Last week I attended the media launch for Lush South Africa’s store in the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town. What a super afternoon, spent being pamper by all the luscious goodies on offer at their flagship store in South Africa. The wonderful fruity aromas heightened all my senses – from fun Bath Ballistics to Bubble Bars and Solid Shampoo Bars they have it all. The amazingly enthusiastic Lush staff happily guided our experience explaining all the various products in great detail.
Fresh Soaps are beautifully displayed in a Deli-style selection, the choices are quite over whelming but there is definitely something for everyone – my favourite is “Honey I Washed the Kids”. The Soaps are made from predominately natural ingredients which makes them very mild and gentle on the skin and they smell awesome!
We also got to experience the making of the Lush “Fresh Face Masks”, first hand! The masks are made fresh every week and kept fresh and chilled, in store, on a bed on ice. I received a sample of the mask made at the launch which is aptly named “Catastrophe Cosmetic”, to take home and try. This mask is made with fresh Blueberries, soothing Camomile, Irish Moss and calming Calamine – to help calm and cleanse the skin. I tried the mask on Saturday evening and it truly left my skin feeling calm and silky-soft.
I really enjoyed the afternoon at Lush, we were also treated to a wonderfully goodie bag of Lush items to take home with us! I also bought a few additional items that caught my eye, which I will let you know more about once I have tried them. The one I am most keen to try is a Massage Bar called “Shimmy Shimmy”, which in the shape of a heart with sparkles in it!
A big thank you to the Lush SA team for a great afternoon and if you have not visited the store yet then you must definitely get there soon, there are so many amazing products on offer! The Lush store is located on the V&A Waterfront on the ground floor opposite the iStore. If you would like to be kept up-to-date with all the Lush happening you can follow them on FaceBook & Twitter.
