Oh Lush! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways! You are like waking up to the sun shining in your windows as a cool ocean breeze caresses your body and your mind.
When I walk into your stores, I am surrounded by a warm comforting cloak of magical scents and colors that enchants my senses and soothes my spirit.
If you’ve been introduced to the delightfulness which is Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics, whether online or in-store, then you know of what I speak. If not, what are you waiting for?
Lush Store – MA
Lush makes their products from fresh, organic fruits and vegetables along with the finest essential oils. Their inventors began by visiting farmer’s markets and flower shops, bringing their fresh finds back to the labs and infusing them into their newest inventions. And, that is how things are done today.
Charitable giving is at the heart of Lush and they advocate for the environment, animals and people in need. In 2007, they invented a beautiful hand and body lotion called Charity Pot. 100% of the purchase price goes towards supporting humanitarian, environmental and animal rights causes locally and around the world.
Cruelty-Free, Compassionate, No Animal Testing! Super fun, colorful and creative!
Getting Lush products in the mail always has me giddy with anticipation, so I was particularly excited to unwrap my Lush Christmas gift this year. I received the Happy Christmas box.
Inside!
I’m in love. This sweet shimmering shower gel smells like fresh-picked green apples and champagne! I’m not sure how they did that, but they did! So crisp you just want to sit and smell it all day! With bergamot and neroli oil, it uplifts, softens and soothes.
The soap is a big snowball shape when made and this is a slice of this beautiful rainbow soap with a snow crust. This soap is gorgeous and reminds me of the view inside a kaleidoscope. It is made with cheerful lemon myrtle, toning grapefruit and stress-relieving ylang ylang. I love its smooth clean feel on my skin. It has a predominantly lemon citrus scent and a good lather!
Each Peach (and two’s a pair) Massage Bar
My first time trying a massage bar and I enjoyed it. Fruity avocado and mango kernel butters mixed with Fair Trade cocoa and shea butter nourish and soften as they moisurize. Just let it glide over your skin, then massage it in, especially over dry areas. It’s also great to use with your significant other. It has lime, sweet wild orange, grapefruit and mandarin oil, but I mostly smell lemons. Leaves your skin silky smooth.
Perfect for softening your lips and leaving them kissable for under the mistletoe or anytime. This cherry-cola flavored sugary scrub exfoliates and coconut oil moisturizes leaving my lips super soft. Also, tastes delicious when you lick it off. When you put lipstick or gloss on afterward, it simply glides on, or leave them au naturel. Perfect for winter! Part of the delicious flavor and color comes from extract of cherries and dates.
I have dry skin and my skin loves the rich creaminess of Celebrate. Almond oil and cocoa butter leave my skin moisturized while the scent is fruity and soft, like a light orange mimosa. It is made with orange flower lime and cognac oil.
With a smorgasbord of delightful scents and textures, they are my favorite pampering products and leave you with a touch of joy and magic.
