Elixir Bath Melt

I've been working out quite a bit as of late and I've been craving bath melts more frequently than usual. My poor limbs have been overworked as they've grown fairly accustomed to relaxing in front of the television in the evenings, not slaving away on the treadmill. I've developed dry patches on the base of my feet and the muscles in my arms and legs have been crying out for that extra bit of affection. So I was rather intrigued when Lush chose to...

Strawberry Twin Tub Shower Jelly

You may think it strange that I'm choosing to review this product, when I've already posted on my blog of Strawberry Santa Shower Jelly - a festive item that is near enough identical aside from it's shape. However, especially with recent Lush releases, I've found that being able to try something fresh often brings out different elements of a product's fragrance, and can sometimes alter the effectiveness of the product altogether. Such is the case...

Chocolala Massage Bar

One of the best aspects of the Lush Kitchen Initiative, are the pictures that accompany each of your orders. I think it's a rather lovely touch to be able to see your products being made and experience part of that excitement as you tear open the packaging and hungrily eye up what you have in front of you. It's always a shame then, when you find the product doesn't live up to the expectations set.When I first glimpsed at the pictures of Chocolala...

Error 404 Ballistic

When Lush first released pictures of products that were to feature in their kitchen initiative, one of the first ones that grabbed my attention was a rather splendid looking golden egg. To begin with, I thought that it was the rather lovely Golden Egg Ballistic that featured in this year's Easter range. However, on closer inspection, I realised that this was a different product completely and I was rather excited to try it out.A few weeks ago, somebody...

Heavenly Bodies Buttercream

When I discovered that Lush were selling this product during one of their Lush Kitchen releases, I was ecstatic. It's one of the products that I've been pining after for quite some time, and after reading numerous glowing reviews about it, was determined to get my hands on some. Although I'm not normally a fan of chocolate-scented cosmetics, this beauty is an exception, and here's why; Sharing it's scent with Sonic Death Monkey Shower...

The Snowman Ballistic

I'm going to hold my hands up and say that I am not one of those Lushies obsessed with the 'Butterball' fragrance. I know it's one of Lush's biggest sellers, hence why they feel the need to repackage the scent in a new product almost yearly. However, the truth is, as I mentioned in my review of the Butterball Shower Gel, the smell of cocoa butter by itself has been so overused in cosmetics (not just Lush!), that I'm pretty sick of it. By no means...

Orange Jelly Soap

When I heard that Lush were releasing an orange-scented soap, I was so excited; alongside blackcurrant, orange has been one of my favourite smells since I was a little girl. Sometimes companies can 'overdo it' when it comes to the scents of their products; layering multiple fragrances over each other to give off a 'complex' smell, when all it really does is create a horrible heavy smell that permeates almost everything. So when I saw the simplicity...

Donkey Oaty Ballistic

Donkey Oaty was a limited edition ballistic released in 2011 as part of Lush's Easter range. Initially a strange choice for an Easter product, as the donkey imagery is normally associated with Christmas, this chivalrous and wise animal is a perfect addition to any springtime bath. Designed to smell like the Charity Pot Lotion, this wonderful ballistic smells of a mixture of chocolate and almond butter laced with a hint of rose. Containing...

Sweet Japanese Girl Solid Cleanser

There seems to be rather a lot of confusion regarding the use of Sweet Japanese Girl Solid Cleanser; a premise even I was stumped about to begin with. Although it's title should have been somewhat of a clue as to why it's been made, mixed reviews threw up many questions regarding it's official purpose. However, spurred on by the thought of a challenge, I relished in finding out the best way to utilise this product, and reached some quite intriguing...
