Will make it up to you with lots of posts in the next few weeks.
So for the first time in a while I get to do some product reviews.
Last week I got given a huge bag of samples from Lush to review.
Now sadly most of my family stole them before I had the chance to test some of them but the ones that were left have been tested by me and now I can give my honest opinion.
This may be in a few parts as I still have a few to try but for part one here it goes.
I love Juicy.
With a combination of pineapple, kiwi and mango. This shampoo is very much a fruity delight. When I washed my hair with this I must admit because I wear a lot of product in my hair. It took a long time to get my hair back to normal, so I did have to use slightly more then average but the smell outweighs the effort. This is meant for greasy/oily hair, which I have and I must admit I have had to wash it a lot less.
Veganese.
With seaweed and rosemary this vegan conditioner is the lightest one that lush do. I was very impressed with this, not only did it make my hair very soft but it didn't weigh down my fine, oily hair. No matter how much I put on. I also like the fact that it is vegan so no animal products are used. Result.
Cupcake
The fresh face mask that smells like chocolate. For oily, combination skin. This fresh face mask had my six year old niece week at the knees to try it. With cocoa powder and rhassoul mud to help tone down oiliness. This is fantastic for spotty or out of control skin. I really did have to resist the urge to lick it off.
Herbalism
The green face cleanser containing nettle, rosemary and rice vinegar. This is did actually help clear up the spots I had on my face, so is fantastic for oily, spotty skin. The only problem I found was after I used it, it made my face go really tight. If you like a cleanser to do that. Then this is perfect but I can't stand having to put tons of moisturizer on just to get rid of the tightness.
Gingerbread house
The gorgeous ginger bubble bar. That everyone seems to adore. My nieces and nephews loved the smell and the shape of the bar. I loved how much like Christmas it smelt like. Produced a lots of lovely, soft bubbles and I am personally gutted that this is only a limited edition bubble bath bar for Christmas.
Almond and coconut smoothie
This smoothie body wash didn't froth up like other conventional shower gels but did leave my skin feeling moisturized and it felt like when I got out of the bath that my skin didn't even need body lotion. The smell was beautiful, I actually felt like I was on holiday. Lovely for the winter.
Karma kream 
With orange blossom water, this to me defines the smell of lush. Karma reminds me of being in the swinging 60's and it is very much a marmite smell. Years ago I hated it with a passion. As I have got older I am starting to love it more and more. This body cream, moisturized my skin without feeling greasy and the bit I loved. I could get dressed straight away after putting it on.
Dream cream.
This cream is lush's best seller. I can see why the smell is nothing to write home about but it made a difference on one key area of my skin. The places where I have eczema, so at the minute that is my arm and on my stomach. I always have a few places where it comes and goes. This cream helped clear my eczema up, which for someone who has had it for years, is a welcome blessing.
Handy Gurugu
Now I didn't get chance to review this, as my mum stole the tester. These are her words about this hand cream.
"I actually liked the smell of this hand cream, but I did find that it was a little greasy. So I mainly used it at night but it has made my hands soft and it is starting to repair the cracks on my thumbs, which no other hand cream has been able to do."
I will do the next part of my lush sample testing either next week or in the next few days. So keep an eye out for that but if you want to make your opinions. Visit a lush shop and see for yourself. If you want to comment on this please feel free.
