#AD | Don't Look At Me Fresh Face Mask from Lush Cosmetics

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post. I was recently kindly sent the Don't Look At Me Fresh Face Mask from Lush and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it.  

Ingredients: 

Kaolin, Fresh Organic Lemon Juice, Glycerine, Organic Rice Syrup, Ground White Rice, Organic Silken Tofu, Murumuru Butter, Bentone gel, Rice Milk, Grapefruit Oil, Neroli Oil, Water (Aqua), Citral, Farnesol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 42090

I have tried this Fresh Face Mask but it was a long while ago due to Lush releasing other fabulous Face Masks after Don't Look At Me so it was fabulous that I was retrying this one as it felt like I was trying it for the first time all over again. 

Lush Fresh Face Masks are designed to be kept refrigerated due to the plethora of the fresh ingredients that are in each of the fresh Face Masks. Each of the Fresh Face Masks including Don't Look At Me should be used within 28 days of receiving your Fresh Face Masks for the ultimate skincare experience! 

The smell of Don't Look At Me is amazing and hits you right in the face when you open thie lid. The Grapefruit and Neroli combine to create a truly delicious scent. I am a bit hesitant when it comes to Neroli as sometimes it can be a bit overpowering but it works beautifully in this face mask as it adds a bit of depth to the Grapefruit. The combination always makes me think of warm weather and holidays due to it being so uplifting and delicious. 

Don't Look At 'Me contains Ground White Rice which is used as a scrub within this face mask. The Ground White Rice helps to exfoliate the skin without irritating the skin too much which I adore because I do enjoy a light scrub when it comes to my face. My skin has a tendency of deciding when it wants to behave and when it doesn't so when it isn't behaving Ground White Rice is a great way to exfoliate dead skin without causing my skin to feel more irritated. When my skin feels and looks  irritated I feel a little bit more self conscious.

Silken Tofu plays a big part in creating the super rich texture of Don't Look At Me alongside Rice Milk and Glycerine. They also help to moisturise the skin and ensure that it stays soft and supple. After the Ground White Rice has done its thing it is best to ensure that you are putting moisture back into the skin and trust me these three ingredients will definitely do that! I was a bit intrigued when I saw Silken Tofu was included as ingredient in this face mask but it makes sense when you look into it. Silken Tofu is known for containing a plethora of Vitamins  such as Vitamin K and Calcium and is rich in Protein which can help to nourish the skin and help the skin barrier. 

I applied this onto my face for ten minutes and left it to do its wonderful thing. After the ten minutes were complete, before removing the face mask, I worked the grains of Ground White Rice into my skin for a quick minute to ensure that it exfoliated my skin. I slowly removing the beautifully blue coloured Face Mask off my skin with warm water and a face cloth working in circular motions for a quick second especially around my troublesome areas and facial hair and then a swiping motion. 

After washing the mask off, I could notice a good difference in what my skin looked and felt like before using Don't Look At Me compared to after. My skin felt smooth, soft and hydrated due to all of the lovely ingredients that are in Don't Look At Me. Furthermore, I've been using Don't Look At Me constantly for the past two weeks now and I've noticed more of a radiant glow to my skin which I have adored. I think the radiant glow has come mainly from the face mask helping to hydrate and protect my skin but also from the Fresh Lemon Juice that is also in Don't Look At Me. 

If you're looking for a great Summer Face Mask that not only smells utterly gorgeous and refreshing but helps your skin to feel and look more nourished alongside giving it a radiant glow then I think that you will love Don't Look At Me. If you're also looking for a Face Mask that will help dry skin look and feel a little bit less rubbish without being stripping like a lot of Face Masks can be for some then I think that don't Look At Me may be a great face mask for you to dabble into. 

Thanks again to the wonderful team at Lush for sending me the Don't Look At Me Fresh Face Mask. 

Lush have just released some lovely brand new fresh skincare products that include new Fresh Face Masks such as Nutkins, Coconut Shie and Hanami alongside brand new cleansers such as Biomic and Koji Paste. I am slowly trying out some of the brand new products so so keep an eye out as I will be posting blog posts about them when I have fully tried them out. 

Thanks for reading!

Time To Create Some Bad Romance In The Bath | Lush Products That I Associate With Lady Gaga

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I am sure that you are aware by now that  Lady Gaga has released a brand new album this week titled Mayhem and I thought that I would cause my own mayhem and create a blog post all about the products from Lush that make me think of Gaga whether these are things I associate with Gaga or products that I think would fit with her songs or albums. (This post isn’t including Mayhem but I may do another one in the future that focuses more on Mayhem and Lush products). 

Black Rose Bath Bomb 

Bad Romance is one of Lady Gaga’s well known songs and when I think of Bad Romance I kind of think of  Roses because well I associate black with being dark and roses with romance.  

This Bath Bomb contains Pakistani Rose Absolute, Rose Oil, Geranium Oil and Sicilian Lemon Oil. 

Black Rose shares the same scent as Rose Jam which smells like an intense yet decadent sweet rose scent with a citrus kick to it. Mix this scent with the dark deep colours that explode out of the bath bomb and into the waters and you’ve got the perfect bath bomb to blast Bad Romance with and have a self care evening. 

Love Perfume

A perfect scent to wear before you tell someone that you want their stupid love. I know that this is an obvious one but I think that Love goes perfectly with Stupid Love. 

This perfume contains Ylang Ylang Absolute and Oil, Rose Absolute,  Bergamot Oil, Jasmine Absolute and Lemongrass which combine to create a truly heady scent that reminds me of comforting Apple Pie with a slightly sultry bright floral twang to it. 

