Potion


Spicy and captivating... let it work its spell on you


I bought this at the start of summer which was perhaps not the best idea, because it is certainly more of a wintry scent. The rose and carnation fragrance does give hints of a summer garden but the orange and clove take the leading role, giving a more wintry feel to the fragrance. It does last all day and is a very strong solid perfume (don't overdo it) and is not recommended if you suffer from headaches, but all in all it is very sophisticated and sexy.

Sympathy For The Skin




White chocolate whipped body cream... yummy




Although this product is marketed as having a "banana custard" scent, "white chocolate with vanilla" is more accurate. Speckled with flecks of vanilla pod and made with mashed bananas, this cream made me want to grab a spoon and eat it like a very luxurious yogurt. Good thing I didn't though, because it will last me much longer used as it says on the pot. Although I would wear it for scent alone, it is in fact the most softening body lotion I have ever used... and will continue to use for a very long time into the future. Absolutely mouthwatering.

Catastrophe Cosmetic


The perfect way to solve a catastrophe of the skin


Catastrophe Cosmetic is the second Lush face mask I have tried and I must say I am highly impressed. Prior to the re-pricing of the masks, which has resulted in them all being priced the same, this was by far the most expensive. I had always wanted to try it but it was way out of my price range. However, when the price change came into place I siezed my opportunity and purchased the pot of purple loveliness for my skin - which had indeed become a bit of a catastrophe. After just one application of the beautifully textured and delightfully scented mixture, my skin had a much more even tone and was not in the least flakey. Since then my skin has also stopped erupting at the slightest provocation. Wonderful!
