LUSH American Cream Conditioner!

Hello once again! So this is the review I promised on American Cream by LUSH. So you have probably noticed that I don't take my own photos of the product. I have tried to take pictures of them before but they have come out awful and you cant see what the actual product is like. So I'm sorry about that.
American cream is the best smelling conditioner EVER! I cant smell the strawberries and i can only faintly smell vanilla but it also smells a bit like laundry, I cant really describe it. According to the lush website and the bottle this is a double strength conditioner. I'm not sure about that. In the bottle it is very thick, i thought it would be nice and thick on my hair and it would drink up the conditioner nicely. It didn't. Once i had put a bit in my hair it disappeared. I felt like i had to keep putting more and more on to get my hair covered with conditioner. It felt the same as I washed it out, like there was nothing there. But when i got out of the shower it was so so easy to brush through my hair without getting caught in knots. I was really impressed and like Big shampoo the scent lasts until you wash your hair again. I absolutely love this conditioner and it pairs great with Big shampoo. I would love to know if you have tried any other conditioner from LUSH and if they are any good. Also have any of you tried their solid shampoos? I would love to try them but I'm a bit worried that they wont be very good. Let me know in the comments! Thanks for reading :D

LUSH Big Shampoo!

Hello once again! I realise i haven't posted in a long time but i have been really busy and stuff, but i thought now i have the time i will get on and do a few so here i am. So the other day i went shopping and i went to lush knowing what i wanted to buy. I had looked at Big shampoo and American Cream conditioner for so long reading reviews and what not it was ridiculous. So i just went ahead and bought them. It was very very pricey. I got Big shampoo and the medium sized bottle of American cream and i came to around £18 but i wasn't shocked because this is LUSH I'm talking about and they are ridiculously pricey. So i will be doing a review on Big now and American Cream after. The shampoo is actually surprisingly quite runny. It would be a very smooth liquid if not for the salt as this shampoo is 50% salt. You would think that they would hurt you head? Well they don't! It is actually a very nice feeling. I have long hair, not really long but i need hardly any of this shampoo to create an amazing lather! The whole of my head was covered in foam and bubbles. And the smell.. Oh the smell is just amazing, i cant really describe it but it is a mix of citrus and clean laundry and very fresh and clean but it is amazing. The smell stayed in my hair in til i washed it again which i loved, although i couldn't stop sniffing my hair, lol. This cleaned my hair amazing well, it feels like I'm getting a deep clean and it is stripping everything bad off my hair (I don't not suggest if you have dyed hair) but there is a downfall to this shampoo, it made my hair super super knotty, i couldn't even run my fingers through it, i had to pull the pieces of hair apart, and quite hard to. It took me ages to get all the big knots out so i could put my conditioner on properly. So i would not suggest this for dry hair, unless you use a very strong conditioner or are just using it for a treat or something like that. But i do love how this smells, cleans my hair and how you don't need to use much of it so if i had to give it a star rating i would give it a 4 1/2. Thanks for reading and i hope i haven't babbled on to much, once again sorry i haven't been posting much but i will get back into it, i promise :)
