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 21:53h, 13 DecemberLUSH products are phenomenal…great scents, fun to use, and good for the planet…doesn’t get much better than that! In this day and age, lots of people are making a concerted effort to save the planet, and you cannot help but respect a company that goes out of its way to do the same thing. As an avid recycler and lover of environmental friendliness, I am totally committed to supporting a company who wants to preserve this beautiful planet of ours for as long as possible…great job, LUSH!!!
