AD | Discovering Some Iconic Fragrances That Will Brighten Your Day Up! | Lush Lush Days : Fragrance Discovery Set

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! The wonderful team at Lush kindly sent me the Lush Days : Fragrance Discovery Set and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it! 

I was kindly sent this Fragrance Discovery Set from the wonderful Friends Of Lush Team alongside participating in a scent workshop with some of the lovely and fabulous fragrance team from Lush. Not only did it allow me to interact with some of the team and some of the wonderful Lushies that make up the Lush Community but it also allowed me to find out new ways to use Perfume to experiment more with layering fragrances and to find out what these fragrances mean to some of the Lush Community members and how fragrance can instantly evoke memories of experiences and events when you've used said fragrance such as spending the day with someone who becomes your life long best friend, a date night or a birthday for example. 

Grass 

Ingredients: 

Alcohol Denat. (Organic), Aqua (Water), Parfum, Glycerin, *Linalool, Sandalwood Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil (Bergamot Oil), Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil (Neroli Oil), Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, *Benzyl Alcohol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Benzyl Salicylate, *Citral, *Citronellol, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Farnesol, *Geraniol, *Isoeugenol, *Limonene. 

Grass has been a staple when it comes to Lush Fragrances for many years now. I first had an experience with the Grass scent family from Lush in my first couple of visits of a Lush Store many years ago in the form of the retro Grass Bubbleroon so when I smell or use Grass from Lush it instantly takes me back to when I was first exploring the products of Lush and the company itself. 

Grass contains Bergamot, Sandalwood and Neroli which blend to create a really fresh green fragrance with a slightly citrus undertone that reminds me personally of the smell of freshly mowed Grass on a Summers Day. I don't know if it's a British thing only but you know that smell when you get woken up really early on a Sunday to warm weather but also to someone cutting the grass in their garden far too early? That but in fragrance format! When it comes to longevity Grass knocks it out of the ball park! Since receiving this discovery set I've worn it out to Leeds for the day and honestly even with the warm weather basking on my skin and running around Leeds City Centre checking new ranges out, snapping products and running  errands I could still smell it when I was getting the train back to Bradford! 

Grass has been out at Lush in many formats. As I mentioned there has been the Bubbleroon, we have the Shower Gel that's at stores right now, we have the perfume and last year, Lush released the fragrance in a Body Spray format in the form of Mossy Bottom! I always love to layer the Gel and Fragrance together but I'd definitely love to hear what you pair Grass with in regards to a self care routine! 

Whilst participating in the workshop we talked about how Grass comes across slightly more green and slightly more citrus on some of us. We also talked about how to wear Grass in new ways and the team at Lush suggested wearing Grass towards the colder months of the year. I thought that this was very interesting to do so I'll definitely be doing this when the weather gets colder in the Autumn. The team also talked about how wearing Grass towards the Winter can help those who suffer with SAD such as myself as Neroli is known to help the mind. As someone with SAD I am forever looking for ways to boost my mood and not feel so bleh when the nights getting darker earlier and the weather drops dramatically. 

Have you tried out Grass in the Winter? If so I'd love to hear your thoughts! After the discussion at the workshop I'm definitely thinking of weird and wonderful ways to wear Grass such as pairing it with a Gourmand! 

Dear John 

Ingredients: 

Organic DRF Alcohol, Parfum, *Limonene, Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Cedarwood Oil, Vetiveria Zizanoides Root Oil (Vetivert Oil), Coriandrum Sativum Seed Oil (Coriander Seed Oil), Eugenia Caryophyllus Oil (Clove Bud Oil), *Benzyl Benzoate, *Benzyl Salicylate, *Citral, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Farnesol, *Geraniol, *Linalool

Dear John means a lot to me personally so I was ecstatic to see that it was included in the Lush Days Fragrance Discovery Set. Dear John as a scent family has honestly been in the room whilst I've experienced many things and participated in several events  and events for me so Dear John means a lot to me as a product and a scent family. Just to show how much Dear John has been in my life, I used to own the Glass Body Spray of Dear John and honestly Lush if you're reading this, please rerelease a Body Spray version of Dear John! I was first introduced to Dear John at the beginning of my friendship with my best friend Michelle who adored the fragrance and still does to this day! At the time, we were both going through it as people who have just started college in the UK usually do and bonded over all things Lush so if you ever want someone to blame for me never shutting up about Lush and all of their wonderful products since meeting her then you know who to blame... Whenever I spray this perfume I always think of her! Alongside this, the Dear John Shower Gel was released for a limited time during the beginning of my relationship with my partner who gifted me a big bottle of the Shower Gel which I still have to this day so this Fragrance also reminds me of them and all the wonderful dates and memories we've created whilst Dear John has scented me beautifully.

Dear John contains Cedarwood, Vetivert, Coriander Seed and Clove Bud which blends to create a deep woody yet spicy and smoky fragrance that has a blast of a light green herbal note that comes from the Coriander. 

I normally stick to using this on special occasions due to the memories I have associated with Dear John but as the workshop delves into when to use fragrances I think that I will start to use Dear John more on a day to day situation especially when I'm feeling a bit lethargic or under the weather. I also think that it would be great to wear it when I'm treating myself to a day out and want something that makes me feel special. We always talk about self care but I think we sometimes ignore fragrances when it comes to a self care routine or ritual. 

If you've not smelt Dear Johm then I urge you to go to a Lush store and check it out and whilst you're there, give the brand new book a read! If you love all things Lush then I think you will find the book very interesting! 

Breath Of God

Ingredients 

Alcohol Denat. (Organic), Parfum, Citrus Limon Peel Oil (Lemon Oil), *Limonene, Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Cedarwood Oil, Vetiveria Zizanoides Root Oil (Vetivert Oil), Rosa Damascena Flower Oil (Rose Oil), Cananga Odorata Flower Oil (Ylang Ylang Oil), Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil (Grapefruit Oil), Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil (Neroli Oil), Piper Nigrum Fruit Oil (Black Pepper Oil), Sandalwood Oil, Juniperus Oxycedrus Wood Oil (Cade Oil), *Benzyl Alcohol, *Benzyl Cinnamate, *Benzyl Salicylate, *Cinnamal, *Citral, *Geraniol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Citronellol, *Farnesol, *Isoeugenol, *Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Coumarin, Eugenol

Did you know that Breath Of God is two different iconic fragrances from Lush fused into one enigmatic scent? During the fragrance workshop the wonderful team at Lush explained that Breath Of God is the fusion of the Inhale and Exhale Fragrances at Lush that are retro fan favourite scents. Inhale contains ingredients such as Rose, Black Pepper and Ylang Ylang whilst Exhale contains ingredients such as Cade, Vetivert and Grapefruit. Inhale is meant to represent the lighter side of life whilst Exhale represents the darker side of life so when they combine together in breath of god they create one harmonious fragrance. 

Before the team at Lush describes the concept and scent notes of Breath Of God including what I have stated above, they got us to spray a spray onto paper or skin and asked us what the first note that we got was. Some of the Lush Community said aquatic notes, some said watermelon and some said smoky incense including myself. The workshop discussed that our noses pick different notes and everyone's skin picks up different notes which makes perfume even more personal than some realise. For example, my partner has a very warm temperature to their skin so some fragrances are intensified on their skin and some flash off very quickly whilst for myself I've recently been noticing that light citrus fragrances don't last well on me even Super Milk Body Spray sadly flashes off my skin quickly which is disappointing! 

When I sprayed BOG on to my skin the Cade, Vetivert and Black Pepper were the main notes that were at the forefront on my skin and to me they smelt wonderful. Smoky, rich and spicy whilst the rest of the notes were in the background which gave the fragrance a light background for the spices to be as loud as they are on me. On first sniff I thought that it reminded me of a more aquatic version of All Or going out to Leeds mainly as the spices in it have been helping to ground me slightly and Leeds at the moment has been making me a bit more jumpy and shaky due to busy footfall that's going on in the city centre at the moment.

I have loved enjoying the Lush Days Fragrance Discovery Set and I can't thank Lush enough for kindly sending me it and inviting me to the workshop. It was such a blast. I learn so much and I hope to be invited to more of them in the future! I have loved using these fragrances on the go, whacking them in my bag and taking them on adventures with me. I am a massive Lushie and I have tried a lot of products in my time but it's great to rediscover some of the classics that Lush are known for! Once I've used these I'll definitely be looking into grabbing the other discovery sets from Lush! 

Have you tried any of the fragrances mentioned in this post? Have you tried the Lush Days Discovery Set? Let me know!

AD | Being A Cheeky Monkey & Messing About With Your Self Care Routine | Lush Kitchen XL April Box 2026

  Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I was kindly sent the April Kitchen XL Box from the wonderful team at Lush so I thought that today I would talk to you all about my thoughts on the box. 

