Lush - Emotional Brilliance

Hey Ladies,

This post is all about the wonder of Emotional Brilliance by Lush. As soon as I heard that Lush were venturing into the world of cosmetics, I was excited. I adore Lush, some of my all time favourite products include 'The Comforter' (although my partner doesn't thank me for the bright pink loveliness in the bath) 'Rockstar' handmade soap, 'British Skin Nanny' facial serum, and lets not leave out the wide variety of massage bars, bath bombs and face masks I purchase every time I'm near a store! The Emotional Brilliance range consists of Lip colours, eyeliners and eyeshadows. There are 30 products in all (all of which are vegan!) and you are bound to find a product to suit your mood!


The concept behind 'Emotional Brilliance' is less about wearing makeup that’s in-season or someone else’s vision of what’s on-trend, it works in a way for you to wear something that’s designed for you - you choose the colours and then the corresponding words, such as Confident, Vibrance, Bubbly or Glamorous, they will then be of significance to you and your needs at that time and you wear them to get that point across. It really is more the power of suggestion, that it’s enough that you believe in it, you will then start to behave a certain way. You know, for example when you're told to wear red, as red is a power colour? That it will make you feel confident? This is the whole idea behind this range and I think it's really fantastic! How it works is, you spin the Emotional Brilliance Colour Wheel to get your personalised colour reading, you then choose the three colours that stand out to you at that time and these colours are linked to certain words that reveal a little bit about your current state of mind! Pretty clever, right?
 


This is the lipstick, 'Glamorous' I just love it, The packaging of these products are really fun. In all honesty I didn't really know what to expect from the lipsticks, but they are really great, they apply beautifully and the lasting power is pretty fantastic, they fade more like a stain but are not drying on the lips.

Next up is 'Vibrance' this is a really pretty coral/tangerine perfect for the Summer months! I'm really enjoying this one.



'Bubbly' is a burnt orange with a pink iridescent shimmer, it's really pretty, and I can't say enough good things about the staying power of these lipsticks, they're just brilliant. Although it does feel a little strange pulling these out of my purse for touch ups! I get quite a few questions!



'Focus' is a beautiful pearlescent, off silver with really light blue shimmer eyeshadow, it has a doe foot applicator just like the lipsticks, it's a little tricky to apply, but the colour pay off is excellent.



Last up is the liquid eyeliner in 'Control' this is just the most incredible navy blue liner. Perfect for when you need a little more colour than your basic black! This lasts all day. It's fantastic.
