It's Time to Have Fun with Lush Fun

Hi all,

Holidays are now in gear and I'm finally able to have some good fun! And what better way than to have fun with a new invention from Lush called Fun. I recently tested out this product in this Green scent and I am delighted with this product. The consistency of it is so unique as it is hard yet gooey. How cool?! And the packaging of this product is so bright and bubbly. You get a lot of uses out of this 4-in-1 product and I really enjoy this!

Well what is this product all about? According to Lush:

"A citrus burst of tangy lime and lemon essential oils will wake you up, keep you feeling fresh and focused and help you play for hours."

      

Lush Fun in Green contains lime and lemon essential oils which pack a punch and will definitely wake you up. This really refreshes you!

It is the ultimate body product as you can use it for a bubble bath, your hair, your body and for fun! It has many different uses which I love. In addition the Green scent smells so nice and refreshing, making it especially perfect for summer! When I put it in the bath, the water turned green with some bubbles. It was so relaxing to be in the bath but I felt so revitalised after, thanks to Lush! The citrus scent lingered on my skin and my skin felt hydrated, smooth and soft. It's like clay which you can mould into all different shapes.

         

How do you use it? You need to learn from the experts:

"Well, the first thing you will want to do with your Fun is get it out of its biodegradable wrapper and start having fun making it into models and shapes. There are so many ways to wash with Fun. For body and hair, just pinch off a small bit, hop in the shower or bath and lather from head to toe. Use as a bubble bath or to hand wash your clothes by crumbling a small chunk under the hot running tap. When you've finished having Fun, please store your bar back in its cellophane."

         

     

4 more days to V-Day! Lush Willow Soap

Hi everyone,

So there is four more days to Valentine's Day and I have got the perfect product to prepare you for a great day and night! It is the Lush Willow Soap. The look of this soap is really nice. It looks really elegant and romantic. I love the delicate look of it. Something that stood out to me about this soap is the texture and consistency of it. Willow Soap feels really moisturizing, reminding me much of Lush's massage bars. It is more thick which I really do enjoy! The word that best describes this soap is creamy. It is super creamy! The soap is rose, silician lemon and rosewood. It's oh so romantic! The scent is so romantic. To me, all I smell is musk! It is so reminiscent of Musk Livesavers, but more elegant and mature. The soap lathers really nicely on your skin. Afterwards my skin felt really smooth and soft. Also my skin felt quite moisturised as well. Love this because you can't get that from many soaps. This is perfect to prepare for a great Valentine's Day. The scent lingers on your skin for a while, so you can still smell it afterwards. I love the delicate look and scent of the product! It is so romantic and elegant. I love it. I definitely recommend this for some pre - Valentine's Day pampering or a last-minute gift!
This product retails for $8.50 from Lush or on www.lush.com.au

What's New from Le Tan! Review

Hi all,
I have a couple of new products from, one of my favourite brands, Le Tan. I really love this brand and I think that these products are so great!
The first product is the Le Tan SPF30+ Fragrance Free Sunscreen Oil. It works to hydrate and moisturise the skin but also protects against the sun's UVA and UVB rays. The packaging of this product is really cute and unique and reminds me so much of Summer. The formulation is fast absorbing and protects, hydrates and nourishes your skin to help prevent peeling and dryness. Although it is fragrance free, the sunscreen oil smells quite nice. The scent is very very feint. The product is quite easy to use and apply. The oil is thick when you first dispense it, but it thins out when you rub it in. I really like this. The sunscreen oil has moisturising properties which assist in the prevention of premature ageing. Wow, this is great. The product is really hydrating but it is not oily. This aspect is really important as I really dislike when sunscreen oils leave an oily residue. The product worked great for me. I felt protected from the sun and my skin was very moisturised. This product retails for $10.99.

The next product is Le Tan SPF30+ Daily Face Sheer Tint. This is a tinted moisturising face sunscreen which provided broad-spectrum protection for the face. This help nourish, protect and prevent premature ageing of the skin caused by UV exposure. The packaging is nice and simple and I quite like it. This product is a 3-in-1 which is great as it is a moisturiser, sunscreen and tint all in one! The consistency of this product is so nice and thin as you really let's your skin breathe. The tint looks really nice and natural and I feel like my skin is really hydrated. The product gives a matte finish, is suitable for all skin types and can be worn either alone or under make-up. How great is this?! Also it is fragrance free and paraben free and is suitable for sensitive skin. It is non-greasy and provided my skin sun protection, hydration and a nice tint. I really like it!
This product retails for $11.99.

