Lush Wishlist January 2015




I really enjoyed doing my high-end and drugstore beauty wish list and I love love love Lush so I thought I would do another wish list in the form of the Lush goodies i need to get my hands on! Especially some of the Valentine's day special goodies such as the Unicorn Horn and Prince Charming Shower Gel.







So let's get on with the products...
  1. Sakura (Bath Bomb) £3.50 - designed to evoke the burst of optimism the first sign of spring brings. Calming mimosa and jasmine oils are complemented by lemon oil and orange flower. I love lemon scents which I have probably said like 4 times in my Lush Haul that I adore lemon/lime and apple scents i suppose I like fruit hahaha!
  2. Green (Bubbleroon) £3.75 - another citrus scent oops haha! described as a moisturising,citrus-scented bubble bar will put you in mind of a fresh summer meadow. Created with bergamot, fresh avocado (also my favourite) and shea butter this sounded perfect! 
  3. Unicorn Horn (Bubble Bar) £4.25 - (Valentine's Special)  how they get a unicorns horn I do not know but YAAAAAY! Relaxing lavender oil meets mood-brightening neroli this bubble bar is beautiful and could probably get 2/3 baths out of this! I actually asked Nathan for this for Valentine's day hahaha oops..
  4. Lover Lamp (Bath Bomb) £3.95 - (Valentine's Special) I fell for this when I see it put little hearts in the bath, this comes across like a simple bath bomb made from Fair Trade organic cocoa butter and Brazilian orange oil to soften the skin. 
  5. Prince Charming (Showel Gel) £4.95 for 100g - (Valentine's Special) now that I explore more with Lush products I have started to use more of the Showel Gel's such as The Comforter and Snow Fairy (Christmas Special) SO I decided to give the small bottle a whirl. Created with fresh pomegranate juice and lashings of uplifting grapefruit oil not to mention soothing marshmallow root and Fair Trade vanilla pod and organic cocoa butter to soften the skin. When I smelt this in store there was no specific smell so I thought it overall smelt lovely haha..
  6. Jackie Oates (foundation) £9.95 for 20g - for smoothing those pale complexions (me me me) it's made with oat milk as a base with added nurturing shea butter,honey,aloe vera and glycerine to hydrate. I just love foundations i have lots and lots so I wanted to add a Lush one to my collection.
  7. Rose Jam ( Bubbleroon) £3.75 - along with the green bubbleroon these have new formulas and this looks so pretty and lovely! Definitely be able to get 2 baths out of these! Made with lemon (yaaaaay) rose and geranium oil with Fair Trade cocoa and shea butter this smells unreal!
  8. The Kiss (Lips) £5.50 - (Valentine's Special) I have used one of these lip balms before in Honey Trap and I love it for moisturizing my lips before i use my mac lip liners and lipsticks. Infused with hydrating butter and Kalahari melon and organic jojoba oils combined with illipe oil and agave syrup this tints the lips perfect and looks so smooth! Gimee gimee gimee...
  9. Intergalactic (Bath Bomb) £3.95 -  I love the big kind of explosion bath bombs like The experimenter and how they shower a bath with colour so this looks unreal! An awesome mix of refreshing peppermint (LOVE LOVE LOVE) and neon colour while popping candy takes you on a trip around the Milky Way.
  10. Fizzbanger (Bath Bomb) £3.95 - described as a Catherine wheel of a bath bomb. IT CHANGES COLOUR AS IT FIZZES! whattttttt?! crackling popping candy releasing a cirtussy apple and then a cinnamon, apple pie like scent with a hint of yland ylang. How they created a citrussy apple scent I don't know but my life is complete! Also contains petitgrain for aromatherapy to calm the breathing, slow the heartbeat and reduce anxiety, I need like 20 of these!
  11. Avobath (Bath Bomb) £3.50 - Avobath in the morning to help you face the day: its lemongrass and bergamot oils combined with avacado (makes sense haha) and olive oil. Leaving a shimmering green effect to the water, this smelt unreal when I smelt it in Lush the other day!
  12. Cupcake (Fresh Face Mask) £6.75 for 75g - I have tried one mask before and it cleared my spots massively so this sounds lovely and smells just as good! Rhassoul mud works with cocoa powder along with linseed and cocoa butter to draw out all the dirt and impurities to give a deep cleanse! 
  13. Twilight (Bath Bomb) £3.50 - This one seems good for me and my insomnia nights! described on the Lush website 'If sleep is evading you, this combination of essential oils will help get you ready for a good night's rest. It turns from the colour of the setting sun and gets darker, turning your water a shimmering deep purple.' OOH SPOOKY! Lavendar used to sooth and mind clear while benzoin and tonka remind you of a milky caramel malt drink. This sounds so perfect I should probably buy like 20...
Well that is all for my lush wish list hopefully I can pick up the Valentine's specials before they run out before I am so desperate to try them! Hope you enjoyed the read my lovelies!

All my love,

Lush Haul Christmas 2015

Hi my lovelies! So when I was debating about what to do for my next post I was thinking about what I loved and what I enjoy, and I instantly thought about Lush. Maybe it was the scent of like sherbet and loveliness coming from my cake stand with all my bath bombs on that reminded me but anyway..

I received so many Lush goodies for Christmas especially of Nathan, he knows that Lush with me is just the safest gift so he bought me around 6/7 gifts that average at if I can remember £20.50. I'm one of them girls that is fine with knowing the cost of gifts like I'm so grateful for everything I receive, in all fairness I did pick these he just told me 'to go crazy and get 6 or 7' because he didn't wanna get me something I didn't like the smell off or that would bring me out in a glittery rash hahaha.





