Last year when I was living in the UK, I finally got the chance to try out LUSH! Unfortunately we do not have a LUSH store in Greece, so I was super excited to get some of their products. Naturally I became addicted to them quite fast and I wanted to share my favorite Lush products with you.
1. LUSH Retread Conditioner
This is the most amazing conditioner ever. It is definitely a HG product for me and I will repurchase it forever, unless for some reason I decide to stop washing my hair! :P It is a thick conditioner and a little goes a long way! I have really thick hair and light conditioners never work out for me. This has the perfect consistency, but if you have fine hair I would suggest that you use it more as a hair treatment once a week.
I really like the smell which is kind of perfume-y. The conditioner has cantaloupe melon and yogurt in it, but you can't really smell either. Maybe the melon a little bit, but in a very nice and subtle way. When I had really long hair, this would last me for 2 months, but now
that my hair is shorter, I'm sure it will last me longer.
2. LUSH Mint Julips
This is a lip scrub that smells and tastes like mint and chocolate. I use this every night before i go to bed by scrubbing a little amount on my lips and then licking it of. Don't worry! It is totally safe to eat! It leaves my lips really soft and ready for my lip balm. In all honesty you could make a lip scrub yourself with some sugar and honey, but its taste has me hooked!
3. LUSH Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask
The fresh face masks from Lush are known for being really good! The one I have found that works best for my mess of a skin (oily T-zone, occasional spots, occasional dryness on my forehead and nose, overall redness and sensitivity.. ) is Catastrophe Cosmetic. Let me start by saying that for me this product is a great pick me up for a special occassion. It does not do anything amazing for my skin in the long-term, but for a day after I use it my skin looks clean, supple and glowy!
The main ingredient is blueberries (full of antioxidants and really good for your skin), which explains the blue color and the unbelievable smell. The pot might look small to some, but LUSH fresh masks expire within a month and the amount is more than enough for that. I get 5 uses out of one pot and I use it every 5 days.
Gina's tip: Take any five empty pots and get a free face mask!
4. LUSH Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter
This is a body butter from LUSH, which is used in the shower to exfoliate and moisturize your skin at the same time. This smells like almonds, which is one of my favorite scents, and contains almond and cocoa butter. I use this once a week and it leaves my skin really soft, however I have pretty dry skin so I definitely need to moisturize after. I prefer to use it on wet skin, but you can try it on dry skin for a rough exfoliation. This product is really good, not too harsh and it doesn't leave the greasy layer that Buffy Body Butter does. If you are in the market for such a product, give it a try!

Gina's tip: Cut it in slices and keep it out of the shower! If you use the whole thing while taking a shower, you will run out sooner rather than later. It melts really fast under water.
