Lush is an addiction, a love, a passion, and honestly I need an AA
program to help me recover, and to stop spending half my paycheck every
other week on their site.
WHAT IS LUSH?
Lush is a bath and body product store and online store. Everything is
made of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. Most of their products are
all natural and vegan. None of their products are ever tested on
animals. This is sort of what attracts me to their products, the fact
that it's chemical free, and no animals were guinea pigged. Oh yeah, and
the smell of their products are divine. But I'll mention this further
on.
WARNING:
Lush soaps, massage bars, body butters and other items all melt rather quickly. Not melt before your eyes quickly,
but fast enough. So when I order their soaps, I cut them into sample
sized pieces and use one at a time. I save the rest in a cool dry place,
or in the fridge.
If you ever happen to order from www.Lush.com
expect to wait from 12-15 days for it to ship to you. You can also shop
ant any local lush stores if you happen to have one nearby. If not your
stuck to shopping online, which stinks because their shipping rates are
a bit unfair.
Items will arrived neatly packed and sealed with a kiss (Thats what the label says anyways).
Your items should all have an expiration date. Yup thats right, some of
Lush's products have an expiration date as to when you should discard
the item. However I have never gotten such a thing on any of my items,
and I don't know why Lush mentions it, if they don't add it. There
should also be the name of the person who handmade your product. Again, I
have yet to receive this either. It's a small disappointment, but the
products make up for it. Not only that with every order Lush throws in 2
samples of their products. Sometimes though it's as if they don't
really look what you ordered and you end up with 2 samples of things you
already have. Wake up Lush!
MY ITEM OF THE WEEK:
ANGELS DELIGHT!
It's a lovely glycerin/cream handmade soap. On the Lush website it is pinkish in color with glitter stars all throughout.
However Lush soaps are cut from the block, so you never know what
you're going to get. I for one have never ever gotten the golden ticket;
as in angel stars.
My first bar was an all pink glycerin based soap. But my second order
of it came in a pink and purple glycerin, with swirls of creamy blue
throughout it. The scent thankfully remained the same.
The soap itself it $6.65 for 3.5oz bar.
I cut mine up into sample sized pieces and got nearly 10-12 pieces out of it. Pretty cool!
Lush soaps are known to become very potent once warm water hits them.
It's like activating the stink button. But oh the stink is heavenly. I
could really understand why Lush would call this one Angel's Delight. It
smelled simply delightful. A delicious scent of fruit punch filled the
air, and I happily scrubbed away.
In the shower I knew this glycerin based soap would last most likely
for only 5-10 minutes and melt away to nothing. However it lasted so
long I didn't even have to use the entire thing. So I saved the rest for
the next day.
Angel's Delight doe not do such a wonderful job though when it comes
to creating a luscious lather. However it did make me feel clean, and it
did rinse off without leaving any residue or greasy icky feeling
behind.
After my shower was over and done with, I could smell the scent of
this fruity goodness surrounding me and sticking with me. The smell
lasted for at least 3-4 hours afterward, which is pretty dang good for
soap. I never have any soaps scent last with me after a shower. Usually
the scent is gone when I'm dry. This is not the case with Angels
Delight. This is why I dub this particular soap with a perfect 100% when
it comes to Lush soaps.
It's so lovely I'm growing wings.
