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 hello hello!

I am so excited, because today is the day where I show you what I got from the Lush Valentine's day collection! (Hint, almost everything).


First of all is the Ladybird Bubble Bar. How cute is she? I watched a video where someone used this with the Rose Bombshell Bath Bomb, so I might try that...



I fiiiinally got my hands on a Roller Bath Bomb! I swear, these sell out in like seconds when they come on the Lush Kitchen. So when I saw that they were selling it online as part of the Valentine's day range, I had to snap it up... Since using Never Mind The Ballistics, I am loving the half melt half bath bomb thing, it makes your skin feel lovely!


Next up is Cupid. This bath bomb is actually pretty small, but I guess that is reflected in the price also.



Lover Lamp is one that I am eager to try because of the Cocoa Butter and Vanilla Absolute in there, but when I melt it I was kind of disappointed? I love the little hearts in there though.



Next is Two Hearts Beating As One. This is a Luxury Bath Oil, so it's a bit more than the standard £2 ones, BUT you can get 2 baths with this I reckon due to it pulling apart. I mix my oils in cocktails anyway so I will definitely get 2 baths from this.


This is the Love You, Love You Lots Soap. This has Rose Petal Infusion in there so it smells lovely! I'm a sucker for rose smells....


This Kiss Me Quick Wash Card was sold out online! But I went to a store near my uni, and they had loads in stock, so I picked one up. The lady who served me said that it lathers up really well. I'm interested to see how it works because I've never used a wash card before!


Bein the sucker I am for massage bars, I got the Love Spell bar. I reckon the little hearts that stick ot will feel really nice, like the balls on the hottie massage bar.


I think this is so cute! It looks like an emoji haha! This is the Lovestruck Bubble Bar. I'm not sure on the smell, it has lemon oil in there, but i'm not sure I can smell it? I have been ill recently though, so maybe I should smell it when I am 100% better.


Next is one of my faaaave bath bombs! Okay, so Rose Bombshell was one of the first bath bombs I bought from Lush, when it was in the old style of the white ballistic, I'm pretty sure I still have one of those haha! But I always get some because I think it smells so gorgeous. I'm going to pick up a couple more, and I plan to mix them with the Ladybird Bubble Bar and Rose Jam Bubble Bar.



I already tried Over and Over before my package came! I smelt it in store and fell in love, it's got a very citrus smell, and like I said before, I love the half melt half bath bombs. For this second one I have, I might buy a Brightside Bubble Bar and mix it with that.


Of course, I got two Unicorn Horn Bubble Bars. I LOVE unicorns, so why wouldn't I????


Last but not least, I got the Prince Charming Shower Cream. I took a bit of a gamble on this and bought the 250g. I kinda wish I'd got the 100g to be honest... Because of the marshmallow and vanilla, I thought I was going to love this, much like Snow Fairy, but I'm not sure, there's something in it that I'm not keen on, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

You can check out the range on Lush's website here! But remember they are exclusive to Valentine's day, so be quick!

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!
