Below are
some of my favourite products from Lush for the month of August. For as long as I can
remember I have always been turning to LUSH and their beautiful natural
products for my kids and myself. And I have just found some more products on LUSH's online store that I have to make mine, and share with you. You can have a look at their site here.
Lush
Cosmetics has a range of beautiful products that are ideal for new mums and
their newborns.
With gentle ingredients and soothing oils, the below items are
some of Lush’s global customer favourites for babies, new mums and mums-to-be.
Now I am not up the duff just yet, but it is on the cards. My youngest daughter
is still my baby, only just turning two I am not ready to get again; YET!
But with saying
that my youngest daughter has very sensitive skin, and I don’t stray from
anything I wouldn’t use on a newborn as this seems to work best with her skin.
So here are a
few Lush products I can’t live without now l have tried them, and to be quite
frank I wont live without!!!
Dreamwash shower smoothie ($25.95 for 250g) … is a soothing, healing cream body wash that helps
reduce redness and works to soften and cleanse the skin. This gentle body wash
is ideal for babies as it is full of calming oils, including calamine powder
and soothing aloe vera gel, as well as rose absolute, chamomile, tea tree and
lavender, all of which have very balancing effects for the skin. Its creamy
formulation leaves the skin feeling super soft.
For me this is something completely different, to have a wash/smoothie in a
tub. Fair enough I have had creams and balms in a tub but this is a super cute
idea, and it is fantastic to store. Plus there is NEVER any shaking the bottle of
having it sit upside down so you get every little drop of the product. Lush’s
packaging is made from recycled plastic and is fully recyclable afterwards as
well. I think they have little promotions on here and there, if you take 6
packaging back they give you something free (at the moment it is a face mask.)
This smells similar to the Dream Cream just with a small difference I
cannot get my nose around. Of course they will have slightly different scents,
as one is a cream and the other a wash type product.
But for me the huge highlight is the result when using the Dreamwash and
teaming it up with the Dream Cream. Not only do my kids and I smell great, I am
left with baby skin while the girls baby skin is maintained. Since using these
two products together we have never had the problem of dry skin. So this means
this product will HAVE to come to QLD on the family holiday to prevent any dry
skin.
Dream Cream ($29.95 for 240g) … Lush’s
self claimed global best-selling body lotion, is full of gentle
ingredients such as oat milk, chamomile, rose, tea tree and lavender, so is
ideal for soothing skin irritations or dryness on newborns.
For me I love the pure natural smell of this and I can really smell the
lavender. Having grown up around my Grandma (who is no longer with us) that loved
Lavender, for me this is a reminder of her and a smell I really hold close to
me. Not only do I use this on my kids and get great results I also use it on
myself! The bonus of these products is you get products that are suitable for newborns
and sensitive skin, they can be used on any of the family. Whereas if you get
an adult product, it is just used for adults because the chances are the
ingredients are too harsh for babies and kiddies skin.
Vanilla Puff dusting powder ($10.95) … Nappy rash is caused by moisture
being close to the skin for too long, causing irritation. A Lush dusting powder can be the perfect
way to keep bub dry after a wash and nappy change. Vanilla Puff is an extension of
our range of vanilla products, which have become massively popular across the
world. A dusting with vanilla, jasmine and tonka results in softer skin that
smells like vanilla pudding. Each pot of 'Puff' has real vanilla pods
that infuse as you use it. Vanilla helps the skin to retain moisture and
gives Vanilla Puff its delicious creamy candy fragrance. Vegan.
Now this is my all time favourite product to date!!!! And I am not paid
to say this, nor do I feel the need to talk a product up. I am a blogger and a
blogger is entitled to their opinion with no need for sugar coating.. What type
of blogger would I be if I recommended shity products?
Like I said above no product gets ANY better then this, and I will be
stocking up on this for the next bubs. But even before I do that I will be
stocking up for both the girls, and I as this is the best smelling product I
have put on my skin in the two years of blogging!!
The texture is really lovely and not like your usually body talc or
powder, and is so much more safer then either of them! It actually
reminds me of the volume powder you use on your hair, that has been ground
right down into the finest powder form.
Using this at nappy time can also be a relief for me, as it rids my
daughter’s bottom of both the smell but also dries her skin up giving it a
breather. So many benefits and uses in one small bottle, I love it.
I also use this powder on myself as soon as I get out of the shower and
all over my body. I have even used it on my partners feet when he gets home as
they STINK like nothing you have smelt before.
Honestly and truly, I cannot talk up this product as much as I deserves.
This is 100% going to be used until they discontinue or sell out completely.
AND NOW FOR THE MAIN ATTRACTION AND MY KIDS FAV FROM LUSH.......
A few weeks ago I was
introduced to a fantastic product FUN, the latest invention from LUSH
Fresh Handmade Cosmetics. I am actually wondering if this is the only kind of
bath product out like this yet (until imposters start following the trend lol.)
FUN ($9.50 for 250g)
FUN is going to
revolutionise bath time – think a novel, multi-purpose, mouldable soap!
It’s for your body, hair, bath and fun! That’s right you can wash your hands
and body with it; you can bathe with it for masses of bubbles; you can wash your
clothes with it; and for even more fun you can mold it into shapes and
characters.
I don’t know who has more
FUN with this product, the girls or myself. We were sent a little sample and
have had so much fun with the little bugger! My eldest daughter has made
snakes, snowmen and even a little ant town with her soap. She has also informed
me that this is wayyyy better then playdoh J And Mummy also agrees as it gets me girls clean at the same time.
I have found it quite hard
to get the girls to wash their hands for the ten seconds, to remove the
majority of the germs and bacteria. But now thanks to LUSH and FUN my job has
been made all that much easier. Actually to be honest I find it more of a task
to move my 5yo away from the sink and FUN soap. Which I don’t find all that bad
as the ingredients made to use this soap are not in any way harsh on their
skin.
With a gentle softening
base of corn flour, talc and glycerine, There are five different types of FUN
to choose from - or why not take them all, as you’ll need one of each color for
making your FUN characters. This product, like most of LUSH’S products is Vegan
friendly.
YELLOW FUN: Creamy vanilla tones and
gardenia extract gives this bundle a comforting marzipan aroma.
GREEN FUN: A citrus burst of tangy lime and
lemon essential oils that will make you feel refreshed and focused.
BLUE FUN: Relax and feel ready for sleep
when you wash with this mix of lavender and chamomile blue essential oils. The
perfect bedtime bath; also great for irritated skin.
RED FUN: A fruity combination of orange
and mandarin oils that will revitalize the mind and bring a bit of summer sun
to the bath.
We were sent the red FUN to try, and I LOVE the smell. Although I don’t
know that it would be my absolute favourite, as I read through these colours
and scents I get a little excited and even more eager to head to my LUSH store. But the red, has a
really summery, zesty kind of kick to it. And one I think I will appreciate a
whole lot more come the hotter months.
PINK FUN: A sweet treat with ice-cream
scented tonka absolute and benzoin resinoid, which also has warming qualities
to help stimulate circulation.
Also another thing I feel I
need to touch base on is the awesome things LUSH does for the less fortunate.
And buying some FUN will provide a little FUN to the less fortunate. They are
making it their mission to spread the fun to those who need it most, children
living in challenging environments. A portion of the global sales
(approximately 2.5%) of FUN will go into a newly created Fun and will be
distributed as grants to projects providing recreational activities for
children living in difficult surroundings.
FUN is available in all Lush shops nationwide.
