Lush | My Favourites

Lush is one of my all time favourite brands you can get on the high street, cheap prices for brilliant organic products, and products for everything you could want! Before I start, I should let you know that I have oily/combination spot prone skin, so a lot of the facial products are aimed to control this.

POPCORN LIP SCRUB: £5.50
ENZYMION MOISTURISER: £13.50
CUPCAKE FACE MASK: £5.95
AYESHA FACE MASK: £5.95
BIG SEA SALT SHAMPOO: £11.50
TEA TREE TONER WATER: £3.95
GREASE LIGHTNING SPOT TREATMENT: £5.95

Popcorn Lip Scrub
Okay so you could probably make this yourself, but for £5.50, I would rather just go for this popcorn scented delight for my lips. It helps buff away any dead or flaky skin on your lips, leaving a perfect base for a balm and then colour.

Enzymion Moisturiser
My everyday moisturiser, helps keep my oily skin at bay without drying out my dryish patches. It does have a smell, but it doesn't irritate my skin - however if you think this might be a problem for you, might be best to ask for a sample first!

Cupcake Facemask
Cupcake is a great face mask for unclogging pores and keeping your skin clear. It smells amazing, a mixture of chocolate and peppermint, which makes in a top choice to smear all over my face. It absorbs excess oil, and claims to keep breakouts at a minimum. I got about 3/4 uses of this mask, so for just under £6, I thought it was a bargain for the results.

Ayesha Facemask
Another great face mask, clay based this time, which helps leave skin radiant and refreshed by deep cleaning all your pores, leaving everything fresh and clean. Again at only £5.95 you can't go wrong, and you get a good 3 to 4 uses of this mask depending on how generously you apply it.

Big Sea Salt Shampoo
When I felt this product, I've got to say I was surprised at how big the segments of sea salt were and I thought it would make my hair dry and broken. However mixed with water, it in fact makes for the softest texture I've felt in an organic shampoo! It leaves my hair feeling nourished, with amazing volume, not to mention the incredible fresh smell! A new discovery, but already a favourite.

Tea Tree Toner Water
This product leaves my skin feeling clean, and tea tree has always been one of my favourite scents, and its antibacterial properties help keep spots at bay, which is big must for me! I use it whenever I feel like my skin needs refreshing, and my skin quite literally drinks this product up!

Grease Lightning Spot Treatment
This is a miracle product, the best spot treatment I've ever used, and one that actually works! The concept is, you put it on an active breakout, and it works to calm the spot, reducing the swelling and softening any redness.  It works slowly but effectively, and if you're willing to wait, it will not only reduce the spot itself, but any scarring as well.

So these are my favourite products from Lush! However I most definitely not done trying the whole shop. What are your favourites?

Biore Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips | Review

I have never used anything from the Biore Range before these nose strips, so this is not in any way a review for the brand as a whole. I purchased these 'nose strips' from Superdrug whilst they were on sale for £5 (usually they are £7.99) because I seriously needed to find a way to clear up the blackheads on my nose. Disgusting I know, but what do you expect from a post relating to nose strips! I had heard good things about the brand, but as I mentioned, had never tried anything from their range before, so decided to add them to my basket and before I knew it, the postman brought them to my house ready for me to try.

The strips came with easy to follow instructions which made the whole 'nose strip' process (which is new to me, I'll admit) surprisingly easy. You first wet your nose, I just wetted a flannel and held it on my nose for a while, and (obviously) after removing the plastic, just placed it on my nose, sticky/smooth side down. One thing I will say, I get the feeling I placed mine a little to high, because the strip was a little too close to the thin skin under your eye for comfort, so bear this in mind when applying yours!

I then spent a happy ten minutes watching some of my favourite youtubers...wonderfulyou, lily mel rose & fleurdeforce to name a few... and then came the most exciting moment of it all; the peel.

I'm not quite sure what I was expecting when I peeled it off, but something I was not expecting, is that it was actually a little bit painful. To be fair, this could be due to me placing it too high, or just not being careful enough, but I put on my bravest face and peeled off the strip. Now I don't mean to make anyone feel queasy, but I could literally see the blackheads being pulled out of my skin. No pain no gain has never been truer. The results were brilliant! The strip was not the prettiest beauty product I've owned once I'd finished with it, but the skin around my nose looked so much clearer. Not only has it helped my appearance, but this product has been great for keeping my oily tendencies at bay!

Would I purchase again?
Definitely. This is not a product I will be using on a daily basis, but yes I will definitely be repurchasing! You can buy them here from Superdrug.

Hope this was useful for some of you, let me know what you think of nose strips!
Lots of Love, Rozzi xxx
