Banana Skin facial oil

5 out of 5 rating. See my 3 minute demo video of this facial oil below.

This is a solid facial oil. Lush has introduced four kinds. Some of you might be famiar with the popular 7 step korean skin care method. I follow the korean beauty trend. I also have been using the facial oils from the U.S. brand Sunday Riley. I love what facial oils do for my face.

So i was excited that Lush had created their own facial oils. And Lush went a step further by making their facial oils packageless, and solid.

I got all of them from the Lush 2018 creative showcase in Manchester England.

I wanted to try this Banana Skin first to review for you, mostly because this one is what my skin needs. Its nourishing and moisturizing for drier skin.

Right off the bat i can feel the difference tapioca flour that Lush adds to their facial oils makes. It makes it more of a dry oil, which i Love. If theres one thing i hate its having greasy/oily stuff lingering too long on my skin.

The scent is like custard. Lush adds tonka bean to this blend. In face there are SO many good things in this bar.

Lush uses tincture of bananas, which is factory waste, in the banana skin facial oil.

Then Lush adds mango butter, fresh bananas, organic grapeseed oil, apricot kernel oil, Ambrett seed oil, murumuru butter, Illipe butter, cupuacu butter, jojoba oil and sandalwood oil.

I love how it feels and how it works. I live that it sinks into my skin so fast. I can use a lot of this and my face will never get greasy.

I would say this performs as well as my sunday riley facial oils and my korean brands.

My skin looks great!

Heres my 3 minute video

Six

4 out of 5 rating.

see my 3 minute Tub Demo and Review video below.

This is a re-usable bubble bar for Valentine’s 2019.

Lush made this with their popular Yog Nog scent.

As i explain in the video, yog nog smells like a combination of eggnog and burnt sugar, like creme brulee topping.

While this reusable style doesnt have the yummy, squishy decadence that the yog Nog yule log bubble bar has, it does have that same amount of yummy scent.

I was impressed with how strongly this was scented even while i had it unddr the waterstream.

It made a TON of bubbles in my bath..and it didnt even look like it had been used at all!

So its QUITE econimcal to use.

They have a blue and yellow striped six bar and a pink and yellow striped bar.

The pink one made a lovely baby pink color to the water.

American Cream shower gel

3 out of 5 rating.

See my 8 minute video below. I worked very hard in this video to describe exactly what the scent smells like so you can make your best purchasing choices. 🙂

Here is a photo i took of the Lush products made in this scent.

the liquid version is on the thin side.

oddly i enjoyed washing with the naked version a bit more.

American Cream is a vanilla based scent which also has clary sage, and lavender as its scent components.  The hair conditioner added strawberry.  The other American Cream products have strawberry in them…but….American Cream products do not smell like strawberry.  It’s made with strawberry, it’s not strawberry scented. And in the perfumery industry there IS a difference between those two sentences. :-

I like to make that clear, so that people won’t spend their hard earned money on something that they think will be strawberry scented, only to be disappointed when it’s not.

My review and demo video 🙂

The Big Banana

3.5 out of 5 rating. See my demo and review video below.

This has its own new scent which is made with almond essential oil, ylang ylang flower oil, orange oil, clove bud oil, and mashed banana. Along with shea butter and other skin moisturizing goodies to add the proper amount of slip for a massage.

I am living for the various fruit shaped products that Lush have been making and selling exclusively since Sept 2018

The Big Banana has a nice smell. It doesnt smell like banana runts candy. Its a light, more natural banana scent.

The consistency is oily.

Its not like sympathy for the skin in scent which is more earthy imo.

here is my video i recorded for you which helps explain the scent and shows the consistency.

Love Island scrub

3 out of 5 rating

See my Sink Demo Video below.

love island is a sand based body scrub. Its a small one. It’s good that its smaller though because this style of scrub does tend to dry out faster. So one should use it right away or else cover it in an empty black lush pot.

Its a coarser grade scrub than many of lush different scrubs. But it makes sense that this one is made out of sand, since itssupposed to be reminiscent of an island after all.

Lush made this scrub with their Love fragrance which is a lemon, rose, jasmine, apple and cinnamon scent. I describe the ingredients on my video.

Here’s my 2 minute demo video i recorded for you.

Peachy

5 out of 5 rating

See my 2 minute tub demo below.

WoW. This is a perfect rendition of a peach. The way the bath bomb is designed and the shading of color that is placed on it. The gorgeous peach scent.

This is a bath bomb i couldnt resist. I know i cant be alone with my obsession of special shaped bath bombs.

And lately, in the last three months, Lush has been introducing many new, exclusive bath bombs which are fruit shaped. This Peachy bath bonb has got to be the most gorgeous one in my opinion. I had to buy moee than one because otherwide it would be simply too cute to use. I would just want to stare at it everyday. 🙂

I love the golden peach colored water. Its a slow foamy fizzer in the water as you can see in my tub demo video.

It also has a gorgeous peach colored shimmer.

Its not particularly conditioning but its not drying to my skin either.
