I'm baaaaack!
And no, now with a look, but with an incredibly unhelpful review! Whoopee!

LUSH's description: Feel like you have the world’s most sensitive skin? Allow us to
prescribe you a bar of Fresh Farmacy, our calamine-based cleansing bar.
Fresh Farmacy contains chamomile extract to calm, rose and lavender to
soothe dry patches and tea tree to clear up any blemishes. The name
stems all the way back to the beginning of LUSH, when we held a
competition to name the company. Although we (obviously) went with
another option, we thought the name appropriate for our problem-solving
cleanser.
So, I bought this cleanser on a whim as my first ever LUSH product when I saw it on someone else's blog. I thought that if this product could solve my skin woes, then it would definitely be worth LUSH's infamously hefty price tags. Spoiler alert: it wasn't.
First of all, Fresh Farmacy is not a bad product. It's simply a gentle facial wash with a lighty herb-y scent. Nothing more, nothing less. It has something like little seeds in it that act as a very mild exfoliant if you rub them in to your skin a little. I would usually apply this product early in my shower and leave it on for the duration, because it was a little bit moisturizing when used that way. It's nice, but that's it. Nice.
This product did nothing to soothe my angry teenage acne. It did nothing to remove my plentiful scarring. I used it religiously for a while and all that I can say is that it cleaned my skin without harming it. Now, since I've had it for a while and I haven't stored it in an air-tight container, it's gotten crumbly and hard to use. Could this have been prevented? Probably, but I think it's worth noting.
Anyway, I recommend this product if you have sensitive skin, and I don't if you don't. Because I don't and I think that this was just a waste of money.
Do you have sensitive skin?
PS: I'm not sure if posts will ever become a regular thing on this blog again. I'm about to become a senior in high school, so I have an incredible amount of other things on my plate. Makeup just isn't the passion in my life that it used to be. I don't need it artistically like I used to. That being said, it's still a part of my life, and posts shall surely be periodic, and certainly shouldn't be six months apart like these last two, but I just don't know what's in the future for this blog. That being said, I do have posts coming up, so come back if you're interested!
