Lush Lush Lush Lush Lush :)

So this is long overdue as I planned to do this post a few days ago and just got side-tracked, sorry! As you can tell from the title this is about all things Lush, one of my favourite stores, its my go to place when I want to have a luxury bath. These are things that I was given for Christmas, or that I bagged in the sales :)


 
Popcorn Lip Scrub-  In the Winter I suffer terribly from chapped and sore lips, well that's all changed! This scrub prevents my lips getting a build up of dead skin/chapped skin (pleasant I know) before it becomes a real problem. Its made from tiny crystals and the smell is so gorgeous, exactly what you can imagine it to smell like if not better!  
9/10

Think Pink Bath Bomb- The name indicates the colour your bath will go when you use this, pink lovers will adore this product! You will be surrounded by a bright bubble pink bath which for me makes me feel cheerful :) This isn't my favourite bathbomb from Lush, but it is again amazing. 
7/10
The Comforter Bubble Bar- I will try to contain my excitement when it comes to this product but this bubble bar has to be my ultimate favourite from everything in the Lush franchise. It smells like blackcurrant and gives the bath a slight pink tinge, also the amount of bubbles you can make with the bubble bars is beyond what I first thought. They can be great value for money as you don't use the whole thing at once, well you can if you wish, but I tend to get three or four baths out of one bar. Totally amazing, I always re-buy and I can't fault it.
 10/10
Amandopondo Bubble Bar- Well this smells exactly like Turkish Delight, the rose flavoured ones. The smell is powerful and full without becoming overpowering. One I would recommend if you tend to lean for flowery smells. This bubble bar leaves the water with a cloudy colour and leaves skin feeling soft.
 8/10
Enchanter Bath Bomb-This bath bomb was brought out around October time, I happened to try it on a whim as I tend to lean more towards the pink/flowery/fruity products but I thought I would give it a chance. I am so glad I did! You would think for the colour of the bath bomb that it would leave your bath yellow and orange, which it does, but it also throws in some florescent pink for good measure. It's really fresh and uplifting great for those baths in the morning, when you really don't want to be awake just yet. I got very excited when I first used this and have since bought perhaps too many of them ;) as originally they were going to be limited edition, but have decided to keep them on! 
9/10
Rose Jam Bubble Bar- Another bubble bar, which is similar to the Amandopondo with its rose smell but doesn't have the sweet Turkish Delight edge. I actually really like this product and it's fast becoming one of my favourites, mainly for how sweet and lovely it smells. As you can see in the picture it comes in two pieces which are together, so I tend to split it down the middle and get two baths out of it.
7/10
Twilight Bath Bomb- As you may have read in other posts I have go through phases of having dire sleep, this bath bomb really helps me when I am going through a stressful or sleepless time. The lavender smell isn't too strong and for someone who doesn't normally like the smell of lavender it's a complete winner for me! It leaves swirls of pink/purple and blue in the bath and just completely relaxes the mind and body. I will definitely be stocking up on these when I get back to uni and deadlines loom!
8/10
Cream Candy Bubble Bar-Exactly what the name would suggest the smell of this product is like being inside a sweet shop, the aroma of tubs of sweets floats around the bathroom and takes you back to the old school sweet shops. I would strongly recommend this for anyone who enjoys Snow Fairy in the Winter months, as you can buy this all year round and it's just as sweet and uplifting just without the pear scent. I love this product and this again is one that I will always go back to repurchase.
8/10

Snow Fairy!!- Well this doesn't really need much of an introduction as most people who shop at Lush will know about the famous Snow Fairy. This product doesn't tend to get many bad reviews and once you smell it and use it for yourself you will see why. As I mentioned above it has a smell of pear, pear drops to be exact and mixed with cotton candy it's an intense sweet smell that fills the whole of the bathroom. As you can see from the picture there are tiny specs of blue purple glitter which in my experience don't come out onto the skin. I tend to use this as a body wash as the smell is really long lasting so I can keep the smell with me during the day. The only problem I have with this is the fact that you can only buy this on the run up to Christmas and I am greedy and want it available all year round, but I suppose that is part of the Snow Fairy magic!
10/10

I would also like to add a little mention to the people who work at the Lush store in my hometown of Peterborough, I have been shopping at Lush since I was a teenager and have always had any help that I have needed. They also make everyone who walks into their store completely welcome as they are always upbeat and willing to give you any guidance. So thank you staff at Peterborough Queensgate Lush Store :)


So what are your favourite bath time treats?
What do you normally treat yourself to at Lush?
Is there anything you think I have missed out that I should try?
