😈Shopaholic Product Review : Lush Dark Angels😈

Image 10 Comments

🍃Hello Everyone❗️

🍃Long time no see ✨❣ I just got back from a long vacation last week and I am still in transition from holiday to back to routine mode😩 which is why I was absent from blogging for so long✍🏼.

🍃So I figured what better way to get the regular routine officially started then with a produt review ✨

🍃I used this product throughout my vacation since I had run out of my previous 🍃Lush Herbalism cleanser. 

🍃Presenting the Lush Dark Angels face wash✨

🍃The Dark Angels face wash is very appropriately named because it is totally that🌑. I was initially a bit nervous putting it on my face but the promise of clearer, fresher skin made me get over it 😁. Are you guys ready for this❓Here goes ✨ 

🍃The product has a moist somewhat crumbly texture and is comprised of powdered charcoal, rhassoul clay, black sugar,avocado and rosewood oil. You just add some water to make a paste and off you go❗️Fair warning the pics you will see below might be a tad bit alarming so proceed with caution‼️

🍃Yes I admit i did have a lot of fun using this once I got over the initial shock of seeing my face so startlingly black 😱.

🍃The face wash is satisfyingly exfoliating I personally don’t like creamy cleansers or soft exfoliators. I don’t feel my skin is clean enough unless I give it a good scrub. This cleanser is perfect if you have super oily or acne prone skin, if you have dry or sensitive skin it might be too much for you. 

🍃The only peeve I have is its too messy too use so I wouldn’t recommend wearing lighter colors when using this. Also it tends to leave behind residue so you have to wash your face throughly or use a gel cleanser after it you might end up with black streaks on your face .

🍃I give this product a 4/5✨ have you tried this cleanser❓let me know what your favorite Lush products are 😘

🌹Shopaholic’s Product Review : Lush Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner 🌹

Image 16 Comments

Hello lovelies!🌹

🌹Hope you are all having a wonderful sunmer🔆! It’s been crazy busy for me with my semester ending and deadlines approaching which hopefully explains my absence from blogging 🔍.

🌹As you’ve probably gleaned from my previous posts summer here is uncomfortably hot and humid 🔥. Which makes it the perfect time to be reviewing this particular product. 

🌹I am an avid moisture buff, I need my moisturizers year round, although I have to say in 90% humidity it does get a little tricky to incorporate a body moisturizer into the routine. That was when Lush came to the rescue🆘

🌹I was in the Oxford street Lush store , 3 glorious floors of everything Lush❣When I came upon this delicious product🌹 The Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner🌹

🌹I have to be honest, as much as I love Lush, I am disappointed that their products don’t have striking fragrances.

🌹Which is precisely why I want to start off first by gushing about the fragrance❗️It is divine❣Like fresh roses and Rose and berry jam🌹😍😋! Everytime I have used this product I have had someone ask me what smells so delicious?❣


🌹Ok now that I’ve raved about the fragrance lets get on with the rest of the details. This is not a typical moisturizer  that you slather on after your shower. It’s a rinse off moisturizer meant to be applied in the shower post your soap or body wash and then rinsed off. 💦 I know it sounds a bit strange, I myself had to be repeatedly assured by the Lush rep that it was meant to be applied then rinsed off. Think off it like conditioner for your body instead of your hair hence the name ✨.

🌹Being the incredible skeptic I am, I applied it hesitantly post my shower then rinsed it off feeling a bit strange. I am used to the squeaky clean feeling, with this though my skin felt just slightly greasy. However once I toweled off my skin felt soft, moisturized and delightfully scented I couldn’t stop sniffing myself 😍☺️.

🌹On the ingredient side it contains generous helpings of Argan, Almond, Rose oil as well as vanilla and Shea butter✨.

🌹I rate this product a 5/5❣Have you guys tried this product? Let me know your experience I would love to know 😘

Let’s talk❣

🍃Shopaholic’s Product Review : Lush Love Lettuce Mask🍃

Image 6 Comments

Hello Loves!💕

Today’s product review is one that was totally unplanned. In fact I wasn’t even aware I had this particular product with me until I popped open my refrigerator ❄️.

So yesterday was a typical, scorching 🔥Dubai summer☀️ day with temperatures hitting 120 🌡degrees. When I finally came back in the house after running some unexpected errands I literally felt like my face was on fire 🔥.

Desperate to cool off I opened the referigerator and stuck my face in and that was when I caught sight of a familiar black pot siting in the corner of the door shelf. 

It was the Lush Love Lettuce Mask. I probably forgot all about it since it was a referigerated mask that I chucked in the fridge once I got home. The Love Lettuce Mask, is an exfoliating mask for oily and/or combination skin made with ground almonds, lavender and almond oil and fillers earth. 