This is going to sound a bit weird but this kind of screams Stupid Love to me because I feel that within society we have to stick to certain fragrances when it comes to romance and gift giving which is stupid in itself to stick to what society dictates us that we should be doing a specific thing for a specific emotion rather than choosing slightly more niche or different scents which still evoke the same emotion but in a different and maybe unconventional way such as Love from Lush which makes me feel comforted and loved in a different way than a pure true and heady floral fragrance does.  

Magik 

Magik is a range of its own but I think regarding Gaga I want to focus mainly on the Bath Bomb and Massage Bar. 

Gaga has discussed in many interviews and other platforms that she suffers from fibromyalgia and chronic pain and Magik definitely helps with when you’re feeling in pain and needing to relax. 

Magik Bath Bomb contains Epsom Salt, Chamomile Blue Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute, Ylang Ylang Absolute, CBD and Shittake Mushroom Powder. 

This bath bomb contains 64,000mg of Epsom Salts which are used to help relax the body alongside CBD whilst the plethora of oils create a slightly smoky deep floral scent that just helps to relax you. I think that Gaga would love using this for when she is in a flare up. 

The Massage Bar contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Calamine Powder, Moringa Oil,  Fair Trade Shea Butter, Ashwagandha Root and Ginseng Root Infusion, Illipe Butter, Fresh Shittake Mushroom and CBD alongside Chamomile Blue Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute, Ylang Ylang Absolute The massage bar also contains 

The plethora of beautiful butters will help to make Gaga’s skin feel smooth and supple whilst the CBD, Ginseng and Ashwagandha will help Gaga to feel relaxed. I can also see her using this after a long day of rehearsals or straight after a performance. Who knows, she could even take this on the road when she is on tour and have an instant hit of relaxation. 

Vegan Leather Jacket Perfume

If anything is the scent that reminds me of the Born This Way era from Lady Gaga then it is Vegan Leather Jacket from Lush. 

Vegan leather Jacket contains Clove Bud Oil, Vetivert Oil, Tonka Absolute and Tobacco Absolute. These oils combine to create a truly smoky fragrance that is out of this world. The best way to describe this as a fragrance is to imagine the smell of a post motorbike race in the middle of Autumn near a venue that has had fireworks going off or somewhere that has just burnt wood for an outdoor fire whilst someone is watching and drinking a spicy cocktail. 

All of this screams Born This Way to me and honestly if Lush had created this fragrance during the era roll out I feel that Gaga would have bathed in it. (Side note Lush if you’re listening, please do more with the Vegan Leather Jacket scent). If you have this fragrance then I urge you to blast the BTW album especially songs like Heavy Metal Lover and spritz a tiny bit of this beautiful biker inspired fragrance on. 

Intergalactic Shower Gel

Yes this is a bit of an on the nose one but I couldn’t write this post and not mention Intergalactic being the perfect scent family to use whilst blasting Venus or honestly just singing your way through the whole ARTPOP Album.

Intergalactic contains Fresh Mint Infusion, Fine Sea Salt, Peppermint Oil, Grapefruit Oil, Vetivert Oil and Sandalwood Oil. This blend of oils will definitely set you up for a day of being creative. That blast of Peppermint and Grapefruit will definitely make you feel like you’re about to blast off to Venus. 

I absolutely adore Intergalactic and make sure to have Venus on the mix when I’m using Intergalactic.  If you wanted to, you could always use the Glitter Spray for that extra minty boost and a bit of sparkle. (Just an idea for if Lady Gaga announces a tour surrounding Mayhem and you’re unsure on what to smell like)… 

Birth Of Venus Jelly Mask 

Following on from Intergalactic and Venus, I can’t really mention Venus by Lady Gaga ans not mention Birth Of Venus Jelly Face Mask. 

This Jelly Face Mask contains Kaolim, Glycerine, Sea Water, Lavender Absolute, Chamomile Blue Oil, Olibanum Oil, Myrrh Resinoid, Carrageenan  Extract and Rose Petal Infusion. 

Jelly Face Masks used to be a very big thing at Lush back in the day and Lush have decided to bring one back as part of their Retro Wall. This Jelly Face Mask contains Rose and Lavender which will help to calm and soothe irritated skin. The Myrrh and Olibanum add a slightly woody aquatic scent alongside the floral notes of Rose and Lavender. One sniff of this and you will feel like you’ve been transported to a tropical oasis. 

Tank Battle Perfume

I can’t explain this one at all but the smell of Tank Battle just kind of screams Lady Gaga a bit to me and honestly I think if you wear Tank Battle you may have people screaming the talented, amazing, brilliant meme at you. 

Tank Battle contains  Labdanum Resinoid, Patchouli Oil, Clove Bud Oil. These combine to create a truly unique scent. Lush do describe the scent of Tank Battle being a mix of bubblegum and the smell of rain and I think that kind of sums up Lady Gaga as a vibe a bit… the mix of bright sweet bubblegum mixed with the deep earthy smell of petrichor that has elements of smoky Patchouli to it. Bright mixed with dark to create a beautiful creation. If you haven’t smelt Tank Battle from lush then I urge you to and let me know if you get the same sort of vibe from the fragrance. 

Beauty Sleep 

Gaga definitely needs something to help after being on a heavy journey of buses, no sleep, plane, another bus and so forth… 

Beauty Sleep contains Lemon verbena and Valeroan Rott extracted in Honey, Kaolin, Mullein Leaf and Linseed Decoction, Ground Organic Aduki Beans, Organic Orange Blossom Honey Water, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Orange Flower Absolute, Neroli Oil, Myrrh Resinoid, Lavender Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Tonka Absolute, Organic Jojoba Oil, Orgajic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fresh Coconut, Organic Avocado Oil, Organic Cold Pressed Evening Primrose Oil, Evening Primrose Seeds, Wheatgerm oil, Fresh Lemon Juice, Fresh Pineapple Juice, Fresh Orange Juice and Organic Cold Pressed Grapeseed Oil. 

