It's so Lush it is!

Hiya!  I hope everyone is easing into their week nicely.  It's pretty hectic at work here, but I really want to stick to my "blog every other day" goal, so here it is!  I wanted to write about a product which I'm very new to, but some of you may not be, which is Lush.  For awhile I thought this was only a UK brand, but low and behold, it's here in L.A.!!  For those of you unfamiliar, it's a really popular bath & body store that sells all handmade products.  They have anything from shampoos to bath bombs to face masks and everything smells DELICIOUS!

So this was the first product I used - The Stepping Stone foot scrub ($3.95), mainly because I had been walking around the Santa Monica promenade all day and needed a good foot rub.  It's very nice smelling (citrus-y!), but melts SUPER fast.  So lesson learned folks - with all Lush bombs, scrubs, exfoliators, etc. - cut them up into pieces before exposing them to water!!!  Or else they'll just melt away in a few seconds and there goes $5 wasted on a one-time use. 

Stepping Stone - mainly cocoa butter & lemongrass oil - smells so good!

I also picked up a couple massage bars - Each Peach (with cocoa, shea, avocado and mango butter) and Strawberry Feels Forever.  Each were a bit pricey ($9.95 each...) but when you buy 2 you get a free tin.  They are supposed to be multi-purpose bars as they will soothe sore muscles, moisturize your skin and also waken your senses.  So far I've used the Each Peach bar and I like it, although you MUST rub it in with your hands after you are done massaging it onto your skin.  It won't disolve or absorb like a regular moisturizer.

And of course, you can't go to Lush without buying some BATH BOMBS!  So I picked up 3 - Sex Bomb (apparently it's their most popular), Avobath, and Think Pink.  I've used Think Pink and it's SO cute because not only does it turn your bath water pink, but it leaves reminents of little pink hearts which look like flower petals!  So you will have a pretty bath and have incredibly smooth skin once you are finished.

This is what my bath looked like using Think Pink!

I promise I'm almost done!  The last product I used was the Sugar Babe Sugar Scrub which smells of flowers and honey and you use it as an exfoliator in the shower.  Obviously being made out of mostly sugar, it melts SUPER fast and unfortunaetly it irritated my skin sooo much.  Afterwards, my skin was dry and itchy for about 2 days, but it may just be my sensitive skin.  I don't know.  All I know is, I will not be re-purchasing.  Too bad  :(

Next time I go back, I really want to try out their face masks and shampoo bars (I know that sounds weird, so we'll see if it's worth the hype).  I hope this was of interest to you and please let me know what you've been loving at LUSH!!
