Lush Toner Waters Review | Tea Tree & Eau Roma

Lush Toner Waters | Tea Tree Water & Eau Roma Water

Lush Tea Tree Toner Water | £3.95 | 100g 

Lush Eau Roma Toner Water | £3.95 | 100g

I have been a massive fan, and avid user, of the Tea Tree lush toner water for the past 4 years now. A toner water is basically a toner (in water form that you can spray) that removes any last traces of make-up or cleanser, as well as tightening and reducing pores. Before Lush, I often found many toners far too drying, leaving my skin tight and uncomfortable. Lush's toner waters are far lighter on the skin and are lovely to apply. These waters can either be lightly sprits straight onto freshly cleansed skin or, as I personally prefer, a few pumps only a cotton wool pad and a quick wipe (I find this better for equal distribution or the product). During my late teens and early 20's I found that the Tea Tree Toner water was perfect for keeping my occasional spot prone skin under control, as this water contains anti-bacterial properties that help keep spots at bay. Now that I am reaching my mid 20's my skin is far less oily and rarely breaks-out. On a quick visit to the new Lush store in Glasgow, I asked the ever-helpful girls in store if she could perhaps recommend a new toner now my skin is changing. She recommended the Lush Toner 'Eau Roma' toner water. This toner water is far more gentle on the skin, it can be used everyday to gently tone the skin while still allowing the skin to stay hydrated and nourished. Another benefit of using a rose water (the main ingredient in this product) on the skin is that it also reduces redness...something most pasty girls, like myself, suffer with. I have been using this product now for the past month and I have noticed my skin is a softer and I am still not suffering from any breakouts. Both of these toner waters are also excellent value for money. A 100g bottle (smaller size) will easily last me around 6 months (using twice daily)! At only £3.95 for the Eau Roma Water & the Tea Tree Water, that works out pretty cheep! 

Have you tried any of the Lush Toner Waters?

Lush Goodies | Ultimate Shine Solid Shampoo Bar

Ultimate Shine Solid Shampoo Bar

I have been a massive fan of Lush's solid shampoo bars for so long. They are perfect for traveling and on short trips or beach holidays when you don't want to be carrying bottle after bottle of cosmetics and toiletries. Before my recent trip to Amsterdam I headed into my nearest Lush store to pick one up and after a wee chat with the ever s helpful Lush staff I decided to go for this, Ultimate Shine bar. Lush have changed back the recipe of there bars so they lather much better than they did before so that was a massive plus. This bar really did live up to its name, just after one wash (and with no other products) my hair was super soft and even managed to tame my frizzy hair in the Amsterdam heat! The sent on this bar isn't as strong as some of the stores other products but it leaves your hair smelling fresh but not overpowering. Ultimately I can't wait to use this bar again next time I go away on a little holiday to give my hair a shiny treat, and for just £5.50 I think its pretty good bargain too!

Review | Lush Fresh Face Mask ' Love Lettuce'

'Love Lettuce' Fresh Face Mask

Its pamper time here in the Miss Sajja household and so I thought I would review another Lush Fresh face mask. My skin, for once, has been pretty well behaved and I was looking for a mask just to brighten up the skin a little and didn't want anything too heavy that would break me out so I went for one of the most popular face masks.... 'Love Lettuce'!! 

This face mask claims to exfoliate and nourish your skin to leave it 'bright, fresh skin that glows inside and out' well what more could you want!!

As always applying these masks are a joy in themselves as they need to be kept in the fridge so they are cool and refreshing. After leaving that mask on for 10mins or so I rinsed off the mask in the shower and   this was just as enjoyable as putting on the mask. You can really feel it exfoliating the skin, but in a gentler way than some face scrubs. Even after an hour my skin felt very soft and I didn't even really feel the need to apply any moisturiser after using the mask. Within the next few days my skin stayed notably softer although I didn't really see and 'brightening' of the skin... but hey, it is Winter in Canada!!

Love Lettuce is a face mask I have used before and I will continue to use again. It perfect for most all skin types... especially combination as it really balances out your skin... it gives it what it needs most and the best part is it has never lead me to break out so it's perfect to use before a special occasion to give your skin a wee boost... without the fear of spots!!

Its around the $7 mark here in Canada but you get at least 4-6 uses out of each tub so it is very good value for money! One down side though, is that this mask is often so popular that it is often sold out so a little tip would be to find out by one of the shop assistants when they get more in/ make up the pots, we always know that they are happy to help in Lush!! :D

Thats All for Now

Winter Skin Routine

Why hello there... I have a Skin care post for you all this Sunday

In Scotland the weather is pretty much always the same; Grey and Wet, so i have never really needed to change my skin care routine. Canada however is a whole other kettle of fish!! When I arrived in August my skin was painfully greasy and I had to change lots of my products. Now That we are a few weeks into November my skin has taken a bit of a hit with this freeeeeeeeeeezing cold weather ... and I know the worse is still to come so getting a winter skin routine down now is really important to look after my skin over the coming winter months!