I like to wait until the month after the Box has arrived to truly talk about it as it means that I've had time to try everything which includes trying out the posted products several times so I can truly talk about them. 

Fantabulosa Shower Gel

Ingredients:

Aqua (Water), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Glycerin, Lauryl Betaine, Parfum, Matricaria Recutita Flower Oil (Chamomile Blue Oil), Cistus Ladaniferus Resin (Labdanum Resinoid), Evernia Prunastri Extract (Oakmoss Extract), Viola Odorata Leaf Extract (Violet Leaf Extract), Fucus Vesiculosus Extract (Seaweed Extract), Lactic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, CI 45410:1

It's time to have a self care routine with this retro fragrance scented Shower Gel and truly feel fantabulous!

This Shower Gel looks stunning as soon as it came out of the box as it's two toned. On the outside Fantabulosa looks dark and moody on the outside but as soon as you apply a little from the bottle it comes to life and changes colour! I love when Lush do this! I loved how Cherry Pop Shower Gel did this! I gifted a bottle to a friend and as soon as I got home from seeing them I got a message about them being mesmerised that it somehow changed colour and that it was pure magic! 

Fantabulosa contains Glycerine which not only makes for a thick Shower Gel which I know a lot of you including myself adore but also ensures that after you use this beautiful shower gel that your skin feels nourished, soft and smooth! 

Fantabulosa contains a retro fragrance that was first released before Lush was known as Lush and I believe it was first released as a part of the Perfume collection at B Never Too Busy To B Beautiful which is what Lush was before it became Lush! 

Fantabulosa contains Chamomile Blue Oil, Labdanum Resinoid, Oakmoss, Violet Leaf  and Seaweed. I know that sounds like such an unusual and bizarre mix of ingredients on the outside but when you smell it you'll grasp what the concept and the vision was when the founders of Lush were coming up with this fragrance. To me, this blend of oils creates a fragrance that feels like it has been created with Alice In Wonderland in mind. In my opinion, this fragrance to me smells like a mixture of Big Blue and Sex Bomb from Lush with a massive blast of slightly synthetic foam banana sweets coming from the Labdanum. I know that this may sound weird but I used this Gel before going out on a date day and honestly I felt confident and intriguing! It truly made me feel like I could battle the day no matter what which I know sounds weird from a shower gel but I always believe that Shower products and Fragrance can truly change the way you feel and how your day goes. 

I absolutely loved using this Shower Gel with the other Banana products and I would love a solid of this or a small 15ml or a 30ml spray to be released of this fragrance. 

If you're a fan of niche fragrances that make you take another sniff and wonder what you can smell then I think this fragrance and Shower Gel would definitely be for you! 

Amazonian Shower Jelly 

Ingredients:

Glycerin, Aqua (Water), Propylene Glycol, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Citrus Reticulata Fruit Juice (Fresh Tangerine Juice), Chondrus Crispus Extract (Carrageenan Extract), Sodium Coco-Sulfate, Citrus Reticulata Peel Oil (Tangerine Oil), *Limonene, Pogostemon Cablin Oil (Patchouli Oil), Cananga Odorata Flower Oil (Ylang Ylang Oil), Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Extract (Orange Flower Extract), Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Flower Extract (Orange Blossom Extract), Gardenia Jasminoides Fruit Extract (Gardenia Extract), Titanium Dioxide, *Linalool, Parfum, CI 15985:1, CI 19140:1, CI 19140, CI 14700

Even in the forest we have to smell good...

Amazonian Shower Jelly contains Patchouli, Orange Flower and Tangerine Oils which blend to create a truly citrus fragrance that has a big hit of brightness to it provided by the Tangerine alongside a contrasting hit of smokiness and spiciness that is provided by the Patchouli. I absolutely love this fragrance as it showcases how citrus and spice can truly harmonise together. In my opinion, Amazonian reminds me of a slightly summery version of Karma. Whilst Karma does have Patchouli and Orange just like Amazonian Shower Jelly does, I find that Karma slightly  leans more towards the herbal smoky side of Patchouli forward fragrances due to the addition of Lavender and Lemongrass which brings out the herbal notes more and if anyone knows me well then you will know that I absolutely  adore Karma and that it is one of my signature fragrances! 

If you managed to grab this Jelly then let me know what you've paired it with, I've suggested Karma on this blog post but I also think that it would go gorgeously with Milky Bath or the Hello Kitty and Friends Perfume! 

King Coconut Magnesium Body Butter 

Ingredients:

Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter (Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter), Butyrospermum Parkii Butter (Shea Butter), Musa Paradisiaca Fruit (Fresh Banana), Aqua (Water), Persea Gratissima Fruit (Fresh Avocado), Cocos Nucifera Oil (Extra Virgin Coconut Oil), Magnesium Chloride, Parfum, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Almond Oil), Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Organic Jojoba Oil), Liquidambar Styraciflua Balsam Extract (Styrax Resinoid), Vetiveria Zizanoides Root Oil (Vetivert Oil), Styrax Tonkinensis Resin Extract (Benzoin Resinoid Extract), Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract (Coconut Extract), Avena Sativa Kernel Extract (Oatmeal Extract), Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Benzyl Cinnamate, *Cinnamal, *Cinnamyl Alcohol, *Isoeugenol, CI 77491

Even the King of the Forest needs to feel fabulous! 

Don't hate me but when I smelt this straight out of the box my mind instantly started to play 'I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts' from Lion King... Says more about me and my brain more than anything else. 

If you're unsure on how to use  King Coconut then imagine it as the last step before you get out of the bath or shower. Grab the product, swipe it all over your body, massage it in deeply, take a minute for yourself (this could be meditation, singing a song or anything that makes you happy.  the latter two is what I like to do) and then rinse off to reveal deeply hydrated skin that smells creamy and coconutty. 

King Coconut contains Magnesium which helps to relax muscles. If you're an avid reader then you will know that as someone with muscle pain quite often I love when Lush include Magnesium in their products. I have to admit that I loved the addition of it in King Coconut too! It really helped me to relax and unwind whether it was at the end of a busy day or first thing in the morning when my body felt a bit bleh and my mind wasn't ready to crack on with the day. 

King Coconut contains Fresh Avocado, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Almond Oil and Organic Jojoba Oil which all blend together to create a nourishing base alongside Coconut that helps to truly help you feel refreshed and nourished. I've been using this all over my body recently but especially on my elbows and other places that are dry and end up being bashed into often as I'm quite clumsy in life and I have to admit that these areas have never felt more hydrated and nourished. It's honestly made me rethink some parts of my self care routine and whether I should explore the all year round Body Butters and Body Conditioners such as Ro's Argan and King Of Skin a little bit more. 

King Coconut contains Styrax, Benzoin Resinoid and Vetivert which combine to create a comforting cosy Coconut fragrance that still has a bite of not only fresh green grassiness but also a touch of smokiness in the background which helps to create a three dimensional fragrance. This fragrance really makes you feel like you're on an island or forest foraging and finding fresh coconuts. Fun fact: King Coconut and its regal fragrance were once a part of Cosmetics to Go. This was one of the brands that were Lush before  Lush was a business concept or a brick and mortar store on the British High Street. I absolutely love this fragrance. As I say it's rich, creamy and comforting but it still has a smoky edge to it. I am a sucker for anything that contains  Vetivert (see my monologue about loving Dear John in a plethora of posts which contains a heavy hit of Vetivert) and this fragrance is no different. If you're a fan of Coconut fragrances but you enjoy one that is more true to natural Coconut rather than the sickly sweet synthetic versions of a coconut fragrance that you can find quite often then I think that you would love King Coconut. If you also own Furze from Lush then I think that these two could be paired beautifully together in a self care routine!

Banana Moon Soap

Ingredients:

Aqua (Water), Brassica Napus Seed Oil (Rapeseed Oil), Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Soymilk Ferment Curd (Soya Yogurt), Cocos Nucifera Oil (Coconut Oil/Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil), Musa Paradisiaca Fruit (Fresh Banana), Parfum, Hexyl Cinnamal, Cistus Ladaniferus Resin (Labdanum Resinoid), Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Gardenia Jasminoides Fruit Extract (Gardenia Extract), Titanium Dioxide, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Bicarbonat 

To the moon and back baby! 

Banana Moon Soap contains a plethora of hydrating goodies such as Fresh Banana, Glycerine, Soy Milk, Soya Yoghurt, Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and much more. This may come as a little bit TMI but as someone who is neurodivergent, I have a really bad habit of biting and picking the skin on my hands. If you've ever seen a photo of anything that I'm holding on my socials then you'll know what I'm getting at so alongside dry skin when it comes to soaps I want something very hydrating that will hopefully help with the skin on my hands and oh boy do I have to say Banana Moon Soap definitely helps with that. The absolute complex of gorgeous moisturising goodies that make up the base of this Soap definitely have been helping to hydrate and recover my hands. Sometimes with other soaps I don't really enjoy using them as they can irritate me quite easily  whereas Banana Moon is the complete opposite! 

