==Lush Angels on Bare Skin==

Another Lush product that I have used many times now and the reason for that it that it is a great little pot of cleanser which lasts a good amount of time for the price and feels like a little bit of a treat with each use.

 ==Price and Packaging==

The Lush's website  is selling for £5.50 pence which gets you a pot of 100 grams. Compared to other cleansers you can buy this is about the right price especially as it is a Lush product and made from a medieval recipe which is said on their website to be an expensive treat back in those times. It comes in a small clear plastic pot which you are able to see the beige contents within. There are two labels on the pot showing product information, ingredients and contact details.  The products is described on the pot as " Based on a simple medieval recipe, we present our heavenly cleanser and gentle exfoliater for earthly faces. With rose for softness and lavender to control your skins natural oils."

==Look and Smell==

When opening the pot of this cleanser I immediately am reminded of bird food. I am sure we used to make this at school for the birds to eat. It is a lumpy looking beige colour with seed like brown bits in the middle.  The smell of it is fairly medicated. At first I wasn't sure I liked it but after a few applications the fragrance was rather appealing and somewhat relaxing. I can smell what I think is the almond oil and only a slight hint of the lavender that is mentioned in the ingredients.

==General Use==

The directions of use for this products are given on the label of the pot. They read as follows " Take a pea sized blob and squish it in warm water to make a paste. Smooth this over your face, rinse away, tone and moisturise."So, that is exactly what I did. I thought that I would need a bigger bit than stated but still I followed the instructions and only used a pea sized amount. Once made into a paste the smell of the cleanser was stronger and the paste made up a paler colour than it is in the pot. It's easy to apply to the face and the little bit specified does indeed go a long way. It covered my face with ease in more of a thicker paste than I first imagined.   After rubbing it in and around my face for a little while and then gently removing it with some cotton wool I stepped back and had a good look at my facial skin.It looked rather red straight after so I left it for 5 or so minutes and went back to the mirror to inspect. My skin had a nice glow and it felt so smooth! The beads certainly exfoliated my skin while I hardly knew they were!  I thought my skin looked and felt a lot healthier and happier. After toning my skin and applying some Lush Skin Drink facial moisturiser I felt like a new woman (well my face did!)

==Conclusion==

This product is great! It certainly did what it said and cleansed my skin. It exfoliated well and made my skin feel like a babies bum! So quite unexpectedly my skin felt moisturised as well as cleansed. I think this 100 gram pot is going to last me quite a while as the little pea sized amount goes along way. For the price I think it is certainly worth every penny. It didn't dry my skin out too much like other products I have used and really from a cleanser I could of asked no more.
I have had no problems at all with using this product and I have already recommended it to several of my friends. I would recommend this to all lush fans and really anyone who uses cleanser. I am planning to apply this to Himself's face in a bit so I may update you on how that went!

5 out of 5 stars for Lush's Angels on bare skin.
