Sunnyside Bubble Bar

Lush claim that this bubble bar is 'perfect for grey days when you wish for a bit of sparkle in your life.' So when the weather turned from bad to worse last week, and I was considering migrating somewhere hot for the 'summer', I thought it was the perfect time to try it out.Sunnyside is definitely one of Lush's most intimidating bubble bars. For those of us concerned with 'mess', the sheer sight of a bar painted with gold glitter, might seem like...

Aqua Marina Facial Cleanser

As I said in my previous post, my goal is to try every vegan Lush product, before I start establishing favourites. So when I ran out of my current favourite facial cleanser, Angels on Bare Skin, I opted to buy a tub of Herbalism, and one of Aqua Marina.Asides from AoBS, Aqua Marina seems to be the only regular facial cleanser that is not aimed at people with oily or greasy skin. And unlike all of the previous cleansers I have tried, this one seems...

Herbalism Facial Cleanser

Despite being very happy with my Angels on Bare Skin facial cleanser, I don't think I can settle on one product until I've had the chance to try out all of what Lush have to offer. They say curiosity killed the cat, but in this case the cat got away having discovered a new favourite product (WHAT?!?!).Herbalism is a purifying and exfoliating herbal cleansing roll wash, best used on oily and problem skin. I will start by saying that I have neither...

25:43 Liquid Perfume

25:43 is the perfume that Mark Constantine created specifically for the wedding of his son Simon. It is named for the amount of time - 25 minutes and 43 seconds that it took the LUSH founder and Gorilla Perfumer to make this fragrance for his son Simon's wedding. When I first purchased this perfume on eBay, as with every Lush perfume that I have ever bought, I had no idea what to expect from the scent. I had read reviews on 25:43, I had ingested...

Dorothy Bubble Bar

When I originally discovered the existence of the Dorothy Bubble Bar, I was really excited to try it out. It looked amazing and the reviews were really positive, which is always a good sign. Unfortunately, I think Lush had temporarily discontinued it at the time, as it wasn't listed on their site and I couldn't find it in any of my local stores. So I traipsed through pages and pages of listings on eBay and kept my eyes peeled, all the while hoping...

Taai Taai Shower Gel

As I've said in my previous posts, there is nothing that excites me more than discovering another Lush shower gel that I've not tried before. What's even more exciting, is finding a rare shower gel that I never thought I'd have the opportunity to try. Taai Taai is one such beauty. I was a little skeptical when this first arrived in the post, as the expiry date was in mid-2009, meaning that this shower gel was close to four years out of date....

Dirty Toothy Tabs

After my less than pleasant experience with the Sparkle Toothy Tabs, I was a little hesitant to try any of the other flavours. However, the premise of Lush's tabs being environmentally better, urged me to give them a second chance. For this reason, I thought I'd play it safe with their spearmint variety, Dirty. The tabs come in a small rectangle box, which makes them great for travelling as they'll take up a lot less room than your average tube...

Phoenix Rising Bath Bomb

This is easily the best named product in Lush's history. There is nothing that excites or interests me more in terms of mythology than that of the phoenix. An conspicuous creature that can regenerate itself to maintain it's health. In fact, I love the symbology of the phoenix so much, that I have one etched in permanent ink across my left forearm. If it's good enough for Dumbledore, it's good enough for me. So it may come as a surprise to some...

June 2013 Lush Inventory - Bits and Bobs

Next on my inventory is all of the small products that don't really fit into a group of their own. In here you'll find lip scrubs/balms, scrubs and powders etc...I also have 3 out of the 5 fun bars. These aren't necessarily my favourite ones, I just find that the bars 'melt' somewhat if left for too long without use. I tend to rotate which ones I buy every couple of months. There are many items that aren't featured in these pictures, such as...

Sweet Sugary Summer Competition!!

Okay, Okay. I have only just finished one competition and I'm already onto my next one. However, I just couldn't wait to share this latest and probably greatest competition to date. I began using one of my new bottles of Snow Fairy this week and revived a real excitement in the sugary, sweetness that Lush offer across a number of products. I realised how much I wanted someone to experience that excitement and enjoyment from all these wonderful...

Mermaid Bath Ballistic

'Imagine a walk along a coastal footpath on a sunny day, with flowers blooming all around and the fresh scent of the sea on the breeze.'Lush's limited edition bath ballistic is a feast for the senses. And if the allure of the lemon and lavender fragrance or the beautiful ocean blue coloured decoration wasn't enough to tempt you, perhaps the reason why Lush have released this will be. Lush's limited edition Mermaid Bath Ballistic was released...

Lady Catrina Soap

Shaped like a fruity hat and decorated with flowers, Lady Catrina is a beautiful looking soap. Released as part of Lush's limited edition 2010 Halloween range, this is not a product that is easy to come by. But it's definitely one worth hunting for. What I especially love about this product is that no pieces of this soap are alike, and it possesses the most gorgeous colours of any soap ever released from Lush. My pieces were cut from the leaf...