Banana Moon contains Labdanum and Gardenia. I know that this delightful duo sounds a bit simple and lacklustre for a fragrance that boasts all things Banana but trust me when I say that this duo definitely packs a punch when it comes to performanc! The Labdanum creates a beautiful Banana fragrance that pairs amazingly with the Fresh Banana that is included in this soap to create a truly rich and intense Banana. As this soap contains double Banana you get a fragrance that smells of both fresh green bananas and rich and creamy sweet foam banana sweets/banana milkshakes.   The Gardenia creates a fresh floral base that makes it feel like you're on a grand adventure and you've just found some fresh Bananas on the floor surrounding some blooming flowers. 

I've been using this soap recently and not only do my hands feel gorgeous due to the blend of beautiful butters but also smells amazing. I've been using it mainly during the warm weather we've been having  in the UK and it truly has been getting me intothe Summer spirit! 

Chameleon Bubble Bar 

Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Potassium Bitartrate (Cream of Tartar), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Extract (Orange Flower Extract), Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower Extract (Jasmine Extract), Zea Mays Starch (Cornstarch), Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, *Eugenol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Parfum, CI 42090:2, CI 19140:1, CI 42090

Who doesn't love a product that is truly a Chameleon?

We all need a bubble bar for those days where we need a little pamper and trust me this Chameleon Bubble Bar definitely helps with that. 

Chameleon Bubble Bar contains Jasmine and Orange Flower which blends to create a very floral yet slightly summery fragrance that reminds me of when you walk into a field and you can smell all the flowers blooming in one go. I've slowly been getting more into Jasmine including Jasmine Tea and I have to say that the Iasmine helps to create a floral base that has a rich deepness to it whilst a Orange Flower helps to create a light citrus fragrance so when they combine together you get the best of both worlds! 

I think that if you love florals and want something that still packs a punch but doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a bath bomb then a chameleon is definitely for you! I think that this would go perfectly with products such as  Symbol Of Love or Happy Happy Joy Joy! 

Cheeky Monkey Bath Bomb 

Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter (Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter), Parfum, Potassium Bitartrate (Cream of Tartar), Sodium Coco-Sulfate, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract (Vanilla Extract), Dipteryx Odorata Seed Extract (Tonka Seed Extract), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Almond Oil), Aqua (Water), Titanium Dioxide, Zea Mays Starch (Cornstarch), Theobroma Cacao Seed Powder (Cocoa Powder), Laureth-4, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Dipropylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Tin Oxide, Coumarin, CI 77491, CI 77499

Even Cheeky Monkeys need a bath now and again! 

Cheeky Monkey contains  Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter which helps to deeply nourish the skin. I love the inclusion of Cocoa Butter in Bath Bombs as it means that I can step out feeling luxurious and nourished. Honestly when I use a bath bomb from Lush that contains Cocoa Butter I step out feeling like I've been bathing like Cleopatra would. The Cocoa Butter creates a bathing experience like Butterball does where it creates a gorgeous nourishing layer to your bath in the tub but also makes you just feel really pampered. I love using bath bombs containing Cocoa Butter after a long day. 

Cheeky Monkey also contains Cocoa Powder. I know that this may sound weird and you may think that this addition will instantly turn your bath brown but it really doesn't. In my opinion, the Cocoa Powder just gave the fragrance of this Bath Bomb a slightly rich Chocolate undertone. 

Talking of fragrance, Cheeky Monkey Bath Bomb contains Vanilla, Tonka and Almond which blend together to create a really creamy gourmand comforting fragrance that reminds me slightly of a creamy Banana Pudding. This bath bomb also shares the same fragrance as the Minions X Lush Bath Bomb and shower Gel. 

I used Cheeky Monkey first thing in the morning before a day of meetings, video calls and emails and not only did I smell gorgeous but it set me up to not feel anxious for the day which trust me I am always in the need of! If you have the Banoffee Pie Products from Lush then you could pair them with this to create a beautiful Banana self care routine! 

Rainforest Co-Mingle 

Ingredients:

Glycerin, Aqua (Water/Spring Water), Propylene Glycol, Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract (Bamboo Stem Extract), Phytelephas Aequatorialis Seed Powder (Tagua Nut Powder), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Almond Oil), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Bertholletia Excelsa Seed Oil (Brazil Nut Oil), Butyrospermum Parkii Butter (Shea Butter), Stearic Acid, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (Organic Argan Oil), Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter (Cupuaçu Butter), Cupressus Funebris Wood Oil (Cedarwood Oil), Cupressus Sempervirens Oil (Cypress Oil), Vetiveria Zizanoides Root Oil (Vetivert Oil), Cananga Odorata Flower Oil (Ylang Ylang Oil), Chondrus Crispus Extract (Carrageenan Extract), Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter (Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter), Passiflora Edulis Fruit Juice (Passion Fruit Juice), Gardenia Jasminoides Fruit Extract (Gardenia Extract), Fortunella Japonica (Fresh Kumquat Extract), Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract (Vanilla Pod Extract), Triethanolamine, Cetearyl Alcohol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Parfum, CI 42090

Even those exploring rainforests need a good cleanse! 

If you're unsure on what a Co-Mingle is then let me tell you all about them! Co-Mingle are a three in one product from lush which consist of a gorgeous scrub which helps to get rid of dead skin and helps to reveal glowing new skin, a shower jelly to cleanse skin so you feel super clean even when in a rainforest and a body conditioner which helps to nourish the skin and ensure that it feels soft and hydrated which I feel sometimes we forget to ensure. 

Rainforest Co-Mingle contains Bamboo Stem and Tagua Nut Powder which creates a truly exfoliating yet light scrub which helps to exfoliate the skin, get rid of dead skin and reveal gorgeous glowing skin. I love this combination of scrub from Lush. I've used it in other Co-Mingles and in other products such as Happy Skin and trust me when I say that it truly ensures that your skin feels scrubbed and clean without damaging it or making it feel red raw which in my opinion is what I'm always wanting. A deep scrub without my skin feeling irritated to hell for days.

This Co-Mingle contains Argan Oil, Almond Oil, Brazil Nut Oil, Shea Butter and some other gorgeous ingredients to truly condition your skin. All of the butters and oils in this product combine to ensure that once you've massaged this Co-Mingle into the skin and rinsed it off you will be feeling moisturised, soft and like your skin has been rejuvenated. As a dry skin person who is forever on the go I am a massive fan of Co-Mingles as not only do they combine three products into one I know that my skin will look and feel gorgeous every time that I use one and it only takes a few minutes in the shower to apply and achieve. I end up spending this time enjoying a song on a playlist or the last minute or two of a podcast before I have to get out. 

This Co-Mingle contains Ho Wood, Cypress, Vetivert and Ylang Ylang. These oils blend together to create a really smoky woody fragrance that has a blast of green freshness with a floral undertone to it which I absolutely adore. I know that this may be cliche to say but this really does smell like nothing I've smelt before and I've smelt a lot in my lifetime! 

I think that Rainforest Co-Mingle would be a perfect product to take on holiday with as not only does it free up space by bringing one product that does three jobs rather than three individual products but also this product has a fragrance that is made for Summer Holidays and beaches in my opinion. 

Thank you again to the wonderful team at Lush for kindly sending me this Lush Kitchen Box! Did you manage to grab this box and if so what did you think of the goodies? Let me know!

AD | Gifting A Hopeless Romantic The Ultimate Skincare Routine | Lush February 2026 Fresh & Flowers Box

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! The wonderful Fresh Team at Lush kindly sent me the February Fresh and Flowers Box and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it!

I know that this post is late but I do like to take my time to properly try products out and sadly things have been busy lately. Well busy on top of recovering from a throat infection that was brutal. Sorry for this blog post going up as late as it has! 

PeachyBody Scrub

It's time to get peachy keen! 

Ingredients: 

Kaolin, Aqua (Water), Prunus Persica Fruit (Peach), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Shell Powder (Ground Almond Shells), Prunus Persica Kernel Oil (Peach Kernel Oil), Glycerin, Prunus Persica Fruit Extract (Peach Powder), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed (Ground Almonds), Parfum, Artemisia Pallens Herb Oil (Davana Oil), Canarium Commune Gum Oil (Elemi Oil), Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil (Grapefruit Oil), Tagetes Minuta Flower Oil (Tagetes Oil), Prunus Persica Leaf Extract (Dried Peach Leaf Extract), Tilia Europaea Flower Extract (Dried Lime Tree Flower Extract), Sucrose (Sugar), Saccharide Hydrolysate (Invert Sugar Syrup), Citric Acid, Geraniol, Citral, Farnesol, Limonene, Linalool. 

Who doesn't love a good Body Scrub to start their self care routine off with? 

