LUSH's African Paradise (and more)


I've been going to LUSH recently and let's just say that some damage was done. BUT there's a little surprise (or maybe not for those of you who might already know) at the end of this post, so read all the way my friends:) (or skip to the very last bit if you want to)

The people who have gone to Wisma Atria with me will know that I. CANNOT. STOP. TALKING. ABOUT. LUSH. AND. THE. AMAZING. SCENTS. THAT. COMES. FROM. IT. Like there's no way I could ever walk past the store. Most of the time I would end up going in and coming out with a hole in my wallet.

Enough with the babbling. The product I would like to talk about from my recent haul is this body conditioner- African Paradise. It acts like a hair conditioner, so it essentially helps to moisturise your body. This would be the perfect solution for those of you who hate the sticky feeling that some body lotions leave or if you don't have the habit of using a body lotion.




After showering, all you need to do is to massage the conditioner into your skin and wash it off. A little tip from one of the lovely ladies at LUSH is to gently dab on your skin with your towel after, and not wipe yourself in a rough manner.

 I FREAKING LOVE THE SMELL OF THIS. By the time I finish listing all the ingredients, you would have fallen asleep so I'll just talk about some of them. It contains almond oil, moringa oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, ylang ylang oil and vanilla. I would say that the smell of this mainly comes from the moringa and ylang ylang oil.  I genuinely love how my skin feels after. The product is so rich that it really helps to moisturise my skin, keeping it hydrated throughout the day.

BUT I have 2 issues with the product. The first would be the price. At $69, it really did made me think more than twice before purchasing it. But since I've tried its sister, Ro's Argan, and really really liked it, I decided to give this one a go. Ro's Argan is cheaper at $58 by the way, and it smells exactly like the shower gel Rose Jam. The other issue is that smell doesn't really last on my skin. After coming out from the shower, the smell would fade away after 2-3 hours.

Okay, time for some good news. LUSH IS HAVING A 50% SALE IN THEIR STORES FOR THE C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S PRODUCTS!!!! I am not sure if African Paradise is in their Christmas range but when I went down to get the bath bombs today, it was included in the sale as well! So please, if you're reading this post now, go give it a go!

I have tried a few bath bombs myself before but never any from the Christmas range. So imagine my excitement when I found that the bath bombs were going at 50% off!! I've heard many good things about snow fairy, so I grabbed 2 today. Really can't wait to try it! I was given a sample of the So White bath ballistic to try. Apparently it is supposed to look like a snow ball and will "explode" in the bath, producing a "frothy fluffy pink bubble mix". To be honest, since I'm a Christmas fanatic and am all about the magic, this is right up my alley. But what made me even more hyped up was again yes, the smell. OH. MY. GOD. It has a light refreshing apple scent, perfect for those who like sweet scents but might get a little giddy when it gets too heavy. One such example is the cotton candy smell that comes from the Snow Fairy Shower Gel which is too intense for me. And guess what?  The So White bath ballistic comes in a shower gel form! Which (I THINK) is also half off! Looks like someone might have to make another trip again oops.

I really talk too much lol. As usual,

P.S I'll be blogging twice a week, usually Mondays and Fridays. Was thinking of adding a new element too- blogging about the personal inspirations in my life. More details will be coming up soon. Comment below if you have any LUSH products to share as well! I would love to see some of your recommendations:)