So I have had my cake stand for my bath bombs around 2 years and it has been filled with many things over this time such as soap and glory products, jewellery and recently bath bombs. My mum used to keep it in the kitchen with sweets and chocolate on until I pinched it for my room oops hahaha. Anyway, before Christmas I got a really nasty cold and I thought to clear my sinuses having warm baths would be good and I could use my bath bombs. Little did I know that my cold would last about 9 days and I used most of the bath bombs I had (cry cry cry) so Nathan brought me round a bag of around 4/5 bath bombs that he picked up as a treat to make me feel better. 

In a way my cold was a good thing because I got to try out lots of different bath bombs and bath bars such as Dragon's Egg which made my bath orange and sparkly! Along with dashing santa and santa clause that made my bath lovely and red with green and made my skin so soft with a lovely smell left on my skin.


One of the first bath treats I received of Nathan was 'Bar Humbug' Bubble Bar described as licorice bubbles to soak away your inner scrooge. I love the colour of this and the swirl as I am a big big fan of the comforter and candy mountain so he knew swirls were a winner plus my favourite colour is purple.


Second up is The Experimenter (£3.95) on the left, described as vibrant colours, popping candy and Fair Trade vanilla this bath bomb sounded AMAZING! I had seen it on Instagram I think and it literally made this girls bath look like a galaxy with so many mixed colours so I had to get one when Nathan offered Lush bath bombs for Christmas.

Next to The Experimenter is Dragon's Egg (£3.50) described as fizzling and crackling turning your bath into a citrusy gold, this bath bomb is reminiscent of sherbet (my favourite) with a hint of jasmine. I think this is why I probably have this bath bomb at the top of my list because I LOVE CITRUS! It also has tiny pieces of glitter in that look lovely on the skin once out of the bath! 


Probably a new product for me Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment (£2.00 each) described as soothing marshmallow and marigold powders if it doesn't remind you of dolly mixtures then it will definitely be cotton candy. I hadn't seen these in Lush before but Nathan let me get 2 because they were so cheap and small, but I actually went in after Christmas and picked up more because they smell so good! So glad they are in lush all year round!

Now an old classic for Lush at Christmas time Butterbear (£1.95) with a generous helping of cocoa butter with a vanilla smell this cute little bear will leave you with silky soft skin. I really enjoy this for a simple bath no big explosive bath bombs, really wish they did this all year round!


A joint Christmas special Dashing Santa ballistic (£2.95) this was one of my poorly surprises of Nathan, turns my bath a lovely red colour and smells amazing! Described as containing mandarin oil, bergamot oil and orange flower absolute that help put a spring in your step. which is exactly what I needed when I had my cold.

Now a Christmas Lush classic Snow Fairy (£12.95 for 500g) with a bubblegum and sweet vanilla fragrance I actually bought the smaller one that's around £3.75 well no Nathan bought it me to be fair as a back up incase I use the big one (doubt it) and it smells so good. I was super pleased to get this in my stocking on Christmas Day of my mum because it's my first shower gel from Lush and its a huge bottle.

Talking about Snow Fairy couldn't have that without it's bubble bar in crime, the lovely Candy Mountain(£2.45) one of my all-time-favourites this bubble bar turns my bath lovely and pink that's why I'm hoarding three on my cake stand so I don't run out haha. Also very pretty looking it makes me excited for the Lush Valentines collection with the unicorn horn that is multicoloured swirl bubble bar.

Also, a newby for me Stardust (£2.95) maybe it was the shape I was drawn to (excuse the pink smudge of Candy Mountain on it haha) Ugandan Vanilla from the Mountains of the Moon and precious intoxicating rosewood. This bath bomb is another one that is very simple smelling and seemed very relaxing, because I chose a lot of like bright and wacky scents I also wanted some simple bath bombs like this one and Butterbear.

Now probably two bath oils I am SUPER EXCITED for! You've been mangoed is another bath oil (£2.00 each) as soon as I seen the word mango I asked Nathan and he put two in a bag for me. I'm a bit of a weirdo but I love to sniff these they smell unreal! Made with the butter of mango and avocado, it also free's lemon and lemongrass with lime oils into your bath. Lush finally answered my prayers with this one because I love lime,mango and avocado, I will for sure be purchasing as many of these as possible!


A personal favourite of mine and Nathan's Ickle Baby Bot (£1.95) a gentle lavender bath bomb designed for kids makes the bath a gorgeous blue colour. It apparently is supposed to use its aromatherapy oils to soothe children and little ones to sleep (it works on me and chills Nathan out haha) while Lavender is a traditional medicine used to help skin irritation, burns and bug bites as I have delicate sensitive skin this works wonders on me.



Coming up to my last two products, Nathan bought these last two for me one as a Christmas gift and the other to replace the ones I used when I was poorly, starting of with The Comforter Shower Cream (£4.95 for 100g) Nathan chose this himself impressively as he wanted to get me the larger bottle but I insisted no as he spoilt me enough with all my other bath bombs. I love the comforter bubble bar and Nathan knew how much it has a place in my heart so he thought well why not try the shower gel without the hassle of running a bath.

And last but not least, The Comforter bubble bar (£4.95). with the snappy caption berry yourself in a fruity blanket this smells incredible! Smelling like blackcurrant the bergamot gives it an uplifting note, I love this as I can get 2/3 baths out of it because it is huge! It is literally bigger than my hand, so it is well worth the money! 





Well that's all for my Christmas Lush haul, thank you so much for reading and I hope it helped give some ideas of all the lovely things they have in Lush still, definitely worth checking out their Valentine's Day products too!
