Top 5 Must Haves from LUSH

I love Lush. I do. Everyone should. Hopefully, you have one near you. Or even better, have a friend who works there to supply your addiction!

Here's my top 5 picks of what you MUST get form Lush.

#1 Bath Bombs and Bubble Bars (a 2-for-1)



So many scents, so little time. I prefer the Comforter bubble bar or the Sex Bomb or Twilight bath bomb. You can break them into chunks to make them last longer, which is nice. The scents last a long time, sometimes longer than the hot water in your bath! While they seem a bit pricey, the relaxation that comes from your bath will be worth every penny.

#2 Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter



Hands down, one of the most amazing cuticle creams on the planet. I use Essie cuticle oil in the morning and this is on my coffee table. I use it every night and not only are my cuticles getting better, but the smell is just incredible.

#3 Mint Julips Lip Scrub



After the shower, when my entire face is clean and freshly exfoliated, I use this and immediately follow it with Aquaphor! It exfoliates, tastes amazing, clears the sinuses a bit, and you simply lick off the extra!

#4 Buffy Bar



The best invention EVER. No joke. Use this in the shower and it replaces lotion! Leaves skin smooth and fresh and clean! Get the tin to store it so it lasts longer!

#5 Ocean Salt Scrub



While you can use this on your body, I prefer it just on my face. Twice, sometimes three times a week. Tastes salty when it gets in your mouth, but leaves your skin so fresh and so clean

My Night Time Routine

What is your night time beauty routine? I'm VERY basic. Like VERY basic. At 36 years old, you'd think I'd have this insane, ridiculous skin care regimen that I'd do. Nope. I didn't wear makeup until I was 30, didn't learn how to wear eyeliner or colored lipstick until last year, and I actually didn't start "taking care of my skin" until I was about 35. Crazy, I know. BUT, I have a routine and I stick with it. Here's my night time routine. Stay tuned for my morning/every day routine!

Every night, after I brush my teeth, I wash my face with Cetaphil (from any drugstore in existence), splash some BeautyCounter Rose Water on my face, and use my night time Benefit Face Cream.



Then, depending on how dry my skin is, I either use Ultra Repair Cream for basic normal to dry spots, usually my heels of my feet, my elbows, and random spots here and there. If it's bad, like the dead of winter, I use Bag Balm (I was raised on a farm and we used it on cow udders) on my hands and feet and put socks on then get into bed. Seriously. It works. My grandma used to do it with Vaseline!



When I get into bed, on my nightstand, I have this incredible lotion that I love. I've used it probably since college and the lavender smell soothes me to sleep. Bath and Body Works Lavender and Chamomile lotion, with a pump, is perfect. Just a few pumps, lather on my hands, up my arms, and on my elbows soothes me perfectly.



So tell me, what's part of your night time routine?
