Lush - Fair Trade Honey Shampoo Review

As promised, here's a review of the Fair Trade Honey Shampoo that I purchased at the launch night of the new range. If you want to know how that went you can check it out here.

So if you read my post on this you'll know that when I bought this I didn't exactly have the highest of expectations on what it would be like, and I bought it because the honey as an ingredient appealed to me. However, I was actually pleasantly surprised and since I bought this I haven't used any of my shampoo bars!

Very easy to use, but I'll explain anyway. Just put a small amount in your hand (you really don't need that much), massage through your hair, and then rinse.

When I explain the scent a lot of you are probably going to think I'm crazy, as I'm starting to believe that I'm the only one that can smell all these different scents. Firstly, I can smell honey, of course. Then when I sniffed more I could start to smell Turkish Delight, actual Turkish Delight, not the one that's covered in chocolate. Finally, I think it smells like cold tea! This was from using it and massaging through my hair, not from just smelling the bottle. As insane as these three scents sound together, I actually like the scent it leaves on my hair! I'm also going to accept the fact that I'm probably just crazy and no one else is going to notice any of these things...

As with a few other Lush hair products I've tried, I wasn't really convinced that this was anything fantastic when I washed my hair with it. However, once I dried my hair it felt amazing. My hair was so soft and smooth, and I'd actually describe it as feeling like silk. I have quite dry hair from having my hair dyed and highlighted so many times over the years, so it's not in the best condition. This however, made my hair feel amazing from the first use, and after using it a good few times now, I can definitely tell that it's really helping the condition of my hair.

Pros :

• Leaves a lovely perfumed scent in hair with honey without being overpowering.
• Great for those with dry, coloured hair.
• Leaves hair feeling silky smooth.
• All bottles can be returned to Lush to be recycled.

Cons :

• I really want to say nothing, because honestly I adore this shampoo, but I can see the price being too much for some people as it is £7.00 for a 110g bottle, compared to the £5.25 shampoo bars.

Overall, I can't recommend this shampoo enough. I can see my shampoo bars being set aside for a good while now because I love this product so much, and if you've followed my blog for a while, you'll know how much I love my shampoo bars! Trust me on this, you should definitely check this shampoo out if you get a chance.

Have you tried this Lush product? If yes, what did you think of it? Am I the only one being crazy with the scents?!

Lush - New Haircare Range Launch Night

I got a little invite in my inbox this week to the VIP launch night of Lush's new haircare range. Having already heard all about it as I spend too much time on their website, I was very interested to see what they'd be like in person.

Honestly, from looking at them online I wasn't sure if I really wanted to buy anything from this range as it sounded like they were focused mainly around perfumed scents, which isn't really top of my priorities in haircare. Don't get me wrong, I love for them to smell nice, I would just rather they made my hair super clean the most.

Roots was designed for people with thin, fine hair and promises to revitalise and bring some life back to your hair. This is something I could see myself buying as I have quite fine hair that could do with some lift.

Fair Trade Honey  is a gorgeous, honey scented shampoo. The texture and appearance looks exactly like it's name, and although I've never used any hair products with honey in them before, I can imagine this to work really well.

Sea Spray is a hair mist that adds texture to your hair, and helps to add definition to hair with a natural wave. It would be a very good product to add to your collection if you like to scrunch your hair. As said before, I have very fine hair, so I'm not sure how well it would work with mine, but I really want to try it anyway and see if it works!

Blousey is a banana scented shampoo, and even if you don't like banana (which I don't) it actually smells so good! It promises to help restore coloured, damaged hair. This again, is something I could definitely use!

The final product that I took a little snap of was Big, and this was the first product I looked at upon entering the store. It is the solid conditioner for the very popular Big shampoo. I've never used the shampoo, so I can't comment on this, but I love the look of the conditioner bar and the girl who worked there was very kind and gave me a little sample to try, so I'm very excited to see how it works out.

I ended up buying the Fair Trade Honey shampoo, even though I really don't need anymore shampoo. I know I said above that I wasn't really attracted to hair products that were all about scent, but this just looks so good that I can't wait to try it. I'll probably have a review after about a week of trying it so I'll let you all know how I got on.

At the end of the night we all got a little goodie bag with some samples of their new products to try so I can't wait to see how they all work for me so I can go and buy the full sized products.

I definitely recommend going into your local Lush store to try out some of these new products, or if you don't have one close by, you can shop online. You can look at all their new products if you click right here!
