LUSH

Have I ever mentioned just how in love I am with Lush cosmetics?
No? Well, let’s just say I can’t bear to be without them. And after a little bout of not buying anything from them (I have a tendency to stock up) I hit their shop, and I hit it hard.

To my delight, the eco-friendly company has released its own line of foundations, the one make up essential I’ve never been able to get my head around. And to sweeten the deal, the light pink shade flatters my skin perfectly, and the product can be used neat as a foundation or a concealer or mixed in with moisturiser to give your skin a rosy tint. The product is made from such natural goodies as soya and rice bran oil, so is friendly to your skin and to the environment! The foundation comes in four colours: light pink, dark pink, light yellow and dark yellow. Yellow might sound bizarre to some, but it isn’t uncommon for the tint of your skin to be more yellow than pink.
And as well as the foundation, here’s just a few of my other purchase (also known as my face and body survival kit)
For my face I used to use a product known as Sweet Japanese Girl, which contained skin smoothing adouki beans, but unfortunately for me it’s been discontinued.

I have however discovered Coal Face, a soap containing coal and licorice. Yes Coal. A black soap that helps to unclog pores. And believe me it works.
My taste in soaps is very varied, but my favourites are:

Vanilla in the Mist, which has a lovely vanilla and cinder toffee smell and leaves my skin strokably soft! Plus vanilla is one of my favourite scents.

I also love the smell of mint, which is catered for by Demon in the Dark, an insanely fresh smelling soap that is always guaranteed to wake me up.

My other body saviour is running to the embassy, a minty fresh body butter that exfoliates and is just the thing for tired sore tootsies (seriously I think this saved my life during work experience) It’s also great for buffing dull, tired skin!
Lush cosmetics have pulled my skin out from every catastrophe it has hit, and their friendly staff are always on hand to recommend something to cure what ails me!
