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.

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

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

Luxury Lush Pud Bath Bomb

Luxury Lush Pud

This is one of the most beautiful Lush bath bombs that I had tried, up to this date. It is by far the most colourful, turning the water a beautiful pink with silver lustre floating in the water. 'Luxury Lush Pud' shares its lavender scent with a pre-existing product, the famous 'Twilight' bath bomb.
Once I was finished soaking in the bath water, pulled the plug and let the water drain, I was left with a pink stain around the bath. The mark however was removable with quite a bit of scrubbing.

May Day Bath Bomb

 

May Day

'May Day' is a non-profit product, much like 'Charity Pot' that is sold in order to benefit organisation and charities. 'May Day' however is for the protection of animals.

'May Day' is a beautiful bath bomb to look at, however it is slightly disappointing when it is let loose in the water. This bath bomb is primarily white so when it has dissolved it makes the water a cloudy white. It smells like sweet citrus, however the scent is quite weak. As the money made from this bath bomb goes to charity, I would be willing to purchase it again, but it is not a favourite.

Romance in a Stone Bath Bomb

Romance in a Stone

My Romance in a Stone is from an old batch so I think the scent must have faded a little from its original glory, however it still smelt a little like rose potpourri. It's quite a small bath bomb, with little colour but the flower petals made up for that.

 

I had not looked into this bath bomb before I used it, so I was quite surprised to find a folded piece of paper in its centre. I unfolded it to reveal the final verse of 'To His Coy Mistress' by Andrew Marvell, which may seem  romantic at a first read, but after studying it in class I know that not to be the case.

 

This bath bomb was nice but nothing amazing, but wasn't at all an unpleasant experience.

Error 404 Ballistic

Error 404

I received Error 404 in a competition prize bundle, so it was quite an old bath bomb (from the April 2014 Lush Kitchen batch), it therefore had lost its scent. Aside from there being no scent whatsoever, the colour this bath bomb turned the water was a beautiful blue smattered with a large amount of gold glitter. The glitter did leave a large amount of residue in the bath after it had been emptied, however it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the bath. Error 404 gave quite a show, the gold glitter giving way to a vibrant blue, that in turn dissolving away to show a glitter core.

 

I would like to try this product again sometime, when it is fresh and still has a scent. When/if this happens I will be sure to update this review.

Hoppity Poppity Bath Bomb

Hoppity Poppity

'Sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down. When you're down, bounce back with this fantastically fizzy little bunny. Drop in the bath for a fresh, herbal experience that will leave you feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Popping candy adds a little fun.'

 

Hoppity Poppity turns the water a barely-there pink, sprinkled with silver glitter. To me this bath bomb smells like grass, but it smells like talcum powder to my mother, I do not like it either way, it is a bit too herbal for my tastes. Hoppity Poppity was one of those scents that smell nice in the shop, but when you get it home you wonder why the hell you bought it. This bath bomb dissolves almost instantly and there it no show of beautiful colours.

Honey Bee Bath Bomb

Honey Bee

'A good soak in a Honey Bee bath will soothe and cleanse the skin thanks to its wonder trio of honey, aloe vera, and rhassoul mud, a clay mined near Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. Honey is a wonder ingredient that soothes, retains moisture and is antiseptic, and we add plenty of cooling aloe vera, too. Rhassoul mud has natural cleansing properties, and also helps condition and soften the skin.'

 

The colour this bath bomb turns the water is a horrible yellow. The smell is nice, but very weak, and the rhassoul mud didn't exfoliate but scraped sharply and painfully against my skin. This is the worst Lush bath bomb I have tried to date and I will not be buying another in the foreseeable future.

Blackberry Bath Bomb

Blackberry Bath Bomb

'As soon as you drop this into your bath, tension is banished as the bergamot and frankincense oils are released. Bergamot is used in aromatherapy for anxiety, depression and nervous tension, and is both relaxing and uplifting as well as antibacterial. You’ll soon feel calmed as frankincense oil helps slow down breathing and induces a feeling of wellbeing.'

Blackberry Bath Bomb turns the bath water the most vivid shade of purple you will ever see. The bath bomb takes quite a while to fully dissolve so the show isn't over too quickly. The scent is pleasant and quite strong when the bath bomb has dissolved.

The Comforter Bubble Bar

The Comforter

'Sometimes you just need to shut yourself off from the outside world under a blanket of fruity foam that will put you back in the right frame of mind to face the world. Cassis absolute gives a distinctive blackcurrant fragrance, while bergamot adds an uplifting note.'

 

The Comforter is my favourite bubble bar to date. It is a classic that will never grow old. The water is turned a vibrant pink and the scent released from the bar is divine. I used 1/6th of a large bar and loads of bubbles were formed.
