LUSH cosmetics!

I am absolutely in love with the company lush and how could I not be. The products are cruelty free. The products are all vegetarian with a lot being vegan. They are amazing quality. Lush works to make sure they are fair trade. They campaign for equality and animals. I mean seriously how could you not love them. I own lots of lush goodies and I am going to share them all with you!

Bubblegum Lip Scrub            

This lip scrub is amazing for smoothing out the lips before applying lip balm, especially in the winter months (or in the UK all year round) as our lips get all chapped and flaky. It contains only 4 ingredients.
Caster sugar, Organic jojoba oil and Flavours Colour 45410 and Colour 45380.
The ingredients is what makes this product. The caster sugar means you are able to eat it after, it is so hard not to like your lips straight away.The Jojoba oil is used as a replacement to the oil that we get from whales. Woo for lush's ethics! Its amazing for softening things like hair cuticles and of course lips. And the colours simply do what it says on the tin, adds this beautiful and uplifting pink colour to the product.

This product is 100% suitable for vegans and the pot is made of glass so when you finish the product you can reuse it which is great.

This product retails on the lush website for £5.50

Skindrink Facial Moisturiser

This moisturiser is great if you experience drying skin. I experience this a lot around my nose and forehead. With the rest of my face being combination. It leaves your face feeling smoother, less bumpy and rigid. It doesn't leave you feeling greasy after applying it even though it leaves a protective barrier to help the skin in hot or windy conditions and keep it from drying. So its definitely a moisturiser which will provide you with a good results whether it be after prolonged use and after even one use.

It contains 22 ingredients all of which are natural ingredients or safe synthetics and a lot of ingredients that occur naturally in essential oils. You can find the full list of ingredients and what they do on the LUSH website. But here is the main one :
Organic sesame oil, this ingredient is the part of the product which provides the  rehydration for the skin, it contains vitamin E and is made up of fatty acids.

This product contains lots of natural fat based ingredients which nourish and rehydrate the skin. The packaging can be recycled at a local lush store and reused and is also suitable for vegans. Awesome.

The product retails on the website for £11.95

Breath of Fresh Air Toner Water 

Toners can be used to end your skin care routine before applying moisture to help wipe away any of the dirt left on the skin and help balance the skins natural pH levels as well as leaving it felling refreshed and clean and this one certainly leaves it feeling fresh, with the scent of the sea it produces mixed with the refreshing cool mist it produces.

I use this product by spritzing it on my face and either using clean hands or a cotton pad I wipe away any dirt and settle the product on to my skin.

It contains 12 ingredients which again can all be found on the LUSH website with what it does. But here are some of the best ones:
Fresh Sea Water contains lots of minerals as well as lots of dissolved natural elements like oxygen, magnesium, nitrogen and of course sodium chloride (salt) the minerals in the sea water is what balances the pH of the skin and also keeps it from looking tired and dry.
Organic Fair Trade Aloe Vera Gel, we have all experienced sun burn at one time or another and that is when our mother brings out the aloe gel and it cool sensation soothes the burn and this is exactly what it does in this product.
Seaweed Absolute has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. It contains vitamins A, C and E which adds further nutrients to the body.

This product is great for the sunny months as well as the cold ones. It does your skin a favour and feels amazing in the skin.This is also suitable for vegans and the bottle is recyclable.

A 100g bottle costs £3.95 on the LUSH website.

Happy Hippy Shower Gel

This shower gel smells absolutely phenomenal. Its zesty smell makes it perfect for waking up in the morning but its also perfect for calming the senses before bed, and as I like to think of myself as a bit of a Modern Age Hippy then this is just perfect.

I think these gels are perfect for keeping in your overnight bag or when you want to go travelling. I keep it in my overnight bag as I can use it as both a body wash as well as a hair treatment saving so much room. It lathers so nicely in the hair and I always get compliments on the smell of my hair when I use it, it's crazy.
Another shower gel of lush's I recommend is 'The Olive Branch' very good for nourishing the hair and body.

It contains 14 ingredients one of which is Fresh Pink Grapefruit Juice. This juice is acidic with antibacterial properties making it perfect for people with acne and oily skin. The smell is also used in aromatherapy to refresh us as it is said to remind us of the suns energy, so basically good smell to wake us up in the morning (but I also find it soothing).
Another ingredient is Frankincense Oil this contains products which cause it to ease breathing, be antiseptic and astringent. It produces a sort of protective film over the skin evening out fine lines and softening the skin.

This product is also 100% vegan and the bottle is 100% recycled and you are able to recycle it at your local lush store.YAY environment!

This product retails for £3.50 for a 100g bottle on the lush website.

No Drought Dry Shampoo

This is, with no doubt, one of my absolute favourite LUSH products. It leaves my hair feeling refreshed, smelling amazing, voluminous and all with no white marks and very little build up. As well as all this it seems to last forever. This product is truly amazing.

It doesn't come in a spray can like most which are not only bag for the environment, but they are so concentrated they leave my hair white and slightly damp and it wears of very fast leaving lots of build up. This is the best one I have ever come across.

It contains 10 simple ingredients. One of which is cornflower, this is the product which absorbs all of the oils in the hair, simple and effective. Another ingredient used is Lime Oil, this is what gives the product it's incredible scent. I love zesty aromas! As limes are also astringent it make the hair look shinier by actually making the hair shinier. It helps to boost circulation which it can help with flakiness of the scalp. It also contains vitamin C protecting the skin against harsh environments.

Need I say more! This product is amazing. Vegan and again the bottle is recycled and it can be recycled at a LUSH store!

A 50g bottle (which lasts forever might I add again) retails for £3.75 on the online store.
