More Reviews!

Hi,


Sorry I haven't been on in ages....... but I have some more reviews!


Snow Fairy (shower gel)

£3.25/100g
£5.95/250g
£9.95/500g http://www.lush.co.uk/products/shower/shower-gel/snow-fairy_240.html
I am so sad that this is a christmas limited edition!
Last year I never really took any notice of it.... and then throughout the year I read rave reviews on it, so I was so excited when I  got my first bottle this year.
I got the 250g bottle as I wasn't sure if i'd like it or not......


But how could you not like Snow Fairy?
Let's start with the smell:
It smells like sweets; bubblegum and candy-floss but a hint of fruitiness behind it- it's such an amazing smell.....you won't want to stop washing yourself with it just so you can keep smelling yourself :)


It lathers up really nicely....it's got quite a creamy lather which I like, but it is not drying at all, which I was afraid it would be as it's not as natural as other Lush products. But it didn't dry my skin out or make it itch at all. In fact.....it did the opposite! After using it a few times, I noticed that the eczema in between my fingers had totally gone. I thought that was weird, so I stopped using snow fairy to see if it was that- and the eczema came back. Now i'm using it again, and there is no eczema. How odd?!?


Oh and you can also use it as a soap for your hands........which I like to do because other Lush soaps dry my sin out. So it's multi functional. 


Overall I think it's quite good value for money....you don't need that much to work up a good lather.


Rating: 4 (and a half)/5 .....only knocking half a star off because the smell doesn't stay on your skin that well. But other than that I love this.


So if you want to get this.....hurry up before it's too late because it'll be gone before you know it!






Butterball (bath bomb)

£2.25/95g






What can I say about this bath bomb? Well......I can honestly say that this is the best thing my skin has ever seen.


I tried this first last christmas when it was in the form of 'Mr Butterball' (a snowman shape) but year round it is a normal bath ballistic shape.


Where shall I start?
Okay, from the minute you take it out the bag and put it in the water, the sweetest, musky, powdery beautiful smell evaporates through the room. 
And then you put your hands in the water and feel the silkiest, most beautiful smooth water and it sends you into a dreamland. Honestly, no joke, it actually feels like silk. Period. 
I'm really not joking.
I was apprehensive at first to try this as I thought it would irritate my annoyingly sensitive skin, but it didn't at all. If you have even the slightest dry skin, you should definitely try this. It will do you wonders.


And then when you get out of the bath and dry yourself, your skin is still soft. Not many bath bombs do that.
And then throughout the night you'll notice that you STILL smell like butterball! And even the next morning, the smell will still be there.


Oh and also........ that's all just from half a bomb! You only need half of it to give you that amazing skin- so if you think £2.25 is expensive for one bath, it's really only £1.12 (and a half pence- haha)...so in all that's really not bad value for money.


Overall, through all the products i've tried, this is a favourite of mine......no actually it is my favourite!
Rating: 5/5!!!!!! I can't fault this :)

Demos?!?

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering, would any of you like to see demo videos of any products?


If you think this is a good idea, just comment below and let me know!


There will be a review shortly of a shower gel that comes up top in the poll, and I might review the new one, 'Grass' as well. 

So how about it? Comment and let me know.....the more the merrier!

REVIEWS!!!!!!!

Hi all, 
I am sorry that i've said I will do reviews and haven't.....it's just that I was waiting to see what people wanted a review of from the poll! :D


.......I'm gonna review the product with the most votes, which are: 
-Mint Julips Lip Scrub
-Ceridwyn's couldron bath melt
-Dream Wash Shower Soap/smoothie   


So yeah......let review battle commence! 




Mint Julips Lip Scrub

£4.50 (25g)

http://www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1314&option=com_virtuemart&category_id=499

YOU. HAVE. TO. GET. THIS!!!!!!!

Seriously, no joke.

I was a little apprehensive of this at first....mainly because of the price. It seamed to me that £4.50 was a lot of money to pay for something that, when you think about it, only consists of sugar really. And I was dubious as to whether it would work.