Peachy Body Scrub contains Ground Almond Shells, Kaolin and Ground Almonds. This trio of gorgeous goodies help truly cleanse the skin and get rid of dirt and impurities on the body as the Kaolin helps to draw them out. Peachy Body Scrub also contains Peach Keenel Oil which hydrates the skin so your skin feels beautifully clean without feeling too stripped. I mean I don't know about you but I want to feel smooth and cleansed without my skin feeling stripped and irritated when I've used a Body Scrub. 

Peachy contains a plethora of beautiful oils to create a gorgeous fragrance that helps to perk you up first thing in the morning and makes you feel like you can get up and do anything with the day ahead. Well it does to me anyway. 

Peachy contains Davana, Grapfruit, Tagetes, Elemi and Peach Powder which blend together to create a truly bright and zingy Peach fragrance that has a sort of sherbet edge to it. I know that i said that it perks me up first thing in the morning when I've been using it but I think that it also reminds me of warm weather and wanting to go on holidays which makes it a great product to use when the days are a bit dull and dreary during that sort of end of winter/beginning of spring time that we are in at the moment. 

Sweetie Fresh Face Mask

Hello Sweetie! 

Ingredients:

Glycerin, Kaolin, Calamine (Calamine Powder), Fragaria Vesca Juice (Fresh Strawberry Juice), Zea Mays Starch (Cornstarch), Acer Saccharum Sap (Maple Syrup), Sucrose (Caster Sugar), Citrullus Vulgaris Fruit Extract (Fresh Watermelon), Punica Granatum Fruit Juice (Pomegranate Molasses), Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil (Bergamot Oil), Boswellia Carterii Oil (Olibanum Oil), Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil (Geranium Oil), Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide, Benzyl Alcohol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Parfum, CI 45410:2, CI 77491. 

Sweetie contains Fresh Strawberry Juice and Fresh Watermlon. Both of these help to give a fruity edge to this gorgeous face mask. Not only that but Strawberry and Watermelon are both well known for their intensely hydrating properties. As I have mentioned in a fair few blog posts by now, my skin leans towards being in the dry and irritated side when it comes to trying to define my skin type. My skin fluctuates quite vastly and can range from dry and irritated to being coated in breakouts and needing a detox during a hormonal or stressful time. I've used Sweetie a fair few times since receiving this Fresh and Flowers Box and I do have to state that my skin has felt absolutely gorgeous since using this face mask. Not only has my face felt plump, hydrated and all over nourished but my skin has also been left with a wonderful glow after using this face mask which I absolutely adore. I am a sucker for a glowy face or for any skincare products that help to give a glowy look to my face. 

Sweetie also contains Maple Syrup and Pomegranate Molasses which helps to moisturise the skin wonderfully. I noticed a massive improvement in the moisture of my skin as my skin is on the dry side and after using this mask I only had to go in with one of the two moisturisers that I use daily that are quite rich and emollient. 

Sweetie contains Bergamot, Olibanum and Geranium Oils which blend together to create a really strong powdery yet slightly sweet Strawberry fragrance that reminds me of a mixture of Strawberries and Cream and Strawberry Laces with a slightly floral edge in the background. If you have tried Strawberry Feels Forever or D'Fluff and loved the scent then you will adore the fragrance of Sweetie as they share the same scent! 

I think that Sweetie would be an amazing product if it was sold in stores all year round for anyone who loves anything that helps with their dry skin or wants something that will help to give them a glowy base before going on a night out. I also think that anyone who loves the iconic, legendary River Song from Docto Who would love this face mask given to them as a gift with the references in the Fresh Face Masks name... 

Cutie Toner Tabs

These Toner Tabs are going to help you look and feel like a right cutie! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Alcohol Denat., Parfum, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil (Geranium Oil), Citrus Limon Peel Oil (Lemon Oil), Rosa Damascena Extract (Rose Extract), Rosa Damascena Flower Oil (Rose Oil), Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis Flower Powder (Hibiscus Flower Powder), Aqua (Water), Rosa Centifolia Flower (Dried Red Rose Petals), Centaurea Cyanus Flower (Red Cornflowers), Titanium Dioxide, Dipropylene Glycol, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, *Citral, Citronellol, Coumarin, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, CI 45410:2, CI 77491. 

I know that Toner Tabs may be a new concept for some of you that are reading this blog post so I thought that it may be best to explain what they are and how to use them. Toner Tabs are solid tablets that are full of skin care goodies and excellent essential oils that can be taken on the go and are great for when you're travelling or for when you're going to a friends house to have a superb self care evening! The best way to use the Cutie Toner Tabs is to break each letter off and imagine each letter as one use. Once you've snapped a letter off, pop into a bowl of hot water and let the toner tab dissolve into the water. Once done you can use to wash the Sweetie Fresh Face Mask off with or bottle it up into a toner spray that you can use whenever wherever. I've snapped one of the letters off and bottled into an old toner spray bottle to use whilst I'm on the go, on the train, out for the day or for when I need a top up as I've been getting randomlh warm and a bit shaky recently when out so it's really helped with that personally. 

Cutie Toner Tabs contain Geranium Oil, Rose Oil and Lemon Oil which blend together to create a truly delectable sweet rose scent that has a burst of citrus that helps to make the floral Rose and Geranium pop. If you're a fan of Rose Jam from Lush then you will love Cutie Toner Tabs as they share the same scent. 

Talking of Rose Oil, not only does it help to scent these toner tabs with a beautifully sweet floral fragrance but Rose Oil is also known for helping to soothe the skin and calm down redness which I am always in need of. My skin has a big tendency in flip flopping between dry and irritated  especially during the end of Winter and beginning of Spring. As I've mentioned in other blog posts I suffer from hormonal skin problems and my skin gets irritated from weather changes and other factors such as stress easily so having something that I can bottle up and whack in my big bag of goodies and just spritz when I notice that my skin doesn't behave has been an absolute delight. 

After using Cutie for a fair while now I can totally say that my skin has calmed down and stopped being so red and irritated of late which I absolutely adore because my skin being irritated and visibly red has affected me going out sometimes due to being a little bit self conscious. I know I shouldn't be but that's just not how it works, you know? 

Lush do state on their website and app that you can split the letters of Cutie up and use them throughout the month or share with a partner, friend or loved one. When I received my box I noticed that my Cutie Toner Tabs were split into two which may have happened during delivery which I was a bit sad about but after reading that they're meant to be shared I was kond of delighted as it meant I could gift the smaller chunk that had snapped off and I could save the bigger piece for myself to use and try out. I've still not decided on who I'm gifting the other part to but it'll likely be Luke or my partner who receives them.  

Hunny Bear Facial Gummy

Ingredients: 

Glycerin, Aqua (Water), Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Propylene Glycol, Mel (Honey), Chondrus Crispus Extract (Carrageenan Extract), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Organic Almond Oil), Avena Sativa Kernel Flour (Fine Ground Oatmeal), Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract (Vanilla Extract), Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil (Litsea Cubeba Oil), Styrax Tonkinensis Resin Extract (Benzoin Resinoid Extract), Alkanna Tinctoria Root Extract (Alkanet Extract), Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Citral, Coumarin, Limonene, Parfum, CI 45410:2, CI 77491.  

honey isn't just for bears, it's for your gorgeous face too. 

Hunny Bear contains Honey and Fine Ground Oatmeal. Honey is known as a humectant which helps to ensure the moisture is locked into the skin whilst also being known for being antibacterial. Fine Ground Oatmeal helps to scrub away dirt and impurities whilst being soft and soothing to the skin which means that it's a perfect scrub for those with sensitive skin. I did notice that after lathering this gummy onto my face that there was a very light scrub which I used to scrub away dirt and SPF after a long day. I quite like how it was a light scrub as sometimes after a long day or when I've felt unwell I've just wanted a light scrub where I don't have to scrub too hard. I also noticed that the honey did help to make my skin feel more moisturised and nourished after using it on a night before applying my night serums. 

Hunny Bear contains Vanilla, Litsea Cubeba and Benzoin which blend together to create a gorgeously sweet creamy fragrance that has a blast of citrus to it. If you're a fan of the viral icon that is Super Milk Hair Primer from Lush then you'll love this facial gummy as it shares the same fragrance as Super Milk. To me this is Super Milk but I'd say it leans more on the creamy smoky side rather than the lemon citrus side of Super Milk (I don't know if it leans more on the smoky side due to the addition of fresh honey) but it would be a perfect addition to a Super Milk routine if you adore the scent as a whole. I've been using it for a while and I really like it. I was a bit dubious about using Super Milk on my face but it mellows out a tiny bit when you lather it on your face. 

I love all things honey and all things bears so I thought I was going to love this little cutie and I truly do. I think that the facial gummies are a great easy product to use first thing in the morning or last thing at night or for when you want something small and compact to travel with! 

Mon Cheri Enfleurage

Mon Cheri, this Enfleurage is going to make you swoon over me... 

