This past Saturday I FINALLY got to step foot into an actual Lush store! I traveled all the way to (almost) Detroit to the Twelve Oaks Mall with a few girlfriends for a day of shopping and adventure!
We wandered about the mall and looked at all the sad puppies locked in the pet store there - discussed the possibility of a PETA-esque rescue mission where we would smash open the glass containers and flea down the halls with a stampede of freshly freed canines bounding along behind us. Somehow I envision this would be happening in slow motion and there is obviously a giant fan blowing our not-a-strand-outta-place-even-after-a-crazy-puppy-freeing-stunt hair because we'd be heroes and who wants a hero with a bad 'Do! Seriously though...there were for-real clearance puppies, and if you came from over 100 miles away, you got an additional $100 off. I thought the whole idea of a "clearance puppy" was just something they said in the movies!?
But, on a positive note - I scored a dress for EIGHT BUCKS! It's an orangey color with an interesting back, perfect for Summer - so you know, I purchased it upon the eve of WINTER! But, I just couldn't resist such a crazy good deal! BOOM: Eight Dollar Outfit - yes please, I'll take two!
We moseyed into several other stores and even found these bangs attached to headbands. Of course we all had to try them on to see what we would look like if we made the chop! Pretty good learning experience really. I may go through with it...maybe, if I don't lose my balls on the way into the hair salon next time 'round???
And then there was LUSH! I finally got to try out several of their products via an online purchase I made thanks to my bestfriend! You can read my review here. But, they sell face masks so freaky fresh they have to be refrigerated so they don't spoil! That said, you can't order them online....major bummer since I really enjoy smothering goop on my face and then showing Rob!! I also really was just looking forward to smelling and touching EVERYTHING in sight! The store was pretty small and kind of hard to navigate because of the herds of folk every which way, but we managed!
They actually do little demonstrations in the store - which is a great way to test the product before you commit to a purchase! I ended up with several little treasures, including a couple face masks and two bath bombs (we don't even have a bathtub by the way - just a shower...so I'll be heading to Mom's for a little R&R and to take up residence in her tub!)
Just used my Brazened Honey Fresh Face Mask tonight and it feels like my face went on a vacation to a magical world where everyone has amazing skin!
And, I can't believe I'm putting this out here on the interwebs but here's what I look like covered in goop!
After the mall we went to this little joint called Lucky Stike (or something of that variety). It was alright - they had an arcade in the other room that looked like fun - kind of reminded me of a casino actually! All the servers were wearing Halloween costumes - we had the pleasure of being served by 'Officer Naughty-Pants.' Unfortunatley we did not have time to let our inner children loose in the place since we wanted to make it to the Outlet Mall on our way home and we were definitely running out of time!!!! Gonna have to save my skeet ball skills for another time I suppose.
Sunday was much more relaxed - Rob and I spent a lazy day playing couch potatoes, but we did manage to watch several movies and I did a few loads of laundry so the day wasn't a total wash!
Let's see if I can remember what we viewed....
1. Grown Ups 2
2. The Purge
3. Monsters University
4. The Internship
5. Man of Steel*
*Rob Only: I had seen this one earlier with Allison in D-Box, so I cleaned up the kitchen tornado!
