During this time my face was really drying out. It was getting to the paint where skin was literally flaking off my forehead. So I ran in to see if they had any good moisturizers for dry skin. The sales girl was really polite and helped me pick a few things out.
1. Oatifix Fresh Face Mask ($6.95 apx) - The Facts: I had the Oatifix in my hand and the sales girl said it was enriched with bananas with rich oils that help quench dry skin. The mask also contains oatmeal and almonds which help to scrub the dead skin off your face. This mask is suppose to be gentle and perfect for sensitive skin.
My Thoughts: To be completely honest with you I've only used the mask once. I'm pretty bad when it comes to keeping a routine with face masks. Sometimes I'm so busy I barely get to wash my face at night. But anyways back to my review...the mask was pretty clumpy and looked as if I dumped oatmeal on my face. I don't feel like it moisturized my face greatly either. It was just an OK mask. I don't think I'll be re-purchasing.
2. Eau Roma Water Toner ($8.95) - The Facts: This toner was suggested for me by the sales girl. It is supposed to be Lush's most moisturizing toner with only 2 active ingredients; rose and lavender. The rose is to cool and nourish the skin while the oils in lavender moisturize.
My Thoughts: I have mixed feelings. Spraying my face with the toner is very refreshing but I don't feel like it really does anything to my skin. I also noticed that most other toners clean left over residue from make up after a face wash while this toner doesn't do that. This is also probably another product I will not purchase again from Lush.
3. Skin Drink Facial Moisturizer ($22.95) - The Facts: This moisturizer was highly suggested by the sales girl helping me that day. She insisted that I not leave the store without it. Skin Drink is made up of rose petal extract, avocados, and aloe vera.
My Thoughts: I LOVE IT! I only apply this moisturizer in the morning after I wash my face and before I apply my tinted moisturizer. After I apply it I literally feel like my skin is soaking up the moisture. It improved my dry skin in literally 2 days! The only face product I've purchased at Lush that I believe actually helped my dry skin. There are only 2 draw backs; 1) Hello! The price? Geez. $22.95? That's a little steep for me. But the amount in the container has been lasting pretty well so maybe it's worth it. If my skin's happy, I'm happy! 2) It smells funky. I think it's the avocado in it. It literally smells like rotten food or something along those lines. But with that said, I will definitely repurchase.
Rock Star Soap ($7.95 for 3.5oz) - The Facts: Vanilla fragrance soap that is supposed to leave your body feeling smooth and smelling sweet!
My Thoughts: I'm a huge fan of Lush soaps. I heard about Rock Star from one of the Youtube beauty gurus and had to smell for myself. Most Lush soaps leave your skin feeling great. This one does that as well and its pretty to look at. Definitely smells sweet too. The scent lingers on my skin for a few hours after a shower. Another repurchase.
Have a lovely day!
