Review: The Color Workshop: Lip glosses

Today I will review some lip glosses by The Color Workshop that I bought a few weeks ago.

The Color Workshop is a cheap make-up brand that you can buy at some drugstores (Kruidvat and Trekpleister) in the Netherlands.

The prices of their products are low, but the quality isn't that great either.

I bought a set of lip glosses for a few euro's (probably didn't cost me more than €2,-).

Each lip gloss contains 3,3 ml of gloss, and sadly, there aren't any names or numbers on it to tell you what color it is :S.

Anyway, I have a clear gloss and a peach gloss with glitters and shimmer :D.

The clear gloss looks really clear on my lips:

It doesn't feel sticky and the lasting power is ok.

I think this one is nice to wear over a lipstick.

I like the shimmery peach a lot better!

It isn't as pigmented as I hoped it would be, but it does give my lips a bit of colour and some nice shimmer :D.

(Sorry for the blurry pic, but it shows the colour well, and also the shimmer!).

The colour is subdued and the shimmer isn't too much, so this gloss is great for wearing to work or school and when you can't/don't want to wear too much make-up.

The glosses smell sweet and fruity (which I like) and aren't sticky.

Also they last longer than I expected.

Pro's:

*cheap

*nice smell

*non-sticky

*lasts long enough

*nice subtle gloss

Con's:

*even though it's cheap, the glosses are very small!

*there aren't any numbers or names on the glosses to tell you which colour it is

*the glosses are a bit difficult to open

*they aren't very pigmented, so if that's what you are looking for this isn't for you.

Conslusion: cheap lip gloss that smells nice and looks ok. They aren't sticky and last ok, but the glosses are small and don't have any name/numbers and aren't very pigmented.

This probably isn't suited for most people, but it's nice if you don't like to wear make-up very often and want it to be subtle, and also to give to children/teenagers as their first lip gloss.

Rating: I would rate this a 6, since it ain't bad but not good either.

Would I buy this product again: no.

Have you tried anything by The Color Workshop?

Until next time,

Freya

Summer's here: Favourite Summer Products Part 1

I live in The Netherlands where the weather's usually cold and rainy, even in the summer.

However, at the moment this is not the case.

The last couple of weeks it has been HOT HOT HOT in Holland, with temperatures alternating between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius and sometimes even more.

Needless to say, us Dutchies are having a hard time getting used to this.

At first you'd see people wearing jeans and jackets and just way to much clothes on their backs.

Now, girls are walking around in tiny shorts (and when I say tiny I mean TINY), barely there tops and skirts and summery, floaty and often short dresses and tunics.

Even the guys no longer refuse to wear shorts (a lot of them opt to wear those hawaian shorts :S ).

Myself, I had to adjust as well.I digged through my wardrobe to finds some clothes to fit this weather.

I'm usually a jeans and t-shirt gal, but now that's not an option.

Now I wear dresses and skirts (though not too short when I'm not at home) and shorts and tops.

The first week I tried to wear leggings underneath those shorts, skirts and dresses, but that turned out to be too hot, so I stopped being stubborn and I let the world (or at least my town) see my legs (eeeeeks!!!).

Since this weather makes us show more skin, some preparation is in order.

First of all, it's important to scrub your body (and your face) well.

This makes your skin glow, makes your skin feel soft and makes your tan look better (if you are able to get a tan, which I can't :P ).

Body Scrubs I like to use:

*Sugar Babe (Lush)

A coarse sugar scrub that smells like clean babies and makes your skin extremely soft. It's the best scrub I have ever used!!!

*You Snap The Whip (Lush)

This is also a coarse one.

I cut it into small blocks (approx 12 blocks, and I use about 3 blocks to scrub my whole body) so I can get more uses out of it.

This has the smell of The Comforter (a delicious berry scent) and makes your skin extremely soft and sweet smelling.

*Pure Coconut Oil Leg And Body Scrub (Inecto)

This one smells like coconut, obviously and is a milder scrub than the others.

It's convenient because it's in a tube which makes it perfect to take with you on holiday (or to the gym, or your boyfriend's house) or to use when you're in a hurry.

Like I said, this one has a much milder scrub, but still scrubs well enough.

It also hydrates your skin with coconut oil and makes your skin feels mooth and smell like coconut :D (yummy summer scent!).

*Smooch! sugar scrubs (Villainess)

Great scrubs that can be coarse or less coarse depending on which Smooch! you have. There are a lot of diffent scents, which also have different ingredients and scrubby bits, some are barely scrubby though, so be careful to buy the right one for you!

My favourite Smooches! are Ginger Snapped, as pictured above, which is a regular product.

It smells like Dutch speculaas cookies, spicy and sweet, and it scrubs very well but not as coarse as Sugar Babe or YSTW.

