Lush, Lush, Lush!

I only recently found out about Lush and now I cannot get enough. My first experience was a gift of a soap and ballistic. Oh so good! Then a friend kept on and on about these massage bars. So we went to Lush and now…..I’m hooked!

My first purchase was a present a bit before Christmas. I chose the Tiny Hands massage bar. After smelling it every day in my house before I gifted it, I had to get one of my own. Being around Christmas time I could not find it anywhere. I was told it was very popular and all 3 Lush’s that I went to were sold out.

This week we….

It’s been a busy few weeks here at The Makeup Case. We have learn’t somethings we used to be scared of…Fishtail Braids. I am loving them now, and can do them so quicky, maybe even with my eyes closed! We also treated our skin to some beautiful products from Lush, our bathrooms love them as well beause it makes them smell delicious! I also made some sweet vodka soaked cherries, stay tuned for the recipe. I know it is not exactly beauty related but they look beautiful and taste amazing.

The Makeup Case is also running our very first giveaway, a beautiful pendent from Uberkate! Competition closes on December 2nd 2011 so still plenty of time to spread the word and get those entires in. We have some amazing comments on the giveaway post and we can not wait to let you guys know who the lucky winner will be.

And, just incase you are wondering what I am doing on this lovely summer day (and I just know that you want to) I am having fun crawling through mud and running from cows! No seriously, I am..check it out.

Hope you are all have a great weekend.

Love and Lollies,

Lush Have It!

Everyone tells me how much they love Lush but I have never bought or used anything from there. So when I was given some Lush products as a gift I was relly excited. I think my problem was that whenever I was drawn into the shop, by that amazing smell, I was overwhelmed by the choice. Hence, I looked and smelled everything but did not know what to buy, so I leave empty handed.

So…..I have not tried my little gift pack yet but it’s making my bathroom smell delicious. I received

• A Butterball Bath Ballistic, skin softening, vanilla scented, sweet and lovely. Having a 15month old baby girl I don’t often get time to relax in the bath but I’ll make time so i can try this.

• Honey I washed the Kids Soap, this claims to scent my body with honey toffee. Judging from the smell I don’t think it will disappoint.

I also want to try the Massage Bars, I hear these smell terrific and make your skin silky smooth, and the Stepping Stone for feet, I can not get enough of foot scrub products and good ones are hard to find. I may have to spoil myself with an early Christmas present. Stay tuned for the results of my first Lush experience.

You can check out all the products at Lush or find your nearest shop.

An oldy but a goodie..

Lately I have been wearing lots and lots of lipstick and lipgloss that my poor lips are in need of some attention. They are dry and rough at the same time and really need a good exfoliation to make them smooth and luscious again (okay, that might be taking it a bit far). I am sure you lipstick loving girls out there know what I am talking about, holla.

Then one night an amazing flash back come to me..I had the very thing I needed to make all this go away, and the product was sitting right in my bathroom draw. I don’t know how I could have forgotten about this little product, considering I see it everyday when I take out my toothpaste. The little miracle that I am ranting on about is Lush Lip Scrub in the sweet Bubblegum flavour.

Lush Lip Scrub is such a sweet product, I’m serious, sweet tooth beauties out there beware, you maybe inclined to eat it. Not only does it smell incredibly delicious it also contains organic jojoba oil and exfoliating castor sugar to erase all that rough skin, leaving your lips feeling soft, smooth and ready for more lipstick.

And it’s so easy, all you need to do is scrap a little scrub on your finger and rub it over your lips. When you are finished rinse it off with water, I also like to apply a lip balm after just to make my lips feel extra special.

HOT TIP: If you need a good exfoliator in a hurry and have no time to go to the shops, you can whip up one at home. All you need to do is mix a teaspoon of honey with some raw sugar and there you have it, a home-made lip exfoliator. This one is also good enough to eat!

RRP: $9.95 for Bubblegum, Sweet Lips or Mint Julips flavour. Available from all Lush stores.