Ingredients:

Persea Gratissima Fruit Butter (Avocado Butter), Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter (Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter), Prunus Avium Seed Oil (Cherry Kernel Oil), Parfum, Theobroma Cacao Extract (Cocoa Extract), Prunus Amygdalus Amara Kernel Oil (Almond Essential Oil), Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Coumarin, *Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, CI 45410:2, CI 77491, Rosa Centifolia Flower (Fresh Red Rose Petals), Bellis Perennis Flower Extract (Fresh Daisy Flowers). 

I know some of you may be slightly confused on what an Enfleurage is so I thought I'd explain before I talk about Mon Cheri. A Lush Enfleurage is a block of gorgeous butters and oils scented with beautiful essential oils that help to hydrate, and nourish the skin whilst ensuring that the body glows and looks and smells gorgeous. Lush's Enfleurages are inspired by the viral well known Ice Cream Rolls and in turn are rolled up into a gorgeous ice cream roll inspired shape before being shipped out to everyone to enjoy and use. If you've used a Massage Bar from Lush then imagine a slightly softer creamier version of that rolled up to look like an ice cream roll. 

Mon Cheri contains a plethora of butters that help to soften the skin such as Avocado Oil, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter and Cherry Kernel Oil. Not only do they hydrate the skin beautifully so you feel smooth, soft and supple but they also give the enfleurage a sort of base scent which helps the essential oils to project more and project on the skin quite vividly. The Cocoa Butter and Cherry Kernel Oil blend together to give a comforting light chocolate cherry fragrance that is warm and fruity. 

Furthermore. Mon Cheri does contain glitter so this enfleurage would be perfect to use before going out for a special occasion, a night out or just for when you want to sparkle and glisten as the butters and oils help to hydrate the skin whilst the glitter sparkles under daylight or say candlelight on a date. I know that some aren't the biggest fan of glitter but honestly I say all the glitter and more. You can never have too much glitter in my eyes! 

Mom Cheri contains Cocoa and Almond Essential Oil which in my opinion blends with the Cocoa Butter and Cherry Kernel Oil to create a beautifully decadent and rich fragrance that reminds me of a Black Forest Gateaux that has a touch of nutty Almond in the background that makes it smell like a mixture of Cherry Bakewell and Black Forest Gateaux. I know that may sound a touch sickly to some but I absolutely adore it. If you have been loving the Love Bug Scrubee or the Cherryish Body Spray then you will love this Enflsurage as they share the same scent. I used a tiny bit of this Enfleurage after using the Love Bug Scrubee, Happy Holidays Shower Gel and then applied Cherryish after before going out for a day of food and adventure in Leeds and I smelt and felt absolutely gorgeous! 

I love this Fresh and Flowers Box as a whole. It's seductive it's fruity, it's fun. It's everything that you want from a Fresh and Flowers Box from Lush that focuses upon romance and love via using fresh ingredients in beauty products. Recently Lush announced the discontinuation of this subscription box after April and honestly I am gutted about it as I love the subscription box. It's always based around amazing concepts with beautiful products! When this box comes through my letter box it brightens my whole week up and makes me excited to delve into the box and see what products lush have curated for the month! 

Did you grab the February Fresh and Flowers Box? If so let me know your thoughts on the box and the contents down below and on social media! 

Thanks to the amazing Fresh Team at Lush for sending me this amazing Fresh and Flowers Box! It truly made my February and helped me to get over a really intense throat infection!

AD | Starting That Skincare New Years Resolution Off Gently | Lush Cosmetics Gentle Cleansers 2026

  Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! The wonderful and lovely team at Lush White Rose kindly gifted me three of the brand new Gentle Cleansers from Lush that have just been released so I thought that to I would talk to you all about them!

All three of the Gentle Facial Cleansers that are mentioned within this blog post are inspired by the cult classic that is Ultrabland Facial Cleansers from Lush. These brand new facial cleansers are vegetarian friendly but not vegan friendly due to the inclusion of Honey and Beeswax.  All three (and Oat) come in beautiful glass jars which hark back to a retro era of Lush Cosmetics whilst using recycled packaging to house brand new products for those who love Lush to try out. 

Açai & Sacha Inchi Cleanser (£16)

Ingredients: 

Fair Trade Organic Sesame Oil, Juniperberry Water, Beeswax, Fair Trade Organic Brazilian Honey, Organic Sacha Inchi Oil, Açaí Oil, Fresh Fennel Extracted In Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fresh Turmeric Root Extracted In Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Glycerine, Manuka Honey, Juniperberry Oil, Rosemary Oil, Kenyan Geranium Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Tincture of Benzoin, Benzoic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Cinnamate, Limonene.

'We might not be able to help you with your recent breakup, but a cleanse with clarifying, calming acai oil can help with the breakouts. Vitamin E-rich sacha inchi oil provides lightweight hydration to wash away your woes in a balancing, non-sticky and non-stripping oil-based formula. Now, please ditch the 3-in-1 face wipes!' - Lush UK. 

When I first heard about the brand new cleansers via a press release from Lush, I was intrigued to try all of them but I was super interested in trying the Açai & Sacha Inchi one. As someone who suffers from acne prone skin quite a lot due to hormonal breakouts, stress and being lactose intolerant. Having all of this causes me to break out quite often  has caused acne scars to form in the past which have made me super unconfident to go out and get on with my day. Due to all of the above, an acne prone Cleanser sounded right up my street. This Açai and Sacha Inchi Cleanser contains Juniperberry Oil which is known to control excess sebum. Alongside Juniperberry, Açai Oil also helps with breakouts due to being able to clarify the skin thus helping to remove dirt and impurities from the face. I've been using this Cleanser for a fair while now mainly targeting a couple of raging spots and I have noticed that after using this cleanser my spots have looked reduced and less like they're a step away from having a voice of their own and screaming my house down.

Talking of Açai Oil, Açai and Sacha Inchi Oils create the basis of this cleanser with all of its lovely skin helping properties but also creates an interesting scent that I have been really enjoying. The Açai, Eucalyptus, Geranium and Sacha Inchi blend together to create a fruity berry fragrance with a sort of deep smoky element to it. I guess a bit like smoking berries on a barbecue in a fresh open slightly grassy garden. I think that the scent may be a bit marmite for some but I really quite like it. The scent is there whilst you massage this lovely gentle cleanser into the skin helping to reduce any breakouts that you're having and getting rid of any dirt on the skin. I did notice that after rinsing this cleanser off, the scent was quite subtle so I think that if you're a bit unsure on the scent then I think that you should try and grab a sample and try it out especially if you're someone who needs help with breakouts but wants skin that feels healthy, hydrated and not stripped.

 As skin is unique I think that it's always a good idea to grab a sample of skincare from Lush to test out to see if your skin falls in love with it or not. If you do grab a sample of any of the Cleanswrs then do let me know your thoughts via the comments section or social media. 

This fantastic cleanser contains two main oils that help to create a gorgeous lightweight feel to this cleanser which ensures that this cleanser can get to the core of your breakouts without  causing the skin to become dry or  strip the skin. The first oil that helps to create the base of this Cleanser is Sesame Oil. This Clenaser actually contains over 35% Sesame Oil. Sesame Oil is a natural source of Vitamin E which is known to help soothe and protect the skin which we all need after our skin has been through an angry breakout attack. The second is Sacha Inchi Oil which also contains a good chunk of Vitamin E but is known for its hydrating and lightweight properties which means that this cleanser helps to hydrate the skin and doesn't strip it. As I have mentioned I have been using this cleanser lately to try and target a couple of raging spots on my face and get them from raging to calling and being on their way off my face. When I scooped a bit of this cleanser from the pot and worked it into a lather, I was surprised that instead of a lather this cleanser created a sort of light serum texture that was definitely lightweight and nourishing. I was surprised because I wasn't expecting it to be as lightweight as it was nor was i expecting it from a cleanser that has a sort of light whipped balm texture when you first look at it when you unscrew the lid from the glass jar. When I washed this gorgeous cleanser off my skin I felt that my skin felt majorly improved. Less rough, dry and honestly less  like the feeling of the singer of a heavy metal band singing and screaming their lungs out on my face to more of a tired couple having a pointless argument I the middle of a shop which I was thankful for as my spots have been that bad recently. With using this cleaner regularly on the one area that I've had the worst breakout on I have noticed that the spots have reduced massively and are slowly on their way to being gone but obviously with breakouts it takes time even when you're using a cleanser that's full of ingredients that help to reduce breakouts. 

Honey, Almond Oil & Beeswax (£17)

Ingredients: 

Almond Oil, Rose Water, Beeswax, Honeycomb, Fresh Iris Flower Extracted In Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Glycerine, Tincture of Benzoin, Benzoic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Cinnamate.

