Lush: 50% off Sale Haul!

Hello my lovlies :)

Today I have for you a little Lush Haul I ordered on Boxing day, and arrived on the 3rd. I couldn't say no, despite getting a Lush gift set for Christmas ;) You can never have enough, and a sale is always a good excuse to try new things, am I right? ;) 

First off, I love the box, is that strange? Inside it tell you how to recycle the packaging, I didn't even realise them wotsit type things are actually made of potato starch and can be put in compost or plant post.. Who knew that?! 

Firstly, I got theTea Tree Water Toner, my skin has been a little crazy these past couple months, so I thought it was worth a try! I bought the big size, because...Why not?! Which retails at £7.50, I paid £3.75, which is cheaper than the 100g! 

Next is Grease Lightening Spot Treatment, I got this for the above reason ^ I've gone from having no more than about 3 spots at a time, to having god knows how many, and they are very painful! Anything is worth a go to get rid! This retails at £5.95, and I paid £2.97. Not a bad price! Lets hope it works.. I've been using it a couple of days, I think I'll review it in a few weeks. 

Does this really need an introduction?! I was after the big size but they were bought up whilst I was picking my other products :( I paid £1.75 so I think it was £3.50 at full price? I love the smell of this so much, it just makes me happy! Yum.

 

Next is Cinders Bath Bomb, I love love loveee the smell of this! Although it seems smaller this year? These were retailed at £2.45 and I paid £1.22. Woooop! 

Next is the Shoot For The Stars Ballistic. Isn't this pretty? I saw a picture of this in someone bath on youtube, maybe? And it made it such a pretty colour I couldn't resist it! It retails at £3.35 and I paid £1.62.

Here is the So White Bath Bomb, I saw that this is one of Zoe AKA Zoella favourite's from Lush so I though it was worth a buy! It retailed at £3.25 and I bought it for £1.62.

Next is the Bombardino, how cute?! He looks like he should be in a Mario game :) This retails at £2.50 and cost me £1.25

Here is my beloved Ma Bar. I haven't been able to find it anywhere, yet when I was scrolling through the sale items, there it was! Can I find it again of the Lush website? No! It's unavailable again :( I should of bought more! I paid £1.75, so I guess it was  £3.50 full price, if you can get it? :( 

I think I may prefer buying Lush products online? I mean, yes you have to pay £3.95 postage (so part of what I saved doesn't exactly count, I will be reusing the box and Ecoflo though!) but I like that they come individually wrapped in the 'Cellulose' packaging to help them keep fresh, even though there's a split in my Shoot For The Stars one! Plus it saves me getting stuck in hours of traffic to get 15mins down the road and then not be able to buy anything!  Although I also like smelling literally everything, until I get a headache :) 

I hope you enjoyed this post! What did you get in the sales? 

Until next time

Words can't describe how much I love the smell of this soap. The Pink bit smells of After Eight Mints and the White smells of Mint Humbugs. Loveeeee.

This was £5.46 for 168g

Northern Lights Soap 

This soap is truely beautiful. I can't stop looking at it! The scent is pine and lime, which give it a very fresh sort of smell.

 This was £7.87 for 242g

The smell reminds me of Parma Violets, I love it! Can't wait to use it.

£4.95

Bubblebeard Reuseable Bubble Bar

This is so cute! I wanted it months ago but 
never got round to buying it. (Like with Snow Fairy and then it was too late!)

Did you get anything good in the Christmas sales? 

Talk to you soon,

xoxo.

Lush: Yuzu & Cocoa Bubbleroon Review

Hello my lovlies :) Today I have a Lush review to share with you, I haven't done one in ages! 

I got this for my birthday, hence the date, I know it's taken me ages to review! I've only been having baths at night so haven't been able to take pictures.

Bubbleroons are supposed to be stuck together.. However mine was not.. Not bothered about it though really as save me breaking it in half. When I used this for my bath I used about a quarter of the product altogether. A little goes a long way!

My bath water had wonderful silky bubbles and smelt amazing! Like a mix between orange and vanilla, yummm.

The bath water was really moisturising, I found I didn't need to moisturise after my bath which was great, my skin felt really soft, and smelt good too!

If you love citrus and vanilla smells, or have rather dry skin this would definitely be great for you, 

I will be repurchasing this for sure, I'm in love!

At £2.95, this product is a steal! You can find it here on their website.

Lush: Mini Haul of Samples & Brief Review

I was searching eBay for some samples to try out, 

Here I got 10 samples for £5.34, which works out about 53p per sample which is great as they're good size samples.

