Hi, My name is Allie. And i'm a LUSH addict.

So today after school, I wandered to one of the local malls and into the LUSH store. My sister has become OBSESSED with LUSH and has a huge collection. She literally is OBSESSED. So she stalked the LUSH store until she knew when the Easter collection was coming in and it was coming in Monday. So of course we had to go today. I also wanted to check out the new MAC Liberty of London collection. HUGE disappointment. I didn't buy anything, nothing appealed to me at all.

So this post (i'm getting so good with posting!!) will be a LUSH haul. I bought everything from the LUSH Easter collection, except for the pink eggs. They reeked of 'Snow Fairy' and we all know how I feel about that. But my sister got everything haha, i'll try and convince her to film a video soon!

So this is one of the LUSH Easter classics. A huge egg filled with yummy goodness. The outer shell is a HUGE

bath bomb cut in half and is recomended to use in 4 baths. It retails for $24.50 but in my opinion it's worth it! You get 4 bath bombs in The Honey Bee formulation, 1 full size Ma Bar bubble bar and a little, cute, honeycomb cut out of Honey I Washed the Kids soap. SO CUTE and a great value :) It's called the Happy Easter Gift.

->This next cute item is a bubble bar called theDorothy Bubble Bar, obviously named after The Wizard of Oz and the song "Somewhere over the Rainbow" :) SUPER cute! I love the look of this one. It's a really yummy smelling. LUSH says that "your bath-water will be as blue as the skies over munchkinland and the exotic scent of ylang and sweet figs will make you want to go skipping off to see the wizard. A better day awaits you at the end of our rainbow."

<- This bath bomb is called the Ickle Baby Bot Ballistic. It isn't on the USA or Canadian website, but it is on the UK website. At my LUSH store, it retails for $3.95. It is supposed to help 'little ones' get to sleep, but you can obviously use it at any age. It's a cute little robot, I love it! It smells like "lavender and sandalwood oils' perfect for a nice warm bath!

This need bath bomb is called 'Honey Bun' and it retails for $3.95. I thought it was shaped like a bunny with ears, but

apparently it's in the shape of a traditional Japanese cake. It smells really good, like toffee with sweet orange and bergamot oils to boot! Smells just like caramel!

Possibly my favorite bath bomb. I never usually buy two of something, but this one smelt SO good. It smells of delicious grapefruit and I adore citrus. And it's in the cutest shape of a baby chick! It's called the Hippy Chick bath bomb! BTW, you can also use it as an Emotibomb in the shower too if you're not a bath person! These are $4.95 each.

The other pink egg bath bomb smells like snow fairy, I felt sick just by smelling it. So no thank you, haha!

Are you purchasing anything from the collection? Let me know!

SKINCARE -
How many times do you wash your face daily?
I try to wash my face twice a day but I usually don't do a full out routine! I wash my face w/ a hot face cloth in the morning just to open all my pores and clean them out, then moisturize.

Pencil 90% of the time, gel the other 10%. Liquid is rare because I find it hard to use.

How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Hardly Ever! Only when I first started using eyeliner :)

My iPhone: A Love Story (My favorite Apps & Accessories!)

As many of you girlies know, I recently got an iPhone which has been the smartest investment I have EVER made, I think. It is my all time favorite phone and I am a total Apple convert now. I went from a PC to a MacBook and a BlackBerry to an iPhone. You know what they say, once you try a Mac or iPhone, it's hard to go back!

I bought the iPhone 3GS in White. For some reason, I found the white one much more 'me' and 'chic-er'. I have no clue why. I feel it makes the phone different and more unique? *Shrugs* Who knows?

So many people have been asking me:

-What case do I have?

-Favorite apps?

-Tips?

-Why I like it so much?

What better way than a post to answer :)

So the case that I have is a case made my Kate Spade! I purchased mine at the Apple store for around $30, I believe. What I love about the case is how thick it is. I dropped my old phone all the time, and since this phone is so delicate, I want to take very good care of it! The plastic is very thick and secure which I really like! It also has a really good grip! I would totally recommend it! I also like that on the inside, it says "Have Courage"

What are my favorite apps you may ask...

NEW FAVORITE APP: Pranksterz

Probably the funniest app you will ever use. Probably my favorite thing to do in my spare time. All you do, is block your number, call a friend or family member and go to this app. There are different voices to do prank calls. I have been doing this all day. I did it to my Dad with my Mom and Mom's best friend and her sons. Needless to say, my dad thought he was being set up and spent an INSANE amount of money to trace the call. PRICELESS.

1) Twitterrific: I am a Twitter addict and I love how easy it is to use. Within 5 minutes of downloading this onto my iPhone, I knew how to work it! I also LOVE snapping TwitPics.. If you follow me on Twitter, you would know this :$

2)Shazam: We've ALL been in this situation. You're listening to this really good song on the radio, but can't figure out what it's called or who sings it. Well know you can with a tap of your finger! Just place your iPhone close to the source of sound and before you know it, you'll have the name, artist and other options! (Free!)

3) The Kim Kardashian Official App: I am a Kim K fiend, I love her! So when she came out with her own app, I needed it! It's really fun, you can ask her questions and she'll answer eventually :)

4) DoodleJump: My favorite iPhone game! SO fun and addicting. At first, it seems stupid. But trust me, you'll become addicted.

