All Things Lush!

Recently, my love for Lush has started to become a slight obsession. I've become quite the enthusiast.
I'm almost certain they have some kind of potion that drifts out of the shop and instantaneously drags you in at an uncontrollable force. Their products are so intriguing, which gives me so much more initiative to want to step out of my comfort zone to try something new.
The one section I always make a bee-line for, is the bath bombs. I'm sure 90% of you do too. Lets face it, who doesn't love a good bath?! 

Here's some stuff old and new which I thought I'd have a natter about!



Love Lettuce Fresh Face Mask

So I wanted to start with this, as I am not really one for your average packet face mask. More often than not,  I find packet face masks very claustrophobic and difficult to remove, resulting in never using them but this is the perfect blend of ingredients to relax you and work your skin in one. 
If you have an oily t-zone then I highly recommend this product. It balances out your skin tone with a light exfoliant and leaves you with brighter, cleaner looking skin. 
This mask sits on your skin more than sets, so really it's the best of both worlds.

I recommend putting this on your face before a bath because..
 1. The heat will make the components work much better! 
 2. It has lavender as a key  ingredient/scent so this leaves you feeling extra relaxed.
Alternatively, you could use it before going in the shower and wash it off right at the end,  as it's meant to be left on for a good 10-15 minutes.

This worked really well with my skin and I noticed a difference almost straight away!
This is one of many in their amazing face mask range, each adapting to individual skin types.
100% MUST HAVE.




Bubblegum & Popcorn Lip Scrub

(Excuse the state of them, I've had them quite a while!) 

Okay, these may sound a little bit pricey but they're honestly worth every penny. 
They taste absolutely delicious, and you literally can eat it!!
All you need is a tiny bit on your finger, rub it into the dry/ dead skin on your lips and lick it off, leaving your lips so soft - perfect if you are wanting to apply lipstick with an even smoother look.
Admittedly, I was a little uneasy of the fact that you lick dead skin off your lips, but after trying it, it wasn't anything as gross it sounds!
I wouldn't advise anyone with badly cut/chapped lips uses this, as it can sting.. Unless you are very gentle. Definitely made that mistake the other day! 

One word of warning, make sure you get all the sugar off from your lips and around your mouth, or it can look like you've just eaten a REALLY sugary doughnut, and we all know that's not a good look (unless you're into that of course!)



Christmas Eve Bubble Bar

I KNOW it's not Christmas any more, nor was it in January, but I just had to pick this up and give it a try! 

Little did I actually realise until after these photos were taken, that this is actually a crescent moon. I genuinely thought it was a blue and yellow blob type thing. (There is no hope..) It smelt absolutely delicious, just that Lush type smell! You know after a while when you've smelt so many and they all smell the same..? Well, that happened, but this was the most distinctive scent. Anyway, so this goes for any Lush Bubble Bar, crumble under a hot, running tap and voila.. bubbles!

It's a bubble bar/ bath bomb rolled into one which makes this 10x more appealing. I wasn't really sure on how it turned the bath a icky, green colour but I have honestly never felt so good after getting out a bath. There were loads of natural oils in this too, which made my skin SO silky, which is great for dry skin or if you just want to feel soft!

Unfortunately though, if you want to get your hands on this you'll have to wait a good.. 10 months?!
Unless you're lucky enough to find one straying on the sale stand that is!

Sakura Bath Ballistic

I was really excited about using this one, but it didn't really hit the spot for me. The colours really drew me in when buying this, so much so I thought something magical would happen when I put it in the bath. Needless to say, it didn't. It left a slight, pink tint to the bubbles, which faded almost instantly, and that was it.

It says on their website that this has a very spring scent to it, and that's exactly how I would describe it. I would not associate this with winter whatsoever, which also put me off slightly. 

Something I may need to re-try when it starts to get warmer outside. The product smells great, but it's something I probably wouldn't buy again. If you're into extravagant coloured baths like me, this is probably not the one for you. 


Think Pink Bath Ballistic

I've left this one until the end because you always have to save the best until last, right?!
This Bath Bomb has been my favourite for way over a year now, so maybe I'm biased, but I have to say this is probably one of my Top 3 Lush products!  It smells very floral and quite sweet, but not over powered by either scent. Sometimes, if something is too sweet, it's too much and slightly sickly.

This makes your bath pink within seconds and the best part about it is, it has tiny bits of heart shaped, rice paper confetti which floats around and slowly dissolves. It also has components in it to naturally relax you and make your feel great.
For full effect, I'd say not to use bubble bath so you can really embrace it! 
I will continue buying these until Lush stop making them.. which is hopefully never!
100% BUY IT.

Anyone else like Lush or recommend anything from there I haven't mentioned?! I'd be very open to suggestions! :)
