Pro-Tip
I know most people associate LUSH Cosmetics with white girls and bath bombs but products from this beautiful company have faded my scars and stretch marks, completely gotten rid of my acne, fixed my dry skin problems, thickened my eyelashes, laid my edges, made my hair grow like crazy… I can go on and on. I’ve actually never tried the bath bombs, but their skincare and haircare products work magic.
Fading Scars / Stretch Marks Organic Therapy Massage Bar
Extra Dry Skin King of Skin In-Shower Body Conditioner, Skin Drink Facial Moisturizer, Sultana of Soap Bar, Tender is the Night Massage Bar, Each’s a Peach Massage Bar
Acne Fresh Farmacy Solid Cleanser, Eau Roma Toning Water, Full of Grace Serum Bar
Thickening Lashes Eyes Right Mascara / Lash Milk
Edges R&B Hair Moisturizer (if you put this on your edges before wrapping your hair, they’ll be relaxer-straight when you wake up, lasts about 12 hours), Dirty Styling Cream (cream-based edge control with a matte finish, no more shiny or crunchy edges)
Hair Growth NEW! Shampoo Bar, Retread Hair Conditioner
I was asked to list the rest of the products I currently have in my possession, so here y’all go!
FACE / HAIR STUFF
Magical Moringa Facial Moisturizer Oh my lordy. Let me tell y'all about this stuff. It’s marketed as a moisturizer but I use it as a primer because when you put this on your face, it’s completely matte. Like completely. All day. And it will lock your makeup in place like no other. You can sweat in it, swim in it, whatever. Shit won’t budge. Ever.
Jason & the Argan Oil Shampoo Bar Amazing for volumizing. It made the three bundles in my head look more like five when I used this thing the first time, I kid you not. Also gives your hair a really natural shine. I only use it when I really need a volume boost, otherwise it’s just too much.
No Drought Dry Shampoo If you have a weave, you need this stuff. Period. A lot of times, the natural oils in our scalps (referring to my fellow black women here) are too heavy for Brazilian, Peruvian, etc hair, and so it’s easy for weave to get weighed down between washes. Shake this stuff in your hair, brush it out - bam, flow city.
Honey Trap Lip Balm My favorite lip balm, ever. Really improves the texture of your lips and seals in moisture. However, this is not for fixing chapped lips - use Ultrabalm for that first, and then this to prevent them from chapping again. Also, pro-tip, if you apply it before liquid lipstick, your lipstick won’t crease or dry out all day.
MASSAGE BARS
Strawberry Feels Forever Smells like fresh strawberries! Has a much thinner consistency than the other massage bars, so it can be used every day, like a solid lotion.
Soft Coeur Smells like chocolate and honey, and is ridiculously moisturizing. More heavy-duty than the other bars, so I like to only use this one on spots like my knees, heels, and elbows.
From Dusk til Dawn The shape of this one is amazing. It’s shaped like a cone, so it gives a deep massage when you’re using it. Definitely recommend if you have any sort of muscle pain.
SCRUBS
The Rough with the Smooth This stuff smells soooo good. Like cotton candy. I use it before I shave because it really does an amazing job at removing any dead skin and it doesn’t leave a residue, so it won’t clog your razor. However, it’s a sugar scrub, so it melts super quickly.
Ocean Salt This is a heavy-duty scrub. Really amazing if you have dry, flaky skin, and the healing properties of the salt are really great if you have acne. It’ll dry it up and heal it super quick.
Cup o’ Coffee Face & Body Mask I’m on my fourth jar of this already. The coffee beans are ground up just enough to give a deep, yet gentle scrub and the caffeine in the bar really does wake up your skin and make it look brighter. Great for the morning.
Buffy It smells like a vacation, that’s really the only way to describe it. It’s an exfoliant bar and body butter mixed together, so you rub it all over while you’re still in the shower, and then rinse the sand off. After, rub the oils in and pat dry. No need for lotion after because it seals in the moisture from your shower.
SHOWER GELS / JELLIES
Rose Jam Shower Gel Smells like roses and has a really bubbly lather. More cleansing than moisturizing. I like to use it before a more moisturizing soap because it’s great for removing dirt and oil from the skin.
The Olive Branch Shower Gel A long-time favorite of mine. Great for dry skin, as it has a really creamy lather versus a bubbly one. Also, the smell is very calming and lingers for a long time.
Needles & Pines Shower Jelly It’s a solid shower gel (consistency of jello), and it smells like Christmas trees! I like to store it in the fridge and use it when it’s hot outside, super cleansing and refreshing.
SOAPS:
Roses All the Way Personal favorite! Smells like roses & vanilla ice cream. Super moisturizing and so, so creamy. Definitely buy if you suffer from dry skin.
Yog Nog Very moisturizing and the scent lingers for a really long time. Smells like snickerdoodles and eggnog.
