Jungle Fun

Jungle Fun is my first ever experience with Lush Fun bars. I don't know how I feel about the same product being able to be used for four different things. I used this piece of Fun as a bubble bar, but compared to a bubble bar, not as many bubbles were produced, using about the same size piece. Despite this I would consider buying Fun in the future. Also I was not a very big fan of the jungle scent of this Fun Bar.

Haagen Bath Ballistic

Haagen Bath

Haagen Bath was a beautiful mint scented bath bomb, that seemed to melt away father than fizz, it was very creamy and slightly foamy the bath bomb left the water a unique clouded pink colour. Overall this bath bomb was very nice and if I see them in the kitchen I will be purchasing some.

 

 Fizz: 5/10

Scent: 9/10

Colour: 7/10

Overall: 7/10



Santa's Belly Gift Set

Santa's Belly

I had been planning to buy this gift set, but ended up forgetting, so when I saw in the Lush Boxing Day sale, I had to buy one. The tin is super cute, but I haven't decided what to use it for yet. This gift set would be great as a gift to a friend as it is not too expensive but the products in there can be used by anyone, even if you don't have a both only a shower. unlike bath bombs. The products in this gift set also smell amazing, the jelly smells like a freshly bitten apple, and the Fun bar smell delightfully orangey.

• Santa's Belly Shower Jelly
• Red Fun

Haul #5 - Boxing Day Sale

This year was the first year that I attempted to buy products in the Lush Boxing Day sale. I bought my products online which was a hellish experience, first no one seemed to know exactly when the sale products were going live. I was awake with my computer on at 7:45 am, with both Twitter and the Lush website open. After a lot of waiting and page refreshing I finally managed to place my order.

• 2 x Golden Wonder Bath Bomb
• 1 x Five Gold Rings Bubble Bar
• 1 x Magic Wand Reusable Bubble Bar
• 1 x Santa's Belly Gift Set
• 100g of Snowcake Soap
• 2 x Dashing Santa Bath Bomb

Snow Fairy Shower Gel

Snow Fairy

'When the days are dark, add a little Christmas magic to your shower and some much-needed sparkle to your daily routine. This candyfloss-scented shower gel will gently cleanse hair and body and leave a mouthwatering perfume on your skin. Shower with a gel that's sure to tickle you pink by picking up this candyfloss body cleanser.'

I really don't understand the hype surrounding this product, while it smells delightful, the scent doesn't linger on your body and it doesn't lather very well. I wouldn't say its a bad product, but I was expected something a lot more special after all the wonderful things I have heard about it.

 

Pink Moon Knot-Wrap

Pink Moon Knot-Wrap

'When the stars are in the sky and the spooks of the night come out to play, the moon becomes a Rorschach test of gruesome faces casting mysterious shadows. Like a watercolour, pinks, purples, whites and reds mingle in stunning, vivid colour in this wrap made from recycled plastic bottles. When it comes to astronomically good ways of gift-wrapping, the sky's the limit. If you fancy creating your own celestial body, why not wear it as a bandana or headscarf?'

 

I bought this because I really liked the colours and pattern, I honestly have no idea if or when I am going to wear it, maybe I will next Halloween.

 

 



Haul #4

I placed this order after I saw the Lush Winter 2015 products hit the site. I am planning on going to my local Lush store this Saturday and will probably buy more products then, when I have smelt them in person. So in this order I have brought:

• Pink Moon Knot Wrap
• Nightwing Shower Jelly
• Candy Mountain Bubble Bar
• So White Bath Bomb
• Five Gold Rings Bubble Bar
  + a sample of Reindeer Rock Soap

Whoosh Shower Jelly

Whoosh

 

'If you’re a little wobbly with overtiredness, Whoosh will give you the oomph you need. Its zingy fragrance and slinky feel will blast away fatigue, especially if you chill this jelly in the fridge or freezer beforehand. We’ve mixed seaweed, fresh citrus juices, rosemary and geranium oils into this pot. Scoop some of the gel out and use like a soap to cleanse and lift away dead skin cells, leaving you brighter and fresher.'

I am currently using this as a whole jelly as a soap, but there are other ways to use shower jellies. You can cut it into cubes and mush it in a sponge to use in the shower, you can run a lump under the taps when filling the bath to use as a bubble bar, or you could use it as a whole thing like a bar of soap.

'Whoosh' smells great and wakes you up, and lathers up great. However the jelly does start to disintegrate if you leave it wet between uses. Overall  I love this product and will definitely repurchase it when I run out.

 

Sandstone Soap

Sandstone Soap

'An uplifting and skin-smoothing citrus soap that brings to mind the beaches of Brazil. Waves of sand and a lemony scent will transport you to a tropical beach, sipping seaside cocktails. We've used the incredibly uplifting litsea cubeba oil to wake up your mind, then wake up your skin with the sandy scrub. It's the perfect soap for summer, or whenever you want to feel bright and breezy.'

 

This is an overall pleasant soap with gentle citrus notes. The sand that gives this soap it's name is very abrasive, which can be both a positive and a negative quality. This roughness is great to get rid of hard skin on the bottoms of your feet but not for sensitive parts of you skin. Sandstone creates quite a good foamy lather that leaves the skin feeling clean but not dried out. I would consider repurchasing this soap when I have run out of the soap I have.

 

 

Sultana Of Soap

Sultana of Soap

'If your skin’s feeling drier than a desert, Sultana of Soap is your oasis. We’ve mixed loads of dried fruits like apricots, cranberries and currants in with olibanum oil, which is fabulous for replenishing moisture and soothing you. To make it smell even more gorgeous, we’ve added a splash of cheering bergamot oil.'

 

This is currently the soap I am using in the bathroom. It sits in a soap dish in the wall at the side of the bath, which is why I think this soap has been shrinking as quickly as it is. It could also be down to my mother using it when she thinks I'm not aware. This soap doesn't smell particularly amazing, but it does form a silky lather that leaves your hands squeaky clean. I wouldn't object to buying another piece of this soap in the future once my soap pile has shrunk a little more.
