08 Dec (Review, Photos, Giveaway) A Very Lush Cosmetics Holiday 2011: Gift Guide
Are you a handmade cosmetics junkie? A secret fan of LUSH? If I were you, I’d head to their store right away because they have some really incredible (almost edible) treats in store, and you’ll want to scoop up everything.
The best part is that the LUSH new products — all 15 of them — are incredibly affordable and they’ll leave your home smelling like a garden.
If you think Lush has nothing but cosmetics to offer, think again. Pictured above is a red patterned scarf made out of recycled bottles. More green and eco-friendly than many brands on the market, LUSH means what it says and is committed to the world being recycled, reprogrammed, repurposed.
Above: the 15 delicious goodies from their Holiday 2011 collection, all bundled up in a chic silk-like scarf.
Last year, LUSH hosted a World Knot Wrapping contest and this was one of the first limited edition designs, available JUST for the holidays. And it’s only $6.95 –hard to beat! So, stock up ladies!
No Drought Dry Shampoo: Ever wanted to just let your hair be for another day? Well, now you can –the LUSH way. Use this sparingly on your scalp and inhale the great aroma. $12.95.
“Peace” and “Friends with Benefits” Massage Bars: These solid massage bars are full of marigold and cocoa beans. They make excellent stocking stuffers and come in tins. $12.95 and $9.95.
Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner: This is my favorite from all of the new launches, and smells delicious as a rose in bloom. Filled with cocoa butter, cupuacu butter, almond oil and Argan oils, this is handmade post-shower luxury, and worth stocking up on! $29.95.

Lustre Dusting Powder: This is for those who want a bronzed yet sophisticated sparkle for the season. It’s Tinkerbell in a bottle, plus the scent of jasmine is intoxicating. $14.95.
Lustre Dusting Powder Glow
Bubbleroons: Don’t eat them by accident, but they’re too cute not to dig a spoon into! The Rose Jam bubbleroon is based on a traditional Turkish recipe for rose jam, and the Yuzu and Cocoa bubbleroon has an orange chocolate fragrance, much like candy. $5.95 each.
Moon and Sun: Steam (toner) tabs. These lavender oil filled beauties are my personal obsession. Drop them in warm (almost hot) water and steam clean your face or use the water to tone your skin after cleansing. You’ll be addicted in no time. $2.95 each.
Lust Soap: These bubble gumm-y bars are topped off each with some delicious golden shimmer. Perfect for the season, this is a FUN gift, and with a soothing jasmine scent. $7.95.

Posted at 17:03h, 13 DecemberI Love LUSH because they Believe in some of the same basic important things I do: ” making effective products from fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics”
LUSH also makes their products “fresh by hand using little or no preservative or packaging, using only vegetarian ingredients, and tell you when they were made.” And I also love that they ” believe in buying ingredients only from companies that do not commission tests on animals and in testing our products on humans.” Something indeed their Mums should be proud of 😉
