LUSH HAUL

SO, im very sorry guys after i made my vow of blogging everyday up until january the 1st my laptop decided to have a techno breakdown! 

but im back (shadys back, back again) right down to buisness...

i recently took a little trip to LUSH to put there skincare to the test when its the (ladys time of the month) or just when my skin decides to hate me and give me bloody spots i need a little pick me up routine to keep it at bay and hopefully get the glowing skin i want, i do suffer from oily skin which is a pain in the arse. 

sometimes my skin is combination but most of the time its oily which is very frustrating as foundation rarely stays on for long if any of you have any recommendations for a long lasting foundation please do let me know :) ...

first up its HERBALISM - described as something to help with spots, grease and calm troubled skin - sounds perfecto'

Now this little beauty has done pure WONDERS to my skin i use it with my facial cleansing tool/brush which is pretty much the cheap version on the clarisonic MIA but as im a cheap skate and refuse to fork out 150 pounds for something that might not work i got the ebay version i will post the link here > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-in-1-Electric-Vibrating-Face-Skin-Care-Cleaner-Brush-Massager-wrinkle-removal-/150936249637?pt=UK_Health_Massage_RL&hash=item2324806525 ... its bloody brilliant it is from china so depending where you are in the worl shipping is about 2-3 weeks so bare that in mind, also as this cleanser is green it does stain it a little but it still works wonders with normal face wash and doesnt stain your skin green.
Herbalism smells very natural almost woodland kind of smell its a dark forest green colour as you can see, its not greasy or slimey it also doesnt leave a film over your skin once used, it makes you skin feel very clean, refreshed and very smooth and cuts down on alot of grease my skin was dry afterwards not dry enough to need moisturising straight away but just a non-greasy feeling dryness. it retails for 6.25 for 100g which is quite substantial for me as i only use it 2-3 times a week.

Tea Tree Toner Tabs -  whilst browsing around as you do i saw these little gems they were only a pound each i bought 4 so as you can see down below i have 2 left, they work just as well as the gel im going to mention later on, theres all sorts of things little old wives tales that such things as withc hazel and tea tree are good for acne and more spot prone skin so for 1 pounds i thought why not this could become my little weekly pick me ups for my poorly skin! booo :( .. they smell beautiful like tea tree oil (obviously). theyre a light blue colour about as big as a 2 pound coin (UK) ... they simply work with water, you wet them down a little give them a little rub and then rub them into your skin they foam a tiny bit and give your skin a big cleanse which leaves it feeling fresh and tingly they have helped to reduce dark marks (scarring from spots) and also help reduce the red nasty little buggers that creep up on you, i mostly get spots when im stressed o when ive been a little lazy with my skin care and the oil has a major overload and blocks all the pours which creates a build up of bacteria which reaches the surface and causes SPOTS.

The next little gem is GREASE LIGHTNING spot treatment. - Described ... striking the spot with lightning precision, dab on this super tea tree and witch hazel gel to zap zits before they show themselves.

i have used this quite abit it smells bloody lovely i like the 'medical' smell as my mother would say its very fresh and smells like it would do some good to those pesky' spots. it apply's as a very cold clear gel but drys into the skin in seconds, simply dab it onto the problem area maybe before bed or whilst your having a relaxing bath which is what i tend to do before a big day or even before a night out. it reduces the spots appearance some have even completely gone by the morning, it also helps reduce dark spots and redness caused by acne/spots. 

and for the last cheeky little Gem .. we have OCEAN SALT EXFOLIATOR ... described as - Lashings of fine sea salt to scrub and clean, organic limes to brighten and avacado butter to soften your skin .... this little beauty smells beautiful as all products ive mentioned so far its got that fresh sent that is just absolutely beautiful its very refreshing some look different to others i have seen some that are a royal blue colour whereas mine is a aqua green with a little bit of sky blue swirling through it, its very thick and you only need a little, simply dab it under tap and apply to the skin it lathers up nicely and feels like its really doing your skin justice it feels like its taking all those horrible greasy layers off of my skin and leaving a fresh new one after using this i do spritz my face with boots botanics rose water spritz just to make the refreshed feeling last a little whilst i sleep sometimes if i really feel like giving my skin some serious TLC i use a tiny dab of sudocrem dear god that stuff is a miracle worker ....

so that my gorgeous bloggers is my little lush haul sorry if its abit rambly i tend to do that when i get over excited (hahaha) id love to know your favourite skin care products please feel free to leave a comment down below :)
