Shampoo -LUSH - Seanik
thebeautyis 1/16/2009 10:16:00 PM
I love this so much. A little drying, but nothing gets my hair so clean, and I love love love the smell. Also, I'm not the greenest person, but I like that once you use it all, there's no waste to get rid of. I can't stop recommending this.

Shampoo -LUSH - Godiva Solid 2 in 1
thebeautyis 1/16/2009 9:57:00 PM
According to LUSH, this product is ideal for my thick, wavy/curly hair. I bought this after falling in love with Seanik, and thought this must be even better because it was made for my hair. I bought it and took it a 1 1/2 week long trip. I miss my Seanik. The only thing I can really condone for this product is that it smells wonderful. It's a nice complement to the Fluff Eaze hair mask I love and use - the Jasmine scent is the same. However, this stuff does nothing for my hair. Also, the ingredients in the bar while using it come off in my hair! Not cool. I'm not taking this back home with me. I love LUSH's other products, but this one just doesn't fit the bill.

Lips -Tarte - 24.7 Lip Sheer in Thursday
thebeautyis 1/16/2009 9:49:00 PM
I love this lip sheer. The berry/rose color looks great on my super pale (NW20) skin - almost like a Snow White effect, but a little more pink than red. Just two things I don't like - the first one I bought was in October. On this one, the wheel on the bottom was loose or something and the stick kept getting caught in the cap. The second one I bought was in December, and the packaging is a bit different (the logo is horizontal instead of vertical). The top takes a little extra effort to secure.

Moisturizers -Philosophy - Hope in a Jar - for all skin types
thebeautyis 1/6/2009 12:50:00 PM
I don't really understand why this is a cult product. I used to use Clinique Dramatically Different and switched over to this for about a month, just to see what all the hype was about. My skin looks worse, redness is more apparent, and my nose is still super dry. And it's really expensive. The only thing I like is the packaging - unlike the mosturizers you squeeze out like lotion, you can use every bit of this. Won't be buying this again.

Masks -LUSH - BB Seaweed Face Mask
thebeautyis 12/31/2008 1:33:00 AM
I was looking for a product that would improve the breakouts I've been starting to get lately and reduce redness on my face. LUSH is one of my favorite beauty brands, and the girl working there said this would be a great product for my needs. I'm not crazy about this product. It was a nice mask - smells great, and reduced redness a little bit, but other than that, I couldn't really see a difference. I still have 3/4 a tub left, and it expires in about a week, so I'm going to give it another chance before giving up. Because LUSH's masks expire so quickly, you can be very liberal with your application, and that's a plus. The price is decent, too. You can get about 4 uses out of a tub. I only have time to use this about once a week, though. All in all, it was just okay.

Scrubs -LUSH - Ocean Salt
thebeautyis 12/31/2008 1:26:00 AM
I received a small tub of this in my Christmas Present set from LUSH. I came on here to read the reviews of my new goodies, and with all the conflicting reviews of this product, went promptly to my bathroom and tried it out on my combination/sensitive face to see if it was as abrasive as everyone says it is. I think this product is a great exfoliator for your face. Those who are saying it's too abrasive must be scrubbing really hard on your skin. I rubbed it in very lightly on my wet face, left it for about twenty seconds, and washed it off. My skin is a little glowier (though nothing to write home about) but the real story is how soft my face feels! I have yet to use this on my body, but will definitely do so later. I also love the taste (should it get on my lips when exfoliating...I'm not eating it!) and smell. It reminds me of swimming in the ocean. All in all, love it.
