Whenever I do a LUSH review video, I ALWAYS want to mention these products because I love them so much! But I can't always keep repeating myself :) Anyway, these are my absolute MUST-HAVE items from LUSH that I cannot live without!
1. Dream Cream

If I could only use one LUSH product and give up all my others (terrifying), it would be this. This body cream makes my skin feel and look amazing. I use it everyday. It's extremely moisturizing, but doesn't feel thick and sticky like some body creams do. It absorbs quickly and when you apply it, it almost melts into your skin and glides right on. You don't have to work to rub it in like with some stuff. It doesn't leave a residue or feel oily, but it gives my skin the healthiest glow. The scent is unique-- Herbal, but with a vanilla sweetness. Best part is that it's so gentle, people with the most sensitive skin (even on babies' skin!).
2. Big Shampoo

A good hair day in a little black pot. Seriously, when I use this stuff, my hair changes. It seems a little strange with the large salt chunks, but the stuff works. I like to use really nourishing things on my hair (it's color treated) so this would not be something I'd be drawn to. I nervously tried a sample of this and have been hooked since. It lathers like crazy. It has seaweed in it (which you can't see at all in the product), so maybe that's what makes it feel so great in my hair. It just feels moisturizing. Yet, when you rinse, your hair is squeaky clean, but doesn't feel stripped. Best part is the amazing results-- mega volume for even the most lifeless hair-- like mine :)
3. Rock Star Soap

My all-time favorite LUSH soap. The smell is hard to describe-- Like sweet candy. The scent really lingers on your skin too.
4. Ocean Salt

One word- amazing. I can use this stuff on my body or my face (yep, face). While you might think the salt sounds a little harsh, it leaves your skin feeling so soft and has really nourishing ingredients. *If you have sensitive or dry skin, I'd avoid using it on the face.
Not many products, I know. But these are truly the ones I cannot live without! While I've been using some of the skin care products on my face recently (and am loving lots of them--reaching "must-have" status quickly...), it's still too soon to add those to this list. However, I promise a full review next month of my LUSH skincare products after I've had some time to get a good feel for them :) Maybe even a must-have skincare post? ;)
I love lush too :) Thanks for this post, I have heard great things about the dream cream so I will look next time I am in!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
BIG & Ocean Salt are my favorites too... along with Godiva solid shampoo, and Sultana of Soap. Honey, I Washed the Kids is pretty yummy too. :]
ReplyDeleteI think it's time for me to go try some Lush products! hahaha. I'll look into these products =]
ReplyDeleteBig is one of my favorites too, with Fresh Farmacy and Aqua Marina :)
ReplyDeleteLast week on a short travel to the USA I bought the Dream Cream because I saw a twitter comment of yours and decided to try it. And now I'm addicted to it... I live in Brazil and on my next vacations I'll look for these other Lush products... Love Lush and love your blog!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish they would make a color safe shampoo!! I've been using the garlic-y face mask (can't remember the name). At first I didn't love it or hate it, but it's really growing on me. Over the past 2 weeks my skin has become less oily throughout the day. Great post!
ReplyDeletei can't wait for the hair care video!
ReplyDeleteTiffany I have a question, what is the best way to use bar soap? I try to use it with a loofa because I don't like just rubbing it on my body (doesn't get sudsy enough) and I like to only use my washcloth for my facewash. How do you do it? Maybe I'll just have to washcloths in my shower haha. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I grew up with LUSH and worked for them for a long time. Have you ever looked at the sister company? www.bnevertoobusytobebeautiful.com. They're unfortunately closing soon but have a look at all the gorgeousness before it goes. I'm trying to upload all the remaing swatches to my blog. So sad that it will soon no longer be with us :(
ReplyDeletexoxo

i seriously thought you would list 'honey i washed the kids' soap!
ReplyDeletei love love loveeeee ocean salt and dream cream :) big shampoo is my next purchase! i heard lollipop26 rave about it too and now i'm evern more excited to try it :) xx
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to read/hear your impressions about Dark Angels. I just started using it recently and so far I like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention my own holy grail listing of lush products:
ReplyDeleteshampoo: Big (I'm going to try Seanik next because apparently it's very similar, but it solid form, wich lasts longer)
conditioner: American Cream (I just bought the biggest format because I love it so much! I love to mix it with Veganese conditioner too - smells like lemon meringue pie!)
soap: sexy Peel is the best smelling one, I find. It's so refreshing! I just love it.
Massage bar: Each Peach is my all-time fave. It makes me feel so incredible soft. I love the smell of Soft Coeur too but it's a pain to remove the chocolate bits.
Shower gel: Rub Rub Rub - smells similar to Ocean Salt and is very scrubby. But I cannot wait to try the limited edition butterball shower gel I recently ordered.
Errr... I could talk about Lush all day!
What do you use as a conditioner after using BIG shampoo??!
ReplyDeleteI love the dream cream! also like rockstar.
ReplyDeleteand i wanna try out the big shampoo ?
I'd love to know what you are wearing on your lips in the lush vid...=)
ReplyDeleteIts important for me to take care of my skin and i think it is for everyone. Rockstar is really good but i prefer Abahna-you should check them out, i ve included the website
ReplyDeleteI loved this post. I just started getting into lush and ive fallen in love I think! I've got a few new things (I wrote about them on my blog) and I love to see what other people have got and what their faves are! I want to try Big and american cream for my hair I think.
ReplyDeletecheck out my blog if you have a sec
oh and I meant to say how much I love your youtube videos. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Tiffany :) I ended up going to Lush yesterday and picked up Big and the cobweb bath bomb based on your reviews... along with some other treats :)
ReplyDeleteI have both sensitive and dry skin...but I can still use the Ocean salt on my face. Just maybe not as much or as often as others but I still like it! :)
ReplyDeletei bought rock star and hated the smell lol! it smells so sickly for me. Ive never tried any of the others. my favourites are think pink and the comforter i blog bout them all the time lol! im so addicted to lush!
ReplyDeletelove you tiffany :D
Hey Tiffany!
ReplyDeleteI love Lush too!
My favourite soap is Honey I Washed The Kids.
The Demon In The Dark Soap I prefer for the summer though. When it's really hot outside its great to cool down with this.
Did you ever try any of the shampoo bars?
I like them for travelling. They are small and don't make a mess in the baggage.
I love watching your videos, keep it going!!!!
Love

Thanks for the great tips! I just bought the Big Shampoo, and totally fell in love!! It's magic! I have thin and color treated hair, and this shampoo makes my hair soft, yet full of volume. I have always been using brands like Redken, TIGI and so on, but this one beats them all!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your blog and youtube channel :)
I have really sensitive skin.. and Dream Cream is so amazing! x
