Lush Review: Part 1

Dear all,

I am currently in the midst of editing my haul video. Did some crying today, so my eyes are quite hurting from all the staring at the screen. Anyway, here's a written review on some of the things I got from Lush :) Kudos to the person who brought them back all the way from USA for me.


These are called "Dragon's Egg" Bath Bombs. I happened to get 2 of them (costs USD$ 4.95 each). One of them got crushed in the process of "transporting them over". But, in actual fact, since I don't have a tub, I was planning to crush them anyway. But one of these bath bombs got salvaged. :) If you wanna see how these things look in real life, do check out my haul. Once it's uploaded, I will post a copy here as well! The smell is AMAZING! I totally adore the citrus-y smell that it emits. I took pieces of it and put them in a tiny pail of water. It turned the water soapy, milky and smelling like a farm of oranges and lemons and pineapples. Beautiful smell. I sorta used the water as very liquified soap. It was amazing. I love the milky feeling it had on my skin. But I made a bit too much, so I saved some for my mum to use! :) Hope she enjoyed it as much as I did! 




The 2nd bath bomb I got is the "Twilight" Bath Bomb (I got 2, and each costs USD$ 4.95). I have yet to use this, but apparently, it would turn the water a dark pink with a mixture of blue, and the end product, dark purple colored water! :) The smell is more lavender-ish. Very nice smell. However, both bombs got crushed in the process of "transportation". :( But I got to see the inside of the bomb. There is a smaller circle inside that is blue in color. The outside is a light purple shade. Very sweet colors. Smells like a mixture of Lavender and Lime. I would have to try it out before I actually give it a verdict, but apparently, if you're tired, you should use this because it's supposed to help you sleep. 



I also got 2 of these. These are called "Seanik" Shampoo Bar (costs USD$ 9.95 each, and buy one free one Shampoo Bar Tin cost USD$ 3.95 each). This is AMAZING beyond words. First of all, the color is awesome! For those of you who don't know, I LOVE BLUE! So this really made me smile! :) It doesn't really emit a very strong smell, but it does smell like the ocean. It's made of sea salt, and seaweed. I'm currently using one bar. It makes my hair smell like I just got out from the ocean! I totally love the after-effect. To be honest, it's not the prettiest thing to look at. It actually looks quite disgusting because of the odd pieces of seaweed. And when you wet it, it makes it look even more disgusting because you get these blue foams, and then you get soft oozing dark green seaweed on your hands. But after that, WOW! The smell is amazing, and it does make my hair feel like I just got out of the ocean :) Amazing stuff! I really pray for Lush to one day, open a flag store in KL. <3 


The next thing I have for my hair, is the "Veganese" Conditioner. Only got one bottle (costs USD$ 26.95). This is a very very light conditioner. Unlike those from Pantene and all, they feel super heavy. I like that it smells a LOT like lemonade. The smell is more than enough to make me faint to the floor. I really adore the intense lemon smell that this product emits. It really works very well with my Seanik Shampoo. I've used this twice now, and the effect is amazing. Very well-produced and the best part? This entire product is VEGETARIAN (not that I'm a vegan!). So if you're some vegan who doesn't believe in using non-vegan products, this is the one for you. :) 


The next product I got is this "9 to 5" Facial Cleansing Lotion (costs USD$ 17.95 each) and I got one bottle.  So this is (as per the picture) made of almonds and orchid oil. It doesn't smell of either. Kinda smells a bit like the kiddie sunblock. But I was quite astonished. The product doesn't lather at all. So I presumed that it was just like a moisturizer? Yet, it says "cleansing". I was quite curious, so I googled "Cleansing Lotion". Apparently, you can just apply it, wait for 5-10 minutes, then do one of two things. One, wipe of the lotion using a wet cotton pad, or two, wash it off. So I did just that. My face feels a teeny bit moisturized after using this. Again, I've only used it twice, so I'm really not sure of the results just yet. But this is supposed to be good for "after make-up" :) Good for me as I have been using make-up quite recently! 


Moving onto body products, I got a tub of "Rub Rub Rub" Shower Scrub (costs USD$ 17.95 each). This smells a bit like the Seanik Shampoo. Smells of the ocean, but feels totally like salt! What I did was during my shower, I took a small scoop and rubbed it all over me. As ticklish as it feels, after washing it off, my skin actually felt so smooth like you would never believe! This is one product that I'm really very happy about. The smell is just totally amazing, and the feeling of the product is just WOW! I would definitely recommend this to my friends who have yet to feel or touch anything from Lush. This feels so natural. Loving it! 



I have yet to actually use this. This is called "The Joy of Jelly" Shower Jelly (costs USD$ 10.95 each). The description of this, is that it's supposed to be a joyful, sensual jelly for lovers. Supposed to be used on your partner and vice versa. LOL! But to be honest, I bought it because...... IT'S PURPLE! Hahaha! The other ones were blue and black. It's not that I don't like blue and black, but I don't really like black cherries and the blue one? I already had the blue scrub. So I got this in PURPLE! :D The color is so pretty and the smell, it kinda smells like blueberries, but it's not stated in the label. In fact, it's supposedly to be heavily concentrated with seaweed, jasmine and rose. Once again, since I have yet to use it, I can't review it, but I am amazed by the jelly-like substance and am looking forward to using it. 

I know that this post is relatively long, but I am not done yet. Please be patient for Part 2. Look out for "Dream Cream" Body Lotion, "Wiccy Magic Muscles" Massage Bar, and "Shimmy Shimmy" Sparkle Bar. Coming up all in Lush Review Part 2! 

Love, Sheryl1986 <3