Magic Mushroom bubble bar:

Smells of strawberry & vanilla goodness! You can get about two baths out of this sample.

 I already have this product in its full size so I'm giving this to my cousin to try out.

RRP: £2.45/100g

 Three Gold Rings bubble bar: 

Smells lovely and vanillary. Used half of this the night I got it and it definitely made my skin feel moisturised and smooth.

Unfortunately, this was just for Christmas, which is such a shame as this is a really lovely product! :( 

Tramp Shower Gel:

Unfortunately I really don't like the smell of this, which is a shame!

RRP: £4.10/100g

Snake Oil Scalp Bar: 

This is for dandruffy hair, you can really smell the lavender in it. I gave this to my boyfriends sister because she was telling me about her hair issues. She said it worked after her first use, although we found that on her hair it smelt a bit like organic dog food? Bit strange, but f it does the job, can't complain!

RRP: £4.50/55g

Sweetheart Soap:

Really love the smell of this, I can't explain what it smells like, but the internet says its Jasmine, Mandarin & Vanilla. There are some bad reviews of this soap on the Lush website, so it will be interesting to see how it works for me personally.

RRP: £3/100g

Pied De Pepper Foot Lotion: 

This is taped shut so I'm a bit worried to open it in case I can't close it again so haven't been able to have a sniff of it yet, however their website says it contains cinnamon and ginger, sounds nice and Christmassy. 

This has been discontinued, so lets hope I don't fall in love with this one and get disappointed! 

Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter:

This smells so amazing, I used a tiny bit (a tiny bit goes a long way with this product because it's so thick) on my nails and cuticles and seriously the smell, it's so gorgeous! This made my sore dry cuticles feel nourished and moisturised, got a feeling this will be a repurchase! Although I can see this tiny pot lasting my quite a while.

RRP: £5.95/50g

Ultrablast Toothy Tabs: 

Quite frankly, I'm scared to use these, their website says they contain wasabi! Although reading the reviews say they don't taste that bad and give you good fresh breath. The don't smell inviting! Might just have to risk it.

RRP: £2.75/12g

Dirty Toothy Tabs:

Again, bit scared to use these too. Reviews on their website they have a bit of a strange taste, but some one did say they made their teeth look whiter. I'm currently using Pearl drops as my toothpaste and finding my teeth getting increasingly sensitive. Think I might have to take a plunge and just try them!

RRP: £2/12g

 Bubblegum Lip Scrub:

This is the one product I really wanted to try in Lush but thought it was a bit pricey. (I know I'm such a Scrooge!) I tried some the other day and seriously the taste, I could just eat it out of the tub. It makes your lips feel so smooth and then you can just lick it off and eat it after! It's great. Will really have to keep this out of the way of the boyfriend as he likes to bite my lip balms and eat them if they taste nice (weirdo!) and he will definitely enjoy eating this one if he finds it, lol!

RRP: £4.95/25g

That's the end of my mini haul and brief review! Let me know if you want anything reviewed in depth.

Lush: Think Pink Review

 Hey guys!

Here is my review on the Think Pink Ballistic by Lush :)

Some piccies:

When I'd put it in about a minute I suppose?

I was amazed at how quickly the colour spread, and as you'll see it was a very bright colour, not like a diluted pink or anything :)

All the colour had spread, and there's a little white daisy at the bottom (what looks like popcorn, lol!)

I was impressed with the strength of the smell, it was really strong! And I had a nice surprise with these:

Little heart confetti! And they didn't melt or anything! In fact I had to wash them all out of my bath after! Hehe :)

Pros:

- The colour was very strong, and didn't look diluted (unlike the pictures portray it)

- It smelt beautiful and made the bathroom smell amazzzzing, and my skin!

-The little surprise of heart bath confetti! I don't know if I knew about it and forgot or just didn't know about it, lol!

- The little daisy floating on the bath water (although I kinda killed it because it folded up so I tried to unfold it and it like disintegrated :/)

- I don't really know why, but as soon as I put this ballistic in, it instantly made me feel on top of the world. I wasn't in a bad mood or anything but it just filled me with excitement, so that is a rather big pro for me :D

-Price was definitely attractive!

Cons:

- The colour wasn't exactly thick, if that makes sense? I think it would of looked better if it made the water a little more cremey (although, this sorta happened when I washed my hair etc)

- It left a pink rim around my bath, which I had to clean, (but it was so worth it!)

All in all, I think this is a must buy! I would definitely buy more if my Lush wasn't closed for refurb! -sob-

My bath was relaxing, and I just spent ages staring at my toes LOL! I really did love this, and it's comes close to the Ma Bar bubble bar!