When you rinse it of it turns into a milk that makes your skin silky soft, and the scent also lingers after showering.

Most Smooches by Villainess also have a Whipped! (whipped body butter) with a matching scent.

I also like Smashing Smooch! (a spice pumpkin pie scent) and Gloop! Smooch! (marshmellow and chocolate scented), but those are both special editions that aren't available at this time.

Favourite Face Scrubs:

*Silk & Cyanide Smooch! (Villainess)

This is a Smooch! that's made especially for using on your face.

You stir the contents of your jar with a spoon (or your finger :) ) and then apply an amount the size of a strawberry on your dry face (with dry hands) and massage it in.

Then apply some water on your face and massage some more.

The scrub will turn into some kind of milk and your skin will feel soft, scrubbed an moisturised.

It is a greasy scrub that tuns into a milk in contact with water, and it doesn't leave your skin greasy at all. Just moisturised.

This Smooch! smells strongly and sweet of almonds, but there are also other face Smooches! by Villainess with different scents.

Other Available scents are Bathory and Shanghaied.

*Rice/Ginger Facial Scrub *Suhada Nature)

I can't find a picture of this and my mom still has my camera, so you'll have to do without a pic.

This is a strange but very effective product.

It is important to scoop a bit of this product in a smaller jar to use in the shower, so you don't get water into the rest of the product (this is important because the product will go bad if water get's in it).

To use, scoop an amoun the size of 4 peas out of the smaller jar, add a little water and make it into a past.

Massage this into your face, then apply some water and massage a little more.

Then wash it off and have gorgeously soft skin :D.

*Ocean Salt (Lush)

I rarely use this one on my face, since it's extremely coarse, but I love to use this one on my back and shoulders.

It's great for this purpose!

It really cleans my back thoroughly so I can enjoy wearing summer tops :D.

After all the scrubbing, comes shaving...

You probably know that it's unwise to shave with just water.

It's better to use a Shower Gel, Whipped Cream Soap, special shaving product or even an conditioner.

My fave shaving products:

*Dirty Shaving Cream (Bnever)

My absolute favourite shaving cream ever!!!

Sadly, Bnever has called it quits, so I can't order more of this products, but hopefully Lush will take this beauty into production (a girl ca hope...right!?).

Dirty Shaving Cream make shaving really easy.

The blade glides over your skin and you finish shaving within a short time (some products make shaving hard so it takes longer to shave).

The most amazing thing about this shaving cream are the hydrating properties, I've never seen anything like it.

It has butters and other ingredients that hydrate your skin so much you don't even need body lotion afterwards (and I ALWAYS use body lotion after showering, because I always need it)!!!

I usually still use a bit of body lotion, but it is definately unnecessary.

I don't know exactly how it works, because it doesn't make your skin greasy hut stil really, really, really soft, but I'm really glad I own a bit of this product.

*A Jelly (Lush)

I like to use a Jelly (Whoosh shown above) and put it in the blender.

With this substance I like to shave my legs, armpits, etc.

One blendered jelly provides enough "shaving cream" for weeks, though it also depends on how much you shave and how often.

The special thing about the jelly's is the Carrageenan Extract, which is extracted from Irish Moss Seaweed.

This amazing extract makes skin really soft somehow (and your hair too if you wash it with a jelly or a blendered one ;) ).

A great combo is first scrubbing with Sugar Babe and then shaving with a blendered Jelly!

*Cien Shaving Cream

This is a cheap shaving cream from a supermarket (Lidl) in my town.

I can't find a picture of this one either.

It isn't a very natural product (I use mostly natural products) but it is great nevertheless.

I probably has silicones and other bad things in it, but it's too good not to use.

It makes shaving really easy and fast and makes my skin slippery smooth (not oily though at all).

You definitely do need a body lotion after this, but it's a good product and also a bargain (yay).

I bought this product 2 years ago so it probably isn't sold anywhere anymore.

*Fluffy Stuff Foaming Cream Soap (Grumpy Girl)

I have two of these marvelous cream soaps: Hot Tranny Mess (a Lush Rockstar dupe) and Girly Girl (also a sweet scent, this one is musky).

Both are pink coloured and smell really great.

When I hear the word soap, I think of a drying substance.

This is not the case with this product :).

I just scoop some of it out of the jar, spread it on my skin and start shaving.

Great smells waft up my nose and make me happy.

This is definitely the best smelling product to shave with :D.

Afterward, the scent lingers, which I love!

This is it for now (since it's a very long post).

I still have a lot to write about, so I divided all the info between blog posts.

Part 2 will be about the next important process in looking good: hydrating!

I will talk about creams for face and body and also about protecting your skin from the sun.

Part 3 will be about all the other essentials: deodorisers, perfume and summer make-up amongst other things.

