LUSH Haul #2 : stocking up and trying new things!

Hello everyone!

     So it is time for a promised LUSH haul! If you saw my last post you know that I recently got a job at LUSH Cosmetics, so I decided that while I was in the mountains this weekend I would take a day trip to Georgia to (for the first time ever) go into a LUSH shop. 

I also hadn't made an order in a while and was running low on shampoo… 

and also wanted to pick up a few things I got to try while training.

If you want an in-depth look into a product let me know in the comments! But for now I am just briefly going to introduce each item.

I suppose I will start with the shampoos that I bought first since I already mentioned them. 

 This is the Seanik shampoo bar, and you may recognize it from my last LUSH  haul/review. 

I really liked this bar because it added volume and shine to may hair, and made it feel super soft!

Karma Komba shampoo bar is another repurchase from my last Lush post. Karma is the name of Lush's signature fragrance, and I cannot get enough of it! My hair smells amazing after I use this shampoo, and there are essential oils in this that help detangle hair which is an added bonus for me!

This is NEW! shampoo bar. I haven't used this one before… but I fell in love with the cinnamon smell the first time I got a whiff! 

This last shampoo bar is Ultimate Shine. I bought it because it has a similar kind of spicy smell like NEW! has, and because who doesn't want shiny hair?!? 

All of these shampoo bars are $11.95 and these four bars should last me around 6-8 months! 

Sticking to the subject of hair products the next thing I picked up was a conditioner.

My hair fell in love with Veganese the first time I tried it! So of course I had to get some, it smells amazing and makes my hair super soft! I got the biggest one that is 16.9 oz for $32.95

The last product for hair that I picked up is Sea Spray Hair Mist . It may sound kind of weird, but I use this instead of hairspray now.

 I have naturally curly/wavy hair so this makes my hair look super curly and be achy.  $12.95

 Moving away from hair care the next thing I got is a facial cleanser.

  I decided to go with Herbalism instead of sticking with Angles on Bare Skin. When I made my first purchase at LUSH I got a lot of mixed messages when picking out a face cleanser, some people recommended Herbalism some Angles on Bare Skin.

 So I decided, that since I was about to run out of my other cleanser, I would try out Herbalism.  $21.42

Now, I know what you are thinking… yes, I did do a post where I did a DIY lip scrub but Mint Julips  just works way better than the one I made. This lip scrub has essential oils and is made from castor sugar which is a total 180 from the one I made ….  $9.95

Then I headed over to the emotional brilliance and got some confidence (see what I did there? hehe) , I tried confident out in training and didn't expect to like it, but my coworkers kept telling me that it looked awesome on me so I decided to get one.  $18.95 

I wasn't planning on getting soap when I walked in because I wasn't running low, but as soon as I saw that they still had Demon in the Dark I had to get some! I got a quarter of a pound, but after I left I wish I had gotten more … oh well maybe if enough people miss it LUSH will bring it back!  $9.40

The last thing I got while I was there was Karma solid perfume. I love this scent and the solid perfumes are awesome to take on the go! $10.95

I hope you all enjoyed this haul!

 If you want to know about any of these products in more detail let me know in the comments! 

Or if there are any products from LUSH that you want a review on let me know!

Until next post,

Ashton

My New Job!

Hi everyone!

It has been a long time since I have had time to sit and plan out/put together posts for you all! I have felt sort of weird the past couple of weeks because I haven't been blogging … but if you have seen my last post then you know I have also been super busy.

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you have probably seen a picture that I posted about where my new job that I told you all about is at ….

Yup, I work at LUSH Cosmetics now! It is so exciting!! A couple of weeks after I put up my first ever LUSH review I found out that a shop was opening 45 minutes away from where I live. Needless to say I applied very quickly after they announced that they were hiring … 

Our shop has not opened yet, but I did complete training last week 

(it was super fun! and I learned a TON of stuff). 

I hope you all are looking forward to a haul soon! If there are any questions or anything you may have about a product or the company I would be super happy to answer them for you in the comments, or you can email me or tweet me, you could even Instagram a picture of a product and tag me in it, you can also add me on Facebook and send me a message! I will reply as soon as I can! :) 

I will be putting up 'regular' posts on a more routine basis soon!!

Updates!

Hi everyone!

You may have noticed that I haven't posted in two weeks now! Don't worry I have lots of things planned! :)    And I don't want to make excuses, but we all know what is going to happen when we hear someone say that. …

If you follow me on Twitter (@PhotoBeautyBlog) then you may have seen a tweet about me getting a new job! I haven't announced yet where it is that I am working, but I might very soon! because it is super exciting.  So the past couple of weeks I have been preoccupied thinking about that as well as school on top of it all.

Now I know what you are thinking, lots of bloggers juggle blogging, school, and work. I will applaud those who do! because I know how much work we all have between those three areas of our life. But its a little more stressful at my college. Instead of doing semesters like a normal college I have 11 week quarters, so the workload is the same (if not more) and we have 9 weeks less to get it all done.  In the world of photography it's a lot to get done especially when editing just a few pictures can become days of editing!

Hopefully soon I will be back to posting more often like I was, but in the mean time I am working on a couple of posts that will be going up soon! I promise.

 Let me know in the comments what kinds of things you want to see in the future or if there are any tags going around that you would like to see me do!!

Thanks for being patient!!!

Ashton