It was girly (I'm not exactly the most girly person) but I still enjoyed it and it made me feel genuinely happy, I'm so glad that I bought it. So I think you should all toooooo! GOGOGOGOGO.

Think Pink Ballistic: £2.30

And you can find it here.

I hope you all liked this post, I wrote it mainly because;

1. I need to take my mind off of my appalling results that I'll be receiving tomorrow

2. I havn't posted anything proper in a while.

So I hope you enjoyed it, and I would lurrrrrrrve feedback pleasems.

Love love xo.

Lush: Ma Bar Review

Hey, I've just got out of the bath, after trying out the Ma Bar bubble bar from Lush. I only used a bout 1/2 or 1/3 of both the bar and the little sugar cube. And I had to admit, that is the best bath I have ever had (except for the daddy long legs on the ceiling crawling towards me, eek!)

The bath water was so silky.. Sooooo unlike the bath water we usually have, as I live in a hard water area, and even bubble bath doesn't seem to tackle it.. and look at the amount of bubbles! That's with using barely any of the bar, it was really suprising!

Pros:

- The smell of the bath water was like, chocolate toffee, it was faint, but that was probably because I used little of the product.

-The amount of bubbles, imagine how it would of been if I had put the whole thing in, lol! It would be like bubble works at chessington :D . As I didn't take this picture in the bath (that would be a tad weird) it doesn't really show the proper amount of bubbles like it would if you were actually in it, I don't know if that makes sense or not, lol!

-It has left my skin feeling amazingly smooth and touchable and smelling beautiful.

Cons:

-The bath water is a bit of a yucky colour as you can see, I didn't really get put off by it, but I could imagine some people might.

- You really have to crumble up the bar, other wise it doesn't really dissolve properly and you get sort of sludgy bits in the bottom of the bath, although if you swish it around, they do dissolve properly :)

So, to me, it is one of the best bath products I have ever tried, I can't wait to use the other half, hehe. Even if there are cons, they are rather feeble ones. I really did love this bath, I can't stress it enough, although dad thought it looked like mud, lol! However, you really must try it out. The scent lingers on your skin and it smells beautiful. It's also worth while knowing that you don't really have to use it all in one go, so it lasts. :)

Did you like this review? Want me to do reviews on anything in particular? Let me know

Thanks for the feedback :)

Lush :)

Hey everyone, I went to Bluewater yesterday, and went on a bit of a shopping spree. But the main thing I want to talk about it what I bought from Lush. They smell amazing, I can't believe I havn't bought anything from there before, I always thought it smelt a bit weird in there, but popped in there a few times mainly to poke things, heheh.

Anyway, I got some bath stuff, not that I really have baths anymore as I go through fazes of having baths all the time, then showers, then back to baths, etc. I never really have a mix of the two. Am I odd? Lol. Oh dear, I'm going off the point. I bought bath stuff so I could get back in to baths again :)

1. Ma Bar (bubble bar)

RRP: £2.45

This smells just like a chocolate bar, lol, I can't really describe it anyway, plus I was really tempted to eat it, I don't know if that's a good thing, hehe. This was initially produced for Mother's Day, but it was too popular to be stopped. I however, am not a mother, but who cares? I can't wait to try it out! It's got cocoa powder in it which it says is rich in an antioxidant, so it should be goooood.

2. Ickle Baby Bot (Ballistic)

RRP:  £1.75

I bought this because I thought it looked really cute, it is intended for children but I like robots too! Hehe :) It's got Lavender oil and Chamomile blue oil in it. I havn't been sleeping that well recently, so hopefully it'll help. Plus, the price is too tempting to resist :D

3. Think Pink (Ballistic)

RRP: £2.30

I was attracted to this because of the flowers, however I've lost one and a half of them, lol! I don't mind though, it smells sweet, and has Neroli oil, Sweet Vanilla, and Tonka. It apparantly makes the bath water pink, and fills the room with fragrance. Also, the website says that the Tonka smell stays on the skin for a long time after your bath, I hope this is right, because it smells delightful.

Lush is a great company, because all their products are handmade, are not tested on animals, they only use vegetarian products, and all are fresh and organic fruits and veg, and if they don't use them, they use safe synthetics. Which is really good to know. I also think that he products are well priced, before, I thought they were expensive, but after looking into it all, I have changed my mind.Yay for Lush! <3

I hope you all liked this post. Want me to review these products? Do you want me to post more about my Lush purchases? Have you used and Lush products before?

It would be great to have some feedback. :)

xo.