'Lush Co-Founder, Mark Constantine, first created this blend using raw honeycomb from the bees he kept. Staying true to this formula, we’ve used over 3% raw honeycomb for its clarifying and hydrating action, it also helps keep this formula self-preserving. We’ve wrapped your cleanser in a beeswax cone, a natural alternative to plastic packaging. Pop it into your compost bin along with the cellulose wrapper (just remove the label first) once your cleanser is finished.' - Lush UK. 

This brand new cleanser contains over 3% Raw Honeycomb which contains Raw Honey that has been sourced from Brazil and supports local communities and reforestation. Honey is known for being a humectant for the skin. This essentially means that the Honey will help to lock moisture into the skin which for anyone with dry skin or skin that gets affected by cold weather then Honey is an amazing ingredient for you. After using this cleanser for a while,  I did notice that my skin felt more plump and less dry. Following on from this, Almond Oil is known for helping to plump the skin and protecting the skins barrier due to its nourishing properties and again after using this cleaner for a while, my skin did feel a lot more plump. As I've mentioned in this post my skin tends to be on the dry side with some acne prone properties to it so if my skin feels nourished then it's easy to tell. 

As this cleaner doesn't contain a lot of ingredients, it lends itself to being an unscented cleaner. I love my cleansers that have a bit of a scent which I know might be a bit controversial saying so but sometimes a scent to my skincare can help me to do it a little bit more first in the morning. However, I do grasp why a lot of people enjoy unscented skincare as it means that skin is irritated less for those who are sensitive to fragrances. As I know that this cleanser lends itself towards the unscented category of skincare, I have been using this on the regular on a night as a first cleanse of a double cleanse routine. All of these cleansers are inspired by the OG Ultrabland which I have used regularly as a first cleanser after a long day or a day of wearing makeup on top of my regular skincare routine and SPF so I was definitely intrigued to see if I could see if there was a difference between the two. I do have to say I did. I think that due to the very high percentage of Almond Oil and Iris Flowers extracted in Olive Oil I noticed that the Honey, Almond Oil and Beeswax Cleanser was lighter in texture compared to Ultrabland. I do love Ultrabland but I know a fair few people do find it a bit on the heavy side when it comes to removing dirt, impurities and makeup and that it can leave a layer on the skin post washing it off. In my opinion, there is none of that with Honey, Almons Oil and Beeswax. I think that this could be a good replacement for the Summertime maybe? I do wish that I had this available when I was in Hong Kong to remove my skincare and makeup when the weather over there was quite humid. Trust me I'll definitely be sticking to Ultrabland for when I've got really dry skin due to the weather or my skin is having one of those days  but if I'm in a rush or if I want something a bit lighter when my skin is feeling a bit bleh then I think that I'll definitely be using this. Is it bad I'm tempted to see what double cleansing with both of these together would be like? I might try it when I've got a full face on (full coverage foundation, glitter, highlighter, a dark lip etc) and let you know what I think about it. If you have been looking for a truly unscented cleanser that is light on the skin but can do everything that you need it to then honestly I think the wonderful people at Lush have made your dreams come true! 

Turmeric & Argan Oil (£17)

Ingredients: 

Rice Bran Oil, Vanilla Water, Beeswax, Fair Trade Organic Brazilian Honey, Fairly Traded Honey, Fresh Turmeric Root Extracted In Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Glycerine, Organic Argan Oil, Cedarwood Oil, Vanilla Extract, Sandalwood Oil, Australian Sandalwood Oil, Guaiacwood Oil, Tincture of Benzoin, Buriti Oil, Vanillin, Benzoic Acid, *Anise Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Cinnamate, Farnesol. 

'Lavish mature skin in antioxidant-rich oils and fresh turmeric for radiant results. With a cleanse like this, you’ll only get better with age.' - Lush UK. 

This brand new cleanser contains over 40% Rice Bran Oil which is a natural source of Squalane. Squalane is known within the beauty industry for being a lightweight active ingredient that moisturises the skin richly whilst sinking into the skin quite easily. Turmeric and Argan Oil also contains Argan Oil obviously. Argan Oil is known for being a gorgeous ingredient for bringing moisture to the skin and for its gorgeous glowing properties which when blended with Fresh Turneric which is also known for giving the skin a gorgeous glow amplifies the benefit and helps you to glow for the gods.

I am very much into my glowing for the gods phase and I have to admit that alongside my skin feeling quite moisturised and not dry that my skin has been glowing for the gods and has looked a lot more radiant which I have been loving because my skin becomes slightly dull during the colder months and therefore I normally try and compensate with more glowing beauty products and makeup during the Winter time but since trying this cleanser I've been skipping at least one of these products so that shows how radiant my skin has looked. 

Alongside a plethora of hydrating and glowing ingredients that helps to make skin look healthy, this gorgeous cleanser contains both Sandalwood and Vanilla Water. Sandalwood not only gives this cleanser a slightly resinous and deep woody fragrance but also helps to tone the skin whilst Vanilla Water is known for soothing the skin. The blend of Sandalwood and Vanilla creates a sweet and creamy fragrance with a slightly woody background. I am not going to lie, with this Cleanser being Turmeric centric I was expecting this cleanser to smell like the iconic Turmeric Latte fragrance from Lush however I quite like Vanilla so I wasn't too mad. If youre looking for a product that will create the base of a gorgeously hydrating and glowing skincare routine and also love scents from Lush like the fan favourite Yummy Custard then I think that you'll love this cleanser. 

I haven't fully tried out the Oat Cleanser that is a part of this range but when I do I will do a post about it and let you all know what I think about it. 

Have you managed to try out any of the brand new Gentle Cleansers? If so what are your thoughts on them? Let me kno

Thanks again to the wonderful staff at Lush White Rose Leeds for gifting me the Cleansers!

AD| It's Time To Go Bath Bomb Hunting, Scoob! | Scooby-Doo X Lush Collaboration Range

 Hey everyone!

Welcome to a brand new blog post! The wonderful team at Lush kindly sent me some of the brand new Scooby-Doo X Lush Collaboration Range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about this amazing range! 

Scooby-Doo Bath Bomb

Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? Oh you're in the tub! 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cornstarch, Perfume, Lime Oil, Olibanum Resinoid,  Neroli Oil, Water (Aqua), Gardenia Extract, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Tin Oxide, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 77491, Colour 47005, Colour 42090, Colour 42053, Colour 47005:1. 

You can't produce a Scooby-Doo X Lush Collaboration Range without including the Great Dane himself!

The Scooby-Doo Bath Bomb contains Lime Oil, Neroli Oil and Olibanum Oils which blends together to create a punchy zesty Lime fragrance with a slightly deep creamy base that is provided from the Neeoli and Olibanum Oils. If you remember the scent family from Lush formerly known as Calacas (now known as Zesty) and have been craving a Bath Bomb in that fragrance then Scooby-Doo is definitely for you as this shares the same fragrance! I mainly remember Calacas/Zesty through Halloween favourites such as Monsters 👿Ball Bath Bomb and Big Foot Bath Bomb so I think that having Scooby scented in this fragrance as both Halloween and Scooby-Doo is all about monsters and solving mysteries makes total sense! 

Not only does this bath bomb smell totally amazing but also looks it too due to slightly trippy tie dye bath art that it creates in the tub which in my opinion adds more to the Scooby-Doo experience! 

Mystery Machine Bath Bomb 

Come on gang! It's time to solve some mysteries and then have a some groovy self care time! 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cornstarch, Perfume, Bergamot Oil, Neroli Oil, Ylang Ylang Oil, Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil, Water (Aqua), Corn Protein, Gardenia Extract, Titanium Dioxide, Alcohol Denat., Sodium Coco Sulfate, Dipropylene Glycol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 47005:1, Colour 19140:1, Colour 42090:2, Colour 42053, Colour 15985:1, Colour 42090. 

I grew up on Scooby-Doo weekend cartoons and in my opinion the Mystery Machine is the one of the major iconographies of Scooby-Doo. It represents the gang, the theme of friendship, chosen families, solving mysteries and chaos alongside the groovy vibes of the gang themselves.

Mystery Machine Bath Bomb contains Bergamot, Neroli, Ylang Ylang and Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil which merge together to create a truly mysterious yet kind of groovy scent. 

The Bergamot creates a fruity element to the scent that makes the bath bomb smell to die for whilst the Neroli and Ylang Ylang create a soft and slightly creamy base for the fruitiness to jump off whilst the Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil brings a bit of mystery and depth to the scent. Mystery Machine Bath Bomb shares the same fragrance as the Groovy Kind Of Love fragrance range from Lush which has always reminded me of a retro sweet shop and so does this Bath Bomb. I know that sounds really weird but more the scent when you walk into a sweet shop and you can smell all of the sweets in one fragrance. I guess a bit like 29 High Srreet Perfume when you walk into a Lush store. 

I love the concept and the design of this bath bomb as I love all things to do with the Mystery Machine. I am kind of surprised at how accurate Lush have gotten the bath bomb to the original design of the Mystery Machine itself.

