Review: Lover Revealed
Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Butch and Marissa have come a long way in this book. They've been through hardships like none of the other couples have, I think.
You can compare them to Rhage and Mary but at the end of their book Mary's humanity "problem" is solved with help from the Scribe Virgin. With Butch and Marissa there isn't really something like that. Butch has to make hard decisions and Marissa has to learn how to deal with those decisions that he makes.
I was surprised that there wasn't as much focus on Mr. X and the lessers, but I was happy about it. Honestly, the whole lesser thing puts me in a foul mood, and since I'm a romantic at heart, I like to read about the love relationships.
Overall a great read, this fourth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood kept me on the edge of my seat and is making salivate over the thought of book 5, which I must wait for since my mother is busy reading it.

My Review of Dragon's Egg
Originally submitted at LUSH USA
: As you bathe in the whirlpool of vibrant, fiery colour and inhale the refreshing sherbet scent of lemon and bergamot, you'll feel like you're up and away on the back of your own dragon. Citrus oils are known for their invigorating effect on the mind, and Dragon's Egg is no exception! ...
Best. Bomb. Ever.
When you survey your stash, you label this product: Guilty Pleasure
Pros: Mystical, Magical, Softening, fun
Best Uses: Bath
Was this a gift?: No
This was my second bath bomb after I used Butterball. Butterball is a nice, calm little thing. Dragon's Egg was big and flamboyant and I adore it. I love the glitter and when the center starts to fizz it's like a baby Dragon is born and it's soaring through the glittery night skies (if you want to get poetic with it.) I love this one! Will definitely buy again.

My Review of Butterball
Originally submitted at LUSH USA
There are so many things to love about Butterball, but let's start with the fragrance. The mixture of warming vanilla musk and ylang ylang is divine; it stays with you long after you leave the bath. We add slivers of cocoa butter that melt into the hot water and soften your skin. You'll be ...
Staple.

Best Uses: Bath
Describe Yourself: Normal Skin
I love this bath bomb and I always buy more than one when I get them. It was my first one to try because they are slightly cheaper than the others, but just because it's smaller and cheaper doesn't mean that it doesn't pack a punch! This thing is amazing and leaves me super soft and I feel so sexy!
It's a staple in my collection and I would go crazy without it.

My Review of Twilight
Originally submitted at LUSH USA
That moment when the sun starts setting into the night sky, painting it with vibrant hues of orange and purple before being peppered with sparkling stars, is a wonder that we pause to admire with those we love. Recreate twilight in your bath water with clouds of lavender, ylang ylang and ovaltine t...
Delicious!

Pros: Relaxing, Smells Great, Magical, Softens Skin
Best Uses: Bath
Describe Yourself: Normal Skin
This product was amazing! I was in Lush a few days ago, and the guys there had mentioned that this one had glitter (which I adore in a bath bomb - makes it extra special.) I had mentioned that I liked Dragon Egg and they suggested this. I went home and tried it right away. It fizzles nicely and I loved how it turned my water lavender, since that's my favorite color. There is a smoky froth that floats throughout the bath with smatterings of glitter. It was so magical, and I felt that I could stare into the water forever.
Wonderful to sit back in, relax, unwind and let your mind let go of the hard day you've had.
