Lushmas and boxing 1

Sence I never posted my first lush Christmas purchase and today I got my first boxing sale in I intend to possibly do 1-2 more purchases depending on stock and my money I know I'm running low on deordant and shampoo so eventually I'll have to get more 

So here's the lushmas purchase it's mostly stock images from lush tho 

Let's start with a new bomb! Yog nog! I love yog! Soap and bomb is as nice

Lushoween purchase 1

After seeing the leaked x-mas/Halloween stuff im excited! I've spence gotten a few things waiting on some more to come in cheaked my store and first time looked really empty! 2nd time had a little more luckily but no fresh face masks! So I had to make my own 

Also in that stop at the mall I decided to stop at Starbucks it was a disaster! A "short chai double chai coconut milk with 2 short whips" nearly had soy milk (it IS an allergen!) just had "extra chai" and was "with whip" then at the end when I got my drink I asked about the whips and was told I had to pay for them! I have NEVER been charged for them AND I ordered them with my drink so if I was getting charged that was the perfect time to charge me! So wtf? Now after that being 2nd in a week they want me to call cs and seem unwilling/caring to reply to tell me why I should bother calling 

The first I got 2 non-answers about extras being charged in tea refills with the 2nd there was an impression of "here's some money now shut" which to me implies I'm not to be charged for the extras least implies it to me 

Ok so back to topic? 

My first visit I picked up 2 Lord of Misrule bombs they leave the tub red and have popping candy in them I've cut both of mine in quarters allready 

(Most recent is lush stock as I cut mine up) I also got a night wing shower jelly it's a sweet lime smell and I kinda like it! 

Also got some copperhead shampoo atm im liking tho alone isn't ultra smooth on my hair

Jungle solid conditioner I think I'll have to play with it or buy like veganese (I have a sample that's doing well with my hair arm) 

As well as Lord of Misrule shower cream personally? I like the smell! Sweet and spicy hard to explain 

And the oatfix face wash that I made this batch I added water to the oatmeal in the ninja mistake but not terrible loss considering --I also put some sea salt with the almonds and that didn't work so well eighter then mixed by hand as normal for me 

It was in order: 

Oats (2 blender cups powder or near) 

Almonds (about 1 blender powder or near) 

2 bananas 

Bout half cup honey 

Some sea salt 

Splash vanilla 

Some cinnamon

As long as there's a basic ratio it can be made hopefully that's enough to help with making some good luck tho! I'll have to get pics when I make again (atm I have 4 pots with this stuff in it so I'll be set for a time) 

Update

I do not intend to give up the soap projects however between the garden season and life/working sadly there isn't much time to play with soaps so I'm waiting till I have some harvest and have time 

There are herbs I could stand to harvest now and use with/for stuff tho I want more time to play too and the kitchen is its normal disaster so that would be fun 

Also in life my iPhone 6 decided it wanted to stop taking wifi unless I was right next to it! I did everything I could think of to troubleshoot it and I ended up getting a replacement 100% new they said from Apple theory is the 4s backup could be causing issues tho it didn't till recently so I'm not so sure as even having reformatted and it got like nothing which was why they gave me the new one --so I got the new one home and after I start setting it up I notice some what look like scratches on the inner screen at that point I stopped setting it up and waited till morning they just replaced the screen and it gave me a chance to buy a screen protector that I got on when I got it back guy seemed impressed with my skills getting them on but I'm one of the ones that would prefer a screen protector all scratched up then one tiny scratch in my screen call me crazy 

Aside from that we also got to lush (went while waiting for my phone) I got teo and a dragons egg that I loved and smelled like my teo to me mom got a trich sample that she has tested a little she also got a brazilliant (the orangey new one) that I got to try a little of I put it in a tin tho she didn't because just sitting on the side of the tub it got wet and decided to stick there which is never good! It let me get a little to try which isn't all bad 

We also each have a sanmple of rehab (the Rosemary mint shampoo they have because she loves the aced a Rosemary mint) I got some big conditioner and samples of karma and sultana (my goal to make 21 high street fun with them) and she got a twilight bomb that knocked her out so badly I was nearly late for work! So it's gonna be fun when I get back to making stuff 

We also may turn my room into a craft room of sorts as well so a drafting table space for all the art supplies my model stuff my computers (laptops) a bed id like to see it because it's been like that for so long I don't wanna hold to anything but I know it NEEDS to have the ceiling torn down and the walls repainted I hate that pretty pink lol 

Easter hunt!

