Hello!

Today I have another Lush haul! And there will probably be another one soon as well because the Easter range is out this week :D and seeing as I didn't get all of the Mother's Day range, I think I might pick up a couple of other things that I have since wanted to try since the launch.

Originally this was going to be just a Mother's Day haul (hence the initial photo) but then I got a few other things that I thought I would include too!

First of all is this HUMONGOUS bath bomb called Mother Earth. It's actually an enlarged version of the World Piece bath bomb which is sometimes on the kitchen. Just look at the size of it next to my hand! My grandad actually took a hacksaw to this and managed to get me 3 good chunks out of it for 3 baths! It smells really minty, I think I'm going to pair it with the Ladybird bubble bar from the Valentine's Day range as they have similar smells.

Next up is Ups-A-Daisy bath bomb. This has rosewood oil and rose absolute in it, although I don't quite smell that? Maybe it will smell better in the bath, but I definitely like the half and half colouring!

Next is Baa Bar. People have said this smells of Parma Violets but I can't smell it?? Which is disappointing because they are one of my favourite sweets :( I just smell lavender. While I think the design is cute, I doubt I'll get any more of these because if I want lavender bubbles I can just get A French Kiss bubble bar or use my Twilight shower gel.

This is Scrubee. And he is my favourite thing EVER. This little body butter bar has fast become one of my holy grails - I have 3 already. It smells of honey, of course, and has just the right mix of exfoliation and conditioning that I was looking for. If only Lush would make this a regular line...

Yummy Mummy shower cream has also become one of my holy grails! I hadn't used this before this year, but I now have 3 bottles of it... I love it so much! It smells of strawberries, and is my favourite clour, what's not to love?! It has joined the heights of Happy Hippy and Snow Fairy as one of my favourite shower gels/creams.

Next is Pink Custard shower jelly. I accidentally ordered a bigger size of this than I intended, and have since sold it as I didn't like the smell that much, and I don't use jelly's all to often either. Some have said it smells of Twilight, but all I got was plastic... definitely a miss for me!

From the kitchen I also got this Lemon Melt shower gel, which I have also sold. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the smell of this, it reminds me of lemon curd, but I knew I wouldn't use it that much as I like shower gels to be in a squeezy bottle not a pot, I think it would have just been too difficult to use.

Next I got my usual face scrub, Ocean Salt. This is so good at scrubbing away any dry, flaky skin on my face, but it doesn't dry my skin out! This is the second pot of it that I've had, I find it's great at getting off any scraps of foundation I may have missed the night before, and it's also amazing at scrubbing off any hair dye that I've accidentally got on my face!

I got on of my favourite face masks, Cup O'Coffee. This softly exfoliates my skin and I love how it feels once I've washed it off. I do love Rosy Cheeks as well, but that has to be kept in the fridge, unlike this coffee delight, so I often forget that I have a tub and it goes to waste :(

For dying my hair I got a tin of Ultrabalm. This is basically Lush's version of Vaseline, and is great for making a barrier on your skin to stop dye from staining it. You can also put it on any dry skin and lips. Doesn't smell great though...

On eBay (2 different sellers) I picked these up!

Firstly I got Twilight, Rose Jam and Yummy Mummy 100g bottles, as I was running out of the christmas shower gels and hadn't stocked up! And because Yummy Mummy... And then I got another bottle of Yummy Mummy and it's partner bath bomb, Roller.

The last few things I got were from the kitchen. I got 2 patches, one that says "Taking bout my regeneration" and one that says "Change the record" to put on my "Fighting animal testing" tote bag, and a "The hunts are still at it tshirt" to protest hunting!

I hope you enjoyed this post, I feel the need to mention that I didn't buy all of these in one go, but over a few times! 

I'll see you in the next post!

Hello!

Today I am finally bringing you my Lush Halloween Haul! I bought all of these the day they came out, but I have been so so busy with uni and work that I just haven't had chance to post this.

I got everything in the range, and the background I used for this post is the Moon Phases Knot Wrap, which is a Halloween knot wrap!

I'm sure you've all seen these by now, but I thought I would share anyway haha.

First up is the Lord of Misrule Shower Cream. This has black pepper corn and patchouli oil in it and has such a rich smell that is just perfect for Autumn.

Next up is the Pumpkin Bath Bomb. I have already used this, I mixed it with The Magic of Christmas Bubble Bar and I loved it!! I strongly recommend that bath cocktail.

The other pumpkin design is the Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar. This has grapefruit, lime and juniper berry in it and smells absolutely amazing Not to mention, I love all that glitter on it!

This cutie is the Boo Bath Melt. He smells like ginger which is unusual but he's packed with cocoa butter which is really good for softening the skin.

I cannot wait to try this Autumn Leaf Bath Bomb because the colours look awesome! It also shares its scent with the grass shower gel, and I also think it might go nicely with the Green Bubbleroon (if you can find any left, that is).

This is Monster's Ball, and it smells beautiful! His eye is also made of cocoa butter so he's really good for the skin too.

Next up is me as a soap. Haha. This is the Fireside Soap, which has clove bud and  vanilla inside of it, as well as chestnut flour. It really does remind me of being around a fire.

