Product Review: The Beach Box (Lush Cosmetics)

Today I’m straying a bit from my normal Fashion posts but for good reason. I just had to rave about the new Beach Box I purchased from Lush Cosmetics yesterday. This selection holds everything you love about the beach in a tiny cardboard box with, might I mention, adorable beach facts and graphics adorning it. You get a taste of a little bit of everything for a great price which is why I had to pick it up. Not to mention that my boyfriend uses the harsh natural ocean water as a way to “wash”/style his hair and keep his face clear. Some of us don’t recognize the harshness that pure ocean salt can have on our skin later on.

Ocean Salt Cleanser

We all enjoy the dry tightness you feel when you take a trip to the beach. Sunbathing, sand, and salt can help dry skin and seem to prevent breakouts. The harshness however can leave your skin so dry its gasping for breath while also leaving your skin red and irritable. This Ocean Salt Cleanser is amazing, just rub onto your body or face and instantly feel refreshed. It makes your skin smooth, smells great, and brightens your complexion. I recommend it for washing your face in the morning, its invigorating and will help wake you up.

Sea Spray Hair Mist

I love the look of beach waves but I hate how it feels. Sticky and stringy, yuck. This sea spray works wonders, not only does it have a light feel and stimulating smell but it is powerful in it’s ability to boost your natural waves. If you shower without drying your hair, spray this on while your hair is still wet, tossle hair, and await your waves! If you blow dry your hair like myself, blow dry your hair but leave bottom half damp, spray on your ends and tossle hair. The spray will do the styling for you. For myself, I shower in the evenings. I spray some on after blow drying my hair and sleep on it, the waves still come out but the ends are a little more knotted due to tossing and turning during the night. To solve this just spray a tiny bit on your ends to tame any frizz or knotting.

Seanik Solid Shampoo

I mainly purchased this box for my boyfriend to try the Solid Shampoo. Infused with seaweed and sea salt it’s the perfect alternative to using the ocean as shampoo/conditioner. The trouble he has with washing his hair is that it comes out too fluffy and out of control. He is more sensitive to styling sprays/gels and the ocean salt serves as a natural styling tool for him. Usually he uses regular salt mixed with water to get his look but thus far he likes how the shampoo makes his hair feel. This small bar can last up to 70 washes! Not to mention it is super easy to travel with, perfect for camping or plane travel. This shampoo gives you a clean feeling with added volume but also keeps your hair tame and not appearing or feeling “too clean”.

Dream Cream Body Cream

This stuff works wonders if you are looking for a moisturizer that your skin can drink with ease. I love using this on my elbows and hands since those seem to be the most dry areas on my body.

Sea Vegetable Soap

What I love most about Lush is their vast array of soaps. They all smell AND look so amazing you almost want to eat them! This bar is no exception, it leaves you feeling relaxed like you just spent the whole day sipping from coconuts on the beach. A true sea escape.
