Lush Haul

/ No Comments

Hey Sweeties,

When it comes to Lush, I think people fall into two camps -either you pop in regularly, or you resist for as long as possible until you really need to go in because your stocks have run dry. You then pop in thinking you’ll pick up maybe two things, a simple in and out session, you refuse the offer of a basket. But you get distracted, you accept the offer of a basket and before you know it you have it moderately filled and are £20 poorer. This is me.

Lush Haul

Except for one of the (four) items, I purchased three never before purchased items from Lush; one because I liked the colour, and two out of intrigue. Can you guess?

Lush Haul -The Comforter

If you’re a fairly regular reader of this blog, you’ll know from a previous Lush haul that I love The Comforter; it’s the perfect combination of providing a delicious smelling scent, turns the bath water pink, and best of all provides bubbles! I also like that the bar lasts for a couple of baths as you can break a bit off each time to use.

Lush Haul -Roses all the way

Roses All The Way was too beautiful to resist and with Valentine’s Day around the corner and my wedding not too far behind, I thought it would be the ideal opportunity to introduce some fun elements around the house that fuelled the whole, love is in the air kinda’ thing. This product is a soap that turns beautifully creamy as you lather it on your body.

Lush Haul -King of skin

The second of my intrigued purchases is King of Skin. I have managed to avoid it until now but it caught my attention when in store this time, long enough for me to want to know why some people love it so much. As someone that enjoys more showers than baths, it makes sense to purchase more products that can be used in-shower and I’m looking forward to giving King of Skin a go.

Finally, sometimes you just need to take it back to basics and enjoy a classic bath bomb. I haven’t tried this one before but it was purchased solely on colour appeal.

What are your favourite products from Lush? Have any of you visited the store on Oxford Street? I’ve walked past it a few times but I am not sure I have the self control to go in yet.

Until next time x

My Recent Lush Haul -Bubble Bars, Bath Bombs & Face Masks

/ 4 Comments

Hi, my name is Claire and I love hauls (All: hi Claire).

So yes, I’ll admit it, providing I have sufficient funds I really enjoy that time when stocks run low and the weekend is earmarked for a haul; is there anything better?

Except for the alluring shop fronts of Boots and Superdrug, Lush is quite possibly the most enticing shop on the high street for its colourful glow and bath bomb aroma wafting out onto the street. I can scarcely ever resist.

So what goodies made it into my basket?

Bath Bombs

Avobath: I love this almost purely for its fragrance; it makes my bathroom smell so fresh so this is always the first to be replaced.

The same also has to be said for Fizzbanger, I really like fresh scented products so this is a real winner and it also does something quite radical in the bath once you drop it in.

Bubble Bars

The Comforter is quite possibly my new favourite -it’s amazing! Prior to trying this one or even when I am using one of the other bath bombs, I do add into the bath a little bit of Radox with them just so that I am not literally just bathing in coloured water. Do you know what I mean? But The Comforter, wow! As you crumble it under the running tap, it turns the water pink and fills it with fluffy bubbles, like completely. I find that you only need to use half of the bar at any one time (unless of course you’re crumbling it into a bath the size of a swimming pool!) as it produces plenty of bubbles and it does something incredible with the water. It doesn’t just turn pink and smells of candy, it becomes and feels incredibly silky on the skin. So lush!

I have never tried Creamy Candy before and I bagged this one almost solely on its cuteness and you’ll agree with me right that it is cute! I’m keen to see how it performs against The Comforter.

Fresh Face Masks

I know Lush do a whole range of face masks but I just so loved using Brazened Honey last time that I just had to get it again. I don’t really have the time or patience to be doing a face mask more than once a week but on a weekend when I can run myself a hot bath, stick in a bath bomb of some kind and relax away, it makes sense to do a face mask at the same time and Lush’s Brazened Honey is my number one choice.

You’ll notice a couple of other Lush products in my basket which aren’t quite yet ready for replacing. I have Happy Hippy which when I first used it the smell surprised me a bit and I thought I wasn’t keen but then I just found myself using it time and time again and now I find it actually quite addictive. Secondly I have Snow Fairy which I have had to ration myself for the last couple of years. I know it sounds stupid but when I first purchased it I was a student so I managed to get another bottle over Christmas a couple of years ago and then owing to where I have been and circumstance since, I haven’t been able to get into Lush over Christmas to stock up. I am not even entirely sure it’s even still available hence why I have to severely ration it in case I run out before I can be sure it can be replaced. Does anyone know if it does still get stocked over Christmas?

Right, so if you’ll excuse me… I am off to run myself a bath.

Until next time x
