 3.3 fl oz. size retails for $8.95, the 8.4 fl oz. size retails for $16.95, and the 16.9 fl oz. size costs $24.95. These gels can be found at Lush counters, Lush stores, and Lush online. Keep reading to see what I think about this product!
Pro(s):
-Smells great and doesn’t irritate skin.
-Moisturizes well and is vegan.
-Foams up really well.
Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!
Overall review: I guess since this product is so well know, there is nothing to complain. It is absolutely amazing and really goes smelling. There really isn’t anything special about this product other than that it smells great (like sugared bubblegum) and works amazingly. There isn’t anything bad about this. It moisturizes my skin and doesn’t leave it dry. It also has cute glitter in it (not too chunky or anything). If you dig sugar scents and want a pick me up for the winter then this is something worth investing in. Thanks for reading and more posts coming soon!
Rating: 10/10 :)
Is it recommended by Vicky? : Hell yeah; if you love bubblegum and all things girl then this shower gel is for you!

Review: Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel

Review: Sun Labs Self Tanning Set, Body Polisher, and Bath and Body Set
Hey girls! After a week of my break (I went to Florida with my cousin), I come back to you again with a review. Don’t any of you want that perfect tan without the sun or sun beds because I know I do! After seeing the perfect tans the chicks have in Florida, I decided to come up with a post that reviews products to use for achieving the perfect tan. My one must have product for the summer is the Sun Labs Self tanner set. It comes with an exfoliator, the self tanner, and the maintaining lotion. I especially like using the body polisher with it. It gently exfoliates for an even coating of the self tanner. Keep reading to see my review of all of these products and for additional prices, please take a look at their site!
My review (by product):
-Sun Labs Exfoliant Body Gel: This gel can be purchased individually or in the trio set at different prices. The 8oz. pump bottle retails for $10. It’s green in color and has small exfoliating beads. It’s good to use before applying the self tanning lotion. It smells like mint and isn’t really strong so it won’t bother people with sensitive noses. You just need a small amount and it will exfoliate your entire leg/arm. I really think this product by itself is really worth purchasing. It’s also paraben free and cruelty free. I like it a lot!
-Sun Labs Self Tanning Lotion (Dark): This lotion can be purchased in the trio or alone for $28.50 for 8oz. (I think it’s cheaper in the trio). The tanner comes in different colors to fit people of different skin tones. It comes in medium, dark, and ultra dark. Medium is for super pale people who don’t want to looks too tan, dark is for people who are medium skin toned, and ultra dark is for people who already have a tanned body but want to enhance their tan. I like this a lot because it stays on for a week on me (with proper maintaining) and its paraben and cruelty free. It smells like Dr Pepper just for the reference. It’s also tinted which helps you realize where you’re applying the lotion. The good thing is that it has a pump so you can control how much you’re taking out of the bottle. With a clear one, you might miss a spot. I really think it’s a must have for all pale chicks in the summer since it lasts a really long time!!
-Sun Labs Tan Moisturizer/Maintainer: This product also comes only in the trio set ($39.95) which contains 8oz. of product. It’s a white maintainer moisturizer which helps your tan stay on longer. It helps to keep the moisture in as well as the tan. It smells like aloe and works really great. I think you’ll all enjoy this product since it’s also cruelty and paraben free.
-Sun Labs Body Polisher set: This seems like the dupe to the infamous Clarasonic. It comes with a face buffer (it helped me in the absorption of my facial moisturizers), a body buffer (in conjunction with the exfoliant it prepped my skin for the tanner by exfoliating), the face buffer (helps exfoliate my skin and works with any cleanser), and a pumice stone (helps get rid of dead skin cells in my knees, elbows and heels). All of these products work great with the Sun Labs exfoliant. This body polisher set with the beach bag (which I have). I love the pumice stone the most. It’s the best product I’ve probably ever used before. I think it’s a great dupe for the Clarasonic and at just $59.95 (you also get the Juniper body set) you cannot pass up an offer like that.
-Juniper Bath and Body Set: It comes with 8oz. of juniper berry scented lotion, cleansing gel, and exfoliant. It also works very well in conjunction with the body polisher set. The lotion moisturizes well, the exfoliator works really well even on its own, and the cleansing gel cleanses my body really well. It retails for $25 by itself, but if you want it with the beach bag and polisher set, its $59.95. I think that it’s amazing and you should really think about investing in it!

