(Unfortunately I misplaced...er lost the till slips so my pricing isn't accurate).
Lush Gorilla Perfume: $10. 95 (about) R87, 50
Lush Whip Stick in Chocolate Orange: $7.25 (about) R58, 00

Right off the bat I have to declare, I have nothing but good things to say about these two products!

First things first: Lush Lust Gorilla Perfume

Talk about clever! This Lush product comes in a lip balm type container with a screw top making it portable and convenient. I decided if I was going to try a Gorilla Perfume I might as well try something adventurous and so I picked up the 'Lust' fragrance. In one word the scent can be described as bold. It's strong and it took a bit of getting used to but it's a product that didn't disappoint....which takes us back to why I think it's so clever. Unlike other fragrances this version of the Gorilla Perfume comes in the form of a balm (although there are spray versions of the Gorilla Perfume available) that you apply and rub onto the skin. On top of that (I might even say because of it) the fragrance lasts all day (truly, unlike those other products that promise this but fail). It's a definite asset. A definitely recommended asset that is!

Second things next: Lush Whip Stick Chocolate Orange Lip Balm

I'm the type of person who loves lip balm, especially if it has a yummy flavour like raspberry or strawberry but I try to stay away from those flavours because I tend to lick them off within minutes of application making the whole endeavor rather pointless. This lip balm was the perfect find because it tastes like chocolate orange but isn't as easily removed as lip balms I've encountered in the past. It definitely has staying power which is an added bonus. It moisturizes and it leaves a glossy but not garishly shiny finish on the lips. So ok, the price is a tad bit ridiculous considering you could probably buy a regular lip balm for a fraction of the price but if you look at the fact that its a handmade product and how long it lasts I think it's a great choice!

Lush Eau Roma Toner Water
Price: R50, 00

This product is advertised as a light toner water that has an aroma therapeutic effect. I was excited to try it since I loved the idea of a handmade beauty product which is both environmentally friendly and sustainable (the containers in which the products are stored are recycled with their life story printed on the outside for customers to see).

I liked the water for numerous reasons but wasn't too impressed with it for others. I liked that it wasn't harsh on the skin, that it didn't strip my skin of moisture but left is smooth without it feeling punished. That being said it wasn't the greatest for removing daily buildup and sometimes when my face felt oily and dirty there would be little to almost none of that oil or dirt on my cotton swab (not cool).

Overall I liked the toner water, it's fresh smell and fun packaging. Although it wasn't the perfect fit for me I'd definitely recommend the it for those with sensitive skin or as a way to remove makeup.

Lush is a UK beauty brand that specializes in handmade cosmetics. The brand has recently made its debut on South African soil with its first store located at the V & A Waterfront, Cape Town.

On a recent trip to Cape Town I stopped off at Lush and was pretty impressed with what I saw (and smelled)! The first thing that hit me well before I reached the store was the glorious fragrance. All the products were neatly organized on the shelves with plenty of opportunity to sample any of them I wanted (an opportunity I immediately took advantage of)! The staff was friendly and available to assist and answer any questions about the products I had.

I picked more than my fair share of products including:
Lush Eau Roma Water Toner
Lush Gorilla Perfume
Lush Whip Stick Lip Balm

Look out for the product reviews soon!
