Current Lush Favourites

I've had a little (big) obsession with Lush since the beginning of the year. I just really love bath time and like to spice things up a bit with multicoloured fizzing water and solid bubble bath. 

On my last trip to Lush, I realised I have a few favourite products that I continue to repurchase so I thought I'd share them with you! 

I have three bath bombs, a bubble bar and a massage bar on my list.

First up, bath bombs...

Big Blue

This bath bomb contains lavender and lemon oils, sea salt and little pieces of seaweed. I find it very good for relaxing your mind and body. I love the shade of blue it turns the water as it makes me feel like a mermaid.. I know some people dislike the seaweed pieces in the bath as it reminds them of worms but they don't bother me. 

Sakura 

As you may have guessed from the name, the inspiration for this bath bomb is the Japanese cherry blossom. It has a jasmine, mimosa and citrus scent. As you probably know, I have to steer clear of anything citrus but this is a very faint lemony/orange scent so it's a-okay. I love how it looks with the coloured pieces of sea salt on top, it reminds me of agate. 

Blackberry Bath Bomb

I don't know where to begin with this bath bomb. I could sniff it forever and never get bored. It just makes me feel so calm. It contains bergamont and frankincense oils which I seem to always get drawn to without realising. All I can say is you need to find one of these, sniff it, then obsess over it with me. 

In a less unlucky life, Sex Bomb would be on this list, alas, I'm horribly allergic to it.

Amandopondo Bubble Bar

This is probably my favourite Lush item of all. It smells very subtly of roses and lemon. It makes the most insane amount of bubbles with only a small amount of product. The main reason I love this so much is that it makes me feel so relaxed. I honestly don't like bubble baths as they make me feel very smothered but this is just so calming that it doesn't bother me at all. If you're looking for something to help you unwind and get into that sleepy zone, you need to try this. 

King of Skin

This massage bar is so gentle on your skin yet deeply hydrating. It has cocoa and Shea butter, oatmilk, avocado, banana, coconut oil and lots of other scented oils. It doesn't have much of a smell which is good if you have sensitive skin or if you aren't feeling too well and want to avoid sweet smelling lotions. I know they say to apply this then rinse it off but I find that really strange so I just apply it when I get out of the bath/shower while I'm still slightly damp. It soaks right in within a couple of minutes and leaves you feeling nice and soft.

I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe even got some inspiration for your future purchases.

I'd love to know what your favourite Lush items are so do let me know! :)

Lush: New Products: Bath Bombs

I spent the day in Dublin yesterday undergoing an EEG (please let me know if you'd like a post on this) afterwards I was feeling rather exhausted and in need of a pick me up. I headed towards Boots for some retail therapy.

I didn't actually plan on going into Lush at all but from across the street, I saw a sign for the May Day bath bomb. Curiosity got the best of me so I popped on in.

I picked up the little badger faced bath bomb and instantly knew I needed it. It contains Fennel, Rosewood and Bergamot oil which have cleansing, brightening and antiseptic properties leaving you feeling uplifted. Lush say that it has a sherberty fragrance but I personally get a slightly more liquorice scent from it. I usually run a mile from liquorice anything but this is very muted.
If the cute factor alone isn't enough to reel you in, proceeds from the sales of these little guys (excluding VAT) go to organisations such as Save Me who work to vaccinate badgers and in turn prevent them from being culled.

I also picked up the Granny Takes a Dip bath bomb. This bath bomb contains ginger, pepper and lemon oils. Again, a scent I usually wouldn't go for as anything citrus scented gives me a migraine but the pepper and ginger scents manage to balance everything out.
The lady helping me out in the store told me that the outer ring of this bath bomb is actually a bubble bar so, not only do you get psychedelic bath water, you also get to soak in a relaxing bubble bath.

I'm really looking forward to using both of these! 

Have you picked any of the new products from Lush? Let me know :)
