Lush Haul!


Ok so I may have got a bit excited when I went into Lush the other day. This is what I ended up with....



I find it so hard to control myself when I go into lush. As I don't have a store near me I tend to do a lot of my Lush shopping online but being in the store seeing all the actual products, well I get a bit excited and if you haven't already guessed, if something smells nice it is a winner in my books.

All the products are linked at the beginning of each description/ mini review so you can look up ingredients and see other reviews on the lush website.



Sweet Lips Lip Scrub: I actually wanted to pick up the Mint version of this but they didn't have it so I thought I would give this one a go! I have been using this for a couple days now, in the morning and evening. I have noticed a huge difference in the condition if my lips. I wouldn't say I have really dry lips but they do every now and then suffer from a bit of dryness. I am not so keen on the scent of this. Really smells like chocolate but a weird kind of chocolate. I will repurchase this but in the mint flavour instead!




Lemon Flutter Cuticle Butter: This is a new product for me so I haven't been using it long. This is basically help with any dry citicles, which I do suffer from. I also get a lot of dry skin just generally around my nails so will be using this to try and combat those! It also says that it can be used on any really dry bits of skin, so will also be trying this on any stubborn dry bits. This is a really thick cream and I used it this morning and you only need a tiny amount so this 50g pot will last ages I imagine. Like most other Lush products this smell amazing! I do love a citrus smell!




The Comforter: You cannot beat a good bubble bath! Again smells amazing (I think like Parma Violets) This makes loads of bubbles and I can get a lots of uses out of this. Well worth the money in my eyes.


Think Pink: Turns your bath a lovely pink colour. I tend to see bath bombs as a not so much value for money but I do love them when I want a little pamper night as they make your bath smell amazing and the oils help nourish and moisturise skin.



Tea Tree Toner Tab: These are great when my skin is playing up a bit. Although advertised as being best for teenage troubled skin I just love these to give my skin a really good clean, as the steam opens up your pores allowing the tee tree to work it's magic. Remember to keep the water as this can be used as a toner for up to a week after use! I love this as I am getting 2 products for the price of one!


These next couple bits are from a recent Online order (told you I have a problem!)




 Full of Grace: This is a solid serum. On one of my trips into Lush of of the lovely girls suggested this. I don't remember why I didn't buy it at the time but decided to buy it when I was having a nosey online. This serum is used to hydrate and moisturise the skin. Basically you rub it between your hands, which warms and melts the product then just apply to the skin. I did find this did moisturise but I didn't like the fact it just kind of sits on the skin (this is defiantly a night time product!) It left me feeling sticky and looking like a grease ball.

Dream Steam: I got this because at the time they didn't have any Tea Tree toner tabs. I have to say I didn't like this as much as the tea tree tabs but they were still really good. This tab actually contains more oils to help with your skin. It contains tea tree, rose, chamomile and lavender. Again this can be bottled up after use and used as a toner for the next week!




Marilyn: As I have said before, I bleach my hair. This hair mask is designed to take the brassy tones out of your hair. This it lives up to! I am not so keen on the scent. It is a bit odd but I love what this has done for my hair. I also found that it added a lot of shine and calmed the frizz down slightly. I am not someone who usually likes pre wash treatments. I just have it stuck in my head that I am just washing off any of the good stuff but that is just me.
tip: This contains chamomile so put it on and sit out in sun and it will lighten your hair. Little tip taken from the packet!

Catastrophe Cosmetic: I loved this mask, it left my skin feeling so fresh! Only thing I would say is with all lush face masks I tend to always leave a bit as they go off before I can use it all up and to me that is just wasting money which I don't like.


Snake Oil: I have a scalp condition which means when I get tired or stressed I get a really flaky scalp and sores (lovely!) It is also really sensitive to new hair products. I bought this to see if it might calm it. In all honesty I have no idea how to even use it! Its a solid form and I have got to get it onto my scalp some how?! any one know? A lot of the reviews I have read said it smells horrible but works. I have had a smell I don't think it is that bad. It's not the nicest but it is bearable!




All I can say if you have made it to the end of this WELL DONE!
sorry it has been so long!