Perhaps there will even be a part 4 if part 3 turns out to big.

See ya next time and have a nice day,

Freya

Review: Lush: Enchanted Eye Cream

Lush's Enchanted Eye Cream is a great Eye Cream that I use daily.

Ingredients: Lavender Honey Water (Lavendula angustifolia), Stearic Acid, Cold Pressed Organic Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Glycerine, Organic Cold-Pressed Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Cetearyl Alcohol, Triethanolamine, Methylparaben, Propylparaben

Lush UK Website Description:

Gentle, soothing cream to minimise fine lines around the eyes. It's perfect for night and day. A small dab of enchanted, applied carefully with the little finger, refreshes the area around the eyes and softly tightens the skin. Use it to give yourself a little lift, even if there's no-one else around. If there's a visitor expected, it's nice to know you can use a gentle but effective cream to wake up your saggy eyes a bit. Enchanted works with natural ingredients and far fewer preservatives than alternatives, so as well as an instant effect, it's good for the skin around your eyes for ever and ever.

I really like this eye cream.

It's soft and light and not at all greasy, but it still hydrates very well.

After use I see the dark circles under my eyes mostly disappear, and that's a real miracle!

I have tried lots of eye creams and eye gels, some with rolling systems but none of them worked.

Lush's Enchanted Eye Cream doesn't promise to get rid of your dark cicles, but it does anyway.

Enchanted Eye Cream also reduces the fine lines around my eyes and makes the skin extremely soft.

This all results in fresh looking eyes without dark circles and less lines around the eyes and softer skin.

When I get a new bottle, the smell of the cream reminds me of the smell of an eye shadow brand I used to have when I was still a kid.

I quite like it but I can't describe it.

Prize: 9,85 pounds for 45 grams..

Verdict: Cheap eye cream (one bottle can last for six months) that works wonders.

It gets rid of dark under eye circles, reduces fine lines around the eyes and makes eyes less puffy.

It also makes your skin really soft, so it's a great eye cream!!!

NOTD: a few nailpolishes

For todays NOTD I have used 2 layers My Best Friend's Tiara (290 Catrice), 1 layer of a clear polish with silver holographic glitters and round flakes (905 etos) and 1 layers of the Ultra Long Lasting Up To 10 Days Top Coat (Catrice).

I know the picture is awfull!

I made it with my Macbook in bad light, since my mom has borrowed my camera and I can't acces it right now.

I'll make some better pics the next time I'll post a NOTD.

Hope you'll like this one anyway.

Have a nice weekend,

Freya

Make-up Haul 2

So here's what I bought the second time.

There was a sale at the Trekpleister, 50% off of all make-up!

So I bought a lot.

I saved more than 20 euro's , great deal huh!?

From left to right:

*Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 110 Poison Me, poison You!

*Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 190 Wrapped Around My Finger

*Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 140 Let's Mauve On!

*Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 290 My Best Friend's Tiara

*Manhattan Lotus Effect Nail Polish 35 W

*Manhattan Lotus Effect Nail Polish 68 A

*Catrice Colour Gloss Lip Gloss 110 Glamorous Red

*Catrice Colour Gloss Lip Gloss 080 Secret Mauve

*Catrice Limited Edition Lip Gloss 01 Ocean Sunset

*Catrice Soft Eye Shadow Mono 250 White Silk

*Catrice Soft Eye Shadow Mono 110 Vanilla Cream

*Catrice Soft Eye Shadow Mono 180 Moonstone

*Catrice Soft Eye Shadow Mono 120 Chili Chocolate

*Catrice Soft Eye Shadow Duo 200 Salt & Pepper

*Catrice Kajal Designer 130 Bright Violet

*Catrice Kajal Designer 100 Tropical Green

Needless to say, I'm a big fan of Catrice cosmetics.

I haven't tried everything yet, but I have tried the lip glosses Secret Mauve and Ocean Sunset, and I love them.

I haven't worn Ocean Sunset a lot, but it's a great lip gloss for summer.

Secret Mauve I call my Angelina Jolie lip gloss because it makes my lips look a lot fuller and it's a colour Angelina would wear.

I also tried the Eye Shadows Vanilla Cream and Moonstone.

They combine great, but I also love to wear Moonstone all by itself.

I really love Moon Stone.

The rest of the make-up I will test when I've completed the move from my mom's house to my own appartment!

Love,

Freya

My Eyeko Package :D

I received my Eyeke Packaage 2 weeks ago :D.

It was well packaged and everything looked awesome.

There was just one problem, they forgot to include some products that I ordered!

I ordered the Magic Set (that's the Magic Mascara + the Magic Eye Liner).

So I contacted them saying some products were missing, and the next day I got an email from Eyeko saying that they were sorry, they will send me the missing items, and if I would let them know when the package has arrived.

