Spring Lush Haul

Hiya Guys!

I'm back again with another Lush haul, this time it's a Spring Lush haul so it's a mixture of products from a few different collections. There are products from the Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Easter Collections, now although I'm aware these are over there are still some products left in store and online as they are limited edition until stock sells out. But I also just thought I'd still upload this post as they may bring some of the products back to the Lush Kitchen and I thought it'd be useful to have the information on a certain product that you may be interested in.

I won't be leaving links to the products which were limited edition as I know that most of them aren't available online but like I say if you pop into store you maybe lucky and be able to pick some up. So I'm going to crack on!

Bunch Of Carrots - Reusable Bubble Bar


This adorable set of three reusable Bubble Bars are from the Easter collection this year. I love how Lush create different and clever ideas for the reusable Bubble Bars and it's no different with these. I'm probably going to use them individually and hold them under the running tap by the 'leaves'. Although I've recently started using a tea strainer for my regular Bubble Bars. I just snap a piece off whichever bar I'm using a pop it into the tea strainer and hold that under the water and it makes the bubbles so much more fluffier and you don't risk burning your fingers trying to crumble it under the running water!

This product has a really fresh and fruity scent which is perfect for Spring. The scent probably comes from two of the main ingredients 'Sicilian Lemon Oil' and 'Bergamont Oil' which are both 'Uplifting and Cleansing'.

Dragons Egg - Bath Bomb


Dragons Egg Bath Bomb is in the permanent collection at Lush and is one of the products that I always pick up when I'm in store as it's one of my all time favourites. The scent is just incredible, it honestly smells like sherbet that you could easily eat. Now although it doesn't look that exciting on the outside compared to other bombs such as The Experimenter for example you need to trust me on this one and pick one up.

Although it has the two of the same main ingredients as Bunch of Carrots ('Sicilian Lemon Oil' and 'Bergamont Oil') it's a lot different with regards to the scent. It smells so much sweeter and if you are into all things sweet scented this Bath Bomb is for you. It also has a lovely orangey/gold inside so when you pop it in the bath and the white outer layer fizzes away the amazing colour inside starts to come through and the little pieces of multi-coloured confetti start to show.


Floating Island - Bath Oil


I never really cared for trying Bath Oils before but when I found this in store I thought I'd give it a try and I'm so glad I did! They aren't the most exciting products ever, they don't create an exciting, colourful and fun bath but they really do make your skin feel incredible.

All you need to do is pop the whole thing in your bath and just let it melt away and do it's magic. It's a really creamy product hence the reason for leaving your skin feeling so lovely. The main ingredients are 'Sandalwood Oil', 'Fair Trade Vanilla Pod Seeds' and 'Organic Shea Butter' which explains the rich creamy scent. I would recommend this product if you suffer from dry and sensitive skin.


Fluffy Egg - Bath Bomb


Ok now this product from the Easter collection is EVERYTHING. If you can get to a Lush store and this is still available you need to get one (or 10). If you follow me on Instagram @amberjainee you will have seen my recent video and pictures of this Bath Bomb and you'll know how much I'm in love.

It's a Bath Bomb that smells like Snow Fairy...... What more could anyone want ?? And if you're unfortunate enough to not know what Snow Fairy smells like I feel sorry for you, when it's Christmas you need to go to Lush and smell it and I promise you won't be disappointed, it's my favourite Lush scent ever. As soon as you pop it in the bath it fizzes away very quickly and leaves your bath an amazing bright pink colour with the Snow Fairy scent lingering. I don't really have much to say on this other than if you can buy it, do!

Golden Egg - Bath Bomb Melt


I'm a little bit in two minds about this product don't get me wrong it looks cute and smells really good but the glitter is SOO annoying, one touch of this product and you will have glitter on you for a good 3 weeks....

But I think the scent tops that and I'll just have to deal with the glitter. In my opinion Golden Egg smells a lot like Honey I Washed The Kids and I love the Bath Bomb Melt's - it's such a lovely combination. The outer layers melts away which leaves your water silky smooth revealing with Bath Bomb to fizz away. If you don't mind the glitter I'd recommend this. The Lush website describes this product as 'Toffee-scented, molten gold and packed full of Fair Trade Colombian cocoa butter'.


Humpty Dumpty - Bath Bomb


This massive Bath Bomb is from the Easter range this year, which I'm sure you can tell from the name. The reason it's so big is because there is actually a Bath Bomb within the Bath Bomb - if you crack this product in half it reveals a little Bath Bomb egg so although you are paying a little extra than usual you can use this as three separate bombs which I intend on doing.

The scent to me gives off a honey/caramel scent with hints of citrus. Which sound like an odd combination but actually works really well together. The Lush website advises that two of the main ingredients are 'Sicilian Lemon Oil' and 'Bergamont Oil' which are both 'Uplifting and Cleansing'.


Intergalactic - Bath Bomb


This is another product which I always pick up when I'm in store and has become one of my favourites. Purely because it's absolutely stunning in the water, it turns the water the deepest blue and leaves glitter floating in the water. When you first drop this Bath Bomb into the water it's honestly like something from Outer Space, I have pictures on my Instagram for those interested.

It has a very refreshing peppermint scent to it and the main ingredients are 'Peppermint Oil' which is 'Cooling and Invigorating', 'Grapefruit Oil' which is 'Uplifting and Refreshing' and 'Cedarwood Oil' which is 'Toning and Balancing'.


