A minty mask for hot summer nights (and days too)

Hello lushies!
Since I ordered several new products last week, and I was soooo excited by the new ones, I just want share to share my wonderful lush experiences with you lushies!
This week end in France was quite hot, a real summer day! I got my towel out to sunbath in my garden and i got really warm, that's when i thought of trying mask of magnaminty! A minty face mask ought to refresh me! And it perfectly fulfilled its expectations! While i gently refreshed my face while I had it on, after removing it my skin felt nice, clean and fresh! Its awesome after a long day at work in summer too!
And an extra benefit, its meant to be great for big spots! I hope thats true!
Since its summer, take that time to try it and love it!

Big for your hair!

Hiya lovely lushies!
I've been away a while since I was busy, but today I am back to talk abaut big shampoo!
Big is aweeesome! First of all, it has a weird aspect, but that is all due to the salt in it! Big pieces of salt! It tickle's your hands when you use it! Mix it with lemon, citrus and vanilla, it will give your hair great volume and make them really soft!
I permed my hair in january and even though nice cut was nice to give some volume back, after using it, it was even better!
My sister also tried it, and also found it gave volume to her hair, which she hated! But she just could not resist that beautiful smell! Because yes, the smell is wonderful, it will stay in your hair for a looong time and you will not stop smelling them!
I guess that's it for big, all that is left now is for you lushies to try it!
Marion!

Emotional Brilliance, or how to look great day and night!

Hiya Lushies,

It's been a while! I am still a lush addict, and spent most of my Xmas money on Lush this year! Of course I got myself the unmisable and absolutely gorgeous snow fairy (got myself 2 bottles of 500g this year! :D). But I mostly got some make up!!

Emotional Brilliance, remember, it's the new Lush make up range, with gorgeous colours, and great for everyone!

Well, after I got myself happiness eyeshadow, I had to add an eyeliner, the mascara and a lipstick! Which I collected over the months!

Let's start with the eyeliner. I wanted to get one I would use everyday, so I got Independant, the black eyeliner! And I loooove it (I guess it doesn't surprise anyone ;) )! It is easy to put on, the brush is quite thin so you can apply it for a thin or a large width, it dries quite quickly (thus it usually doesn't smudge) and it is REALLY long lasting (you can for example rub your eye midday, you won't end up with a black finger and no eyeliner left on your eye!)! According to lush website, fantasy is based on the same formula and will also dry quickly and not smudge!
There is but one negative point, the brush from my product doesn't always stay on the lid, and therefore I sometimes end up having to take it with my fingers and get product all over them! To solve the problem, I asked for extra brushes which I got and it should be better!


So after getting the eyeliner, I needed the mascara (of course!)! Eyes Right is Lush's Mascara, it's soft, comfortable to wear, it looks nice and subtle, but if you apply several layers, it is more pronounced, and perfect to go out at night, and most of all it is great for sensitive eyes since it only contains 1 preservative (almost 5 times less than ones from other brands). I like how it sets quickly and doesn't smear, nor does it create packages on your lashes! A must have if you want to get some Emotional Brilliance!


Finally, I wanted to get a lipstick, to complete the look! It was hard to choose a colour, I wanted something soft (I already have a million kisses for bright red lipstick!) and I ended chosing the beatiful, soft, two-toned pink: Bubbly! And I think it goes quite well with my character! :) Well Lushies, I have gotten it today and tried it on and already I love it! It feels really soft on the lips, very moisturizing, the colour is very pretty, it can be light if you only use a little, or more pronounced if you use it some more! And one thing I love about it is that it can be used as a blusher! YES it can! I was afraid it would feel weird, maybe greasy, but no! You just a little bit of your product on your cheek, rub it so the colour stays light and then that's it, just a nice, light blusher!

Well, that's it for tonight Lushies, hope you enjoyed this article and it will make you want to get some Emotional Brilliance!

Emotional Brilliance

Hiya Lushies!

Hope you are all well! I, personally, am great! I have just moved back to France!

When I first arrived home, I thought "Oh no, no Lush shop close to where I live :'(" But this week, loads of great news. The first one is especially for the Lushies in France, and more specifically in the Loiret, as it was the grand opening of a shop in Orléans! The staff seems really nice, and although they are really packed with clients, they were very helpful! (not surprising ;-) ) For those interested it is on the "rue de la republique"!

But now, on to the news that will get you all really interested! Today was the international launch of Emotional Brilliance! You have been wondering, and waiting to see what it is, now we know: it is an awesome make up range!

 Many products were launched: new colours to tint the skin, some powder, mascara, eyeliners, eyeshadows and lipsticks! With loads of colours, all more beautiful than the other!

It is based on colours showing some aspects of your personality, and you wear them depending on your state of mind, not to go with your outfit.

How does it work?