Mini-Reviews: Honeycat Cosmetics Products
Hey girls! So, I come to you today with my series of mini-reviews. I had some Honeycat Cosmetics’ products for a while now that I wanted to share the quality and everything with you, but was too lazy to make different posts about. So today, I’m targeting all of those products and reviewing every product. Their retail values will all be in their reviews so look out for that and the link to purchase the items will be in the sidebar. Thanks again for reading!
My review (by product):
-Rub My Tummy, Milk and Honey Hand and Body Cream: This retails for $12 for 6 oz and comes housed in a medium sized tub. It’s very thin in consistency, absorbs quickly, and eaves your hands feeling hydrated, soft, smooth, and smelling sweet like honey mainly. I have no complaints about it and I think it’s worth the $12.
-Chick of the Sea Foaming Bath Crystals: These come in a tin (like the tins that anchovies or sardines come in) and retails for $10. It’s supposed to be one time use, but I’ve saved it up and used it in 2 separate baths. They foam up really nicely in warm water and contain essential oils that leave my skin feeling soft and moisturized. I just wish that for the price, they gave more product.
-Whisker Slicker I’m in Heat Lip Balm: This lip balm comes in a chap stick-like container and retails for $6. It smells like cinnamon and tastes sweet. It really moisturizes your lips since they’re so much vitamin E in it. It feels warm and sort of tingling on your lips when you first apply, but it eventually subsides. I think that this is by far the best product I’ve ever tried by them!
-Frisky Kitty Bath Time Fizzy (bath bombs): One bath bomb is $10 and they have four different scents from oatmeal to rose and lemongrass. You are supposed to use on bath bomb per bath, but I cut it in half and I get two uses out of it. It has lots of essential oil and smells great so it moisturizes while giving you a calming spa experience.

Would I recommend any of these? : Well, my personal faves are the lip balm and the bath bomb so think about investing in them!

Review: new Bodycology Hand and Body Lotion
Pro(s):
-Very affordable since it will only set you back $4.99.
-Very moisturizing and the scent will last a god 3-4 hours.
-Its feels lightweight and non-greasy.
Con(s):
-I wish it had some SPF!
Overall review: This moisturizer is great for the summer since its lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy or oily. That’s one of my pet peeves when a lotion is oily and feels slick. I just hate that, but thankfully this isn’t like that. The scent I have is in Vanilla Cupcake and it smells exactly like it. I love sweet scents as I might have said in a previous review so I love this. I think that if this company came out with more products then it will be better than Bath & Body Works. Thanks to Jamie for requesting this review and I hope all of my viewers enjoyed this!

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes, especially since its so affordable and high quality!

Review: Lush Space Girl Bath Bomb
Hey girls! Did you know Lush came out with Space Girl bath bomb that makes your skin shimmer after one use? Well, today I will be reviewing it. It retails for $4.95 on their site and in-store. It smells a lot like black currants. You can buy it by clicking the link in the side bar to go to their site. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-Its vegan and it makes you skin really soft!
-The scent is fruity and relaxing!
-It pretty affordable compared to other Lush bath bombs!
Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!
Overall review: It makes you skin glow because of the shimmer, but the point of bath bombs is to condition the skin. Basically you fill your tub with warm water and just drop one of these bad boys in to fizz up. Then soak yourself in the water. It will change color based on the bath bomb, but in short, the bath bomb has moisturizing oils which condition your skin. Its best for soaking after a long week of hard work (believe me I know how it feels to stand around checking patients all day long). Thanks to Anya for requesting this review and I hope all of you enjoyed.
Thanks for helping me reach 10,000 subscribers!

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, great for a quick treat after a long day at work!

