Review: Lush's Big shampoo


I got this in a small jar with the hair kit. This is what the Lush US site has about BIG

"Lemon-lime margarita shampoo adds shine and body to fine hairThe difference between a hefty, healthy hairdo and a lot of limp, lackluster locks? It's this saucy, sassy, salty shampoo! BIG combines shine-enhancing citrus juices with the beautifying, hair-buffing impact of sea salt and genuine sea water for a body-building regimen your fine hair won't sweat over. Good things can come in small packages, but for body-boosting boom you can't beat BIG! ""


So i've tried this about three times... to be honest i love love it...it really helps with volume.. its not that dramatic but I have long straight hair and it really lacked body... i didn't realise it worked until i took a picture out and someone commented that my hair looked really nice and it looked like it had volume.. i had not put anything in it for volume except washing it with BIG.


After i got the compliment i decided to do a little research on the idea of sea salt, since I was told this is what give volume to hair in the BIG. Boy was i surprised when i realise ppl were bottling sea salt and making spritzers and jars full of sea salt scalp scrub or gel.


I decided to get my hand on some sea salt and maybe try this with my regular shampoo. I will add the sea salt to my regular shampoo and see if I will get volume to my hair. Other ingredients that are found in BIG that I could get my hands on are: organic lemon and lime juice, abd extra virgin coconut oil. So, I will add these to my regular shampoo and see if it'll work. I'll get back to you guys on this in about a week or two. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know... but definitely love the BIG, if my experiment does not work, I will surely go back to Lush and get myself a tub of BIG.

Lush Store Haul

Hey all,

I hope everyone is doing great.. I had this haul to do since last weekend but last week was really crazy.. I went to Lush simply to just get a piece of Ice Blue for hubby and a face mask instead i ended up with all these.. its not a lot but i should have refrained :)


I got the 7 or 9 piece head kit cant' remember lol.... but i got cupcake face mask, a piece of ice blue and a sample of demon in the dark [wanted to try this out also]. In the kit i got trichomania solid shampoo, Big hair gel, the big tease shampoo, i can't remember the name of the shampoo bar but i got the one that smells really aweful ;} and i have two samples in the refrigerator that I can't remember now. I will definitely try out the mask today and do a review on it by weekend. I also have a Lush UK haul to show you also... until then.. hope you are enjoying your day...

Lush: Ice Blue soap


This is one of my favorite Lush soap. My DH loves it also, actually everyone i've introduced Lush to love this.. simply because of its clean and fresh scent.. its absolutely refreshing. Its minty in nature but it has a cold and calming effect .. absolutely love it.. oh i ordered a piece from the UK site [have a haul to show you from there] and also I went to a Lush on Sunday and I bought another piece...i gotta stock up cause everyone around me seems to love this one also... definitely one of my favs.

Lush Porridge soap review..

I'm so sorry that I have not been keeping up to date with this blog, work has me soooo busy. I wanted to do this review a long time ago.



This was the 2nd soap i used from my first lush haul. And omg, i was upset i didn't try it before. this will be one of my favorites... i love love... did i say love... this soap. love the scent ... i wanted to take a bite :) its so yummy, it has like a caramel, toffee kinda scent to it.. and its really creamy also. It lathers really well too... the pieces of oats that are in it can be quite a bit messy for your bath/shower, all you need to do is rinse the area that has the fall outs. Another thing i noticed though is that because its creamy it melts pretty fast, you will need to make sure it dries well between use, so that it does not melt in your hands when you are in the shower. I would keep smelling my skin after shower.. one set back i noticed is that my skin is a lil bit dry after, but i use lotion so that isn't a prob. If you haven't purchased this soap from lush i definitely would recommend you to rush into lush and grab yourself a piece. Its not one of the expensive soaps from Lush, so you can grab yourself quite a bit :) Definitely buying this again... oh wait i already bought myself another piece :)

Review on Lush's SEXY PEEL soap


As promised as I use the soaps I will give my simple "in my opinion" reviews. I personally do not like lemon or lime products.. but my hubby loves citrus smelling things, so I decided to try this. I am glad that I did. It has a very refreshing zing to it... and i love love how it has citrus peel in the soap itself. It lathers well and as you use it the citrus peel comes out and does a little exfoliating.. but it smells up your shower.. you can't help but feel refreshed... so i used this on mornings..its not particularly moisturizing, but it doesn't dry out your skin either... when i use it i would simply come out of the shower and do my lotion as usual.. I bought a chunk that was worth like $7.00 and i cut a small piece out of it, I think I can get about 4 more good size pieces similar to the one I used for the sample. I was able to get about 6 showers with that chunk.. and i really did use it.. at first I didn't want to stop bathing :) lol or come out of the shower.. so I think its economical, its lathers great, the smell is absolutely refreshing, it leaves your shower smelling really yummy...will definitely buy again :) Hope my little review will convince you enough to at least try a sample when next you are visiting your Lush store.... have a good one... bye...