Both of these products are fantastic and can be purchased from leading grocery stores, selected discount department stores (Priceline and Kmart) and pharmacies nationally.

Gorgeous Ecostore Coconut Soap!

Hi everyone,

 

Prior to trying out the soap, I have never heard of the brand Ecostore. I love this brand! Ecostore comes from New Zealand and makes products which are better for your own health and the health of the planet. I just love this idea! Ecostore's Coconut Soap is delicious. The packaging is super cute and looks homemade and adorable. The soap itself is nice and simple. One feature that really influences whether I like a body product is the scent. This soap is scrumptious. It smells creamy and very much like coconut. This product is really creamy and lathers up nicely. Coconut Soap contains strands of coconut to gently exfoliate the skin which is great. This soap is plant and mineral based which cleanses and nourishes the skin but doesn't remove the skin's natural protective oils. Also the product uses vegetable oils instead of commonly used animal fats. It contains no nasty ingredients at all. Afterwards, my skin felt so smooth and soft, as well as nourished. The scent is great, their are no nasty ingredients and it benefits my skin greatly! I love it!

Lush Christmas! The Melting Snowman

Hi all,

So Christmas is practically around the corner. And I'm so excited!
Lush has the most exciting Christmas products ever! One of these is The Melting Snowman. The Melting Snowman is one of their luxury bath melts. And trust me, this is luxurious. The packaging of this products is super cute! It literally looks like a melting snowman. To be honest, I didn't like the smell of the actually product. HOWEVER, when I put it in the bath, it smelt DIVINE. I loved it. The melt contains a blend of oils including vanilla absolute and sweet wild orange. The gives the product its deep marzipan fragrance with notes of rich fruit. It reminds me of Christmas cakes and cookies. Yummo! And it smells exactly like Snowcake soap. If you love that soap, then you have to get your hands on this melt! The formula is made of water-softening bicarbonate of soda, cocoa butter and shea butter. The chocolate was so tempting to eat! The heat gets to the product and melts away. After that, the melt releases those brilliant butter through the water. My skin was so moisturised and still felt hydrated and soft afterwards. I absolutely loved this. Also the scent lingered on my skin afterwards. This was the first bath melt I have tried and it was so superb. Way to go, Lush!

Beauty Bubs: Billie Baby Products

Hi to all the mums out there,
I have two great products for your bubs that both of you will enjoy. Billie Baby offers some great products for babies that really benefit their skin.
The first product is the Billie Baby Moisturiser. The key ingredient in this product is the skin-loving Goat's Milk. I have talked about the benefits of this ingredient in a post which you can check out here! This moisturiser is specifically formulated for babies with sensitive skin. The packaging is really cute, bubbly and colourful, perfect to go in a nursery. The formula has no fragrance, no colour and contains organic ingredients. I think this is so good for babies. The moisturiser also has colloidal oatmeal and vitamin e which are both fantastic ingredients in moisturising and nourishing the skin. The consistency is really nice and lightweight. I love it! Also, the scent of the product isn't too bad and is actually nice. Billie Baby Moisturiser really nourished my skin and made it so soft and smooth. I really enjoyed it as my skin was greatly hydrated.
RRP $14.95

The next product is the Billie Baby Butt Cream. The key ingredient in the product is also Goat's Milk which I strongly enjoy. The packaging of this cream is again cute and unique and is packaged in a jar, which I like. This cream is ideal for providing soothing relief from nappy rash, heat rash or irritated skin. It really creates a soothing barrier on newborn skin. The butt cream contains all-natural ingredients, as well as no fragrance and no colour, which is really nice. I really like the consistency of the cream as it is thick yet lightweight. The scent is the same as the moisturiser and is quite nice. Billie Baby But Cream really moisturises the skin and makes the skin so smooth and soft. This is a great pair with the moisturiser.
RRP $14.95

These two products are really good for babies. I recommend to any mummies for their bubs! They also make perfect baby shower gifts. You can purchase these products from all good pharmacies, health & gift stores, Myer, David Jones and Babies R Us.