There is a lot of ingredients to discuss here however Beauty Sleep contains a lot of ingredients due to it honestly making skin beautiful but also because each pot contains at least a spoonful of Lush’s iconic Gorgeous Moisturiser. 

I think that Gaga would adore this Face and Body Mask because she could whack it on whilst on a bus or a plane but due to its intensive moisturising properties alongside the soothing properties that lie within this face mask due to ingredients such as Lavender which will help to feel a little bit more peaceful even if she is having to go from bus to place then to clubs and then do it all over again.   If you’re looking for a product that will help to nourish your skin but to also help you feel soothed and calm after a week of stress then I do recommend checking Beauty Sleep out. 

Candy Rain 

We all need a good moisturiser for our hair after the rain has fallen on us. 

Honestly most of the times that I have checked that Candy Rain has been at a store when I’ve gone in I’ve sang Rain On Me alongside checking out the product far too many times. More than I would like to admit. I thought that I would also include this product because with all the looks that Gaga stuns us with I’m sure her hair would love some nourishment via Candy Rain. 

Candy Rain contains Cashew Cream, Brazil Nut Milk, Coconut Cream, Macadamia Nut Milk, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Brazil Nut Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Rain Water, Buchu Oil, Tonka Absolute, Cocoa Absolute and Almond Essential Oil. 

This is going to sound slightly bizarre but have you ever smelt or had a Drumstick lollipop? The creamy side of the lollipop is exactly what Candy Rain smells like to me. Creamy which  touch of fruitiness coming from the Buchu which gives off a slightly berry hint to the fragrance. If you have smelt Mrs. whippy from Lush before then Candy Rain shares the same scent as that. 

As this product contains a plethora of nut based milks and creams which help to truly nourish the skin no matter how damaged it is. I think that this is an amazing fit for Gaga due to forever having hair styled and changed for events and shows and so forth. If your hair is on the damaged side and you’re looking for something that will deeply nourish your hair then I urge you to check out Candy Rain and let me know what you think of it if you do!  

Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar. 

This Bubble Bar contains Patchouli Oil, Frankincense Resinoid and Cinnamon Leaf Oil. These three oils blend together to create a truly spicy scent with a touch of sweetness in the background due to the Cinnamon. 

Did you know that this Bubble Bar is inspired by frank Sinatra? Lush back in the day used to sell a Bath Oil called Ol’ Blue Skies and rereleased it as a shower gel as part of their Kitchen Subscription Box? 

If you keep up with everything that Lady Gaga has done over the past few years then you’ll be aware with how much Frank Sinatra has influenced her and that she’s covered songs from him such as New York, New York so it seemed right to include this product. If you enjoy spicy scents then I definitely think that you should give this Bubble Bar a go! 

What products from Lush do you associate with Lady Gaga? Would you like me to publish a post about what fragrances suit each Lady Gaga era? Let me know?

Shopping Until I Drop… A Bath Bomb Accidentally | Lush Boxing Day Sale At Lush White Rose

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I recently managed to go to the Lush Boxing Day Sale at Lush White Rose in Leeds so I thought that today I would talk to you all about my experience and what I managed to pick up! 

Myself and Luke managed to grab a taxi on the morning of Boxing Day and head to White Rose Shopping Centre. This didn’t take long and even the taxi driver commented on how quiet the roads were which was unusaual for them! 

We arrived at White Rose, thanked the taxi driver and headed to Lush. We got to near Lush and was told to join the queue which we did. Sadly Luke sometimes struggles with queues due to use a cane and trying to manage the narrow barriers and getting their cane caught underneath them sometimes. We did tell the staff who were managing the queues this and was ignored. Luke decided to just carry on as the staff may have not heard them and it was a busy day (I did instantly message White Rose when this happened). We joined the second queue to the store and after a while the lovely Jas found us and escorted us to the store which meant that we could skip the queue which was very kind of them to do so and that Luke could save some energy trying to manage the queue with this cane and enjoy the sale and shopping at Lush White Rose.

We had a chat with the wonderful Jas before Jason greeted us and very kindly told us that they would be guiding us around the store to ensure that we had an amazing shopping experience. We’ve done Lush Boxing Day Sales in the past and it can be overwhelming and a little bit dangerous for both myself and Luke. Luke has been barged into and nearly had his cane knocked out of his hand before and I’ve been elbowed a fair few times in previous years for being near those gloriously pink tinted Snow Fairy products.  
Jason guided us around the store beautifully and went through every product that was on sale including some goodies that weren’t a part of the Christmas Range and instead were a part of the Retro Wall which surprised me as I wasn’t expecting anything from the wall to go on sale!  

After perusing the shelves for a while and grabbing products for both of us, we made our way over to the tills where Jas found us again to escort us to the tills to ensure that we weren’t struggling waiting in the queue which was really amazing of them to do. 
We chatted whilst the lovely Sarah packed our bags and talked to us about the Christmas Range as a whole! I would like to also add that the lovely Lorna was an absolute star. When it comes to access for trips and events such as the Lush Boxing Day Sale, I like to email ahead and when I did this year for the Sale, Lorna helped in every way possible including asking what accessibility features would work best for myself and Luke and planned according to our needs. This is amazing as I stated at the beginning of the post that we have both had some mixed experiences doing Lush Sales in various different shops and knowing what to expect beforehand and getting some help beforehand just takes a bit of weight off myself and Luke and helps us to have a great day out shopping. Lorna was even so lovely to let us check out the Lunar New Year Range before it launched to stores and online. (It’s out by the time this post will be live so go check it out if you can). 

Haul: 
I thought that it might be best to bullet point what I got. 

• Sleepy Bear Shower Gel 
• Tramp Shower Gel 
• Snow Fairy Two Tone Shower Gel 
• Polar Bear Dreaming Shower Jelly 
• Smugglers Soul Face Scrub 
• Elbow Grease Moistursing Bar

If you can then definitely do pop a visit to Lush White Rose!

