All Men Love LUSH - New Products For Men

We all know deep down that our mens secretly love LUSH, we've seen the empty tubs in the bathroom or noticed that a bath bomb has gone missing. Well that's probably cause your partner is secretly obsessed but doesn't want to show his 'feminism' side. Sometime last year I caught out my partner using 'Rub Rub Rub'.. He tried to cover it up by saying 'there was nothing else to wash myself with' etc etc.. But then he confessed, he was the one using all my products. So since then, his been through a thousand 'Rub Rub Rub', many Snow Fairies, Dream Cream etc. Now that his just as obsessed as I am, I don't feel the need to hide how much I've actually spent in stores haha.

LUSH have some exciting NEW products launching in March. These products are for all the men out there who will or will not admit they love LUSH. Starting with a Beard And Face Wash & of course the Moustache Wax. All the details about these products are mentioned down below.

Happy Chinese New Year 2015 Year of the 'Billie' Goat

Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, which marks the first day of the New Year in the Lunar Calendar. 2015 is the Year of the Goat - according to the Chinese 12-year animal zodiac cycle - and begins today, and ends on March 5, 2015. Goats are a favourite animal of the Chinese people, and in popular culture, are thought to love peace, and to be kind and popular.

"We feel the Year of the Goat is the perfect opportunity to celebrate with Billie Goat Soap", says Susheel Gandhi, Billie Goat Soap Brand Manager. “We have Australia’s largest Chinese network, and we’re keen to expand so that more of this community can experience all the skin-loving properties that Billie Goat Soap has to offer. We know that the Chinese in particular love Australian made products, and the notion of Australian goats producing fresh Goats milk on Australian farms.”

Maybelline: Baby Skin Pore Eraser - Review

Let me start this review off by saying, I personally haven't read or seen much about Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser. I first saw on tumblr, I was obsessed with the packaging. I did further research an found out that Baby Skin Pore Eraser has been out since 2013! WHAT? I'm quite surprised it didn't have much media coverage.  

Ever since then, I've been dying to get my hands on it. Now this product isn't available in Australia, i had to purchase online using a forwarding address but for everyone else overseas- its available in stores.
