Lush

The right shampoo and hair conditioner will give you shiny, healthy, silky, yummy-smelling hair and...

...a cool new bag.

Lush's handmade bath and body products cost more than the usual, mass-produced stuff you find on grocery shelves so it was nice when they started giving away these patent bags as freebies. You've got to admit that they have character. Each bag is emblazoned with "Lush" on one side and, on the other, take your pick: "gorgeous", "rock star", and "confidence".

The best things in life are, indeed, free.

But, ok, we have to hand it to Lush. I have a mass produced shampoo bottle in front of me now and its ingredients, as listed on the side, include sodium laureth sulfate, cocoamidropropyl betaine, and panthenol. I'm sure they aren't toxic but I usually would rather stay away from chemicals with 5 or more syllables ;) . Lush's Rehab shampoo, on the other hand, is made up of stuff like fresh kiwi juice, peppermint oil, salt, rose oil, and more ingredients that sound like they were freshly hand-picked from a garden. It doesn't take a genius to guess what a girl would be more inclined to use.
