LUSH Yummy Mummy, Wash Behind Your Ears, Chocolate Lip Scrub, Oatifix and Charity Pot Review PLUS LUSH Magazine Street New Orleans (VIDEO)

Hey Everybody! Today's review is a little different! Do you like field trips? I hope so! I'm taking you today to my local LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics Store on Magazine Street, here in New Orleans, Louisiana [Not Sponsored]. PR emailed me an invitation last year (when the store opened), but I was unable to attend because I was remodeling my home. Then my mom had hip replacement surgery. So a couple of weeks ago, I stopped by on a whim (looking tore up, from the street up LOL) and the two ladies that work there Brittany & Deveney couldn't have been more kind, helpful or knowledgeable! There were  a number of products I wanted to purchase, and before I knew it Deveney had prepared a bowl of water with an assortment of LUSH products for me to try. I was tickled pink! Below are my thoughts on each product I purchased and be sure to watch my short video of the store.

LUSH Oatifix Fresh Face Mask - Supersweet

I was so enamored with LUSH's 'Feed Your Face' display (see picture below)! The bowls of assorted face masks looked SO EDIBLE! I asked the ladies there, is this for your face? LOL You're going to want all of them! They asked me what my skin type was and I told them DRY/SENSITIVE and they recommended Oatifix. I expected an Oatmeal scent, but you guys this smells like banana nut bread (it contains oatmeal, bananas, vanilla). It smells SO GOOD! And it FEELS GOOD! It's so creamy. Just apply it to your face. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes and you're good to go. It's moisturizing without feeling greasy and it exfoliates. I love it. But guess what? THIS IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN STORES (IN SHOPS ONLY)!

LUSH Chocolate Lip Scrub - Sweet

You guys may remember my review of LUSH's Bubblegum Lip Scrub. I loved it and when I heard they were coming out with a Chocolate lip scrub, I flipped. This is dark chocolate, orange & tangerine oil and vanilla. It's really nice. Just enough exfoliation to polish your lips and moisture to soften them.

Charity Pot Body Lotion - Sweet

Charity Pot is a very nice lightweight body lotion. It's ylang ylang, rosewood oil and cocoa butter. It provides lightweight moisture (at least for my dry skin), but what I really liked was how soft it made my elbows and hands feel. SO SOFT! I like it for certain areas of my body, but I still love my Archipelago Botanicals OAT MILK LOTION, Aveeno Daily Moisturizing and Farmhouse Fresh Sweet Cream lotions better for all over. I love that LUSH gives back! 'With every purchase of Charity Pot, we donate 100% of the price (minus the taxes) to small grassroots organizations working in the areas of environmental conservation, animal welfare and human rights.'

LUSH Yummy Mummy Shower Cream - Supersweet

LUSH Wash Behind Your Ears Shower Gel - Sweet

I always hear people rave about Yummy Mummy! It's not available year-round! Only around Mother's Day! So I had to try it! It smells so good! It's purple goodness! LOL It's sweet. It's fruity. It's candy to my nose! LUSH describes the ingredients as geranium and brazilian orange oil, tonka and cocoa butter. I use this at night right before I go to bed. Gotta go to bed smelling sweet! >.< Wash Behind Your Ears was new for Easter this year. I was going to order it online, but when I saw it was FLORAL I stopped. LOL I was thinking ORANGE & CARROTS! LOL But thankfully I tried it in the store. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it because I detest FLORAL anything. It is nice and the scent that's left on your skin afterwards is awesome. Yes, I was smelling my arm! Wash Behind Your Ears is jasmine, rose oil, neroli and sunflower oil. I use it in the mornings! It lifts me up!

LUSH Cosmetic Catalogue & Samples

So those are the things I purchased! I wanted everything Deveney tried on me and showed me (she included some really good samples). LOL Brittany talked about their composting program. They use the same company that Hollygrove Market and Farms (<--- remember my post) uses. I was so impressed that they use a local vendor. Dev also gave me a book that contains ALL of LUSH's products and explanations of everything! I knew LUSH had a lot of products, but I didn't realize they had THAT MANY! So this book will be very helpful with my future purchases. Get one if you stop in one of there stores. It has pictures and explanations for each product!

LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics Store, 3129 Magazine Street, New Orleans, Louisiana

I can't wait to go back to my local LUSH store on Magazine. I was very impressed. I even loved their shopping bags! HaHaHa The dark floral & bees are so pretty!
