10 Lush Products That Will Change Your Life

It's fair to say that everyone loves to have their skin feel clean, refreshed and brighter than ever, and the creators at LUSH Cosmetics have worked tirelessly since 1995 to develop and produce products that meet those expectations. The cosmetic geniuses at LUSH have a focus on creating scrubs, cleansers and bath products (gels, shampoos, conditioners, etc.) that indulge the senses and help combat the damage that our environment does on our skin.

They also have a strict policy of not testing their formulas on animals, creating a diverse line of vegan products, using naturally derived or fair trade ingredients and recycling the packaging that they put their products in by offering a free fresh face mask for participating.

The sales clerks at each store are always willing to help you find the right products for you, and, since I started shopping there in early 2015, I have become obsessed with the quality of products and the ethical integrity that this company has to offer.

The products below are great at boosting the skin's brightness, cleansing problem areas of the skin, balancing the levels of oil/dryness on the face, leaving you with pleasant scented skin and making your skin feel soft to the touch.

1. Angels on Bare Skin Face and Body Cleanser

With scrubbing ground almonds, soothing lavender and calming rose absolute, it's no wonder that this is one of the company's worldwide highest selling cleansers that they've made! I bought this on my first trip ever to a LUSH store, and the results I got from it were amazing! The cleanser has a lovely floral smell, but it doesn't remind me of a old woman's perfume. This product gently scrubs at your skin, leaving you with a balanced complexion and a softness cannot be compared! Join the rest of the world here.

2. Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub

This sea-salt based scrub truly gives the user a luxurious exfoliation and a fresh face. While you can use this anywhere on the body (my mom loves using this on her hands and feet), I've used this product to help eliminate stubborn blackheads and remove dead skin cells that can give the complexion a dull tone! A vodka and lime extract provides a tone-brightening astringent and the avocado butter and fresh coconut nourishes the skin while cleansing. Treat yourself here.

3. Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub

Much like Ocean Salt, Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub contains fine sea salt to help exfoliate the skin and remove impurities with ease. The lemon and lime juice creates a lovely citrus scent while the orange blossom, mimosa and jasmine absolutes bring a fresh and floral aroma to the mix. I love using this as a pre-shower dry scrub to really get a rich exfoliation, but you can easily use this one on wet skin and still get a nice exfoliation. Buy your tub of tropical paradise here.

4. Avobath Bath Ballistic

This is the only bath ballistic that I mention in this list, but that's because it's my absolute favorite of the bunch! While the outside of the product leaves little to no impression, the inside is truly what counts with this bath product. Drop this little guy in the tub while filling it up, and your entire bathroom with be transformed into a bright, citrusy paradise! With lemongrass oil, this bath ballistic really packs a delightful punch of scent while fresh avocados leave the skin feeling soft and nourished. For a lovely bath-time treat, order this ballistic here.

6. Herbalism Face and Body Cleanser

Herbalism came to me in a time of troubled, oily skin. This cleanser was specifically designed for people like me; people with breakout-prone, sensitive, or oily skin should give this product a go. The ground almonds provide a gentle scrub and herbs and rice vinegar extract help soak up excess oils on the face. If I'm ever having a rather spotty week, this is the product I use to help fight it off! The scent is not the most pleasant, but, it certainly beats soaking my skin with conventional cleansers with chemicals that I can't pronounce! Combat that troubled skin here.

7. Needles and Pines Shower Jelly

This shower jelly is just what I need when I feel the need to escape the hustle and bustle of my everyday life. This product contains pine needle and cypress leaf infusions, and when lathered, takes you to a secluded mountain hideaway. The LUSH shower jellies can be cut up and stored in your freezer, and this specific jelly delivers a refreshing tingle when frozen. I absolutely love this product, simply because it gives me a taste of the wilderness in the comforts of my own home. Find your escape here.

8. Dark Angels Face and Body Cleanser

Like Herbalism, this product delivers a great solution for people with oily skin. Made from charcoal and black sugar, this cleanser scrubs away excessive oils and leaves the skin looking brighter and cleaner than ever before. I find this product to be very soothing on my skin, as the dark ingredients help balance out the uneven colors of my complexion from acne and redness. Just be sure to give your skin and sink/tub a good rinse after; I've found remnants of the product on my tub or on my skin after using this product. Get your Dark Angels on here.

9. Vanishing Cream Moisturizer

Now, as someone with oily and acne-prone skin, I tend to stay far away from moisturizers and similar products for fear the they will cause my skin to break out. However, LUSH has delivered and extremely light and lovely smelling moisturizing cream that I couldn't ever get enough of! Lavender absolute, witch hazel and fair trade shea butter leave the skin feeling softer than the day you were born. While this product is not vegan (it contains honey), I hope that LUSH develops an animal-free version of this moisturizer. Purchase this miracle here.

10. Tea Tree Water Toner

As a final step in my ski-care regimen, a spray of toning water helps close your pores to more impurities and refreshes the skin to get you ready to take on the day! This toning water is great because it contains cleansing tea tree water, which helps clear up the oil and redness of the skin. There may be days where I skip washing my face (usually due to waking up too late), but there won't ever be a day that goes by without using this product. Treat your skin here.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
