My Lush Addiction

Hello everybody, my name is Lara and I am a Lush-aholic. Man it feels good to get that off my chest.

It's been a very long while since I've written a post on here, there's been so much going on in the past 6 months that blogging hasn't been in the top of my list of priorities, and that truly makes me sad! But as things have started to calm down the urge to ramble to the internet has grown greater and greater, and I just can't resist anymore! My latest addiction seemed like the best thing to talk about as it has well and truly taken over my life - for the better!

I live an hour away from my closest Lush store in Exeter (which is probably a good thing for my bank account) so the trips I take there are really a rare and brilliant experience, you just don't get the amazing smells and sights and atmosphere on the website! My most recent trip a few weeks ago was the turning point from a casual love affair to a full blown obsession.



I have loved Lush for a very very long time, well who doesn't really, but recently I've found it impossible to go a day without using one or more of their products. I'm scanning the website and the catalogue multiple times a day without even thinking about it, it's just routine. Usually I'm quite good when it comes to self control, buying one ballistic a week as a sort of moderation, however I had a massive splurge (oops) which was delivered today to my absolute delight, so I now have enough to last at least a month! Here's what I'll be indulging in...



  • VANILLA PUFF - Dusting powder that smells deliciously of Vanilla and childhood dreams.

  • MMMELTING MARSHMALLOW MOMENT - Bath melt of frothy pink goodness.

  • ROSE JAM BUBBLEROON - My favourite scent from Lush in a cute Macaroon shaped parcel.

  • BRIGHTSIDE - Orange bubbly wonder.

  • YOU'VE BEEN MANGOED - Soft and fruity melt.

  • SHIMMY SHIMMY - Massage bar, super moisturising and shiny!!

  • DRAGONS EGG - Ballistic with hidden goodies.

  • KARMA KREAM - A freebie thrown in (thanks Lush!) Super soft and exotic moisturiser.

As of yet I haven't tried any of these, but I'll be sure to review and enjoy, and maybe I'll get a new all time favourite Lush product! This haul is adding to my already quite large existing collection, so I'm not even ashamed at the amount I bought, it'll last for ages and bring some good happy vibes into my skincare routine. If there's any amazing products that may be some of your favourites do let me know, there's not many products I'm yet to experience but if I'm missing out on something incredible I want to hear about it!
