LUSH: Strawberry Feels Forever

I went to Lush Cosmetics again this week and purchased the Strawberry Feels Forever Massage Bar and decided to take a few photos of it and create an advertisement, before I used it all up.  I love doing product photography and combining it with illustrator elements...I'm just not that good at photography yet.


I decided to go with the Strawberry Feels Forever Bar over the Each Peach bar based on the smell, but the peach bar is the next one on the list to try.  After rubbing it all over my legs and arms I smelled like a strawberry field for the next couple of hours.  The smell does fade within a few hours, which is good because I don't think I'd be able to handle smelling like a tutti frutti all day and night.  It is a very sweet smell, so if you like sweet smells, I suggest this product for you.  The Lush strawberry scent definitely makes the Bath and Body Works Fresh Picked Strawberries Soap smell less yummy.  

Even though the bar looks like a bar of soap, it actually slowly melts into a very nice oil upon getting warm and rubbed against your skin.  The oil does leave a semi-thick residue on your skin, but I was pleasantly surprised most all of it absorbed into my skin within fifteen to twenty minutes.  If you have to put clothes on shortly after application, I do suggest patting your skin down lightly with a towel, so excess oil won't get on your clothes.  I did not find that this product made my skin particularly over moisturized, nor did it dry my skin out. 

All in all, I really liked the Strawberry Feels Forever massage bar and I can't wait to try the Each Peach bar, as I've heard it feels more like a lotion.  For the price (average $9.95/each), these massage bars are a great treat once in a while, but for daily application, I certainly can't afford it.

Lush Cosmetics

On the December giveaway I asked what type of tutorials and products you would like to see in the videos. I got lots of requests for Lush Cosmetics.  We have a Lush store here in Atlanta and I had been in there once...but it was busy and I just did a walk through and said "uhhh ok." But after receiving so many requests in December I decided I needed to do a little more investigation.

So tonight my Dad and I were at the mall and I decided to give it another whirl.  Glad I did...their products are pretty damn awesome. And the sales girl, Kat, was soooo nice and demonstrated several products on me.  First she applied the Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter to my hands, which was very smooth & creamy and definitely had a strong lemon smell, followed by the Ocean Salt Cleanser and then finished by washing with the Buffy Body Butter exfoliant.  I must say, my hands smelled delicious and felt so smooth and soft.  Kat was also nice enough to demonstrate the Bubble Bars and Bath Bombs.  I have never seen a product that would create a bubble bath without Mr. Bubbles...until today.  The last thing I tested out were the massage bars, which look like a bar of soap, but are actually a bar of oil that turns into oil when rubbed against the skin.  They have other massage bars that are tinted for a bronzy look and some with glitter, so you can be sparkly.  The store was out of stock of the lip scrubs...but I definitely want to check those out as well, as I really dislike doing makeup on crusty lip girls.  Instead of my lip oil, I'll pull out the Lush Lip Scrub. Ta-da!!

So as of today, I am a Lush Cosmetics fan. I will definitely have to include some Lush products in future giveaways.  I love the fact that their products are all made from fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, have little or no preservatives.  Lush also uses only vegetarian ingredients and of course no animal testing.  I recommend checking out their products if you haven't already.  I think I'm a little behind the bandwagon on this brand...but I am on it now.
