Lush Putty For Your Hands

I'm not really one to take especial care of my hands even though my mom always tells me I have to at least put lotion on them after washing them and maybe that's why my hands are so dry. It may also have to do with the fact that my skin gets really dry with regular hand soap, that's why this product is perfect for me.

  A little fact about me, soaps are one of my favorite products from Lush mainly because of the strong smell even when stored, the smell is so strong it fills my room. So of course this being one of the few all year round soaps that I hadn't tried yet I had to get it. When my package arrived, the smell of this soap was overpowered by all the naked products, especially by the new hair shampoo bar which has a really strong scent, but upon opening the wrapper a really herbal smell really hits you,you can detect the lavander, it doesn't smell anything like any other Lush soap offers but it's quite nice.

 Lush advertises this as a 100% natural product which I must say is a really nice change because SLS tends to dry my hands quite a bit. It contains no soap which means the antibacterial properties come from the tea tree oil and also because of this it doesn't lather. Before I started using Lush products I always felt the foam was necessary to feel clean but after using the facial cleansers I realized the foam is unnecessary. Since it creates no foam you have to use this a little differently from other soaps, the complany says you can get the whole bar wet and use it as every regular bar of soap but I found this to be a problem.

You see, when the product gets wet it forms a paste and it melts which is why at first I just grabbed a little pinch and washed but since I don't like leaving it next to the sink out of fear it will get wet, I put in in a plastic container and crumbled it so it looks like a powder,this way I can put it in a little tube and carry it around in my purse or bring the container to the bathroom and grab a little powder, I feel that this way I waste less because I just grab some wih the lid so my dirty hands don't contaminate the rest of the product.

You just put some powder in your hands, put a little water and form a runny paste and use it as you would a liquid soap. After you rinse your hands will feel kind of greasy, since it's packed with moisturizing ingredients this is normal just dry them and the will smell great and feel soft, you don't even have to put lotion afterwards if you don't want to. This is especially great for the colder months when you feel not even a tub of lotion will moisturize your hands!

January Favorites

I can't believe we're already one month into 2015 but now that January is over I can finally show you some of the products I've been loving this month.

As you can see in the picture, most of them are from Lush, and the most simple reason is because Lush products are cruelty free, smells amazing and are really gentle on my sensitive skin.

First we have Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Spray Mist, after having an allergy reaction to every single deodorant even the ones Lush offers I had to look for an aluminum free one and let me tell you, it was no easy task because I wanted it to be cruelty free too so when I stumbled upon this at a health store at first I wasn't so sure because I've tried crystal deodorant before and it just didn't work at getting rid of the smell but since this is liquid intead of solid I decide to give it a shot and I'm glad I did, this product only has 2 ingredients but it's great, it really does work I even carry a little bit around with me just in case.

Next is So White Shower Gel by Lush, this is a limited edition shower gel that they released this past Christmas, it shares the scent and name with the So White bath bomb that gets released on Christmas as well, I got this at the Sale they had and wow I regret not buying it sooner, it has a really fruity smell but it's not super strong it also leaves my skin super soft and the smells stays on after I exited the shower, I'm glas I got the 500 ml bottle also but I have a feeling it won't last me until next Christmas.

Then one of my all time favorite smells from Lush, Rose Jam Shower Gel, this is also a limited edition shower gel that gets released every Christmas and I can't believe I waited until the last sale to get it, I have never smelled it I don't who why, but now that I did I'm seriously in love. It has a sweet but citrusy smell and It's just delicious.

Sikkim Girls is a Lush perfume, this one is the solid version, I just rub my finger in it and then apply it on my wrists or wherever I want, I tend to rub it on the ends of my hair because it gives me a fresh smell. This reminds me a little bit of Lust but more earthy, I got this last December and I've been using it a lot and I've barely made a dent in it so I hope it lasts me a long time.

Celebrate Body Lotion is also a limited edition item from Lush, I decided until last minute that I wanted to try it but to my fortune, they were sold out so I had to buy a gift box if I wanted it, so I did and I love the scent so much that I don't want to run out, and since this one is a 45g one I have the feeling I'm gonna be out of it really soon. The scent of this one is also a citrus one, but it's really moisturizing and helps with my dry patches.

And last we have Putty For Your Hands also by Lush, this one is a hand soap that has only natural ingredients, no chemicals here, and it's so moisturizing I barely feel the need to use a lotion afterwards, it's especially great for the winter months.

As you can see Lush is my favorite brand and if you haven't used anything by them I highly suggest you do, who knows? You'll probably end up loving them as much as I do.
