The Clarisonic Mia is my favorite skincare tool! I love it. The Mia is perfect for travel and everyday use because of its size — it’s Clarisonic’s smallest skin cleansing system. The Mia runs for one minute on one setting. I’ll use it twice — once for my face and once for my neck & décolleté.

I use my Clarisonic with Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple cleanser. This cleanser is so gentle, yet it is strong enough to remove all of my makeup. With purity and the Clarisonic, I know I am removing all of the impurities from my skin.

After my skin is clean, I’ll apply Lancome’s Advanced Génifique serum. I love this because it absorbs quickly into my face, neck and décolleté. My skin looks youthful and radiant after using this serum and I feel that it preps my face well for the final step to my night time skin care routine, Lancome’s Visionnaire

This cream has a pleasant smell and is essentially, a skin corrector. It fixes visible pores, wrinkles, discoloration, and makes your skin feel soft and healthy.

This Lush gift set is the perfect gift for anyone. With 6 awesome products, you are sure to walk away with a new favorite!

This set comes with:

The Comforter
Bubble Gum Lip Scrub
Shimmy Shimmy Sparkle Bar
Sunny Side Bubble Bar
Rock Star Soap
Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly

I showed you this gift set in an earlier post, now it’s time for a review!

The Comforter – My absolute favorite product from Lush. Hands down. The Comforter you get in this set is half the size of the stand-alone Comforter (3.5oz vs. 7oz). You can get at least two uses out of this size Comforter. To use: Just crumble up the bubble bar under your warm running bath water. I like to sweep my hand through the water to really agitate it & get the bubbles going. The Comforter makes your water a nice, bright pink color that is so smooth and silky. I love the smell; it’s kind of fruity, but cool.

Bubble Gum Lip Scrub – I am not a fan of Bubblegum as a smell (I prefer the Mint Julips version of this sugar scrub) , but this scrub is great for giving your lips a nice polish. A little bit will definitely go a long way! To use: I like to first put on a chapstick or lipbalm then apply a little bit of the sugar scrub with my finger. The lip balm will help the scrub to stick. Then gently rub the sugar all over your lips — don’t rub too hard! Then you can lick the scrub off or gently wipe it away with a damp cloth. Makes your lips super soft and smooth.

Shimmy Shimmy Sparkle Bar – This is almost like a lotion bar, but with glitter. It definitely gives a nice glow, but it didn’t absorb very well on me and I felt like I was leaving a glitter trail on my clothes and furniture. I’m not sure the best way to use this. :/

Sunny Side Bubble Bar – This is another bubble bar I like. In fact, if you’re trying Lush for the first time, I recommend trying a bubble bar — any kind, but definitely a Bubble Bar; they’re the best! Sunny Side makes your bath not only silky and bubbly, but glittery gold! And not like chunks of glitter sinking to the bottom of your bath — it’s like swirling liquid gold.

Rock Star Soap – :/ This soap smells weird to me. It’s like a chalky bubblegum smell? Thankfully, the smell doesn’t linger and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry.

Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly – This “jelly” is kind of cool. It’s like a more solid shower gel — think Jell-o consistency. The smell is pleasant and with glitter swirls in it, how could you go wrong? I take a small bit of the jelly and lather it up in my loofa. The jelly is a tad slippery, but once it’s lathered, you’re good to go. Leaves my skin feeling clean and soft.

The Sweetie Pie gift set is $46 at Lush.com and I would rate it 7.5/10.