I was wrong. So wrong. This made my lips feel SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO smooth! (and you can tell by the amount 'O's I used!).

What really surprised me with this is the little amount you need. I was expecting that this little jar would be used up in seconds but really, you literally only need a few grains for it to work it's magic on your sore, cracked lips. 

Yeah, okay, I admit that you look a bit stupid with sugar all over your lips......like you haven't wiped your mouth after eating something sugary, but the outcome way overrides that.....your lips will feel as smooth as a baby's bum.....(no joke!)

I think of this product like a kind of 'primer' for your kip gloss/balm (whatever you want to put on your lips afterwards).....it prepares your lips for them, so you don't get that 'cracked lips' under lipgloss look.....which makes you look like an idiot.

OH AND THE SMELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It smells JUST like after eight chocolates. It smells amazing.......so if you need a quick sugar fix get this one. It tasted nice on your lips too! (not that you're supposed to eat it).

So overall......I think i'd give it a 5/5.......although its a bit messy to have to scrub your lips and then sweep all the sugar off. But overall it is amazing. 

Ceridwyn's Cauldron Bath Melt

£3.95 (80g)

http://www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=21&category_id=549&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=80

This is a really nice one. The best thing I would say is the way it leaves your bath water.......it feels like silk!

The price is not bad for this one........in fact I think it's incredible value for money. Even though it seams pricey, you get one really nice bath, and then once it all melts, you are left with a bag of oats (well, oats wrapped in Muslin Cloth) which are really good to scrub your skin with. So once you use it up, DON'T THROW IT AWAY!!!!!!!!!! Because you can use it for 3/4 baths afterwards.....you can use the oats to scrub your skin, and also you still get the remaining scraps of bath melt in your water, so it's INCREDIBLe value for money if you think about it.


It smells like.......Lemon Curd. But in a nice way! It's kind of citrusy but a little bit creamy as well?!?!?! It's a hard smell to describe.

And also what I like about this melt is how pretty it looks.......look at how beautiful it is! It's got a little red tie and.....well, it's just a little bag full of goodness. I LOVE THIS......would definitely recommend it for a special treat, and a really relaxing bath. 

Rating: 4/5......I knock one point off because, although the water is nice and smooth, when you get out of the bath you're not that moisturised. But apart from that it is amazing!

Dreamwash Shower Smoothie/Soap

£8.60(250g)

http://www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=36&category_id=480&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=80


Okay.......i'm gonna be honest......I really didn't like this one at all. It's horrible.

Right.....So I am really madly in love with Dream Cream (there'll be a review on that later), and this is supposed to be like it's 'sister' product........so I thought i'd really like it. 

WRONG!

I got into the Shower.......and took a big dollop of it and started to wash myself with it. First of all, it has NO lather whatsoever (and I don't really mind that because it means that there isn't Sodium Laurel Sulphate (SLS) which isn't good for your skin)- so I don't mind that it had no lather, but if you're one of those people that loves a nice creamy lather, this product isn't for you. 

So the amount of lather didn't bother me.....no. What DID bother me though, was the fact that it stripped my skin of all it's natural oils. After using it, I couldn't rub my hands together because they had a, well......like a 'squeaky' feeling.....like if I rubbed my skin my hand would skid over it.........it really made the skin on my legs dry and made the skin on my hands really tight and horribly dry......which is weird because it's supposed to 'calm dry skin.'


And the smell.......it smells a lot like lavender, but in a kind of musky, damp way if you know what I mean......I don't really like the smell.

So sorry LUSH, I really don't like this one. I don't know what i'm going to do with it....i've got an entire pot of it that i'm not going to use.....i've got really sensitive skin from a childhood  with really severe eczema, so I dont want to aggravate it and make it dry. 

Maybe it's just me......but this really dried my skin. If it works for you- that's great! but it didn't work for me.

I'm giving this one a rating of 1/5.......it was terrible. Sorry LUSH.....I normally love you. But not this time. 

So......I hope you like my first reviews! Stay tuned for more.
