Lemony Flutter

Hi Lushies,

Any of you has really dry patches on your skin? Like very dry elbows for example? Well I do, and thanks to the Lush Preston Staff, I have found the perfect product to deal with this problem!

Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter
As its name states: its meant to be a cuticle butter, but I don't use it as such at all! it is extremely moisturising so perfect for my very dry elbows! I have been using it everyday for a week, and it is almost as if I had never dry elbows!

But elbows are not the only place where you can use it! I have a tattoo on the inside of my right ankle, and my skin there is VERY dry. The result is that my tattoo is not as neat as it should be. So I use just a tiny little bit, and then my tattoo looks a lot nicer. Some of the lovely people at lush preston also use it on new tattoos to help the skin heal!

And the last place I use it is on the my heels! My heels are extremely dry and cracked, so I use just a little bit on there and it seems to be working (I have only been doing this for a couple of days).

As far as the smell is concerned, it is not my favourite, it smells of lemon (no really? didn't guess by the name of the product ^_-!), and lemon is not something I really enjoy! But the smell is not that strong, so when I use it after having used other products (like hottie), I don't really smell it anymore!

And last but not least, a pot of lemony flutter will last you AGES! No kidding, the amount you use is so tiny, because you don't need more! I am ready to bet mine will last more than 3 months!! So see you in 3 months for the answer to that question!

See you lushies, until then, enjoy all you lush goodies!

Hottie

Hi Lushies,

Today, I talk about the very first massage bar I have ever tried!

The little story about why I came to chose hottie is quite simple. I am currently trying to lose weight so I started sports, going to step and zumba at least twice a week, if not more. For those who do not know it, in zumba and step, you jump, dance, go up and down a step! So by the end of the class, your muscles will probably be sore!

So I chose Hottie to relax my muscles after I've worked out! I really love the smell: Vanilla and other things I don't really identify! I just warm it in my hands, put a little bit on my legs and then massage it on my legs! And my legs are then really soft, and smell really nice! And I don't know if it is thanks to hottie, but the next day my legs are not sore ^^

However, I thought when I used it I would have a warm feeling on my legs, but no. Well, as long as it works, I won't complain, it still is a nice feeling, soft and relaxing, when I use it!

One last thing I loooove about Hottie is the bumpy side, apply the oil on your skin using that bumpy side it is like a massage already, and it really helps to relax tensed muscles!

Until next time, enjoy your massages!!

Wonderful facial at lush!

Hi Lushies,





Today, my sister came all the way from France to visit me, and our first stop was, of course, LUSH in Preston! We were suppose to go to the Rock Chic event, sadly it was moved to another day! But the good news is that the lovely Fiona from Lush Preston offered us to still have a facial this afternoon!


So we went to have a Facial, and Lushies, if you have yet to try it, let me tell you, it is an amazing experience! You get an amazing face massage, by lovely lush staff, using great lush products! A lush heaven! You start with a cleansing massage with ultrabland, then, it is cleaned from your face with one of the tonic water, we had Breath of Fresh air! This is followed by a massage using full of grace, a very nice and moisturizing face lotion! The excess is cleaned with Eau Roma water, and your facial is finished by the moisturizer that best suits your skin!

To sum up, it was a wonderful moment, thank you again to the Lush Preston Staff! It was awesome!

See you next time Lushies!

A great Routine

Hi Lushies,

In this article I want to tall you all about my evening routine, for a really nice skin, and to relax before bed time!

So imagine, after a long day, your skin has suffered from the pollution outside, the make up you've put on, the cold when it's winter, and so on! Plus, you might even have a problem skin! First step of your routine before you go to bed: clean your face! And for that ultrabland cleanser is great!!

Ultrabland is a cleanser for all skin types! So for my combined skin, it's perfect! Don't be afraid by this greasy, oily texture! The base is made of beeswax and almond oil, and what it does is that it "captures" the dirt, and it is really easy to remove. In addition, it is not heavy at all, it is a nice feeling when you massage it on your skin! It also has rose water and rose absolute to balance your skin!!
Personally I love, I use just a little bit every night! It is a great make up remover! Just massage it on your face, and remove it with a damp cotton pad! I usually use a tonic water to wet the cotton pad!

Eau Roma
Eau Roma is really nice for oily or combined skin, the lavender it contains really balances the sebum production! I love to use it after ultrabland for 2 reasons! First it smells really good: lavender and rose are 2 of my favorite flowers as far as smell is concerned!! And also because it is really refreshing on the skin, and after ultrabland, if you use Eau Roma, not only will you feel clean, but you will also feel fresh and you will smell great!

Finally, I finish my routine by using my moisturizer! I use imperialis, but you can use any moisturizer, as long as it suits your skin!

That's it lushies. Anyone wants to share their own evening/morning routine? Feel free to comment!


See you next time!

Flying fox

Hello Lushies!

I went to Lush today! It was urgent as I was running out of ultrabland and imperialis!!! Not good, especially in this freezing weather!! And I also got a few samples of products for oily hair, so I will tell you all about it as soon as I try them. I also got some snake oil scalp treatment! I will tell you all about it too as soon as possible!!

But today, I want to write about this great shower gel!! Flying Fox!

Why do I love it? It is a smell of Asia in the shower! Smells of Jasmine, Ylang Ylang and its full of lovely honey!
It is a rather liquid shower gel, but makes your skin feel really clean, the honey makes your skin feel really nice and soft, and the lovely smell stays on you for a few hours after your shower!
Lush also says it is full of aphrodisiac essential oils! I am going to have to use it when I'll be with my boyfriend then!

This is one of my favourite perfume for the shower gel! It's great!

Enjoy your shower lushies!!

Dark angels

Hi lushies!

Today, I want to present another great scrub for oily skins!

Ocean salt is great, but it might be a bit harsh on your skin, rub rub rub is just not exactly what you need? Well then, you can try dark angels!

It is great for oily skin, although it might not be very appealing! Yes it contains mud and charcoal, which gives it it's deep black colour! But it is good for your skin! Then you have the black sugar to give your skin a good scrub, and I found it is a bit softer than salt!

It smells of sandalwood and rosewood, which I find is quite nice, plus these ingredients are antiseptics!

When you use it, just put a small amount in your hand, but water on it, and mix so that you have a nice paste! Then scrub your face, and rinse! Don't worry, if the water is all black it's normal! Do remember to rinse the sink afterwards though!

It will leave your skin soft, moisturize, smooth! Just apply your moisturizer after wards, and then you're all ready to either go out or go to bed!

See you lushies!

25:43

Hi lushies!

Finally got my 25:43 perfume!!! It is sooooo great!  Trying it on my wrist made me fall in love with the scent: hot bright summer day first with all this lemongrass smell, and then a warm summer evening cuddling with your loved one.and watching the sun set  vanilla smell. I know it is more images, but that is what it makes me think of!!
Now, I have it, I actually love it more! You know how when you put a nice perfume on, and after a while, you can't smell it anymore? Well, with 25:43 it is not like that! You will smell it all day long and I personally love this!!!

Lushies that use other perfumes, feel free to comment to tell us if it is the case with other lush perfumes, can you smell it all day long?

See you later lushies!
