Lush Holiday Haul - Part 3

Hello, 
This is my final part of my Lush Holiday Haul! This is my last 4! I hope you have enjoyed reading & seeing most of the bath bombs & bubble bars from the holiday collections! I will definitely be sad when I run out! So today I will show you 3 bath bombs & a bath melt. 


Butterbear 
Butterbear smells absolutely gorgeous! It has a vanilla & cocoa butter scent which I love! Butterbear is one of the smaller bath bombs but it looks so cute with it's perfectly place brown nose & moulded bear shape. I just had to get it! 




After being told that plainer bath bombs generally do the most I was quite excited for this bath bomb but I was initially disappointed. It didn't last long at all, didn't foam much & left little bits floating in the bath which was a bit grim looking (see video). It wasn't until I got into the bath that I realised what this bath bomb does. It releases cocoa butter & oils into the bath so my skin felt amazing after! Although it isn't an exciting bath bomb I would definitely use again as it was lovely on the skin. 

Here it is in action...




Luxury Lush Pud 
Luxury Lush Pud was a bath bomb that at first glance I probably wouldn't have bought. I didn't like the outside of the bath bomb (I can't pin point why). The exterior is half pink, half white with multicoloured spots going around the middle. It has a slight lavender scent which I'm not usually keen on but I got it as part of the Christmas Candy gift set which has some of the other products I have previously spoke about in. However, I was pleasantly surprised! It turned out to be my favourite product out of all the ones mentioned in this blog! 






It is a very vibrant bath bomb releasing a white foam & multiple colours into the bath but mainly a gorgeous vibrant pink. 



It also leaves the bath water lovely & pink & very glittery! 


Here's it in action...






Dashing Santa 
Again, Dashing Santa is one of the smaller bath bombs. As it fizzes it releases mandarin oil, bergamot oil & orange flower absolute into the bath.



Despite it's size it coloured the bath quite a lot, sending the bath foaming orange, red & white. I would have liked to see the bath go more red than orange as it's meant to be a santa bath bomb but that's just my opinion. 



Here's it in action...




Snow Angel
Snow Angel is a bath melt which releases cocoa butter, rose, benzoin & cassie absolute into your bath leaving your skin silky smooth. Overall, it has a marzipan scent. 




Snow Angel is split into two halves. The top half is almost like a bath bomb which releases white foam into your bath. I didn't expect it to do that with it being a melt not bomb! 


Then the under half is vibrant gold which is rich with gold glitter. This leaves the bath water with a weird sort of yellow colour which I didn't like. When it first starts to melt it is clearer & the glitter is really visible. 



Here it is in action...




So as you can see the water gets very glittery over time & also goes more yellow...



I hope you have enjoyed reading about all the lovely Lush products & I hope it has inspired you to try Lush if you haven't before! I know sometimes the smell of the shop can be over powering but the smell of just one singular product when you get home is just devine & it leaves you smelling gorgeous too, not to mention relaxed! Remember that these are limited edition holiday products however, many will reappear later this year! If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave a message!

Lush Holiday Haul - Part 1

Hello! 

Slightly different to my usual blogs but today I thought I'd share with you about my ever growing obsession with Lush. Every year Lush release limited edition holiday products for both halloween & Christmas. I love halloween, Christmas & all things Lush so I just had to give them a go! My favourite shower gel ever is Snow Fairy. I love anything sweet smelling. 

I have collected lots of Lush goodies on my travels to London, Doncaster & Sheffield. Whilst I was in London I just had to visit the Oxford Street store. It was amazing & so big! It was like a sweet shop, really vibrant & gorgeous smelling (but less edible).

Lord of Misrule
Lord of Misrule is a limited edition halloween bath bomb. It smells of spicy patchouli & black pepper oil. Usually I like super sweet smells but this still smelt gorgeous. 



Lord of Misrule starts rotating around & green & white troth starts to spill out. Shortly after blood vivid red troth starts to bubble out! It is literally like a witches cauldron. The red starts to turn the bath a bloody colour which is a nice halloween touch! 



Here is Lord of Misrule in action:



Sparkly Pumpkin 
If you don't like extremely sparkly, orange, bubbly baths this is not the bubble bar for you! I absolutely love glitter so this was amazing! I loved the smell of this also. It was far more fruity than Lord of Misrule so more to my taste. It contained juniper berry, grapefruit & lime oils. I am sad to say this is also limited edition so is no longer available!



You simply crumble the bubble bar into running water & it begins to bubble up. The bubbles themselves are white but the bath water turns bright orange with gold glitter!


Here's a snippet of it in action before I crumbled it into the bath...



Father Christmas 
So Father Christmas is one of the first christmas products released by Lush (more to follow is subsequent haul parts!). It is super cute as it is moulded into no other than Father Christmas' face! Again this is unfortunately a limited edition bath bomb! It has a super sweet smell similar to the Snow Fairy range with a candy floss smell. 



This bath bomb starts by fizzing into a white & light pink/blush foam & then predominantly fizzes into a vibrant green colour. In the end your bath water is very green (it makes your skin look like the Grinches when submerged in the water)! 


Here's it in action...



So that's my first 3 products from Lush which I have tried recently. I have at least 4 more products lined up (some I have already tried & are ready for write up) & I'm sure I'll be buying more. I just can't help myself, it's like an addiction! If you have any questions or comments please leave me a message!
