Lush Haul

Lush wasn’t even on my mind until my parents mentioned they were going to be making a quick trip before heading to the Scotland vs Argentina rugby game. As soon as the words left my mother’s mouth I immediately handed her money that was intended for something else and practically threw a list of my Lush desires in her face. I’m a pleasant daughter.



My list was kept to the bare minimum. I’ve become very money conscious recently (i.e. I’m conscious of the fact I seem to be forever broke) so I decided I would only get the necessities. I use the term necessities incredibly loosely here.



First up was a shower jelly which goes by the delightful name of “Whoosh”. Like Dirty Springwash I was attracted to the colour and wasn’t fussed about the scent. I expected the jelly to have a subtle minty scent like Dirty Springwash but really, it’s incredibly citrusy. I’ve used a shower jelly before and distinctly remember losing most of it down the plug hole so I expect very little of Whoosh to actually meet any part of my body.



Cosmetic Warrior was given to me for free thanks to the fact I had 5 (technically I had 8 but you need to be in the 5 times tables for this scheme) empty tubs to return to Lush. I’ve never tried it before and I’m not entirely sure I understand why I went for Cosmetic Warrior as I’m not exactly prone to spots but hey, a free face mask is a free face mask.



Whip Stick does not look appealing on the Lush website whatsoever but that didn’t stop me from wanting it. It’s a chocolate orange flavoured lip balm that smells delicious. I haven’t used it yet as I wanted to keep it looking perfect for the picture but as soon as this post is published I am whacking this baby on my lips.



Body butters don’t typically appeal to me but I was suddenly hit with the desire to purchase King of Skin despite it being a slippery little body butter. I clearly didn’t think it through prior to purchasing it as it is to be used in the shower; something I barely have time for in the morning as it is. I’m fairly certain I will be chasing this around the floor of my shower every time I try to use it.

So there you have yet another Lush haul from me. I’d love to say my addiction is getting worse but, as I’ve seen a few pictures of people’s Lush collections on Twitter recently, my addiction is rather miniscule in comparison. I’m not justifying my Lush habit to myself here at all…

P.S Apologies for not being around on here much and for the quality of the photos. I'm trying to balance work and my personal life all while battling the lack of daylight and it's not going very well. Can I please have the sun back?
