Lush

I know i've been neglecting this blog (not that anyone follows, that's okay) but to be honest I forgot it existed. Until I decided recently I wanted to post some product reviews and found I already had a blog. I'm just going to post random whatever stuff here. Some will be Japan related some entirely not. If anyone follows this, you'll just have to deal with the posts not all having a common theme or being of interest to you. I know that some posts will be japan related, some beauty related, and some neither.

I am really obsessed with Lush. I have been for about a year. In addition to the items I pick up here in tokyo, I've also made several UK lush hauls and 2 huge boxing day sale hauls in the US. After the boxing day hauls I realized I just have way too much, it's kind of ridiculous. Not that I don't love it. I bought a decent sized bin which i thought would be plenty big for all of my lush stuff but when the christmas haul arrived It became completely full.

So I've decided to start project 10 lush. Project 10 pan is a blog/vlog shopping ban project for people with too much makeup. You have to use up 10 items before you buy something new. The idea is to help you use up your items and also to "shop your stash" and rediscover items you forgot about. Eventually i'm going to go on makeup 10 pan, but not right now since I haven't desired to buy makeup lately it would be kind of pointless. I still have lush UK order i'm waiting to arrive but since i've ordered that i've bought no lush and so as of that order 10 lush has started. This isn't for all lush items, because some items like masks and shampoos etc I use constantly and constantly have to repurchase. It's going to count for soaps. bath bombs, bubblebars, showergel, and lotion.

I took pictures of all of the items as of right now, so when I use them up I'll have a picture to post with a review. Keep in mind, I do cut up most of my items because they are just too strong to use all at once, most of the time. Also I cocktail items often, using 2 or 3 items in a bath. So it usually takes between 1 and 4 baths to use an item. That aside I suspect this ban will go pretty quickly, so I may allow myself to by 1 or 2 items (depending on how long it takes) when I finish before starting again. I might also post up reviews of items i've used before that are not counted in 10 lush.

Also I just want to mention that I have items from Japan, US and UK. Although the items are exactly the same in looks, scent, and function, the name, packaging, and size may vary (for example, normal US and UK bubble bars are 100g, in japan they are all 80g.) I will use the english names on the US website to refer to items, even if they have an entirely different japanese name.
