Lush Haul

A few weeks ago I took it upon myself to top up my current Lush box as it was starting to get a bit low... that's my excuse if anyone asks... 

Firstly, I picked up my all time favourite bubble bar, The Comforter. It smells amazing! It is packed with Cassis absolute which makes it smell so berrylicious, along with bergamot oil and cypress oil to make it super luxurious. It's a massive bubble bar so it lasts a good few baths. If you haven't tried it, you need this in your life!

Next up, another bubble bar, it is SUPER pretty and it's a fricking Unicorn horn! I feel like this is a cult Lush lover item and I am definitely a lover. As soon as I saw my local store had received a delivery I got down there as soon as I could. It is packed with Neroli and Lavender, but mainly looks sooo amazing.

Next I got two things I'm going to use together. I had seen a video on Insta that my local store had put up and they had named Luxury Dream. It was so stunning, a dark, glittery heaven. So I asked one of the very helpful ladies to get my hands on what they used to make it. Here I have the Blackberry bath bomb and Sunnyside. 

Blackberry is filled with Bergamot and Frankincence, whilst Sunnyside is a glitter lovers dream and is what gives it the sparkle as well as being packed with Tangerine, Lemon and Wild Orange Oils.

As soon as I get round to trying this combo I will be sure to stick it on Insta.

Lastly, I was very lucky to receive a free sample of the Plum Rain shower gel. This smells insane. It is filled with real plum juice, sicilian mandarin oil along with carrageenan seaweed to soften your skin. I am honestly in love with this shower gel, it does everything it says on the tin, and leaves my skin smelling and feeling amazing. I will definitely be purchasing this next time I pop in.

What are your favourite Lush products? Let me know. 

Much Love,

Lush blogger event

A few weeks ago I was very kindly invited to Lush Tunbridge Wells for their blogger event to have a sneaky peek at the new Mother Day range. (sorry this is late- who knew how long and exhausting moving was!)

I wasn't sure what to expect as it was my first, but everyone was super welcoming.
We got split into two groups and first off my group were shown the new products. We were given demos on each one, and able to take all the pics we wanted as well as try them if we wanted.

My absolute faves were the Scrubee moisturising bar, Honey Lip Scrub and Mum bath bomb.

The Scrubee literally smells like heaven, I can't tell you how good it smells. It has honey and cocoa butter in it and oh em gee it's delish! One of the girls tried it and her skin felt amazing. Definitely one to try out, plus it's super cute!

The Mum bath bomb was the first we saw and smells super citrusy, very fresh without being overpowering. Plus a perfect gift for Mums who love a bit of relaxation!

Lastly, the Honey lip scrub. Now, I love a good Lush lip scrub as much as the next person and have made many friends and family avid lovers also. This is by far my favourite. It genuinely smells of honey and it makes me super happy that once I use it to get my lips super smooth I get to lick it off!
I had to purchase one of these as I couldn't have left without it!

Once the demos were done, we had some fruit iced tea and a gorgeous cake made by a local cafe 'Souper Juice'. Just look at it! All the glitter!!! (To be honest... I originally thought it was a Lush soap!)
Whilst we all munched away we got to watch a video of where Lush get their almonds from and also found out that what they don't use in products gets used to make bio fuel. Every little helps and all that jazz!

Back into our groups again and now we got to make our very own facial cleanser, Angels on Bare Skin.

We all took it in turns to add and mix the ingredients wearing extremely snazzy blue gloves 😂
And the cluts that I am got one of the ingredients, Kaolin all over me... which typically is basically a white powder!
We then got to draw our very own lush cartoon person and label it up as they would do when packaging the products.

Overall it was an amazing experience, the girls in lush were super lovely, as were the rest of the bloggers invited and I can't wait for the next one!

Click here for a short video on the evening. It also shows how the bubble bars and bombs look when mixed with water.

I Love Lush... Is it obvious?

So as you may have seen from my previous post... I had a little spree in Lush...
I love it a little too much I feel... Well I don't, but my housemate is constantly falling over bath bombs, and bubble bars trying to get into the bath... oops!

I had some money left on a gift card my Dad gave me back in February for my Birthday so I decided I wanted to get some products that I hadn't tried before to see if I ended up with any new favourites.

