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!
