HannahBerle's "Sleeping Beauty" Bath Cocktail
Winner of: $25 Lush Gift Card
The movie I
chose was Sleeping Beauty. I created this bath cocktail today and enjoyed it
this afternoon, it made a beautiful luxurious soak and I hope you like it :)
I
started with twilight bath bomb for two reasons, the relaxing sleep inducing
scent and also its colors. One of my favorite parts in the movie is when the
fairies argue about whether to make her dress pink or blue and they
aggressively fling swirls of pink and blue onto her dress and the design
immediately made me think of twilight.
Next I used the rose jam bubbleroon for
its name and scent. Before princess Aurora knew her true identity she lived in
the woods with the three fairies who renamed her Briar rose. Also, while she
was awaiting her true loves kiss to break her sleeping spell she was holding a
rose on her chest and whenever i see the kissing scene in this movie i imagine
the smell of roses (so romantic) lol
Next in the bath i used dream time bath
melt. Not only does the sent relax you into a slumber but i imagine princess
aurora, while in her slumber, dreaming of the prince she fell in love with in
the woods,
And speaking of their meeting in the woods, this was my inspiration
to use the sexy, floral lust soap. When they met they were in the woods
surrounded by hundreds of flowers and full of love, passion and desire so i
felt this fit perfectly.
When I take a bath i love to pamper myself (and i
think we all should) so i indulged in some treatments. i used the maylin hair
treatment to give my blond hair a light gold shininess that hers had.
I also
used catastrophe cosmetic fresh face mask because of its light berry fragrance.
when princess aurora met her prince for the first time in the woods it was
because the fairies needed to plan her surprise birthday party and sent her to
the woods to collect some berries. If that hadn't have happened she never
would've lived happily ever after :)
I had soooooo much fun getting inspired
and creative with this cocktail so thank you for the motivation :)
BeautyGirl808's "Forrest Gump" bath cocktail
Winner of: Lush prize pack
My cocktail today
is going to be inspired by the beloved movie, Forrest Gump. Although the movie
itself isn’t very relaxing or ideal for a bath, it is one of the most
inspirational movies I have ever seen. So I wanted to include little elements
of Forrest’s life into this bath.
Overall, the bath is on the outdoorsy and
calming side. (After doing this, I have so much more respect for your
creativity and how you still make everything smell nice together!) I hope you
like it.
First, the base of the cocktail is Softy bath ballistic. This is a
retro item that has a light floral scent. It is a perfect representation of who
Forrest was, a complete softy. He wasn’t afraid to be a complete mama’s boy and
would do anything for the love of Jenny. (An alternative: Rose Queen.)
Next is
Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds bubble bar, which has a very earthy scent. I
chose it because while Forrest was serving in Vietnam, it rained for FOUR
MONTHS. So was overjoyed and he finally saw the sun and the blue sky. (An
alternative: Rose Jam or Green.)
Finally, for the bath melt, Dreamtime. I
chose this because throughout the whole story, Forrest follows his dream, his
best friend and the one he loves, Jenny. The scent is very calming but will not
clash with the other scents. (An alternative: Ceridwen’s Cauldron.)
So that is
the base of the cocktail, the rest are just some helpful extra’s to tie it
together.
Tramp shower gel- This has an earthy smell which represents his time
in Vietnam, but also the name represents what Jenny became for a period in her
life. Haha
Mud Flats Soap- This soap has, again, an earthy smell with some rose
undertones (Totally optional because it’s not a scent for everyone.) It
represents what Forrest’s skin was caked with in Vietnam, little did he know
that it was also pretty good for his skin!
Seanik Shampoo Bar- I really wanted
to include this in remembrance of Bubba, Forrest’s only friend in Vietnam.
Bubba talked about his life and passion for the shrimping business 24/7! It’s
one of those wacky characters that you can’t help but fall in love
with!
Jungle Conditioner-I probably don’t to explain this one too much, this
where Forrest spent a major part of his life fighting in the war, the
Jungle.
Lovely Jubblies breast cream-A perfect way to end an earthy floral
cocktail. This rosy cream is especially perfect because who could forget the
scene when Forrest is reunited with Jenny and he lets her touch her… jubblies.
It’s a very funny scene and life changing for Forrest.
I hope that you liked
my idea Kirby! I really took A LOT of time coming up with everything! Sorry
that it’s so long, but I hope you will consider me! My youtube username is
beautygirl808 as well as my twitter name. Thank you.
