This cute bear shaped massage bar intrigues me. *Honey Bear smells divine! I actually used him after my shower yesterday morning and my skin was nice and soft. Didn't feel greasy as I did expect that from a massage bar, but it felt lovely to use.
Not going to lie, when I saw this bath bomb called *Madame President, the first thing I thought of was the ball that is in Toy Story. But back to bomb, I'm not sure on the scent of it but I can't wait to see the colours it will make my bath water.

I had a lil trip to Lush not so long ago and I was so happy to see all the new Spring collection. When I looked upon my Lush collection in my bedroom, I noticed that had a sad looking sparkly pumpkin from October time and half of my comforter bubble bar. So, when I went into Lush I knew it was for a reason...to get some new bits! I went with two old favourites so they made an appearance in my basket.
Lemony Flutter - If you want something that smells like Spring in a pot, you need this. As soon as I smelt this in the shop it reminded me of a lemon curd. To be honest here, my cuticles aren't in the best condition so when I saw this I just had to get it. You only need a small amount of this to smooth over any dry patches on your fingers and it leaves them feeling soft. I have to say, since using this my cuticles are looking decent.
Sex Bomb - An old favourite of mine and one I think everybody loves is this bath bomb. The design itself reminds me of Spring and along with the scent of jasmine. This is a perfect pick me up after a stressful day.
Ups-A-Daisy - This one was part of the mothers day collection but it is still online to get hold of! I am in love with this bath bomb. The design and scent is just beautiful. I can already imagine how this will look when it is fizzing in my bath but I am too scared to use it as it is so pretty!
Which Came First? - If you love the smell of grapefruit like me, then you need to get hold of this bath bomb. A lovely girl in the shop said that you can use this one many times just by breaking it up if I really wanted to which I didn't know.
Twilight - Personal favourite and one I will always pick up again and again is this bath bomb. This is the perfect treat for bed time when you just want to relax and settle in a shimmering deep purple bath. Trust me, if you have not picked this up before you really do need to.

Today I thought that I would share with you my heavenly skin care from Lush. Now I call them heavenly because they truly are. I only started buying these treats a couple of months ago as I always just bought the bath bombs until I was convinced one day when I was in the Birmingham store. My collection has grown since then, so here I am to share with you my favourites...
Cup O' Coffee Face & Body Mask - As soon as you open this tub you are hit with the incredible scent of coffee. I have already nearly used all of this up and I love it. My skin loves it and I should think so as I apply a good helping , leave it on for 5 minutes and then apply a little warm water, and gently scrub to remove it. It wakes up my skin which is bloomin' marvellous!
D'Fluff Strawberry Shaving Soap - Now this one is fairly new to my collection. As I was making an online order I came across this and I just couldn't resist. I think I'm very new to the party but I never knew Lush did shaving soaps. This is just as pink and fluffy as you'd expect. It feels like some sort of foam and is scented with strawberry and vanilla. I tried this out the first time the other day on my legs and it really works like a treat. My legs felt so soft and smelt lovely afterwards. If you're looking to invest in a new hair removal treatment, I would definitely get this one!
Salted Coconut Hand Scrub - When the cold days hit us in the UK, I wanted to get myself a really good hand cream/scrub so I went to trusty Lush for help. I came across this tub and I was hooked instantly. I take a small scoop of this and massage it onto my dry hands. Add a little water and then rinse to cleanse. It contains coconut oil, sea salt, aragan oil and lemon which leaves hands so so soft and hydrated. This is a cold weather saviour.
Snow Fairy Body Conditioner - Same as Sleepy this one is also not available in store or online, but I just needed to share this one with you. My showers have become such a treat lately with this product. Whilst I'm in the shower I simply slather this cream all over my skin, rinse and then pat dry to allow the conditioning, and oils to sink in. You smell of a sweet scent that lingers on for hours.

