Darlings, I have to warn you to approach the new Lush store with restraint – if you’re anything like me, once you set foot inside their brand new Rosebank shop, you will be overcome with an urge to buy one of everything … just wait until I tell you about all the stunning products they sell!  

I first developed a crush on Lush when I visited their store in Cape Town. I was pretty jealous that they had a branch and we didn’t so you can imagine how happy I was when I heard that they were opening up shop in Rosebank! In fact, I was so excited that I even considered leaving my credit card behind before checking the new store out … but, really, where’s the fun in that?

Everything on Lush’s shelves is handmade, ethical and 100 per cent vegetarian … plus, they’re against animal testing (if only more brands could follow suit!). Darlings, they’ve really got it all – from shampoos and beard balms to makeup, all kinds of shower gels, soaps, scrubs and more! I have to add that their shop design and ‘naked’ packaging (70 per cent of their products are sold without packaging so that they can use the money they don't spend on packaging on ensuring amazing, great quality products) makes everything look that more appealing – nicely done, Lush. 

I tried very hard not to bankrupt myself so I only walked away with a handful of products (I’ll be back for you, oh-so-stunning red lipstick!). This is what I took home: a shampoo bar (it looks like a bar of soap but lathers just like regular shampoo would), a conditioner called ‘Veganese’, which smells so fresh … it’s vegan-friendly because it’s made without lanolin (from sheared sheep’s wool). Lastly, I bought myself a bath bomb (those fizzy, delicious-smelling bath balls?) and had a nice, long soak after work. It left my skin feeling smooth and moisturised and I felt super-relaxed when I climbed out of the tub – bliss! 

I highly recommend checking Lush out for yourselves … but don’t say I didn’t warn you when you come home with way more than you intended to buy in the first place!  

Say Hi to Lush on .
