Lush BIG hair!

LUSH CRUSH :O!





I have always lacked volume in my hair ... it is dead straight, won't hold any kind of curl / wave and I've been on the search for products that will give me some of that volume. In my previous wish list post I explained I saw this lush shampoo review on a blog somewhere and I was keen to try it!

 

So long story short... I bought it a while ago and I love it :)

At first I didn't think it did anything for my hair, and didn't really feel / see much of a difference, but I can definitely say that there is!

It's called the Lush BIG Sea Salt Liquid Shampoo, and it smells amazing.

It says on the tub ... Sea salt shampoo to give your hair lift and volume, make it easy to get a comb through and smell great for hours. Have a big hair day.

This is like having your hair lifted on a sea breeze.

.... and that's pretty much the best description of what it feels like after a wash with this stuff.
Light and full of volume!

From the photos I really can't see much of a difference, BUT. there is quite a big difference in the feel of my hair if you get what I mean. Obviously it's not going to have a drastic effect but I think with this shampoo, some hair spray and your extra hair care routine, this will definitely help you get bigger hair :)!

This stuff lasts ages, you only need one scoop and that's enough to leave your hair clean enough as if you'd done a double cleanse with a regular shampoo!

Make sure you use a hair dryer to get the full effect and volume.

 I've let it dry naturally and it just doesn't look as 'BIG' in comparison.
 

I love the feel of this shampoo when I work it through my hair.

The sea salt makes it feel like you're giving it a nice scrub.

It is a quite expensive shampoo at

$26.95 AUD a tub, but I swear this stuff lasts a lifetime!!

 

I definitely recommend this shampoo if you have limp hair lacking in the volume department:)

The Ugly Side of Beauty - Animal testing

 

Hey there.

I want to talk about animal testing today.

It's something that has always been on my mind, and something I always consider when buying cosmetics but I don't think I realized how many companies out there actually test, and even if they say they don't many of them actually lie.

I think animal testing of any kind is disgusting and shouldn't happen, but unfortunately  it does.

I wouldn't pay to see an animal die by any means - I am vegetarian after all, but animal testing happens and it happens frequently to make sure the products we use to get ready for a night out are safe for us.
I've recently decided not to support companies that currently test on animals because like I said I wouldn't pay money for any animals death even after receiving a pretty product at the end of it.
It's easy to forget about what really happens behind the scenes of the making of your makeup products and most of of us just buy it anyway not thinking about the products grim history.

Everyone has a choice in what makeup they use sure, no one can stop that but I found that because I didn't really know what was going on, I somehow didn't really acknowledge  it was going on if you get what I mean. It really annoys me more than anything that I can't wear that perfume or use that mascara because I know that the products have been tested on animals. 

There are so many cosmetics I wish I could use, but now refuse to because they test.

I'm glad that there are companies out there that are cruelty free and don't take part in animal testing, so these are the companies which will be getting my money from now on! :)

Companies such as The Body Shop, Urban Decay, Burts Bees and more recently NYX who are cruelty free are all owned by companies that test on animals themselves, so buying the products means your money goes towards animal testing anyway.

L'Oreal is one of the biggest offenders, so I stay way clear of them.

Sometimes I have make mistakes as it is quite difficult to know if a company is truly cruelty free so if you want to go cruelty free, make sure you research the company before you buy.

All companies argue that they don't support animal testing and they do their best to prevent it, but in circumstances when they are obligated by law to test, they will.
Thanks for reading, I think it's an important issue to discuss. 

What are your thoughts on the matter?
