My First Lush Purchase




We went shopping today to get my daughter a dress for her first Sweetheart Dance & I was so excited to see Lush products in Macy's. I've heard so much about them on YouTube. I didn't get much & haven't tried any of them yet because I just got home a little over an hour ago but I wanted to share what I purchased and will update you once I've used the products to let you know what I think.

Here's what the Lush website says about them.
We believe in making effective products from fresh, organic* fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics.

We invent our own products and fragrances. We make them fresh by hand using little or no preservative or packaging, using only vegetarian ingredients, and tell you when they were made.

We believe in buying ingredients only from companies that do not commission tests on animals and in testing our products on humans.

We believe in happy people making happy soap, putting our faces on our products and making our mums proud.

We believe in long candlelit baths, sharing showers, massage, filling the world with perfume and in the right to make mistakes, lose everything and start again.

We believe our products are good value, that we should make a profit and that the customer is always right.

The items pictured Left to Right are Summer Pudding soap, Dream Cream Body Lotion & Blackcurrant Bubbles Bubble Bar. The Summer Pudding soap smells soooo yummy.
"Ground Almonds

Mixing ground almonds into Summer Pudding gives a unique texture and exfoliates the skin when you wash your hands or body.

Glace Cherries

The cherry tree is known for its fragrant, white blossoms, which are followed by bright red fruits, sour cherries. We use cherries in Summer Pudding to create the visual effect of a real dessert."

The Dream Cream doesn't have much of a scent as far as what I can smell (which isn't much). The sales girl said it is their best seller by far. She said it is great for problem skin or just winter dry skin.

"Calming and dreamy.

Incredibly soothing body lotion for troubled skin. Dream Cream is LUSH's best-selling product because it makes sore skin feel good again. Chamomile and lavender calm irritations, reduce redness and banish blotches. Mark considers it his favourite product because it makes so many people so happy.
Mark's favourite.

We also use oat milk, too, which has traditionally been used on troubled skin for centuries. It contains everything nature makes for soothing your skin.
Rose and lavender

Rose and lavender essential oils are calming for irritated, suffering skin."

Finally the Blackcurrant Bubbles Bubble Bar is what my 9 yr old daughter picked out for herself. She loved the smell & chose it out of all that they had there.

"This fruity bubble bar gives the feeling of being hugged by a jolly blackcurrant. When life is getting you down, crumble The Comforter under hot, running water for purple water and creamy bubbles. It was created to bring a real sense of comfort to people, just like a real comforter (or scarf) would."

I have no doubt that I will love these products. They are a bit on the pricey side but are made to last a long time. The sales girl said the dream cream should last 4-5 months and the bar of soap will last longer than a typical bar of soap. The bubble bar is good for about 3 bubble baths! For you local ladies, West County Mall & the Galleria are the only places in St. Louis that you can purchase Lush products.
