Hello everyone!
I'm sorry for the massive gap in blog posts, several things have been to blame fit it but I'm not going to get into that and just get on with the post! As we're now in November and it's getting a lot colder and the nights are drawing in I am having a lot more baths to help me relax after a long day. Baths are one of my favourite things about the winter time, baths with Lush products in particular! Lush is possibly one of my favourite shops all year round but especially when it gets that little bit colder and they bring out their 'Holiday' collection with all their halloween and christmas inspired products. As soon as they released the collections on their website, I was on there for a sneak peak before I went into the shop planning on getting some old favourites and also trying lots of the products that were new this year. I may have gotten a little overwhelmed when I went into the shop and come out with a rather large, rather heavy bag full of stuff. So, on with the haul!
The first pieces in my little (or large) Lush haul are two shower gels and some 'fun'. I think, although I'm not sure, that all three of these products were brand new for christmas this year. 'So White Shower Gel' was an absolute must for me because of the scent, It has the same fragrance as the So White bath bomb - fresh apples. It is one of my favourite smells from Lush. The shower gel itself has really tiny bits of shimmer, but doesn't leave your skin shimmery after using it. The other shower gel is 'Hot Toddy Showel Gel'. This is basically christmas in a bottle, it just smells like christmas, fullstop. Again, this has a bit of a shimmer to it but doesn't stay on your skin once washed off. The third product, the 'Gold Fun' is something that I have always wanted to try but have just never bought it. This gold coloured one is a limited edition one for christmas and it smells absolutely gorgeous, just like honeycomb. Basically the inside of a Crunchie chocolate bar. I love that this is a dual purpose product that can be used as a shampoo, body wash or bubble bar, and also like play dough to create little models!
This next little lot are all bubble bars. I was slow to jump of the bubble bar band wagon but as soon as I did, I never got off! Unlike bath bombs, these can be broken apart and used multiple times. On average I get 3-4 uses from the bubble bars although some of the bigger ones you can get up to 6 baths out of, making them great value as well as making your bath both look and smell amazing. 'The Christmas Hedgehog' is a both and bubble bar and bath melt in one. I am not a fan of bath melts because I feel that they tend to leave an oily residue on my skin that I really don't like. but as this isn't solely a bath melt, I thought I would give it ago. Plus it is extremely cute! 'Drummers Drumming' bubble bar smells amazing, like strawberries and cream according to Lush, and acts as a mini drum, so you can make music while you have a bath too! 'Holly Golightly' is probably my favourite product from this haul. Everytime I smell this all I think is 'christmas'. It has a very spicy scent, perfect for the festive season and is covered in this gorgeous silver glitter. 'Sparkly Pumpkin' bubble bar is another gorgeous glitter covered bar and has a classic Lush, really fresh scent.
Last, are the bath bombs, my favourite products to buy from Lush. I love the way that they move around the bath and create all the different colours. 'So White' is an old favourite of mine. It looks really boring on the outside, just plain white, but it smells of fresh apples which is amazing and on the inside it is different shades of pink. 'Luxury Lush Pud' fast became one of my all time favourite Lush products when it came out last year. It turns your bath an amazing rainbow of colours and the spicy scent is just to die for. 'Dashing Santa' is a new bomb out this year, and I was told in the shop that it has been designed carefully so that the yellow parts are a sort of 'super fizzer' which propel the bath bomb round the bath so it literally is a dashing Santa! 'Cinders' is again an old favourite. I love the spicy scent and it has popping candy which is always amazing. The 'Father Christmas' bath bomb is a must when it comes to this time of year, you can't have christmas without the man himself can you! If I can remember rightly, the inside of this is a deep green colour. This is another spicy smelling one. 'Lord of Misrule' , although it has been out before, is another one that I have never tried. I bought this, again for the spicy scent but also for the fact that it is a gorgeous deep red wine colour on the inside which I thought was really festive.
What are your favourite Lush products?