The other soap in the Halloween launch is the Magic Wand Soap. It has charcoal around the outside which is a natural absorbent, but also smells really citrusy and refreshing.

This is also me. Goth Fairy Shimmer Bar. I absolutely love this. it has gold, green, purple and silver lustre, and moisturises at the same time as giving you a glittery glow!

Finally is the Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb. This is being kept on until Christmas which I'm excited about because I definitely want to get more than one! It has the same scent as the Shower Cream, but it also has popping candy inside! It also turns the water into a really creepy blood red.

Let me know if you've picked any of these up, and keep your eyes peeled for a Lush Christmas Haul coming soon!

Hello!

Today I have another Lush haul!! Now, if you've ever read my blog before (hi, thank you for coming back, I really do appreciate it) then you will know that I am OBSESSED with Lush. I don't know what it is, but I just absolutely love their stuff! And whenever I venture onto their website, I end up finding a load of stuff that I want, so this time I just caved. I ordered mainly bath bombs this time round, as the creams last forever! So let's get into it!

First of all, is the Shades of Earl Grey Massage Bar.

I got given this from a friend, so I don't feel so guilty about it :P It smells amazing, but I haven't tried it yet because I was saving it for this post, but I've heard good reviews!

Next up is a recent favourite of mine, the Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment Bath Oil. The smell of this is absolutely divine! I love the sweeter smelling products from Lush, so this is perfect for me. It (obviously) smells very marshmallowy, which is great because I can't eat them anymore. It turns your bath a yellowy/pink, and actually takes time to disperse which I like because I hate it when products just kinda fizzle out straight away. And at £2, it's a bargain!

Next up is the bath bombs that I bought. First of all is the Butterball Bath Bomb. I got this because I want to make a cocktail (which I'm thinking of making a post about at a later date, combining all the cocktails I make). This one is a very simple smell, which I like because some days you don't really want an over powering smell, so it makes a nice change.

Next is the Think Pink Bath Bomb. Yet another sweet product, which I love. I've been wanting to try this for some time now, so I'm hoping it is worth the wait! I love the little flowers on the top, they almost look like candy.

Sakura is literally one of my total faves from Lush. The perfume scent of this is absolutely gorgeous, I love using this on days where I'm feeling a bit meh, as the scent and the simplicity of the colours in the bath combined just make me feel a lot better.

Now onto bubble bars! I've only just recently been getting into the bubble bars, I really liked bath bombs for a long time because of the pretty colours, but you can't beat a good old bubble bath. I bought this one, Sunnyside Bubble Bar in particular because I'm going to mix it with my Big Blue bath bomb to make the Mermaid Cocktail! I'm so excited for this because I've watched videos and it looks so pretty, and it's been a while since I used a glitter.

Next is the Creamy Candy Bubble Bar. I bought this because I think it's quite similar to Think Pink, and that they would make a nice combination. It's another sweet smelling product, but the thing I love about bubble bars is that you can get more than one bath out of them.

I (finally) got the Milky Bath Bubble Bar! This is such a simple product, and one that I've always wanted to try since it came out but I just haven't bought. Like I said earlier, it's nice to have a change from all the overpowering scents, and I strangely really like the smell of milk, is that weird?

My last bubble bar is a Lush Kitchen Exclusive, (the first exclusive I have bought!) and it is the Two Timing Tart Bubble Bar. I tend to not buy things online if I don't know what they smell of it, for example, I thought that the Dream Time Bath Oil was an amazing idea, until I smelt it in store and I hated it. But I took the plunge, as I've never ordered from the kitchen before, and to be honest, I kinda regret it. The texture of this isn't like any other bubble bar I've had, it's really waxy which is strange. And the scent isn't that great either, it kind of reminds me of the dried dog food my dogs used to have. 

But hey ho, it might smell differently in the bath, and I got one of the Lush Kitchen Polaroids which is pretty cool.

The last thing that I bought is the Rosy Cheeks face mask. This smells so good, and I can understand why it has sold out before. My favourite was the Sacred Truth face mask, as I have very dry skin on my face, but Oatifix just seemed to dry it out even more. But now they've stopped making The Sacred Truth, so I had to find another mask. I tried this just because I wanted to, I got a sample when I went to the Lush in Oxfrod Street, but it turned out to work quite well, so I ordered a full tub of it. And now I have nearly enough tubs to take to my local Lush and claim 2 face masks!!

Finally, I got a sample of the Feeling Younger Skin Tint. This is gorgeous. Seriously, I am in love. I use this as a highlighter, and I am one of those people who like to GLOW. This offers an amazing glow, and is quite an unusual peachy colour, which works well with my pale skin (I often go for golds as I feel pink is just a bit too light on me). I am definitely going to buy the full version of this, but it may be a while yet as a little bit goes a long way with this product!

It's safe to say my Lush drawer (yes, I said drawer) is looking very full right now, and I can't wait to delve into all the new products I have to try!

I hope this has given you some ideas of the products Lush has to offer, and maybe helped you decide on some things you would like to try. I definitely recommend Sakura and Rosy Cheeks, they have to be two of my "holy grails".

Thanks for reading, and I'll see you next time!
