Lush, Mac and Book Haul.
LUSH
I took a trip to Lush yesterday to purchase some items that were missing from my life. I purchased;
Lemony Flutter - Cuticle butter (1st time buy)
Honey I washed the kids - Soap (2nd time purchase)
Curly Wurly - Shampoo (1st time buy)
American Cream - Conditioner (1st time buy)
Sample: Coconut powder deodorant.
I was also given Big shampoo for free, it was a lovely surprise. Thank you Lush for such good customer service. :) This is my 2nd tub!
I originally went in to get 'big' shampoo but decided that 'curly wurly' was more suited to my hair type after consulting the sa. I assumed it was for curly hair, and was assured it's for anybody who needs moisture in their hair. It's a pinky colour and has lots of coconut chunks in it.
I explained that I was trying to grow my hair, and was advised that I should wash my hair with 'curly wurly' one day, 'big' the next and 'curly wurly & big' mixed together another day. So that my hair would keep guessing?! Will let you know how that goes!
MAC CONCEALERS
The Benefit boing that I purchased recently isn't cutting it. I think they have changed the formula AGAIN, and somehow it doesn't sit properly, it just cakes, settles and looks disgusting.
So, I headed to Mac as most of you said that they were your favourite concealers to use. I purchased the 'Select moisture cover' in NW30 for under my eyes and the 'studio finish concealer' in NC35 to cover blemishes on my face. I have never tried these concealers before, the only Mac concealer I have tried is the 'Select cover up'. These better preform!
BOOKS
I also took a trip to Borders, they are closing down!!! :( They are in administration so all books are on sale. I grabbed these;
The black book of style - Nina Garcia
The art of Indian head massage - Mary Atkinson
Secrets of youth and beauty (aromatherapy for natural rejuvenation) - Daniele Ryman
Will let you know if they are amazing once I have finished reading them!
Comments
Lush has indeed great customer service, they know how to keep us happy!
I didn't love Nina Garcia's book though. =/
Second- I have curly wurly shampoo and it's pretty awesome. The texture is weird, but I like it-because it has that coconut or something in it, so it feels odd rubbing it in your hair. Sometimes it tends to frizz my hair when I use it, and I have tp use more products, but could just be my hair :-)
Lemme know if ya like it.
Good luck with your concealers.I'm not sure if they have CG where you live but if so, you may want to give the concealer a try.I wrote an entry on it yesterday.Creamy and covers great for under the eye.

I have just finished my bottle of american cream, the smell lingers till the next wash, but I didn't notice any breat improvement in the condition of my hair,so I will not repurchase. MAC concealers-one word - great ;)
what's the cuticle butter like? it sounds tempting....
Would love to know your thoughts on the Curly Wurly shampoo :)
Hope that helps!
will do full reviews soon!
