A festive lush haul...






Lush launched their festive products the other day; halloween, bonfire night and christmas! I couldn’t help but make a small purchase and opted for some limited edition and all year round favourites. I love buying things from Lush, they make your whole room smell lovely.

I usually place a huge online order around this time of the year and that lasts for a year but I thought I would only buy a few things this time and then make purchases throughout the year. 

I won’t bother listing all the ingredients because I don’t want to bore you so I will just tell you my thoughts of each and will link to their site too.

So White, shower gel. £4.50/100g (limited edition)
Last year I purchased countless amounts of the So White bath ballistic, it is my ultimate favourite. This year they introduced a shower gel form too, so I opted for that instead. The So White products smell like green apples, quite crisp. The shower gel contains a little shimmer, nothing noticeable. I can’t help but want to buy some more So White bath ballistics, they are plain white and don’t do anything to the water but the smell is lovely!

It’s Raining Men, shower gel. £4.50/100g
This is another favourite of mine which I have used so many times. This shower gel smells of honey and is quite moisturising. It is advertised as being suitable to use on the hair too but I found it quite drying. I don’t normally like honey scented products but because this one is quite sweet smelling it’s more preferable to me.

Candy Mountain, bubble bar. £2.75 (limited edition)
If you like sweet smells, similar to that of candy floss then this is something you will love. The Candy Mountain bubble bar is designed to be melted underneath tap water, the smell is similar to that of Rockstar soap. It smells of sweets.

Butter Bear, bath bomb. £1.95
This is a newbie for me, I have heard so much about Butterball and they are quite similar apparently. Again this doesn’t do anything exciting but it does contain cocoa butter which moisturises your skin. There is a very subtle vanilla fragrance too!

Cinders, bath bomb. £2.50 (limited edition)
I stocked up on these last year! The Cinders bath bomb is quite spicy; it smells very festive. The Cinnamon notes really stand out along with hints of orange. The popping candy sprinkled over the top make a cute addition.

Think Pink, bath bomb. £2.65
This is another newbie, the pink bath bomb leaves all the water white as well as small bits of confetti. I love the style of this bath bomb, the vibrant pink is offset by the 3 cute little flowers in the center. The scent is that of vanilla and caramel; it smells cosy and comforting. 

Rockstar, soap. £3.40/100g
My all time favourite soap from Lush, I have lost count of how many times I have purchased this, that’s how much I love it! The soap smells identical to Candy floss, very sugary and thoroughly moisturising. It also lathers very nicely. 

Vanillary, solid perfume. £7
This is the first time I am trying one of their perfumes, I opted for the solid perfume version which was the cheapest at £7 for 12g but they do sell it bottled. I love vanilla scented things and thought this would be great to wear o a daily basis. I am a little unsure on the scent, it smells a bit like play dough and doesn’t last more than about 40 minutes on the skin. I don’t know if this is because it was a solid perfume, might have to pop in store and see the bottled version.

So thats that. It feels like proper Autumn now that the Lush goodies have arrived! Have you placed a Lush order?

  11. I recently used the Think Pink bath bomb and I loved it! The new Christmas collection looks gorgeous, there's so many things I wanna buy from it and one of them is the Butterbear you have also selected. The solid perfume is really interesting, I had no idea they did that, but I must check it out next time! x
