TRIED&TESTED: LUSH DARK ANGELS CLEANSER

Yes!i have become a Lush Fanatic!yet another Lush product review!its the Dark Angels cleanser.

What Lush says: This is our soft black sugar scrub that feels oh-so-good when you rub it in and leaves your skin glowing. The velvety texture is sprinkled with black sugar and powdered charcoal to gently exfoliate and cleanse away excess oils. We add rhassoul mud and vitamin-rich cold pressed organic avocado oil to soften, moisturize and nourish skin, as well as sandalwood and rosewood oils to soothe. We're all in love with this daily cleanser (even those of us who don't have young or oily skin can't resist it!).

So whats my take on it???: Lush says its a daily cleanser but i wouldnt agree with them because its a really coarse scrub and its a bit too much for my sensitive skin to take everyday!i use this only twice or thrice a week. its an awesome scrub (i like my scrub nice and grainy) and leaves the skin super smooth after the use.it has to a certain extent helped control the oiliness of my skin and has i think helped even out my skin tone(i dont know for sure if it is because of this scrub as i use other products on my skin too).but it gets a big thumbs up from me for making my skin really really smooth and the sales lady told me its good for blemishes and so far i havent had any breakout!(thats a big plus!)...another thing i like is that it doesnt dry out your skin like the other scrubs i have tried.but it does leave a slight residue behind so u have to make sure that you wash your face really well to get off that residue. the only problem i have is that its a bit messy(or thats just me i guess because i have a white sink and i dont like to see the black residue all over the sink!)..but like other lush products its awesome but i'd recommend that you not use it everyday but then if you can take it ,then go ahead and use it everyday!

TRIED&TESTED: LUSH BIG SHAMPOO!!

WHAT LUSH CLAIMS:

We love salt on the hair because it’s great for giving volume. We experimented with it for a very long time before coming up with this, our ultimate salt shampoo.

We’ve created a rich shampoo base, then crammed in as much sea salt as we could. But we have carefully partnered it with seaweed and coconut to give softness to the hair and fresh lemons and limes to give shine.  We then added a lovely bright and uplifting fragrance of neroli, mandarin, orange flower absolute and vanilla.

So what you get is hair that has lift and volume, but is still easy to get a comb through and smells great for hours.  A big achievement, we felt.

Salt has a second bonus;  because it is a natural preservative, this shampoo requires no added synthetic preservatives. 

WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES FOR ME: 

I had recently posted about my obsession with all things lush and wanting to give my skin a detox and all things natural! my hair has been through hell and back ever since i gave birth to my second baby and   my hair has become even thinner(i have very fine, thin hair)...honestly i am not too fussy with hair products as i just use a basic shampoo(was using tresseme 24hr body)and no conditioner(yes i really dont use one!) and just blast dry my hair if i have the patience.so when i walked into the lush store i dint bother going to the hair care section. but since i had practically bought almost all the products in the store i thought  why dont i give my hair also a detox and buy something natural!so i came across a black pot that said BIG..got curious and i opened it!at first i was a lil put off by the weird slimy looking goop in the pot!but i smelt it and it was so fresh and citrusy and then i read the label and just bought it!yes it was a lil pricey but hey...its all natural!i use it like twice a week so thats ok. i am oficialy in loooovvveee with this shampoo!its beyond fab!!!first i dint know how to use it and i ended up using too much product thinking it might not lather! i was soooo wrong ,you just need a little scoop of the goop and it lathers up really well!

It has coarse sea salt in it(how cool is that)..finally the next wash i got it right. so all i had to do was to tae a small scoop and massage into the scalp and the coarse salt feels good against the scalp and rinse it off!i am not too fond of that super silky smooth hair feeling so i use it without a conditioner!my hair smelled soooooo gorgeous!and it felt gorgeous too after drying!it felt like the sea in your hair,smelling so fresh and nice!i cant tell u how much i love the smell and the hair was super shiny and glossy and my hair actually looked voluminous(thats a great feat coz i have super straight and fine hair)....and it was all bouncy and nice.....my sister has slightly thicker and wavy hair so she felt that it frizzed her hair a little at the ends but nothing a conditioner cant fix!so for those with fine and dull hair this sure gives you just the right amount of volume and super glossy locks!

TRIED&TESTED: LUSH GREASE LIGHTNING

This new years one of my resolutions was to give my skin a complete detox and minimize the usage of chemicals on my skin.so i went ballistic at lush and bought almost every product they had for my skin!i used to always be confused about buying products at a lush store because i would be overwhelmed by all those sweet smelling things and just could never decide what to buy.this time i decided to take some time out and explore all the products this brand had to offer and even researched about the ingredients that go into their products and the end result was that i was totally impressed with their concept!so i went ahead and splurged on some natural goodies and i cant wait to review them.the first one i am going to write about is the Grease Lightning. this is a spot treatment and i have some pesky acne problem that keeps appearing time and again.its a clear light gel that you can apply on those pesky zits and wait overnight for them to disappear. the cystic varieties take a few days though!i apply this over night all over my problem areas on my skin and it has actually helped to zap some zits and also prevent new ones from coming.it has helped in controlling oiliness to a certain extent.so am super happy with this product and its all natural.

it has:

• Aloe vera gel to soothe and moisturise.
• Seawater for its antiseptic properties.  
• Grape juice to cool and calm the skin. 
• Thyme, rosemary and tea tree herb infusions to be gently antibacterial.
• Witch hazel, an astringent that is great for bruising and helps broken blood vessels shrink and contract.
• Tea Tree oil, a powerful antiseptic.