First, you spin the wheel, where all colours are displayed. Then you choose the first 3 colours that catch your eyes, not because it is your favourite colour, or because you think it would go great with that gorgeous new dress you just got, but because the colour really caught you eye!

The first colour will represent your strength/weakness, then the second one will represent what your subconcious wants/needs, and the third colour represents what you need to achieve your subconscious needs!

My reading was as follow: Charm was my strength, my subconscious needed to lead, and to do this I would do it with happiness!

I ended up getting only happiness, the golden cream eyeshadow (I will try other products later, and will let you know how they go!) I love the colour, it can be used to go out when used not rubbed into your skin (top line on my hand on the picture), or everyday if you rub it in (bottom line). It dries rather quickly, the pigment is very deep, and the colour stays for a really long time!

I heard the cream shadows can also be used as lipsticks and lipsticks as shadows!

The only negative point is the price, as it is quite expensive to buy! But as always, you can be sure of what you put on your skin/eyes! All we need to check now is how long it lasts, but I am sure it lasts a really long time!

If I were you Lushies, I would run to the closest shop to get my own reading (although you can have your reading done on the lush website) and then get my own emotional brilliance product(s)





Enjoy Lushies!

Great legs with Buffy!

Hiya Lushies,

I have been away for quite some time, sorry! I was on Holidays and did not use my computer much, then I had to get ready and sit my resits (which I passed ^^)! And now I am back after having tried some amaaaazing products!!

And today, I want to write about one of the most awesome of Lush's product, which I would describe as WOW!

This product is the solid body butter Buffy. And Lushies love it sooo much that this body butter, contrary to aquamaribilis and You Snap the Whip, exists in 2 sizes, 1 big and 1 small!

So what does it do, and why is it so awesome? 

Easy! Do you have problems of cellulite? Let's face it, most of us probably do, even though some more than others (I'd be in the more category)! Then Buffy is great for that! It is also great, no matter what!!

I always thought that massaging and rubbing problematic zones (thighs) would help get rid of the cellulite, but it never worked! And then, I went in Lush Preston, after reading about Buffy, and I was told that the truth was, moisturizing is what helps to get rid of cellulite! And buffy is a great body moisturizer!

Not only is it great to moisturize your skin, but it is also full of ground rice and ground almond, which gives it a nice nutty smell, and this is great for exfoliating!

How to use?

First, thing I do now with my body butters when I come home is this: I cut it in many little pieces! This is good when you use the body butter only on certain parts of your body, and it will help to make Buffy last longer, like this you don't put the whole bar under water where it melts! Then take a shower, and on clean wet skin, you rub Buffy until you feel satisfied! Then rinse the ground almond and ground rice! When you exit the shower, pat the skin dry, don't rub with the towel, or you might remove some of the oils!

After a couple of uses you should see the cellulite has gone down! And it's great, because you don't have to use a body lotion after your shower!

So here you have it, Buffy, a great product for the summer! One last tip given to me today at Lush Bluewater: if you exfoliate your skin, your tan will last longer! So what are you waiting for? No excuses not ta have great legs this summer!

^^

New products?

Hi Lushies,

I don't know if any of you has seen this, but it seems that Lush is about to release new products.

Emotional Brilliance is coming on the 21st of July. We don't really know what it is, but seeing the last page of the Lush times, and the "emotional brilliance" video (see it here), it might be a long awaited make up range!

That would be awesome!

My feeling is that it will be some makeup, maybe some eyeshadows and blushers, and it seems some other lushies think it could be some nail polish!

Well, until we know for sure on the 21st of July, feel free to give your opinion!

Byebye Lushies.

My summer perfume

Hi Lushies,

Sorry, I've been away for a while, I had exams, and then I didn't have a good internet.

Today, I want to tell you all about my summer fragrance. I've told you about Lustre already, which I used this weekend. It was absolutely great! I did 3 days of camping, with no toilets and especially no bathroom. So after a very tiny cleaning (as much as I could), I would put on a bit of Lustre, and I would smell really nice, I also feel like it kept me rather dry, not sweating even though it was very sunny and warm this weekend! And because it was so sunny, the glitter was really shiny! Loved it!

So Lustre, the fragrance of this product is also a wonderful, jasmine scented perfume! I loooove it! It smells really gorgeous, and even better with the smell of the sun, and the warmth! It's really great. The fragrance of flowers is really perfect for the summer!

I am currently using the solid perfume, and it's really nice! A bit behing your ears, inside your elbows, inside your wrists, and your ready to go!

You can also sometimes put some at the end of your hair, its great to smell it all day.

Two negative sides to the Lust solid perfume (which are quite minor things): 1- If you have oily hair, I would advise you not to put the perfume on your hair, it will make them a bit more oily. 2- Be careful of the red colour, it can stain your clothes (not permanently!)!

All in all, I really love this smell, and it will be my summer fragrance!

Bye bye lushies!
