Teeny Weeny Lush Haul and Thoughts

I know there are a ton of Lushies out there, but I'm indifferent to Lush. I've only ordered from Lush twice before, and it was quite a few years back. I did like two of the things I've previously gotten: the Mask of Magnaminty and the Tisty Tosty bath bomb. Both were really nice, and I even reordered the latter for this haul. The reason I'd consider myself indifferent to Lush is because I'd rather support indie companies, and because Lush's prices are a bit steep in my opinion.

There are a lot of staples in my daily hair care routine, and I'm quickly running out of most of them. Though I've ordered backups, the backups won't be here before I run out. Therefore, I needed a little bit of hair ~thangs~ to get me through. I ordered Ice Blue shampoo and Okra conditioner for my hair. I also got the Tisty Tosty bath bomb to spoil myself with a relaxing scented bath full of miniature roses.


Above from L to R: Okra conditioner, Ice Blue shampoo, and Tisty Tosty bath bomb.
 
The following will be a breakdown of my thoughts about Ice Blue and Okra:


What I liked:

*I think both Ice Blue and Okra worked fairly well.
*Ice Blue made my hair squeaky clean.
*Okra smelled really fresh, like mountains with a field of herbs nearby. The scent even lingered in my hair for hours.
*The company doesn't test on animals- a rarity for mainsteam companies these days! Even MAC succombed to animal testing, but I digress...

 
What I didn't like:

*Both products contain both SLS and parabens. Whyyyy?
*They were both expensive. Rach of them costed $9.95 for only 3.3 oz of product.
*Ice Blue smelled a bit medicinal to me.

Final Thoughts: I don't necessarily regret my Lush purchases, but this wasn't my absolute favorite haul in the world. I'm happy to have the shampoo and conditioner to get me through until my regulars get here. I'm also happy to have the bath bomb to look forward to. Though I am mainly a shower girl, I do enjoy the ocassional bath for my relaxation and wellbeing.
