Lush is a bath and cosmetic company that prides itself on making environmentally sound products. Their line of solid perfumes is a great go anywhere product for the person who is always running around.
I got this solid perfume for free. On first sniff I thought "Oh my god, this is cat pee perfume!" I put it away and a few days later bit the bullet and put some on. After a few minutes, I was in love. Some of Lush's products need to sit out and cure before you use them or they smell very different on you than in the package. This was totally the case with this one.
The smell is described on Lush's website as unisex. Organic olive oil and the fresh juice of mandarin oranges are the scents that make up Olive Branch. I definitely smell the oranges but I'm not so sure about the olive oil. It smells like a warm, clean scent to my nose. The scent is very calming to me. Most of the time the scent lasts for 6-8 hours. This is longer than any of my spray perfumes and I keep it in my purse for easy application anywhere.
If you live in a warm climate be careful how you store this product. Some of the ingredients make it very soft when heated. I also wouldn't store it in a pocket because of this. The waxes and coco butter do make your skin soft. The butter can make peple prone to acne break out so use caution if applying to your face. Here is the list of ingredients: Japan Wax, Perfume, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma Cacao), Carnauba Wax (Copernicia Cerifera), Hydroxycitronellol, Bergamot Oil (Citrus Aurantium bergamia), *Limonene, Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Orange Flower Absolute (Citrus Dulcis), Mandarin Oil (Citrus nobilis), *Citral, *Geraniol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Linalool, Coumarin,.
The directions for the solid perfumes say to just rub it on your pulse points. An easier way to apply it is to take your fingernail and swipe it across the surface (away from you so the perfume isn't trapped under your nail) and rub on. There are many other solid perfume scents. Try them all and pick one depending on your mood!
I have no idea why Jennifer Aniston always feels the need to pose semi-nude? She has a nice figure? fine, but how many times must we see it, in this way? I don't really understand her, in one breath she says, she doesn't like the attention of the press and the next time I see her, she seems to be doing all she can to gain their attetion (posing like this, having her birthday party photographed, looking with cow eyes at Gerard Butler)
I was a fan of Friends, partiularly David Schwimmer and I felt he was over looked in favor of Jennifer for the simple fact, she was married to Brad Pitt, As far as I can see David as well as the rest of the cast (including Lisa Kudrow, were every bit as talented then Aniston.) It just shows, popularity in Hollywood has little to do with talent.
She doesn't want attention? she could leave Hollywood and have a very nice life for herself, as for Brad, he seems happy to me with Angelina, he has never said a bad word about Jennifer, so why all the hate from her fans? I wish Aniston would stop implying about her divorce. it would be nice to see her really work on her acting, come back and do something dramatic, find someone to marry or don't, have children or not, whatever her heart desires but I am tired of hearing about her every five minutes.
