Here is my small but pleasent Lush collection from over 2014 the year of up and downs and a very stressful time at university but now its all blue skies and during the end months of 2014 was the most amazing adventurous becoming a full Lushie, loving and working in Lush!
Part one: Shower gel, Soap and Shower jellies.
Black Pearl - First of all is my recent and most anticipated shower gel (I have a review already on my blog) it's a lovely Lavender scent reminiscent to A French Kiss bubble bar, that is great for anyone who wants to bulk up their shower gel collection with a mysterious limited editon Shower gel.
So White - A Christmas release of 2014 this shower gel is an amazing refreshing fresh apple scent inspired by the famous fairy tail story of Snow White and the poisonous apple.
Rose Jam - Also a Christmas release of 2014 I have always been a fan of the sweet floral rose jam scent, be it in the shower gel form or the shampoo bar. I feel its perfect for anyone who doesnt quite fancy the most sweetest Snow Fairy scent and wants something slightly sweet with the hint of floral. Its a beautiful mature scent and lingers on the skin all day.
Snowcake - That lovely Marizpan scented shower gel that I had always wanted in my collection. The snowcake scent wasnt always a favourite scent of mine at the beginning but soon became one once washed my hands with the soap! snowcake is such a nourishing and creamy shower gel and leaves a lovely scent on the skin.
Snow Fairy -The celebrity of all shower gels is the bubblegum/pear drop scent of Snow Fairy. It is a big favourite in my family espcially to my Papa who adores it! I'm really glad to have this in my collection as it fills that special space! there isnt another shower gel like it.
Twilight - I have always been in love with the twilight ballistic, its sweet, calming and colours your bath with baby pinks and blues. Its so beautiful and I knew I needed it in my collection, its a same that I only have the 100g but as soon as this baby comes on the kitchen in a 250g version it shall be mineee. :')
Reindeer Rock - Carrying the same scent as The comforter, released for 2014 was the beautiful deep blackcurrant scented soap full of bergamont Oil that is comforting, uplifting and cleansing and described to me by my supervisor as a friendly gentle hug.
Bohemion -A wonderful citrus scented soap mixed with lemon oil to refresh the mind and brighten/perk up the mind! Always a favourite of mine in the morning.
Sea Vegtable - A little sample of this soap goes a long way packed full of minerals, Lavender, seaweed, lime and lemon oil. I also adore the colour of this beautiful turquoise soap.
Sandstone - Another citrus scented soap! not the most attractive upon the eyes but it works wonders. Cubeba oil is helped to wake up the mind and get you ready for the day whilst providing a light sandy scrub. It is always a must on my sink!
Sweetie Pie/Whoosh&Snowman Jelly - All jellies in general are totally worth the money! to me they never seem to disapear! All scents are fabulous and the Snowman jelly is so unique, I love that carrot infusion! I have had a few cases where people have come into Lush and told me that their child had eaten their sweetie pie jelly!
Part two: Massage bars, Shampoo bars & body butters.
Snow Fairy Sparkle - First of all is my recent and most anticipated shower gel (I have a review already on my blog) it's a lovely Lavender scent reminiscent to A French Kiss bubble bar, that is great for anyone who wants to bulk up their shower gel collection with a mysterious limited editon Shower gel.
Pearl massage bar - This massage bar shares the same scent as Rose Jam, Ro's Argan conditioner, Jason and the Argan shampoo bar! its so gorgeous and rich! you feel like a queen using any of these beautiful rose scented products.
Therapy? - My favourite massage bar is my all time favourite! full of my favourite Neroli Oil and fresh sweet orange oil - Neroli is the most perfect ingrediant proven to increase serotonin levels in the brain and improve the tone and texture of the skin whilst the orange helps lift your mood and brighten your day.
Shades of Earl Grey -I havent yet tried out this massage bar but I am a big lover of everything tea related so this bar is perfect for me - it has a very soft scent of citrus and I can't wait to try it out. (has anyone used this bar?)
