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?

LUSH favourites!

I love Lush, as do most people. There is nothing more satisfying than a bubble bath after a long day. One of the main reasons I adore Lush so much is because the majority of the ingredients they use are natural. There items are also reasonably priced.

I will be making my usual visit to Lush very soon and every time I do I spend a good few minutes inspecting the website and the Lush newspaper. Today was no different so I thought I would compile a list of a few regular items I buy;

Rockstar soap £3.40/100g

The Rockstar soap is a firm favourite of mine, it smells very similar to Candy Rock you get from the seaside. This sweet smelling soap contains vanilla pods which helps create the sweet aroma. If you have tried the Candy Cane bubble bar it smells very similar to that but slightly stronger. It lathers up very creamy and leaves your skin feeling smooth!

Love Lettuce face mask £5.95/75g

The first time I used this mask I requested a sample a while a go and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Love Lettuce face mask consists mainly of seaweed gel, honey and almond oil, this softens and thoroughly moisturise the skin. This mask also exfoliates the face with almond shells and smells very clean and refreshing as it contains lavender. This mask makes your face glow a lot! Because of the nature of the product this face mask needs to be refrigerated and has a much shorter shelf life than the other products.

Butterball bath bomb £2.50

This was one of the first bath bombs I ever purchased from Lush; did I use it? Nope. I used all the bright coloured ones first for some reason. How wrong was I? This one is now my all time favourite. Lush Bath Bombs fizz up when placed in water, but interestingly some of the bath bombs contain real roses inside! This one in particular contains small fragments of cocoa butter which leaves your skin feeling super moisturised and refreshed. I absolutely love the smell of this product. It is also vanilla fragranced - even better!  I am not surprised this is one of Lush’s best sellers!

The Comforter bubble bar £4.50

This huuugggeee bubble bar is oozing with black current goodness. It smells like Ribena, for real! Bubble bars are great because you can get more than one use from it, under a running tap just crumble a bit into the water. This particular bubble bar turns the water pink and foamy! It feels luxurious and moisturises the skin throughly. This aptly named product actually does what it suggests, it comforts and reassures you with the help of all the ingredients packed in it.

I thoroughly enjoy the Christmas products that come out, they always smell absolutely gorgeous! I would have to say the Christmas products are definitely my most favourite out of all the holiday collections! I am so excited to see what products they come out with this year.

Thats it for my ultimate favourites! I love trying out new products, please let me know which are your faves in the comments.

LUSH Sugar Lip Scrub review

Do you have a sweet tooth? This product might serve you a dual purpose…

The LUSH sugar lip scrub is a product I have been using for over a year now. I have never come across anything like it. This lip scrub titled ‘Sweet Lips’ contains vanilla and chocolate flavouring and as soon as you open it this is quite evident. As well as containing all natural ingredients it is also suitable for vegans. The idea behind this lip scrub is that it does just that, scrubs all the dead skin off your lips and leaves the super smooth and moisturised. But the extra treat this encloses is that it is edible. yummy!

The LUSH sugar lip scrub retails at £5.25 for 25g. This little jar will last you many many months as you only need the smallest amount. 

Available to purchase at LUSH.
