Product Review: LUSH Cosmetics

Megan Farquharson

For our latest Zebralution shoot, we had the pleasure of trying out some of the gorgeous products from LUSH! https://www.lush.com.au/ 

We were super excited to try out some of their cosmetics products, as we are all huge fans of all the LUSH beauty products, and we couldn't wait to get our hot little hands on some of their makeup line!

There's so much to love about LUSH, from their strong values with keeping fresh beautiful natural ingredients, to recycling and trying to make an impact on unnecessary landfill, and of course - Fighting against animal cruelty by making a HUGE effort to avoid any involvement with animal testing. They do this by ensuring that every single product that goes into their products is ethically accounted for, and never EVER tested on animals! They have such a great range of vegetarian and vegan products - and Zebralution just loves them!!

Of course it also helps that when ever we go into our local LUSH store - Brisbane, Queen St Mall https://www.lush.com.au/index.php?route=common%2Flocation_details&location_id=8
We're always greeted by the loveliest, most helpful staff including the adorable Annalise, the store manager. She always makes time to chat to us about Zebralution, any new makeup products and anything else makeup/fashion/cruelty free that we can fit in before we buy the whole store out!!

Back to the shoot! LUSH generously gave us these products to try out!

First up, Eyes Bright Mascara - So perfect for Makeup artists! Super easy to use with a disposable mascara wand with a smaller shaped bottle (rather than a tube) means it wont dry out as fast! I got a great solid black colour from it, with out clumping. Great for an everyday wear mascara. 


Focus Creme Pigment - Such a dreamy, creamy beautiful colour. Perfect for giving me that really striking highlight on the cheekbones, that I wanted to achieve on Jacqueline. Its usual purpose is as an Eye Shadow, to be place on the center of the eye lid and brow bone and blended in - Perfection! I'd love to use this in a themed shoot for something like a mermaid or pretty little alien girl! I may need to get creating - Watch this space! 

Colour Supplement (Light Yellow) - To be used as a foundation, or tinted moisturizer for a light a light to medium coverage. Great for sensitive skin! This particular shade was so lovely and creamy. We decided to mix it in with a little of our other cruelty free foundation to get a really flawless look, but this is great as a everyday makeup that you can dress up or play down. Would look gorgeous with a nice subtle bronzer on the cheek and maybe a pretty colour like 'Perspective' lip gloss for an "effortlessly natural" look. 


Thank you LUSH! Zebralution loves you!! xxx
