If you know me, you’ll know I am the self-proclaimed number one fan of LUSH Cosmetics. From their strong denunciation of animal product testing to their unwavering support of grassroot charities by donating 100% of the proceeds from Charity Pot, there are copious reasons that LUSH is worth spending your money on. However, with the multitude of products available, ranging from skincare to bath, it can be difficult to find the ones that are worth purchasing These are some of the holy grail LUSH products that I, an avid Lushie, absolutely cannot live without.

Mask of Magnaminty

If you suffer from oily or combination skin, this Face and Body Mask will be a lifesaver. Ingredients such as Kaolin clay and peppermint oil help to remove dirt from the skin while honey ensures that your skin remains moisturized.. Since LUSH allows you to exchange four empty LUSH pots in exchange for a free face mask, this could be the perfect opportunity for you to get your hands on Mask of Magnaminty.

The Experimenter

This would not be a LUSH article if I didn’t mention at least one Bath Bomb. The perfect first bath bomb to purchase from LUSH, The Experimenter will turn your bath into a disco and momentarily transport you to the ‘90s. With cracking popping candy inside, expect to hear the soothing sound of The Experimenter dissolving.

Rose Jam

Rose Jam used to be a Shower Gel that was only available during the Holiday season. But I like to believe that my endless commenting on their Instagram page asking to bring it back caused them to sell this product year-round. The irresistible scent will have you stopping to smell the roses (or your shower gel, in this instance).

Sleepy

If you struggle with unwinding before going to bed, try incorporating LUSH’s Sleepy Body Lotion into your nighttime routine. With lavender water and flower infusion, a whiff of the lotion will send you into momentary bliss. Multiple people have reported improved sleep after trying Sleepy Body Lotion out, but to test if it helps you, the best thing you can do is give it a shot by asking one of their friendly staff members for a sample.

Ocean Salt

With temperatures dropping, exfoliation is key to ensuring that your skin does not get dry and flaky. This Face and Body Scrub is infused with grapefruit and lime oil, so expect your skin to look brighter afterwards! Known as an exfoliating and hydrating body scrub, which is the best of both worlds when it comes to skincare, it is the perfect addition to your Sunday self-care skincare routine.

I hope at least one of the products listed intrigued you and caused you to pull out your credit card to place a LUSH haul order. Happy bathing, Lushies!
