The product that started the emergency “Jared Leto is demanding I fly away with him” collection was the Lush Charity Pot samples you can buy for £1. You’re usually asked if you want to purchase these at the checkout in Lush and I always say yes as they’re cheap, they’re convenient and the majority of the £1 goes to charity. If I’m staying anywhere that isn’t my home for a day or so, I have one of these in my bag so I can ensure I’m fully moisturised at all times. I can’t have any dry skin for that private island after all.
Another Lush related product (are we seeing a trend in this post already?) in the collection is a small bottle of their shower gel. I usually have a few of these in a cupboard and one of them on the go in the shower so I’m never short of them. I love throwing a bottle into an overnight bag as they take up very little room and I’ve yet to experience a shower gel related explosion with them. Cutting a bit off of some Lush soap – or any soap for that matter – and carrying it in a small container is also a rather handy way of making sure you have something to wash yourself with.
Now if there’s one thing I forget whenever I’m away from home, it’s makeup remover. Usually, makeup remover is too big and bulky to fit in the small albeit very cute bags I insist on using so it’s typically abandoned. Fortunately for me, Garnier brought out the travel size of their popular Micellar Cleansing Water which means I have no excuse to forget it. The only downside is it’s 25ml over the limit for carrying in your hand luggage when flying. How am I going to get it on the plane to that island if I don’t have checked luggage?
Finally, we have another Lush product and that’s one of their many shampoo bars. The one I have at the moment is Honey, I Washed the Kids and I’m saving it for an excursion that goes beyond camping in some random field. The reason I like the shampoo bars for travelling is because I’ve experienced the devastating moment where I’ve opened my bag to find my shampoo has leaked all over my stuff far too many times. Fortunately, as the shampoo bar is solid, it doesn’t leak everywhere making it perfect to travel with. The only problem I have with it is the shampoo bar tins Lush sell aren’t big enough for the bars. Silly isn’t it!
I think it’s safe to say, I am prepared for that private island phone call. All I’d have to do is throw these products in a bag, figure out how to get 10 pairs of shoes in there with them and run off to the airport. Why I don’t seem to be bringing any clothes is beyond me though. Is this island going to be warm?
Tell me what your favourite “convenient” products are!
