Lush NEW Shampoo Bar

Hi guys! I apologize for being MIA. I was busy for the past couple of days but now I'm back for another product review.

I picked up a Lush shampoo bar since I couldn’t contain my curiosity about them anymore. The sales assistant suggested this New shampoo bar since my concern was hair fall at the moment. When I first smelt this at the store, I didn’t really quite like the scent so I was hesitant to buy it. Anyway, I ended up purchasing it. The New Shampoo Bar costs Php425 for 1.9g. It’s pretty pricey if you ask me but I guess the price of curiosity is expensive.

Lush New Shampoo Bar is a stimulating spice shampoo. It has:

Clove and peppermint oils to motivate tired scalps.

Help treat hair loss with cinnamon, clove and bay oils. When stress or life goes to your head, this shampoo will encourage hair growth and stimulate scalps. It's intense, but works a treat on irritated scalps or hair that's thinning.

Herbs for softness.

Rejuvenate hair with rosemary and nettle to make hair shiny and soft.

Nettle and peppermint

Nettle and peppermint stimulate the scalp and the hair follicles.

Eventually upon a couple days of use, the scent just grew on me and I didn’t have anymore issues with the smell of the bar. I love that it lathers oh so well. I enjoy rubbing it on my hair and massaging it on my scalp. It does a good job in cleaning the hair however it is really drying. After use, a heavy conditioner is a must.   I probably got carried away and over do the shampooing as I enjoy the lather of the shampoo bar. I feel like my current conditioner is not enough to bring back the lost moisture of my hair after shampooing so I might try a new conditioner after I finish the one I currently use. Or it could be that this shampoo bar is really harsh and not suited for every other day use. It did help me on the hair fall but it didn’t really stop my hair fall completely. I still have a couple of strands falling out here and there.

I had my sister use it recently and she also said that it was too drying that it took her numerous applications of conditioner to make her hair soft again. She said it is like an overly priced detergent (a.k.a. bareta).Hmm I don’t think I would be repurchasing this when I run out which would be a very long time from now since I have a lot left of this shampoo bar.

Lush Silky Underwear

I've been really curious about Lush ever since my cousin told me how great their products were. She especially loves their shampoo bars. To add to the curiosity, I've also seen YouTube videos about reviews. I've even browsed their website an take a mental note of what I'd like to try out.
After sometime I finally gave in and visited a nearby Lush store. I was trying to be a savvy shopper at the time and took note of the stuff that I  still have with me before proceeding to the store. I still had 2 bars of soap so Lush soaps would be a pass, I still had 3 bottles of shower gels so it's also a pass, I still have a bottle of shampoo, conditioner, and treatment so they're all a pass. FinalIy I still had 2 bottles of lotions too so again another pass. (it looks like I wouldn't be able to buy anything at Lush at the moment but it hit me I don't have any dusting powder of any sort so I wanted to get one). I already have the Silky Underwear in my list of things I'd like to try from Lush.

It was $11.95 on the website and I honestly didn't know how much it was in peso when I went there. It turns out that Lush Silky Underwear retails at Php495 and you get 100g of product. That's really pricey for me to think that the main ingredient of this product is cornstarch but I ended up buying it anyways.

What I love about this product is the scent. It has a jasmine scent and I love florals however the scent seems to fade away quickly. I would have loved it if the scent lingered longer (it would have at least justified the price a little). Another thing I like about this is that it has cocoa butter. The shop assistant told me to apply this on my legs if I have difficulty pulling up skinny jeans.... I was skeptical but nonetheless I put some on my thighs and legs then tried to put on my skinniest jeans and lo and behold it went on without difficulty, amazing I tell you! I also love the packaging it looks so sleek and modern.
I love that it reduces the greasy appliance of the skin if I overapplied Oilatum.
I been putting this on after I lotion my body in the morning and at night. It's all good since I didn't have any bad reaction slash allergy with the product. What irks me a lot is the messiness leaving white traces of powder on the floor on my clothing but of course that should be expected since well it's powder.
I have to say it leaves up to it's name. My skin felt so silky that I sometimes mindlessly touch it because of the silkiness it brings. (I don't know if ordinary powder can also do that since I've not tried that yet)

Overall I really liked it but I wouldn't probably repurchase. I don't see this as a necessity  it's actually more of an indulgent product to have. The price is basically the main prohibitive point. (though I'd probably repurchase this if it were on sale for 50% off :)

I'd like to try out other Lush products in the future. What lush products do you like that you can recommend me?
