Lush 'Sugar Daddy-O' Conditioner Bar

Lush ‘Sugar Daddy-O’ Conditioner Bar Review

Earlier on this week, I did a review on the Lush ‘Honey I Washed My Hair’ shampoo bar and today I wanted to follow-up on that with a review of the Lush conditioner bar that I’m using too.

A few weeks ago, I shared a video on my Facebook page about the environment effects of plastic waste and how we can reduce our plastic waste by using shampoo and conditioner bars instead of bottles. After seeing the sheer amount of plastic that we have accumulated in land fills, I think that the least that we can do is to make positive changes to the environment by reducing our plastic waste.

About Lush

(Do I really need to write this at this point? Haha)

Lush are an all-round ethical cosmetics company that are committed to being cruelty-free, vegan and sustainable as possible. Their products are all handmade, smell amazing, and have a cool sticker at the bottom of their boxed products to tell you who and when the products were made. With over 100 stores across the U.K, Lush is easily one of the most prominent organic beauty brands.

Lush ‘Sugar Daddy-O’ Conditioner Bar 💜

The eco-friendly Lush ‘Sugar Daddy-O’ Conditioner Bar is made using luscious linseed infusion, argan oil, cocoa butter, shea butter and olive oil to nourish. A floral bouquet of violet leaf absolute, rose and bergamot creates intoxicating fragrance that will last on hair all day. Work the bar between the hands before applying a small amount into wet hair; a little goes a long way.

I bought the ‘Sugar Daddy-O’ Conditioner Bar for £6.75, the bar is approx. 45ml, which may seem a little expensive for people but based on other online reviews the bar lasts for about 180 washes (6-8 weeks for some). And to top it off, this particular product is vegan! ☺

Review

As soon as I saw the conditioner bar in store, I had to buy it. I loved the fact that it has ‘Hair Conditioner’ embossed on top, and of course because of the lovely smell of the shea butter and cocoa butter.

Before using the conditioner, I tested out the Lush ‘Honey I Washed My Hair’ Shampoo Bar, and then conditioned my hair. The conditioner bar took a little while to lather, but once it did, it had a thick and smooth consistency – just like any other conditioner. And again, like the other conditioners that I use, it took roughly 5 minutes to thoroughly rinse my hair.

After drying my hair, it had a sleek and smooth shine to it. Normally, I get this kind of healthy shine in my hair when I’ve soaked oil on my hair and washed it, but since using the conditioner I haven’t been using any other hair oil because I didn’t feel the need to. The conditioner is nourishing, and left a soft fragrant smell of the cocoa butter.

Since using the Lush conditioner and shampoo bars my hair feels smoother and healthier, in fact I’ve got quite a few compliments on the condition of my hair. It’s also important to mention that I’ve experienced less hair fall than I normally do. Like the description says, a little really does go a long way; on days that I’ve used the minimal amount of conditioner, my hair still looks conditioned.

The Lush ‘Sugar Daddy-O’ Conditioner Bar is all round economical, eco-friendly and smells amazing. ✨

I’ll be honest, this video prompted me to try the Lush shampoo and conditioner bars and try to reduce my plastic waste wherever possible.

Are Lush cruelty free?

Lush ‘Honey I Washed My Hair’ Shampoo Bar 🍯

The eco-friendly Lush ‘Honey I Washed My Hair’ Shampoo Bar is made with moisterising honey to keep the hair soft and for its natural antiseptic properties. To top it all off the uplifting sweet wild orange and bergamot oils create a gentle aroma.

I bought the ‘Honey I Washed My Hair’ Shampoo Bar for £6.50, the bar is approx. 55ml,which may seem a little expensive for people but based off of other online reviews the bar lasts for about 180 washes (6-8 weeks for some people).

Review

The first thing that I noticed about the shampoo bar was that it smelt of honey, and I’ll admit that I was kind of taken back by how small it actually was when I bought it in store.

Once I got home, I tested it out immediately. Surprisingly, the shampoo bar lathered so quickly, it generally felt like I was washing my hair with a honey and milk blend. The aroma of the shampoo was pretty soothing, and it took me 5 minutes to rinse my hair (roughly the same amount of time that it would with any other shampoo).

After drying my hair, I could still smell the shampoo in my hair. I found that the shampoo bar nourished my hair and since using the shampoo I’ve experienced less hair fall than normal. Before, my hair would fall out like a dog during malting season (I wish I was exaggerating), but thankfully the Lush shampoo and conditioner bars have done wonders for my hair.

