A NEW LOVE FOR LUSH

I have always loved Lush but like most of the Lush lovers out there I rarely ventured outside of the fizzy, sparkly, bubbly bombs and bars. This all changed thanks to a cracking Christmas event at their Sheffield store.

Not only were we able to try out all different products we got a cracking goodie bag to take home and test! 

Out of these goodies I found a few products I will be keeping in my life and some I have discovered recently which I'm really impressed with - I've also linked them because I love watching the little Lush videos on the website...its strangely pleasing, like the M&S chocolate pud advert!

Cup O' Coffee Face and Body Mask - I'm not the biggest fan of Coffee - the smell or the taste - but I love a good coffee scrub. The benefits of coffee scrubs are temporary minimization of cellulite, reduced swelling and inflamation and exfoliation...who doesn't want all that. I found this really similar to the popular FRANK coffee scrub but just a lot less messy to apply and half the price! My skin seemed really smooth and supple and the feeling last for a fair few days. The only downside is that a small 150g tub gets used up quick if you use on your body - after one used of slathering over me I've used up nearly the whole tub.

Big Sea Salt Shampoo - Another product I picked up from the last Lush event. This came on recommendation from the manager and as I was having a "YOLO" kind of moment decided to give it a try. Big contains gritty bits of salt which feel great when massaged into your scalf and the shampoo itself lathers really easily. A small scoop with your fingers is more than enough to lather into most hair types. It is a little messy getting it onto your hair in the first place but this is probably expected. 

I haven't noticed a MASSIVE difference in volume but my hair does feel more bouncy than usual. My hair is pretty limp sometimes so this could be different for other peoples hair.

D'Fluff Shaving Soap - I'm not a big fan of shaving foam so when I whip out the razor I usually pair it with hair conditioner - I use one of the big bottles of Tresemme just in case you are curious - I just find that it makes my skin softer! But as I've started being a little more adventurous with Lush's other products I decided to try a shaving cream substitute and what better than a cream that smells like strawberries and contains cocoa butter. The shaving soap scoops out like a face mask and then lathers into a soapy cream and not only leaves your skin feeling soft it smells good enough to eat!

I'm loving Lush at the minute! What are your favourite products?
