Lush's New Retro Range - June 2013

I've been waiting with anticipation for Lush to release their new retro range, and they have not disappointed. It's been a while since they've released multiple bath bombs, so I'm eager to try them all. Some of these products have been on my 'want' list for a while now, and it's great that I can try them without paying over the odds to import them over.I know most of these products are firm favourites for many longtime Lush fans, but as a bit of...

Dr. Peppermint Solid Shampoo

I ordered this from the Lush site when I was compiling one of my crazy and expensive purges, and it wasn't until it arrived that I felt a little silly in doing so. I had initially placed it in my basket as it was part of their retro range, and I was unsure how much longer it would be available to buy. When it arrived, I was immediately put off by the smell - mint. Now you may be thinking - why would you buy a product that has mint in it's name when...

Karma Liquid Perfume

What does Lush have to say about this perfume? 'Retro yet ageless. Karma is a powerful, spicy and unique patchouli and citrus perfume. It's a strange slow-burner for some; you fall for it without realising what's happening. Others love it from the first sniff as they are transported to the age of freedom.'Karma has been at the top of the Lush charts since it was first launched, and it's not difficult to see why.  I am one of those fans...

Happy Happy Joy Joy Conditioning Hair Perfume

Unfortunately, Lush don't offer very many vegan conditioners, so when a new product comes out, I'm all over it like a rash. Although I swear by my Veganese, I'm always worried that my hair will one day become immune to it's powerful ways and the health of my hair will diverse somewhat. So when I noticed a bottle of conditioning hair perfume called Happy Happy Joy Joy, which stated that it was vegan friendly, I was super-excited to try it out. If...

Angel's Delight Soap

Angel's Delight is part of the Christmas range at Lush so it's only available for a couple of months of the year. So whilst I gush and drool over the brilliance of this product, hold steady in the knowledge that you will no doubt be able to get your greedy little mitts on this again in a few months time. Angel's Delight is a beautiful multi coloured soap, comprised of random blocks of colours, silver glitter, gold glitter, iridescent glitter...

9 to 5 Cleansing Lotion

Lush describe this cleansing lotion as a 'simple yet beautiful liquid facial cleanser for those times when you’re in a hurry and need to just cleanse and go.' And I couldn't agree more.I was first introduced to this little beauty purely by accident. Although I know that Lush are very keen to send you free samples with your orders, I have never requested any simply because it would just introduce me to new products that I would then have to go out...

Avobath Bomb

Aside from the Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb, Avobath was the other Lush product that I have been desperate to try for a while. Avocados have been my favourite food since as far back as I can remember, and green has been my favourite colour for even longer than that. This bath bomb has a very strong lemongrass-bergamot scent (with rosewood oil and gardenia extract, too) which gives it a sophisticated citrusy scent. It also contains real mashed up...

American Cream Lotion

I was lucky enough to grab myself a brand new 225g tub of the now discontinued American Cream Body Lotion a few months ago. One thing that always struck me as weird with the AC range, is that the conditioner of the same name has added ingredients that makes it not very vegan friendly. This is a shame as I adore the scent and would love to try other products with the scent.Unfortunately, the condition of my lotion was rather runny, and I didn't feel...

The sugar, sand and bicarbonate exfoliate and soften your skin, whilst the scent helps you to envisage those long over-due summer months.This was the first time I had tried one of Lush's...

Vanilla Dee-Lite Lotion

There are two types of cosmetic smells that I cannot stand; the smell of cocoa butter and the smell of vanilla. I couldn't tell you the number of times I have been given gift sets from family and friends, which contain some sort of lotion or shower gel with either of those two smells present. Each and every time, these lotions give off the plastic, sickly-sweet smell of synthetic ingredients, harvested from multiple chemicals having-been mixed together...

Strawberry Feels Forever Massage Bar

Before using this product, I’d never used a massage bar in my life, so I hadn’t the slightest idea how to use one. How could a seemingly rock-solid bar act as an effective moisturiser for my skin? I carried out a little research into massage bars and how they were supposed to work, and the science that Lush presented me with seemed to make complete sense. The massage bar was a concept created by a guy called Mark, who wanted to create products...
