A week ago I went to Uppsala rather spontaniously to kill some time and check some stores out.
What I've noticed was that the staff in uppsala (no matter which store) they're genuinly more happy and service minded than the staff in stockholm. God knows why. So I'm definitly going to go back to Uppsala to shop when I'm in the mood for spending money.
I like to watch cutiepiemarzia and zoella's vlogs and they both seem to love Lush's products so me and Erica went in to smell some of their products. And neitherless to say it wasn't quite for me. Their stuff smell really strong, you could smell the store even from the street. (that's how I found them)
I'm quite sensitive when it comes to strong smells and strong light since I get headaches easily.
But I found a few things I wanted to try out.
The big yellow lump on the right
is actually a soap that smells like sweet lemons. I really liked the smell so I bought a quite large piece so I won't run out that easily.
The black soap/candy looking thing in the square metal box
is actually a hard lotion block. It's mells a bit like raspberrys but it's blackcurrant lotion. It really do smell like candy and I swear I would eat it if I could.
The one downer about it is that your hands almost get black while it's wet/moist on your skin, once the skin starts to absorbe the products gets translucent... (duh)
The yellow soap looking thing in the metal box
is also a lotion/ massage oil that smells like lemons (once again me and my lemons). I really love it and I have it in my bag at all times in case I wish to smell more lemony or if my hands get dry. I work a lot with my hands with all kind of dangerous products so I need to spoil my hands with lotions and really take care of them.
Sparkle box
is actually some kind of toothpaste and bleacher in a pill form. You're suppose to chew it and then brush your teeth with the goo in your mouth. It's absolutely vile. It really tastes a lot like pepper.
I'm going to use it all and show you the results. If it's crap I wouldn't reccomend it since the taste is the most gruesome ever.
Charity pot
It's another hand and body lotion.
It's for sensitive skin, made to preserve the moist and protect the skin from dragons (I'm only joking, it said on the lid that it's going to protect the skin, from what I don't know, they failed to mention so I'm asuming it's dragons)
On the lid it says that all profits will go to charity. (The lid is promising a lot of things)
Well if it's true, how can you not buy the extra large jar?
I'm not sure how to describe the smell of this, it's kinda waxy but it's super smooth and light on the skin and my hands get super soft almost right away.
It's very liquidy so the skin absorbs it almost right away.
Small black round container
It's a sampler from their "Lemon Flutter" I got it at the store after buying that big soap. I told the girl behind the counter I love lemons and so she gave me a sample of their other very fat Lemon Flutter creme for extra dry skin. So I'm using it around my nails where I tend to get really dry skin.
It's really thick and works like magic for my poor broken nailbeds. I'm going to buy the big jar when I go back.
Small silver round container
It's a sampler from the Charity pot I bought for my mother so she could try it out. If she likes it I'll buy her the big one!
I had to try these products at the same time as I wrote about them to have my experience of them fresh in my mind. Now my poor desk and keyboard have to suffer, there's lotion fingerprints all over the place. The things I do for you guys!
They day after results and verdict:
I was going to post this yesterday but I tried them all out and wanted to wait until the day after to see if there was any 24h results.
And my verdict: inconclusive results.
The only thing that really helped was the Lemon Flutter.
I get smother more silky skin from cold rainwater than any other expensive as fuck product. Would I recomend these products?
The Lemon Flutter - yes, the others? no! Well maybe if you just want something that smells good.
I hope you like this post, it's going to be my new category: I try it out so you don't have to! Or something else catchy, I'll figure out a new name for it... eventually!
I'll see you guys soon I hope! I'm going to make a few changes so don't be discouraged if you see something off.