I think their customer service is really good.

Anyway, here's what I got:

From left to right:

-Cosmic Polish

-Indigo Polish

-Lilac Polish

-Nude Polisj

-Vampira Polish

-Vintage Polish

-Raspberry Fat Balm

I haven't tried the nail polishes yet, but I think they look good.

The Raspberry Fatbalm I did try, and I loved it!

It smells very nice, like raspberries and makes my lips a natural dan bit dark raspberry colour.

The Fat Balm also hydrates my lips well, and I really had not expected that.

The Fat Balm I got for free, but when I've used it up I think I will order a new one, and possibly the strawberry one as well!

I will do a real review (with LOTD/swatch) later.

And I will let you know when I receive the Magic Set.

What do you think of Eyeko?

Review: The Body Shop: Sweet Lemon Body Scrub

I got a sample of this at my local The Body Shop store, and decided to use it when I took a bath this week.

Ingredients: Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Sucrose, Sodium Chloride, Helianthus Annuus Hybrid Oil, Silica, Citrus Medica Limonum Seed Oil, Glycerine Soja Oil, Limonene, Bertholletia Excelsa Seed Oil, Parfum, Citrus Medica Limonum Peel, Juglans Regia Shell Powder, Citral, Cl 19140.

Scent: I'm not usually a big fan of lemon scents, I mean they are ok, but nothing special, this one however I really liked.

It was fresh and zesty, summery and cheerful.

It smelled like I was rubbing actual lemons and lemon peels on my skin and I found that to be a very natural experience.

After use, the scent doesn't linger well.

First it turns a bit musty and then it's mostly gone.

I think I'll go get a sample of the body butter, because if the smell stays when using the body butter, I'll get a jar for summer, since I really love it (though I never thought I would).

I had never used a TBS scrub before, and this one did not disappoint.

It isn't a very coarse scrub, but it still manages to make my skin smooth.

I tried it on my knees and elbows, and they were considerably softer after use.

I think the oils really hydrated my skin, but they didn't make my skin oily.

Not that I mind oilyness after scrubbing, but it's nice to not always use an oily scrub.

Since this scrub isn't oily, it's also suitable for people who don't like oily scrubs.

Verdict: Not very coarse scrub, that scrubs very well nevertheless, it makes skin hydrated and soft without being very greasy, smells very realistically lemony during use, but smell fades fast afterwards.

I don't know If I will buy the scrub again, maybe in a different scent.

Will try to get a hold of a sample of the Sweet Lemon Body Butter

Have you tried anything of the Sweet Lemon line yet?

Any thoughts?

Review: Yves Rocher: Jardins Du Monde Deodorant with Lotus Flower

A few months ago I ordered a few of these, since I've used this deodorant before and I liked it.

Ingredients:Aqua, Aluminum Chlorohydrate, PPG-15 Stearyl Ether, Steareth-2, Perfume, Nelumbo Nucifera, Steareth-28, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal.

It smells light and flowery (like lotus flowers) , the fragrance is mild.

It keeps me fresh as long as I don't work out or sweat a lot and wear to much clothes.

It's easy to apply (and re-apply when necessary) and dries quick without staining skin or clothes.

This one also hydrates your skin and makes your armpits soft.

I like roller deo's much better than sprays, since sprays usually contain a lot of alcohol, are very irritating and don't seem to work as well on me.

Prize: When not on sale it costs 3,70 euros for 50 ml, but on sale I usually pay 1,85 euros which is an absolute bargain!!!

Verdict: Nice deo, smells nice and flowery, works well, though not amazing, easy to apply and cheap.

I'll definately buy these again!!!

So what kind of deo do you use?

Roller, stick, creme or spray?

Review: Rituals: Honey Touch Body Créme

A while ago I got a sample of Rituals Honey Touch Body Créme and this week I finally used it.

Ingredients: The website doesn't have an accurate list of all the ingredients in the products.

All they say about the ingredients in this product, is that it contains Indian Rose and Himalayan Honey.

It smells like honey and vanilla to me.

The longer I had it on my skin, the more it smelled like vanilla, not like honey.

The honey smell wasn't very strong and I think that's too bad, since I adore honey.

It still smelled great though, like vanilla and something sweet and fresh that reminded me of honeydew melon and it reminded me a bit of a Bpal scent called "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat" (though that also has grapes and lemon in it).

The fragrance is nice but not overly strong, it's refreshingly mild.

Honety Touch made my skin very smooth and soft (it probably has silicones in it) and that felt nice.

Price: 14,90 euro's for 200ml which is a normal price.

Verdict: Smells nice, though very different from what I expected, makes my skin soft and smooth.

May consider purchasing a jar in the future.

Have you tried any products by Rituals?

Any faves?

Review: Villainess : Raspberry Swirl Smooch!

