Lush: Vitamin E Toner Tab

Lush says:

“The Vitamin E Toner Tab is an excellent, effervescent way to keep everyone’s skin balanced and lovely. It has lavender essential oil to help your skin stay smoothly on course - not too dry, not too oily. Its omega-3 oil and vitamin E come from nutritious algae to revive tired faces.”

To use, you place a toner tab in a bowl of hot (not boiling – you don’t want to burn yourself) water, place your face in the steam with a towel over your head and let the Vitamin E goodness soak into your skin.

Toner Tabs are a great idea in theory but I just found I didn’t have the patience to sit and enjoy the experience. I really enjoyed the lavender scent however I didn’t feel much of the benefits of the toner soaking into my skin – I think ill just stick to conventional toner next time.  

Lush Haul

I haven’t had much time to relax lately, moving up the ladder at work means more responsibility and a larger work load. To treat myself and as a reminder to take time for R&R, I headed into my local Lush store to pick up some bath goodies.

Lush cosmetics are fresh, handmade cosmetics made from organic ingredients and essential oils with little or no preservatives and in most cases are vegan too. They have an amazing range of cosmetics that I’m always intrigued to try (such as there solid shampoo and conditioner bars) and their products have amazing scents that you either love (or hate) – my favourite scents are floral and citrus.   

I purchased two of their Bath Ballistics which I’m a huge fan of. When placed in a warm bath the ballistic will begin to fizz and dissolve leaving your bath water colourful, scented and full of essential oils that leave your skin smooth.

Sex Bomb Bath Ballistic $6.75(AUD)

Lush says: If this isn’t the sexiest bath you’ve ever had (by yourself) we’ll eat our hats.

Excuse this photo, the camera really picked up a green hue.

Dragon’s Egg Bath Ballistic $5.95(AUD)

Lush says: Bath tub fireworks. Fizz, froth, fruity fragrance – what more could you ask for?

I also purchased a bubble bar, which is basically solid bubble bath. I have tried one of these before and I found the bubbles really strong and long lasting. One bar (depending on the size) can last maybe 5-6 baths as you break it into pieces and crumble under your running tap water.

Dorothy Bubble Bar $5.95(AUD)

Lush says: At the end of this rainbow there’s a sky blue bath scented with ylang ylang and orange blossom.

My last purchase was some toner tabs to sample. I have not tried these before but I love the idea. To use, place a tab into a bowel of steaming water and place your face into the steam (not too hot or you will burn) and cover with a towel. Allow the steam to open your pores and soak in the toner goodness – I will let you know what I think once I try them out.

Vitamin E Toner Tabs $1.95(AUD)

Lush says: Excellent, effervescing toner tab with balancing lavender & anti-oxidant vitamin E. Rejuvenating for older skin.  

A little on the pricey side, Lush (to me) are indulgent products which are great as a special treat or for a unique gift. Have you tired Lush? If so, what are your favourite products?