The mask has a mild, lavender scent and a gritty texture. According  to the package you are supposed to leave it on for 10 mins then dampen your fingers and gently remove.
Before applying my skin was irritated from the heat, and greasy in the T- zone. Post washing my skin felt soft and literally refreshed. I followed with the Lush Vanishing Cream for a complete spa facial effect right at home 😍.I give this mask a 5/5 ✨. It calmed down my irritated skin, swept away all the oil and debris on my face and left my face soft, moisturized and can I say glowing?✨

All in all one of my favorite purchases from Lush💕. Which is your favorite Lush mask? I would love to know your recommendations 😇
Until next time xoxo💋❗️

🚫Shopaholic’s Review :  Products That Didn’t Live Up To The Hype🚫

Image 14 Comments

💕Hi Guys!

🚫Today I’m going to be talking about a product that missed the mark totally 🎯. Yup❗️not every product can be a winner sadly and this is just one of those duds 👎🏼.

🚫I had very high hopes for this product as it is from a brand that has met and/or exceeded my expectations everytime. So you can imagine I was very excited to be trying it out, especially since it came highly recommended and reviewed. 

🚫The Lush American Cream Conditioner✨ 

Lately my hair has been feeling very 🍂dry and getting unusually frizzy 🐩owing to the ever mounting heat 🔅and humidity💧 and since I am stuck on using only organic products my options are severely limited.

🚫This particular conditioner was recommended to me by the sales associate at Lush as well as having people raving about it online. When I used it however I could tell immediately by the texture that it was not moisturizing at all. The texture though thick coming out of the bottle didn’t feel creamy on my hair at all despite that fact that I applied it liberally and even left it on for more than my usual five min mark. On a positive note it did smell yummy like vanilla cake 🍰, however since I wasn’t going to eat it that didn’t really matter 👎🏼

🚫When I washed it out my hair felt just the way it did post shampooing i.e dry it didn’t feel like I had conditioned it all😐.

🚫Combing my hair was as difficult as I had feared post washing, it was tangled, knotted and eventually I had to use my Phyto leave in conditioner to attempt get the comb down the entire length of my hair. 😡

🚫Once dry my hair felt awfully dry and crunchy and frizzy 🍂💥. I had to apply some argan oil to the ends to try and smooth it out it was so bad😡. When I checked the ingredients I found Sodium Laureth Sulphate and Cetearal alcohol,Benzyl Alcohol and Benzoin Resinoid and Chloride 😱🚫Since I have been using sulphate free products in a while obviously my hair and body aren’t used to them anymore and what are they doing in Lush Products anyway? 

🚫Needless to say I was incredibly annoyed, not only did I have to go to the salon and have them use a deep conditioning treatment on my hair to combat the awful frizz I’m returning this crappy product ASAP❗️ I just hope the Lush store here honors their return policy 😡😡
🚫This is one product from Lush that has been a sore disappointment 🚫❌. Have you tried any Lush products that were bombs? 💣 Let me know 😘

Until next time xoxo❗️💋

🍃Shopaholic’s Product Review : Lush Herbalism Cleanser 🍃

Image 12 Comments

🍃Hey Everyone❗️

🍃Welcome to another fabulous product review✨ I know I’ve not been very active on the blog lately, but I’ve been bogged down by assignments ➕ I am fasting , so I am literally sapped of all energy 💧during the day.

🍃Anyway since I finished my assignment a week ahead of the deadline for once 🎉. I made a beeline for the mall the very next day 😍🛍. I had run out of my cleanser, moisturizer and body wash so I was really looking forward to some much needed retail therapy.💸

🍃Since it was the middle of the week in Ramadan🌙 no less, the mall was deserted 😍❗️So for once I was able to go into the Lush store and look around in peace ☮. Usually the store is packed 😡 and the assistants are harried and you have to wait forever to get a turn at the basins 💧to try out something.

🍃Today, I was assisted by one of their lovely employees who let me try out the different products to my hearts 💕content and I came away clutching my haul happily.  

🍃The product i’m going to review, is the 🍃Lush Herbalism Cleanser. Lately my skin has been going into oil production overdrive and using conventional acne cleansers including my beloved Alba Botanica were not helping matters 😡. Plus my regular moisturizer was leaving my skin looking like fly paper so I figured it was time for a change.

The 🍃Herbalism cleanser is unlike any I’ve tried before. It is a bright green, crumbly, damp powder which is tightly packed in the standard black Lush pot. 

🍃Key ingredients : Kaolin clay, rice bran and ground almonds . 🍃You take a small pinch of the cleanser, wet💦 your fingers and rub in into your palm. When it comes in contact with water it becomes like a paste which you can then rub over your face. It doesn’t have any discernible fragrance just a very mild herby scent.🍃 It does not foam or produce any suds, instead it had a mild scrub like texture. Weird I know, I am so accustomed to suds that I was very skeptical about the product actually cleaning my face. 

🍃However once I dried my face I was pleasantly surprised to find that my face was not only clean it was sans that dryness and tightness that I get post  washing that immediately makes me reach for my moisturizer. 

