A New Face

I've been asked to do some reviews on the lush products that i have been using. I felt it was a good place to start was the products that i am using everyday, starting with my face.
As you know Isa and myself made a trip to the Lush that is near us. We had an amazing time and were served one on one resulting in a new face routine for me. I will admit i am known for not taking good care of my skin and face but i really want to and my goal is to have nice skin that i wont have to wear foundation anymore and being able to feel comfortable and pretty in my own skin not covered up.
It was suggested that i use Lush's Fresh Farmacy, Tea Tree Water and Vanishing Cream.




I'm going to start with Fresh Farmacy which i will say i am in love with and will be making this my life long face wash!
"Farmaceutical assistance for sensitive faces. Wash with this mild calamine and lavender bar to calm troubled skin" Lush times. Key word "troubled skin" as said in the Lush Times, yup that's me. I was reading reviews online about this and the most negative comments i could find all complained about the smell. Which i agree was different for me, its not your typical tingle your face off with overly scented chemicals from the drugstore i'm shamefully used to. 
You can strongly smell the calamine and lavender but i personally love those two smells. Calamine reminds me of summer time as a child and having bug bites and lavender reminds me a great deal of my big sister. 
I felt that the cleanser being in a solid form was neat, i felt i wasnt wasting it or using to much.
Ive only been using this for a week( twice daily) and i am already seeing an amazing difference, the first couple days i started to see the redness go down but along with it came itty bitty tiny pimples but not the type i had ever seen but i pushed through it and kept washing. Long and behold... TADA! no more tiny pimples i feel that using this cleanser resulting in cleaning my face so well was pushing out all that yucky stuff (tiny pimples) leaving my face that extreme clean from a very gentle, creamy soap! now this cleanser does leave my face very dry which means the next two products, the tea tree water well smells like tea tree (simple enough right?) so that just gets sprayed on my face before i apply the vanishing cream. And well im addicted, this cream is perfect for my face, i have dry patches and oily patches so i have always found it hard to a moisturizer that helped both and didnt work against each other.
"Our lightest moisturizer absorbs quickly and promotes clear skin with witch hazel and lavender." - Lush Times.
And it does what it says it does, the smell is not overbearing on my face which i love but i do like that it is barely there that i know its on and working away. I feel this moisturizer plays a big role in my face feeling amazing. After i let it soak in my face smells and feels amazing and so very soft! 
I would not trade this routine for anything right now, i will say that i do want to try Lush's Coal face and sub it in on days that i know i have been really hard on my face.
But i am slowly becoming more in love with my skin due too Lush! so thank you! My heart is happy!