Whilst I was in Brighton the other day I decided to go into the one shop that excites me, Lush. I saw all the Christmas goodies and I just found myself screaming inside with joy. I did stop myself from picking up a bottle of the Snow Fairy shower gel as I already have 3 bottles from last years trip. But here are my Lush Christmas picks this year...
So White Bath Bomb - "Crisp apple-scented waters, as pure as the driven snow, fizz and foam, while bergamot oil and rose absolute restore peace and calm." Now doesn't that just sound AMAZING. I really cannot wait to use this as a pick me up on a cold Novembers day.
Peeping Santa Bubble Bar - I love the bubble bars from Lush and I just had to pick up this one up again because It gives you so many bubbles and it smells SO good.
Christmas Penguin Bubble Bar - This is a super cute bubble bar but oh so fragile! One of the staff in Lush said that this paried with Shoot For The Stars will make your bath look incredible. Sadly it wasn't in the Brighton store so I may have to go out and pick it up to try them both together.
Never Mind The Ballistics - Oh my this just smells incredible. The lime and sweet wild orange oils are fresh and peachy on the nose, really shakes up your mood. Could you imagine the colours that would come out in your bath? I think this could be Instagram worthy.
Snow Fairy Body Conditioner - I couldn't just walk away from the skin treats. I have already used some of this this morning and it is so simple to use. Slather this over your skin whilst you are in the shower, rinse and then pat dry yourself and allow the oils to sink in. Your skin will smell of candy/sweets that lingers for hours.
Sleepy Body Lotion - Another skin saviour I couldn't leave behind is this twilight scented, lavender cream which contains skin softening oats and coco butter. No lie, if you use this before you go to sleep, it really helps you drift off. There's something truly magical about this stuff...may have to pick up a bigger pot!
What is your favourite from this years range?

Last weekend I finally popped into Lush to pick up a few pieces from their new Halloween Collection. They had a lot of the Christmas Collection also, but I was drawn to the cute pumpkins and pretty leaves. My bedroom and bathroom has already been filled with incredible scents, so so happy with my purchases.
Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar - A purchase I had to make again as I picked up a few of these last year is the sparkly pumpkin. I adore the scent of this little cutie - citrus and cinnamon. The fragrance lingers onto your skin and creates so many bubbles which I love coming from a bubble bar!
Rose Jam Shower Gel - Although this is from the Christmas range, I couldn't just not pick up a small bottle of Rose Jam as it is my all time favourite. Vanilla infusion combined with cleansing Sicilian lemon oil and fresh berry juice, it is one to lather up in the shower because it is gorgeous.
Ruby Red Slippers Bubble Bar - How lovely is this bubble bar? Another one for Christmas this year and I am in love. I have to say, this smells IN-CRED-IBLE. The spicy, floral fragrance will just relax you while you click your heels together in the bath.
Autumn Leaf Bath Bomb - This scent is ideal for Autumn with Japanese maple, soothing sandalwood oil and uplifting bergamot and neroil, It's the perfect morning bath treat. I saw a demo of this one in store and it creates lovely reds and orange clouds as it fizzes away.
Shoot For The Stars Bath Bomb - One bath bomb that they have improved and changed is Shoot For The Stars. I saw one of the girls in the store do a demo of this and I was hooked instantly. It looks incredible to watch especially while you're in the bath, watching the water turn into a starry night sky.
Monsters Ball Bath Bomb - I thought this one would be a fun bath treat to have judging by the colours. I can't really describe the scent but It is really uplifting so I could imagine using this on the cooler days.
Have you picked up anything from the two new ranges?

When I came across Lush as I was walking through town the other day i noticed they still had their Easter range in so I thought I would take a look and yes, I made a purchase. I was disappointed to not see Humpty Dumpty in there as I really wanted to give him a try but I did get some lovely bath bombs. It is best to get them while you can as I'm sure they will be gone very soon.
Rose Bombshell Bath Bomb / £3.95 Each - How gorgeous does this look? I cannot wait to see what this looks like when it enters the water. If only smell vision existed because if you could smell this you would want to buy it.
What Came First? Bath Bomb / £6.95 Each - I am very excited about this bath bomb. A lovely guy at the Birmingham Lush store gave me a tip on how to make this bath bomb last. He said if you try and break it by tapping it onto something there is another egg inside which is also a bath bomb. I never knew this until he told me and I thought I would let you all know in case you do buy this bath bomb.

