Karma Kream Body Lotion

Why, oh why, oh why, have I only just discovered this lotion? I feel as if I have been missing out for far too long!It was purely by accident that I first got hold of a tub of Karma Kream. I had won a huge amount of Lush stuff on eBay, and one such listing had come with a 225g pot, which was part of a set. It wasn't until I opened it up and gave it a sniff, that my brain put two and two together, and I realised that Karma Kream possessed the same...

Snowcake Liquid Perfume

When I first began buying Lush stuff, I vowed never to buy any of their perfumes. Even though they're not expensive for what they are, and they are much better quality than a lot of high street perfumes that get watered down and filled with synthetic ingredients, I still didn't want to even breach that aspect of Lush's rostrum. Lush stuff, although not ridiculously priced, is still a luxury item that a lot of people cannot afford. I'm lucky...

Porridge Soap

I received a Lush gift set a couple of years ago, and after excitedly ripping away the packaging, I was greeted with a lump of what can only be described as camel-brown coloured mud. It didn't strike me as something I would be overly keen on. However, I was instantly converted from the very first sniff. I read somewhere once where someone had described the scent of Porridge as 'a vanilla caramel concoction, dripping with maple syrup & treacle.'...

Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub

This product is a staple in my house, with both myself and three of my flatmates all having big jars of the stuff on the go at any one time. It's definitely a product that you either love or hate, and luckily I'm a proud member of the former group.  Rub Rub Rub is packed full of mineral-rich sea salt and organic lemon juice, that both exfoliates the skin and cleanses the pores, leaving your skin feeling super soft and shiny. It's fragrance...

Badass Shower Gel

Rarely am I disappointed by a Lush product, and rarely do I disagree with their choice of name. However, there is always a first, and this is the case with their 'Badass Gel'. Admittedly, I am not a huge fan of the ginger scent, so perhaps I'm going a little overboard with the negativity here, when maybe it comes down to my simple dislike of the smell. However, I really feel this product does not live up to it's 'badass' name tag, and in fact,...

Shave The Planet Shaving Cream

What Lush say about Shave the Planet: 'Scritch, scratch, scrape; every morning we attack our skin with sharp bits of metal – no wonder it gets red and sore! Most standard shaving creams might help your razor move more smoothly but do nothing to protect your poor skin from the traumas of the daily shave. Luckily, the Lush inventors have come up with some beautiful shaving creams that work in a different way; protecting against the scratchiness, softening...

Oatfix Fresh Face Mask

Working 12+ hours a day, really takes it out on me, and the one aspect that I notice more than any other, is the quality of my skin. Those 6am starts, with the quick showers and long commutes to work, really takes it out on my face, and it's not long before I'm looking pale and weathered, with big bags under my eyes and dry skin spots all over. If it wasn't for my Lush face masks, I think I might have had to opt for plastic surgery by this stage! That's...

Karma Bubble Bar

Lush claim that 'a Karma bath is like a trip to a festival in a VW Camper Van; it will last all day and is full of smells, daydreams and anticipation of excitement to come.' For someone who's never tried this before, this may seem like an odd way to describe a bubble bar. However, for avid fans such as myself, this is perfectly worded. It does not disappoint. The Karma scent is probably my favourite Lush scent alongside The Comforter. It wasn't...

Snow Cake Soap

I have never been a fan soaps before I began collecting Lush products. The word has always held horrible connotations for me; colourless lumps of synthetic smelling product that dry the skin and leave you smelling like a toilet. This dislike for the stuff probably started when I was in school and made to go and wash my hands, only to be faced with a discoloured looking block of soap that probably harvested more germs and dirt than the whole class...
