Announcements and LUSH

I just received word that my Birchbox has shipped. I am actually going home because of my Spring Break so I sent the box to my mother’s house. Expect an in depth Birchbox post after I receive it.

I also just received my income tax money a couple of weeks ago and I’m going to treat myself to a camera, a really freakin’ nice one. So expect new and improved angles and pictures in general. I am super duper excited.

The purpose of this post is to announce those things but to also introduce you to my new found love:

LUSH Cosmetics.

If you haven’t heard of LUSH they are a brand out of the U.K. who produce all natural cosmetics. When I say cosmetics, I mean skincare, hair care, foot care; basically, anything amazing for your body, LUSH has it.

I had the pleasure of going to my first LUSH store this weekend and it was an overall awesome experience. The staff was extremely helpful and had answers to all of my questions and concerns. LUSH also provides free samples of their products if you have never been or just want to try out something new. I requested a sample of the ROOTS hair mask (which I have heard so much about and was the original reason I ventured into LUSH) and also I needed a new moisturizer for my face so I chose Celestial for normal/dry skin. I was EXTREMELY pleased by the results of my first hair mask. It took out the frizz, smells amazing, and left my hair bouncy, wavy, and super soft.

I also purchased a MINT face masque from LUSH that I am also very pleased with. For one, the smell is so invigorating and clean. Next, it feels really great on the skin and dries well. It’s not too tough. Laughing is a little difficult while it is on your face I tried that. Third, the after result is like a new face. My skin has been abused this winter as I haven’t been properly washing and hydrating my face. (I’m sorry, face.) I feel like my face will be thanking me after a few more applications of the MASK OF MAGNAMINT. <--- Lush’s proper name

I purchased MANY more products from LUSH and can’t wait to have time to go through them all this coming up week. I promise to do a post about how I feel about each product I purchased.

Finally, here is the picture of the mask and the samples I picked out. I’ll post all three so you can see the different sizes:

1. ROOTS sample (hair mask)

2. Celestial moisturizer sample (face)

3. Mask of Magnamint (face mask)

(Me being silly and shocked about how the texture feels and the overall appearance of the mask. I absolutely love it now.)

I forgot to mention LUSH products are 100 percent handmade and are made from vegetables and other natural things. LUSH products do not contain harsh chemicals and only enhance your body, not hurt.

Last but not least, they DO NOT test any of their products on animals and are completely against animal testing for cosmetics. Do some research on them or just visit their website by clicking here.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THESE PRODUCTS AND EXPECT SOME FUTURE REVIEWS COMING.

I hope y’all are having a wonderful Thursday.

XOXO,