Getting Your Skin Freshers Fair Ready | Lush Routine Boxes 2024

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post. I thought that today I would talk to you all about Lush’s brand new limited edition Routine Box!

September is upon us and that means the start of University for a lot of people! Starting Uni and being a Fresher comes with a lot of good points. Exploring a new city maybe, getting to know and befriend new people such as your course mates or flatmates and plenty of Freshers events. Sadly though as the first few weeks of University are usually packed with events and this means that you may forget to take care of yourself and your skin!

Luckily, Lush have created a Routine Box to ensure that you keep on top of your skin care to ensure that you look great for those few first weeks of University and beyond! (Don’t worry if you’re not a fresher at Uni, this routine box is still for you!)

To get your hands on this amazing routine box, all you have to do is go into a Lush store and a staff member will help you to choose a plethora of products that are personalised to help your skin throughout both the days full of lectures and the nights full of events and getting to know people. 

The items that are included in your routine box are: a face mask (45g), balm cleanser (10g), fresh cleanser (50g), moisturiser (10g), soap (50g) and shampoo bar (full size).

These boxes are priced at £20 and are worth £36 so not only do you get a box full of goodies that not only will help you look like your best self but will also help the environment and are animal cruelty free but you also get a bargain and save some money which can be used on anything including a couple of drinks after a day of getting to know your course mates and lecturers.  

I bet you’re wondering what you can choose from. Well I thought that I would break it down into each category to make the choices a little less overwhelming. Now remember it’s one from each category that you get to choose from! 

Soap: 

Outback Mate, Honey I Washed The Kids, Karma, Sleepy, Bohemian, Comforter, Goddess, Sandstone, Sea Vegetable, Sultana of Soap. 

Shampoo Bar: 

 Honey I Washed The Kids, Angel Hair, Coconut Rice Cake, Godiva, Jason and the Argan Oil, Jumping Juniper, Montalbano, New, Seanik, Soak and Float. All of these Shampoo Bars are plastic free and are therefore amazing to travel with. One Shampoo Bar equates to three big bottles so they will definitely last all semester long! 

Fresh Cleanser:

Dark Angels, Herbalism, Let The Good Times Roll, Aqua Marina, Angels on Bare Skin, Turmeric Roll. If you are a bit unsure on how to use these cleansers then take a pinch and put it into the palm of your hand. Once placed, add a little water and make into a paste and then use said paste to cleanse your face and rinse with a warm damp flannel to remove the cleanser and reveal beautifully looking skin. 

Face Mask

Beauty Sleep, Cosmetic Warrior, Mask Of Magnaminty.

Balm Cleanser: 

Ultrabland, Ultraplant.

Facial Moisturiser:

Enzymion, Cosmetic Lad, Celestial, Vanishing Cream, Peace. 

If you are unable to get to a Lush store then you can also get a pre selected routine box via going to the Lush Website and ordering online. There are three boxes to choose from. 

Balancing: 

Cosmetic Warrior face and body mask 45g, Herbalism cleanser 50g, Vanishing Cream moisturiser 10g, Ultrapoant Cleanser 10g, Jumping Juniper shampoo bar and Karma soap.

Calming:

Beauty Sleep face and body mask 45g, Angels on Bare Skin cleanser 50g, Celestial moisturiser 10g, Honey I Washed My Hair shampoo bar, Ultraplant Cleanser 10g and Sleepy soap.

Invigorating: 

Mask of Magnaminty face and body mask 45g, Turmeric Roll cleanser 50g, Peace moisturiser 10g, New shampoo bar,  Ultraplant Cleanser 10g and Outback Mate soap.

I haven’t grabbed one just yet due to being busy but I think I would choose The Comforter Soap, New Shampoo Bar as I love all things spicy and with shaving my hair off on the regular  and I think that New might help my scalp and hair due to the inclusion of Nettle and Peppermint Infusion, Clove Bud Oil and Cinnamon Leaf Oil that is in this Shampoo Bar and with it slowly getting cold I am sure that I will adore the scent especially as it shares the same scent as Lush’s Wiccy Magic Muscles Massage Bar, Cosmetic Warrior, Ultraplant, Angels On Bare Skin and Peace Moisturiser. 

If you want to grab one of these boxes then dont walk, run as these boxes are only at Lush stores and online from 16th September - 14th October.

Lush Easter 2024 Sneak Peek

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! The lovely Community Team at Lush sent me some of the Easter products before they drop in store this Thursday and I thought that I’d talk to you all about what I got sent. 

Sticky Dates Sugar Scrub 

It’s time to scrub that sticky icky feeling off yourself! 

Okay so it’s no surprise that I love Sticky Dates. It’s an amazing scent that lasts forever on the skin and just oozes comfort. This superb scrub contains Caster Sugar and Golden Caster Sugar to really help buff dead skin away. This scrub also contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and Argan Oil to ensure that this scrub isn’t too stripping for the skin and to ensure that your skin can be as soft and supple as possible! Argan Oil is quite well known for its soothing and conditioning properties! This scrub also contains Date Syrup, Benzoin Resinoid, Sandalwood Oil & Carob Resinoid. To me, this scrub has a quite sweet scent and it is utterly divine! It reminds me of Sticky Toffee Pudding. The Golden Caster Sugar and Date Syrup do seem to intensify the scent a bit compared to the O.G Sticky Dates Shower Gel. The scrub itself is gorgeous. It’s gritty but not too gritty and a little is needed. I have quite dry skin so I do like to scrub often or have a deep scrub and this scrub worked wonders on my skin. If you’ve tried the Barbie Scrub or the Old Songs Are Waking scrub  and loved the texture then you will love this one as they share the same texture!! If you like sweet scents, sticky toffee or want something comforting and good enough to eat to scrub away dead skin with then I would definitely recommend giving this a go.  Priced at £10 for a 135g tub or £20 for a 290g tub. 

