Lush lip scrub!



Following on from my last post I mentioned that I have been using the Lush lip scrub! I again, bought this because I had heard some great reviews about the product.  I tend to only buy items that I know I’m going to like. So I’ve given it a go! I bought the bubblegum flavor because I’m all about sweet smelling products. Now, admittedly this is a bit too sweet for me, so therefore I don’t lick it off afterwards (which you can do!) I just tend to wipe it off with a tissue.

I find this scrub quite good; however I haven’t used any others in which I can compare it to. For the price you get a great amount of product which I’m sure will last a long time. After using it I can feel the benefits of my new smooth lips! You can use it as much as you like as well, because it isn’t a harsh scrub it can be used quite regularly. I really like using this and then finishing off with a lip balm- to basically give me new lips!

The cream with some added steam

I have never fallen in love with a cream as much as I have with this one. When I heard about it, I did really want to try it, and I was supposed to be getting it in a beauty box but for some reason or another it didn't make an appearance in mine! Then looking online I couldn't part with my £12.95 for something I wasn't sure how my skin would react to. But then luckily a pot appeared in a beauty box I received last month and I was over the moon!


After trying it out for about a month now I feel that I can write a better review on this product. I have used it everyday, putting it on my face just before I go to sleep. I have also been suffering with dry hands, so I have been using it as a hand cream also. You can use it anywhere really but this is what I have been trying out. Firstly, it smells amazing! It has a subtle scent of lavender and gosh it's lovely to put on your skin last thing at night! I find the scent really relaxing and calming. When I put the cream on my face I feel as though it sits there, but when I wake up in the morning- no trace! Not oily or anything and my skin is just amazingly soft! This is now my go to cream. I have combination skin, sometimes its dry, sometimes its oily and I do get breakouts so trying new things is not something I like doing but with this product I am having no problems.


You get a lot of product for the size of the pot as I find with this product a little does go a really long way, but you can always put more on if you feel the need to. I'm going to continue using this product as I'm really getting on with it and who knows it may be standing in line for a re-purchase! With the rate it's going at the moment I am almost certain. There are many different styles of tin you can buy and it's so hard to choose which one to get!


Steam Cream.

Cupcake Lush Facemask


"We invented this mask for younger skins and for those who are new to face masks and want to use something that’s cheerful and cheeky but still effective and good at its job.
The serious side of this mask has linseed infusion to nourish and soften the skin, fresh mint for toning, cocoa butter to moisturise and rhassoul mud to absorb grease and give a deep cleanse
The lighthearted side of this mask has cocoa powder, vanilla absolute and spearmint oil - because we wanted this to bring all the comfort of a chocolate bar.  Well, a chocolate bar that doesn’t cause spots, of course!"

Highly recommend this product when it is on it smells amazing! As you can see I have already used a fair bit of this face mask but there is plenty more to go! For those of you who haven't tried Lush face masks before they have to be used within 3 week of purchase and there is a date on them. They are to be stored in the fridge and it is recommended that you do 2 face masks a week. But my skin is loving this face mask so I highly recommend it for those of you with problem skin.