Bohemian Not at all creamy, as it’s an exfoliating soap. It’s great to use on dark spots like knees and armpits because the exfoliants soften the skin and the lemon juice evens out your skintone. Smells like lemons.
Karma Another favorite. It has a super thin consistency but is still very moisturizing, so it’s a good shaving soap because it won’t gunk up your razor. Smells like incense and patchouli.
Figs & Leaves Smells like dirt and grass, in a good way. Super cleansing. As in your skin will literally squeak after using it, so I recommend using an in-shower moisturizer like King of Skin after using it.
OTHER:
Atomic Toothy Tabs Solid toothpaste that you crush up in your mouth. It sounds weird but these things are phenomenal. They really leave your teeth squeaky clean, and are the sole reason my teeth are so white - I don’t use any whitening products. This particular kind smells like cloves and cinnamon.
Ultrabalm All Purpose Balm This stuff is amazing. It’s an all-over balm for rough spots. I use it in the winter time on my hands and lips, because they get dry. I also use it year round on my face where I get dry spots, as it doesn’t clog pores.
Silky Underwear Dusting Powder Another holy grail. If you could turn cocoa butter into a powder, this would be it. It’s not drying like baby powder, it’s more silky (it’s also talc-free). I use it between my legs to prevent chafing and under my boobs when it’s hot outside to prevent sweating.
This is actually so helpful because a lot of times I go into lush and I just end up getting pink things and things that smell good because I don’t know what other products are worth purchasing!
TALK TO PEOPLE. okay so I only worked there as a seasonal, but these overly polite, overly talkative salespeople have to do 3 demos an hour! SO if they ask if you want to try something, let them. They know what they’re doing and they will tell you everything you want to know about the product and what it will do for you.
The worst was when I had customers saying that they were just looking because they didnt know a thing about what they were looking at. A lot of the products look identical on the shelves, but they are all specifically tailored for different needs.
Fun facts:
86% of all products are vegan, the rest are vegetarian
everything is ethically sourced, including the charcoal which comes from recycled forest fires
Lush will cut ties with their suppliers if they dont treat their employees nicely enough
Lush saves 10% of their spending budget for emergencies, like when a well broke down in one of their suppliers companies over in Kenya and Lush found out they were lowering women into the well, that money didnt just go to repairing the well, but for getting them a second well as well.
Lush even makes perfume but the scents are about stories instead of smells. There’s a little booklet for each one. My favorites are Dear John (about the owner, Mark, not knowing who his dad was) and Dad’s Lemon Tree (which he made after meeting his dad)
Lush also makes makeup, although they are working on getting more pigments
Lush is 21 years old and in 57 countries!
Charity Pot is a lotion that is low scent as not to mix with your other scents, is a lot of cocoa butter, and 100% goes to grassroots charities, they dont even pay people to make it, that’s how good it is
If you bring in 5 black pots (wash them please, they are dishwasher safe) you can get a free fresh face mask
Lush is the inventor of the bathbomb and most of them have essential oils in them and cocoa butter, so they’re not just fun, but they’re actually really good for your skin
There is a Lush Facebook page but more importantly is that there are local Lush facebooks. You can ask them if something is in stock and they’ll get back to you as quickly as possible (the Alderwood location takes only a few hours)
Anything that looks like a big brick of product is sold by weight. Just ask and they will cut you off a piece to fit your budget
FREE SAMPLES. Feel free to ask. They do NOT want to sell you something that is not right for you
Everything is handmade with commercial kitchen like equipment. This is why things don’t always look the same, because the recipe changes and different people are making it. Leave room for error and basically Guenivere likes adding more pigment than Brendan does but Brendan makes seasonal stuff that’s fantastic. It’s not that it’s gone off or is poorly made. There’s a little sticker that shows you who made it and it also has the expiration date on it
It the ingredient list is both green and black, the green is for natural ingredients and black is for synthetic.
If you go in and they dont have something because it was a seasonal or it’s no longer being made, do not be sad. The same scent may be in another product but more importantly, you can still get it. THE LUSH KITCHEN puts out products that are no longer being made every night at midnight (UK though so time stuff). There’s exclusive merch on there too, including bags and aprons and shirts. Everything goes really really fast though so you have to be ON it.
reblogged to the wrong blog because it took 4 attempts to reblog at all!
this is…nice
My daughter worked at LUSH before college and just seriously…they are an amazing company with highly educated salespeople who want to help you find things that will make you feel, look and smell your best.
The Kitchen doesn’t exist anymore, but I still recommend buying from the U.K site If you’re in North America! It’s considerably cheaper than US (haven’t looked at conversions with Canadian currency) even including shipping, as long as you stay under a certain weight limit.
Every time I run out of my lush skin care and can’t afford more I decide to give another brand a shot. And every time within a month my acne has flared up again to the point where strangers feel as if they are invited to make comments on my skin and offer advice like toothpaste (makes it worse, thanks). And every time I finally save up enough and my lush order comes in my skin starts to calm down again within two days.
