My LUSH Goodies!

 

Yayyy for Lush!! If you're a regular reader of my blog then you will know that I am kind of obsessed with all things Lush. So when I was given some lovely goodies from there of course I got excited and had to blog about it. The top 2 body creams are really soft, but I especially love 'Sympathy for the Skin' and will be making a seperate blog review on that in the future. The face masks in the middle are lovelllyyy! I tried the 'Brazened Honey' last night and it left my skin so soft and smooth that I skipped moisturiser.

I haven't tried the 'Celestial' moisturiser yet.. It is for sensitive skin so I may pass to my husband.

This is soo yummmy!!! You only need a tiny amount so I can see this lasting a very long time!

Hope you enjoyed this post. I will be uploading a video onto Youtube talking about each product. So until my next post, take care x

HAUL: Lush, Dorothy Perkins and Superdrug

The sales have already started on the British high streets and I thought I would have a little look. I didn't get much as I want to wait until after boxing day when the price will be lower. Anyway in Dorothy Perkins I purchased a leaf clip which I can wear in my hair or on my hijab/a jacket. I love Sleek products and have a Pout Polish in a berry colour. It is very moisturising and the colour can be built up. I purchased 'Pink Cadillac' to add to my collection and I love it.

Lush was close by so I popped in to grab some Herbalism. My sister has been using this recently and has commented how it has cleared her skin. (It's the green stuff) Unfortunately they didn't have any pots in store, however the lovely Lush assistant did provide me with a small sample to take away. She didn't just give me one, but two small pots- that was nice of her!! I will be sampling and providing a review after.

Until my next post, take care :)

Haul: Lush & Boots & a Quid Cardigan!!!

So this isn't my usual huge haul- the Lush Balls were a gift from my friend and I can't wait to try them out! I purchased the Carmex Strawberry as my Cherry one has run out and I wanted to try a different flavour, however I'm not so keen on the smell and taste. I much prefer the cherry!

I was so desperate to have the Cosmetic Warrior Face Mask I walked for ages in the cold (yes Lush that's how dedicated I am!) I have had a few breakouts in the past few days and as my cousin has raved about the warrior, of course I had to try it. I slapped it onto my face as soon as I got home (on a cleansed face). I will leave my review of this mask for another post!

On another note H&M has a good sale, I was very tempted to buy a cardigan for £1, yes £1!!!! But I resisted the urge, as in all seriousness I only wanted it because of the price.

Have you tried any of the Lush balls, what do you think of them?

My LUSH Stash

Just wanted to show you guys the LUSH products I have at the moment, although I have tried most of their soaps and a few moisturisers. Their facemasks are to die for, and there is one to suit every skin type/need.

I have done a review on the Eau Roma Water and hope to review the other products. Maybe a LUSH shopping trip is due??

What's your fav LUSH item?

Review: Lush Eau Roma Water Toner

I have been a fan of Lush products for a number of years now as I love their ethical values and the charity work that they do. They source their ingredients from companies that do not test on animals, and use little or no preservatives in their products. The attention paid into what goes in their beauty products is what makes Lush stand out from other companies.

I have tried various Lush goodies, including face masks, cleansers and body washes. Todays product I will be reviewing is the Eau Roma Water.

Info on the bottle "Tone your skin gently with rose and lavender water. Excellent on dry, older or sensitive skin. use on cotton wool to remove excess cleanser and to referesh the skin."

My skin goes through changes depending on the time and season, so this is great for calming my skin. In winter it helps to keep moisture locked in and also smells great! Compared to Lush Tea Tree Toner, this is much gentler and ideal for sensitive skin. The Tea Tree would suit more oily/spot- prone skin.

 Mini and big!

Lush do two bottle sizes- 100g priced at £3.75 and 250g priced at £7.00. This may seem expensive but when you look at the process to produce the rose water, it is well worth it.

Vegan friendly too!

What I like about Lush's rose water is that it also contains lavender water. This is an added 'super' ingredient, which acts as an antiseptic and calms skin. It also refreshes and tones the skin-great for someone like me who suffers from regular breakouts. I like to spray onto a cotton pad and wipe gently over my face after cleansing. It's also ideal for refreshing your skin during those long, hot Summer days.

I initially purchased the smaller bottle from their store, but found I ran out of it pretty quick. I then decided to buy the bigger bottle, which is much better! The 100g bottle is best used for travelling as it takes up less space in my beauty case, which means more room for Lush goodies!

 The small bottle fits well inside my mini travel bag!

I think the sell by date is around a year, but I could be wrong (the date is faded on the two bottles) However as I use twice a day, the 250g bottle lasts around 2 months. This is because I like to literally soak my cotton pad in the rose water and also spray onto my skin at the same time-yes I am greedy!

Conclusion

This is one product I can not live without, no other toner that I have used can compare. It's as natural as you can find and vegan. The smell is so soothing and calming, and really feels like it works without loading my skin with uneccesary parabens. The rose water does contains one paraben-methylparaben' but as Lush have stated they rarely use parabens unless necessary, and even then it is limited.

I have tried numerous Lush products, which I will also be reviewing, but this is by far the best.  
Well done Lush!