Sticky Dates Body Lotion 

Well your skin needs to be nourished before that first date during the Easter holidays! 

Following on with the Sticky Dates love, for their Easter 2024 range, Lush have released a Sticky Dates Lotion and oh my it is fabulous! I am so happy to be adding this to my Sticky Dates shrine. Yes you heard right, shrine. Don’t judge me! This lotion contains Organic Jojoba Oil, Sunflower Oil which is rich in Vitamin E, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter and Organic Illipe Butter to ensure that the skin is truly moisturised. The lotion contains Vanilla Pod Decoction (fun fact, this is actually made in house at Lush), Carob Resinoid, Sandalwood Oil and Benzoin Resinoid. This blend of oils creates a gorgeous dessert scent that reminds me personally of when you walk into a house and you can tell someone has been baking. I love this lotion, it’s light but severely moisturising which is quite hard to achieve! When I’ve used it, I’ve noticed that it sinks into the skin quite easily which is great because I hate it when you have to stand and wait after applying body products to ensure that you’re not left with a greasy feeling on the skin. As mentioned, I adore Sticky Dates so I’ll definitely be layering this with the Body Spray when I go out to make sure everyone wonders what is that gorgeous scent that I am wearing. If you’ve been wanting something that deeply nourishes the skin or want a gorgeous new body product to use when you’re going out out in 2024 then I would definitely recommend picking a bottle up! Priced at £10 for a 100g bottle and £20 for a 250g bottle. 

Easter Turtle Shower Jelly 

It’s time for this turtle to move from Easter Island to the bathroom! 

This shower jelly contains Bladderwhack Seaweed Infusion, Sugar Kelp Infusion, Carrageenan Extract, Myrrh Resinoid, Orange Flower Absolute and Cinnamon Leaf Oil: This blend of ingredients creates a deep Spiced Apple scent to me. The infusions bring a sort of fresh undertone to the scent which pushes the Apple a little bit more the forefront compared to the spiced scent which comes from mainly the Cinnamon that is in this jelly. Bladderwhack and Sugar Kelp are both known for their moisturising properties and they definitely do help to nourish the body when you use this wonderful turtle.  This terrific turtle is massive and a little will go a long way. I use it via just swiping Easter Turtle over my body but if you’re feeling sadistic you can always chop them up into smaller bits. I love the scent of this Turtle but I love anything spicy. Anyone that knows me knows that I’m a fiend for anything flavoured or scented with spices such as Cinnamon. I definitely need to name my Easter Turtle! Leave your suggestions down below! This Shower Jelly shares the same scent as Temptation Shower Gel and Apple Crumble Bubble Bar from Lush and I know a fair few of you miss the Gel so this would be a great replacement if you are missing it! If you’re looking for a cute new shower product or for something that will stimulate and nourish the skin whilst the weather is slowly getting a little bit better or for a product to help the kids wash then I would definitely recommend Easter Turtle! Priced at £14 for a 220g Turtle. 

Hot Cross  Bunny Bubble Bar 

To paraphrase Bridget Jones, this bubble bar is for when you need to go home and de-bunny! 

This bubble bar contains Sicilian Lemon OIl, Ginger Oil, Ginger Powder & Buchu Oil. To me, this amalgamation  of ingredients creates a very spicy scent with a  blast of Lemon and a slight citrusy blackcurrant undertone from the Buchu. I love anything Ginger and Lemon so when I smelt this I was in heaven! I also use Ginger in my baths quite often due to forever being in pain or when I accidentally whack my body when I’m rushing to get out or on a train (this happened last week) as it not only helps to soothe aching muscles but also aids circulation which is great for this time of year! If you’re a Lushie who remembers some of the retro products then you may know the scent of this bubble bar via Gingerbread House or Mercury Retrograde!. Lush decided to use this scent due to a suggestion by xpeachx on Discord so here’s my suggestion, Lush put this scent into a Shower Gel or Body Spray please! If you’re looking for something warming and to help you destress during the Easter time then I do really recommend this Bubble Bar. I’d also recommend screaming into the tub whilst you crumble it if you need to! Priced at £5.

Thank you so much to the wonderful Community Team and Finley for sending me these amazing goodies before they drop in store! You can already order them via the Lush App but if you prefer to go in store then the Easter range which includes the above products will be available in store and on the Lush website from tomorrow (Thursday 15th February 2024). 

Will you be checking out the Easter range? Do you like the sound of any of the products mentioned? Do you like the Lush Sticky Dates scent? Let me know down below!

Thanks for reading!

Having Some F.U.N At The Bottom Of My Tub | Lush X SpongeBob Range

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post. I recently went to Lush to check out their new Lush X SpongeBob collaboration range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it. 

‘In support of Paramount’s SpongeBob SquarePants: Operation Sea Change campaign, a global ocean conservation and sustainability initiative, which kicked off last year, Lush is thrilled to have been able to co-create a range of six new, fun and immersive products across bath, shower and skin care to ensure multiple steps of your body care routine are covered.’ - Lush UK. 

SpongeBob Bath Bomb 

Who lives in a Pineapple underneath the tub? SpongeBob does! 

This bath bomb is the epitome of cuteness via being designed around SpongeBob himself! This bath bomb contains Buchu,, Litsea Cubeba, Sweet Wild Orange, Pineapple Powder and Popping Candy. If you are a fan of Lush then you may recognise these ingredients as they make up the scent of Passion Fruit Delight Body Wash/Cyclops Bubble Bar. I love the smell of this bomb as honestly it makes me instantly think of drinks in the Summer when the nights are humid. I love anything Pineapple but I think as the Pineapple in this is via a powder it helps to add a backnote for the Passionfruit to jump off from more than anything and to create SpongeBob’s iconic colour in my opinion. I love this bath bomb in the water as the colour of the water just makes me smile. I also love that when I dropped this cute bomb into the water, SpongeBob started to crackle and pop. Once the popping had settled, I noticed that something was in the water… It was SpongeBob’s iconic pants! I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who loves fruity scents or for anyone like myself who loves SpongeBob! Priced at £4.50. 

