~ Lush No Drought Dry Shampoo ~

I do have some serious inclination towards Lush for whatever reasons and when i was crazy hunting for dry shampoo, it was my Savior.

~ Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics No Drought ~


What it claims and How to use ~
 
Whether you're with friends at a festival or stuck comb alone - for a quick freshness boost, no wash; just go!

Puff directly into the hair or onto your hands and work through. Then a quick brush out to make sure you get any loose excess powder away - you'll be left fresh, fragrant and non - greasy.

Ingredients ~ Cornflour ( Zea mays), Magnesium Carbonate, Talc, Perfume, Grapefruit Oil (Citrus paradisi), Lime Oil (Citrus aurantifolia), *Citral, *Geraniol, *Limonene, *Linalool
*Occurs naturally in essential oils
Suitable for VEGANS

Price ~ 760 INR
Net Weight  ~ 100 g

My Experience ~
  • 'Puff directly into the hair' is out of question. This dry shampoo comes in a bottle which normally is used for Shampoos or Shower Gels or Lotions, so when you try to puff, the bottle dispenses insanely large amount and its hard to spread. So best bet is to take it into hands and work through.
  • It does a very good job of sucking up the oil/greasiness from hair but at same time leaves a sort of whitish overcast on my dark colored hair. This unfortunately makes my hair look dull and lifeless. 
  • Should be great for someone with blonde hair color or say even grey hair(no offense) but someone with dark colored hair should steer clear.
  • If that was less, i can find powder marks on my clothes after i use. So i always put on a robe or towel around so i don't mess up my clothes.
  • The Best thing  about this Dry shampoo is the fresh citrus scent it leaves in the hair and the quick way it sucks up the oil.
What i Like ~
  • Citrus Scent 
  • Quick way greasy hair turns fresh
What i don't Like
  • Bottle Dispenser
  • Whitish overcast on my hair
Would i re-purchase this again? I don't think so!!  

Note to Self ~
Try transferring the contents into a bottle, like a talc dispenser which would dispense rather less amount of powder making it easy to work with. 

Not sure if the amount reduction would help in anyway, yet; before i toss it off i would like to give a last chance to it... after all 760 INR do matter!!

Will keep you updated on that one, but instead of powder i would prefer an aerosol one like the Dry Shampoo from label.m, London i bought recently from 365Gorgeous.
Still trying out this one, will do the review soon!!!

Do you use Dry shampoos? Whats your fave one???

Lush ~ Lemony Flutter

I heard so much, read so many reviews about Lush products, that i was so very keen on trying some myself. Well then i wasn't sure which ones to try but was sure on buying Lemony flutter.
I always love everything lemony... Lemon color curtains, bedspreads, lemon drenched cake, lemonades, lemon infused car perfumes, room freshners and well practically everything lemony. Then why not a lemony butter for the cuticles and dry patches of hands and feet??
Being lemony was enough for me to try this Lush product. So i ordered online. Though the products are available at some of the well known malls of the city(only Inorbit Mall in Hyderabad), i opted for online shopping as it was much easy to do than travel all the way to the end of the city to visit the mall where they had a store!! Hope Lush would be available through out city soon... fingers crossed!!
And so this lovely butter tub ended up at my place....
I couldn't wait to try that day... so immediately checked it out!!
Aahh.... that lemony smell was so heavenly, though i should mention its strong for my liking too but the butter is really sort of butter. Fresh, hand-made, rich, buttery, lemony with some other strong scent notes. Not that it really has any scent though *.*

What is Lemony Flutter?
Its a Cuticle Butter that repairs dry cuticles and Lush says we don't have to stop there! We can Flutter some butter over heels, elbows and toes too. *.*

Well someone whose against parabens may find this un-useful again..

And for a product for cuticles, it does an awesome job. I am constantly making something in kitchen or doing some household chores(though many are done by my maid) i find myself washing my hands often and no cream helps the dry cuticles. And you got to trust me, this worked wonders. And again i only applied at night for last few days...



I didn't need much and i guess at times like this where the cuticles are in need of a constant care, spending 630 INR for 50gm tub is okay by me.

And get a fresh face mask free on returning 5 Lush pots?? I am yet to confirm that offer yet *.*
And besides i am sure its gonna take a while for me to finish this one tub, another 4 more is definitely gonna take lots of time....


Apart from this i bought 'Million Kisses' , a beautiful raspberry pink tinted lip balm and a Dry Shampoo 'No Drought'. More on those two later...........

Till then....
