Mini Personal Reviews: Ultra-light, Space Girl, Lovely Jubblies, etc...
Hey Lushies! :)
Since I live in Oklahoma which has no LUSH to claim for its own (yet, boohoo) I made sure to visit them as much as I could during my recent visit to San Francisco last week! It still amazes me that a city can have TWO LUSH locations...sigh, them San Franciscans are spoiled ;P
Anyway, while I was there I was able to get some products I've been meaning to try out as well as get some of the usuals (such as: Honey Trap, Alkmaar soap, face toner, and some shower gel). What I managed to get and/or try out that was new for me were a few really cool things!
Space Girl: This ballistic makes such pretty sparkly water! It's light on color (only produced a slight lavender shade) but the shimmer in the water was a nice touch. It is also very fragrant and smelled great! The ballistics I have tried beforehand were disappointing in this regard (such as Sex Bomb and Vanilla Fountain) so it was exciting to finally find a bath bomb that can pack a potent smell in the tub. Recommended.
Ultralight: I only got a sample of this stuff and so far I enjoy it. It's light on my face (duh), lacks any fragrance and since my skin is blissfully problem-free I don't need much maintenance besides cleaning every day (which is done mostly by my face toner). I typically don't use any moisturizers or cleansers on my face but I can easily see myself incorporating Ultralight into my daily regimen. The only downside I've found so far is that living in a place that reaches around 100 degrees F doesn't mesh well with a face that's recently been moisturized lol. Sweat is my enemy!
Lovely Jubblies: Another sample I received. This stuff smells wonderful; reminds me a bit of gardenia but with other scents as well. The cream itself is slightly thick but easy to smooth over the skin and absorbs quick enough. I've used it for two days and haven't noticed anything, haha, but maybe in the week or so to come I will :P But the smell...mmm, I wish I got a whole pot; I'd use it as a regular lotion if I could.
Mini Lotion Pots: Such a cool idea! Now you can carry little pots of Dream Cream, Karma Kream and Creme Anglaise in your pocket! I got one of each and gave Karma to my mom. I'd recommend these to those who want to carry some hand lotion on hand in their bags; they're a little too small to use as travel sizes I think (unless you wanna go through the whole little pot or two anyway).
Silky Underwear: I was ALMOST sold on this, however I never use powders of any kind. It's light on smell, has no talc (which makes it acceptable to use on your lady bits), and really makes your skin super soft in conjunction with a lotion (such as Vanilla Deelite). My mom purchased some instead so I may have to snag it from her from time to time~