SpongeBob Soap 

Who thought that in 2023, we’d be able to wash ourselves with SpongeBob. 

This soap contains Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Fresh Pineapple Juice, Buchu, Sweet Wild Orange and Litsea Cubeba Oils. 

This soap shares the same scent as the SpongeBob Bath Bomb so I would definitely grab both for either a gift for someone or so that you can truly enjoy a fruity SpongeBob inspired Bath. I love Lush’s soaps as they contain oils that nourish my dry skin and always pack a punch when it comes to scents. I also love this scent and do think that it would be perfect in a Body Spray! It does feel F.U,N. to take a little SpongeBob into the bath/shower to wash yourself with. 

As this range is focused around helping to cut down on plastic especially around Plastic-Free July, Lush recommend to pair this soap that can replace the use of a shower gel that usually comes in plastic packaging, Not Sleepy Shower Bomb, Home Sweet Pineapple Body Balm and Jumping Juniper Shempoo Bar for the ultimate plastic-free shower routine. I would personally add The Golden Cap Conditioner Bar for those who may have quite dry hair or who would be looking for a plastic free hair conditioner that would go well with this Soap.

I absolutely love this cute soap and I would definitely recommend this as a gift for those who love to have fun, children or for a special person who could do with a little SpongeBob in the bathroom to brighten up their day. Priced at £5.50. 

Surprised Patrick Bath Bomb 

If you’ve been living under a rock then you definitely should grab this meme worthy bath bomb and drop him into the tub. This cute bath bomb contains Fir Balsam Resinoid, Vanilla Absolute, Coconut Milk Powder and Popping Candy. I quite adore the scent of this bomb as it mainly smells of Coconut with a sort of musky grassy note which I think is mainly coming from the Fir Balsam Resinoid that is in this product. I have had a fair few products in my time that are synthetically sweet Coconut orientated so I’m glad that Lush have released something that is more of a true Coconut scent to me. This bomb is amazing in the bath. Did it surprise me? Of course it did, I knew that there was Popping Candy in it but I wasn’t expecting it to be as softening as it was or for it to create such beautiful bath art in the tub. The softening feature of this bomb is mainly from the Coconut Milk Powder and like Toby’s Magic Cow that also contains this, it creates a really silky feeling to the bath. To me, this surprisingly superb bath bomb created a sort of peachy sunset vibe in the tub. Once I had finished my bath, just like SpongeBob, I noticed Patricks pants floating in the water that were in the middle of the bomb! I’ll definitely be getting this again before the range disappears. 

As this range is centralised around being plastic free. Lush have recommended pairing this bath bomb with Fresh Farmacy Cleaner, Full Off Grace Serum and King Of Skin. I would probably change Fresh Farmacy for Tea Totaler Solid Cleanser just as it works for my skin a little bit better than Fresh Farmacy. I would also personally use Coconut Rice Cake Shampoo Bar too as my hair loves it and its a great plastic-free Coconut scented Shampoo. 

I’d recommend this for anyone who loves Coconut or for someone who wants a bath bomb that will leave them shocked in multiple ways. This bomb also contains glitter! I’d definitely recommend pairing the two bombs together for maybe a treat for someone or for someone who’s about to go on holiday like my own Mother! Priced at £4.50. 

Squidward Bubble Bar 

A bath product made specifically for those who are a little impatient, cymbal and sarcastic? Sign me up! 

If you’ve ever related to Squidward which lets be honest is most of us especially in our adult years then you will definitely love this bubble bar. Not only does it look and smell amazing but you get to take out all of your anger out by crumbling good old Squidward into the tub. This bubble bar contains Persian Lime Oil, Seaweed Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute and Blue Spirulina Extract. To me, this smells very similar to Ocean Salt from Lush and definitely reminds me of a cocktail on the beach. I guess if I had to say a specific cocktail then id say maybe a Caipirinha or a Margarita. To me, the Violet Leaf mainly is in this product to boost the scent of the Lime and Seaweed more than anything. When I read that this contained Violet I was expecting it to be Violet heavy but oh how I was wrong. The Spirulina is mainly there to provide colour to Squidward! When the crumbs of this product was mixing with the water in my bathtub, I could definitely smell it and oh did I love it. This bubble bar also contains glitter.

As this is a part of a Plastic-Free range, Lush recommends pairing it with Sea Vegetable Soap, Seanik Shempoo Bar and After Massage Bar. I think for me personally, I’ll be pairing this with Outback Mate Soap as I already have a chunk of it that I should use and maybe also Tingle Solid Body Conditioner especially if its still as warm as it has been in the UK lately when I use it. 

I’d definitely recommend this for people who are into fresh scents or for anyone who loves the seaside! I’d obviously recommend also buying it for yourself when one of those bad days happen or for anyone in your life that is similar to Squidward. I mean, let’s be honest, we all know a few… Priced at £5. 

Home Sweet Pineapple Body Balm 

Home is where the Pineapple is. Well, it is for SpongeBob! When I saw this product I knew that I had to have it. I mean, I love Pineapples, I love body care and I love products that will nourish my ever so dry skin!

