The Body Shop 4-Step Smoky Eyes Palette Review


For this past Christmas, I got the 4-Step Smoky Eyes eye shadow palette from The Body Shop! No girl can pass up an eye shadow palette, big or small! I was really happy when I got this because I've been wanting it forever and I remember asking for it because the colors looked beautiful! Dark glittery browns with a shiny Ivory and a shimmery lighter version of a deep carrot orange color. They all caught my attention super fast and they go well all together, separate or with other colors!

One of my favorite things about this palette is the sleek black case the eye shadow sits in. Its a good size and the logo is simple and cute. I sometimes (usually) have trouble opening eye shadows and at first this one gave me a hard time but over time I think I got the hang of it (:


It came with tiny little makeup brushes that I used once I do believe, but I usually don't use the little brushes that may come inside eye shadows because I like using my regular eye shadow brushes. But here's an inside like at this cute little palette!




The first two lighter shades and the last darker shade go on quite easily but the glittery third shade needs a little bit more application to get it the way I usually want it, other than that, I definitely love this palette and it's one of my favorites! 

If anyone has any other amazing palettes to recommend (big or small), let me know in the comments because I've been looking and I'd like to buy some new ones (:

Bath Time Fun

Sundays are a day for relaxing and getting stuff done that you have been putting off all weekend (if your like me). Now, I still go to school, I'm a senior in high school and so my Sundays are days where I like to just sit a relax before a busy school week. I usually take showers at night during the weekends and showers in the morning on weekdays (helps me wake up when I need it). 

But Sunday nights I usually dedicate that time to a nice bubble bath with good music and relaxation. It relaxes my muscles and all my stress (from school) go away once I lay in the nice warm, bubbly water. I pin my hair up and let all the worries go away. 

Now the fun part! What I use (:


To get the nice pretty bubbles I use the Sweet Pea Bubble Bath from Bath & Body Works. Now I don't usually like sweet pea as my mom absolutely loves it, but I used it this time (and probably this time only) for a good sweet smell. 

To wash my body I used this new shower gel I compiled over Christmas from my sister. It's from the Tuscan Hills selected scents collection and it smells heavenly. It's French Lavender and now one of my favorites (:


To wash my dreadful hair, I say dreadful because its damaged and discolored at the moment, I use the L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 Restoring shampoo and conditioner. Now to make my air less dreadful this shampoo and conditioner do 5 things, hence the 5 in the name. It rebuilds fibers, strengthens hair, vitalizes, makes it silky and makes it shine. I can't argue with that! 

Those are my products I use to get the most out of my bath time. 

What kind of products do you use in the shower/bath and what could you recommend for me? (:
