Lush Kitchen

Vicky and I were invited to a blogger event at Lush Livingston where we'd spend an evening making face masks, learning about beauty products, getting massages and receiving colour consultations.

We began by mixing the Cupcake face mask which looked exactly like chocolate pudding, tempting everyone to lick spoon.

It was so interesting to seeing what went into the mixture and I was surprised by how everyday the ingredients were. I almost had everything I need to make in our own kitchen.

We were then set free to play with samples while waiting for our consultations.

I found an amazing purple eyeliner and I didn't even know that Lush made make-up.

For the colour consultation, they asked us to close our eyes while they spun a table of colours. When we opened our eyes, we were asked to pick the first three colours that jumped out at us the most.

There were messages on the back of each colour which were to represent how we were feeling that day.

We were then treated to candy floss which turned into a drink when dissolved with water and arm massages. It was so relaxing and I was ready for bed afterwards.

Finally, we were given a tour of the rest of the products, stopping to smell soap, explode bath bombs and try different lotions on our skin.

One thing I was really glad to hear was that none of their products are testing on animals - instead they're actually tested on people from New Jersey but I'm not sure why.

These ones reminded me of something from Ghostbusters, but I had watched the film a couple of days earlier.

We were so sad when the night was finally over but things brightened up when we were each handed a goodie bag filled with Lush goodies in a Furoshiki wrapped scarf.