New shampoo bar&Honey I washed the hair -I also havent tried out these two shampoo bars as I am finishing up my Jason and the Argan bar which makes the hair look so healthy but has started to smell a tiny bit musty. The cinnamon in the New bar is going to provide stimulation to the scalp and increase volume and hair growth, I can't wait to try. And of course the HIWTH will be beautiful I love that honey scent plus its benefits of it being nurishing and an antiseptic!
You snap the whip&Buffy -YSTW smells excatly like Dark angels to me which is my favourite so I cant go wrong with it! full of pumice and charcoal to scrub away that dead skin and cocoa butter to nurish afterwards and finally to top it off with macadamia nut oil to generate new skin cells. A lovely twin product is Buffy less exfloating plus more of the nurishing! cocoa butter, shea butter and Lavender oil for that calming scent - I can't wait to use them!
Part three: Face products.
Tea Tree Water - I must of talked about this toner water 1000 times its incredible and cannont suggest it enough. It's antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial to help prevent those nasty pimples! There is also lots of refreshing, balancing waters in there like Junipberry water and grapefruit water.
Grease Lighting - I've had this little bottle for ages it's really nice to pop on before bed to reduce the soreness and redness of pimples, and I love the smell of witch hazel and tea tree.
Eyes Right - I had always wanted to try more of the EB range in Lush, and im really happy I got to try Eyes right made with wheatgrass to conditon the lashes making them look lovely and natural and very buildable.
EB Success -I recieved this little beauty by winning a competiton. I decided to chose the colour that popped the most to me and that I wouldnt normally go for - that colour is success the beautiful silver glitter. The thing that I love most about Lush's EB is that candelilla wax is used instead of Beeswax so that its suitable for vegans and super blendable!
Santa Baby lip tint - I love this Christmas editon lip tint! It was great rich red colour tasting of coca cola and is especially beautiful for the christmas time and would be great to be paired with a gold or silver makeup look, it isnt drying on the lips either!
Dark Angels - My great love of all Lush products, Full of Rhassoul mud, Black sugar and charcoal to deeply cleansing, banishing and scrubbing the dirt away from the skin, removing dead skin cills leaving the skin bright and refreshed.
Gorgeous - My first and only face moisturiser I cant ever part with it! Totally worth the price for what your getting - made with a technique called cold pressing, the beautiful ingrediants are pressed to create the finest quality. It is a timely process but absoutely worth it to get this lovely rich and nourishing mosituriser. Some of those ingrediants are pinapples, limes, oranges and orange blossom honey - such gorgeous ingrediants leaving your skin feeling so soft and silky.
Part four: Body products.
First snow dusting powder - Sharing the same scent as the Golden Wonder and Celebrate, a lovely scenetd dusting powder if you like the scent, but for me sometimes is a little too strong.
Creme Anglaise - A lovely and rare body lotion that I got through a lovely trade! Ths lotion was the most expensive one around as the main ingredient is saffron; the most expensive spice in the world. Its such a beautiful and unique spicy scent that lingers around on the skin, if anyone has the chance to get their hands on it they absolutely should!
Volcano - Given as a gift by my manager Volcano foot mask was the product that I knew the least about in Lush so it was a great experience to try it out. Its really great to use and pamper yourself after a long day on your feet, you apply and then cover with plastic to keep all the heat in. Full of brightening and deodorising papaya with pumice. Its a treat for all feet!
Dream Cream - Throughout my time I have tried my fair amount of body lotions and this Lush dream cream would have to be my all time favourite. It is a very mature and simple cream and works wonders on upset/irritated skin. Ingredients like oat milk, rose water and chamomile blue oil calm down hot and itchy skin by cooling and soothing. Great to treat eczema the oats inside have long been used as they contain antihistamines. I even use this dream on cuts as it removes that horrible sting!
Charity Pot -The all famous hand&body lotion with every purchase going towards 100% of the price to a chosen charity. Full of the most luxurious ingredients: Shea Butter that is nourishing&hydrating, Ylang Ylang oil that adds that little bit of sweet scent and Rosewood Oil that is antiseptic and uplifting. I always carry around a little pot of Charity pot in my purse to apply whenever I need.
