Lush Easter Party and Haul

Last Wednesday I went to the Lush Easter Party at Plaza Arcade in Perth. I was pretty excited to attend this party as I love Lush and getting to see all the Easter products before the rest of Western Australia. As this was my first Lush party so I didn't know what to expect but it was a fantastic night.

Right on 6.30 the door opens and Lush Bunnies (who were helpful and friendly the whole night) came hopping out to greet us and invite us into the store which had been decorated nicely. Once inside we shown demonstrations on the new Easter products, arm massages , played some games which included an Easter egg hunt, find a product that smells like..., and whoever could draw the best Easter egg on either your face or a friends face (which of course I was pretty bad at drawing an egg on my friends face) and got to touch and smell the Easter Products before everyone else.  It was a great night shared with other ladies obsessed with Lush as much as we are.

I promised myself I would only buy carrot soap and the funny bunny knot wrap. Well. That didn't happen. Since I don't have a bath I normally stay from bath bombs/ballistics etc but then I realised I was missing out, so I have decided I will find other ways to use them such as laundry powder, shower scrubs and in foot baths. Below is what I purchased which you can find at the Lush Website.

From the Limited Edition Easter Line:

Lush Easter 2014 -Bright Side, Bunch of Carrots, Carrot Soap and Fluffy Egg

Carrot Soap - a very moisturising soap that contains carrot oil. Has a cute little bunny in the centre which smells like lemon and bergamot.
Bunch of Carrots - same scent as the carrot soap with the lemon and bergamot.
Fluffy Egg Bath Ballistic - A cute pink egg with a white flower that smells like snow fairy. Its absolutely gorgeous.
Brightside Bubble Bar   - A very bright orange - the picture doesn't do it justice that smells very citrusy.

Prizes I won: 

BB Seaweed Fresh Mask and Bohemian Soap

BB Seaweed Fresh Mask - This prize I won in the Easter Egg hunt which they hid Easter eggs around the store. Never tried this one before, it has an interesting scent and according to the assistant it is good for oily and sensitive skin. Will be trying it soon as it only has a shelf life of 10 days as it is made with all fresh ingredients. This one contains honey, seaweed and aloe vera. 

Bohemian Soap -  I won this as as a runner up when we had to find items that smelled like a particular scent and then there was a competition who could make the most bubbles - As I don't have a bath/ don't use bubble bars often I came last but I still got a good runner up prize of 100g of this lemony scented soap. I already have quite a bit of this to use up so I will probably give this to my mother. 

Normal Range

Karma Bubble Bar, Trichomania and The Comforter.

Trichomania Shampoo  - Coconut scented shampoo. I have tried this once and it lathered up nicely giving my hair a squeaky clean feeling
Karma Bubble Bar -  Karma has to be one of my favourite scents it smells like orange with a hint a spice and warmth - I have been using this as a scrub in the shower and is a nice gentle scrub.
trichomania
The Comforter  - A really sweet smelling bubble bar that everyone raves about. I cannot wait to try this
Bubble Gum Lip Scrub (Not pictured)  -  Smells like snow fairy.. I'm a big fan of Lush's lip scrubs but I had never tried this one. This one has to be the best smells out of all them.

Samples! 

Grass Shower Gel, Honey I washed the kids shower gel, Hsuan Wen Hua Hair Moisturiser and Ultrablast toothy tabs

I have tried all these apart from the Hsuan Wen Hau Hair Moisturiser. I love receiving samples and I will be using these up quickly. At first I thought the Ultrablast actually said Vitrablast.... and I was like Oooo I I have never heard of this before. Turns out... I was wrong but i still love Ultrablast toothy tabs.

Overall it was a good night but I spent way too much money.... Back to my No Buy now.

Lust Have it March 2014

On Tuesday I received my Lust Have It for March - two days into April.... being from Western Australia I normally get my box after everyone on the East Coast, but this month there seemed to be an issue with Australia Post and I received my box before some people! 

Anyway onto what I received in the box - Well actually this month didn't come in a box.. it just came in a little envelope with the contents wrapped in bubble wrap and sticky tape while Lust Have It sort out their new packaging. I actually preferred how they shipped it this month as with 2 people living in a 1 bedroom apartment  we don't have a lot of room for unnecessary things, so I hate to say this but half those boxes end up in the bin or my cat tries to sit in them causing them to break (even if she doesn't fit she sits), so for me I feel less guilty as the bubble wrap isn't a collectable box. So anyway back to what I received in the March box.

1. Klara Kissproof Lips in 04 1.2ml  -  A pretty, pigmented bright pink lip gloss - this might be a bit to bright for me with my fair skin however I will use it on special occasions. I have applied it once and a little bit goes a long way however it felt kinda drying after a while. We will see if it does it again next time.   

2. Human Treated lip balm - Never heard of this brand before but I'm excited to try this as it is vegan and not tested on animals... Only humans.

3. Bloom concealer kit - Im not sold on the packaging, which you slide down the backing. The backing has tips on how to use the concealer.  Now I don't wear make up that often so the tips on the back is very helpful. The colours are Yellow, Green, Illuminiser. Light Shade and Dark shade. I have tested this on my skin and seems to be nice and creamy unlike some other brands, so i can wait to experiment with this. 

4. Aveda  Intensive hydrating masque - not too sure why I received two of these, I don't know if this was just a human error or if i was one of the lucky ones that won the lucky dip but either way I can't complain. I hear good things about the Aveda so again I cannot wait to try this. 

5.  Orly - I really like the Orly brand. My nail polish is in the colour Velvet Rope. Its a pretty glitter purple and is pretty opaque after 2 uses The downside to this product is that I already have too many nail polish so I don't really need to add anymore.

6. Recoverlyte (Available at The Chemist Warehouse) 'Advanced recovery after a late night out' - Just mix one sachet with 250ml for an instant boost. Eh not too fussed about this either way but I will try it.. eventually. 

My final thoughts on the box? I always look forward to receiving my monthly boxes as it is a welcome present for myself  as I am on a tight budget. This box had all things I have never tried or heard of before but have never tried. So overall I'm actually pretty happy with this box!
