Lush Haul

I’ve recently tried out some new lush body care products, some good, some not so good. Lush is definitely one of my top trusted brands, as it’s natural ingredients don’t play havoc with my sensitive skin. However, I’ve  found some of their products too overpriced to warrant including them in my daily routine.


 Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter £6.25

This is one of Lush’s exfoliating body soap bars, ideal for buffing down your legs in the shower. Exfoliating is made much easier with a bar as you can glide it down your legs and use the bar itself to work it’s magic. Tiny ground up almond shells gently scrub away any dead skin cells, and a combination of almond and cocoa butter leave a biscuity fragrance with a smooth moisturised finish. Lush pride themselves on it not being greasy but the fact you’re using it in the shower would make that quite difficult anyway. My only critique would be that it can be used up quite quick as it melts into a lather so easily, so it isn’t really worth the money.  Therefore, I wouldn’t use this in my regular routine, just as a treat before a night out.

Soft Coeur Massage Bar £4.95

My housemates got this for me as a birthday treat and I was pleasantly surprised by the power such a small little heart could have. Although it looks quite small, a little goes a long way and your legs feel baby smooth after gliding this over them; the perfect after shave finish. Made up of shea butter, cocoa butter and almond oil; these are the perfect mix of skin softening ingredients. With added toffee fragrance, this massage bar is great for those who love sweet smelling body care, although I usually prefer a floral scent. All in all I’d definitely recommend this as a gift for a friend, it’s cute, sweet and feels great.
