LUSH Haul

My LUSH store lives in a land Far Far Away and I don't get to visit very often.  

This is my latest haul and I surprised myself by how little I actually picked up.  It might have something to do with the fact my Hay fever is in full swing because I usually linger and try just about everything on offer but I really couldn't smell a thing! 

I ended up with only four items and I forgot one!  Lemony Flutter  -  I have read some really good reviews about this cream, oh well next time!

Dirty Soap - This is always the first product I ask for when I walk into Lush.  When I first tried this soap as a sample I hated it but the aroma has grown on me.  I think the Dirty range is targeted at male customers but I just love the aroma of Spearmint and Sandalwood on my skin.  Leaves the bathroom smelling yummy too.  I usually purchase 200gm's of soap at a time and cut them into 50g blocks for ease of use, they last longer.


Dirty  ~  Sexy Peel

Sexy Peel - Marmalade Soap - contains Orange, Lemon, Lime and Grapefruit juices, oils and peel.  Has a lovely mild citrus aroma compared to Lush's Bohemian which is just pure lemon heaven.   Citrus is very good for reviving the senses and citrus essentials oils make you feel happy. A very good soap to use during long cold winters when you are longing for summer, as it lifts your spirits and leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean.  My son reckons this soap looks like cheese, I think he's right!

Sympathy for the Skin - This would have to be my favourite all over body lotion from Lush.  Looks and smells just like a creamy banana smoothie in a tub and once applied develops into a subtly warm sweet vanilla with just a hint of bananas.  A little goes a long way and I am surprised considering this is a light lotion, how rich and moisturising it is for dry skin.  Leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth and smelling delish!

Ro's Argan Body Conditioner - this is another product I first received as a sample and hated.   I still really don't like the smell straight from the tub but I just love what it does for my skin.  It has a very strong, overly sweet fermented aroma and I can make out the Rose, Geranium and Lemon essential oils.  Luckily for me once you rinse it off most of the smell goes too, what's left  is a pleasant floral citrus rose aroma which lasts most the day. Contains an abundance of rich moisturising ingredients such as Capuacu, Shea and Cocoa Butters as well as Argan, Almond and Brazil oils.  I would never have believed that a moisturiser you rinse off could actually leave your skin feeling as soft and hydrated as this one does.  

So that was my Lush haul, hopefully I won't forget the Lemony Flutter next time!!

Do you have any favourite Lush products that you think I would like, please leave a comment below and tell me what your favourites are.

  3. I adore looking at (and making) Lush hauls! I just finished a tub of Sympathy for the Skin. Currently loving Herbalism cleanser. I need to try those body conditioners, though. Oh, and I got my September Lip Factory box, five days after they sent it!!

  5. I love Ro's Argan Body Conditioner. I was skeptical at first but couldn't believe how lovely and soft my skin felt all day after my shower. I even skipped my usual moisturiser as I didn't need it! I'm loving Karma Body Moisturiser at the moment and I've been a big fan of Karma perfume for about 15 years now. Lush has some gorgeous products!

  6. It's definitely worth getting Lemony Flutter when you go back next. Amazing product! The bubble bars and bath ballistics are by far my favourite products though, and I'm so excited for the Christmas collection - looks so so good! :)

  13. I very rarely go to Lush, but they always manage to come up with some pretty cool random names for their products! I love the look of the body lotion, it reminds me of vanilla yogurt.

  18. I absolutely agree about the argan body conditioner! It smells so strong straight from the tub but it leaves such a nice smell on the skin afterwards! :)
    May have to suss out Sympathy for the Skin anything with a banana scent would have me sold!

  19. I am a sucker for anything Banana but this is a more natural banana aroma than the lolly banana, it smells subtle but delicious!
