Lush Whoosh Temple Balm

I have been well into my Lush products for over 3 years now, when I walked past a shop and the most amazing smell wafted past my nostrils and my ex said you don't know lush Melanie? (that's me) ok I'll treat you to something 5 huge slices of handmade soap and 3 bath bombs later I left a convert and that's the beginning of my love affair with the store. Not in love with my ex anymore he's long gone but my love for lush has never faltered lol My first temple balm was in a gift set. Since re-bought it! First impressions I wasn't impressed however just cos it's not in your face and stand out from the crowd don't be fooled. Of course I'm ...  Read the complete review

While I was staying in Edinburgh last year keeping Dave company whilst he was working up there I was able to do something that I can't do in Llandudno and that is to visit a Lush store! In fact I found two of them in Edinburgh and went into both of them, although I only made a purchase in one, I went into the other just for a sniff! I made my purchases in the shop in Princes Street where the members of staff were very helpful but not too pushy as they are in some Lush stores! I had a hood look round but being December there was a lot of unusual stuff in Lush, most of which either had spicy 'Christmassy' fragrances or contained glitter or other ...  Read the complete review

Do you ever have one of those Monday mornings when you come into the office after a nice relaxing weekend and the list of things to do increases by the day instead of getting shorter despite completing numerous tasks? That is generally how my Monday mornings go and by lunch time I'm feeling annoyed, tired and generally eurgh hoping the afternoon flies by and before you know it is Friday. Usually I drink a can of red bull to give me that little zap of energy that I am craving to see me through the day and then I was browsing the Lush website for something new to try as I randomly do when bored stupid on a telephone conference, when I came across the temple ...  Read the complete review

I never have really got the hang of temple balms, what do they actually do I hear myself asking?! Or am I just being sceptical? They are supposed to relax your mind and calm any ill feeling. Can a little balm in a tin actually do this? I have been yet to find out all this time I have been using Lush (yes thats right!) I have never been tempted to use on, not in the slightest. I have always quickly walked past them in a store and haven't even given them a glance let alone actually try and find out more about them! Oh how things change! My birthday last year was awash with Lush goodies from pretty much everyone I knew bought me Lush, I ended up with two of ...  Read the complete review

After the success of Dream Time Temple Balm, I was expecting a lot from the other two temple balms and couldn't wait to get my hands on them. As you will know from my Flying Fox review, it didn't quite live up to Dream Time but did still have an effect of sorts, and was slightly forgiven for not being a complete cure due to it's gorgeous scent. Well here again, Whoosh falls short of the standards Dream Time set, being that it isn't a miracle balm but it does help somewhat, and does smell quite delicious, but it is not without flaws. When you initially look at the ingredients of Whoosh it seems like there are a whole lot of great ingredients in there. When you ...  Read the complete review
