Summer with Lush

Hello Angels

One of my favorite brand to blog about - Lush! And this Summer i am in very much need of some pamper. Here are a some interesting new launches...

Granny Takes a Dip - Lol! Surely a cool Granny! Though i wonder why it is named so? I was rather impressed by the size of this Ballistic for starters. Very big compared to other Lush Ballistic. GTAD is a perfect tangible form of Rainbow!  It was a pleasure to watch it fizz away and turn my bath into a pool of rainbow! By far the most prettiest ballistic from Lush.

Going by its looks, i expected a fruity/sweet scent opposed to its actual spicy-lemonish fragrance. Very relaxing and calming. Nothing too powerful. The product doesn't work much on a moisturizing front, so if you need some extra moisture i would recommend adding a bath melt. Since the Ballistic is huge (yes, i am stressing again!), one can afford to cut it into half  and use for 2 baths.

A must stock Ballistic from Lush especially to brighten up those grey days!. Sure to bring a smile on your face! USD10/AED37

P.S. Makes a wonderful cheer up gift too...

D'Fluff  Strawberry Shaving Soap : Yes ladies, Lets talk about hair! Lol...
The product is not formy in texture but more of a soap that lathers (and hence the name!). I personally prefer this texture over form. It creates a pretty good layer over skin and helps easy hair removal.

Contains Strawberries, cocoa butter, coconut oil and egg white. Quite power packed from a regular shaving cream. Leaves your skin uber moisturized, soft and smooth. It doesn't hinder the performance of your razor and glides on like a dream. A unisex product that can be used on armpits, legs etc..

USD32/AED120

Zest Hair Gelly : Fly away savior. We all know how annoying those fly aways can be, particularly when your trying to style your hair for an occasion. This product is of gloopy jelly consistency and works well to keep those tiny monsters at bay. Yes, this product also works well as a styling gel but i personally don't use gel on my hair for styling. 

USD34/AED125

Which one of these products are you thinking of bagging this Summer??

Valentines Day Special | Be your own Valentine!

Hello Angels

So how often does your boyfriend or husband get your VD gift right? If the answer is 'always', then gal your damn lucky! Else welcome to a more real world!

According to me, it is OK to pamper yourself! Not as a silly excuse to justify your shopping spree but on special occasions. Here are some gift ideas..

• Spa Day. Treat yourself to a relaxing Spa day or massage. Nothing like it
• Have an afternoon tea catch up with your girlfriend
• Getting yourself that one makeup item from your wishlist (Tell me what it would be??)
• Get yourself a real gift. How about Lush VD gift boxes? This year Lush has come up with beautiful gift boxes filled with some awesome treats. Below is one among them called the 'Neon Love'. It houses Turkish delight shower smoothie, From dusk till dawn massage bar and Neon love soap (cost $54) Prince Charming is another favorite of mine and a must have from Lush ( Click Here to read my review on Lush skincare). Good news for all UAE residents is that they do home delivery!! Spoil me more!!

• Be creative - Why not try these Caviar Luxe polish from Ciate? Aren't they gorgeous? Let me tell you these Caviar polishes are surely not for everyday use. They are for special occasions. So don't expect them to stay put for 12hr. I tested them for a whole day, and they remained intact for a good 4hr. The trick is to apply them perhaps on fingers which we tend to use or exert less pressure. These golden beads came with a silver paint pot. They look gorgeous! (cost $43)

So what are you getting yourself this Valentine?? Tried Caviar polishes before?

Top 5 Lush Skincare Products | Review

Hello Angels

We all follow a basic skincare routine or atleast wish to have one. Must have Skincare staples are cleanser, exfoliator and moisturizer. There are enumerous brands offering these today. One among my personal favourite is Lush. You can never go wrong with Lush products. They just get things spot on most of the times.

So here is my top 5 Lush skincare  products,  am absolutely loving at the moment....

Angels on Bare Skin - Fresh facial cleanser

This facial cleanser is fantastic. I use it 3 to 4 times a week. Take a pea size, lather using water to a paste or milk texture. The cleanser helps reduce redness (i got mine around the nose) and evens out skin tone bringing a healthy glow to skin. It leaves my skin uber soft (i prefer saying baby-like skin). 

Turkish Delight | Shower Smoothie

A quite famous and well known Lush product. Key ingredients being cocoa butter and almond oil, the semi liquid shower smoothie is a dream come true for me. My legs suffer from dryness the most. Turkish delight acts as a excellent moisturizer and leaves my skin silky smooth. I need not bother myself with a body cream after each shower. Surely i will continue using body creams but now i can afford to skip 'em occasionally!! (lazyhead)

Imperiaus | Facial moisturizer

Imperiaus does a more than just an OK job as a moisturizer. Not too think nor watery consistency. Honestly i use it more on my arms than face. The skin on my arms get really dry, perhaps from the air conditioning at work, where i tend to spend the most time. They look really dry and dead! I keep a small container of Imperiaus on my desk and apply as and when required. Does a decent job of 3 to 4 hours. Hands down...

Prince Charming | Shower Gel

I have tried Rosy Jam and Snow fairy by Lush. But this one is definitely the best of all. The consistency is different too, sightly more thick. The overwhelming combination of marshmallows, vanilla and pomegranate juice is sure to impress you staying true to its name!!!

9 to 5 | Cleansing lotion

My one common piece of beauty advice to all would be to use cleansing lotions over facial wipes! I cleanse my face in the morning, before hitting bed and whenever my skin feels a 'lil bit 'yuck'. This guy as become my absolute fav go to cleanser. Apply on face generously and then remove using a cotton pad. It leaves your skin feeling fresh and free from impurities. When am sure to have a long day, i slip one into my handbag. Available in small handbag friendly sizes too. 

As we near Valentines Day, i will also be reviewing some of Lush's VD special hampers. Hope you lovelies enjoyed the read. Which is your by far favorite Lush product?
