Over the past year, LUSH cosmetics has taken the world by storm, growing its popularity and its most well-known products — bath bombs. Whenever I log onto Instagram or Tumblr, all I see are artsy pictures of people's baths. While bath bombs are great (I'm an avid user myself), this company is not just to make your bath colorful. I see so many people in the LUSH store when I'm there who completely overlook every other cool (HANDMADE) product this company has to offer. I've been branching out from the typical bath bombs and bubble bars to try some of the less common products and what they're all about, and I'm very impressed.
No Drought Dry Shampoo
I have recently purchased and begun using this product, and it has got to be the best dry shampoo I've ever used. It's a powder instead of a spray, and therefore I feel it does a better job of soaking up oils. Spraying dry shampoo onto your roots can sometimes make them feel greasier, which is the opposite of what you want.
It's beneficial for your hair if you don't wash it every day, so it gives the natural oils time to do their job. This product is perfect for those second (or third day) hairdos. There are two different sizes, but the large one is only about $15 and will last you a really long time, so it's completely worth the money.
Shampoo Bars
Another hair care item, these shampoo's bars are great for the environment because there's no plastic! A solid bar that suds up when you get it wet, lathers amazing, and comes in so many different scents and for different hair types! I personally have tried the one for volumizing and I absolutely love it. After using this product I realized how many plastic shampoo bottles just get thrown away and how amazing this alternative is. These retail for around $10.

Massage Bars
Massage bars melt into your skin when you massage them in, and leave your skin feeling super smooth and moisturized! This product is a lot less messy than a bottle of lotion, and just like the shampoo bar, there's nothing left over to throw away. LUSH sells tins to keep your products in, and you can reuse them again and again. There are different kinds of massage bars for different things, such as the Wiccy Magic Muscles bar with peppermint and cinnamon spice oils to help relax sore muscles or the Shimmy Shimmy, which leaves your body feeling relaxed with a glow. Massage bar pricing ranges from $8-$14, depending on the type you choose.

Ocean Salt Face And Body Scrub
One of Lush's most popular products besides bath bombs, this face and body scrub can be used anywhere to make your skin super smooth. It also helps with blocked pores and blemishes, leaving your skin glowing and renewed. Recently, the company also came out with rebalanced formula to make it completely self-preserving. Ocean salt is
If you've never been inside a LUSH store, a trip should certainly be in your future. The workers are friendly and attentive, and can help you find the perfect products for you and your skin. Whether you're looking for the best face mask, soap, eyeliner, or perfume, this store has it all!
