Lush Dirty Range- A preview



Clean, Fresh, Invigorating, Sexy


NEW! Dirty is uncompromising and fresh. Its clean, herbal character stands at odds
with its name. It’s a no-nonsense fragrance that hits you with intensely crisp spearmint,
thyme and tarragon, and the subtle smell of calm seas. Dirty is an invigorating, cathartic
breath of fresh air that stirs up something primal.

Resurrected from B Never too Busy to be Beautiful, Dirty is for people who care about
their appearance but can’t be bothered with too much paraphernalia in the mornings.
They are pretty active in their lives and want something to keep them smelling good
throughout the day.

Mark: “A real wake-up call, Dirty is choc-full of uplifting notes, including the fresh herbs
thyme and tarragon. Oakmoss and sandalwood are woody, but also very clean and a
little sophisticated, too. Basically, it does the business.”

Dirty takes the common idea of ‘layering’ with beauty products a little bit further. Mark
Constantine, comments: “We’re all used to layering – different products with supposedly
the same perfume. However with Dirty, we’ve created a new fragrance concept.
Layering in the old-fashioned sense is a bit tedious; it feels like it’s all about link sales.”

Simon decided to take Dirty as a complete fragrance and break it down to its individual
components, each of which is a beautiful perfume in its entirety. Each of these
fragrances was then used in a different product in the Dirty range. “I thought that if you
really want to harmonize yourself (in scent terms), you need to extract the different parts
(of the perfume) and put them in each product you’re using (in your grooming regime).
By the time you’re finished, you’ve put the fragrance together”.

Normally, grooming products will all have a different scent. However, this new concept
of layering means you can shower in invigorating spearmint and seasalt, shave with
soothing lavender, style hair with candellia wax and coconut oil and deodorize with
antibacterial thyme. Once all of these products with their individual fragrances have
been used, the combined scent will be that of Dirty, and can be topped off with the
body spray.

The Range:


Dirty Spring Wash Shower Gel ($9.95 for 3.3oz, $17.95 for 8.4oz, $26.95 for 16.9oz)
Don’t be a dirty rotten scoundrel. Recreate your very own mountain spring and wash
with this tingly, softening, minty shower gel for the body and hair.

Shaving Cream ($12.95)
Shave it all off using our ultra-softening oats and benzoin shaving cream. There’s also
lavender and honey in there to soothe any irritations.

Hair Styling Product ($12.95)
Refresh your coif with our conditioning and softening, firm hold styling product. Made
with fair trade coconut oil, linseed gel and balm herb infusion for the perfect just-got-out-
of bed style.

Body Spray ($19.95)
If you don’t have the time for a full-on Dirty routine in the morning, take a quickie instead
and spritz yourself liberally with this body spray before you head out the door. No one
will ever know.

The Dirty range will be launching in all LUSH stores the end of May!

Lush Breath of God perfumes- A preview



POWERFUL, SPIRITUAL, MULTIFACETED, INTENSE


This fragrance develops throughout the day, continuously revealing new facets.
It's a thinking person's perfume; it makes you contemplate. The melon notes add a
transparent quality, which should be at odds with the smoky dry-down, but instead
combine to create a wonderful olfactory experience.

Simon created Breath of God after a trip to Tibet. He was eager to get into the lab on
his return, developing ideas that initially resulted in the creation of two fragrances; one
based on the smoky scents from the Tibetan temples (Exhale), and the other inspired
by the fresh clean air of the mountains (Inhale). The name was inspired by the use of
incense in religious rituals.

Main notes: Neroli, lemon, melon, jasmine, rose, vetivert,
sandalwood, cedarwood, amber, musk
Pricing: $39.95 30ml/ $15.95 9ml/ $9.95 Solid
Availability: Launching in December in LUSH shops
nationwide and online at www.lushusa.com

My favorite Lush products- A preview

Hey everyone,
Toady's post is a short description about some lovely Lush products which includes: Blue skies and fluffy white clouds bubble bar, Bubblegum Lip scrub, Gorgeous moisturizer. Was getting bored so thought of doing this post today. Take a look:

Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar


The Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar looks beautiful, smells fabulous and makes
you feel as if you’re floating in a magical place. It smells of patchouli oil which is said to
possess the wonderful ability to make you feel balanced and grounded, whilst sharpening your
wits and making your mind more objective. It is also fragranced with spicy frankincense, for its
fresh, fruity and woody aroma. Inspired by an extremely relaxing and complex song, Blue Skies
and Fluffy White Clouds relaxes, soothes and encourages light-hearted daydreams. All this,
plus bubbles!

To Use:
Crumble under running warm water as you fill the tub. The amount you need to use will vary but
this bar usually yields one or two baths. The stronger your water pressure, the more bubbles you will
make; we encourage experimentation for best results. To get the most out of your bubble bars, keep them
in a cool, dry place.

Price:
$10.95, Rs 450


Bubble Gum Lip Scrub


Bubblegum is a pink, sweet-as-candy lip scrub with a delicious bubblegum flavor. It is made
with exfoliating castor sugar and our delicious vegan fragrance to gently scrub away rough skin,
keeping your lips smooth and kissably soft.

To Use:
Apply to lips, scrub away flaky skin, and pucker up!

Price:
$8.95, Rs 600

Woww this one looks soo beautiful and tasty!! I really wanna get hold of this one...hope it happens soon!!

Gorgeous Moisturizer



Aptly named, Gorgeous utilizes all of LUSH’s expertise in creating a finely balanced and
effective formulation that delivers spectacular results. Suitable for all skin in need of
nourishment, moisture, and treatment; this beauty of a cream is light and full of wonderful
essential oils. Coconut oil retains the elasticity of skin and neroli oil regenerates cells while fruit
juices such as lemon, orange and pineapple balance, brighten and tone giving skin a soft,
matte feeling. Antioxidant rich vegetable oils including olive oil give this moisturizer a magic
ability to melt into skin and fabulously nourish it. Additionally, the finest, lightest and loveliest
organic cold-pressed natural oils of avocado, grapeseed, wheatgerm and evening primrose oil,
full of nourishing vitamins, rejuvenate skin so you will feel oh, so gorgeous!

To Use:
Put a dab on your fingertip and pat gently onto clean, slightly damp skin. A little bit goes a long
way.

Even this one looks awesome but it's really pricey so I may skip it. How about you??
