Favourite Lush Haircare products

Lush is known for their fun products, but for me, Lush gives me the best haircare products that I've ever tried.  I honestly can't return back to salon products anymore.  Haircare is one of those areas where each individual has to find what's right for them.  For me, these products are saving my hair.

I will disclose that I do work for Lush.  I won't go into the product ingredients as it's going to sound like I'm trying to sell you these products, which I'm not. I'm just going to talk about the effects they had on my hair and why these worked for me.  If you are interested in learning about the ingredients, you can find all that information on www.lush.co.uk :)  I wanted to mention that prior I go onto my reviews, because I didn't want you all to think that I'm pulling a fast one.  I honestly love these products and whether I work for Lush or not, I will continue buying these products.

First up...


ROOTS

Roots was one of those products that was recommended to me from my first day at Lush due to my apparent thin/fine hair.  I grabbed this immediately as I am always looking for something to help this flat mop attached to my head :)  I read the bottle like anyone else and did as they said.  I put the creamy mixture onto my scalp and massaged it in.  It is very thick and I think I applied too much the first time (typical me).  I let it sit there while I had a bath and even applied a face mask.  I could feel a tingly feeling.  I left it on my hair for about 15 minutes and rinsed it off.  I did this for about 2 weeks and I can't visibly see a difference, but my hair dresser did.  I'm going to continue using this, because if my hair dresser can see the difference then there obviously must be some growth.


HAIR DOCTOR
  
I can't rave enough about this product.  It has turned my dry hair into a manageable lock.  I love how silky my hair feels after using this.  It is very stimulating due to a menthol property.  My scalp feels alive and really revitalised.   I'm not too crazy about that, but my hair feels like silk afterwards!  If they ever discontinue this product, I will be crushed x



TRICHOMANIA

This dry shampoo bar looks so ugly lol. Let's be honest, there is nothing pretty about this product, but where it lacks in looks, it delivers in effectiveness.  I actually confused this with the big conditioner, so I used this by mistake.  What a glorious mistake that turned out to be!  This creamy coconut scented shampoo bar is immensely moisturising.  I needed this so badly as my hair has been rough, dry, and just lifeless.  I am in love with this shampoo bar. So anyone who has dry hair - this is a must have! 




I LOVE JUICY


Everyone knows that citrus oils break down oils naturally. So my greasy scalp really needs this product, but that's honestly not why I use I love Juicy.  It's the AMAZING scent.  I wish I had a body lotion, shower gel, soap and perfume in this scent.  It is so yummy that I just close my eyes, take a sniff, and drift away onto a tropical island somewhere.  My hair reacts well to this, but I honestly don't care if it is doing nothing for my hair, I will use this, because it is just the most delicious shampoo that I have ever used in my life.  My lush dream would come true if I could get a perfume made in this scent lol!  Fat chance, but a girl could dream, right? :)



SHINE SO BRIGHT

The neroli oil in this sells this product for me.  I love this one for the scent as well and have actually even put it on my wrist, because I love the scent...oh  and yeah it works wonders on my dry ends too hahahaha



RETREAD

 I love this yogurty deep conditioning hair conditioner so much that I even made the mistake of applying too much of it to the point that one day it weighed my fine hair down, but this is amazing for my dry ends.  I also don't mind the scent at all either.  Between Hair doctor and Retread, my hair has really taken a turn for the best.  I am starting to feel better about my appearance because of these products.  I love retread so much.  For my thin and fine hair, a little bit of this goes a long way.  I really wish they made bigger tubs so I can hoard these. 

I think my biggest allure to these products were the fact that the ingredients were so natural and the fact that I could literally see my hair transform right in front of my eyes.  I'm like any other girl who really stresses over their hair and especially for someone like me who suffers from a weird combination of oily scalp and dry hair,  these Lush products have really made a huge difference.  As I said before, even if I no longer work for Lush, I'll still buy these products.

I think the best way I can sum up my love for these products is by this photo :)

Topshop Haul & Fashion Wishlist for Jan 2013

I just wanted to quickly share with you all my small Topshop haul.  It's been too long since I went into Topshop.  Truth be told, today was the first day that I actually had to do personal things.  I finally managed to get my haircut, stop into work quickly, and pop into Topshop before I got my bus.  The weather didn't help either.  I felt like a frozen popiscle stick and I just really wanted to get home, so my shopping trip was cut short.  So what did I get???



This blazer is just the right length for me and will make any outfit dressed up.  Bargain price at £30
from £68.
 

I love these cigarette pants so much! I got them for £20 and I believe it is half off.  One of my staff members wore these, but had no idea she got them from topshop until today.  I just won't wear them around her hehe.  I just couldn't pass it up.


Since I felt like my shopping trip was cut short, I went online just to see what was hot.  I found these two items that I am lemming for so badly!  One is a bit more obtainable, while the other is a bit out of my reach lol. 

Alexander Mcqueen - £115
 


I love these boots so much! Anyone have £600 to lend me? LOL!


 Really excited to show you all my birthday haul. Hopefully the sun will come out so that I can take some awesome photos to share with you all :) Goodnight lovelies!
