Lush Curly Wurly Review

I am loving Lush products at the moment and have been trying a variety of their products recently. One product I have enjoyed using in Curly Wurly. As I have curly hair I decided this may be a good product for me.

What The Products Look Like




What Lush Says

To control thick, curly hair:makes it soft and shiny and smooth. Deeply moisturising,emollient shampoo with 15% coconut for condition.

Ingredients

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Desiccated Coconut, Cetearyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Water, Fresh Organic Lemon Juice, Glyceryl Stearate & PEG-100 Stearate, Perfume, Linseed Infusion, Fresh Papaya, Lauryl Betaine, Fresh Free Range Eggs, Cocoa Butter, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Organic Jojoba Oil, Avocado Butter, Vanilla Absolute, Vetivert Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Alkanet Extract, Lanolin, Cetrimonium Bromide, *Coumarin

Avocado Butter: Thius is very nourishing and is great for dry unruly hair

Fresh Organic Lemon Juice: This is used to keep the jhair shiny and tone the scalp.

Fresh Free Range Eggs: This is used to condition the hair 

My Thoughts

First thing about this product is the texture of this product. It is very thick and contains bits of coonut. This product is surpose to be used as a shampoo but I don't  use it as a shampoo. I apply this to my hair with conditioner. Sice using this my hair has felt so much softer and it leaves my hair smelling great. It leaves a scent in your hair for days after which is amazing. The one down side is that it takes a while to wash out the hair and can leave the shower in a mess but it is worth it.

Lots of Love

Haircare Routine

My hair is one thing i kept complemented on quite often. I love my hair and don't want to change it at all. At the moment my hair is dyed Red which I am loving. I have found that red suits me really well and have had people think i am a redhead or told me that the colour suits me. The colour my hair is dyed at the moment is Vibrant red

Brief Description of My Hair

My hair is very long and very curly. My curls are generally ringlets, it can be very dry and frizzy at times. My hair is also prone to knots but it doesn't get really greasy often which I love. My hair isn't to damaged as i don't use hot tools often but I have been dying it for half a year which isn't great for your hair.

What I use

I don't like to use a lot of products on my hair as it tends to weigh down my hair and then ringlets don't form and my hair will look limp and lifeless. Generally the only products I use are shampoo and conditioner, sometimes i will use a curl tamer and hairspray if i style my hair which i don't do often.


The shampoo I am using at the moment is Bed Head Foxy curls. This is a sulphate free shampoo which is better for your hair than shampoos containing sulphates


I also like to use Lush Curly Wurly


Run out of condtioner so need to find a new one


What I do to my hair 

I like to wash my hair every 3 days this is because washing your hair everyday strips your hair of it's natural oils which you don't want to do. This can also cause your hair to become more greasy as you will begin to produce more oil. I am pretty lucky that my hair doent get greasy often so I can get away with not washing my hair for a few days.

When I wash my hair I wish apply the shampoo to my scalp and run it through all my hair and massaging it in. I will then rinse this out.I will then apply Lush Curly Wurly to the bottom 2 thirds of my hair. I will also apply my conditioner to the bottom 2 thirds. I will then comb this through my hair after 5 to 10 minutes. I will then rinse this out my hair. I then allow my hair to air dry as this is the best way for your hair to dry, I never use a hairdryer as it damages your hair and generally leaves my hair feeling really dry and frizzy, never a good look

What is your hair care routine? What products do you like or use?

Lots of Love

My lush collection

This is my lush collection at the present time
I have been a fan of lush for years since my mum loved the bath bombs and bubble bars and when ever I went shopping with her in Lakeside and going round the shop and picking one bath bomb for my self.  I remember always picking Think Pink mainly for the colour. Since then I have loved trying the different bath bombs and bubble bars lush has came out with. Only recently I have started to venture into the other products they do. These are the ones I have at the moment a mix of hair body and face products

Rock Star Soap (£5.07 for 0.156kg chunk)

This soap has been a favourite of mine for years. It is a lovely pink creamy soap with a very girly sweet smell. This is definatley one of my most repurchased lush products

Angel Delight Soap (Unknown Price came in a set)

This is another sweet smelling soap reminds me of jelly bean sweets, This is the soap that I am currently using. I love the smell of this soap and also it has gold glitter on it which sometimes ends up left on your hands.


Snow Fairy Shower Gel (Unknown Price came in a set)

This is the only shower gel of lush's that I have ever used,. This is a very popular product made by lush like the two previous products it is pink and girly sweet smell. I havent used thia product in  a few years

Whoosh Shower Jelly( £3.50 for 100g)

At the moment I have been loving citrus smells which lead me to this product. This is a fresh citrus smelling product. The product it self is easy to use and lather really well. You only need a small amount of product for your whole body.

Shimmy Shimmy Massage Bar ( £4.00 a bar)

This massage bar has quite a soft kind of powdery smell. it it very glittery and melts at body temperature. I havent used this product yet so havent got much to say about this product

Sweet Lips Lip Scrub (£4.95 for 25g)

This is great for dry winter lips. Just apply this whenever you feel the need to a scrub away the dead skin. It has an amazing choclate smell and also tastes great.

Curly Wurly Conditioning Shampoo ( £9.50 for 220g)

I was drawn to this product because of the the name. I have curly hair that has a mind of its own. This product is a very thick shampoo with tonnes of coconut pieces in it which is a litle strange for a shmpoo. The coconut does take a little longer to get out but it does smell great if you love cocnut. Ive only used this once so can't really review this just yet


Eau Roma Water ( £7.00 for 250g)


This is so refreshing when sprayed on the face. It makes the skin fell soft and clean. It also has a light scent and isnt overpowering. A great toner

Cupcake Face Mask (£5.75 for 75g)

This is a mud mask that smells of choclate. Once applied to the skin the mask hardens . This leaves my skin feeling super moisturised and and had all the dirt removed. I would buy this again once I run out.

Ocean Salt ( £6.75 for 120g)

This face scrub reminds me of the ocean . It smells like being on holiday to me. Ive been using this for a weak in combination with the other skin priducts and the bumps I usually get on my nose have completely disapppeared and my skin feels so soft.

Enzymion ( £13.50 for 45g)

This moisturiser is a lovely fruity smelling product. It leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated . I am loving this product



Full reviews of the products will up when I have used them over a longer period of time.


Lots of Love
