LUSH

So I bought this because I have very dry damaged ends and cold dry winters make them worse. I figured this would at least help protect my hair. At first I was disappointed having spent 45$ on something that made my hair limp and knotty and greasy all at once while my ends remained dry. BUT THEN I tried a new method to using it. I apply it to clean damp hair ONLY never on dry hair. To apply it i take a small amount in my palms and EMULSIFY IT rub it till it's completely white and then apply. I'm convinced the reason some people are getting bad results is because they did what I did the first time. Now that I've discovered the proper way to use it I couldn't live without it! Its completely TRANSFORMED my hair, the dryness and breakage is cured. I haven't had to get even a trim in 6 months thanks to this stuff usually I'd have to cut off 3 inches by now. My hair is silky healthy and beautiful thanks to this miracle.

I use this every single night on top of my serum (Estee Lauder) and find that my skin is extremely glow-y (not greasy) in the morning when I wake up. The consistency is absolutely perfect for my dry, sensitive, acne prone skin and only a small amount is needed. Every time I go through a pot (lasts me about 6-8 months), I try to get adventurous and think "maybe I should try a more luxurious, 'adult' product", my skin ends up retaliating by developing either dry patches or acne. I have no clue why this product works so well for me. Some downsides are the smell which is fairly neutral but a little "odd" (definitely not overpowering or lingering though) and the price which is a bit steep for a simple moisturizer. I have been repurchasing this for about 2 years now and I experience almost instant regret every time I try to replace it with a different, more "fancy", night cream. I also tried wearing it during the day but find that it gives me just a littleeee bit more shine than I would like (I don't routinely like to use primer).

This is the first time I have tried a product of this type. I like the smell of this massage bar - indulgent chocolate. And I like how it melts in your hands or on the skin you apply it to. In fact I like so much about it that I feel mean giving it such a low score. Yet the chocolate centre is a disaster. My bar had a big chocolate centre (I think they vary as they are made individually) and it melt onto the skin, but it doesn't rub in, so you end up with bits of chocolate all over the bed sheets, the body and all over your hands - not the most romantic experience. I would certainly buy other massage bars by LUSH, just not this one.
