“You’re a
touch overrated, you’re a lush and I hate it.” Taking Back Sundays.
Pay no attention to this band’s swill, did
anyone really ever listen to them anyway? We are talking about LUSH Cosmetics
and yes they’re absolutely luscious and we love them! If you don’t know about
LUSH, allow me to introduce you to your new favorite brand.
I love LUSH because their beauty and cosmetic products are all made by
hand using fresh organic fruit, veggies, essential oils, and herbs. They do
not animal test or purchase ingredients from those who do and use very little
if any preservatives. Their containers even have a little sticker with a
picture of the person mixing your product. I know right! These guys are great!
The best part for me is, unlike other stores that use chemical fragrances and give you a migrane whenever you walk past, LUSH is all organic. Their product packaging and message is bold, sexy, and fun! Makes sense
that this would be my favorite brand. ;)
Just a side note here, I’m purely sharing
because I like LUSH cosmetics. I don’t work for LUSH or make any commission if
you decide to go to the LUSH site. I honestly just love LUSH and wished I had
found this sooner so I thought I’d share…Your welcome. :)
After
browsing the site, I finally made my selection:
Fairly Traded Honey Shampoo &
Ocean Salt
Face and Body Scrub.
Here they are, the happy couple!
Their Honey Shampoo gives you all the wonderfully luxurious benefits of honey but without the stickiness or overly sweet smell. The scent is rich and herbal and left my course curly hair shiny and soft the next morning! This one is definitely going on re-order status. Oh, yes, they have an option in their shopping cart to add items for reorder in 3month and year increments so when you get low, you’ll automatically receive your new item. LUSH.
The second item I snagged is the Ocean Salt face and body scrub--a much needed upgrade from my usual
mix-it-yourself-with-applecider vinegar-aztec -mud-clay-mess. This salt scrub
delivered the goods! It’s a smooth scrub that’s not too grainy or rough and has a light refreshing scent. In my experience, many scrubs scrape my skin or just have ‘micro-beads’
that don’t do shit. I’m so glad to have a real scrub in my beauty arsenal.
I also highly recommend visiting their store in
person because it’s the only place to buy their homemade, mixed in-store,
facial masks. They won’t ship these out,
since they must be refrigerated. The ginger mask is my favorite.
Another reason I buy
quality products…
For those of you who make your own homemade
products for fun or even if you’re a pro, take the day off and try out LUSH. I
used to pride myself in making my own handmade products, but after awhile,
making your own products becomes laborious, time consuming, and I never could
get the mixture to smell right and the packaging was, well, homemade jars and
bottles. After awhile, I stopped making
them at all and just kept a bag of sugar under my bathroom sink for my scrubs.
What a mess! I learned the hard way—if you want a handmade quality product you
don’t have to stock an apothecary in your house. Honestly, just buy it! Whether
from LUSH or another organic and homemade source, you deserve it.
Do tell…
