Lush Aqua Marina Cleansing Roll

Lush - Aqua marina Fresh cleanserThis is another product that I got to try and was given a really generous sample to take home when I was lucky enough to attend a Lush event where we made our own fresh face mask and then we were treated to a free facial in the store. This gave us the opportunity to try products that we hadn’t tried before and use them in the correct way. I usually choose Lush products for ancient dry and lined skin as I am getting to that stage but I thought that I would take the chance of trying some different products and so instead of my usual ‘”Angels on Bare Skin” fresh ... more

Lush - just follow your nose I'm sure that for most of you Lush needs no introduction. For anyone who has not visited a High Street in recent years, it's the shop with the black and yellow sign, selling soaps and other smellies which your nostrils will detect from a block away. I know that Lush has a massive army of devoted fans, and there are many things about this company that I really like. Minimum packaging. No animal testing. Ingredients from natural sources. Great stuff so far. I wish more of the big manufacturers of cosmetics and beauty products would follow where Lush lead. But I have ... more

“Yuck, you smell”, said my ‘lovely’ husband to me recently. Love you too I thought as I rearranged the pins in the little effigy I’d made of him. He continued sniffing around me and encouraged the kids to do the same. Luckily my daughter (11, very sensible – not like her dad) told me it might be something on my face that smelled and not me in general. My son by this time had run away and was making retching noises. The only new product I had used recently was from Lush and my family’s reaction to it has finally convinced me never, ever to use it again. Aqua Marina is a cleanser, which claims ... more

My first reaction when I find a new product I love is : 'Does the world know about this? Someone should tell everyone!' I sort of felt this way after using Aqua Marina for the first time, and was really intrigued to read other people's verdicts on it. It had provoked a bit of a mixed reaction, and that is why I decided to have my say. I've been using Angels on Bare Skin - another Lush cleanser - for a while now, I have my Lush Guru to thank for that, but decided to live a little and try something new. - Lush is a 10-year-old company based in Dorset but with shops all over the world, which ... more

This review could be really, really short. I could simply say 'Unless you want to smell like a dead rotting fish, don't buy this product'. However, that wouldn't make a good review, and definitely wouldn't make for good reading. So I'll let you know everything I know about this product, and let you decide for yourself! I've been ordering from Lush quite a lot recently and seeing as I have tried nearly every item from their online store (ok, maybe not, but you know what I mean!), I decided to try something different. I had seen the Aqua Marina cleansing roll before and usually scrolled right ... more