I used the last of my Raspberry Swirl Smooch! by Villainess a few weeks ago, but I couldn't find the time to write a review until now.

Ingredients:

Sucrose (Sugar), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Polysorbate 60, Prunus (Cherry) Kernel Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Fragrance, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Powder, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Meat Powder.

Raspberry Swirl is supposed to smell like raspberry and vanilla, which sounds very nice.

Sadly, it didn't smell very nice at all.

It smelled extremely sweet in a disgusting way (like artificial sweeteners), and I din't smell the vanilla at all.

To me it smelled exactly like a Raspberry smoothie from the brand Optimel tasted.

It was filled to the brim with raspberries, dairy and a truck load of artificial sweeteners, and I thought it was disgusting!

The Raspberry Swirl Smooch! might have been spoiled since the seal was broken, so I got a refund from Alice & Jo (they have great service!!!)

Luckily the scrubbing properties were great, so I did use up the whole pot.

This wasn't a very sticky scrub.

The texture was a bit like Smashing Smooch! and reminds me of moist cake.

It scrubs well but not very harsh.

It does the job but I don't mind a scrub that's harsher than this one (like Ginger Snapped Smooch! for example, I LOVE that one).

After scrubbing I put some water on the scrub and scrub and lather it all over my body before washing it off.

I pat my skin dry and use Body Lotion.

I bought this scrub to combine with my Raspberry Shower Gel from Yves Rocher and my Artemis Cream Body Lotion from Lush.

It combined very well and my skin smelled great and felt very soft afterwards.

Verdict: Smells gross, but it might have been spoiled.

Scrubs well, but could have been better, hydrates well and makes skin soft and smooth.

Won't buy this one again because of the smell.

I will continue to buy Villainess's smooches however!

Lush Offical Discon List

Yes, it's back, the dreaded discon list!

Sadly, each year some products have to go for different reasons.

Sometimes they have to make room for new products, or they get replaced by an inproved version, or there are problems with the ingredients, etc.

Anyway, here's the list:

-Happy Pill (Bath Ballistic)

-Supernova (Bath Ballistic)

-Q10 Toner Tab

-Mirror Mirror (neck and cleavage cream)

-Razorantium (Shaving Cream)

-Shave The Planet (Shaving Cream)

-Tramp (Shower Gel)

-Yummy Yummy Yummy (Shower Gel)

-Crash Course In Skin Care (Fresh Face Mask)

-Candy Fluff Dusting Powder

-Karma Dusting Powder

-I Should Coco Soap

-Hard Shampoo Bar

-Soft Shampoo Bar

-It's A Wrap Gift

If you have favourites that are on this list, you better buy some extra soon, since they might be sold out forever in just a few days.

Mirror Mirror is being replaced with Lovely Jubblies, a cream for your neck, cleavage and boobies, which is better than Mirror Mirror.

It does smell different though.

Mirror Mirror smells like Fever Massage Bar and Lovely Jubblies smells like orange blossom.

I liked the smell of Mirror Mirror, but I don't think I would like the smell of Lovely Jubblies, since I hate the smell of orange blossem.

Also, a neck cream would be useful for me, but a boobie cream wouldn't be useful at all.

They are very firm and they only need some body lotion (Lush ofcourse).

However, if you DO need a boobie cream, and you like the smell of orange blossom, Lovely Jubblies might be just right for you!

Are any of your favourites on the list?

None of mine are, thankfully.

I did want to try Supernova, so I got 2 through swaps a few months ago and I still would like to try the Q10 Toner Tabs, because I think they would suit my skin perfectly.

If they are still on the UK website next time I place an order, I think I will order some.

I hope you all have a nice day, even though you might be freaking out over the discon list and may be ordering like mad (I know I have in the past *shame*).

New Lush Products

In the last few weeks, Lush has been adding new products to their line up.

I think it' time for me to write about them.

The New Products

*Grass Shower Gel

I'm amazingly curious about how this will smell *jumps up and down*.

Will it smell like actual fresh mown grass or just like a very amazing green blend of things that can't be recognised in the blend (Lush perfumers have awesome blending ability!)???

I like Tramp, which is also a green Lush Shower Gel, but is probably completely different.

Tramp is mossy and Grass is supposed to be...you've guessed it: grassy!

I think it's really cool that the fragrance of this products is called "the Ninja Fragrance", I mean, how mysterious is that!?

Though I won't be ordering a bottle for now, since I think I have more than 20 liters of Shower Gel to use up (I confess, I'm an addict *blush*), I might buy a small bottle in a few months, to feed my curiosity!

