Lush Haul

I'm ashamed to admit that I have not visited a Lush store in a while now. However, the realization that Lush's Christmas products are out now is what tempted me into a store. I had completely used up all of my Lush products so this was the perfect opportunity to stock up - mainly on bubble bars as these are my favourite product that Lush sells!

The first Christmas product I picked up was the Five Gold Rings. They are five glittery bubble bars held together on a string, which crumble and foam when placed in water. I was attracted to this product because it contains vanilla (a scent I absolutely adore!), and it's also packed with illipe butter and moringa oil, which are two skin softening ingredients. This product definitely gets me into the Christmas spirit, even if there is still nine weeks to go...

The second Christmas product I got was the Butterbear. I'm usually attracted to the colourful or glittery products that Lush has to offer, however, I picked up the Butterbear because of the ingredients it contains; skin softening cocoa butter paired with a beautiful vanilla scent. This product is a real winner for me as when I step out the bath my skin feels silky smooth, so I will definitely be visiting Lush in the near future to pick up some more of these.

After browsing the Christmas products for a good twenty minutes I turned my attention to this Sparkly Pumpkin for Halloween. This citrus bubble bar turns the bath water a vibrant orange colour and makes me feel rather autumnal - especially with some pumpkin scented candles lit around the bath. The bubble bar contains juniperberry, lime and grapefruit oils, which are perfect for soaking in the bath for hours!

Once I'd finished looking at the themed products I bought a couple of the regular products; the first one was The Comforter. This could be my favourite Lush product ever! I've bought this many times now and I manage to get about five baths out of each bubble bar. It foams very quickly under water and turns the bath water an amazing pink colour - which doesn't stain the bath tub. The cassis absolute gives a pleasant fruity fragrance and my skin feels smooth for hours after getting out of the bath. I urge anyone who hasn't already tried one of these to go and buy one!

The last product I picked up was the Granny Takes a Dip bubble bar. I had never tried this one before (or the bath bomb which is now discontinued I believe) but I had heard many rave reviews about it. The bubble bar smells incredible; it's a blend of ginger, pepper and lemon oil. It also foams very quickly, however, the bath bomb version of this is apparently more colourful. I would love to try the Granny Takes a Dip bath bomb, if it gets brought back out, to compare the two of them.

Overall, I'm loving all of the products I recently purchased from Lush and I will definitely be going back there before Christmas to pick up some of their other Christmas products - so watch this space for a 'Lush Christmas Haul'! What products are you liking from Lush at the moment?
