Lush Cosmetics Favourites

Going into a lush store for the first time can be very overwhelming as there are so many products on display that look and smell wonderful. Trying out new products can be hard too as you don't know which ones are good and what to go for next. Most people love lush's bath bombs but I wanted to talk about a few other products that are not necessarily just for bath time. 

Sultana of Soap (sitting on top of ocean salt in the image above).  This soap smells very fresh and slightly citrus (clearly I'm not very good at describing scents). One problem with it is that it doesn't lather up, but I think that's what makes this soap so moisturising. After I use this soap my skin feels so smooth and soft, which is down to the ingredients like rapeseed oil and coconut oil. There may be some fallout due to the dried apricots, currants and cranberries in the soap but not a lot. 

Porridge soap (placed above the body butter on the table in the image above). Ingredients such as rapeseed oil and coconut oil make this soap very moisturising, the pinhead oatmeal in it exfoliates your skin. Once you try to wash away the soap it becomes a milky liquid on your skin and washes away really quick. Once again, like sultana of soap, this one doesn't lather up too. 

Aqua Mirabilis (body butter placed on the table in the image above). These come in little square bars which you can cut up and use (like other lush soaps, bath bombs, etc). This body butter is supposed to be used in the shower and it contains small granules of ground almond shells (the almonds make it smell very nice and nutty), which help buff away any dead skin. Once you finish exfoliating your skin you can rinse it off and your skin will be left feeling silky smooth.

Ocean salt face and body scrub. This scrub is a very rough and I wouldn't recommend it to be used on the face especially if you have sensitive or dry skin. Ingredients include lime and vodka not to mention all that salt which will dry out your face. However there is an alcohol free option too. On the body it is an awesome product for places like your elbows and the back of your arms. 

Lush also does great fresh face masks, these don't last more than about a week and needs to be stored in the refrigerator.
