LUSH SPRING/EASTER HAUL

I have been after the Lush Easter range for a while now, a bath bomb even made it to my Spring Beauty Wish List. I left it so last minute that the bath bomb I really wanted Hoppity Poppity wasn't in stock anymore when I popped into the store, although it's still available online. Never mind there's always next year (hopefully), but these are the product I did manage to get my hands on.
Fluffy Egg Bath Bomb, £2.95 each - This is an absolute Lush Easter classic. This pink egg shaped bath bomb has the same scent as the Snow Fairy shower gel you get at Christmas. I must admit I'm not the biggest fan of the sickly sweet Snow Fairy, but in a bath bomb form it's not as over powering and it's just so pretty not to put in my basket! I love that this one turns your bath water a gorgeous shade of pink and the candy floss scent lingers on your skin. The flower is also a cute touch, if you love sweet scents, you'll love this one. Golden Egg Bath Bomb Melt, £3.75 each - Another one of my favourites. Last year I couldn't get enough of this scent, I think it has to be my favourite scent from all the Easter range. The scent is a lovely honey, toffee, bergamot and sweet, wild orange oils which is just amazing! This bath bomb is covered in glitter, it turns your bath a lovely golden yellow shade and the glitter fills your tub. The bath bomb melt also contains cocoa butter so it's really moisturising on the skin as it just melts away in the bath. I would totally recommend this one, the only problem is cleaning your bath after all that glitter. Ultraviolet Bubble Bar, £4.75 each - A new one for Spring, I brought this one for the gorgeous purple colours. It was a bit pricier than the others but you could cut this up into so many uses. The bubbles it creates scent of violet leaf and jasmine absolutes, I've read reviews saying it reminds them of the parma violet scent. It creates so many bubbles that you don't need to use a lot of it. I do love a good bubble bar!  Secret Garden Bath Bomb, £2.95 each - Another bath bomb that came out for Spring and Mother's Day. This gorgeous floral pink and green bath bomb turns you bath those exact colours and then inside is a bouquet of flower petals which is just a beautiful surprise. The scent of this bath bomb is keeping on the floral theme of rose absolute. This one takes so long to dissolve, which I really like as you know you are getting your money's worth. I would definitely pick up this one again, the oils made my skin feel lovely and soft. Mother Superior Bubble Bar, £3.75 each - Mother Superior is a bubble bar I thought I had missed out on. As it was for Mother's Day, It's not available online anymore but there were a few instore. I love how cute this little bubble bar is, it's adorable - look at that face! It's made with Sicilian lemon and jamine oils, orange and mimoso, so it has a really nice citrus scent and created lots of light blue bubbles.

I just like to go around a Lush store and pick random things up which I haven't tried before. What are your Lush recommendations?

