My Lush Collection

Hi guys! So I haven't been posting in a while due to my exams and sorting stuff out for uni, but I have finished them all now (thank goodness!) so I decided to create this little blog post about my current addiction of Lush... Now as you all know there has been a new store opened on Oxford Street in London, and this is so exciting as it is home to, I think 220 new products and is also such a huge store. I have not been in the store however, which kills me a little as I live a long way from London, I'm from Manchester and I go to uni in Preston! But I thought I'd share some products I generally really love which are available to buy from any store, and are not limited edition products!

Hair care:

So Lush released their new 'shampoo bars' earlier this year and I am loving them! They are such a good alternative to liquid shampoos as they have no packaging and are the equivalent to a 600ml bottle of shampoo... yep they last forever!

The 'Honey I Washed my Hair' shampoo bar has to be my favorite, it smells so delicious and the smell stays in your hair literally all day, and not to mention how it makes your hair feel, my hair has been feeling and smelling fine! The other lush shampoo bar 'Jumping Juniper' is a toned down smell, it hasn't really got a dominant smell but still keeps your hair feeling fresh and, you know, clean!

Lush also do Solid Shampoo, 'Trichomania' is the one I own and this is because I picked it up in store and could not resist! With the coconut extracts, this beauty keeps your hair nourished and feeling amazing! It may not be the most glorious looking but it certainly does the trick of maintaining clean and healthy hair, and I have honestly seen improvements with this Shampoo bar. My hair tends to get greasy after two days, meaning on the third day I wash it. I used to wash my hair every single day (I know, bad for the hair... and I am a hairdressers daughter!) but with this Lush shampoo, I tend not to wash it too often.

A Lush Conditioner, which is my all time fav, 'American Cream' came to me through an online Lush order.. the lovely people sent me some samples, and I immediately fell for this product! The smell is soooo nice that I could literally eat it- of course I wont, but honestly guys, this smell is delicious, you MUST smell! And I know every scent in Lush is divine but guys, trust me on this one, it is next level. This makes my hair so soft after Shampooing and the smell stays in my hair for so long, I love getting a whiff of it all the time!

Shaving:

I have only tried two shaving products, I am only aware of the two, which are 'Ambrosia' and 'D'fluff', let me tell you, they both aren't that great, I didn't know what to expect when I first bought them as they obviously do not foam or anything, but hey, I wanted to try something new, and i'm all for fighting animal testing, so I am going to be honest I don't quite like these products. The 'D'fluff' shaving soap was so hard to get along with, it just wouldn't lather on my skin making shaving uncomfortable, so this is an overall no for me, I gave the product to my friend however who absolutely loves it! And 'Ambrosia' is somewhat better than 'D'fluff', it is more suitable for my skin, it is a creamy substance and just makes my skin feel so much more smoother after shaving.

Face Products:

Fresh Farmacy, now this is a facial soap and it is so soothing on the skin. It is pink and keep my face as fresh as a daisy! I love this product as it has never broke me out.

Another facial soap I love is called Coalface, it is black and has some charcoal in it! It is great to cleanse oily skin with and it has kept my oiliness at bay! This product is always going to be in my Lush collection as it deserves to stay!

Facial Cleanser- Herbalism, this is the only facial cleanser I own and you mix it with water. It has a strange smell but I get along with it very well. My skin loves this stuff. Green is good remember!

Facial Scrub- Ocean Salt, this is my all time favorite. I love using this facial scrub because it truly unclogs my pores and keeps blackheads away! The smell is like a cocktail and is very refreshing!

Face Masks- Mask of Magnaminty, this is always my favorite mask and keeps my skin spot free, you can also use it on your body- which I have before when I had small spots on my back, it cleared them away in no time.

Brazened Honey, my second favorite mask! It brightens the skin and keeps the face fresh! My skin is so oily and because of this I do break out more than I should but Lush face masks prevent this.

Catastrophe cosmetic, this is designed especially for oily skin, with fresh garlic, it does stink- a lot! But keeps oil at bay and spots away!

Face Moisturizer- Enzymion, this is my favorite facial moisturiser and keeps my skin so soft and the smell of this is so good. It has enzymic fruits in it which helps tame the skin and keep it looking supple.

Shower Products:

Shower Jelly- Whoosh, now this is a strong smell and at first I didn't like it as much as Sweetie Pie, which is lovely and unfortunately has been discontinued! Whoosh's smell stays on you all day and keeps you fresh. This product has been in my collection for a very long time and will not be leaving any time soon!

Shower gel- Snow Fairy, this is a Christmas exclusive and it smells divine! I have the smallest bottle which was gifted to me last year and I have been using it sparingly. There's over half left as a little goes a long way!

And that is all for this post, thank you very much for giving it a read! Lush is a brand I am passionate about and truly love.