I am loving Lush's Spring collection, they have so many cute products in, especially this Ladybird. I couldn't bring myself to put it in my bath but in she went (only half of her) and I had a great bubble bath. The smell the Ladybird gives off is just wonderful. I would have to say that this one is the best I have tried in a long while. The water went a gorgeous bright strawberry red and the smell that went with it was LUSH. You get a fruity scent but with a hint of mint that comes out when you're in the bath. I came out feeling super soft as always with any Lush product and smelt dreamy. I will be very sad when this little one leaves the stores but I am very sure that Lush will give us more gorgeous treats over the next months.

I slipped and fell into Lush yet again, but this time they finally had brand new additions in for this Spring/Easter. I don't know if it is just me but I love their Spring collection every year. The bright colours and beautiful scents just make me spend so much money that it makes my bank balance cry. But if you saw these products, you wouldn't just not leave without them.
Flowering Tea Reusable Bubble Bar / £4.95 - How sweet is this tea bag bubble bar. This is part of the Mother's Day range and I could see why, who's mother doesn't love a cup of tea? The special part about this is that you can reuse it and that makes me happy. Also, when you run it under your tap not only does it create bubbles but fragrant, flower petals fall into your bath which create a smell to help you relax. I really can't wait to see how this will look.
Ladybird Bubble Bar / £3.95 - Now this is well cute, a ladybird. I loved the look of this and the smell well, it really is amazing. It reminds me very much of The Comforter by the smell, very sweet. You can also keep using this one as you can break it up easily and use it again.
Bunch Of Carrots / £6.25 - I remember seeing these last year but the price had always put me off as I thought it was too pricey. But I gave in to the gorgeous smell and how they looked really wanted me to see what they would do. Again, you can reuse these which I like. I'm not really sure if they are a bubble bar as it wasn't stated in store or online but they look too cute for Easter.

It's not surprising that I rate this bubble bar the most gorgeous one that Lush are selling right now. When I discovered that It was coming out with the Valentines range, I was very excited to get my hands on it and try it out. What is surprising about this product is that it smells nothing like you would imagine it would. The design invites you into a sweet offering. Instead, this bubble bar has a very light and rather gentle lavender aroma.
It is very easy to use. It's very soft to touch and crumbles with ease so just be careful that you have somewhere to store the crumbled pieces until you need them. But I decided to run it under the tap which didn't break off a lot anyway. After running it under the running tap, the tub filled with wonderfully soft and fragrant bubbles - although again, the lavender was strong enough to be appreciated but gentle enough that it wasn't overpowering. Even though this does not send your bath water in crazy colours, this bubble bar does wonders at calming your body and mind offering you a really relaxing, soothing bathing experience. I used this before settling to bed and I really loved how clean and comforted I felt after I exited the bath. I know some Lush lovers who love their baths to be all bright colours in their tub, but for me I never cared about that at all with this product. I appreciate that soft and refreshed that I felt after I had used it in my bath.