Ingredients:

Water, (Aqua), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacatatae, Fresh Wheatgrass Juice (Triticum vulgare), Lauryl Betaine, Chlorophyllin Water (CL 75810, Aqua), Perfume, Propylene Glycol, Sandalwood Oil (santalum austro-caledonicum vieill and Fusanus spicatus), Bergamot Oil (Citrus Aurantirum bergamia), Neroli Oil (Citrus Aurantium amara), Fine Sea Salt, *Coumarin, *Geraniol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Methylparaben.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

Lush UK website description:

Now that the wheater's improving, it's time to start indulging. This new shower Gel is made with our new Ninja fragrance, antioxidant wheatgrass juice, and citrus oils to bring sunshine to your days again. Lather up and inhale the deep scent of freshly mown lawns. Keep firmly on the Grass.

Prizes: 100g = 4,45 pounds , 250g = 8,75 pounds and 500 = 15,95 pounds.

*Glorious Mud Body Mask

Since I'm a sucker for anything with honey (taste, smell or cosmetics with honey in it) I can't wait to try this.

I'll just have to wait until I have used up some more (Lush) products before I'll buy this.

A little while ago I had a few samples of Créme Anglaise, which has the same scent as Glorious Mud.

It smells like honey and vanilla and other yummy things :D :D :D.

Créme Anglaise was also very moisturising and had healing properties (but it didn't do anything for my face though).

Ingredients:

Rhassoul Mud, Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cold-Pressed Sesame Oil (Sesamum indicum), Oloe Vera Extract (Aloe barbadensis), Perfume, Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Myrrh Resinoid (Commiphora myrrha), Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Benzyl Salicylate, *Coumarin, *Limonene.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

Lush UK website description:

Rub our dynamic, fizzy cube of rhassoul mud all over your body to cover and cleanse. The oloe vera extract is soothing and the mix of sesame and vanilla will moisturise. Mask your whole body for smooth, soft skin that smells just like the delectable Crème Anglaise body lotion.

Prize: 3,95 pounds for 125g.

*Brimstone Body Scrub

I am a scrubbing maniac, so I like that Lush has created a new scrub block.

The sugar scrubs I tried (Sugar Babe, A Sugar Scrub and Fairy Tail) were nice smelling and very scrubby (which is just the way I like it), but they sometimes turned into rocks after use :S.

Obviously it's impossible to scrub with rocks.

I like that this one isn't round but square and that it has sulphur in it (I've never tried a cosmetic product with sulphur in it before).

I'm curious as to wether the sulphur will have any effect on my skin and if it will improve the condition of it.

Sadly, some people say Brimstone stinks (as in bad smell not as in bad product) in their reviews so this product isn't for everyone.

I'll probably like the scent of Brimstone though, since I have a very broad taste when it comes to scents.

Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate , Fine Sea Salt, Kaolin, Organic Cold Pressed Hemp Oil (Cannabis sativa), Citric Acid, Perfume, Lemongrass Oil (Cymbopogon citratus), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum Grandiflorum), Sulphur Powder, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Salicylate, *Citral, *Limonene, *Linalool.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

Lush UK website description:

Don't worry; the apocalypse isn't coming just yet. Brimstone is a deeply fragrant, hardcore body scrub, with natural sulphur to condition the skin and keep the body clear. The cleansing China clay, exfoliating sea salt and calming hemp oils shall rain down vengeance on sins of the flesh and lead you back onto the path of righteousness.

Prize: 3,25 pounds for 140g.

*Charlotte's Island Body Tint

I was really looking forward to this, since I thought this was going to be a tanning lotion.

Since it isn't, I'm probably not going to buy it.

I'm not a foundation wearing type of girl, and a paint on bronzer is just too much fuss for me.

I don't like to have a tan that can be rubbed or washed off and I'm scared of Charlotte Island giving me embarrassing moments, like:

-walking through the rain and have streams of bronzer run down my face.

-forgetting to "tan" som spots and be spotty because of it without noticing it

-someone where wearing white touching my skin, and the tan will come of and rub on their clothes *is horrified*.

Needless to say, this product is not for me (though I will ask for a sample with me next order, since I'm terribly curious).

It has been said by some that this product smells like chocolate (that's the cocoa butter) and fruit, and Lush has said that Charlotte's Island doesn't come off in the rain, but it does come of when you rub it.

Ingredients:

Organic Lemon Infusion (Citrus limonum), Fairtrade Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Orgainc Aloe Vera Gel (Aloe barbadensis), Stearic Acid, Organic Cold Pressed Avocado Oil (Persea gratissima), Glycerine, Freshly Juiced Papaya (Carica papaya), Triethanolamine, Chamomile Blue Oil (Matricaria chamomilla), Labdanum Resinoid (Cistus ladaniferus), Oakmoss Absolute (Evernia prunastri), Seaweed Absolute (Fucus vesiculosus), Violet Leaf Absolute (Viola odorata), Fresh Organic Lemon Juice (Citrus limonum), Organic Cold Pressed Wheatgerm Oil (Triticum vulgare), Organic Cold Pressed Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera biennis), Cetearyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Perfume, Colour 77491, Colour 77492, Colour 77499, Colour 77007, Propylparaben.

