You may or may not know about Lush Ltd, well if you don’t I’m sure your better halves would know of them. I’ve known about Lush for a few years, but only cause I buy me ma stuff from there at Christmas.
Lush are all about freshness, this is so they can make great and effective products, without having to put loads of harsh synthetics in them, so you know you’re getting quality gear.
I kinda thought that being such a product whore I would’ve known that they do men’s stuff, I didn’t… I hang my head in shame.
The lovely people at Lush sent me some products to try out, it was like Christmas! I’ve been converted and I think the lads here at Boob.ie liked the stuff too, am still waiting for someone to give me back me hair gel…you know who you are Ham Solo!
CoalFace Complexion Soap (€7.45 for 100g), is a mild facial cleansing bar that gives your skin a deep cleanse. I used it and I could tell it was mild, yet it left my skin literally squeaky clean. It will absorb any excess oil and gently exfoliate your skin. This soap would be great for anyone who’s prone to breakouts.
Shave The Planet Shaving Cream (€9.45 for 100g €18.85 for 250g) is the business for a soft, smooth shave. It’s moisturising, and softens the hairs before shaving and it’ll also help your skin retain moisture. It has lots of healing ingredients that are great for preventing razor burn. It’s a great product for shaving with, I did however notice I had to rinse out my razor a lot more then usual but in fairness it was worth it for the extra smooth, close shave that I ended up with.
I’m obsessed with exfoliating, one of my other favourite things is cocktails, Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub (€9.20 for 120g or €16.85 for 250g) is like my two greatest loves in a tub, and I don’t mean like Johnny Depp and Zac Efron in a bath. I couldn’t get enough of this stuff the smell is to die for, they say it’s like washing with a Tequila Slammer, eh yes please! It can be used daily on oily skin, and once a week to buff up dry skin.
Cosmetic Lad (€17.90 for 50g) is a multi-purpose moisturiser designed for men. It will 
calm, heal and protect your skin after shaving. There so many things that can add to your skins dehydration, like maybe one too many Guinesses down in The George….ahem…this will replenish lost moisture, and is great for any reducing any redness on your skin. What I loved most about this cream was that it didn’t leave a greasy feeling on my skin, I hate looking shiny!
I’m a hair product junky, but I find a lot of products make my hair look like it has product in it, and I don’t like that. I usually have to spend hours making my hair look naturally fabulous. King of the Mods (€11.90 for 100g) is a moisturising gel that gave me the look I wanted in no time. Thought it seemed too good to be true, but it wasn’t, it gave my hair a nice not greasy kind of shine and held the style all day.
I know a lot of you lads are finished up in College so you can afford a little shopping spree, so instead of using washing up liquid as an all over cleanser, head into your nearest Lush and treat yourself, or you can buy anything online here, and maybe treat the missus too, she’s put up with your pong for too long!
