*I WROTE THIS POST A VERY LONG TIME AGO BUT FORGOT TO POST IT. I, HOWEVER, AM STILL GOING TO POST IT, DESPITE THE FACT IT'S OLD. ENJOY ANYWAY!*
As per, my posts have been long apart, however this time I have a much more interesting read
(hopefully interesting, anyway) and that is...
LUSH. As many of you may know, I love a good lush product. I love that they're natural, cater for everyone and smell, well... Lush.
SOOOOOOO, as pay day has long been and gone, I was happy to see the amount that I had earned and thought I should treat myself to a few Lush goodies. Some of these products I have used in the past and so have bought them again because I love them, however, I also thought I'd go for a few different things to what I usually buy.

First of all, I did go into Lush with a problem in mind and that was the dreaded
cellulite. A lot of people have cellulite and I am one of those unfortunate people. I
don't have it
SUPERBADOMG, but it is enough to bother me. So along with
(attempting to) eating healthy, working out and drinking plenty of water, I wanted something else to help bring down the appearance.
Looking online gave me a lot of help and I found that many people said
'Buffy' helped them with the lumps and bumps on their bums, however, after talking to two different people who work in Lush, they said that
'sugar scrub' works best for cellulite.
SUGAR SCRUB
Priced at a very decent price of
'£2.95', it will definitely last you a good amount of time.
"Scrub up nicely with this mix of sugar, grated ginger and fresh fennel
that’s not only great for brightening the skin, but also helps to boost
circulation and buff the skin. Use a little of this intense scrub and
gently exfoliate the skin while its ingredients get to work stimulating
the tissue below." - Lush site.
I've used this three times
(there is no limit to how often you can use it) however, the texture is scratchy and so people with sensitive skin may want to use it not so often.
I have noticed a small difference since I've used it and the lumps and bumps are not as noticeable, hopefully with more use they'll be even less noticeable.
I'm very impressed with this product and as well as the very good price, I will definitely be buying this again.
HOW TO USE: Break off a as much as you want each time and rub it into wet skin.
DO NOT wet the whole product
(like I did the first time I got it) as the product will break apart into mush and make a mess on your side.

Not only did I buy Sugar Scrub, but I also did buy 'Buffy', purely from the good reviews that I saw online and thought it would be worth it to try the product out. I haven't yet used it as I am waiting until I have used 'Sugar Scrub' up, but from talking to a member of staff at the store, they said it leaves the skin feeling silky soft after use - and that's always a good thing.
Having a bath can be both annoying and good - annoying purely for the fact that sometimes a quick shower is needed. However, the main good thing about a bath (besides it being relaxing) is the fact that you can use bath bombs/bubbles/melts. Whilst in the store to buy my cellulite saving products, I couldn't help but buy a few bath bombs (that I have already used).
Blackberry Bath Bomb
Ickle Baby Bot
Sex Bomb
And finally, I asked for help on products for my face. I no longer have huge spots surrounding my face and the redness has gone. However, there are tiny red dots left and I wanted something that would keep the quality of my skin the same, but finally remove the red dots. I understand that using face masks will bring out any looming spots and then take them all away, but I didn't want something that would momentarily bring my spots out.
So due to being unsure of what product to use, I was given a free sample of 'Fresh Farmacy'. I have only used this once so far and it definitely made my face look fresh. I feel that I need to use it more than once to see if it will actually bring down the red dots, but fingers crossed!
To use this, you just rub it into wet hands or onto a wet face. I usually leave it a little while before washing it off. I felt like my face was literally squeaky clean and it made the appearance of my skin look bright and soft. I'm definitely considering buying this product, however I want to use it a little more before I make a firm decision.
Price: £4.75