The first one that I spotted was Northern Lights.

I love purple, and I love the little stars embedded within this bomb. It has Jasmin Absolute and Ylang Ylang Oil in it, and smells amazing. I'm looking forward to putting this in my bath to see what happens!



Next was the Avobath,

I LOVE Avocado a lot a lot! So when I saw this one, I had to get it. It smells so different to the usual Lush smells I'm used to. Fresher!
It says to use this one in the morning rather than the evening and it's aim is to tackle dryness and skin dehydration using the avocado and olive oil.



Look how cute Butter bear is!

You can smell the cocoa butter in this a dream and smells kind of vanillary too. Cocoa Butter is amazing for your skin and has so many benefits including being really nourishing.



Oh No! His nose fell off! Poor Melting Snowman!

This smells similar to the Butter Bear but has a hint of Cinnamon and Orange. Yum! I love that it has a Christmassy scent to it. Perfect for this time of year. It's gonna make my skin soooo soft!


Sex Bomb, Sex Bomb, You're my Sex Bomb...

This is one that I have tried before... but was a long time ago now! So I think it can safely be in this haul. It's an old favourite for many, its very pretty to look at, and I love the rose detail in the middle on the top.
It has similar ingredients to Northern Lights with the added bonus of Clary Sage Oil which is what helps you relax. I have teamed this one up with part of the Comforter crumbled up with it previously and that was amazing! I might try it on its own though to get the full effect.

GLITTER!!!!!!

Woweee this is suuuper glittery and this makes me very happy with life. It smells lovely and I am more than happy to be covered in gold glitter to smell this. It has Juniperberry, Grapefruit and Lime oils to make this the awesome scented bubble bar it is.


Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeeeeeer...

I feel like I should be singing a mash up of Rudolph and Jingle Bell Rock whilst I type this...
Reindeer Rock is the first soap I have ever purchased. Well... not ever... I do wash! Just from Lush!
The lovely lady in my local shop introduced me to it after me explaining that my favourite product is The Comforter. She tempted me over saying it smelt similar and I could use this whilst in a bath filled with Comforter bubbles... How could I say no?!
It has Lingonberry and Cassis Absolute mixed in with lots of other yummy ingredients... I can't even... Oh my!

I Hope you have enjoyed my mini Lush haul. I certainly have!

Can you recommend any Lush products you would say are you're go to product?!

Much Love,

Lush Loving 💜

Hi guys, so I said I was going to do a Lush review of a few products I've recently purchased. I got a gift card for my Birthday this year and wanted to try a few new things with it so this is what I got.

Facemasks:

I picked up two of the fresh facemasks, Cupcake and Catastrophic as I like what they said they could do to help my skin, plus they smelt really good.
After using them both, (hideous pictures below to amuse you!)

 I have to say that I definately prefer the Cupcake one. I just feel that I could see the benefits more with it, plus it didnt make my skin feel dry.

This is definately a re-purchase!

However, my mum preferred Catasrophe so used it up for me!

Lips:

I went to Australia in January for my friends wedding and was going to miss her hen do so I thought I would buy her a few Lush products to soften the blow as I was Maid of Honour... I popped in quickly as I had 5 minutes before leaving for the airport.
I've always loved Lush lip balms as they smell amazing but had never tried the lip scrubs. I had a very helpful sales lady and she showed me the bubblegum flavour and the popcorn flavour. I decided on the pretty pink bubblegum one as thought my friend would prefer this.
For anyone who hasnt tried the scrubs, you basically rub it on and then lick it off!
I was in Oz for 3 weeks, and between us, we nearly used it up! Fair to say I brought one for myself as soon as I could! I am still loving it now, although am using it less regularly than I did in Oz otherwise I would be constantly be buying it. I think it really does the job as well as tasting amazing and it is definatley one to try!

Bath Stuff:

I have been buying a lot of bath bombs and bubble bars recently but the product that have really stuck in my mind has been the Comforter. 

I really enjoyed using this as it wasnt just one use, I just kept breaking bits off to use as and when, and I loved this because I hate using things up straight away with just one bath especially if I like them!

What are your favourite Lush products at the moment?

Much Love