Lush Uk website description:

Our new bronzing body tint helps you to build a healthy glow without having to subject your skin to excessive sunlight. We've made it with organic lemon infusion, organic oils and cocoa butter to brighten and hydrate the skin.

Just smooth it on your white bits for a subtle tan; inhale the fruity fragrance and you'll feel like you've been sunning yourself on a tropical island.

Prizes : 100g = 4,95 pounds and 250g = 9,95 pounds.

*Tokens To The Forests Gods Sauna Tabs

When I first read about this one, I thought: "Not another toner tab!

But I changed my mind after I read the ingredient list.

To me it seems like this one would be seriously citrusy and that's just lovely.

I would like some (literally) in your face citrus wafting up my nose and reviving my skin.

Therefore this one definitely will take up a spot on my wish list.

Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, *Limonene, Grapefruit Oil (Citrus paradisi), Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Sweet Wild Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Neroli Oil (Citrus amara), Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), *Citral, *Linalool, Colour 61570.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

Lush UK website description:

Our tokens to the forest deities are green, fizzing toner tabs with uplifting grapefruit, sweet orange and neroli oils.

Drop into a boil of hot water and enjoy the sharp, citrusy blast of oils. Your face will be toned, refreshes and a little closer to the divine

Prize: 0,95 pounds for 10g (that is one toner tab).

*Stepping Stone Foot scrub

Yay, a foot scrub!

My footsies are in desperate need of a foot scrub :(.

I used to have a great pumice stone that worked very well, but I recently replaced it with one that really kind of sucks :S.

That's why this one would really come in handy.

First I would soak in the tub or take a nice shower.

Then I would scrub my feet like crazy with this Stepping Stone and rinse it off.

To finish, I would put Pied the Pepper on my feet to keep them soft (and I like Pied the Pepper much better than Fairtrade Foot Lotion), though Dream Cream also works great as a hydrating foot cream, and a fruity Body Butter (like from The Body Shop) would also be really nice, because it would match with the fruity smell (citrus to the third) of Stepping Stone Foot Scrub.

Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Pumice Powder, Citric Acid, Organic Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Fine Sea Salt, Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Lemongrass Oil (Cymbopogon citratus), Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Lime Oil (Citrus aurantifolia), Lycopodium Powder, *Citral, *Geraniol, *Citronellol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 42090.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

Lush UK website description:

You've Been Mangoed fragrance and punishing pumice to scrub away the rigours of life.

Jojoba oil will moisturise dry skin without leaving them greasy and sea salt will treat them to plentiful minerals. Put your feet up and save your soles.

Prize: 2,75 pounds for 65 g (1 block).

*Keep It Fluffy Bath Ballistic

This one comes in two different versions, a purple one and a orange one.

I have the purple one and it smells delish!

Though I have never smelled the Bnever perfume called "Keep It Fluffy" , I have smelled the soap, which smells really flowery and a bit sweet.

It smells rather pleasant but the scent is also a bit on the heavy side, so I think the Ballistic smells a better.

It smells sweet and flowery and the smell puts a smile on my face.

My mom though it's fragrance was so amazing she wanted to steal it from me (another Lush addict in the making muhahaha :D ).

She didn't get it, since I haven't tried one of these, though I might get her one if I like this one enough in the bath!

Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Cocamide DEA, Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum grandiflorum, Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), Lemongrass Oil (Cymbopogon citratus), Titanium Dioxide, *Citral, *Coumarin, Hydroxycitronellal, Colour 17200, Colour 42090.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

Lush UK website description:

The newest member of our fabulous fizzers is a vanilla and jasmine scented wonder-bomb to wrap you in fluffy. You might recognise the fragrance form B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful. As Helen says: keep it fun, keep it fragrant, keet it fluffy.

Prize: 2,25 pounds per ballistic.

*Lovely Jubblies Breast Cream

Like Charlottes Island, Lovely Jubblies is another product that I won't be buying.

The reason for not buying Lovely Jubblies is because I simply do not need it.

This cream is for moisturising your neck, cleavage and boobies and to keep it al firm.

Since those places of my body are as firm as it gets I really don't need it.

If it smelled great I probably would have bought it any how, but since it smells like orange blossom I think I'll pass on this one.

I'll probably ask for a sample with my next order anyway, since I'm too curious about anything Lush, even if it's a product I don't need and probably won't even like.

Silly me!

