Fluffy Egg Bath Bomb

We all know that Lush are a kind and caring company. They support the eradication of animal testing; they do everything in their power to be more ecologically friendly; and their staff always provide the friendliest and most helpful retail experience on the high street. And to top it all off, they know the types of products that both Lushies and 'normal people' (haha!)  go crazy over. Which is probably part of the reason why they have released...

June 2013 Lush Inventory - Soaps

Right, onto the soaps. For some reason, I have managed to collect a LOT of soaps, which probably isn't surprising to most when you see my collection as a whole. However, it is a little odd as I very rarely use soaps; I would much rather use a shower gel or jelly. My soap collection has mounted up considerably this year, so I will be doing a competition very soon for one lucky person to win a large set of different soaps. Keep your eyes (sexy)...

June 2013 Inventory - Hair Products

This is post number three of my Lush inventory, detailing what Lush products I currently own. As you'll see from this post, my haircare range is probably the smallest section of my collection. I have a real dedication towards my Cynthia Silvia Stout and Big shampoos, and my Veganese conditioner, so it is not very often that I'm willing to try a new product. For this reason, I keep my haircare range to a minimum, and tend to only use new products...

Big Solid Conditioner

On paper, this conditioner sounds like a Godsend; Sea salt, seaweed infusion, coconut oil, jojoba, and lemon and lime juice to condition and shine; Jasmine, tonka, orris, vetivert and vanilla to smell beautiful all day. However, in reality this conditioner was a let down.As I've said in previous posts, I've always been a bit hesitant to use Lush's solid shampoos and conditioners, as I've never been fully convinced that a rock-solid block...

Dream Cream Lotion

I was surprised to learn that Dream Cream is Lush's biggest selling product, but it's not difficult to understand once you find out why. For years, Lush have received endless letters detailing the agonies and worries of consumers who had eczema and other skin irritations, and found shopping for lotions and skin care products almost impossible. Lush came up with a definitive cream that was to solve all of that cement itself as their biggest selling...

Big Shampoo

I initially got a tub of this from my dad and his wife last Christmas. I gave him a list of Lush items I wanted to try but couldn't afford, and this is one of the items he chose to purchase. As I had recently discovered Cynthia Sylvia Stout, I was hesitant to try anything else and popped it on my shelf of things to 'try at a later date'. After multiple disastrous experiences with solid shampoos and conditioners, I remembered that I had a tub...

Merry Xmas Massage Bar

I bought this massage bar from eBay after I noticed someone was selling a pack of two for only £5. Given that they were being sold on the Lush site for that much individually, I felt I had to snap up a bargain while I still could. If I'm going to be honest, this was the first time I had used a massage bar, so I was unsure what to expect. With essential oils of sweet orange, cinnamon leaf and clove bud, this is a warming and very festive...

The Joy of Jelly Shower Jelly

Rumours have been circulating for a while that Lush plan to phase out all of their shower gels, and only offer jelly alternatives instead. On the outset I really support this idea; it would mean less ingredients needed to preserve the smells and consistency of shower gel; it would also mean products could be sold in completely recyclable containers. The only downfall I see is that the shower jellies do not seem to last as long as their gel counterparts,...

Angels On Bare Skin Facial Cleanser

Since discovering Lush, I have found I have become reliant on cleansers as part of my daily routine. Working twelve hour days as a Year 6 teacher completely takes it out on me, and I find that my skin is the first thing to suffer. The first cleanser I ever used was Buche De Noel, which still stands as my all time favourite cleanser, followed closely by Let The Good Times Roll. Given that they're both seasonal products, one of which may never...

The Kiss Lip Balm

I cannot help but get excited when Lush release a new lip balm, especially one that is vegan. This year for Valentine's Day, Lush released the aptly named 'The Kiss' - the first vegan lip gloss free from all of those nasty preservatives. Using a clever aerating technique on luxurious shea and cupuacu butters, Lush was able to create a light balm intended to moisturise and protect the lips, as well as giving them a subtle pink glossy sheen. This...
