Trying out LUSH Skincare: Sweet Japanese Girl and Gorgeous

Just out of pure curiousity, I've decided to see if LUSH's skincare really lives up to its claims.

If you've ever read the product descriptions, you'll know that they either a) don't describe the product at all or b) claim that the product can cure AIDS, cancer and global warming with just one use.

As afraid as I am to use it on my face, I can't help but be lured into trying it...

This week, I've used nothing but Sweet Japanese Girl to cleanse, and Gorgeous to moisturize.

My skin looks okay, not really any different. It feels... it feels like it's coated in an inch of wax. Ugh.

Gorgeous is absurdly expensive for such inexpensive ingredients, and it feels like rubbing candle wax on your face. It smells nice, though. Kinda like orange blossom.

I ordered some toner, and as anti-toner as I am (or used to be after trying Shiseido's amazing toner), I feel like I really need it after using Sweet Japanese Girl. You're supposed to rub the bar on your face- dry bar, dry face. It melts and scratches, and you rub it in. Then you're supposed to wash it off with a wet washcloth. It doesn't really ever come off.


Well, I'll give it until Sunday and report back.