LUSH VALENTINES DAY HAUL

I'm a sucker for a Lush seasonal collection, I always have to make a cheeky purchase when either the Christmas, Halloween or Valentines themed products come around. I'm much more of a bath person so I like to collect bath bombs and bubble bars for pamper evenings or just for a weekend treat! I love that the whole bath experience can be improved by just dropping a little bit of magic into your running tub, they can change the colour of your bath water, add glitter as well a moisturise your skin. As a haven't got a Valentines, it's a nice way to treat yourself come Valentines Day and what better way than pamper products. I decided to pick up some products I haven't tried before.
The first product I had to pick up this time was the Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar. I first saw this on instagram and knew I had to have one for myself. It's so colourful and the tiny multicoloured stars are so cute! You crumble this under warm running water to create amazing bubbles, silver sparkling glitter and it turns your bath water pink. It's packed with essential oils, the main scents are Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Neroli which create an uplifting fragrance. I really enjoyed this product, there was a gentle hint of glitter left on my skin and the bubbles are so luxurious. I wish I had brought a couple more as this isn't on the website anymore. I hope they bring this one back next year, it's so fun and I'm sure kids would love this one.
Another bubble bar I picked up was the Lonely Heart Bubble Bar. I picked this one up for the scent! It contains Lemongrass, Bergamot, Jasmine and Ylang Ylang and smells absolutely dreamy. The bubble bar is the red heart covered in gold glitter and when crumbled under running water it releases lascivious red shades and again the glitter sticks around which is lovely and not too much. I really like bubble bars as you can divide them into quite a few baths and it's good value for money. I like how this one left my skin feeling really soft. I also love the quote, 'lonely hearts still beat the same' that appears on their website.
Next I brought a bath bomb called the Floating Flower Bath Bomb. As the name suggests this bath bomb floats on the top of your water and fizzes away to create a pool full of different shades. The fragrance is quite strong, this one contains Jasmine and Ylang Ylang again, obviously very popular with the Valentines products. This is so pretty to use and I found it very calming on my skin. I also found this one lasted quite a long time in my bath.
The last product I brought was the Love Locket Bath Bomb. I was in two minds in buying this as it is quite pricey for a bath bomb. But you can actually break it up into three pieces as inside the bath bomb is a mini heart-shaped bath bomb which contains tiny red hearts. I guess if you wanted a special bath you would drop the whole bath bomb in. The scent is Geranium, Vanilla and Jasmine and I loved the pink shade it turned my bath water.
I could have brought more items from the Valentines collection, I also had my eye on the Prince Charming Shower Gel and the Heart Throb Bubble Bar, but I do still have products to use up from Christmas.

LUSH CHRISTMAS HAUL

Back in October I made a huge order on the Lush website when all of their Halloween/Christmas Seasonal stock became available, see my Halloween haul here. I decided to try some of the new items from this year which I haven’t tried before. There were quite a few new products which caught my eye this year, in different shapes and scents, which was nice to see as I’m such a big lush fan.

Bath Bombs have to be my favourite Lush products, so Dashing Santa and Butterbear went straight into my basket. Dashing Santa is shaped like Santa and his presents which is designed to move across the water when you place him into your bath. This one smells of satsumas and citrus and it left the water red with gold shimmers which made me feel really Christmassy. The Butterbear bath bomb is just so cute! This has the same vanilla fragrance as the butterball, just in a new teddy bear design. This bath bomb doesn’t give the bath much colour but it has Cocoa Butter in it which is so moisturising on the skin. This is one of the more affordable bath bomb and I would definitely buy it again as I can’t resist the bear shape.

A product I wasn’t too sure of was the Snowman Fun Kit just because I haven’t tried the concept before. I was really surprised of how much I enjoyed using it and have created one snowman so far, you can see him on my instagram here. Hopefully by the end of Christmas I will have a whole snowman family. I’m not sure I would find it as fun if I just had one colour of Fun though. But I really like how you can use it in a number of different ways as shampoo as well as soap. It’s moisturising on the skin and smells great! I’m sure kids would love this, it’s also a great stocking filler.

Another fun product which I have been trying out is the Snowman Shower Jelly. I have tried a shower jelly before after receiving it in a Christmas gift. It wouldn’t of been a product I would normally pick up, but I really enjoyed having something fun to use other than the usual shower gel. I’m really in to its blackcurrant scent and it lingers on my skin for a while after showering. It is a little tricky to keep hold of him during shower time, but I like to break a piece off to avoid any wastage. It does lather up really well though and makes my skin soft and clean.

I also picked up a few bubble bars, I went for Holly Golightly and The Christmas Hedgehog. Holly Golightly is massive and could be broken up into so many pieces to use in separate baths. It’s a shame mine got broken a little in delivery, but it still is lovely to look at. This bubble bar is super glittery on the outside and bright green on the inside. It turns your bath water green and makes so many bubbles, you really get value for money with this one. I’m not quite sure of the Christmas hedgehog, the scent isn’t really my thing. He still makes my skin super smooth, but he doesn’t crumble as easy as other bubble bars do. It is a shame as he is rather cute!

I'm really looking forward to repurchasing a few of my favourite products in the Lush Boxing Day Sales. Have you picked up anything from the Christmas Lush collection?
