Our Core Beliefs

We believe in making effective products from fresh, organic* fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics.

We invent our own products and fragrances. We make them fresh by hand using little or no preservative or packaging, using only vegetarian ingredients, and tell you when they were made.

We believe in buying ingredients only from companies that do not commission tests on animals and in testing our products on humans.

We believe in happy people making happy soap, putting our faces on our products and making our mums proud.

We believe in long candlelit baths, sharing showers, massage, filling the world with perfume and in the right to make mistakes, lose everything and start again.

We believe our products are good value, that we should make a profit and that the customer is always right.

* We also believe words like fresh and organic have honest meaning beyond marketing.

Here are a couple of my favorite items from Lush!!!

1. Golden Slumbers :  Remember how it felt to sleep like a baby? Neither did we before trying Golden Slumbers; now there’s a way to get back home, to sleep that is. Stress melts away in waves of lavender sprigs, lavender oil and lavender absolute. Trying to keep your eyes open after a Golden Slumbers bath is a feat; you’re better just to give in and go off to bed. Retail: $ 6.35

 2.    Karma Bath Melts:  Our Karma fragrance makes its appearance in a golden pyramid of sparkles. It’s a wonderfully moisturizing bath that glimmers and shines, and gives off the gorgeous fragrance of patchouli, lemongrass and orange oil that we all love. It will leave your skin smelling sexy, with a hint of glitter reflecting off you in the sunlight. This pyramid is one of the wonders of the world! Retail: $ 6.95

3.   Turbo Babble: If you can’t tell by the picture, Turbo Bubble is an extremely sparkly bar. So if you want to relax in a shoal of sparkles, crumble one (or half of one – it’s big enough for two luxurious baths) under running water and revel in glittering foam mountains. Each bar is scented with jasmine absolute, ylang ylang and vetivert oils to ease your stress and leave a sexy scent to linger on your body. If you love the fragrance of our long lost Fairy Jasmine bath bomb, you’ll love Turbo Bubble bar. Retail $6.95

 Blondes Have More Fun In The Sun…. But Beware, The Summer Sun Isn’t Fun For Those That Are Fair !

We all ather on sunscreen to protect our skin when we’re out basking in the sun over summer but did you know without proper protection for your hair, you’re at risk of sun damage as well? Just like fair skin, blondes are at higher risk of major hair sun damage if they don’t take extra precaution.

Blonde hair tends to become dull, dry and lose vibrancy quickly from exposure to harsh elements such as sun or salt water,” says Erick Orellana, colorist and “blonde expert” at Privé Salon Los Angeles.  “Fortunately I’ve discovered many simple and easy steps one can take to help prevent damage during the intense summer months.”

• SPRAY, SHINE AND PROTECT: Look for a Spray with UV filters and protectants to prevent moisture loss and color fading caused from sun rays, like Privé’s Flash Brilliance, which protects hair from UV damage. Make sure to apply all over before hitting the sun to give your hair full strength protection from the rays.

•  MASTER TIP BEFORE YOU DIP: Swimming in chlorinated water is a big concern for blondes as the water has the tendency to turn blonde locks into shades of green.  Add extra protection to your hair before taking a dip by mixing a combination of water with a leave-in conditioner like Privé’s Leave-in Treatment.  Mix in a small spritzer bottle you can tote in your beach bag and spray on hair while lounging poolside to minimize the absorption of damaging chemicals in chlorinated water. 

• HOME CARE: Even after taking steps to prevent damage and protect hair an at-home treatment like a mask or oil treatment is a must for blondes to help restore hair.  Privé’s Intensive Mask works wonders and is easy to use in the comfort of your own home.  Apply all over hair and leave on anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour before shampooing. This will repair your hair, replenish moisture and add shine to beautiful blonde locks.

•  GLOSS IT UP: A gloss treatment post highlights or coloring session will seal in color and tone by creating a protective layer over the hair adding moisture and shine.  Adding moisture to blonde hair in the summer is important to keep it from drying in the sun and heat which ultimately makes hair look dull and straw-like.
