Rose Bubble Bar

When Lush's Mother's Day and Easter ranges were first announced, there was a lot of criticism about the fact that a large percentage of the products were heavily rose-scented. And where I can recognise why this negativity has come about, I for one am very happy with this smell being a prominent part of the range. I only wish that the products were fragranced with a new rose-inspired scent, not just a remodelling of products that are available to...

Inhale/Exhale Bath Bomb

Inhale/Exhale is a rather odd choice for a Mother's Day bath bomb. Firstly, is stands out like a sore thumb amongst the peaches and purples, pinks and yellows that have graced most of the range this year; a combination of red and blue isn't an immediate pairing that you'd associate with the seasonal event. Secondly, the ballistic shares it's scent with the popular Breath of God fragrance, a strong smokey scent that I would say is more masculine than...

My Easter/Mother's Day 2014 Order!

Surprisingly, this is the smallest seasonal order I have ever placed at Lush. I normally always buy a good 4+ of every item available. However, my New Year's Resolution was to halve my current Lush stash, so this means not over-spending. It's difficult but I know it needs to be done!Overall, all of these items look lovely and smell just as amazing. The only let down was the size of the Rose Bubble Bar; I was expecting a Happy? or Karma sized bar....

Golden Egg Bath Bomb

I knew when Golden Egg was first unleashed on the world, there would be a division of fans; on the one side there are those that get overly excited about anything glittery and will no doubt head straight for the most lustre-tastic looking product in the shop. Then there are those that sort of grimace at anything vaguely shiny and begin envisaging how much of a clean up there'll be after the bath. As for me, I'm one of those rarities that sort of...

Eye's Right Mascara

As silly as it sounds, I never even considered Lush to be a company I could buy my make-up from, despite using them for every other cosmetic need on the planet. A part of me always thought of them as being rather expensive; I would sometimes browse their Emotional Brilliance range but not even consider investing in anything to try out. That was until I went to buy my usual eyeliner at my local SuperDrug store, and realised that the price was actually...

Tramp Shower Gel

I feel like I have to tread rather carefully when discussing Tramp Shower Gel on this blog. The reason being that it seems to be one of those Lush products that inspires a very strong reaction from fans worldwide. In fact, when Lush originally discontinued it from the shops, they got more letters, emails and phone calls than ever before from fans desperate to have it reinstated. When I originally heard about Tramp, I was rather excited...

R N B Hair Moisturiser

My hair goes through a lot, what with dyeing it once a month and only cutting it once or twice a year. This means that I have to protect my hair as best as I can, and find ways of preventing it from drying out before it begins to look horrible. I am always looking for new products to carry this out, and on a recent Lush trip, one such product took my fancy. R & B (which stands for Revive and Balance) Hair Moisturiser is a leave-in hair treatment...

Hello Gorgeous Gift Set

I would say that this is probably one of Lush's most popular gift sets available. I only say this because I have received this gift set probably 4-5 times over the last couple of years, all from different people, none of which have asked me for any input before they have bought it. It's a gift set that would appeal to most Lush fans, containing some of their most popular and exquisite products available. Who can say no to sharing a bath with...

Glitter Bug Body Lotion

Occasionally Lush release a product that makes me frown a little and ponder over their motives for a while. (I'm still trying to figure out why they thought Glam Rock Hair Glitter was a good idea!). Recently, one such product that has made me react in this way, is their Glitter Bug Body Lotion. On paper, this body lotion doesn't sound particularly terrible; with unctuous vanilla, cocoa butter, neroli and rose absolute, it actually sounds like...

Randy Butter Buttercream

Randy Butter is a brandy, cocoa butter and rum scented buttercream, which on paper sounds like a beautiful boozy Christmas product. It contains coconut oil, cocoa butter and fair trade shea butter to moisturise the skin, as well as brandy, cinnamon leaf oil and cognac oil to add to the scent. Although I'm not a fan of alcohol-scented products, I figured this would be similar to Ponche, in that the alcohol would be used as an afterthought to...
