You know I hate when people use the word normal. I don't know why that offends me. I think it's something to do with the way everyone expects you to conform. I also hate when people try to sell you insurance at 10 o'clock at night. Another thing I hate is when Lush discontinues my favourite things! It is good to know those things are being replaced with new goodies but still...
With all the things I've bought and used from Lush you would think it would be easy to select a couple of favourites. It's actually quite hard. But here is my top 3:
1. American Cream hair conditioner. When I first smelled this I wasn't keen, I thought it smelt like ash (!) but after a few uses I simply adore the smell. It's like a 'dirty' vanilla smell. By that I mean vanilla in a leather jacket rather than dancing in a pink fairy suit. Not that it smells unclean. My hair is coloured and regularly straightened and this is enough conditioning for my hair. That's quite a feat. Prior to this I was using intensive hair masks and I find it equally as good as those but it's the scent that makes it. It lingers on your hair till the next wash, you don't need much so it works out as fair value and it is a smell that compliments so many other Lush products.
2. Comforter bubble bar. If you use Lush you will be more than familiar with this. It's a blackcurrant bubble explosion for your tub. Rich and deeply scented, this bubble bar is also softening and colours the bath a lovely rich pinky purple. The bar itself is enough for 4 generous baths if you like lots of gorgeously fragranced bubbles. It's fab all alone or to mix with other fruity or sweet scents.
3. Finally it's my beloved Candy Fluff dusting powder. This is a balls out, 10 foot, glittery pink fairy. In all seriousness I think the dusting powders aren't given enough credit. You can use them after a massage bar to soak up some of the excess oils, after a bath or in sticky weather to dry you off, as a substitute deodorant, in your shoes to keep your tootsies dry and smelling fresh, shake on the carpet and vacuum a little later a la shake 'n' vac or even a little sprinkle on your mattress and pillows before you put on your bed linen. The possibilities are endless! The smell of this particular powder is likened to Snow Fairy but I can tell the difference. I find it less cloying and far fresher than that. It has sparkly bits in too so looks amazing on the skin. Great value as it lasts an age- my 1st pot lasted almost 3 months!
Oh! And another thing I hate: when my laptop runs out of battery (without telling me) while I'm halfway through a post!
