Lush purchases

soak & float shampoo bar

american cream double strength conditioner

bubblegum sugar lip scrub

I noticed the Lush store when we first got here but always resisted going in as I knew I would spend too much. But after a while I decided (persuaded myself) I actually needed these products, so took a little trip to Lush while Glyn went to a bookstore. I've used these products a fair bit now and thought I would just quickly give my opinions on them. So here they are:

Soak & Float Shampoo Bar ($13.50) - I've actually used this before, but it's been a while as I couldn't really afford it. I tend to get really dry skin, in particular around my nose, hands and unfortunately, scalp. This is the only thing I've used that I would say actually works on my scalp. It lathers really well and lasts quite well too. The only thing people seem not to like about it is the smell, to be fair it does STINK, like a campfire, but after you've been by it all night and then your clothes still reek of it a few days later if left unwashed. I don't actually mind the smell too much, although I've found it can linger on your hair which is a bit annoying.

American Cream Double Strength Conditioner ($13.95)  - I bought this in the smallest size as I didn't want to spend too much money on a conditioner when I already have a deep treatment conditioner and moroccan argan oil at home. The first time I used this I wasn't overly impressed, not sure what happened, because every time since then it's been great! My hair can be very dry towards the ends (yes, I am a very dry person!) but this sorts it out, it also covers the smell of the Soak & Float which I didn't think was possible. It smells really lovely, very vanilla-y, the kind of smell you don't mind lingering! 

Bubblegum Flavour Sugar Lip Scrub ($9.95) - I decided to treat myself to this as I'd previously been devising my own at home, which is just not as nice as this one. It smells like actual bubblegum, I got it out on the tram after buying it and somebody said 'Who's got Hubba Bubba?!'. It's a really lovely treat to exfoliate your lips, I like to follow it up with Palmers Cocoa Butter Lip Balm (LOVE that stuff!).

I hope you enjoyed this post, I fancied posting something like this now, especially as I haven't posted in so long! :)