Just a heads up the wallgreens by me has Easter stuff at 70% off which means really cheap molds for anyone keeping track I got a BUNCH like 3 eggs a pack of carrots and some chicks no pics sadly but I think I'll need another bucket for molds alone I've certainly got enough! 

Olive oil soaps

Just taking a second to point out the soaps I got a while back on clearance have yet to test any THO 

Good news for me!

I finally got another job! It's server only but I think it will be nice I'll get good training too 

Also got a couple bars of Greek olive oil based soap bars that I'll get to play with later on too 

Im actually pretty excited it's only part time but that sounds great to me atm because last year I only had time to work so now I think Id prefer part time for now lol 

Basic starting stuff

I nolonger recall what some of the stuff costs but hopefully I can help enough to know if you're getting deals or not all prices that i recalled at the time are BURYIED on my OUTHER blog at sakura0garden.blogspot.com (caps are from autocorrect) 

So are we ready? My supplies and such atm but im allways watching for stuff too 

First thing you need is some big bowls before I got these (think 5-6 bucks not certain) I had some dollar store BIG bowls they worked well but too much pressure on the stove grate and the bottom would break which isn't good 

Ive also got a bunch of "molds" these were from a big bag at goodwill they were 2 bucks each at target (I paid far less in total but got lucky!) 

Mold/small bowl most of these are .50 at goodwill just gotta watch the glasses 

To me these look like wax tart molds they were *only* hand washed and got rusty people on the bed bath and beyond facebook imply im a moron but they came with no care instructions! Literally the tin and a price sticker if I was gonna use them for food I would have returned them no question but because there intended for molds im not too worried 

Small bowls These were like a couple bucks the post x-mas sale at target 

Most of that's food colouring some aldis (not normal stock) wallmart grocer there's also a pearl tube 4.99 at joanns (take competitions coupons too!) and the little tubs are paint from the dollar store 

Whisk the big ones from kitchen small ones 1.88 at wallmart 

More goodwill molds and dishes and such but far right was .70 on clearance at target 

A few smelly oils to play with 

Some containers (I also have one from my old charity pot but tags are off) 

More molds and I can't wait to get into soap making! 

Molds 

More molds 

These molds are from joanns big are Oreos little are chocolates 

More molds --I like to watch the jello molds that are avalible 3 bucks for 2 big boxes and a mold is worth it to me im getting a ton of shapes to play with! 

Some silicone molds from goodwill --I'll admit I don't like getting these as they can be used for so much else but these are now for bombs and such! 

Measuring cups 1.48 or so at wallmart the coloured were 4 bucks 

Towels to keep area tidy withought ruining the house ones THO if these are gonna stay so fuzzy I may switch to dollar store "shop rags" which are the compressed ones geared to kids (I use them in my car love there reusable) 

Spray bottles these actually have toner tabs on them the right is tea tree left has rose petals 

I honestly don't know if I'm keeping this scoop as you can see it's broken 

Dollar store grater perfect for soaps 

Cheap wallmart spoons I died the handles green THO we only use bamboo in the kitchen 

Some paddles lol got one at a buck at wallmart saw they dropped price so I got the 2nd 

But be careful this can happen with most of them 

Dollar store blade works well for cutting soaps (least the soft lush ones) 

Sams club think was 6-7 bucks 

Think you can see? Lol I don't recall price but they do occasionally go on sale 

These are like 3 bucks each at wallmart 

Dollar store odd huh? 22 oz is 2 bucks at target/wallmart but 14-15 oz is a buck at the dollar store! Im sold! 

Bunch of soaps that I use they were 1-10 bucks glycerin 2.50 baby oil was like 3 bucks ish at target 

Little hand sani was .25 per 2 at staples the baby gel was dollar store next 3 bucks 2 and dollar store soap! 

These are from gfs 

Dollar store 

Far left was "dollar store and more" as I call it rest were target 

A buck 

2.29 or so 

More dollar soaps the white and purple had another bar in them and the yardley I keep one of in my car 

Pectin found clearance 1.75 

This is what I was looking for I think they were 1.59 per box? Target and wallmart both sell 

These are also from the goodwill bag aside from the smelly oil which ive heard is not skin safe 

Some local soaps I have heard dogs need a different ph to what we do so im corious there but ive used lush soaps fine on the dogs (she also said those are made WITHOUGHT the lye process) 

And some more bottles 3 bucks at target 

Well there's my supplies aside from the buckets that should be good for most things to get started ive expanded from what I started with