Full of Grace has started healing decades of scarring on my cheeks and Celestial moisturizer reduces all the red swelling over night for me.
Ask the Lush people their advice if you’re comfortable, their first recommendations for me are still my favorite products.
And I don’t use bath bombs cause baths just seem like people soup.
5 Strategies That Have Effectively Helped With Skin Picking
Since I have been skin picking since I was 14 (I’m 22 now) I have tried many different methods to stop. People used to think that 14-year-old-me had a skin disease. I have went from looking like a mess, to looking like I have clear skin (which is not the case, but people can barely tell anymore!) Even though I still pick, I have cut down a lot. Below are my holy grail strategies that have helped me get to where I am today, and hopefully for anyone who is struggling, this can help you too.
1. Giving myself 10 reasons to stop picking & reading them every morning. I feel when it comes to any goal, you have days that you are motivated and ready to tackle it head on, and then more so, you have days that you don’t want to bother trying. Reading a list of motivations every morning has helped me see the future I could have without skin picking. This is the reminder that pushed me a bit more to try harder. You can make more then 10, but I liked to keep a number that wouldn’t be such a hassle to read every morning. If you have trouble thinking of what to put, some of my motivations where: being able to not wear makeup, putting my hair up instead of hiding behind it, feeling like people weren’t looking at my skin, feeling more confident.
2. Replacing the habit with a healthier habit. This is important. The best way to get rid of a habit, is to replace it with a healthier habit. In my case, I used to wear a silicon bracelet (with squishy rubber beads), that I would play with anytime I had the urge to pick. At first, it was hard to remember to squeeze the bracelet instead of my skin, but overtime I started grabbing the bracelet and playing with it until the urge went away. I bought about 10 of these bracelets from the dollar store, since they would often break. And even if they didn’t look the best, they helped me.
3. Keeping a picking chart. It’s important to be aware of how much you pick and when you pick. The point of this chart is to be aware of your picking and to figure out your “trigger times”. I would divide the chart into 3 categories; date, number of times I picked today, what times I picked today. I would record in this chart at the end of the day before I went to sleep. I would also record on my cellphone through out the day, just sending little messages to myself like “pick #1 at 7:00pm” so I wouldn’t forget to put it in the chart. This chart helped me realize my trigger times (first thing in the morning, when I come home from work/school, right before I go to sleep). Knowing my trigger times helped me put my coping skills in action before the trigger. Also, this chart motivated me to pick less. The shitty feeling of writing a big number under “number of times picked”, helped me not want to pick.
4. Honey. Now this is probably the weirdest one of the list, but it’s the most helpful to me. When you’re at home and you’re not planning to see anyone, put honey on the spots that you’re tempted to pick at. Such as pimples, scabs, anywhere that is tempting, put honey on it. This works best if you pick on your face, since putting honey on any other part of your body could spread on couches, shirts etc. But what honey does is it forces you not to touch that area since your hands will get sticky. Sometimes when I’m at home I’ll just start feeling my face looking for bumps, but honey forces me to stop. I don’t even bother feeling my skin since I know I’ll get sticky, then I’ll have to run to the sink to wash it off. Honey also is an antibacterial, which is good for your skin and acne. This is a method that’s helped me so much, and I know it sounds weird, but if your skeptical, try it for a week and see if it makes a difference for you.
5. Cutting down instead of stopping cold turkey. This tip a lot of people could disagree on. But for me, this took a lot of stress and guilt out of myself. Everyday, when I would say, “I’m going to stop picking!” and then pick my first time of the day, I would feel horrible the rest of the day. Striving for perfection instead of progress, expecting a lot more out of myself than I could handle at the time, and then feeling bad and guilty about it. Stopping a bit at a time was what made progress. Using the picking chart I talked about above, I figured out how much I picked on average. I made it a goal to pick less than the average amount. So if the average was 20, the goal was to pick 15 times or less for a couple of weeks. And when I got used to that, then the goal was to pick 10 times, etc.
Awesome list. Thanks for posting.

ignoring someone is not cute constantly sending read receipts to fuck with someone mentally isn’t sexy being emotionally unavailable is not attractive playing games when it comes to communication is not healthy
if a man you’re trying to date or even just befriend doesn’t talk to you consistently he’s just not interested in you. Don’t fall into the trap of wanting him more because he ignores your texts and calls. don’t fall into the game of trying to get him to respond so you can ignore him back. stop, block him, delete his number and all records of it so you can get yourself out. It’s not healthy. An emotionally healthy and available man will text you back, he’ll call you, face time you, and when you contact him you won’t feel uncomfortable or anxious about whether or not you’ll hear back from him.
love yourselves, fiercely protect your emotions, nurture your mental
