LUSH Madness: The Sequel

Wednesday, May 21, 2014


Okay y'all, you know I love me some LUSH products. I actually have been meaning to do this post for a while. I ended up returning a few products from my first haul and exchanging them for the above, and again had a wonderful experience in the store near my hometown.

This time I'm much happier with the products I picked up, and I can't wait to go back for more!

T for Toes is much more useful and practical than the foot mask I initially picked up - it's a fresh smelling powder to put in your socks/shoes and it really does work. I've always had a problem with my sneakers and flats getting a little stinky and so this has been a miracle for me. The only downside is if you're like me and you don't wear socks, it will stick to the bottom of your feet. So make sure you clear it out of your shoes before you put them on and then wipe down your feet before you go padding around anywhere.

The Jasmine & Henna Fluff-Eaze hairmask has been good so far. I don't see a gigantic difference in how poofy my hair is, but it does calm down the frizz. The best part is, the great, floral smell stays for a while, even after shampoo and everything. Every time I showered it seemed to re-ignite the smell, and I was really into that. It's 25 minutes on dry hair, then shower off. Easy peasy.

I also picked up Lovely Jubblies which is not pictured. It's a firming cream specifically made for your ta-tas, but I've been also using it on my thighs. Again, it smells amazeballs. It's one of those things that isn't gonna show immediate results, but I don't want my tits to sag later on, so whatever. Firm them babies up.

Bubblegum lip scrub is pretty boss - not only does it work great as a gentle exfoliant, but it also smells great and doesn't taste gross like my favourite Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Scrub does - cuz I mean, it's on your lips. You can't avoid licking your lips or getting some in your mouth. It happens. This lipscrub is actually totally safe for that, and it even says on the back that you can lick the rest off after you scrub. Nice and smooth lips, good aftertaste. What more could you want?

I decided not to pick up either Dream Cream or Dream Wash again - it doesn't make a huge difference with my itchy skin like I was promised, so I was a little disappointed. But I did get a sample of Charity Pot, which is another body lotion. It smells much better, and the proceeds also go to Lush's charitable efforts (read more here ). It's a good lotion, and for a good cause. Another win for Lush.

I decided to pick up 9 to 5 Facial Cleanser instead of Ultrabland, which I found left a weird residue on my face. And okay those thick balmy cleansers are supposed to be great. But I thought it was weird, so I was recommended 9 to 5 instead. 9 to 5 is more of a lotion, it's much thinner and easier to use and leaves my face feeling clean and naked. It smells nice, works fast, gets off all my lipstick and eyeliner, and I'm very pleased with the switch. I think it's definitely a rebuy.

King of Skin body butter is a game changer. It's a bodybutter unlike any other. I actually picked it up because I saw someone on twitter write that it left her skin "so soft it cried at the end of Armageddon", and if that's not a glowing review than I don't know what is. But seriously, this shit works. It's sort of a thick, moisturizing coat on your skin. So you take it in the shower, get it a bit wet, rub it all over (seriously, do it everywhere), and then you're left with smoothy smooth silky soft super touchable. I was seriously going around telling people to touch me. It was probably pretty creepy. Downside to King of Skin is, there isn't enough of it. It runs out too quickly. GIMME MOAR.

Dark Angels is seriously the most badass cleanser of all time. It's a charcoal based product, and charcoal is the new in beauty thing so of course I had to try it. It's kind of hard to use cuz it comes dry and you sort of have to scoop it out of the thing and then mix it with water yourself, but it goes on black and makes you feel like a jungle warrior. It's punk cleanser, that's what it is. It works great, but you do kind of have to scrub off the blackness. I'm enjoying it, but I will admit it's mostly for the novelty factor. It's not the most convenient thing in the world.

All in all, I'm still pretty satisfied with Lush's products, and I want to give a big thank you to the amazing help I got again, so shoutout to Victoria from Quakerbridge Mall!



Can't wait for the next major Lush haul!

  1. I'm working my way through a pot of Dark Angels right now, such a good cleanser I keep missing bits when washing it off and end up with a black stripe on the edge of my face, oops.

  2. I've been seriously wanting to try Lush for so long. Of course there isn't a store near me...maybe they sell at Ulta? But I've heard they're natural products, so I'm definitely interested! Thanks for the reviews!
