Body Shop Carrot Wash Energising Face Cleanser | Review

 This cleanser was not something that I went into the Body Shop to purchase. I actually had never heard of this collection before but when I saw it I knew it was something I'm interested in. This product is the Body Shop Carrot Energising Face Cleanser. This product is vegan and comes in 100% recyclable packaging, which is something I love in a product. The packaging also has a really nice feel to it. This cleanser is made from what they describe as 'ugly' or 'wonky' carrots, ones that aren't commercially sellable in the super market that people don't want to eat as they look unpleasing. I appreciate that these carrots aren't going to waste and will actually be used for something. I also really love when you look up this product on the website there is a really clear 'how to use' section. 

I can't say that I've ever used carrots in any of my skincare routines before. I feel like in general skin care products, usually fruits are used rather than vegetables. I was excited to try this as carrots are one of my favourite vegetables. This face wash does smell like carrots and it's very subtle, it doesn't have a strong smell but it is pleasant. This scrub is meant for daily use and although it is a cleanser I would not use it as a cleanser in terms of taking makeup off but more as an energising morning face wash. This makes your skin feel super soft and the carrot feels really nice for your skin. I don't know what properties carrot would have for doing good things for your skin but it does feel really cleansed. It feels similar to using a citrus scrub. This is definitely a product I would re-buy and will probably have in my skin care routine in the future.

Has anyone tried this before what do you think?

Lush Let the Good Times Roll | Review

Feels like ages since I've written anything once again! I should be writing my  favourites right now but I haven't prepared it so I think I'll mash that with next months favourites too. Right now I'm going to be reviewing my current favourite Lush product, Let the Good Times Roll. My friend actually used this product a lot a little while ago and I was like why is there popcorn in this that's weird, but it's actually so good. The product is a cleanser and it removes any excess makeup and dirt from your face. It smells like popcorn and caramel, sometimes I think it smells like yogurt but in a good way. It contains a lot of maize and corn which helps soften the skin and contains real popcorn pieces which are pretty cool but get really annoying. 


   


I don't use the cleanser after I take off my makeup usually as I use my Ultrabland cleanser. I use this one in the shower as a face scrub, you take a small portion into your palms and rub them together under water to make the product spread out. Then I rub it into my skin and it feels so fresh and clean afterwards. You can tell this product really works and I'd highly recommend it. I like it better than other Lush cleansers I've tried as it's not really liquid-y and it's not as sticky. The only con is that the lumps of popcorn don't shrink when you rub the prduct in your hands and they can feel a little uncomfortable at times, but there's not many in a tub so it's all good. 

Has anyone tried this product before? What do you think of it? 

Lush | Ultrabland

Another Lush post? How unlike me, it's not like I don't post enough about them. Lush's Ultrabland has become probably my all time favourite Lush product I've tried so far, I know I say that all the time but I know I'm going to be repurchasing this, we're off to a good start already.
Ultrabland is a cleanser and a make up remover used to 'soften and thoroughly cleanse the skin.' It 100% does this, and in the short month that I've had it it definitely has improved my skin's condition. It has made my skin a lot clearer, other than the usual breakout, and makes my skin feel soft and really clean.



The product is mainly consisting of beeswax and rose water and it smells like honey. I bought it as I heard it was really good for removing access makeup and clearing your skin. Normally I remove the bulk of my makeup with a makeup wipe then apply this all over my face. Then with a wet cotton pad I remove the product from my face. You can visually see the amount of excess makeup that comes off your face even after you think you've cleaned it all off. It leaves the feeling of beeswax on your skin which kind of feels like a layer of protection against dirt particles, I'm not sure if it's meant to be like that but it works.

This is the Lush founder's number one desert product and I can see why. It works as a cleanser, toner and face mask all in one, in my opinion. It has done wonders for my skin and I use it almost every day. You only have to use a little bit to cover your whole face too so this is lasting me so long, it's well worth it. If you've tried some of Lush's face masks before and felt like they did your skin good I feel like this would be a good alternative to try if you've never tried it before. It removes all the bad stuff from your face just like a face mask. Although it does lack the amazing Lush face mask smell, it can be taken off instantly and quickly.

This is my number one skin care product from Lush for sure, has anyone else tried it before? What are your favourite Lush skin products?
