My Lush Collection - Intro and Skin Products

There is a new love in my life… LUSH! I got a couple of Lush products at Christmas but always assumed Lush was really expensive, something I could never afford. However, when my Snow Fairy shower gel started to run out (yes it lasted me this long!) I thought I might have a little peak at what else they had and…. BAM! I became completely obsessed. I got some products for my birthday at the start of the month and have continued to pick more up since, which my bank balance is not too happy about… The products are just so fantastic!

All Lush cosmetics are cruelty free and handmade; with a lot of their products being preservative free. I am lucky enough to have one very near to me J but if you don’t check out the website: lush.co.uk. I always look at reviews and stuff before buying items; I have even put together a sneaky wish list hehe. So most of these products I have been using for a couple of weeks so I thought I would share my reviews of them! I am splitting them up into categories in case people would like to just look at certain areas: face, hair, body, bath products.
I am going to try keep the reviews simple… Oh by the way these pictures I got off the internet, I could get nice pictures of mine, the weather is awful so the lighting was not good. However they are still the same thing!

Face

I will first just tell you a little about my skin; it is very oily! I used to have very bad acne and luckily it has mostly cleared up but I am still prone to breakouts. So these products are designed for oily skin and to keep spots at bay.

Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh Face Mask - £5.95 per 75g pot

This was the first face product I tried and I love it! The face mask are made from completely natural products which attracted me to them, therefore have to be kept in the fridge. They do only last a couple of weeks however… But if you are wanting to spoil your skin or kick it in to shape they are perfect. The catastrophe cosmetic is for spot prone skin but it really does help clear up inflammation and leave skin so beautifully smooth.

Dark Angels Cleanser - £6.25 per 100g pot

This is what I was recommended at Lush when I told them about my skin. Now like most people I was very scared by the black colour but I thought I would try it after reading lots of great reviews. And I am so glad I did! This really works for my skin, great for removing make up and oil from face. Due to the product being black it can be a bit of a messy product, but I think the outcome of smooth clear skin makes that worthwhile.

Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub - £6.95/100g

I was given a sample of this when I bought the dark angels cleaner. Let’s just say I purchased an actual tub of this yesterday! First of all, the sample (tiny little tub) lasted a week! And I used it every day! I love products that you can really get the most of. Yes, it is very rough on the skin, but my skin seems to like exfoliator’s more than ordinary soaps. This also smells very fresh and makes skin amazingly smooth; that is why I use this in the mornings. I would recommend this to anyone who has oily non-sensitive skin!
