Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask

          I have been wanting to try the face masks at Lush ever since my sister tried one and felt that it was effective. A few weeks ago, my sister and I decided to take a trip to Lush to get the face mask.  After looking at the options, we picked up the BB seaweed fresh face mask.

           The mask is packaged in a small pot and has a little sticker that states when it was made, who made it and when does it expire.  Also, the mask is perishable so it needs be placed in the fridge. It has a fridge life of about two weeks.  This mask is supposed to help cleanse and soften your face.  If you bring back five clean lush pots, you can get the sixth one free (what a nice perk).  

            When I opened the pot, the mask smelled very floral with a hint of seaweed.  Seaweed does smell quite unique.  You can actually see bits of seaweed and the exfoliating particles (not sure what those are).  I first cleansed my face and then applied the mask on my face for 9 minutes.  After a minute or two, the mask tightened.  When time was up, I removed the mask with water.  My face did feel softer after one try, but time will show if it actually works or not.  One disadvantage about this mask is the cost.  However, I think this mask is worth the price considering it was handmade by someone and the ingredients do not contain many of the chemicals found in everyday products.  If only lush was closer....

Ps. Excuse me for my dark circles. I've been sleeping a little too late.

I took a break from blogging and now I'm really glad to be back again. Thanks for reading my blog.  I promise I'll be here more often :) 

Lush Formulae Known As

                My acure body lotion has a little bit left and I've been looking to get a new body lotion.  Last week, my sister told me about lush, which is a store that I have never heard of.  Lush is a store that sells handmade cosmetics so we both went to lush and checked it out.  The store that I went to was pretty tight and it smells quite strong.  You can test their products just like a sephora or bath and body works store.  Most of their products are not packaged or packaged in a black container.  They sell bath bombs, lotions, soaps, facial cleansers, perfume and masks.  As a chocolate lover, the body lotion made with organic cocoa caught my eyes.  So, I decided to get the travel size Formulae Known As.  I think the name is unique for a lotion because I would have never guessed what it smells like base on its name.
                There is a sticker on the bottle that tells you when it was made, when it expires and the name of the person who made the lotion (another first time for me).  The lotion smells like chocolate and is really smooth when applied to my hands. This past winter my hands definitely felt more dry and rough.  I rubbed my hand against my face before using the lotion and it was rough.  A few hours later, I rubbed my hand on my face again and my hands do feel smoother than before. Normally, when I use lotion before I eat my snacks I always feel like I'm eating the lotion.  However, formulae known as didn't make me feel like that.  So, I am satisfied for buying it even though the price was a bit higher than my other lotions.  I'm always open to try more organic and green products :) Organic and green products are better for the environment and your body.
