5 Lush Products That Will Change Your Beauty Routine
A lot of people struggle to find the perfect product when it comes to beauty, no matter their age, gender or ethnicity. This is because every skin has a different and unique texture and colour. Additionally, all of us experience different kinds of problems: some teenagers might have issues with acne, some others with spots, while adults may have scars they want to take care of. The cosmetics retailer Lush, however, has a huge range of products to help even the most challenging skin in getting better. Also, Lush contributes to sustainability of the society and the planet by using natural ingredients and recycling their pots and bottles, as well as selling 'naked' products, aka package-free.

Most of us know the stresses of a busy life, whether you are a buzzing business professional or a stay-at-home mother.

Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder
Cassie was a bright seventeen-year-old who not once has dated a boy, worn makeup or smoked cigarettes. Her lips have never tasted the sweetness of alcohol, as she was voted in high school the most likely to succeed. She had a very bright future in front of her. She never had a real good relationship with her mother but admired the way she carried herself and the image she portrayed. She was a very beautiful woman.

Testing Milk Makeup
Let me start by saying, I am not someone who enjoys spending my money. My main weakness is clothes, but nothing I have is worth over £20 and I buy most secondhand or on sale. If I’m taking a long train journey, I use sites to split my ticket and make it cheaper. I nab discount codes off all my uni friends for anything I can, and if my boyfriend and I are getting a takeaway we halve the portions. It’s 2018, there’s no time to be careless with your earnings, am I right? So the thought of buying one item of makeup, something that will last a few months at most, for £20+ terrifies me. And yet here I am, writing a review on a brand that sells foundation for $42 (around £32) and four eyeshadows for $36 (£28).

How to Cure Dry Skin Overnight
The worst way to wake up in the morning is with dry, flaky, irritated skin. If you have ever experienced this, then you know how much it could affect your day. The cause of it can be anything from dry air to specific skin conditions. No matter what the cause, you want fast relief. Unfortunately, it is not as easy as washing your face every night or taking showers or baths. In fact, depending on the dryness of your skin, you might have to result to using a hydrating serum, a moisturizer, and a face oil all to add moisture to your skin.

Should You Brush Your Hair?
I used to be completely brush obsessed when I was younger because my hair reached my knees and the tangles were impossible. The state of my hair didn’t concern me back then because I just braided it and went on with my life. Now however, it’s all different. First, I like to be low maintenance while looking like I put in work, and second, I now have shorter hair that reaches just past my shoulders. Though everyone could benefit from this post you’re about to read, I do want to point out that if you have crazy long hair, you will want to brush it in some way unless you like surprise dreadlocks.

Dream Skincare
I have always struggled with dry skin. I’m from an island originally, and grew up just an hour or so away from the sea. My living environment was always humid, so when I first moved to Alberta, my skin acted out so much that it was painful. For a long time I looked for solutions, I must have tried every lotion in the drugstores, but none seemed to do the trick. It was one thing or another, either the smell was wrong, the consistency, too greasy, too liquid, some would just plain not work!

Do You Need a Skin Routine?
Do you really need a skin care routine? Does it really work and is it worth it? If you've read my story on "do you need rose water?" you got a glimpse into my skin care problems. I have very sensitive skin. I'm allergic to a lot of soap products, and have very mild to severe reactions when I use face masks, lotions, face wash, and even products that have been prescribed to me by a doctor. I even have huge reactions to something that is in our water (usually after each shower I take, I come out with burned skin and have awful rashes all over my body).