Karma - Bubble Bar


I've seen this product in store quite a few times now and never bothered picking it up, to be honest it's the scent that I'm not that much of a fan of but this time I thought I'd give it a try.

It smells a lot like the Holly Golightly Bubble Bar from the Christmas Range which I didn't rave over but for those who like warm and super relaxing scents I would suggest giving this one a smell in store. The one thing I do really enjoy about this Bubble Bar is the colour it turns your water, it goes an amazingly deep purple with gold glitter throughout. But it's not overly glittery, you can touch this product without having glitter on you for 10 years!


Ladybird - Bubble Bar


This little lady is from the Mother's Day collection and smells SO good. It has a really fresh minty scent which isn't something I'd usually say would be in the Mother's Day collection but it makes a nice change from the traditional super sweet scents.

Why wouldn't you want to buy this product? Just look how cute it is. I don't want to ever use it... This product along side Intergalactic Bath Bomb would work so well.

Lover Lamp - Bath Bomb


This product is from the Valentine's Day collection which I know is over a month ago so you're probably thinking why are you even blogging about this now..... And I know I'm SO bad with doing these posts in time with the collections but I really am going to try and be more of top of blogging, but I just thought I'd add them anyway. You never know the Kitchen might release these soon or you could probably find them on eBay.

These Bath Bombs are really lovely simplistic products but what I love is that the little red hearts in them are little Bath Melts which once all the bomb has fizzed away stay floating and melting in your water to leave your skin nice and soft. The scent of this product isn't too overwhelming but does have a hint of chocolate which I love!

Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment - Bath Oil


Oh My LORDDD. If you buy anything from this haul it HAS to be one of these. I cannot even put into words how good these smell and I can't believe that I have only recently just discovered these. They smell exactly like the Bubblegum Lip Scrub with a hint of Snow Fairy - it's the sweetest scent and I am totally obsessed with it.

Same as the Floating Island Bath Oil you just need to pop the whole thing in your bath and let it melt away. The main ingredients include 'Marshmallow Powder' which 'Soothes and Softens', 'Extra Virgin Coconut Oil' which is 'Softening and Moisturising' and 'Almond Oil' which provides hydration for the skin and hair. Just from the ingredients I think you can see the benefit's of this product, so again if you suffer from dry skin or Eczema this product would be brilliant for you.


Unicorn Horn - Bubble Bar


The Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar is another product from the Valentine's Day Collection and is a product that I can't wait to come out each year! I only bought one last year and totally regretted the decision when I used it up so quickly so this year I purchased 4 for myself.

Firstly it just looks incredible, I mean it's called a Unicorn Horn and is literally a rainbow horn, who wouldn't want to own this product? If there was one product I wish that Lush would make permanent it's this one. It has a strong lavender scent therefore is perfect for just before bed as it really helps you unwind. Just run it under the water or pop it in your tea strainer however you like to use them and it will create you some amazing bubbles to relax in.

Flowering Tea - Reusable Bubble Bar


These cute tea bag Bubble Bars were a part of the Mother's Day collection this year. I'm not actually a huge fan of this scent but I just wanted to pick them up as they were limited edition and I love the idea of how they look like an actual tea bag, so handy just to hold the string and run it under the tap.

This product has an extremely strong floral scent which personally I find a little overpowering, I have yet to use this product yet so my opinion could totally change but as soon as I use it I'll be sure to do a review on my IG. From looking at other people's reviews and videos I love how there is actual petals inside the Bubble Bar. It does make an extra pretty bath.

Rose Bombshell - Bath Bomb


This Bath Bomb is from the Mother's Day collection also and is one that I am very much a fan of. I'm sure you can tell by the name of the product what the scent is, some of the ingredients within this product are Rose Oil, Rose Absolute and Rose Petals.

Once the Bath Bomb has completed fizzed away it leaves you with little yellow rose petals floating in bath which is a nice finishing touch after a lovely unwinding bath.  


Which Came First?- Bath Bomb


Just like the Humpty Dumpty Bath Bomb this is one of the larger Bath Bombs which came out in the Easter collection which once cracked open has a little Bath Bomb inside so you can get three baths out of this. But not just any little Bath Bomb it's a little chick!

As I mentioned in the above post about Humpty Dumpty although they are a little more pricey I think they're so worth the money and they're also so fun for Easter, these would be great to give as gifts if you didn't want to give actual chocolate Easter eggs. The three main ingredients in this product are 'Grapefruit Oil' which is 'Uplifting and Refreshing', 'Fair Trade Vanilla Absolute' which is a 'Sweet and Comforting Scent' and 'Lemon Oil' which is 'Uplifting and Refreshing'.


Ultraviolet - Bubble Bar


First off for the price of this Bubble Bar I think it's huge. It seems a lot bigger than any other Bubble Bar I've gotten before and they all seemed to be that size. This Bubble Bar is from the Mother's Day collection therefore is limited edition but is still available online.

The scent is of this Bubble Bar is very unique compared to most Lush products I have smelt before but I love it. I've seen online that some people have got 18-23 baths out of this product which to be honest doesn't surprise me because it's so big and from what I've seen depending on which part of the bar you use leaves your water amazing colours with even better bubbles. This scent is really difficult for me to describe but Lush advises it has 'Violet' and 'Jasmine Absolute'.