Review: Embyolisse Lait-Creme Concentre
Hey girls! Sorry for being MIA. Actually I had to go to a huge wedding to go to where I was the makeup artist. It was actually an extended family because the brides grandmother had like 4 brothers and 6 sisters and I had to do makeup for the brides second, third, and fourth cousins as well as aunts and uncles. Well, today I’m reviewing an important product I used at the wedding. It’s called the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentre. It’s basically an all over cream that you can apply to the body, hands, or face. It retails off of the Embryolisse website and it ranges anywhere from $14-$25 depending on what size you purchase. They have a 1 oz. size and a 2n6 oz. size. What is claims to do on the site is to prime, moisturize, and makeup remover. It also claims to reduce irritation after shaving. Keep reading to see if these claims are true! 
Pro(s):
-It’s good to use as a primers and moisturizer because it sinks in easily and doesn’t leave a greasy feel.
-Moisturizes really well and leaves face feeling soft since its consistency is really thin.
-When used for makeup remover, it leaves the skin hydrated feeling (kind of like when you use Lancôme’s makeup remover).
Con(s):
-It irritates my armpits when I used it to reduce irritation after shaving.
-The fragrance might annoy and cause irritation to people.
Overall review: It’s good to purchase if you want a 3-in-1 product. It primes nicely because it leaves my skin very soft and hydrated and my foundation glides on easily. While priming it moisturizes and as a makeup remover, you don’t need much of it to remove heavy duty eye shadow and eyeliner. It might be hard to remove waterproof mascara but my Lash blast Waterproof came off. For the most part, it's a good staple to have in your makeup bag. Thanks to Nanina for requesting this review. I hope all of you enjoyed!

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, but a bit on the pricey side!

Review: Honeycat Cosmetics Coquito Bubble Stuff
Hey girlies! Are you one of those people who stopped taking bubble baths but want to start again? Well, I think Honeycat Cosmetics Coquito Bubble Stuff is the best product for you. The good thing is that you can buy this product off of honeycatcosmetics.com. It’s very inexpensive too. The price is $8 for the 8 oz size and $12 more for the 18oz size. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-The fragrance lasts a long time.
-A little bit of bubble stuff creates a lot of bubbles and even my nieces like it.
-The fragrance is really calming.
-I just love the fragrance.
Con(s):
-No cons!
Overall review: This is by far the best bubble maker I’ve ever used. It creates pretty big bubbles in warm or cold water and I really love it. I really don’t have much to say about this product, everything is great. The packaging is cute, the product smells great and works amazingly, and whoever asked for a review of this, hun you’ll love it to death. I already got another one and I’m half way done with it. I hope you enjoyed the review, thanks a lot for all the support.

Review: Lux Naturals Body Butter
Hi girls. Today I’m reviewing the Lux Naturals body butter in Sugar Cookie. This is available at luxnaturals.com. It is $16 which is very reasonably priced for something that lasts for a while. I was sent this about two weeks ago and I’ve been using it ever since and it doesn’t even have a dent in it. I love this stuff and keep reading to know more.
Pros: The smell is very strong and I love it. It smells exactly like sugar cookies. It moisturizes very well. It’s not greasy or oily; it’s just right. It doesn’t just sit on top of the skin, it actually absorbs into the skin within a few minutes.
Cons: No cons.
Overall review: I swear that I could live off of this stuff. It doesn’t feel like any normal moisturizer since it actually goes deep into the skin instead of sitting on top of the epidermis. I love the smell, just the way my house smells when my mom makes cookies. It’s not too strong although when you sniff it in, you can smell it pretty heavily. The scent doesn’t fade which is a good thing. It melts exactly like butter in my hands so it becomes a lot like massage oil. Then after I shower, I rub it in and it moisturizes. I would recommend this to all of you out there that has dry skin. It’s best for winter time.
Would I purchase it again?: Yes, if this wasn’t sent to me and I actually bought it. Then yes I would buy it again, but one jar of this stuff lasts an entire 2 years probably because of the quantity.
Rating: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10
Is it VICKY approved? YES!
Disclosure: I was SENT this product for FREE. I received no compensation for this review. I have no affiliation with this company. All opinions are 100% honest.

Review: Lux Naturals Body Butter Bar
Hi girls, I apologize for not being able to put up any posts. I just had so many clients coming to me. Today I’m reviewing the Lux Naturals Body Butter Bar. It’s a lot like the Lush Massage Bars except not greasy and more moisturizing. This retails for $14 from luxnaturals.com. Keep reading for more information.
Pros: These increase the moisturized level in your skin and aren’t greasy at all. I have a dry spot which is near my elbow and when I put this on overnight, my skin is much moisturized in the morning. After the bar is absorbed, my skin is very smooth.
Cons: No cons!
Overall review: This bar is better than the Lush one in my opinion. It’s not greasy and helps my dry spots. Since there is a huge bar, it will most likely last you for a year even if you use it every day. This is why I like it so much. I can’t wait to finish this one and get another one.
Would I purchase it again? : Yes!
Rating: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10
Is it VICKY approved? : Yes, I will definitely buy it again!

