Lush Reviews

OK, I lied in my last post. I completely forgot about two products that I LOVED. Loved so much I will be buying them again after I run out. That is rare for me, I usually just find something new.

Sorry for the really small pictures! This is "Big Shampoo"  and "American Cream Conditioner" from Lush. I absolutely love these products and I definitely recommend them to anyone. I was skeptical at first when I got out of the shower because my hair felt really weird. Like it was going to be really tangled. I brushed it out and blow dried it and just fell in love. The next day at work I was getting compliments on my new highlights and I haven't gotten highlights in MONTHS. My hair was shiney and so soft! Not to mention, the way it smelled. Oh. My. Gosh. My hair smells like a vanilla milkshake and I never get tired of it. Even if I shower and wash my hair at night and then sleep on, at 9:00 the next night, after working all day, I can still smell the vanilla in my hair.


If you are lucky enough to live near a Lush store, go in and get samples. I have had hit and miss experiences with Lush so for shampoos and skincare products I always get samples first. I don't have a problem buying the bath bombs and and soaps, things like that, but if it is expensive, its best to make sure you like it first and I LOVE that Lush will give you so many samples. 


Also, I just want to say that the people that work at the Lush on Michigan Avenue are the nicest people I have ever come in contact with! They are amazing.


Anyways, I have never ordered online from Lush so I am not sure if they take products back or are good with refunds... You would have to read the fine print I guess.

It has been a long time!

It has been way too long since I have updated this blog. Since I last updated, we moved to Chicago and started our new jobs. Our jobs are going really well, we are both enjoying them so much more than our last jobs! With the move, new jobs, and settling in, I haven't had a lot of time to shop.


The one product that I have bought that I love is Revlon's Colorstay Foundation. I have always bought (not to sound snobby at all) more expensive make up like Smashbox and Bare Escentuals but those brands were just getting kind of.. Eh. I wasn't enjoing them like I used to and my skin was starting to break out a lot more.


I am not claiming that using this foundation has cut down on my breakouts because it is some miracle liquid.. But I am saying that I have noticed less breakouts since I have been using it. Whether it is the foundation, or my skin's adaptation to a new enviroment, is up for debate.


Not to mention the coverage. I love how creamy and easy to blend this foundation is.


I now know that I can get better results with a ten dollar foundation than I was with thirty plus dollars foundation.
I know that my hubby likes the difference in price! 


I hope everyone is having a fabulous Thursday night. Thursdays are my favorite time of the week because I have the day off work and Grey's Anatomy is on! Lol
