LUSH: Fresh Farmacy



Theres alot of rave on Lush's products, on how their organic, or vegan, all natural, not chemicals, good for your skin. So when there was a "_" day, where they give you a free goodie bag and if you spend x amount of money you get a free item, i went shopping. I got a whole bunch of goodies which i will review later but i got Fresh Farmacy, the lush person said that this is a really gentle cleanser and is good for sensitive skin annnnnnnddddd is suppose to calm redness is skin which was the main reason I bought it. The piece I bought was around $ 7 CAD and it was pretty huge, i cut off a small chunk for my first time used and barely dented it.

My review on this is that it is not worth it. It is a gentle cleanser and a little goes along way but it dries the hell out of my face. No moisturizer, aveeno to clinique, could get rid of the dry patches on my face. It wasn't dry 5 minutes before i washed my face but right after BAM. It has a nice smell, nice texture and got rid of all my make up but it just was too drying. The dryness led to its downfall. Repurchase? No way, i even returned this product. The girl said that maybe Aqua Marina would be better for me but i have my doubts.

Clinique Deep Comfort Moisturizer


Clinique is known for its hypoallergenic items, or at least for me. I have eczema, not too bad since i'm growing out of it but it's still not good. So I have naturally pretty dry skin, easily irradiated and rashy :(
I gotta admit the name got to me, Deep Comfort, oh how i wish i had that.
But the name and product are lies, all lies! :(
Cost : $ 26 CAD
I find that pretty splurgy for a moisturizer! To me it felt like any other moisturizer you can buy in the drugstore for less than half that price but i thought it'd do a great job and I was mistaken.
And the smell was pretty gross at first, it smelt like industrial glue and took a while to get use to.
Not much else to it, not worth the price, not worth the scent, not much moisturizing going on with this product. Repurchase : Never.
I heard the body butter is way better ... but people said this was too.