This body balm contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Shea Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, Mango Butter, Fresh Pineapple Juice, Davana Oil, Tonka Absolute and Fir Balsam Resinoid. The Pineapple Juice, Davana and Tonka are the main stars when it comes to scent for me. I think like the other products in this range, the Fir Balsam helps to create a sort of smoky/musky banknote more than anything. The Pineapple, Davana and Tonka create a sort of Pineapple Cake scent. When I smelt this, the way I described it to Luke was sort of a Raspberry and Coconut cake but replace the Raspberry with Pineapple. Is it similar to a Pina Colada? Kind of but more robust and I guess smoky in a way whereas Pina Coladas tend to be more creamy and sweet than anything else. Definitely a scent profile that I hope to see in other formats in the future at Lush. A body spray or a bath bomb would be amazing I think. The texture of this body balm is quite interesting. It’s creamy just like massage bars from Lush and help to make skin feel nourished and soft just like massage bars from Lush do but this fruit shaped body balm has a sort of lighter texture than a massage bar does. I’d say that this releases a sort of light serum where as massage bars release more of a thick oil in my opinion. I’d definitely recmonned this to anyone who loves Pineapples or is looking for something that will keep their body from being dry this Summer but doesn’t get on with a Massage Bar sometimes. If you can get into a store, id definitely recommend asking a Lush staff member to try it out on you! Priced at £9 for an 80g bar. 

Krabby Bathy Gift Set 

You better grab this Krabby Bathy before Plankton tries to get his hands on it! 

Not only does this gift set look amazing through the on theme packaging and shape of the products resembling a Krabby Patty Burger but also smell amazing. This gift set contains two bath bombs that contain Bergamot Oil, Lime Oil and Violet Leaf Absolute which creates a deep sort of Blackcurrant scent to me. The Patty Bubble Bar contains Bergamot, Buchu and Sicilian Lemon Oils and Glitter. If you have smelt anything under the Carrots scent range at Lush then this shares the same scent. If not then the best way to imagine it is a sort of sunny citrus blend with a grassy undertone to it. A great summer scent really. The lettuce and tomato soaps contain Irish moss Infusion, Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil, Fresh Tomato, Fresh Lettuce, Bergamot and Rose Oils. Bergamot and Rose Oils apparently make up the scent of Watermelons which I wasn’t expecting. I’m not the biggest fan of Watermelon scents just as they’re a bit of a marmite situation for myself but I know people such as my friend Michelle who loves anything Watermelon scented. This is definitely a cute gift set and I’d definitely recommend this for anyone who loves anything cute really. Priced at £14. 

SpongeBob Character Face Cloths 

Who doesn’t want to wake up first thing in the morning and wash their face with a familiar character on the cloth? These face cloths are made from organic cotton muslin so they are super gentle on the face. I quite like that Lush have released cloths to go along with their face care. They’re quite soft and super cute. I do think personally I would prefer a sort of plastic free microfibre cloth but that’s just me. I do use reusable eco-pads when it comes to removing makeup and skincare so I will add them to the mix for when I’m feeling a bit bleh and want a cute character to help me first thing in the morning. Priced £12 for 3. 

Who is your favourite character from SpongeBob? Will you be buying any of the products from the Lush X SpongeBob range? Let me know!

The Skincare Product That’s Been Brightening UP My Life | Garnier Vitamin C Anti-Dark Spots & Brightening Serum Review

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I thought that today I would talk to you about a skincare product that I have been loving lately. 

‘Our Vitamin C Anti-Dark Spot Serum is enriched with a potent mix of [3.5%] Vitamin C*, Niacinamide & Salicylic Acid, to reduce the appearance of dark spots and enhance glow, along with Lemon Extract, a powerful superfood well known for its brightening properties. The formula has been carefully blended to provide dark-spot action without being heavy or greasy on the skin.

All Garnier products globally are officially approved by Cruelty Free International under the Leaping Bunny Programme, the leading organisation working to end animal testing worldwide, and the recognised Cruelty Free Gold Standard.’ - Garnier UK. 

The texture of this product is quite interesting. It’s light yet not runny. It’s moisturising but not greasy. 

When I squeezes some of the product out from the pipette, I noticed that it didn’t run all over the place which I like as it means I don’t have to be super anxious that I’m going to slightly tilt my hand and have serum not only run all down myself but in essence waste product that my skin could be enjoying. With some serums that I have used in the past, they have promised to be light yet have took ages to sink into the skin which is a pain for me as I have a tendency to rush and multitask when it comes to skincare sometimes. This mainly has a tendency to happen in the morning more than anything. 

The scent of this product was a quite unusual one for me. Most Vitamin C products that I have used in the past normally come with quite a strong Orange heavy scent to them but this did not. Instead Garner chose to go with more of a floral scent for this product. As stated above, the scent confused me a bit but as soon as I used it I quite liked it. Soft, delicate and floral. When I applied this superb serum to my skin, the scent dissipated  into my skin quite well which I adored and when layering with other slightly scented skincare the scents blended well together.

After using this serum for a while, I did notice a difference. I suffer from dry, dull and stressed skin which can lead to acne breakouts sometimes. Whilst using this product I have noticed a reduction in the amount of breakouts that I have which is due to the Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid that is featured in this product. After using this serum for a few months, I have noticed that my skin does look more vibrant and is now glowing for the gods which I have been in need for a while. After University and a tough time, I noticed that my skin was lacking in vibrancy so to find something that is easy to find in drugstores in my local city and is affordable is pretty amazing to me. 

Would I buy this again? Oh definitely, I’ll definitely be buying this. I am close to finishing a bottle of this sublime serum so once I am done with it I’ll definitely be restocking! I mean, it does wonders for my skin, is reasonably priced compared to some of the other Vitamin C serums on the market in the UK and is easy for me to stock up on when I need it. 9/10. 

(At the time of writing this post which is the 26th of June 2023, Garnier Vitamin C Anti-Dark Spots & Brightening Serum is on offer at Boots. When you use your Advantage Card, you can grab this perfect product for £8.50.)

Letting The Asteroid Crash Into Ny Tub | Lush X Asteroid City Range

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post. I recently went to Lush to check out their new Asteroid City collaboration range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it.

