After missing my usual Sunday post last week, I am back! I'd had a really tough week back at work and wanted to spend my weekend relaxing and escaping from my usual routine. However in usual Jenny fashion I have bounced back to my positive and slightly mental self again.
This week I wanted to talk about LUSH. Last Saturday I went into the Harrogate shop and had a great chat with the girl who works in there about different products that would suit me. I even walked away with a free sample of their skin tint! I've liked LUSH cosmetics ever since my uni housemate Leah introduced them to me in first year, but I could never afford to buy much on a student budget.
Now that I'm earning a fair whack and have a shop only five minutes away, my collection and love for their products is growing. Not only is their stuff AWESOME, they also have fantastic VALUES such as sourcing 100% recycled packaging, being against animal testing and removing Palm oil from their products.
Catastrophe cosmetic £5.95
This is a blueberry based face mask for skin that is prone to breakouts and problems. My skin is sensitive and reacts to a lot of things. One day it's oily, the next it's dry so this face mask was great for calming my skin. LUSH do a range of fresh face masks for all sorts of skin types so it's worth going in and asking.
Imperialis £12.75
Celestial £11.95
As well as face masks, LUSH also have lots of different face creams because everyone's skin is different! I actually own two different moisturisers for when my skin is playing different games. Imperialis is packed full of plant infusions and is great for combination skin. Celestial is a thicker, more nourishing cream for drier days.
Light Pink Skin Supplement £8.95
This is a new find for me. I went into LUSH last weekend to buy another pot of imperialis and happened to mention my love of tinted moisturiser. Lo and behold, they have a small selection of skin tints which are much better than choosing between light and dark (I'm talking about you Garnier and Nivea). I managed to get a freebie sample that lasted me all week and was lovely to use! Being the sucker that I am, I went and bought a tub yesterday.
Popcorn Lip scrub £5.50
I have already convinced a few friends to buy a lip scrub. It basically exfoliates the dead skin off your lips and leaves them feeling soft. It is edible too so you can enjoy whichever flavour you choose.
Honey Trap £5.75
This one is just a super lip balm for using on it's own or after your scrub :)
Sea Spray £9.95
Despite all the love I give them, I do NOT recommend buying the henna hair dye from LUSH. Leah tried it during second year of uni and I can only say it resembled elephant poop.
Vanillary Solid Perfume £6.50
The fact that this is so much lighter than carrying round a glass bottle of perfume should make it a winner. I have a vanilla natural collection spray from Boots that I spritz on my clothes each day so this vanilla perfume is a perfect match. I quickly dab a little on my neck and wrists as I'm rushing to work in this morning. It's great for an easy top-up during the day too. I've had compliments about how lovey I smell while wearing this too ;)
I have also tried their shower gel, shower jelly, soaps and bath bombs. Some are amazing and smell gorgeous while others haven't been my thing at all. I just like to go in, have a sniff of everything and just try stuff out.

Hair
I bought this way back in the Summer of 2013. I used it a lot on holiday after I'd been in the pool or the sea to give my hair that scrunchy-wave beach look. It smells gorgeous, leaves hair wavy but not crunchy or sticky and it seems to last forever. I now use it on lazy mornings to give my naturally slightly wavy hair some oomph.
Despite all the love I give them, I do NOT recommend buying the henna hair dye from LUSH. Leah tried it during second year of uni and I can only say it resembled elephant poop.
