Honey I Washed the Kids Soap

Honey I Washed The Kids was the very first item I ever purchased at Lush.  I think I first saw this on one of Elle Fowler's Lush Hauls (when her videos were watchable. I don't even bother with her or her sister's channel anymore, but that's just my opinion.).  This soap smells of honey and caramel and deliciousness.  And I like the decorative wax honeycomb on the top, though it can be a pain in the ass in the shower.  It's pretty creamy, but I like to use a washcloth in the shower and it doesn't lather all that well.  It still lathers better than some of the other soaps that I've used though.  I would suggest cutting up a bar instead of putting the whole entire bar in the shower.  I find it doesn't melt all at once, but it will turn very mushy over the course of time.  DO NOT USE THIS ON YOUR FACE!  This goes for all of their soaps (with the exception of Queen of Hearts).  Their soaps are somewhat drying.  I find that if it feels drying on your body, then it will feel 10x worse on your face.  This soap is a great purchase, especially for those just trying Lush for the first time.

Ro's Argan Body Conditioner

Ro's Argan Body Conditioner is one of those products that had to grow on me.  I love the way it feels on my body, but the smell was another story.  I had tried it at the Herald Sq. store in April.  The smell didn't bother me too much because I could smell all the other products in the store as well.  I had liked what I smelled and bought the 1.5 oz. container (This was a promotional size, so it is not available anymore.  Sorry!).  When I got home from rehearsal later that night I decided that I was going to take a quick shower and try it.  Oh boy was that smell strong!  I found the rose scent very overpowering.  But my skin felt quite nice afterwards.  I can't use it everyday because of the smell so I use it about once a week, usually on a day where I know I won't have time to lotion after my shower.  If you like the sweet smell of roses, then this product is for you.  If not, or if you are very sensitive to smells, I would skip it.  A 7.9 oz. pot goes for $29.95.

How to Use: After you wash your body, rub the body conditioner on to the skin (while it's still wet).  After application, rinse off and gently pat the skin dry.

hmmm...

Trying to decide whether or not to start a YouTube channel dedicated to Lush reviews and, perhaps, maybe demos.  Think I should do it? :)

Fresh Face Masks!!

Mask of Magnaminty

I'm a big fan of this face mask.  I like it because it has a longer shelf life (about 3 months) than the Fresh Face Masks.  It is a clay mask which smells of mint and vanilla.  There are ground aduki beans mixed in for gentle exfoliation.  I use this mask twice a week after I wash my face.  I then keep the mask on for about 10 minutes, letting it dry.  Once dry, I rinse it off, making sure to exfoliate with the aduki beans.  My favorite mask will always be Love Lettuce, but this one definitely comes in a very close second!  

The 4.4 oz. pot is $11.95 and the 11.1 oz. is $22.95.

How to Use: Smooth mask onto clean skin.  Wait until mask is completely dry (approx. 10 mins.) then rinse, using the aduki beans to exfoliate.  Recommended usage is 1-2 times a week.
