Recently I tried the Big Blue bath bomb from Lush, which costs £3.20. It contains lavender and lemon oil, as well as seaweed and sea salt. It smelt really nice and turned the bath water deep blue. According to Lush, this bathbomb is supposed to replicate a tropical sea (hence the seaweed!), and it certainly did feel very refreshing, leaving my skin very soft. The only thing I didn't like about this product is that the seaweed was such a pain to get out of the bath tub afterwards! For that reason, I'm not sure I would buy this bath bomb again when Lush offers many more bath bombs which aren't so messy.
I think this video below says everything there is to know about the brands ethics! I personally think it's a bit uncomfortable to watch but it is a very important message they are trying to promote.
When the Lush consultant was taking me through the different types of cleansers they had on offer, I am going to be totally honest and say that my ears definitely pricked up when she said that this is the one that didn't require any water! I was truthful and said I am pretty lazy about skincare late at night when I'm tired, so I put 9 - 5 next to my bed and used it just as I settled down in bed for the night. I like using this more than cleansing wipes, as this feels more moisturising on my skin. It has a lovely fresh scent and takes my make-up off easily and quickly. I would definitely get this again.
Skin Drink is made from organic sesame oil, almond oil, evening primrose oil and cocoa butter. I was advised that this is good for dry skin, so that was the main reason I bought it. It feels a little bit greasy after application, which quickly sunk in and left my skin feeling hydrated for a few hours afterwards. However, the effects didn't last all day and I regularly had to re-apply once again throughout the day when I felt my skin getting dry again. I thought it was ok but I'm not in a hurry to go out and buy it again, I am currently thinking of other moisturisers I can try next. Both products are suitable for vegans and you can find your nearest Lush store here
