Lush Review - H'suan Wen Hua & Mint Julips

Lush H'suan Wen Hua Mint Julips Review

At age 24 I am proud to say I have finally lost my Lush virginity.

Lush Products are raved about in blogging community so I felt it was finally time to give it a whirl. I've always loved the look of the Lip Scrubs as I get really dry lips so that's what I planned to pick up... I might of tripped and fell and also ended up getting a Hair Treatment!

Hair Treatments to me, should do 3 things:

1. Make your hair look great
2. Make your hair feel great
3. And make you smell great

This treatment is quite a runny consistency, you apply it to dry hair and leave it on for 20 minutes. Once the treatment had been on for appox 20 minutes you rinse it off and then continue to wash your hair with your normal products. I coated my hair all over, tied it in a bun and left it just before my shower - I then washed my hair as normal.

Once my hair was washed I brushed it, dried it, and straightened it. I could definitely see the results immediately, my hair looked glossier, healthy and felt great.  I'm going to be honest though ... I hated the smell, I understand that Lush products are 100% natural but it just smelt like a weird mix of banana and cinnamon and it made me feel sick! Even the next day I could smell it on my hair and I really didn't like it.

Although I love how healthy my hair looked after this treatment I wouldn't repurchase purely on the smell. I think it might be worth popping into Lush again and making sure I give the products a good sniff before deciding!

Lush Lip Scrubs come in 3 'flavours' I picked up Mint Julips which is a yummy chocolatey mint smell (and taste!). It contains Caster Sugar which is excellent for really scrubbing all the dead skin of you lips and then also lots of naturals oils to refresh your lips and keep them soft.

I use mine about 2 times a week, in the evenings. I start with dry lips and just dip my finger in the pot, I then scrub at my lips back and forward and also in circular motions. I'm not gonna kid you... it hurts, but it's worth it to get a kissable pout!

To finish I wash of any excess scrub & skin (gross) and clean over with a cloth - I then apply Blistex MediPlus Lip Balm which is my absolute favourite, it's minty, cool and very very good for chapped lips!

  1. I've only ever purchased bath bombs from Lush and have loved all of them. I've been a bit weary on purchasing other products because of the smell like the hair mask one you wrote about.
    Definitely want to give the Mint Julips one a try though. In need of sorting my lips out with this horrendous weather.

    I love your blog! :)

  2. Scent is really important to me so I'm the same if a product doesn't smell nice I won't buy it. The lip scrubs are really great, my favourite is the Bubblegum :o). Xx

  10. I remember not being too keen on the smell of H'suan wen hua either, but it did work very nicely on my hair.
    Currently using the Santa lip scrub and I'm completely in love, my lips have never been better :)