One little thing that I would have to complain about, is that I wish the shape and overall look of the shampoo bar itself was a little bit more quirky and fun like their bath bombs. Though, I do love the naked packaging concept that Lush have. The Lush ‘Honey I Washed My Hair’ Shampoo Bar is all round economical, eco-friendly and smells amazing. ✨

P.S: I normally don’t use shampoo on its own, I always condition my hair, so to see the full effects of the shampoo and conditioner bars combined, you have to check out my next review. 😉

Friction Free Shaving Review

Today I wanted to share a game changing gift set with you all, just in time for the summer, the Friction Free Shaving – Gift Set. If you’re anything like me and you have sensitive skin and just generally dread the thought of going through the gruelling pain of getting waxed, then this little kit will save you on both the pain and money.

Who are Friction Free Shaving?

Friction Free Shaving is the first razor delivery service designed exclusively for women. Friction Free Shaving are on a mission to make it cleaner, easier and cheaper for you to shave your legs, underarms and any other areas. All you need to do is sign up and you’ll receive the handle and fresh blades every month.

FFS – Gift Set

With Friction Free Shaving, you get your choice of Shaviour (the razor handle) and free engraving of your choice. First of all you need to use Pre Shave Scrub, a gentle and all natural exfoliate made using the husk of walnuts. After using the scrub, apply the have Cream which is packed with moisturising Manuka honey, Shea butter and coconut oil. And finally, after getting out of the shower you simply need to apply the Post Shave Balm, which provides deep hydration to soothe and condition your skin. The gift set includes four German-engineered razor refills, each with 6 diamond-coated steel blades, styling bikini blade, shower hook and blade cover.

One of the main reasons for the disposable blades was mainly due to hygiene; when we continue to use the same blade over and over our skin becomes more at risk of getting infected, pigmented and developing abscesses. Changing our blades weekly is recommended by skin experts to prevent any damage that could happen from using blunt blades.

Review

Shaviour

I am loving the rose gold razor and the ergonomic design. The razor head moves according to the shape of your legs and the direction that its going in which makes it all the more easy to use that your average disposable razors. The blades itself are not too sharp.

Pre – Shave Scrub

This scrub has a thick consistency and you can smell of the manuka honey. It works well at prepping the skin by exfoliating and smoothing the skin and hairs without hurting the skin, which is great because I have sensitive skin. The exfoliating process is pretty straightforward, and worked well at softening the hairs.

Shaving Cream

The shaving cream completely smoothed out the skin, and honestly I was amazed by the fact that my skin didn’t sting once. The smoothness of the shave was unbelievable, I didn’t experience any cuts and redness at all, and after a while I noticed that I didn’t get any bumps on my legs.

Post – Shave Balm

Once I got out of the shower and dried myself down, I noticed just how smooth my legs were and after adding the balm on the skin, my skin become so soft and nourished. It genuinely did not feel like I had shaved my legs, it felt more like I had just got my legs waxed (minus the pain and redness).

Overall, I feel that the process is relatively simple and easy to follow – my legs are so smooth and I’m not getting any bumps on my skin (yay). It makes great sense in terms of hygiene, and for someone with sensitive skin – it works wonders. And I’ve got to appreciate their sassy style.

I hope you all enjoyed my Friction Free Shaving review, I’d like to thank RebKan PR and the FFS team for sending me this awesome gift set.

Review

When I started using the body wash, I noticed that it smells almost the same as the Hempz Original Herbal Body Moisturiser, as of course, they’re from the same range. The smell was quite sweet and soothing at the same time, especially when the body wash began to lather. After rinsing off the lather and getting out of the shower, my skin felt refreshed and nourished. As with the moisteriser, the banana scent really adds to the refreshing feel of the body wash – which is perfect to use in the heat.

Review

At first, I could smell the sweet banana blend in the moisturiser, I couldn’t really smell the natural hemp oil, but can definitely feel the nourishing effects of it skin. The moisturiser is lightweight and easy to blend in to my skin, it generally keeps my hands, body and legs smooth and soft. I’ve also been using this as a face cream and I am loving how smooth, yet kind of firm, my skin is after using the cream. One thing that I do appreciate about this moisturiser is that it keeps my skin soft and firm throughout the day without needing to reapply it.