Hello all, here I am again with one of my popular posts, a Lush haul. I went on two separate Lush sprees. One of the stores didn't have my personal favourites but had two newbies. But I went to another store yesterday and I finally got my favourites that I continue to buy every time. You'll have probably seen me brag about a few of these bath treats but if not then do carry on reading.
Twilight Bath Bomb / £3.50 Each - A first personal favourite of mine. I absolutely love this bath bomb so much. It is designed to help you sleep so it's filled with lavender which is soothing, mind clearing and calming among other ingredients. It also looks so nice when it explodes into the water.
Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar / £4.25 Each - Now look at this beauty, just take it all in. It is a Unicorn Horn! I remember buying this a few months back but it was a little bit bigger and it had small stars inside of it. This is perfect for those gloomy dull days that we are currently having here in the UK with his dreamy smell and the magic it creates in the bath.
The Comforter Bubble Bar / £4.95 Each - Ah the reliable Comforter Bubble Bar. I just love this product and how many baths you can get out of it. Also, if you love a pink bath like myself then this does just that. It turns into a gorgeous pink shade and smells beautiful. I still haven't picked up the shower gel version and it really bugs me every time I miss it. Maybe next time...
Lover Lamp Bath Bomb / £3.95 Each - A newbie to the Valentines crew is this bath bomb. This is super cute and it smells like Terry's white chocolate orange with a bit of vanilla. One of the lovely girls in the shop said that when the love hearts come out of the ball, you can rub them all over your skin as they contain cocoa butter. I cannot wait to use this.
Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb / £3.50 Each - I always buy this bath bomb without a fail. I love it so much. You can see a full review on it here. I need to buy at least many more of these when I do go into Lush because once I have used one I am so unhappy.

Lush's The Magic Of Christmas - £5.95 Each
I know I am a little late with this now but I still haven't talked about how much I love The Magic Of Christmas Wand from Lush. I used this over Christmas and I couldn't get enough. The smell and the bubbles it creates is amazing. I got at least 3-4 baths from this as it is reusable and you can just break off small pieces.
The bar is shaped like a star and is placed at the end of a cinnamon stick with a red ribbon and a small bell tied on it. It is so beautiful to look at with it's burnt orange shade covered in gold glimmer. It has an almond smell to it along with the cinnamon. You can make pretty swirls in the water when you move it around in the water to make it a light orange shade. I couldn't smell the cinnamon as soon as it hit the water, just that lovely orange smell that wasn't too strong. I will most likely buy this again when it is released in Lush.

While I was doing a little Christmas shopping I decided to go into the one shop that excites me, Lush. I saw all the Christmas products and I just found myself screaming inside with joy. I don't think anyone like myself can go into Lush and resist buying anything - If you can I'm extremely jealous of you! I had already bought a few bits on my previous trip to Lush but I saw these products and I couldn't just leave without trying them out.
MMMelting Marshmallow Moment - Bath Oil: Doesn't this look like something you would get from a pick n mix? The smell is so strong of sweet marshmallow. So these kind of work like bath bombs, you just put them into your bath and they melt slowly, rather than fizzing like the bombs. This is such a cute little melt - it smells just like candy!
The Magic Of Christmas - Reusable Bubble Bar: This one truly captures Christmas, I mean just look at it! It smells of oranges and candid fruits. Like the Magic Wand, it is reusable and you can get up to 10 baths out of the product according to the girl who served me in Lush.
Big Bang - Bubble Bar: This isn't the biggest bubble bar in the world, but that doesn't bother me much to be honest. It's a beautiful blue shade, with yellow dots around it and a big pink star in the middle. The pink star is actually a bath melt. I'm really excited to see what this brings to my bath time.
Bar Humbug - Bubble Bar: Although this doesn't smell too Christmassy, I really do like the scent! It smells like liquorice and blackcurrant which is a nice alternative to my favourite which is The Comforter this winter.
Snow Fairy - Shower Gel: Every year I see bloggers stocking up on the festive favourite so that they can use it all year round - so I thought I would buy it to see what all the hype was about. And now I see why! It smells bloomin' gorgeous! I may have to buy myself another bottle.

