Lush review

This is my review on three items I purchased at Lush in Santa Monica. There is one I will not repurchase. Keep in mind this is only my opinion, it might work great for you but it did not condition my hair, which was the Veganese conditioner.


The Veganese conditioner did smell different in the store and I regret not buying the american cream. I had not read reviews on this product and had no idea that it is a very light conditioner. I have learned my lesson, and will not purchase a product that I know nothing about when you can just ask for a sample.


I love this mask, it smells really good and it leaves my skin really soft. Even my husband tried it and liked it. The only thing was that my mask was missing a huge chunk, probably given as a sample. I noticed that when we got home and unfortunately I live hours away from the store. It doesn't really matter but from now on I will always ask to see the pot before buying just because I can't just go and buy another in 2 weeks. My husband is talking me to Disneyland in a few week and I will repurchase this mask again because it is limited edition.


The breath of fresh air toner is amazing, I love it!! This product contains real sea water, natural spring water, aloe vera gel, patchouli oil, rosemary oil, and seaweed absolute. Seaweed actually has more nutrients than any land based plant. I recommend everyone to try this, or the tea tree water.

Just Married



I married my high school sweet heart. Paul and I have been living together for 2 years now and we have a beautiful daughter Kelena. We signed the papers Oct. 2nd and we're having our big wedding in 2011.

Tinkerbell Cake




My daughter kelena turned 2 years old and my brother Carlos made her the most gorgeous cake I've ever seen. It tasted amazing, the inside was made of chocolate and raspberry.

Disney trip and Lush




Last month Paul and I went to Disneyland and he was sweet enough to take me to Lush. I bought the therapy massage bar which is very moisturizing but can be quite oily so I would recommend to wait a few minutes before getting dressed. The wiccy magic muscles smells too herbal and strong so Paul doesn't like using it ..ever! Honey bee is by far my favorite bath bomb from Lush because it smells like Honey I Washed The Kids soap. It contains Moroccan Rhassoul mud which is used for skin and scalp treatment and has aloe vera and honey to soothe sensitive skin. Ma bar bubble bar smells amazing and does make tons of bubbles. I got 3 baths from
this bubble bar. Last but not least was my second purchase of Honey I Washed The Kids soap which is my all time favorite smell and item from Lush. I love that this soap leaves you really clean without that drying feeling, and I can still smell it on my skin hours later. I'm going to Santa Monica in a few days so expect another review in 2 weeks.

bestbathstore samples

Best bath store has a really good program where you can get up to 5 samples for free and all you pay is the shipping which is $6.95 I chose the acne facial bar and the acne treatment gel for my boyfriend because he still gets some acne. The Dead Sea facial scrub, foot scrub and dead sea mud mask was for myself. I really liked the facial scrub, it left my skin soft and radiant. Now the dead sea mud mask draws out environmental toxins and tightens pores while infusing vitamins and minerals and leaves your skin with a radiant glow ...i loved it but the smell really bugs me. I have already ordered the full size from all the samples i tried. I really recommend this site, just try the samples and then decide if you want to purchase the full size or not. I am a huge lush junkie and anything that is good for my skin i am willing to try. If you buy anything just let me know because i haven't decided what else to purchase from that store. <3 kareli