I think that this would be an amazing bath bomb to use before going out with loved ones to go trick or treating on the evening of Halloween itself as the sweet shop like scent of Mystery Machine Bath Bomb reminds me of when you go out trick or treating on that cold Autumn evening. I know a fair few people that adore the Groovy Kind Of Love scent so I'll definitely be grabbing some more of this bath bomb to gift to friends! 

My Glasses! Eye Mask

My Glasses! I can't see without my Glasses!

Chamomile Water, Glycerine, Fresh Aloe Gel, Carrageenan Extract, Fresh Cucumber, Witch Hazel Extract, Activated Charcoal, Water, Colour 42090. 

As someone who also can't see without their glasses, when I saw that this particular product would be a part of the Scooby-Doo X Lush range, I was super excited so when Lush sent me these kindly in this amazing parcel my instant response was jinkies but in an absolutely great way! 

The Fresh Cucumber and Chamomile blend together to create a truly grounding herbal yet refreshing scent. The chamomile gives off its grounding softness whilst the Cucumber adds a touch of aquatic freshness. Not only do these ingredients help to create a beautiful scented product but also help to soothe and refresh the eyes after a long hard day of work or mystery solving which honestly at the moment I am in dire need of. 

I have adored Lush's Eye Masks and Pads since they first released and make for a great way to end a evening after a long day or to use before or after a night out which I'll be using these for as my friends 30th is right around the corner and me taking these to use the morning after at their house will definitely make for a great conversation starter and a great way to blast the Simple Plan's Scooby-Doo theme track! I'd definitely recommend adding these to any boo baskets that you are creating at the moment! 

Mystery Inc Shower Gel 

You can't have Scooby Doo without the Mystery Inc! 

Glycerine, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Water,  Fresh Carnation Pwtal Infusion, Calcium Lactate, Fine Sea Salt, Lauryl Betaine, Perfume, Lactic Acid, Vanilla Absolute, Cinnamon Bark Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Lemon Myrtle Oil, Bergamot Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Cinnamal, Citral, Coumarin, Eugenol, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 45410, Colour 42090, Colour 77491.

For this collaboration range, Lush have decided to immortalise the Mystery Inc gang via a beautiful new Shower Gel.

This Shower Gel contains a brand new scent that consists of Vanilla Absolute, Cinnamon Bark Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Lemon Myrtle Oil and Bergamot Oil alongside a touch of Carnation that blend together beautifully to create a fragrance that is as iconic as the Mystery Inc Gang themselves! This brand new fragrance reminds me of a cross between caramelised biscuits and ginger biscuits with a fresh bright citrus twist that is quite prominent alongside a touch of floral ness that is really subtle but helps to just make every ingredient pop in the fragrance. I guess the best way to describe it is to imagine a ghost has just baked a fresh batch of gorgeous cookies just before the sun rises up in a haunted mansion... 

The colour of this shower gel is amazing and makes you instantly think of the gang due to the vivid glittery purple sort of colour that it has. I think that this one will be amazing to use all Autumn long especially for those like myself who love gourmand fragrances and like to smell like an absolute edible treat. If you love scents like Turmeric Latte or Yummy Custard then you may enjoy this Gel! 

Zoinks! Shower Jelly

Zoinks! This Shower Jelly really surprised me! 

Glycerine, Water, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Laver Seaweed Infusion, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Carrageenan Extract, Perfume, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Lavender Oil, Seaweed Absolute, Eugenol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Chlorophyllin (CI 75810), Colour 45350, Colour 42090. 

Zoinks! Shower Jelly has been made for every Scooby-Doo lover that is out there like myself. Not only does this Shower Jelly contain a beautifully refreshing scent but it also contains some tricks and even a surprise. 

Zoinks! Shower Jelly contains Swaweed Absolute, Sicilian Lemon Oil and Lavender Oils which blend together to create a truly refrehing aquatic scent that makes you feel like you've just jumped into the sea. This blend of beautiful oils creates the iconic Big Blue scent at Lush. You may know Big Blue by the beautiful bath bomb that is stocked in all Lush stores up and down the country that represents the wonderful waters around the UK and contains ingredients that have been harvested from mere steps from the UK Lush Factories. 

Not only does this Shower Jelly smell to die for but it also contains an optical illusion and a surprise product in the middle of it. In the middle of Zoinks! Shower Jelly, there lies a head of a certain Captain  in Shower Gummy form that shares the same scent as the Shower Jelly. I know that some of you may be wondering what the difference between a Shower Jelly and a Shower Gummy is and the main difference is that the texture of the products and that you can slap the gummy onto walls and surfaces such as your bathroom wall, shower door and much more and it will stick which I think is amazing. The texture of a gummy compared to a jelly is a lot thicker. I guess well bit like a firm gummy sweet that you can buy in stores. I also feel that because it's a firmer jelly it's a little bit easier to handle if you're grabbing it and lathering it up on your body with your hands rather than a cloth/sponge/loofah. 

I absolutely love Zoinks! It has an amazingly refreshing scent that  will not only refresh you but will help you when you feel a bit ill this winter, an extra surprise and something that instantly screams Scooby-Doo! I think that this would make an amazing gift especially for those without a bathtub in your life! 

Scooby Snacks Body Spray

Who doesn't want to smell like an absolute delight that the gang craves?

 Organic Alcohol Denat., Water, Perfume, Glycerine, Vanilla Absolute, Cinnamon Bark Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Lemon Myrtle Oil, Bergamot Oil, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamal, Citral, Coumarin, Eugenol, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Linalool.

When I saw that Lush were releasing a brand new Body Spray to go alongside the rest of the Scooby-Doo X Lush Collaboration Range I was so excited and intrigued to see what it would smell like and oh Scoob it didn't disappoint! 

Scooby Snacks Body Spray contains Vanilla, Cinnamon Bark, Benzoin, Lemon Myrtle and Bergamot which blend together to create a truly divine fragrance. The blend of Oils creates a truly edible fragrance that reminds me of freshly baked cookies due to the inclusion of Cinnamon, Vanilla and Benzoin with a bright twist from the Lemon Myrtle and Bergamot. The scent truly does remind me of walking into a bakery that is freshly baking cookies and sweet treats. The fragrance of the Body Spray shares the same scent as the Mystery Inc Gel but to me has a bit more of a focus on the sweet treat aspect of the fragrance and doesn't contain Carnation whilst the Shower Gel does which adds a floral note to the Gel as mentioned earlier in the post. 

I decided to grab this when the launch instantly dropped as I had some money from a gift card on my Lush Club Wallet (make sure that you are a part of the Lush Club as you can put your bring it back packaging rewards on there to use at a later date to get money off purchases, receive first looks of upcoming ranges and check out exclusive Lush Club ranges such as Freshly Ever After. You can now even earn points when you shop which can earn you rewards such as money off orders and free products). Trust me when I say that I do not regret at all getting the Body Spray with my money on Lush Club. Not only does it make you smell like an absolute Scooby Snack but the longevity on this Body Spray is absolutely amazing. 

I sprayed it first thing in the morning after using the Mystery Inc Shower Gel alongside the Super Milk Shampoo and Conditioner and oh my god I smelt divine. I sprayed the Scooby Snacks Body Spray first thing in the morning and I could smell it all day long. I went on an adventure, did some shopping, caught up with loved ones, travelled and could still smell it by the end of the day when I was cleansing my face and getting ready for bed. In my personal opinion, the main two ingredients that I could smell at the end of the day were the Cinnamon Bark and Vanilla. 

I think that if you love fragrances such as Sticky Dates and Chelsea Morning then this Body Spray is definitely for you! 

All of the amazing products that were gifted to me were sent in the amazing Mystery Machine Product Holder which I love! I'm definitely keeping my products in this beautiful holder and will be grabbing a couple more for gift bags for products for friends!

#AD | Time To Treat Yourself To Some Self Care After A Day Of Epic Adventures | How To Train Your Dragon X Lush

Hey everyone! 

 Welcome to a brand new blog post! I was kindly sent some of the How To Train Your Dragon X Lush Collaboration Range by the lovely team at Lush so I thought that today I would talk to you all about the range! 

Toothless Bath Bomb (£7)

It's time to fly into a warm bath! 

List Of Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cornstarch, Spearmint Oil, Cream of Tartar, Water, Titanium Dioxide, Popping Candy, Talc, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Alcohol Denat., PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Tin Oxide, Limonene, Perfume, Colour 77499, Colour 42053, Colour 45410, Colour 47005, Colour 17200, Colour 42090:2, Colour 42090, Colour 77288, Colour 45410:2, Colour 77491, Colour 59040, Colour 45350.

Toothless is here to make your bath journey that little bit extra special. This bath bomb contains Popping Candy which creates the ultimate bathing experience by making your bath crackle and pop. 

