LUSH - Favourite Products

Currently I have an obsession with LUSH products. They smell absolutely divine. I’m also a sucker for any bath product or facial. Lately I’ve been into a LUSH store once a month to hand over a huge chunk of cash for some delicious smelling goodies. In this post I’m going to go through my top three favourite products.

There is nothing I find more relaxing than a bubble bath and facial at the end of a long stressful day. I was overly excited to learn that LUSH does a bubble bath product. However this is no ordinary bubble bath. This amazing little product comes in the form of a bubble bar. All you have to do is break a piece off, crumble it up in your hand and then place the product under running water. You are then rewarded with a surprising amount of lush bubbles.
My favourite bubble bar has to be Karma. I think I’ve managed to buy about four of them in the span of two months I love the smell so much.
LUSH description for Karma Bubble Bar - Our signature fragrance for bath time: oranges and multi-layered spices. Karma is a fragrance that keeps on giving. Each time you catch a whiff of its many-layered fragrance, you notice yet another thread in its multi-stranded personality. Top notes, middle notes, base notes and all the notes inbetween disentangle themselves before you. Bathe in a fluffy Karma bath and you’ll generously perfume the whole house with its fragrance (and yourself, too).

To accompany my bubble bath of course I had to buy one of LUSH’s fresh face masks. I have to say the staff in LUSH are absolutely wonderful and extremely helpful when it comes to picking products that are best suited to you. Depending on the time of year my skin goes from dry to combination. At the moment it is combination which leaves me with an oily t-zone. On explaining this to one of the staff members I was recommended several of the fresh face masks best suited to my skin. I ended up picking The Sacred Truth and I’m very happy I did. I’m not overly fond of the smell of this product but it makes up for this with the way it makes my skin feel. I apply this mask and leave it on for roughly ten minutes. After this time it is slightly dry so I wet my hand and start rubbing in a circular motion all over my face. This fresh face mask has a slightly gritty texture to it so I use it to exfoliate as I remove it from my face. Once removed my face is left with a slight residue. I usually hate when products do this but The Sacred Truth leaves my face feeling smooth, soft and moisturized.
LUSH description for the Sacred Truth - The truth is, we all need protection from ageing. The vital antioxidant action of wheatgrass, ginseng and green tea combines with fresh papaya, cleansing clays and nutritious butters to defend the skin. This mask delivers live, fresh, active ingredients, which enhance and refresh the complexion. Apply to clean skin, avoid the eye area. Leave for five to ten minutes, and then rinse away with warm water. Keep chilled.

I love anything that has a citrus scent. I just can’t go past that clean crisp smell. So when I saw a YouTube review for the product Lemony Flutter I simply had to have it. Working in a heavily air-conditioned supermarket for long periods of time really dries out my hands. That is not an attractive trait if you do makeup artistry on the side. No one wants dry, cracked hands going near their face. So I heavily moisture. All the time. I find that a lot of hand creams will immediately make your hands look better but once you wash them they’re back to being dry and flaky. One thing about hand creams that I can’t stand is the ones that don’t absorb well. When I first tried Lemony Flutter I was a bit disappointed to find that my hands looked and felt really oily after applying. However after about ten minutes the product had completely absorbed into my hands. I also noticed that I didn’t need to apply the cream as often as I had been others because when I washed my hands they were still moisturised. I really do love this product and would recommend it for anyone who adores the scent of lemons or anyone who has really dry hands.    
LUSH description for Lemony Flutter - Softens hard skin all over the body, especially the cuticles. We made Lemony Flutter to soften your cuticles; it’s our thickest cream out there. It’s so good at softening your cuticles and nourishing your nails that LUSH customers have been using it to soften and nourish lots of other body parts like their feet, elbows and knees. Fortunately, it’s a very reasonably priced cream so you can afford to use it as widely as you wish. Take more care of your extremities and invest a small sum in a Lemony pot.
