| LUSH | NEW Westfield Marion Store | Opening Night | [Photo Heavy ]


A few weeks back I was invited to the NEW LUSH store opening at Westfield Marion. It was a fun-filled evening of pampering and learning more about LUSH's values, ethics and environmentally sustainable practices that make it one of my FAVOURITE beauty brands out there! Come along with me to the NEW Westfield Marion store to see their new digs and check out the current product offerings from LUSH Australia!


LUSH: "From our very humble beginnings at LUSH, our founders have been conscious of how our products and business practices interact with the environment. In doing so we've used creative and innovative solutions to make a positive impact on the planet. Sustainability is a company-wide priority that flows through our products, from our hands to yours".


Bath Bomb heaven at LUSH..................


Can you spot your favourite?


Lip products galore! Lip scrubs, balms & ALL you will need to keep your lips luscious.


Delicious LUSH 'Fresh Face Masks' on ice. The chocolatey 'Cupcake Face Mask' looked good enough to eat!


Beauty-lovers and bloggers exploring the NEW LUSH Marion Store!


STATION #1 'D.I.Y Making 'Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser':

It was exciting and humbling to see in 'real time' how quickly and simply the LUSH Angels on Bare Skin was made. Being able to watch all the natural ingredients that make up the product made me feel very comfortable with using the cleanser. It only took a few minutes and it was ready to package up and use (we were kindly given samples of the cleanser to try at home). I am in love with Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser, it is so gentle and comforting on my skin.


STATION #2 Traditional Japanese 'Furoshiki' Wrapping:

When buying individual products as gifts at LUSH, it is encouraged to present your gift in one of their stunning knot wraps. These are based upon the Japanese tradition of ‘furoshiki’, where the wrapping of the gift becomes a part of the gift itself. I love this idea - it's functional, saving our environment, and promoting the re-homing & restyling of vintage scarves! LUSH's furoshiki scarves are all made from recycled plastic or are unique vintage scarves. 


LUSH FACT....................

About 46% of LUSH products are naked (packaging free), including bath bombs, shampoo bars, bubble bars, massage bars, body butters and solid facial cleansers – reducing the preservatives required and packaging sent to landfill in Australia.
Consider this; if everyone in Australia used solid shampoo bars, then we would be reducing landfill by over nine million bottles a year!

STATION #3 'Massage Bars' & Hand Treatments:


Enjoying a relaxing hand massage with the LUSH Wiccy Magic Muscles Massage Bar!
It was a spicy combination of cinnamon leaf and peppermint essential oils - to relax and help ease aching muscles.....





Thank you for the invite LUSH! It was a fantastic opportunity to talk all things LUSH and learn more about a brand that continually impresses me with its dedication to environmental sustainability & ethical practices within a big business environment.

Thank YOU for coming along with me to explore all things LUSH!

| Profound Feline | Liebster Award Nomination |


The always vivacious Susannah from Sparkle2day recently nominated me for the Liebster Award! Of late I have been struggling under a mound of blog posts, but NOW I finally have time to breathe *exhales* I am excited to sit down and finally write this post for you!



If you haven't heard of the Liebster Award, it is a post answering a series of Q & A's nominated by the blogger who has tagged you. The Liebster Award was created to help recognise and discover new bloggers, and as a way to welcome people to the bloggersphere! So sweet!

 Cuppa tea at my side, thinking cap on, fluffy slippers in tow, I am all yours.


If you would like to learn a little more about me, then just keep on reading!


  • What's a blog that inspires you?
  • A blog that has recently inspired me (of course there are many) is Alix from I Covet Thee
    Alix's blog is such a pleasure to read. An aesthetically beautiful layout and her passion for beauty is enviable. Do yourself a favour and click on the above link for some beautiful beauty blogging inspiration.

  • If money and time were no object, what would you like to do with your blog?
  • I would love to incorporate a vintage theme & shop into my blog. I have an honest & huge appreciation for all things vintage, retro & historical. When I am not looking at beauty products in-store I am often searching through flea-markets, thrift-shops, and vintage fairs for pre-loved items from the past to rescue and take home.


  • What's your favourite TV show or movie?
  • This is a hard question to answer. How can you narrow it down to just one? Okay, I am going to go with movies. I have MANY favourites but I think the best way to decide is to choose a movie you can watch over and over again. Therefore, Love Actually would be my favourite! I can happily watch this movie every year when they show it around Christmas time. That being said, if I am under the weather, nothing fails to make me smile like The Adventures of Milo & Otis. Oh you must! 


  • What do you like to do when you're not blogging?
  • I love to spend my time with people who make me the most happy. My family, boyfriend, and good friends. If I can incorporate those people with laughter, fun and nature (being outdoors) that is perfection to me.

  • What's your job or dream job (other than blogging)?
  • I love helping people. If I could incorporate aspects of beauty with helping people, that would be the dream. I have previously worked with the Australian Look Good Feel Better Foundation and would love to again. If you are not familiar with LGFB it is a community service program dedicated to teaching cancer patients how to manage the appearance-related side-effects that can be caused by cancer treatment. An inspiring and worthwhile cause.

  • What's your favourite, holy grail beauty product?
  • Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum. A delicate little skin treat for overnight wonders on my skin.

  • On your own blog, what's your favourite blog post?
  • It would be my 'Home is where the ♥ is' blog post. Here is the link:




    It was a time loss, reflection, and opening my heart to love.

  • What's your favourite recipe (or food if you're not into cooking)?
  • Lemon Cheesecake. The tangier the better :) My taste buds are tingling just looking a this picture.


  • Do you have any pets?
  • Yes, I have an aquarium of fish and the 'other' love of my life, Angas the budgie! He is such a little character and I taught him to talk! Favourite phrase - "What are you doing?"


  • What are your social media links?


  •  Email: profound_feline@hotmail.com



    Twitter: @profound_feline   /   Profound Feline 



     Instagram: @profound_feline   /   Profound Feline



    Pinterest: @profound_feline    /   Profound Feline



    I would love to get in contact with you, just add me!


  • What advice do you have for new bloggers?

  • Write from the heart, with passion, be kind, and aspire to be the best you can be.


    I hope you have enjoyed reading a little about me. If you would like to be Liebster Award Nominated........


    I TAG YOU!

    100 Subscribers - THANKYOU from me to you!

    Hello everyone,

    This is a special post to thank each and everyone one of you! 

    Over the weekend I noticed that I had reached 100 beautiful subscribers! When I began this blog in November last year I felt like an absolute novice and honestly quite daunted by all the wonderful blogs that I would visit and read each day. I was unsure that people would even want to read what I wrote. But, one thing that I have discovered is that people in the blogging community are those special gems in society!

    I appreciate each comment and kind word, (I read them all) and they honestly make me smile. I've found blogging is a great way to feel connected with other like minded people whether it be in Australia or worldwide. It’s bizarre how I feel like I know some of you when we’ve never even met. So, thank you for reading what I write and interacting with my blog, it makes my heart happy!


    A very special thank you to those who have nominated me for awards – they certainly lifted me up and kept me going. The first award I received was the One Lovely Blog Award from Nadya at Beauty Is Effortless . The Versatile Blogger Award by Carmen at La Makeup Posa . Then the Liebster Blog Awards from Lauren who blogs at Lauren's MAC Affair and Victoria from The Little Fogey. Love you girls! x


    A BIG THANK YOU you to all you lovely subscribers and readers who have encouraged and supported me on my journey





    If your thinking of subscribing or just want to say hi, the links are in the sidebar to the right   ------->>>

    It would be great to hear from you! :)
