Today, we're going to talk about Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics.
If you don't know about Lush, I recommend you seek one out. We didn't have one in Jacksonville until the last year and now we have two, one at The Avenues and one at St. Johns Town Center. If you do know about Lush, you might think it's a place that just has bath bombs and soap. While they do have those things (and they're awesome), check out these lesser known products that I discovered on a recent trip to the mall.
The first is Silky Underwear Dusting Powder. "Ew," you may think. I understand. But let's be real. You have some places on your body that could use a little less moisture.
I bought this bottle on a recommendation from Tumblr as a great chub rub (or "thighfire," as my friend C and I call it--you know, because you're rubbing two sticks together and creating a lot of heat) solution. It's great for that. The powder soaks up moisture and the cocoa butter keeps you from getting all bumpy and sticky. Amaze.
But I've started putting it other places, too. I'm a die-hard flip flop girl, and so when I put on regular shoes the footsweats seem terrible. A little dusting in my favorite flats, no more footsweat. And it makes them smell like jasmine. It's great for that underboob sweat rash too and, yes, put it in your underpants. EVERYTHING SMELLS BETTER AND IS DRIER, GUISE. EVERYTHING.
A 2-oz bottle is a paltry $7.95.
The second thing I discovered was the massage bar.
The girl that works at Lush suggested it and gave me a nice arm massage with one. I couldn't resist. I got this one, called "Wiccy Magic Muscles." It smells amazing, like mint and cinnamon, and it makes your skin feel a little tingly. This one was $10.95, but they range in price from $7.45 to $13.95.
To use, you take it and rub it in your hands for a bit so the oils in it get kinda melty and then rub it around on the person you're massaging a bit, but not too much! Then you'll have to massage 'em all day because the oils just keep going and I mean, you don't want to spoil him/her.
G loves this thing. Its oils actually rub into your skin, but not too fast, and having them makes it a lot easier to rub because your hands just glide over the skin. I find I can rub his tired after-work muscles for a long time if I've lubed his back up with the massage bar.
Last but not least is Lemony Flutter.
I got a sample of this because I was already spending too much money but it's definitely worth the $16.95 for a pot if you have problems with dry cuticles.
It smells like Jesus. If Jesus was a lemon cake.
It's not exactly lotion, it's more like cuticle oil. But it's good for your hands and the dry parts on your feet and pretty much anything else that needs serious moisture. I put it on my hands when I don't need it just so I can smell it later.
Anyway, Lush is awesome. If I had more money I'd spend it all there.