5)Smacktalk!: This is the cutest app ever! I love doing it!

These are just some of my favorite apps! If you have iPhone or iPod touch, what are your favorite apps? Let me know!

Disclaimer... to clear the rumors.

Hi All!

I have been getting a ton of questions lately about whether I receive products for free and if I get paid... So this blog post will be all about that!

I am going to be honest:

I have received many products for free. Everything from eyeshadows, blushes, foundations, hair products, skin care products and much more.

BUT on my YouTube page where it says "if you're a company interested in me trying your products......." I also write that I reserve the right to NOT review a product or tell my viewers about the product if I don't like it. The companies know that when they send me the products!

I honestly have not showed you, half of what I have recieved just because I don't like it! I want you to rest assure that I will ALWAYS be honest with you and never steer you in the wrong direction to make a buck or two!

Now for the 'getting paid' issue.... NEVER so far! I have never been offered in my whole YouTube experience to be paid. I truly believe that there are a couple (literally 2) of people who feel the need to be paid... which I find ridiculous. I mean, you're already getting products for free! Why do you need to get paid?

I just wanted to let you guys know my philosophy and clear any questions you had because I have been getting a TON of questions about that lately!

I just want to make it clear that I would never try to sell anybody something I don't like for the benefit of me. We all work hard for our money and shouldn't waste it on junk :)

My Current Wishlist!

Hey Everyone!

I know, I know... I said I would update this thing more often and I still haven't! It's just really hard for me to post because I don't even think people read my blog, haha! Oh well! So people have been asking me to do a blog post on my current wish list items since it is ever growing! So here goes...

Oh-- and everything will be in the order I would like to purchase them in :)

1) Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy 30 or 35

*Drooools* I have ALWAYS loved Louis Vuittons ever since I began to appreciate my Mom's (and other family member's) purse collections! I love the shape of the bag and how big it is! Now I know you can buy some REALLY good fakes out there, but I want the real thing! I mean although most people wouldn't know, I would! So my Mom made a deal with me. If I got over 85% overall on my report card for Term 2 (my last average was 76%. ew) my parents would be my dream bag!

I would feel bad though, so I am saving my money to contribute to the hefty almost $800 this baby costs!

2) Canon Vixia HF20

I currently film on my MacBook (Common FAQ!) and now that I have over 5,800 subscribers (OMG!!!!! I just got a message from a sweet girl telling me!) I feel like I should make my videos higher quality for you! I love my MacBook (but it's old, and a hand me down from my sister!) and I love the little remote it comes with, haha! I am telling you that if it doesn't come with it, i'm moving onto one that does! Is that bad?

3) A MacBook Pro

As I said above, I am currently using (& typing on) my white MacBook. It was my sisters but when she graduated from elementary school (as a tradition) she got a new laptop to take with her to high school and do all her assignments, ect on. Because I knew MacBooks are good to film on, she decided to hand it down to me! Although I love this laptop, it's old and nearly 4 years old!

and last but not least...

4) iPhone 3GS

So many of you know I have a BlackBerry pearl and I LOVED it up until the summer time! For some reason it keeps freezing on me CONSTANTLY! I can hardly use anymore which sucks! When I called Rogers to see if I was elegible for an upgrade they said I would be only on September 29th, 2010! I know where i'll be on September 29th!

And that sums it up! I know it's all expensive stuff, but I won't get it all this year! It will be split up, DEFINITELY!

What's on your wish lists?

Fake MAC Cosmetics

A video about this is coming soon!

FAKE MAC WEBSITES:

http://www.brush111.com

http://www.cosmeticshotsale.com

Sometimes -> http://www.ebay.com

eBay: On eBay be sure to read the feedback about the seller and read the fine print. Be aware and trust your instinct! If it looks to good to be true, it probably is. Make sure you buy from a credible seller and don't be shy to ask questions!

-If your product is fake you need to demand a refund.

-Make sure to be aware of what you're buying! Pay close attention to details w/ packaging and colors.

EX: This picture from http://www.cosmeticshotsale.com shows "MAC Hello Kitty Lipsticks". MAC did not come out with this many lipsticks and definetley did not have that cheap packaging with 'lipstick' on the front: http://www.cosmeticshotsale.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=137

-They're even selling fake MAC makeup bags on www.cosmeticshotsale.com, most MAC bags are glossy not canvas, cheap material.

-Unless it's special edition, MAC powders NEVER come in rectangular casing like this: http://www.cosmeticshotsale.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=176

It's ridiculous.

-I think this is pretty self explanatory: http://www.cosmeticshotsale.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=30

-Their eyeliner page is humorous! MAC never came out w/ Heatherette or Hello Kitty LE eyeliner!

-MAC eyeshadows come in circular pots w/o sponge tip applicators & mirrors if they are legit and not special editon. Even then most of the LE eyeshadows are still circular.

-MAC does not have brush rolls that come with brushes. http://brush111.com/index.php?gOo=goodspic.dwt&goodsid=338

Would this be a good choice?

http://cgi.ebay.com/NAIL-POLISH-acrylic-table-RACK-DISPLAY-HOLD50-polishes_W0QQitemZ310189655092QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4838be8434#ht_636wt_736

I am thinking of buying this to store my MAC eyeshadows/pigments/paintpots. Is this a good choice, because I know there are many different kinds of nail polish racks on eBay. Does this look like a good choice?

Let me know :)
