Lush Oxford Street

So last Sunday - the bestest and sunniest weekend of the year so far - I took a trip into Central to take part in a Lush face mask workshop at their flagship store in Oxford Street. The event was hosted by Blogosphere magazine. In case you haven't heard of it Blogosphere Magazine is a curated directory of the best bits of the blogging world - and is well worth a read! 

After a quick meet and greet with the other bloggers at the event (everyone is always so so lovely!) we were given a private tour of the store. It's massive! And, would you believe, includes its own luxury spa treatment rooms. I AM GOING BACK FOR A TREATMENT! 

In love at the Lush #bblogger facemask workshop! #bbloggers #lushcosmetics #beauty #facemask

Lush is a well-known brand globally and I don't think there is a girl around who can say she hasn't been tempted in by the gorgeous smells and fab colours of their products. However, I really didn't realise the extent to which their products and sourced, designed nor how fresh and harsh chemical-free they are. It really struck me.

I read recently that is only takes 26 seconds for the chemicals in your beauty products to get into your bloodstream through your skin. Although that is of course dependant on the chemical, the area of the skin, the individual (the list goes on) it really made me think about what I'm lathering onto myself these days.

So when we sat down and were told about the natural and fresh ingredients in all of Lush's products I was impressed. Making the face mask was perfect proof.. plenty of popping fresh blueberries! 

We made the Catastrophic Cosmetic Mask using fresh blueberries, calamine and chamomile, rose, and almond oils.

It was such a fantastic morning learning, chatting and creating. My little pot of handmade fresh Catastrophic Cosmetic Mask smells divine and I can't wait to try it out! 

What's your favourite Lush product?

LUSH candy fluff review

Heya Girlies, Hope you're having a fab bank holiday!

I got this Candy Fluff Body Powder from the lovely people at Lush, specially hand-made just for me by a guy in a yellow Tee :) I do lovelovelove Lush products. I usually go for the handmade bath bombs and soaps but this Talc caught my eye.

It's just boring normal talc but the thing that grabbed me was the SPARKLE! (suprise suprise!). The talc has lots of little silver glitter sparkles that make it just that little bit special. The photo above doesn't really show how much glitter there is.

The smell of the powder is amazaballs too! There's something lovely and heartwarming about the smell of Talc I think and adding just a touch of flowery perfume is even better. After a shower I sprinkle just a little bit over myself and my skin feels silky soft as well as squeaky clean. The only thing I hate is that I seem to get it all over the bathroom floor too! Wish I wasn't so clumsy :)



Love LauraClaire
