My mom loves me.

I love Lush. I have loved Lush ever since the day I walked into the shop on Graffton Street in Dublin, Ireland and bought Flying Fox shower gel.  Like literal love at first sight!  If you don't know what Lush is it is a handmade cosmetics (but really just bath/shower products and skincare stuff) shop full of natural, creative and delicious smelling things of wonder! And did I mention I'm obsessed??

While home for barely four weeks I have been to three different Lush shops four different times.

Obsessed.

But in my defense, they don't have a Lush in Utah let alone Idaho.  So when I'm home I try to stock up and usually I only get things like cool bubble bars (like bars of soap that when you stick in the tub they makes billions of bubbles for the most delicious smelling, colored bath) or bath bombs (you know, those chalky balls that fizz in your bath) but this summer I have gone CRAZY.  I have realized that I need to take better care of my skin.  I've never had pizza face or anything so I just never really gotten in the habit of religiously washing my face or anything and when I say that it sounds really gross. Oh well, I'm a changed woman now.  But anyways, I have gotten into Lush's skincare lines and products and boyyyy do they have a lot!

What I love about their stuff is:
1. They have all natural things in them like rosemary, ground almonds, seaweed even
2. They don't have any preservatives
3. They are just plain fun and not boring like cetaphil or some other white cream in a bottle from the drugstore
and finally and most importantly...
4. THEY WORK.

I have been using a few products that my face is loving! I'm so glad to have found stuff that works for my sensitive skin and that I like using since it is fun.

For those not interested here is what I'm using:

FRESH FARMACY: This cleanser is really good for acne prone, rosacea prone, irritated skin.  Like a bar of soap you kinda just scrub your face with it and if you looked up "squeaky clean" in the cliche dictionary... this would be the image attached.  When I rinse it off my face with water my face literally squeaks. I'm dead serious.  But I like it!

HERBALISM: You love the look of this don't you?  This green clay based cleanser is my face's best friend.  It's packed with rosemary and ground almonds so it exfoliates whilst cleansing.  Double trouble! But I really like this stuff even though it smells like putting a farm on my face. Or maybe a garden is more appropriate... that sounds less gross.

TEA TREE WATER: Now, you would think this is just water in a bottle but it is not! This little spritzer does a lot! Tea tree oil is really good for your skin and is an antibacterial so it fights acne while killing bacteria while freshening up your tired face!  I have found it's also good at setting makeup!  I use this every morning and night and sometimes during the day for a quick pick me up.


Now for the product you have all been waiting for and the reason my mom loves me.... drum roll pleeeaaassseeeee.....

VANISHING CREAM: This little tub of goodness (and yes, it is very little) was $40. Yikes.  But it is worth it because it seriously makes my skin great.  It is so light and packed with good zit fighting things that it just makes me smile thinking about it.  And my mom bought the full size for me the other day and I am so in love with it! The good thing about it costing so much is that I will be using it sparingly which is already hard to do because you need so little of it to begin with and it should last me about 7-9 months :)

So there you have it... my Lush skincare favorites! Soon I will do a miscellaneous Lush favorites post because the shop is so great and I love love love so many things on it!

Thanks for reading!
Happy "I Have  A Dream" Speech Anniversary Day!
