LUSH - Cruelty Free Cosmetics

Hey!

On my journey to live a cruelty free and healthy lifestyle I have been switching all of my products to ones that aren't tested on animals or use animal products. My friend Nicki (http://indigos-moon.blogspot.co.uk/) highly recommended LUSH cosmetics so I thought I'd give them a try and have to say I'm now a lush addict! Their products are pretty reasonabley priced, use recycled packaging and natural products which is good if you try to avoid loads of chemicals like me.

Here are some of my favourite products so far:

Oatifix Face Mask - £6.25 - https://www.lush.co.uk/products/oatifix

This face mask leaves my face so soft, even and smells lovely.  It has the consistency of porridge due to it containing oatmeal so is a bit weird at first to put on but is totally worth it! Just smooth it on your face, leave for 10 mins and you're left with exfoliated yet moisturised skin.

Dark Angels Cleanser - £6.40 - https://www.lush.co.uk/products/cleansers/dark-angels

I bought this cleanser as the one I wanted to get (angels on bare skin) was out of stock on the website but actually prefer this to the one I got afterwards. It contains charcoal, mud and sugar to give your face a proper scrub and exfoliation without being too harsh. You just get a small piece in your hand, add water and rub into a paste. It gets rid of all my dry and flakey skin which in turn means my foundation goes on better! I also prefer the smell of this one to the angels on bare skin.




Helping Hands Cream - £7.50 - https://www.lush.co.uk/products/helping-hands

I have always suffered with really dry hands due to working in places that involved getting my hands wet so have always searched for hand creams that actually help. Up to now the only one that has worked for me is the hemp one by body shop but can actually say this worked just as well. I also find that due to it being in a pot rather then tube I don't waste as much by accidently squeezing out too much.


I have also tried the happy hippy shower gel, american cream conditioner, angels on bare skin cleanser and celestial moisturiser which have been great.

My next goal is to find a great cruelty free foundation for pale skin so if anyone can recommend one please do! Feel free to leave your favourite product recommendations in the comments below :-)
