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?

Lokai Bracelets

I first saw an image of these bracelets about a year ago and I thought the concept behind them is so cute. If you've never seen them before they are are plastic bubble bracelets with one white and one black. The white one contains water from mount Everest and the black one contains mud from the Dead Sea.

I really love the concept behind these bracelets which is why I asked for them. It's meant to represent the highs and lows in life. The water from Mount Everest represents the high points in life and the mud from the Dead Sea represents the lows. The thing I like about the bracelets is that they symbolize balance. Meaning if you're at a low you won't be there forever and vice-versa, which is a good thing to think about when you're feeling sad. It's nice to have a little reminder that things will get better, and even if you're at a high, you can be happy knowing how far you've come to get there. 

I don't know why you can't read the writing on the picture but it says 'Water from Mount Everest: Sometimes you're on top of the world, stay humble', and 'Mud from the Dead Sea: Sometimes you've hit a low, stay hopeful'. I really like how simply it's put. It's so cheerful and upbeat. I haven't actually worn the bracelet much because it keeps getting stuck when I wear a jacket, which is essential these days, so it makes me sad that I don't wear it out much.

The white one is the original Lokai bracelet and the pink one was released during October in aid of breast cancer and breast cancer awareness month. When you buy one they donate some money towards the cause, which is another good reason to get one. I just think it's a cute, simple way to uplift someones mood or to get them to think about the better things in life. That's what it does for me anyway. 

Anyone have any Lokai bracelets or think it's a good idea?