Buche De Noel - Placed in the wrong section! but none the less this lovely Christmas edition face cleanser keeping that glowy skin throughout winter time. Its great for all skin types, loaded with fresh ingredients like ground almonds that gently exfoliate away the rough skin whilst almond oil and seaweed hydrate&nourish the skin. Its a lovely cleanser inspired by a French dessert.. but unfortunately the smell of it makes me gag a little!
Part five: Face masks.
BB Seaweed -The Lush face masks are the most incredible, I wouldn't dare use any others! you know everything whats inside and how great it is for the skin. BB Seaweed is a wonderful calming and balancing face mask full of fresh seaweed, ground almonds, Rose absolute, Aloe Vera and rosemary oil, all soothing, regenerative qualities ingredients.
Oatifix -Is a gentle, nourishing mask made from lovely fresh bananas and the rich illipe butter to work against that dry skin. Oatmeal, ground almonds and kaolin work together to scrub away any dead skin leaving you fresh faced and fully moisturised.
Catastrophe Cosmetic - My second favourite face mask after the almighty mask of mag - the calming and moisturising face mask packed full of blueberries, calamine, chamomile, rose and almond oil to soothe and soften the skin. The blueberries are rich of vitamins and miners rich in the A, C and E vitamins that protect the skin. Such a beautiful mask leaving the face feeling so amazingly soft!
Part six: Bath bombs, melts and bubble bars.
Sex Bomb -When your in a mood for something a little more sensual then this sex bomb is perfect - a blend of jasmine, Ylang Ylang for soothing and sage that clears the mind and spirits. Like the perfume Lust that is pure jasmine, jasmine itself is a natural aphrodisiac that will leave you wanting more, together with the beautiful intricate rose petal design its so perfect.
Fizzbanger - If you love really crazy/fun bombs with a zesty bright scent is great for you! Swirls of yellows and greens surround your bath crackling with popping candy and the scent of apple and warm cinnamon. A great ingredient in this fizzbanger is Petitgrain that is used in aromatherapy to calm the breathing and slow the heartbeat helping in reducing anxiety.
Luxary Lush Pud - What a wonder christmas edition ballistic, it has to be my favourite of 2014. Firstly, to me the scent is very similiar to Mrs Whippy and twilight as it carries a very sweet scent created by the sweet benzoin and tonka absolute. A kaleidoscope of blues, greens, pinks, yellows and oranges create a beautiful and mesmorising bath.
Avobath - A crazy zesty ballistic full of lemongrass, bergamot oil, avocado and olive oil. Its great for tackling any tiredness and keeps you fresh and ready for the day. I can't wait to use this one for myself. The shower gel Avowash is the same scent that I need to get my hands on! its pure eye candy!
Mrs Whippy - What a beautiful queen of bath bombs Mrs whippy is. Created by Mark constantine for his wife, inside the gorgeous bomb is Soya Milk, Buchu Oil, Tonka Absolute adding that sweet ice cream like scent. I'm so glad I got my hands on this little rare beauty.
Butterbear - Created as a sort of twin product to Lush's butterball but more of a marshmellow scent, fabulous for anyone with sensitive skin just like butterball and is avaiable for only a small price and is great to combine with other flavours!
Dragons egg - This ballistic is the most entertaining and fun in the bath! When in the bath it creates a gorgeous citrus scented water with gold throughout fizzling an crackling throughout.
Ceridwens Cauldron - Such a mystical bath melt great for dry or sensitive skin! I love the fact that it comes in a lovely muslin washcloth. A spellbinding scent of frankincense, rose and sandalwood create this oaty and milky bath.
Starlight star bright - Is perfect for any occasion! full of lime and ginger both of which are upfliting and brightening turning my bath water a beautiful turquoise blue.
A French kiss -I have recently started to fall in love with the scent of Lavender and you can't get much more than a french kiss! I'm saving this beauty when I'm in a dire need for a good nights rest.
So that is my little Lush collection of 2014.. I can't wait to see what 2015 will bring with my little addicition to Lush, I would love to see everyones collection and favourites. ;')