Toothless has a sort of swirled  Mint and Vanilla fragrance to it due to the inclusion of Spearmint Oil and other goodies that kind of remind me of when you get a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream with your dessert topped with Mint. The Mint develops and blooms on the bath making it feel like you're relaxing on an ice cool spring relaxing after a long day of adventuring and battling. 

If you're a big fan of bath art when it comes to selecting bath bombs at Lush then you will definitely want to grab a Toothless Bath Bomb as the bath art that they create is truly mesmerising. I won't spoil it for you but the visual art that comes with Toothless Bath Bomb is truly magical and definitely will make your day feel a little bit better if you've had a tiring day! 

Toothless Tail Soap (£5)

The soap that will definitely last the tail of time. 

List Of Ingredients: 

Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil, Fresh Mint Infusion, Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Water, Perfume, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Spearmint Oil, Activated Charcoal, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Calcium Carbonate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tin Oxide, Limonene, Colour 77499, Colour 77491, Colour 14700, Colour 17200. 

Not only does this Soap look stunning with its dark and mysterious shift of colours but also smells amazing too. Like the Tootoess Bath Bomb, this soap has a fresh mint scent with a slightly creamy Vanilla backnote but as there is Fresh Mint Infusion in this soap alongside the Spearmint Oil that is also in the Toothless Bath Bomb, the Mint note is slightly more prevalent within this product. If you're a fan of scents from Lush such as Dirty then I think that this soap will definitely be for you. 

I've been using Toothless Tail Soap for a while now. I love the addition of Activated Charcoal in this soap as it ensures that all the dirt and grime from my hands and body is completely banished. 

I've been using this during the heatwave that has occurred in the UK and it has honestly been a godsend for the hot weather and ensuring that I feel clean and refreshed. 

Astrid's Axe Bubble Bar (£12)

List Of Ingredients:

Sodium Carbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerine, Lauryl Betaine, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Rosemary Oil, Sage Oil, Green Mandarin Oil , Cornstarch, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral, Limonene, Colour 42090:2, Colour 47005:1, Colour 77288, Colour 77491:1, Colour 77288, Colour 77491. 

We all need a good bath after a day of hard work and that's exactly what Astrid's Axe is here to do! 

As Astrid's Axe is on a stick the best way to use this bubble bar is to either use the axe to slice through the water in the tub whilst it's runnin or to hold it under the tap until your preferred amount of bubbles has formed. Some like a light bubbly bath, some like a bubbly bath that's full of frothy bubbles. Once your preferred amount has occurred, turn the tap off and place the amazing Axe on the side or on a soap dish to dry before using it again after your next adventure. 

This bubble bar contains a plethora of oils such as Sicilian Green Mandarin, Sicilian Lemon, Sage and Rosemary which combine to create a lovely fresh Blackcurrant scent with a blast of green notes behind it. This bubble bar shares the same scent as the Junk Perfume from Lush so if you're looking for a bathing product to go along with the gorgeous perfume then Astrid's Axe is the one for you. I love this bubble bar. I love anything Junk and I have forever been yearning for more products in the Junk scent from Lush. (Please give us a Junk Shower Gel!) 

Monstrous Nightmare Shower Gel (from £10)

List Of Ingredients: 

Glycerine, Fair Trade Organic Aloe Vera Gel, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Clove Leaf Oil, Lime Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil, Carrageenan Extract, Gardenia Extract, Cornstarch, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamal, Coumarin, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 14700, Colour 19140:1, Colour 19140, Colour 77491. 

A shower gel that will help your muscles relax after a long day? Sign me up! 

This shower gel to me screams dragon and Viking's by the amazing packaging, the fiery red colour of the shower gel itself and the scent of the superb shower gel. 

This shower gel contains an abundance of amazing oils. Monstrous Nightmare contains Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Lime Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil. These oils being to create a beautifully fiery and spicy scent with a slightly citrus undertone that to me gives off a sparkling background note that makes it feel like the spices are bubbling and frothing a tiny bit. If you are an avid Lushie then you may be happy to hear that Monstrous Nightmare shares the same scent as Glogg Shower Gel that has appeared in previous seasonal and Lush Kitchen ranges. 

Anyone that knows me will know that I adore spicy scents. I love anything and everything cinnamon centric or that has a cinnamon in it. When I first smelt this shower gel I instantly got a big hit of sweet cinnamon and that was from quickly smelling the bottle in the middle of the store. From that quick sniff, I knew that I would love this Shower Gel. 

Chief Stoick Beard and Hair Oil (£18) & Gobber's Comb (£10)

List Of Ingredients: 

Almond Oil, Organic Argan Oil, Black Jamaican Castor Oil, Organic Cold Pressed Grapeseed Oil, Fair Trade Organic Jojoba Oil, Perfume, Cold Pressed Organic Borage Oil, Coffee Oil, Tonka Absolute, Vetivert Oil, Tobacco Absolute, Vanilla Absolute, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, *Anise Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Benzyl Cinnamate, Benzyl Salicylate, Cinnamal, Citral, Coumarin, Eugenol, Isoeugenol, Limonene, Linalool.

Even the greatest of Vikings need something to tame their hair with! 

Lush have done various iterations of Beard products in the past in the form of naked solid products so when I heard that a packaged liquid hair and beard oil was coming as a part of this amazing collaboration range I was super intrigued. 

Chief Stoick can be used as both a hair oil to help keep hair tamed and hydrated or as a beard oil to keep facial hair in place or both. 

Chief Stoick contains Organic Argan Oil, Black Jamaican Castor Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Cold Pressed Borage Oil and Grapeseed to create a wonderful base for the product to hydrate every fibre of hair intensely. Did you know that Jojoba Oil is known for being  the most structurally and chemically close to your skins sebum? 

Chief Stoick contains Coffee Oil, Tonka Absolute, Vetivert Oil, Vanilla Absolute and Tobacco Absolute. These oils blend to create such a unique scent. The Vanilla and Tonka blend to create a creamy soft base which contrasts beautifully against the rest of the oils which blend to create a rich powerful smoky scent from the Coffee and Tobacco with a woody yet slightly herbal undertone that comes from the Vetivert. If you have tried the Hobana Bath Bomb from The Ippuku Dan Goft Set from Lush or the Lazy Oaf X Lush Body Spray and loved it then you will love this beard Oil as they both share a very similar scent to the Chief Stoick Beard and Hair Oil. 

As I said above, I was intrigued when I heard that there would be a Haor and Beard Pil on this Collaborations Range and boy did it not disappoint. I was also intrigued that this product contained Black Jamaican Castor Oil as I have heard that the castor Oil is known for its benefits such as strengthening thin hair, nourishing dry hair and promoting hair growth. I've been using the Oil for a while and have been loving it. My hair and facial hair have felt a lot more moisturised and healthy than it did before using the Oil. I have slowly been getting into Tobacco and Vetivert forward scents over the past year and forever loved Dear John from Lush that is quite Vetivert forward in my opinion  so I was super looking forward to seeing how this scent would be in a oil format and it is beautiful. The coffee comes out but doesn't dominate the scent and the Vetivert adds a beautiful note the scent. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you can pop to a Lush store near you and check it out. 

Alongside the Chief Stoick Hair and Beard Oil, you can grab Gobber's Colb which is a 100% recycled plastic hair and beard comb that helps to de tangle hair before applying the oil and can be used to style all hair! 

Hiccup Body Spray (£35)

List Of Ingredients:

Organic Alcohol Denat, Water, Perfume, Glycerine, Bergamot Oil, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool.

I adore Lush's Body Sprays so I was definitely excited to try Hiccup out. The main note in Hiccup is Bergamot and to me Bergamot reminds me of drinking Earl Grey Tea in the  garden on a warm day. I'm not entirely sure why but it does. Maybe as Bergamot is in Earl Grey Tea. 

This Body Spray does smell of citrus heavy yet slightly peppery Bergamot but to me it also has a sort of aquatic note to it which reminds me of being at the seaside too. I would definitely say that this is an amazing Body Spray for the Summer time or for anyone who loves a Summery scent. I am also considering it to take it and wear it when I next go to the seaside for the ultimate sort of Summer  adventure vibe. 

 I recently went into my local store and sprayed Big and Salty as when I've been trying out Hiccup it has slightly reminded me of both of these Body Sprays from Lush and I must say if you layer Big and Salty together you get a scent which feels like it fits on the family of what Hiccup smells like. If you can go to a Lush store then I would urge you to try this combination out on one arm and Hiccup on the other and see what you think of both. 

Regarding the longevity of Hiccup, to me it is amazing. I've been wearing it especially when I've needed to run errands for the day and meeting up with friends and I've noticed that I can still smell it quite strongly by the end of the day when I'm back home using Ultrabland and getting ready to settle down after a long day. 

Thank you so much to the wonderful team at Lush for sending me some of the items from the How To Train Your Dragon X Lush Range!
