Lush products to try

  Ok, it's another Lush post. What can I say... I am in love. I picked up a catalogue from the store today, and looking at the products is very enjoyable and painful (looking at the pricetags and then at my empty piggybank) at the same time. So I have compiled a list of products that I'd like to try at some point in the future.


Sea Vegetable Soap - £3.10
The huge slabs of soap in store are always very appealing, and this one smells amazing.

Ultrabalm - £8.75
This multipurpose balm is useful for everything really, and, while it may be a little overpriced, it could come in very useful. 

Let the Good Times Roll facial cleanser - £6.40
I saw this on Amelia Liana's channel, and it comes in a very cute pot, so this is just YAY. 

R&B hair moisturiser - £11.25
This is a very overpriced product, but then again I've never tried it, and it might be magical. I have heard lots of good things about it, though. 

Jungle solid conditioner - £3.35
This is to tame wild hair. My hair can get a little wild. The design on this is also very cute, and it would give me an excuse to buy a little tin for it.

Caca Marron - £8.50
I wouldn't want to buy this for a while, but I thought I would put it in because it looks very cool. It is henna hair dye, which dyes your hair, but leaves your hair in very good condition. Lush uses finest Persian henna, which explains the pricetag. 

Vintage knot-wrap - £4.25
These are just very cool. Enough said. 

Ok, sorry for the long post, but I wanted to get all my Lush feelings out. Hope you enjoyed it!
Byee! Love Lucy xx

Review | H'Suan Wen Hua hair mask

  I have always been a fan of Lush: their ethics, their products, but recently I have become somewhat obsessed. Whilst my history of Lush products is not very extensive, I am very keen to try more, and expand my repertoire. So, I decided to try out this hair mask. H'Suan Wen Hua - £9.50 claims to be from the god of hair, and although I'm not entirely sure about this, it certainly is not like anything I've seen before. 



  You apply it straight onto your dry hair, leave it for 20 minutes, then proceed to wash you hair as usual. One thing to say is do not apply this out of your bathroom, or anywhere with carpet/furniture that cannot be wiped down, because this literally goes EVERYWHERE. It is unbelievably messy. I expected it to be a mousse like texture, but instead it is very runny and sticky. 


   I cannot say I have seen huge improvements in the 'lustre and condition' of my hair, but that may be because immediately after washing my hair, I went and played rounders outside in light rain, so maybe that washed away a bit of lustre. 


  Another point about this is that it was not a cheap product. £9.50 is expensive, I bought this rather on impulse (I have had it for a while, and only got round to using it this morning). I have medium length hair, I used over half the tub, not even covering my whole head. People with long or thick hair would probably only get one use out of it. 

  So in conclusion, buy this if you want good quality, and good ethics (not sure about the smell though... bananas and olive oil make for a heady combination), but be aware what you're paying for and long haired people might want to go for a hair mask with a better price:use ratio. 

Byee!