Liz Earle | Cleanse and Polish 100ml | £14/ $22

Bioderma 250ml | $16/ £10

The First part to a good make up routines is a good cleanser, or in this case, two! First I use Bioderma to remove all my make up as soon as I get in from School. Just before bed I then Cleanse with the Liz Earle Cream cleanser that really gets all the dirt off your face while leaving your skin soft and smooth and it does not strip away all your natural skin oils.

Lush | Tea Tree Toning Water 100ml | £3.95 / $9.95

Next I lightly tone my face with this Lush Toning water, I spray a few spritzes on my face and wipe off any residue  with a cotton pad! This is a light toner that tone not over tighten your pours so perfect for the winter when you want to keep as much moisture in your skin as possible.

Nivea | Aqua Sensations day cream 50ml | £10/ $22 

The Body Shop | Nutriganics eye cream 15ml | £14 / $20

Jouviance | rejuvenating anti-againg cream (sample 5ml) 50ml $93.50

The Final, and most important stage in my winter skin care routine is moisturising!! A good Moisturiser will depend a lot on your skin type, for me anything too like will dry out my skin and anything too heavy will break me out (even during the winter months) A product that I have been loving is the Nivea  Visage Aqua Sensations day cream. It has a light fragrance and quickly seeps into the skin and when I wake up the next morning my skin feels soft and smooth!

Also this time of year is to take EXTRA care or your eye area! I am currently using two eye creams. This first is one of my all time favourites for getting rid of under eye bags : The body shops Nutriganics range smoothing eye cream. Also from this Months Glossy box I am using a richer formula to really hydrate the eyes; Jouviance 3 in 1 day, night and eye cream. Its an anti-aging formula so it is really rich and perfect for this time of year!

An Extra tip to great winter skin (or great skin in general) is water!! It is more important that ever to keep you skin hydrated! If you are not a fan of water, add some squash or fresh fruit to give it some more flavour but by always having a bottle at hand it will help to keep your skin looking fresh!!

Whats your go-to winter skin saver??

Lush Goodies | You Snap the Whip & BB Seaweed

Hello there!!!

This weekend I popped into Lush to pick up a few goodies to help me beat the dry, tired winter skin to give my skin a little boots and heres what I picked up!

You Snap the Whip Body Butter | $11.49

Lush describes this body butter as a hard core scrub that cap 'whip your skin into soft submission' and boy do I agree! I like a scrub that you can really see and feel working! This body butter is filled with pumice and charcoal to get rid of every last bit of dead skin! It is also filled with macadamia nut oil that helps smooth and sooth your skin after the hard exfoliation. The sent is a rather strong black current so if your a fan then you love it (like I am)! I wouldn't recommend using this body butter everyday as it is powerful enough to use one or twice a week to still see good results!

Fresh Face Mask: BB Seaweed | $6.95

Now that my body is covered I though it would be nice to try another of Lush's fresh face masks. This face mask is full of skin loving seaweed, Rose absolute oil to help moisturise the skin. This mask is targeted towards light exfoliation and moisturising for more sensitive skin! On application the mask felt great (as all these chilled masks do) and after about 5-10 mins it had started to dry as my skin drank in all its goodness! This mask was a little hard to rinse off but as you removed the mask you got a good exfoliation too!!! My skin felt great afterwards, a lot better than the 'cupcake' face mask that did nothing for my skin! I felt this mask is good for combination skin as it neutralised oil and dry patches on my skin! I think I would defiantly re-purchase this mask again, although 'love leccice' is still my No. 1 mask from the lush fresh face mask range!

Have any of you guys beed treating your self to some winter goodies??

Thats all for now

Review | Lush Fresh Face Mask 'Cupcake'

Hello there strangers!!! 

After a crazy week at uni this Thursday I fancied a treat! Coming to Canada I have been stripped of some of my go to luxury product and my skin has really suffered. With all the stress and 'that' time of the month I fancied a quick fix and didn't want to spend a fortune so on the way home from uni I popped into Lush and look what I found...

(source)

I am a MASSIVE fan of the lush fresh face mask 'love lettuce' but with my skin being so oily of late I though I would try this chocolate indulgent treat 'Cupcake' that was made with teenage skin in mind 

Good enough to eat??

Oh... I think i got a little 'Cupcake' on my face!!

Fresh out the fridge the cooling sensation on my face was lovely but that was about all I really loved about this product. The smell was very chocolatey and rich but the consistency wasn't great. the mask didn't go on as easy as some of their others and after the 15mins were up I didn't feel any real difference on my skin!!! 

The amount of product for the money is great with these face masks so maybe after a few more tries i'll love it a little more but, for me, this product has nothing on 'love lettuce'

Have you tried any of the Lush fresh face masks?? If so what was your favourite??
