Hiya Guys!
With Valentine's Day just around the corner I thought a Lush Valentine's Day Haul and Review would be an ideal blog post to kick off 2017. Hopefully it will be helpful to those who are looking to treat their other halves or themselves this Valentine's Day. There are demo's and pictures in action of most of these products over on my Instagram so I would suggest following me to ensure you can check these out.
Like all special occasions such as Christmas, Easter and Halloween etc - Lush have released their Valentine's Day collection this year ready for February 14th. Some of the products which were in the 2016 collection have made a re-appearance and there are some lovely new products which have also been added.
Unicorn Horn - Bubble Bar
Let's kick things off with one of my favourite V Day products (which I bought way too many of last year) and that is Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar. Apart from being one of the prettiest Bubble Bar's EVER it smells unreal. If you are a fan of lavender and lavender scented products then this is for you. One of the main ingredients is Lavender Oil along with Ylang Ylang and Neroli Oil's which make this product perfect for those needed relaxing baths.
A little explanation for those who aren't sure how Bubble Bar's work, either snap off a chunk and crumble this under running water or add it to a tea strainer or sieve and run under the tap. I have found the tea strainer/sieve way works the best for me as it creates the fluffiest and most bubbles in the bath, I have a few videos on my Instagram if you would like to see how I do this.
Rose Bombshell - Bath Bomb
Rose Bombshell is another product which I tried last year when the Valentine's Day collection came out and I am sure you can tell from the name what the scent may be. This is the reason why I only picked up one of these Bath Bomb's - I aren't the biggest fan of all things floral and rose scented but that isn't to say this isn't a lovely Bath Bomb. It would make a lovely gift to a Partner or Mother as real rose petals make a lovely appearance once the Bath Bomb has fizzed away. If you do some creeping and scroll back to 2016 on my IG you will find demo's and pictures of this bath bomb.
£4.25 - Rose Bombshell - Bath Bomb
Prince Charming Shower Cream & The Kiss Lip Scrub
For the lovers of all things sweet you need to smell Prince Charming Shower Cream. The main ingredients of this Shower Cream are Marshmallow Root and Vanilla Pod so you can imagine how dreamy the scent is. And the fact that it's a Shower Cream rather than a Shower Gel leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. This is a product well raved about in the Lush community. I only picked up a 100g bottle as I couldn't justify much more since I have 1600g of Snow Fairy!
The Kiss. I have recently become obsessed with Lip Scrubs, I would only ever use Bubblegum Lip Scrub but since Christmas I decided to venture out and try new flavours and scents and The Kiss is probably one of my favourites. I'm a big fan of the sweet scents and flavours and this just hits the nail on the head, it has become part of my daily routine to use a Lush Lip Scrub especially in this cold weather as it gives your lips the care they need.
£5.75 The Kiss - Lip Scrub
Cupid Bath Bomb
This is probably my favourite product from this years Valentine's Day collection. I am SOOO in love, I picked up four earlier on this month and will most likely end up getting a few more whilst I can. The blend of Fresh Raspberry Juice and Persian Lime Oil really gives this product one of the loveliest scents. It's quite a slow fizzer in the tub, once placed in the water the arrow part of the Bath Bomb fizzes away leaving a lovely streak of deep pink foam in the water whilst the main body stayed in my water for about 15 minutes! I used this last night paired with Unicorn Horn and The Comforter Bubble Bars and Prince Charming Shower Cream and it made the best combo ever! A demo of Cupid is live on my IG.
£2.95 Cupid - Bath Bomb
Kiss Me Quick - Business Wash Cards
I can't review these as much as I haven't actually used them as of yet but I can tell you what I think of the product so far and what I have also heard of the product. I think the Business Wash Cards are a seriously clever idea and something I've never even seen or thought of before. It is basically a Business Card size soap, which is made from Fresh Apple Pulp! This is a great idea to carry in your purse/wallet for those times when there aren't any hand washing facilities - all you do is tear a piece off and run it under the water where it will start to lather and create a soap. Or it can be used whole in the shower or as a general hand wash. I love this idea and decided to pick a couple up for myself to try out.
Lover Lamp Bath Bomb
Lover Lamp is one of the more subtle Bath Bomb's that Lush do but nevertheless it is still an amazing product. This one is especially great for those who tend to have more dry skin and are looking for a super moisturising bath that will keep their skin feeling hydrated. This is due to the fact the Bath Bomb releases three love heart shaped Bath Melt's whilst it is fizzing away, these are made from Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter which you can probably tell is the reason your skin is left feeling amazing. Oh and it also smells like chocolate orange - that may be a reason to buy this!
£4.25 Lover Lamp - Bath Bomb
Ladybird Bubble Bar
I love these little guys! I picked one up last year and soon realised how much of an essential they are to any Lush lovers collection. Pairing this with Intergalactic Bath Bomb makes for the freshest, minty-est (is that a word?) and refreshing bath you can imagine. It also leaves the bath water looking like a galaxy! It's more than likely I will be popping back into store to grab some more of these as two certainly won't be enough. I would highly recommend getting these if you love Intergalactic.
£3.95 Ladybird - Bubble Bar
Over and Over Bath Bomb
And last but certainly not least is Over and Over Bath Bomb, but this isn't any regular Bath Bomb the orange part of this product is actually a Bath Melt - it has been dipped and coated in Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter which again leaves for incredible feeling skin. I love this concept as it's two in one! This Bath Bomb has a very vibrant and fruity scent which is due to the Lime Oil in this product, it's a real uplifting and cleansing ingredient which leaves you feeling super refreshed.
Well that's it for now! I am going to be doing AT LEAST one blog post per month for 2017 so if you have any suggestions as to what you would like to see please let me know. I hope you enjoyed the read and it was useful for those who are looking into this collection from Lush.
