Anyways, I had little time and a lot of shopping to do, as I assumed that the shops would be open 'till 9 'o clock because of our Dutch holiday St. Nicholas. I assumed wrong... I was planning on buying some presents for my dad, but since they failed in having the book I wanted, I decided to buy presents for myself instead (sounds like a good deal to me :i)
Of course one has to go and indulge oneself with the awsomeness of all the Lush products, and that was exactly what I did :D I went frantic when I heard of the R&B! I forgot where it stands for; all I know is is that it does not mean Rhythm and Blues! I almost used militairy tactics to be able to get to the nearest Lush shop! R&B is a leave-in conditioner used for dry or curly hair. And since I have these wonderful bouncies in my hair, I thought they would definitely love it! *Review soon!* It fits perfectly with the Curly Girl hair routines I've been doing lately *More explanation soon* In short, the bouncies get only washed with conditioner or sulfate-free shampoo...sulfate-free shampoo is a pain the arse to find, so conditioner it is!! Then after washing you're using a silicone free, parabene free and sulfate free leave-in conditioner. The result --> Gorgeous curlies! <3 The R&B is pretty expensive though, but I guess we Lushies are kinda used to that... The scent is YUMMY though! It's soft fruity; a bit Godiva like! Then! No Drought! It's a dry shampoo without all the nasty stuff that are usually in there. I got a sample last time I went to Lush and I love it! You simple sprinkle some powder onto your hair roots. Lastly I received a foot mask for free! Volcano it is! 
Then I went to the Ici Paris XL, which is a perfume and cosmetics store like the Douglas, because I still had a gift coupon from them. I desperately wanted to try Estee lauder's skin tone illuminator! It's so ridiculously expensive that I have ordered a sample on Ebay first... but the lady sent me the wrong one. Instead of the desired Illuminator I received the Pore minimising skin refinsher, which basically reduces large pores. I sent her an email, and she replied, "Explains why I couldn't find it! I thought i was going crazy!" I lol'd xD Anyways, she promised she would send the correct one, haven't received it yet, though. I couldn't wait, since my gift certificate would expire soon, so...i went ahead and bought it... On ebay it'll cost $16 for 7 ml. the small one (30 ml) in the shop costs around €65. the big one €95. Ridiculous prices really. They were on sale however, and the the 30 ml version now costed €58. Still ridiculous but I had this €25 coupon --> makes it a reasonable price. What it basically does is even out your skin tone. it reduces blotches, dark circles, unevenness, and red spots. It's probably the most expensive beauty product i have ever had and I treat it like my baby...which is weird, but hey, a girl loves nice things! they even gave two free samples! the Advanced Night Repair and the Advanced Night Repair eye. these products also have amazing reviews on the internet!
I also received a free sample of Lancome's Trésor Midnight Rose...and now I want it... It's really sweet *which I love* and it smells of roses *which I love... these two combined is perfect WIN
