LUSH Beauty Blogger Event

Just hanging out behind a table of soaps!

Last week Lush held a super amazing beauty blogger event at the Lush Sydney QVB store, there was lots of playing with products and we were overloaded with information but the one thing that I took away from the event was : Lush gives a shit, and I have fallen back in love with them for it.

In all area's it is a 'Full Circle' brand:

-All packaging is made from 90% recycled materials and all packaging can be recycled when you are finished with it.

-Lush sources ingredients from suppliers who are certified non animal testing companies and Lush does not test any of their products on animals.

-'Slush Fund' is an initiative Lush set up to support smaller suppliers to boost their businesses, to drive local business.

-All products are made from fresh organic fruit, vegetables, essential oils and safe synthetics.

- It is a transparent brand, the amount of money a consumer is paying for a product is for the product, not a marketing campaign or fancy packaging. It is for the high quality ethically sourced natural ingredients that Lush uses to create beautiful creams, lotions, bath bombs, massage bars and cleansers.

ANGELS ON BARE SKIN $16.95

Lush's #1 worldwide cleanser, containing ground almonds, clay and lavender. Mix paste with water and massage into the skin for a soft exfoliation to the face. 

RO'S ARGAN BODY CONDITIONER $32.50

Lush's #1 Australian selling product, contains 6 conditioning butters including Morrocan Argan Oil. Used like a hair conditioner but on your body, when rinsed off the soft rose scent lingers on your skin.

ULTRA BLAND FACIAL CLEANSER

An oil emulsion cleanser, fantastic at removing makeup. Massage into your face gently loosening makeup and then wipe off with a flannel cloth that has been soaked in warm water. Oils will remain penetrating the skin leaving it plump and softened.

BUBBLE GUM LIP SCRUB

For all you Snow Fairy Lovers, the Bubble Gum Lip Scrub has the same scent. The sugar scrub exfoliates flakey skin off your lips leaving them sweet and kissable.

DREAM CREAM

Another world wide best seller, Dream Cream containing Oat Milk, Chamomile, Rose, Tea Tree and Lavender is incredibly soothing and calming. A-OK for those of us who suffer from skin irritations like exhzma and dermatitis.

HONEY I WASHED THE KIDS SOAP

Topped with a layer of solid bees wax made by some incredibly happy bees, this iconic soap packed with creamy honey soothes dry skin.

Have you ever fallen back in love with a brand?

Burt's Bees Pop-Up Store Westfield Bondi Junction, Sydney

Yesterday I attended a very early morning ribbon cutting to open the Burt's Bees Pop-Up Store at Westfield Bondi Junction, the perks of being a Beauty Blogger right? 
Whilst we were munching on breakfast treats (I dropped my avocado on toast on the floor and very clumsily had to pick it up with a napkin feeling very un-beauty blogger and more beauty blunder. Doh!) there were some speeches filled with facts, like did you know there is an actual Burt and he is a real like bee keeper, for reals!
The open-air space is filled with a huge range of Burt's Bees products which is a change from the small stand of lip balms you usually find at department stores. I particularly liked the range of baby products - not that I am with child BUT I often see baby paraphernalia and think 'one day when I am with child that would a good thing to have'. 
There are also body products including scrubs, lotions and body butters and the Skin Care line which I am yet to try and haven't previously seen in stores.
I picked a few goodies to try out The Tinted Lip Balm in Rose $14.95 (to add to my growing collection - Hibiscus is one of my all time faves!) , Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme $19.95 and the new Sugar Scrub in Mango & Orange $29.95.
There is also a Lip Balm Amnesty promotion: From the 4th of May the first 2000 shoppers can hand in there old lip balm of any brand and swap it for a Burt's Bees Lip Balm.

Burt's Bees products are all 100% Natural and not tested on animals.

NAIL ROCK BY ZOE POCOCK

 Wahhh fan girl moment having my nails done by Nail Rock's Zoe Pocock!

I was invited to the Nail Rock Event hosted by Priceline yesterday where Zoe Pocock the creator of Nail Rock was giving manicures... how could I refuse? Nail Rock's are a lacquered sticker which seals to the nail and lasts like a polish would, and come in an amazing range of colours and designs. Zoe is in town for MBFWA (Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia) to collaborate with labels Camilla and Marc, Romance Was Born, We are Handsome & Ellery designing nails to coordinate with the collections. Whilst filing and applying my amazing Nail Rock's Zoe and I chatted she told me that the collaborations she was doing with the Australian designers will be released later in the year as collectors box sets, which is very exciting for nail addicts like me.

Zoe had a mix of new season designs and I picked the Quail Jade which is so gorgeous...slight metallic shine with navy and back marbling.

Nail Rock products are now available from Priceline www.priceline.com.au 

Now my nails are sorted for Fashion Week I just need to pick out some matching outfits!

Keep reading because there will be a Nail Rock giveaway coming up on Beauté Gazette in the next week.
