Mini Lush Haul

Hey guys!

Now one thing you should know about me is that I love baths! Seriously, as soon as Autumn hits, I have a bath at least once a week. And when its the Christmas holidays its even more often! 

For me, a good bath means having dimmed lights, bubbles, a bath bomb, candles, a cold glass of water with ice and either a good book or Netflix. Sometimes I'll even put in some bath salts to make it extra special.

There are many different brands out there that do bubble baths and the like but my favourite place of all time to get these products has got to be Lush! You've all heard of Lush, but just incase you haven't, its a company that sells freshly handmade cosmetics for your body and the bath. The products they sell range from bath bombs, bubble bars, moisturisers, exfoliants and even more. The list is never ending! What I really like about Lush is all their products are free from animal testing. And having studied animal welfare in my second year of university, seeing the pain animals go through when used for testing is absolutely horrific! So knowing that you can have a deeply relaxing bath using products that are free of animal testing makes it all the better! 

So the other day I had a girlie shopping day with my mum and of course we had to go into the Lush store! I only bought four things; one bubble bar and three bath ballistics, but I'm sure they will be gone by the end of the month, if not before! When you purchase a product from Lush, you have the option to have a label on each bag, telling you what is inside and the perfect way to use it. So without further ado, here are my purchases...

Brightside - bubble bar
This bright, triple orange-scented bubble bar is large enough for at least two baths. Crumble half a bar under a running tap to enjoy mountains of uplifting, zesty bubbles. 

This gorgeous orange bubble bar has a deeper citrus scent, that reminds me of an orange vineyard. It smells incredible! So good you could eat it (but don't do that obviously!) It leaves you with orange bath water and weightless bubbles. Its main ingredients are Sicilian Mandarin, Bergamot and Tangerine Oil, leaving you feeling refreshed. 

Dragon's Egg - bath ballistic

The scent of this is absolutely amazing! Its white in appearance with hints of colour that are on the inside. It smells like sherbet lemon sweeties and its main ingredients are Lemon Oil, Bergamot Oil, Jasmine Absolute and a touch of popping candy. The citrusy scent leaves you feeling relaxed and invigorated. 

Blackberry Bath Bomb - bath ballistic

 My first thought when I smelt this was floral and fruity with a slight woody smell. Its a gorgeous blue colour and its main ingredients are Frankincense Oil and Bergamot Oil. This bath bomb is good for relieving tension as Bergamot Oil is used in aromatherapy for nervous tension, depression and anxiety. The Frankincense Oil slows the breathing and induces a feeling of wellbeing.

Honey Bee - bath ballistic

This has a slightly deeper scent compared to the other bath ballistics and smells exactly like it says on the tin - honey. Its main ingredients are Rhassoul Mud - a clay mined near Morocco's Atlas Mountains (I looked that bit up on the Lush website haha), Honey and Aloe Vera. This trio of ingredients soothes and cleanses the skin leaving it feeling smooth and soft. 

Lush's description of a bath ballistic - 'run yourself the perfect temperature bath, get in, then take a moment to let go of the world outside your bathroom, before launching your ballistic into the water and watch it fizz away'.

Something I love about Lush is they bring out seasonal products. They have Halloween themed bath bombs, Easter bunnies, lightly scented products that represent  Spring/Summer perfectly, but my favourite time of year (which if you know me, will come as no surprise to you) is Christmas! The Lush Christmas range is incredible! They have so many new bath products shaped like Father Christmas, Snowmen, Christmas Trees and so many other Christmasy things. Its just amazing! And their scents... I cannot put into words just how heavenly the Christmas range smells. Its everything you imagine Christmas to smell of, but in your bath! I just don't know what to add to my basket when I'm either in the shop or on their website, as there is so many to choose from! I think its safe to say that I will be placing a rather large order closer to Christmas!
