So as you may or may not have heard Lush opened their biggest shop in the world fairly recently and a few weeks ago I had the chance to go visit and pick up some of the exclusive goodies they released for the opening. I am not an expert on Lush products and these are merely my own responses to the products described, if relevant I will describe my hair/skin type alongside the product.
This shampoo is a mixture of sea salt, honey, and egg among other things and feels a lot like Big when applied, however the effect is much, much nicer. My hair is naturally thin and straight which can often lead to flat, dry, and boring, but when I was using Jersey Bounce my hair was always and I mean always soft to the touch and full of volume. I cannot stress how good this product was for my hair and the only issue ended up being that I didn’t buy a big enough tub and I have now officially run out. However, like I said, this product is very similar to Big and so that is another possibility to use, but Big does not make my hair as soft and bouncy as Jersey Bounce did – but it’s a close second. This is a must buy for me and I would recommend it to everyone.
Damaged is a one-use hot oil treatment and costs £6.50 per treatment and so it is not for the thrifty-natured among us. The vanilla in it makes this a dream of a treatment for me, since vanilla is my favourite scent, however after application and after following all the instructions I found that this treatment made no difference to my hair whatsoever. I also found the process of changing the solid chunk into hot oil very tedious, taking far longer than the recommended five minutes, but also it remained rather lumpy. Overall I would not recommend this treatment and believe that Lush has many cheaper and more effective hair treatment products available such as Roots and Shine So Bright.

And finally, lets end with something sparkly! Now what attracted me to the bath oil Razzle Dazzle was its gorgeous colour. However, after buying and placing it in my Lush paper bag I began to notice that it begun to spread and stain the bag and even some of the other products within the bag, almost like it was already melting before I’d even got home. This didn’t put me off though, so I went home and placed it in a warm bath and laid there for a while, enjoying the vibrant colour it changed the water. The raspberry and lime smell was also extremely delightful. Then, when I got out of the bath, I noticed the product had stained my arms pink! It took a lot of scrubbing to get the colour off – not cool Lush. Though it was a meagre £2.00 I would not be recommending this to anyone, unless they want to look like a pink Smurf.
