LUSH!


I recently discovered LUSH Cosmetics, of which I had never heard until venturing into a store in Gangnam (Did I mention I love it there???)

Not to get off track, but Gangnam has the ninth most expensive shopping street in the world. It's like crack to me. I can't stay away!!!! Now let me attempt to get back on the topic at hand.

Ummm...Oh yes! LUSH Cosmetics rock! It is not a Korean company. The products are made in the UK, and the best part is that they are environmentally and ethically conscious products. The products are handmade with no animal testing and as little packaging as possible. The company has also rid its products of palm oil, which comes from trees in orangatan habitats. It's so hard to find reasonably priced ethical companies, so I'm excited about my new discovery!!!
My favorite product thus far is LUSH's solid shampoo. No packaging or preservatives, and it lasts as long as three bottles of shampoo. I reccomend "Godiva." It is jasmine scented and is a shampoo and conditioner in one.



STOLEN FROM LUSH.COM
Lady Godiva was married to a rich Lord in the town of Coventry in England. The people of the town loved her as she looked after them. Her husband was not so nice. He wanted to put up the taxes on his people. His wife asked him not to, and he said only if she rode through the town in the day completely naked! She agreed and asked the people of the town to stay in their houses and not look out, to keep her modesty. Luckily she had very, very long hair, which she let hang over her body. The people did as she asked, all bar one man called Tom, who peeped out and since then we have two names in the UK to describe people. "Lady Godiva" someone who parades naked and has beautiful long hair, and "Peeping Tom" someone who spies on others and looks when they should not be.

  1. I love LUSH! It is awesome. I bet your store has all kinds of neat items. Love reading about all your times in Korea. I still can't believe you are there. Takes some real guts to step out like that.

  2. Thanks, Kim. It has been nearly six months, and I still wake up and can't believe that I am on the other side of the world!
