sholanda introduced me to LUSH awhile back and thank god for her! i LOVE this stuff! particularly, the face things. as i have bitched many many times in this lj, i have super oily skin and i'm prone to breakouts, especially when stressed. all the different oil-free or acne washes didn't help and my skin was always gross oily. then one day, i'm at shola's house and she says "angels on bare skin is fantastic! feel my face!" and so i tried it. dude! i felt like my whole face calmed down AND i wasn't a walking oil slick anymore. YAY! so i used it until it ran out. since lush is kinda far away, i went back to the normal cleansers and my skin went back to oily. interesting.
however, burt's bees is pretty fantastical as well. the soap-free cleanser or whatever it's called is really nice. i'm still a little oily, but my skin has calmed down enough that i only breakout during the wrath or if i'm crazy stressed. also, their tea tree blemish thing is magic! i used clearisil for a long time but it never helped with the little fuckers that popped up. DUDE. so a pimple starts coming up, i zap it with the oil, it stays like that for a day or two then starts going away. it never gets to whitehead stage. awesome! yay for burt's bees! and thank you to patty cash for raving about it enough to make me curious.
so there's cleansers. back to lush and their tea tree toner. i've had this bottle almost a year and it's finally getting down to the bottom. i still don't understand how toner factors in to anything, but it feels nice. so i use it. and then i use their vanishing cream lotion. i'm in love with it and it lasts forever too. it's made for oily skin, so it's perfect.
when i met daniel for lunch, there was a lush at the gardenwalk so i totally stocked up on the face things. the girl said i could get a free something from the karma table. it was a bunch of different stuff in the karma scent. i've been curious about the dusting powder so i got it. i still don't get what it does, but i smell yummy. like incense and candy.
