Lush Ickle Baby Bot and Dragon's Egg

Lush is an addiction. I think I stop by that place just to drool over everything at least once a week. It's horrible and I have a problem.

But enough about me and my issues. I want to talk about Lush's amazing bath bombs that make taking baths even better.

I bought the Ickle Baby Bot and Dragon's Egg.

Ickle Baby Bot is a tiny robot packed with lavender, chamomile, and sandalwood to calm the body and the mind. It's really geared for kids before bed time but I wanted to try it too.

Lately I've been having a hard time sleeping. My schedule is all over the place so there will be days when I wake up at three in the morning for work or I am just coming home at 12 am. 

(Retails for $3.95)

What it did:

• Fizzed inside the bathtub 
• Turned my bath water blue
• Smelled wonderful in my hands but disappeared once it hit the water

It's adorable but honestly it didn't put me to sleep. However I got one for my 3 year old sister and my mom said she never seen her knock out so fast.

Overall I would buy it for my younger siblings but not for me.

Dragon's Egg is my favorite hands down. I kept think about Harry Potter and how he  should have went to Lush and bought one instead of fighting the actual dragon. He is so silly.

This is a best seller for a reason folks.

What it did:

• Fizzed, foamed, and spun around in the bath tub. It looked like fireworks!
• Smelled like citrus with hints of jasmine and the scent didn't fade until I got out of the water
• Left the skin moisturized 
• Turned clear water into a vibrant orange 

Overall it's everything I had expected when I bought it. I recommend this to everyone.

LUSH Henna Hair Dye

I was considering dying my hair but I'm hesitant in adding harsh chemicals to my fine thin hair. Chao Bunny made a really good point in my last post but I just really love that ombre! Well a new store opened in San Diego called LUSH. They are an all organic one stop shop for body, hair, and even cosmetics. I absolutely love them already. I took home a sample of the R&B leave in conditioner and I'll be coming back for much more. But enough about that.

A sales associate introduced me to their Henna hair dyes. 100% all natural hair dye that you can use whenever you feel like brighting or buiding your hair color. It actually covers your hair strands instead of killing the proteins in them and nourishes your scalp and hair.

"We use the finest Persian henna, which has been used since ancient times to dye the skin and hair. The leaves are dried and ground into a powder and it is this, mixed with conditioning cocoa butter, which forms the basis of our Cacas."

The website lists all the ingredients used and even has the pictures next to them. They also have directions on how to break down the dye which I have posted on here as well.

1. Cut henna up into small pieces and put in a heatproof bowl.
2. Add hot water and let steep. Mix to a yogurt-like consistency.
3. Put on gloves and apply from back to front, coating hair thoroughly.
4. Cover in cling wrap for a more vibrant red. Leave on for one to six hours.
5. Rinse, shampoo, and condition hair.
Tips: Always do a strand test first. Use face cream (or Ultra Bland) around your hairline and ears to protect skin. Wrap hair in cling film for a redder color. For darker, richer colors, leave on longer (up to six hours).

 

I've never heard about this but I'm willing to give it a try. For a safe, chemical free way to dye my hair to the color I want for about $25 makes me want to run over there right now. I'll probably be trying this out next week. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Have you tried any LUSH products? What are your thoughts on Henna?
