As I continue to become less and less dependent on cosmetic companies for my beauty products {I now make my own lip balm, face masks, shower gel, lotion, and sugar scrub, which I will be posting the recipe for soon!}, I came across a woman who also has the same ambition as me and has turned it into a one-woman-owned business. Dissatisfied with “boring” scents and not-so-animal-friendly products that permeate the beauty market, Luca Cusolito began mixing up her own cosmetic cocktails and launched Lollibomb. Lollibomb products are 100% vegan and have received raving reviews in places like Threadbanger, Bust Magazine, and Etsy. Inspired, and curious about her delicious scents {such as warm pumpkin muffin, deep fried ice cream, and strawberry shortcake}, I bought a few things.

I bought a Vegan Surprise Box, which came with Luca’s Vegan Whipped Body Frosting in Birthday Cake and Sugar Rush… I couldn’t believe how spot-on the birthday cake scent was!! I can’t stop smelling myself! The box, which was a clear plastic Chinese take-out box with pink polka-dots on it {nice style, Luca!}, also contained a Warm Vanilla Bean Fragrance Roller and a sample of her Kiss & Tell Fragrance Oil. All for only $15! Totally worth it! I also bought Strawberry Splash Edible Massage Oil {which smells, feels, and tastes scrumptious!} and a sample pack of the Vegan Mineral Foundation Powder light shades. Of course, as I suspected, I am Lili, the lighest shade of all. Sigh. The mineral powder goes on smoothly and even though it feels like I’m not wearing any powder, it evens up my skin tone and covers blemishes very nicely. I will be ordering more when I run out of my sample, for sure!

Anyway, I loved EVERYTHING I bought from Lollibomb, and it was such a great deal. The scents last longer than any other product I’ve ever used. I highly, highly recommend purchasing from Luca if you’re looking for some delicious scents with natural, cruelty-free ingredients. Even if you’re not a fan of sugary scents, Luca has something for everyone: earthy, feminine, floral, fruity, and clean scents. It’s no wonder an alternate address for her website is smellpretty.com! <3
