Overview/Review: LUSH Products I Have Tried So Far!

Fizzbanger
Fizzbanger Bath Bomb: $5.95
I love the smell of this (apple and spice, not too strong) and you can chop it up and get more use out of it! I don't feel the need to always have a bath bomb with me, but I will definitely repurchase when I want to splurge on some bath products!

Snake Oil Scalp Treatment Bar: $7.95
This is the best, most useful product I have bought from LUSH so far. You rub this in your hand to get oil (I typically use a lighter to speed up the product) and rub it through your scalp. Then you wait 20 minutes and wash your hair. This is perfect for my dry, rough scalp and you don't need much product each time you use it. 

Stepping Stone- $3.95
This was a huge disappointment. When you buy it, it looks like a foot shaped pumice stone. The first time I used this on my wet feet, half of the product crumbled into the water. I read and re-read the directions- I was doing it right the whole time, but it just kept crumbling. It made me mad because it kept wasting product. Now, it looks like the photo above and is unusable.

Review: Maybelline Great Lash Mascara

I'm going to start off this post by giving you a generic overview of the product. It retails at $5.19 at ULTA. It has a simple wand, basically just a spooly. The formula is very wet, so you have to be careful when applying it or it will smear everywhere. I find that this helps to curl your lashes and flare them as well. I would definitely not recommend this by itself because it does NOTHING (to my lashes at least) to help thicken or volumize, which is my main priority in a mascara. I do, however, believe that this would make a great layering mascara. Bottom line: This mascara is not a horrible product, but it really doesn't do much. It would be great for beginners because of the price tag. 
A look at the packaging- classic pink and green tube


The wand is very simple and basic- just a standard spooly


Me wearing the mascara- you can see definite curling and flaring, but no volume
