Lush campaign against animal testing!

Hi lushies,

Today is a special article about one of Lush's campaign: the fight against animal testing.

I honestly believed that animal testing had been forbidden in Europe, I just recently learned the true nature of the situation, and was quite shocked!

Some cosmetic companies in Europe (even though it is supposed to be banned by the EU) and in the rest of the world still test there cosmetics on animals. And of course animals are not well treated. I don't think I could tell very well what the situation is today, I am no real expert, so I really encourage you to go on lush website to learn more:

Lush campaign: testing policies

Most of all, please go on this page and sign the petition to fight animal testing!

Please sign the petition! Thanks Lushies!

Byebye!

sweetie pie

Hi Lushies,

I think today is the perfect day to talk about a great summer product (it can also be used all year long!)!
I am talking about shower jellies! I will come later on to explain why I believe its a summer product!

For the little story, on my bday this year 3 friends got me a lush gift card, but one of them had never tried lush so I promised her on her bday she would get a lush goodie! So here comes her bday, and I want to get her something only lush has, except bath bombs since I am not sure if she has a bathtub! After a visit to Lush Preston, I make my mind on a gorgeous sweetie pie! (gave her the next day, and she really enjoyed it :D )! But then I thought, I've never tried a shower jelly either! So here I am, back to lush getting myself one too!

The girls at lush preston gave me great advice on how to use it! You can take the whole thing and wash yourself like this, pop a little piece on a shower puff, but my favourite way of using it is: put it in the freezer, when its cold (doesn't get hard), take a shower washing yourself with the whole jelly! It is cold, soft, very refreshing! So here we are, this is the reason why I think it will be great for the warm days of summer! It is also really great after a good work out session! You are sweaty and hot pop under the shower with your frozen jelly, its great! The most refreshing is to wash your face with it, it really helps to cool down!

More about sweetie pie then! I love the colour and the glitter there is in there, very girly with the sparkle, but not that girly with the deep purple! Then the smell! It's cherry and cassis heaven! Smells really sweet, with a bit of punch thanks to the cassis, like a cherry-cassis candy! There is also coconut infusion and seaweed gel in there to soften your skin!

One other use for the jelly: you can wash your hair with it, and your hair will be left smelling really sweet and lovely for quite a long time!

So, what are you waiting for? you can go get some right now and try it right away! Or you can wait until the weather gets warmer! -_^

That's it for today!

Smelling so gooood after the shower

Hi lushies,

In this post, I want to talk about one product that is going in my list of top favourite products: Ro's Argan!

I have to admit, I am currently in a period where I really like all that is pink (hope my lovely sister, who hates pink won't see that ^_-)! And this product fits in perfectly with this mood!

It is a body conditioner! Like a hair conditioner, you put on your skin after you washed, and then you rinse it off. It might leave you feeling oily, but when you dry off, you will be left feelin rally soft, and your skin will be hydrated, so no need for a body lotion!

But one of the reason why I love it so much is the smell! It smells of rose, sweet rose! And the smell will stay with you four hours!!

In it are loads of ingredients to nourish your skin, so its perfect! One of this ingredient is Argan oil. It can be found in Morocco, is full of vitamin E, and is said to have anti-ageing properties!

So a product that makes your skin really soft, nourishes it, makes you smell of beautifully sweet rose and has anti-ageing properties: What can you ask more?

Feel free to give it a go some day under the shower, and enjoy it!

Bye lushies!

Shine with Lustre

Hi Lushies,

As you my UK and French readers might have noticed, a few weeks ago, we've had beautiful weather, which is sadly gone now. However, I had time to make the best of it! And for me this also means being beautiful and summery when going out (day and night)!

Here is what I believe is a great companion during the sunny days: Lustre!

Lustre is a Jasmine, ylang ylang scented yelow powder. It smells gorgeous, makes me want to sniff my skin all day long! But that is not the only gorgeous thing with Lustre. There is very fine glitter in the powder! When you put it on, your skin looks slightly tanned and glittery. The glitter is very discreet, it really only shine under the sun's light or white light, which is why I believe it is perfect for sunny days!

This powder will leave you feeling fresh and smelling gorgeous! Just put a bit of powder on your skin (I usually apply it on my arms and cleavage!), rub so as to have powder everywhere, and now, you're ready to go.

Price wise, it seems to be a little bit expensive, however you do not use that much, and it will take you a long time to finish your bottle. This is why I think that overall it is not very expensive!

Give it a try next time the sun comes out and you can show a bit of skin!

Byebye lushies!

Oily hair be gone!

Hi lushies,

Sorry I have been quite busy and then I was on busy holidays, so I haven't written here for a while! But here is a new post especially meant for those of you who have oily hair!

I have now been using beautifully fruity I love Juicy shampoo, combined with great conditioner Veganese! And here is the result on my hair: At first, yes my hair were clean, not getting oily the day after I washed them! And that for me was wonderful!

A month later, the results are even more brilliant than I could have imagined! For the past 3 weeks, I haven't even seen the shadow of an oily hair! My hair stay beautiful, soft, clean for well over 2 days! I can go 3 days without washing my head and I would be the only one knowing beacause it would be barely noticeable!

I do believe though that sometimes, it is good to alternate with a different shampoo! So once in a while, instead of using I love Juicy, I clean my hair with Squeeky Green solid shampoo, which is great too!

So here you go lushies, that was my perfect combination to get rid of oily hair!

Until next time, enjoy your lush goodies!