It's that time of year where Lush start bringing in their Christmas range. This pretty much excites me so much as I really do love their Christmas products. They always look too good to use especially their Star Dust Bath Bomb which caught my eye. It's a plain white star as you can see with subtle gold lustre and although you can't see it in the picture there's also spots of a frosty blue in it. It contains fine sea salt, fair trade vanilla absolute, rosewood oil and bergamot oil. There's only a light scent and I would say it's vanilla based.
When I did drop it into the bath I thought it would just fizz in under 20 seconds, but instead it was holding out for a bit longer, lasting maybe a minute or so. It starts off with a white foam and then some light flashes of blue start to appear. Soon enough some small red, blue, green and yellow stars started to come out from the middle. They were made out rice paper so they did soon enough dissolve. This gave such a pretty effect as the coloured stars moved around the water.
When I got out of the bath the lestre settled onto my skin. Although once I dried and moisturised myself some of it went away. The bath was also a tiny bit glittery but it went away easily as soon as I cleaned out the bath. At £2.95 it is one of the cheapest products in the Christmas range and although it doesn't put on much of a show as many of the other products that Lush have to offer, I thought it was a lovely bath bomb. If you know me from my other Lush reviews then you will know that I do prefer bubble bars, but I do love some bath bombs that offer some benefits to my skin as long as they're not too expensive.
Have you tried any of the products from the Christmas range?

Yesterday I did a spot of shopping and had some lunch with a friend. I obviously had to pop into Lush. I was excited to see some new bath treats. I decided to pick just 3 things as near Christmas time I probably will be buying them all. But I am very excited about these bath treats!
Cinder Bath Bomb: This smells heavenly! Cinnamon is my favourite smell so that's a little biased. I've tried other Lush products with popping candy in before and it always works well in the bath. I could imagine it to fizz out so quickly that I will probably miss something exciting but I will have to see what happens when I use it.
Yog Nog Bath Bomb: A Christmas scented bath bomb now and I am rather excited about this. Egg Nog is one of my favourite things about Christmas. The smell is gorgeous, you would think to eat it because it smells like toffee. One of the lovely staff members in Lush said that this would be perfect for one of those cold winter evenings.
Star Dust Bath Bomb: How sweet is this star, I absolutely love this. Just reading the description of this treat automatically made me buy this:
"Follow yonder star all the way to the bathroom; it will bear exotic gifts of Fair Trade Ugandan vanilla from the Mountains of the Moon and precious rosewood from the depths of the Peruvian rainforest. A twinkly dip in its starlit waters gives a bergamot-powered boost to the mind and body - ideal for a little post-party recovery. Note: wise men not included. "- If that doesn't make you want to buy it, then I don't know what will.

My skincare collection grows more and more everyday. Even though Clinque's 3 step skin care has recently helped my skin, I can't help but not stop using my old favourites. These products are always repurchased over and over again because they are just bloomin' good!
The Body Shop's Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion - £9.00 is a great new moisturiser for blemish-prone skin. Tea tree lotions and potions have never let me down when it comes to spot fighting and this cream is great for soothing my break outs while keeping my oily t-zone at bay.
Bioderma Make-Up Remover - £3.30 has become a big favourite of mine. Although I love Garnier's Michellar Water because it is so cheap and works just as good, Bioderma is just the best. It washes all of my make-up off so easily and my face always looks so clean. I like to use it especially in the mornings as it seems to wake up my skin and then of course at night when I take off my day/evening make-up.
Lush Eau Roma Water - £8.50 is now my third bottle, I just love this stuff. The one thing I do with this toner is spray it onto a cotton pad and apply it all over my face after using Bioderma as it freshens up my skin and removes any of that remaining make-up that I cannot see before I move onto moisturising. I am a big fan of this toner.
thank you for reading!♥
As soon as you drop it into the water, it immediately fizzes into a blend of snow white and sky blue. This instantly made me feel happier and calmer. Once it all dissolved, the white element felt so soft and moisturising on my skin, which means it was not only fun to use but also beneficial. Soon after the water was a gorgeous blue with a glitter sheen on the surface of the water. It all felt very magical! The glitter did stay on my skin and still is after yesterday.
Cleaning out the bath wasn't too much hassle especially as I thought it would be with all the glitter and bright blue. I would recommend picking it up if it is still available as it's such a treat to experience!
thank you for reading!♥
