New Lush Stuff!

Ok. So I may have a little problem developing here....

After dabbling in the Lush Christmas offerings I have become rather fond of enjoying a Lush bath. Having used the last of my Gingerbread House I felt I could treat myself to some new bath treats. 

Leap Frog Bath Bomb with his big red pout was an impulse buy based on looks alone! His lips are soft and made of a different substance than his body, I guess it contains some of the oils and maybe a moisturising butter. It smells of jasmine and rose, I like the scent but I'm not amazed by it. It looks good in my bathroom though! The Leap Frog was a limited edition for Valentines so "hop" along soon if you want one!

Excuse the chunk taken out of my Dorothy Bubble Bar as I have already used it! I was attracted by the vibrant blue colour and the uplifting rainbow perched on top! Very appropriate for Spring! I prefer Bubble Bars to Bath Bombs, I think they are better value as they have more uses and I especially love this one as it smells exactly like a Lush shop! One of my favourite smells! It turned my bath a light blue which I enjoyed and the smell was lovely but not lingering.

This the Yuzu and Cocoa Bubbleroon, I believe the Bubbleroons are new to Lush and this is one of three. It smells of coconut straight away and it feels soft which will be the Shea butter. I hope it's very moisturising which means I can live with the sweet smell which I'm not completely in love with. (Anyone else think it looks like a rudey bum?! Just me then?!)

Lovely Jubblies is a firming cream for your boobies. I've heard positive comments about this cream and was keen to try it after losing weight my jubblies have shrunk a little however they are not small by any stretch! I like the floral smell and the cream itself contains lots of oils for help moisturise the delicate skin. It contains ingredients to help firm the skin. I have only used it a couple of times so I can't comment on it's effects just yet but I will continue to use it up. I was surprised at the price, it was £15.75 for a 100g pot which is fairly small however the cream goes a long way in a fairly small area, depending on your size obviously!

Finally a real hero product from Lush, Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter. I have purchased this in the past and I still have the pot however it is a year out of date, and although I'm sure it's fine it's full of fresh ingredients so newer is better! I have suffered badly with sore cuticles this year and really needed to treat them. Obviously it smells of lemons but it contains lots of oils mixed with beeswax that effortlessly melts into any dry areas, cuticles, toes or elbows! I noticed a huge difference in one night of use.

Despite finding some gems here I'm not a Lush junkie yet however I'm keen to go back to Lush soon to have a look at the Mothers Day offerings, I think they have new Bubble Bars, my fave!

Gingerbread House Party

After I dipped my toes (geddit?!) into my first Lush Bath Melts last week I really wanted to try another from the Christmas ranges. I popped in on Christmas Eve to get a couple more to pamper myself with after a tough day at work and because my feet were killing me!

I bought another Melting Snowman, a Lil' Lish Pud which smells identical to the snowman and the one I really wanted, the Gingerbread House bubble bar.

How cute is it?!

I love the little cinnamon chimney and the snow covered roof with the hundreds and thousands sprinkled all over! The first thing I noticed is that it's a lot softer than the others, I crumbled some of this one into my bath, it didn't need cutting. It smells sweet but not sickly, I can't stand anything with too much vanilla or sweetness in a scent. I can't pinpoint a particular fragrance in it, it's not spicy ginger which is what I was expecting more the sweet smell of a ginger nut biscuit!

It turned my bath water a murky orangey colour but the white bubbles hid that a bit! It left my skin soft but I didn't feel I was moisturised like the Melting Snowman which contains cocoa and shea butter. I suppose I bought this one more for it's looks and it's Christmas nostalgia than it's effects but I really enjoyed it and it was a lovely way to end my Christmas Eve!

P.S Slightly gutted to realise they are now in the sale! I could have waited and got more!! Maybe I will!

A Lush Christmas Bath

I was recently inspired to make a little trip to Lush after seeing lots of videos on their Christmas ranges. I became very jealous of those with the special Christmas carrier bag with the candy cane handles and I wanted to skip away from the shops sporting one of these bags myself!

Now I'm not normally a Lush shopper, I've dabbled but I've never been committed to them. Not really knowing what I was going in for, I picked up and sniffed the first few products I came across and I hit the jackpot straight away!

I picked up this sad fella, the Melting Snowman Bath Melt. He smelt of vanilla and with a hint of marzipan, not normally my kind of fragrance but I was drawn in nonetheless. He has real chocolate chips resting on his melted body and a big chunk of real ginger on his head. 

I used his head for my first bath, it turned my bath milky and I will confess I wasn't a huge fan of the fragrance. 

As it fizzed away in the bath it released coco butter and shea butter to moisturise my skin. I sunk into the bath and really started to enjoy the fragrance and my skin was silky soft when I got out also the warming scent of the butters lasted on my skin and it was noticed that I smelt nice! I will definitely go back to get a couple more of these I really enjoyed this bath melt, I split it into three and have used it all up! The Melting Snowman was £1.95 - Link!

Secondly I picked up this bad boy!

The Satsumo Santa! It's massive! This one smells heavily of citrus but what sold it to me was the assistant told me he was full of essential oils and of course because its a Father Christmas!

I chopped off his head and threw it in the bath I was slightly alarmed to see this...

Not the most relaxing bathroom scene! Fortunately this red mess shortly turned into a lovely pinky orange water,

The orange flower fragrance was strong and pleasant and the bergamot and mandarin oils left my skin soft with a lovely sheen. Overall I didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous one and I'm not sure I'd buy another. The Satsumo Santa Bath Bomb was £2.95 - Link!

I'm very keen to go back this week and try the Gingerbread House Bubble Bar and get a couple of Melting Snowmen. Do you have any recommendations?!
