Lush Sole Revival



Oh-M-Gee is all I can really say about this summer Lush Must Have. A box full of goodies for your toesies!  ( Lets out a Tribal Yell, Ahhhh) When i heard that Lush was releasing this summer kit i ran to my local Lush spot and picked one up. Not only is the kit an all in one but each container has a coupon, Yes!

If you use up your product ( Like Volcano for example) if you return that container to your local Lush store and decided to purchase a full size you will receive 15% percent off... AMAZING right?

Each Kit Includes:

Volcano Foot Mask

I took this, plastic bags, and an open mind to a girl's night at a spa. After massages, I slathered this on our feet (hers--well manicured and lovely,) mine (callused, dry, cracked and a wreck since I NEVER wear shoes.)
Yes, it was a mess, no it didn't burn--just got warm. Her feet came out even softer, but mine were the true miracle. Calluses literally peeled off--a complete exfoliation pedicure never did such a good job! I was astonished and will save my money (LUSH is an expensive addiction) and get this again--and again--and again.

 

Little Feet Bath Bomb 

It like a bath bomb for your feet LOVE!  Enough said!

 

Running to the Embassy Body Butter

The first time I used Embassy I wet my feet in the bath tub, applied the bar of butter, then rinsed them and patted my feet dry. I felt like I had rinsed away all the butter although my feet felt much smoother.
The second time I used Embassy, I applied the bar of butter directly to dry feet before going to bed and decided this was how I would use it from now on. I liked the slight oil residue it left when applied to my dry feet. I rubbed the oil around on my feet to moisturize them while I slept. The scrubby particles are so subtle you don't even notice them and they are surprisingly effective despite how gently they exfoliate. I found the peppermint scent to be fresh and clean yet soothing.

Pied de Pepper Foot Lotion

Great smelling peppermint scented foot lotion , a little runny but great for tired tootsies! 

 

Fair Trade Foot Lotion

I use it at least 5 out of 7 days a week, but I am just not thrilled with the results. It smells nice, but it only really keeps my feet smooth for a few hours after I put it on. This says to me that this stuff is just not strong enough for my feet. I want something that, when used on a regular basis, keeps my feet smooth. Sadly, this means I will probably go back to what I was using.
Now, that said, if you are one of those people blessed with generally smooth feet that don't need a lot of care to stay that way, this would probably be great for you. It also makes a lovely massage lotion for feet, or anywhere really. The small is nice and uplifting, and it does a good job of moisturizing my hands. Overall, this is a good product, it is just not strong enough for my feet.

 

Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter

I am a life-long nail biter. My hands, particularly my cuticles were in terrible, peely, disgusting shape. Add to this the fact that I hate the way lotions and most cuticle treatments feel on my hands, and you have some pretty nasty fingers.

Until Lemony Flutter.
My hands, believe it or not, actually look and feel like real hands now -- no peely cuticles, no rough, sandpapery fingers... just happy, contented wigglies. AND, this stuff soaks in so fast, I don't have time to go "ew ew ew get it off" like I do with everything else I've tried to fix the problem. As an added bonus, you need so little product to sufficiently smooth into your fingers (even when they're as bad as mine) that this pot will seriously last you ages. THANK YOU, Lush!

Lush Ice Blue Soap





I fell in love with ice blue at first glance, hypnotized by its gorgeous translucent blueness, topped with a crust of sparkly white salt. The huge truckle looked so appealing that I couldn't resist buying a big slice of this aromatic soap. I adore this stuff!

All that tingly, minty goodness makes for an awesome shower, and although it melts away fairly quickly, this just gives me an excuse to go back and purchase some more. A LOT more!!

I found this soap to be generally great for everyday use. It's got a somewhat perfect manly scent, but not so overpowering to be a teenage boy's shower gel. It cleans super well and doesn't leave any residue (hard nor sticky).

Although, I will admit it lacks true moisturizing power. Best for guys in the shower or as a hand soap for something fun and different.

Lush Rock Star




I ordered this soap online because I heard sooo much great things about it. But when I got it, I was like ughh..yuck. It smells too sweet, just overwhelming to me. It almost smells a bit like the cough meds I used to take when I was a kid. But after I used it for a couple of times, I LOVE IT! The smell is less overpowering in the shower.

Gosh, and it's so moisturizing! Lathers up better than I thought, better than Honey I washed the Kids, which I LOVE, in my opinion! And the scent is growing on me now. OMG, I just can't get enough of it!

Lush Honey I Washed The Kids Soap



I adore Honey I Washed the Kids. The honey-toffee smell is absolutely to die for, and it lingers for quite some time. The scent fills the shower and then stays on the skin. What's better than that?

It lathers extremely well, and you don't need to use a lot of it to get it to bubble up.

It also leaves my skin feeling very clean and very smooth. One thing that I love to do is take a facial scrub Lush tin and put a little piece of the Honey i washed the Kids soap inside it then throw it in my purse. yeah yeah you may think of course so you can wash your hands with it on the go. Well yes that comes to mind but I also you it as a solid lotion bar. Yes! its that creamy and delicate that it absorbs within your skin and leaves a wonderfully soften skin behind!

Lush Ocean Salt


I was excited to use Ocean Sale Face & body scrub when I got home one brisk May day. It set me back a pretty penny but after having my recent education in Cosmetology I was excited to use a scrub that was 100% Natural and not full of crap!

When I opened the jar it was a shocking blue with what it looked like was Large Pop rocks on top ( That's the Ocean Salt) .

After the first use, my skin felt SO smooth and soft already! It irritated my cheeks a little as they were a bit dry (some stinging and they got some small red patches, but that went away as soon as I put moisturizer on), but for my forehead, nose and chin, it worked great! I've found that this product works the best after you wet your face with warm water -- after a hot shower is best, because your pores are open and the scrub can really work.

When you use this product, be careful about rubbing the product on -- just massage gently. I learned this the hard way... if you scrub hard, it hurts! The salt is abrasive and it does all the work for you. You also only need a tiny bit, which makes the pots a great bargain.

I also absolutely LOVE the smell of this -- it reminds me of a martini or a margarita or something like that. Yummy!

I've been using it nightly to even out my skin, but since I tend to have fairly dry skin, I'm going to start using it only once week.

All in all, this is the best face scrub I've ever used, and it's something I'm going to continue buying.