Ingredients:

Meadowsweet Infusion (spiraea ulmaria), Fresh Rose Infusion (Rosa damascena), Organic Colf Presses Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Organic Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil (Simmondisa chinensis), Stearic Acid, Glycerine, Organic Cold Presses Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera biennis), Organic Cold Pressed Avocado Oil (Persea gratissima), Orange Blossom Honey (Citrus aurantium amara), Triethanolamine, Lemongrass Oil (Cymbopogon flexuosus), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), Jasmine Absolute (Jaskinum grandiflorum), Tiger Lily Petals (Lilium tigrinum), Beeswax (Cera alba), Cetearyl Alcohol, *Citral, *Geraniol, Benzyl Salicylate, Benzyl Alcohol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

This one isn't vegan because it contains beeswax. It is however, vegetarian!

Lush UK website description:

We've developed a cream to keep your bits firm and supple. This blend of cold-pressed, organic oils can keep your knockers, decolletage, stomach and bottom in top nick. The tightening action of meadowsweet and the fragrant, floral boo-kay of orange blossom and rose will give you the loveliest jubblies in town. Cushdy!

Prize: 14,95 pounds for a 100g pot. This is rather expensive, but it probably has a great tightening/firming effect. (If I like the smell I'll consider buying it anyway, there are always bits of your body that could be tighter ;) .)

*R&B (Revive and Balance) Hair Moisturiser

This product seems really tempting and I think I might get this for the ends of my hair.

I have very healthy, extremely fine hair, that gets greasy easily, so I don't need this product on my roots or on the length of my hair.

I do tend to get split ends because I dye my hair with very cheap hair dye (less than 2 euro's a package) that is really rough on my ends.

Normally I use H'San Wen Hua for restoring my split ends, but R&B might work even better.

I guess this is another product I would like to get a sample of.

Too bad this one also smells like orange blossom.

I hope I like it nevertheless.

Ingredients:

Oat Milk (Avena sativa), Glycerine, Organic Avocado Butter (Persea gratissima), Fair for Life Olive Oil, Glyceryl Stearate & PEG 100 Stearate, Perfume, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (C0c0s nucifera), Organic Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), bay Oil (Pimenta racemosa), Orange Blossom Absolute (Citrus aurantium amara), Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum grandiflorum), Cupuacu Butter (Theobroma grandiflorum), Candelilla Wax (Euphorbia cerifera), Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, *Benzyl Salicylate, *Eugeniol, *Geraniol, *Isoeugeniol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Farnesol, *Limonene, *Linalool.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

Lush UK Website description:

Tame your mane with some smooth R&B stylings. The tropical butters and candelilla wax will help to moisturise and control frizzy, flyaway hair, but R&B works to soothe dry scalps, too, with calming oat milk. And once you smell the orange blossom, your hair well and truly get its groove back.

Prize: 9,95 pounds for 100g (cheaper than the Lovely Jubblies and I've read R&B works amazing, s it's really worth the prize!!!).

*Ultrabalm (Lubrication For The Nation)

I've heard rumours about a vaseline like products coming from the Lush factory, and here it finally is!!!

It's just like vaseline, only without the petroleum and with only natural ingredients (it's even vegan).

You can use it for all sorts of things, for example as:

-perfume enhancer (though I don't really understand how)

-hair dye barrier (put it on your hairline when you dye or henna your hair)

-lubrication (?)

-skin barrier (it locks the mositure in)

-eyebrow tamer (instead of eyebrow wax or gel)

-invisible mascara (looking forward to using this as mascara)

-lip balm (speaks fir itself)

-cuticle balm (when you are out of lemony flutter)

-dry skin moisturiser (as said before, it locks in the moisture and protects your dry skin)

I'm keen on trying this and will order a tin in a few months.

I also have a big pot of vaseline, but I never use it since it's junk, so with this new invention I can finally chuck my pot of vaseline *cheers*.

Ingredients:

Organic Cold-Pressed jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Candelilla Wax (Euphorbia cerifera), Rose Wax (Rosa Damascena).

Lush UK website description:

Ultrabalm is bringing petroleum-free lubrication to the nation. This moisturising balm is made with plant waxes and nothing else. No petroleum-jelly, no mineral oils, just natural goodness. Our mix of candelilla wax and jojoba oil is a vegan alternative to beeswax; it creates a protective barrier on the ski and locks in moisture, while rose wax soothes irritations. You can apply the balm to scuffs and scrapes to relieve discomfort, use it as a barrier cream when apllying henna, or even use it as a lip balm. There's nothing crude about our lube.

Prize: 7,50 pounds for 45g. This is kind of expensive, but when you remember what you can do with it, it's rather cheap.

I think this will be nice for all sorts of things, easy lipbalm, dry spots balm, to use on scratches made by my cat, etc.

These are all the new products available at the moment.

When I order them and have used them I will write a review, but for now you'll have to tets it yourself!

Hope you all had a great saturday,

Freya
