Trying out LUSH!

I just want to start off by saying that this isn't a sponsored post, I'm just excited about my new stuff and wanted to share it with you :)

I follow a lot of people on Twitter who rave about LUSH products, and after much anticipation I finally dove in and bought myself some exciting new products! I'm a total weirdo and get super excited about new beauty regimen stuff, so I went a little crazy and got more than I intended, but I'm just so excited and impressed by LUSH that I couldn't help myself! I've only been using it a few days, but I can already tell a difference. In high school and into my early 20s I really struggled with breakouts, but in the last year I haven't had to deal with that nearly as much, so my skin routine shifted from acne control to preservation and health. I haven't been using anything super fancy in the last few months, but I'm excited to use LUSH and see how it treats my skin! Here's what I got:


While I was at LUSH, I had a lovely associate help me pick out which products would be best for me. I explained that my skin gets a little oily throughout the day, but it didn't get overwhelming. She recommended I try Angels on Bare Skin, a soothing clay based cleanser with lavender and ground almonds for a mild exfoliant. It's supposed to be a nice introduction into LUSH cleansers. I really like the ground almonds, I love exfoliating but I've never found one I really like. 
I do on occasion have a breakout to deal with, and Herbalism will be great for those times I need to get cleared up. I haven't used this one yet, but I can't wait to try it!
Another "introductory" kind of product. I didn't know which moisturizer would work best for me, so Imperialis was a good choice since it's good for most skin types. I'm loving this one so far, it feels fantastic and lasts all day!
I've tried toners before, but the ones I've tried have been harsh alcohol based ones. The employee I talked to said it's great to use after you're out in the sun, and it's great to use in conjunction with Imperialis. 

I also got a small solid perfume in Orange Blossom that I'm really digging too! I'm not a perfume gal, really, but this one is subtle enough to wear every day! 

So there's my LUSH list! I'm really excited about this stuff, I think it's important to take care of my skin and I'm hoping that this routine will help. It's a bit pricier than I'm used to, but it's supposed to last quite a while, so it'll work out to be affordable. Have you tried any LUSH products? I'm interested to hear what you think of it!

  2. I've been using Lush for about 15 years and I have to say - I love it! They have something for everything - in particular, for my hair - I use Rehab and the fellow conditioner (I can't remember the name!) But Angel face is so good as a face mask and daily wash!

  3. Ooh! I've never heard of this brand. I'll have to check it out! Hope all is well! I am sure you're still getting settled from the move, but I can't wait to see what your new place looks like! :) xo

  4. I use Angels on Bare Skin (as well as their hair products) and swear by it! It's been great for my skin. My mom has pretty problematic skin and I got her the one that looks like coal (forgot its name) and she's obsessed, so if one isn't perfect for you definitely test out the range! :)

  11. When I still worked at my old law firm that wasn't a health hazard, the attorney I worked for was a super hip younger one, and for Christmas she bought me a TON of stuff from Lush. I loved it. It was all bars of soap and such, no face things but I've always heard good things about their product. I wish there was one by me in Indiana!

    The perfume sounds like it smells good too. So, give me some. ;)

  12. I love love lush, I've been addicted for years. The products you choose are great introductory products I use them all myself. Herbilisum isn't the best smell but it helps fight those pesky breakouts. If you ever want to try a face mask I love Cupcake it smells good and helps with breakouts as well, also oatafix it smells like banana bread and I am always tempted to eat it. Oh and wait till you try bubble bars you'll be hooked forever.

  14. I love Lush, it's the greatest beauty brand there is in my humble opinion! The bath bombs, bubble bars & bath melts are definitely my favorite. It keep them in a little bowl in my bathroom and they are so decorative and smell amazing! My other favorite products are the Bubblegum lip scrub, (boyfriend is always complimenting how soft my lips are!) and R&B leave in conditioner. It smells AMAZING and leaves my coarse, dry hair silky smooth! Congrats, you're an addict now!

  18. I've been a Lush fan for ages. I swear my luggage was half Lush products when I came back from London in 2003. Butterball bath bomb and Honey I Washed the Kids hand soap are my favorites.

  19. Hi miss,

    I'm a total Lush fanatic! I started using their products in 2005. You and I must be skin type twins. I use Breath of Fresh Air and Imperialis daily. I have bought Angels on Bare Skin multiple times but sometimes I get bored with the smell. Wait until Christmas! Buche de Noel is the best cleanser hands down. Try it, you'll love it! I've wrote Lush suggesting they carry it year round. My best friend lives in North Dakota (I'm in West Virginia) and she'll be in to visit in the next few weeks. We make it a habit to drive to the nearest Lush store (2 1/2 hour drive) to the Washington DC area. I'll stock up on my face regimen, bubble bars, and the Big Tease hair gel for sure. Most likely, I'll buy more than that! Thanks for sharing :)

  20. I used to work for LUSH.. in the factory with Corey- the guy on your fresh face cleanser. I used to make every thing from soaps, bathbombs, jellies... all of it really. I hope you enjoyed your LUSH stuff.

  21. I use Angels On Bare Skin too, and it is awesome! It always makes my skin feel smooth and so clean and fresh! I've never used a lush mosturiser, they seem a little too expensive for me, although I've never hear reviews from friends about them either so maybe that would sway me to try one!x

  22. Love Herbalism! Their solid serum is also a big hit with my face (been using it a year and a half now) best thing ever for the summer time. I also highly suggest you try out Dream Cream if you get the big time dry winter skin, I use it with both my boys (2 & 4 months) on their dry skin. Seriously how awesome is LUSH? I love that I can use it and my boys can use it as its more gently on their skin than traditional baby products.

  23. I hope you are loving the goodies you got. We use sooo much LUSH around our house as I love that everyone in our family can use it. Their bubble bars are my 2 year old's favorite, best and biggest long lasting bubbles EVER!!!
    Now that its winter (in Washington at least) I suggest you try out Dream Cream or Charity Pot, I get Dream Cream for the kiddos and use Charity Pot generally for me, as well as Full of Grace (solid facial serum).
    O btw love that your BF is Chris being a Christina that married a Christopher I am quite partial to that name ;)
