That Girl Is Such A Lush!

As my first real blog post, I want to introduce you to my very favorite thing on the planet. I'm sure most of you have heard of the brand before, but if you somehow missed the memo, then get on this band wagon.



Lush USA has, literally, changed my life. I know it might sound crazy, but I'm serious! A little over a year ago, I walked into my local mall and came across a little kiosk full of all kinds of sweet treats... not edible sweet treats, but treats for my tub. It was overwhelming. I wanted one of everything! Unfortunately, one of everything was not in my budget, so I made three choices and headed home. Best decision ever.

Taking a bath with a LUSH product is a little bit of heaven right here on earth. The products are handmade. They are also mostly vegan and preservative free! One of my favorite thing about Lush products, is the price. Although they have some products that are WAY too expensive for me (however, totally worth it if you want to splurge!), my favorite items are all UNDER TEN DOLLARS! Under, I say! You can visit the site yourself, of course, and find some really great things for some really great prices at http://www.lushusa.com . If you are overwhelmed like I was at first, and don't know what to choose, maybe I can assist you... with my top 3 Lush products under $10!

 

1.Pheonix Rising (Bath Bomb, $6.95)

First let me say that all of the Bath Bombs are really big. The picture is a little deceiving, as it makes it look a little small. It's not. You can use it all at one (like I do), or even cut it in half and have two baths out of it! This particular bomb turns your bathwater a lovely shade of purple. It smells just like cinnamon apples (yes, that is a cinnamon stick on the top). The best part of the bombs is that the amazing scents linger on your skin all day. They aren't terribly strong or overpowering, but just enough that if somebody was getting up close and personal, they would be able to smell the scent on your skin. Another draw for me, is that this bomb releases a little bit of shimmer into your bathwater. When you finish, you feel relaxed, delicious, and glowy. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

 

2. Sunny Side (Bubble Bar, $7.25)

When you break this bar up under running water, prepare to be amazed. Your bathwater looks like liquid gold. It is absolutely beautiful. If you like a more summery, citrusy scent, this is for you! Keep in mind, if you purchase this bubble bar, be prepared to shimmer for a few day. The shimmer in this bar does linger a little longer on the skin, but it's actually really pretty.

 

and finally...

 

 

3. Twilight (Bath Bomb, $6.25)

If you haven't already picked up on it, I REALLY like glitz. Shimmer, Glitter, Rhinestones... I love it all. If you are anything like me (addicted to glitter) this is the bomb for you. The website says that Twilight smells of lavender, which it does, but to me it smells like a sugary sweet lavender candy. And again, the scent will linger on your skin long after your tub has been drained. This one also turns your water a pale purple shade. It is also the most relaxing bomb I've used, definitely try this one if you have trouble getting to sleep! But my absolute favorite part, is the millions of glitter flecks swirling around my bathwater. If you don't want to leave the tub looking a little bit disco diva-y, then this might not be your best bet. The glitter was still on my skin and in my hair the rest of the day! You can also wrap your bath bomb in nylon before putting into the tub to keep the glitter from escaping if you don't want to be covered in it the rest of the day... but it kind of takes the fun out of it!

 

 

Hopefully this post was at least enough to pique your interest! Even if you don't like my top 3, you'll be happy with any LUSH purchase. Everything they make is wonderful. But don't take it from me, try it out for yourself! Happy shopping!
