My first 'haul' post HAD to be Lush. I just love the smell when you walk in and the friendly staff and (almost) everything is pink and glittery and rainbows and unicorns and if you've ever had a lush bath you'll know exactly what I mean when I say you come out feeling like an utter goddess! ...Not to mention the fabulous brand ethics too. As lush are retiring a few of these products at the end of the summer (boohoo) I dashed to say a final goodbye to some of my faves.
Sex Bomb - The first product is a regular in my bath basket... the Sex Bomb. They're not actually retiring this one but I bought it anyway because I couldn't resist. It smells so florally and turns your bath a magenta-y pink and even the petals dissolve on this one which makes cleaning the bath afterwards so much easier!
Blackberry Bath Bomb - The next is the Blackberry Bath Bomb. This one looks sort of boring because its just a generic bath bomb shape but it actually has a little surprise in the middle! It smells citrusy, which I love and turns your bath an unusual violety colour which you don't get from a lot of lush products.
Fizzbanger - Third on the list is the Fizzbanger... which they are not retiring- thank goodness - because I think it might be my new fave. I always put off buying yellow/orangey colours when it comes to lush and other bath products because I think it makes your bath look like you've done a little wee... but I was pleasantly surprised to see it actually turns your bath GREEN (silly me!). My boyfriend pushed me to get this one after a lot of umming and arring - we both love the smell which is really lemony and citrusy again - notice the theme? It is made with popping candy which crackles in your bath and also has a little surprise inside, just like the Blackberry Bath Bomb. Definitely on the favourites list.
Rose Jam Bubbleroon - Up next is the Rose Jam Bubbleroon. I haven't actually tried this one before but I always buy the same bubble bars so this time I decided to go for something different. It smells light and floral-y and I'm hoping it will turn my bath pink but you never know! Due to the design, they split quite easily compared to the other bubble bars which I think is fabulous... but my boyfriend thought they were stuck together and pulled one apart which made me laugh - and then we had to walk away before anyone noticed what he'd done, oops.
Dorothy - Now its time for the ones that are being retired (so sad:(). This one is a bubble bar called Dorothy. My bestie, who works at lush has been recommending this to me for a long time now and I've always shrugged it off with a 'yeah yeah' and religiously stuck to my usual bubble bars. Now its leaving I wish I had tried it sooner. It smells floral-y and turns your bath a pale blue.
Granny Takes a Dip - This is the hardest goodbye for me. Granny Takes a Dip bath bomb and the final bath product of my Lush 'haul'. When a kind lady first sold this to me about a year ago when it first launched, she told me it smelt like m&ms. I wasn't quite sure what she meant because to me, Lush just sold citrusy, florally smelly things - but when I first used it I knew exactly what she meant! This bath bomb is the epitome of Lush... it swirls as it dissolves, looking like a rainbow in your bath or 'My Little Pony' hair, taking me back to my childhood. I'm so sad to see this one go... but SO excited for the new Granny Takes a Dip bubble bar to be launched nationwide.
Vanilla Dee-Lite - The final product in my Lush 'haul' and another fave that's being retired is the Vanilla Dee-Lite body lotion. I love the smell of vanilla which is what initially drew me to this product. Sometimes though, I find the vanilla-y scent can be quite overbearing when it comes to bathing products, but this one is mildly floral-y too which I really love! Despite what it looks like on the outside, when you squeeze it out it is actually a really pale pink-y colour. The texture is quite light too which I look for in a moisturiser as my skin is really sensitive and thick products can bring out a rash. Another sad farewell.
I hope you enjoyed my Lush 'haul'. What are your Lush faves? What should I try next? Let me know in the comment box below!