Review: Lux Naturals Candle
Hi girls, I apologize for not being able to put up any posts. I just had so many clients coming to me. Today I’m reviewing the Lux Naturals Candle in Tahitian Vanilla. I’ve tried this product out for two weeks and now I’m doing a review on it. I like the scent; it’s a lot like just vanilla, I don’t know why they named it Tahitian Vanilla. Well, keep reading to know more!
Pros: The scent lasts a while, and you can smell the scent in the entire room. It melts evenly pretty fast; like a couple of hours.
Cons: The scent is kind of waxy smelling, but other than that it’s perfect.
Overall review: I love this. It smells very nice and refreshing after a day of staring at peoples faces and trying to coverup their acne. I just run off the lights and just sit on the couch with this on.I really suggest this for people who want to relax without paying the heavy spa price.
Would I purchase it again? : Yes, but I don’t use candles a lot.
Rating: 9.4/10
Packaging: 10/10
Is it VICKY approved? : Yes, take home you new candle and relax with any scent you want!

Review: Lux Naturals Soaps
Hi girls, I apologize for not being able to put up any posts. I just had so many clients coming to me. Today I’m reviewing the Lux Naturals Soaps that the owner sent me. This review isn’t going to be in the normal format because I love them too much to be describing them in any other way. She sent me their Sweet Pea soap, Watermelon soap, Red apple soap, and their best seller: the Moonlight pomegranate soap. This is the description on the website and I totally agree with everything stated:
“Each bar is a big 4.5 ounces. Made with Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Palm Kernel Oil, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Castor Oil, Jojoba Oil and Avocado Oil (All oils are unrefined as nature intended). We then add the finest in pure Essential Oils or Fragrance Oils that are specially formulated for soap. Some of our soaps also contain healthy herbs, herbal extracts or natural exfoliates. All of our soap is handmade by us in small batches and is animal friendly, vegetarian, eco friendly and petroleum free. You are going to love it!”
The soap that I found most exfoliating was the watermelon soap because it has little seed in it. In the other soaps, there is no exfoliant factor. These are very all natural because they are eco friendly and just very organic. I started using them three weeks ago and I’ve used them every day (except for 5 days because I had to try out another brand’s soap) because they leave my skin moisturizing. I think it’s because of the olive oil and the coconut oil as well as other oils. Well, not matter what’s in them, I really like using it since I have dry skin and this really helps it. This product is approved by me and I would definitely buy this again! I hope you enjoy this review! Thanks!

Review: Lush Honeybee Bath Bomb
Hi girls, I apologize for not being able to put up any posts. I just had so many clients coming to me. Over the Christmas break, many companies sent me different things, so I will be reviewing them over the weekend which is today and tomorrow. I’m reviewing the Lush Honeybee Bath Bomb now. It is one of Lush’s best selling products for the winter. Keep reading for more information.
Pros: It is perfect for dry skin and it moisturizes very well. What it does is actually fizz in your bath when water touches it and it makes your bath smell nice and it colors it. Since this bath bomb is yellow, your bath turns yellow. It has moisturizing properties because when I was in the bath, there are oils on my skin that are very moisturizing. I didn’t have any problems with this product. I used only half, but on my opinion, you only have to use one fourth of the bath bomb to get great results.
Cons: No cons!
Overall review: This is what I experienced. I really love the bath bombs. Previously, I had purchased one, but I didn’t know how to use it and I didn’t have a blog to review it on so I just lost hope. This one is beneficial to your skin because it moisturizes your dry calves and other parts of your body where the moisture level tends to become low in the winter time. It has essential oils in it to moisturize. I would compare the scent of this very much to the scent of their “Honey I Washed The Kids” soap; of honey but mixed with all natural oils and extracts.
Would I purchase it again: Yes, definitely. If I didn’t have this sent to me and I bought it on my own, would have bought this again.
Rating: 9.5/10
Packaging: 10/10
Is it VICKY approved?: Yes it is. I’m definitely going to go and buy another one.
