My new LUSH Life


Hello loves,
Now that I am back, I would like to do a few posts about my new favorites that I discovered this spring at college. The first products that I am excited to share are from LUSH.

I had always wanted to give LUSH products a try, but there was never a store near me, and I try not to shop online if I don't have to. I’ve heard so many great reviews, and I was intrigued because they offer products that are safe for the environment and they do not use animal testing. These are both huge pluses for me. I had LUSH on my shopping list when I was at the Mall of America, but it was under renovation, so I couldn’t make a purchase. However, I stopped by the store near my University in Des Moines which I didn’t even realize existed! We had a nice little “tour” around the store and I quite obviously had to pick up a few products to try.

I have been using the Tea Tree Water toner twice a day, with a few spritzs before I go to bed and a few after I wash my face and before I put on my makeup in the morning. The spray smells so refreshing and has a cooling feeling on my skin. However, I am not sure if I’ve noticed much of a change in the way my skin looks or feels. I have naturally oily skin, but the product didn’t seem to do very much in regards to that. It is refreshing, but I’m not sure if it is a product I would purchase again. If I did decide to invest in the product in the future, I would be more likely to use it as a de-stresser spritz--it makes me feel calm and renewed.


I also picked up this Strawberry Feels Forever massage bar, and I am in love. It smells so good and leaves my skin feeling baby soft. Again, the smell is enough to make me want to continue to purchase this product--it is well worth it.
Although I haven’t actually had the chance to try this product, I have seen Zoe and other bloggers and Youtubers loving the bath bombs. I loved the design and scent, so I figured I would give the Pink Bath Bomb a try. I didn’t have a bath at my University, and I just got home last week, so I’m still transitioning and getting everything moved. It will be used soon, I promise. It smells really girly, almost reminding me of a candy shop. Maybe, if I really like it, I'll go buy some different bath bombs to try!


Having terrible blackheads, I wanted to find a product that could help me get rid of these pesky things. I was going to pick up a smaller container, and they didn’t have any available before I left to go back home, so I got a sampling of their Mask of Magnaminty. It smells great, especially if you have a liking for a minty fresh scent. I think I need to use the product a little longer to start to see real results, but there’s definitely some hope in this product. I am really considering ordering it online because it does seem to be helping my skin!

Have you ever tried any Lush products? What would you recommend I purchase the next time I visit?

Talk with you soon,
Maggie D. xx 

P.S.: I’ll be starting my ten and a half hour night shifts for my job tomorrow, so I’ll be figuring out my regular posting days soon. Thank you for understanding!

  1. Nice to see a review of the tea tree spray from somebody with oily skin, i'm the same and i've been umming and ahhing over this product for ages. I think i'll give it a miss if you haven't noticed much of a difference.

    I do use the emotional brilliance finishing powder by Lush though which is must for me to keep oil at bay and stop my makeup sliding around.

    Love your blog, followed :) <3

  5. Wow, these products look so great! I love the idea of a Tea Water Tree toner, sounds extremely refreshing :P Recently, I was at a spa when my manicurist asked me what toner I used... I responded that at the moment I don't use any (rather shamefacedly). So I should get one and this LUSH one looks great! It's funny because a new LUSH store is opening up right beside my workplace, we all have mixed feelings about it because of the strong smells but we'll see how it goes!

    1. Yeah, I would definitely give a toner at LUSH a try. They have so many products to choose from! And I can imagine all the smells, but on their own, each product smells so good. :)