🍃My skin felt soft and clean, though I did follow it up with the Lush Vanishing Cream ( Review coming soon!). I really can’t be without moisturizer.😳 Fast forward 8 hours later my skin is moisturized and soft but not oily✨ No shiny, spot a mile away T zone❗️

🍃All in all so far I’m really liking this cleanser, I admit the oil control factor has to do with using in conjunction with the Vanishing cream. Even so I give it 4/5✨

🍃Have you guys tried the Herbalism cleanser? What are your favorite products from Lush?

Until next time xoxo💋❗️

✨Shopaholic Enchanted ✨

Image 5 Comments

💕Hey Guys!

✨Today’s product ✨review is going to be all about the eyes 👁. I am forever on the hunt🔎 for the holy grail👼🏼 of eye creams. One that can once and for all get rid of the dark circles, puffiness, lines and all those pesky problems all of us face. 

✨This time I decided to try out the highly rated Lush Enchanted Eye Cream. I had already bought and am currently using their Dream Cream which I love💕 you check out that review here.     ✨The Enchanted Eye Cream comes in a 45 gram pump bottle with the signature black and white Lush packaging. It is formulated for both day and night use. Ingredients include almond oil, lavender water, jojoba oil and glycerin.   ✨It has a very light consistency, not too thick but not runny either. You really need a tiny amount, it absorbs quickly and moisturizes the delicate eye area.

  ✨In terms of combating ⚒eye area problems it delivers fairly well at moisturizing, no more dry creepy skin, dark circles are improved, I haven’t had to use concealer since I started using this. Not to say that my dark circles are completely gone but they have gotten considerably lighter. I don’t have fine lines so i cannot comment on that aspect.

✨Overall I would rate this cream a 4.5/5!✨ Have you guys tried any Lush products? Which one do you recommend I would love to know! 😘

💄What’s In My Basket❓ A Shopaholic’s Beauty Stash💄

Image 18 Comments

Hello Lovelies !💟

💟Today I’m going to give you guys a peak inside my bathroom basket. As you know I’m a skincare junkie and I love trying new organic products 💕.Since my bathroom lacks adequate storage space I have to make do with putting my things in baskets on any available surface space😐. 

 💟Lately however, my basket has been overflowing with items making it difficult for me to get to things without having to tip the whole lot out.😳 So I decided It was time to do a toss and repurchase  pile.

💟Ready for the big reveal ❓Here goes 💕!  

💟Lets start sorting !  

💟Lets get the hair accessories out of the way first , starting with my Body Shop hairbrush which I love 💕. I ended up repurchasing this as I broke the old one 😪. Then there is my big old wide toothed comb which is a must post hair washing for detangling. I cannot imagine even attempting to sort my hair without it .

💟 Then there are my assorted hair bands for keeping my overgrown bangs out of my face till I can find a hairdresser to give me the perfect fringe..sigh..If anyone in Dubai knows an awesome ✨hairdresser please do let me know.

💟I love fragrances so I always have an assortment at hand these are my current favs – Estée Lauder Pleasures, Chanel Chance, Crab Tree & Evelyn Pear & Magnolia & of course the good old Bath and Body Works mini for on the go spritzes .😘

💟My Andalou favorites , the 1000🌹 Roses Day cream , Visibly Firm Day cream, Chia Seed Exfoliator and the Natural Glow oil . Repurchase yes please ! ✨

💟My other long term favorite MooGoo, this is an Australian brand that makes all natural, organic 🍃products. I currently use their Brightening cream, SPF 40,lipshine by Dusty girls a sister company of MooGoo, the natural deodorant, 3 Vitamin Eye Serum, Super Vitamin Eye Serum and Tamanu oil.   Repurchase maybe 🤔 

💟The Lush dream cream,Gurugu hand cream I recently reviewed. Check it out here. Plus a recent purchase the Lush Enchanted Eye Cream 💕which I will be reviewing soon. Repurchase yes !

💟I found the Fade cream a while ago in Boots and decided to try it on some sun🔅 spots I got courtesy of Dubai 😡. After 3 weeks of usage I have seen zero results so this one will be a toss for sure. 👿

💟Plato’s scar serum and cream these came highly recommended but failed miserably at delivering 😡😡. Toss!

💟Crab Tree and Evelyn hand creams, I love theses minis 💕especially the Rose 🌹scented ones 💖. Repurchase yes please!

💟Finally the Morrocon Argan oil , I used this product all up, but didn’t see any remarkable results other than it being a good overall moisturizer. Repurchase maybe 🤔

💟The Juice Beauty Serum and Hair Smoothie which I got in my Petit Vour Box and honestly didn’t care for. Toss

💟There you have it guys✨ a peak inside my beauty basket ! Hope you guys enjoyed this post💕. Let me know your comments I would love to hear from you 😘.
