My Top Ten Lush Products

Without further adieu, here we go...

10.   Angels on Bare Skin

Described as a medieval cleansing wash with rose and lavender.  This feels like something you could easily make yourself. Ground almonds, honey, olive oil. But the "mehh" attitude in me makes me too lazy. It is lovely. My face feels like a baby's bottom after I wash with it.

9.   Celebrate Lip Tint

A late entry onto the top ten list. This puppy only came out last week in the holiday collection. It's suppose to taste of pink champagne: cognac, lemon and grapefruit. Then there's the golden lustre popping candy on the top. I do love the pinky shimmer though.

I'm a sucker for anything nude/frosty on the lip. This is my favourite festive lip product and a must in my hand bag at the moment.

8.    Ultrabalm 

A natural moisturising balm made with plant waxes: candelilla wax and jojoba oil. Rose wax soothes irritations. 

Great for chapped lips, dry nose from colds. This is a stable on my coffee table. Love it.

7.  Big

Big hair is making a comeback. I tease the crap out of my hair. I still use my straighteners to smooth the kinks, but goodbye iron-flat and stick-to-my-head roots. 

Big Shampoo is a big old pile of rock salt you wash out. A seaweed infusion to soften and fresh lime juice for shine. Great for volume and massaged into my roots. This would be further up my list if I was blonde, but I'm sure it'll make a comeback shortly.

6,  Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter

Softens cuticles. A thick cream for nourishing your nails. Heaven in a pottle. Say no more. This is a must.

5.   Yummy, Yummy, Yummy Shower Cream

All hail the best shower cleanser AND its now discontinued. (Sob sob) Let's unite and bring this back on the Retro List. Strawberry Creamy deliciousness. 

Did you know that..

Strawberries are considered one of the world's healthiest foods? They are a natural source of minerals, folic acid, omega3 fatty acids and powerful antioxidants. They contain a higher concentration of vitamin C, per weight, than oranges.

I can't talk about it anymore, it makes me too upset.

4,  The Olive Branch Shower Gel

Wraps you in its arms and keep you safe. Oh  who needs a man when you have this bad boy? It smells sweet but masculine.

"The Olive Branch has a welcoming, Mediterranean warmth to it, has fairly traded olive oil, an infusion of vine leaves, mineralising sea salt and the fresh juice of mandarins"  -  Lush.

3.  Grass Shower Gel

A deep scent of freshly mown lawns. It takes me back to my Flower Market soap days .

This concoction has wheat grass juice and citrus oils. Summer in a bottle. Not for the faint hearted, it smells like your lawn mower blades, but I love it.

2,  Dorothy  Bubble Bar

Ylang-ylang and sweet figs. Soothing and harmonious. This is beautiful. What else can I say?  It even has bubbles.

and my number one favourite Lush item is.....

1.  Twilight !   Bath Ballistic

Lavender. It's a common fragrance on my list. I love this, (not just because of the name) for its calming, relaxing fragrances. Perfect for  bathing at twilight. 

And lastly, honourable mentions....

- Vanilla Dee-Lite Body Moisturiser- thought I'd get sick of the sickly, sweet honey smell, but no. It's still going strong like my current addiction to Chai Lattes.

-  Ghost and Twilight Shower Gels. Just came out this week, but already a favourite. I'll keep you posted....
