Lush products I've been trying ...

Angels on bare skin

In all honesty I can't choose a favourite between these face cleansers - so I've taken to using 'Let the good times roll' as an AM cleanser and 'Angels on bare skin' for PM ! (I intend to get my hands on 'Dark angels' and 'Herbalism' as I am loving the solid cleansers!)









Let the good times roll

Let the good times roll

This is a lovely gentle exfoliating cleanser that has a doughie smell which is why I love using it first thing in the morning. I take a small amount, add a little warm water to create a paste then simply wash your face. It contains maize flour and polenta (packed with vits and minerals) which gentle exfoliate. I find it soothing and relieves any tightness in my skin.





Angels on bare skin

I haven't been working at Lush more than 5 minutes and I've already heard the love for this cleanser (along with Dark angels) so I thought I'd better see what all the fuss was about. This has a strong smell of lavender due to containing the flowers and oil (so if you don't like that scent - I know people who don't- this isn't for you.) For me Lavender is a bedtime oil which is why i use this as my night time cleanser. It is a based on a medieval recipe - that's cool - and contains kaolin which absorbs dirt and grease. This causes a tad of tightness for me as i have dry skin so i do need a moisturiser afterwards. The thing I love about this one is that it seems to even out any redness in my skin and leaves it looking bright. Once watered down the paste clearly contains almond milk which I'm sure is responsible for the above effect. It is also 100% natural ingredients which makes it a serious winner!




Now onto the soaps i've been trying...

Lust soap 19g

Sultana of soap 22g 

This is the 19g sample of Lust soap I received from ebay. The first thing i noticed in the scent of this soap was the Jasmine. It has a weaker but still apparent, similarity to the Floating Flower smell. Jasmine and I are definitely not friends. It just doesn't do it for me. I didn't find this soap moistured my dry skin and although it looks pretty with tiny gold sparkles in it - these didn't transfer to my skin.

The Sultana of soap - Yep it certainly is! I don't read the ingredient / properties of the products I use until after i've made my own mind up on them. I find this way I am less bias on results.  My first impressions of this was it smells good - a milky, cheerful smell. I was a tad confused by the dried fruit it contained! I'd never heard of them being used in a soap!
Anyway it lathers into a milky white consistence and i tell you i just kept smoothing my skin in it - it smelt lovely and was soft on my skin! I came to discover it contains Bergamot - ahhh my bestest buddy!! And has a combination of oils to aid in moisturing even the driest of skins - yep thats me! I will definitely be getting a big chunk of this beauty!