Asteroid Bath Bomb 

This bath bomb is inspired by Asteroid Day that is celebrated in the Asteroid City film by Wes Anderson and the hypothetical planet from the film that is known as Magnavox-27, 

This bath bomb contains Grapefruit, Bergamot and Almond Oils which creates a summery scent that reminds me personally of sweet shops. If you have tried Space Girl or Raspberry Blower Bubble Bar from Lush then you may like the scent of this bomb as Asteroid shares the same scent as these. This bath bomb will turn your bath into an ethereal escapist oasis via turning it a mixture of silver, blue, red and purple. I love this scent as one of the first bombs that I had from Lush back in the day was Space Girl so when I smelt this bomb it instantly took me back to when Space Girl was available all year round in stores. I also think that the mixture of the oils in this product make a sort of tart summer drink which I absolutely adore. If you know anyone that loves all things Asteroids or Wes Anderson then this bath bomb will definitely be for them. I would also suggest getting this if you’re looking for a bomb to compliment the gorgeous weather that we are having in the UK at the moment. Priced at £6. 

Asteroid City Shower Gel 

This shares the same scent as the Asteroid Bath Bomb. This gel like the bomb contains Grapefruit, Bergamot and Almond Oils which creates a sort of blackcurrant mixed with walking into a sweet shop sort of scent to me. The colour of this gel is a pretty pastel blue which just evokes British blue skied Summers to me, I love this gel. My only qualm about this gel though is the texture. It is slightly on the runnier side which I don’t mind as I use intergalactic Gel from Lush quite a bit and that is extra runny but I do imagine that I may have to be careful with this gel if I was to travel with it. If you’re looking for a Shower Gel to perk you up this 2023 or for one to use before going on a date to see the new Asteroid City film then I would definitely recommend this. I also think that this gel would go well with other fruity scents such as The Comforter Body Spray or Hairdressers Husband Perfume from Lush. Priced at £15 for a 290g bottle. 

UFO Shower Jelly 

UFO? Don’t you mean Unidentifiable Object? This shower jelly will definitely create a lasting memory! This product contains Fair Trade Organic Aloe Vera Gel, Lime and Neroli Oils and Olibanium Resinoid. If you have ever smelt the Zesty products from Lush and wanted a Shower Jelly that smelt like Zesrty then you are in luck as this Shower Jelly shares the same scent as Zesty. I have to be in the right mood to enjoy Zesty but when I do oh it’s lovely. The Lime works beautifully with he Neroli and Olibanum in this product as the blend of ingredients reminds me of a mysterious creamy Lime drink. I’d definitely recommend this for those in your life who love programmes like X Files but id also recommend it for a treat yourself gift. Whack it in the freezer, let it firm up and you’ve got a product that you can use to treat yourself this Summer. Priced at £7. 

Doomsday Soap 

Let’s not leave soaps out of this unworldly mix of gorgeous products. This soap contains Sand, Bergamot and Cypress Oils and Blackcurrant Absolute. This creates a beautifully sweet Blackcurrant scent. To me, the scent of this soap reminds me of a Kir Royale cocktail. If you like all things The Comforter from Lush then you will love this soap as it shares the same scent. (Does anyone else remember Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly that shares the same scent too?) The sand in Doomsday creates a scrub that helps ro remove dead skin cells and ensure that skin is super smooth. Personally, I prefer a slightly grittier scrub like the old Salted Coconut Hand Scrub that used to be available at Lush once upon a time. However, this sand scrub enhanced soap does a good job at scrubbing the skin and is a great product for when you don’t have time for a full on exfoliation. According to a staff member, the disc that is on this soap can be used as a sort of stand for the Asteroid Bomb. Priced at £6. 

Asteroid City is out in cinemas on the 23rd June. 

Will you be watching Asteroid City? Do you love all things space? What’s your favourite Wes Anderson films and Lush products? Let me know down below!

Wahoo! Let's Have An Adventure In The Bath Instead Of Rainbow Road For Once | Lush X Super Mario Bros Movie Range First Impressions

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post. I recently went to Lush White Rose to check out the new Lush X Super Mario Bros Movie collaboration range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it 

Shower Gels: 

Mario 

Mamma mia, Mario has been turned into a Shower Gel and he smells amazing! This shower gel contains Persian Lime, Black Pepper, Aniseed, Benzoin Resinoid and Fresh Pomegranate Juice. These all mingle together to create an intensely spicy Cola scent. For me the Pomegranate Juice is more for the colour of the gel than anything but it does add a touch of sweetness just like the sweetness that you expect to find in that iconic red can of Cola. I love this scent. The Black Pepper and Aniseed mingle together to give a truly nostalgic scent whilst the Lime just helps to heighten the scent for me. I know that Cola sounds like a very unique scent to shower or bathe in but trust me it works! If you know anyone who loves Cola or Mario then this is definitely something that you should get them. I’m glad that I have purchased a big bottle so I can use it without rationing it. I alos think that this scent will be perfect for those cold days where you want a scent to pick your mood up and make sure that you feel invigorated enough to get on with the day. If you have shopped at Lush before then you may know this scent by a different name. Those names include Santa Baby Lip Scrub and Santa’s Christmas Shower Cream. Priced at £8 for a 120g bottle. 

Luigi

You can’t have Mario without having Luigi! This shower gel contains Bergamot, Brazilian Orange and Neroli Oils, Rose and Orange Flower Absolutes and Fresh Apple Juice,. I know that this sounds like a very odd concoction but these ingredients mixed together creates a very sharp Apple scent which is perfect for the beginning of Spring. The main sort of note for me that I can detect other than Apple is Rose but its not strong and just adds a sort of fresh floral note to the background which I quite like. If you have ever tried the So White, Once Upon A Time, Rumba or Atom Heart Mother products from Lush then you will love this shower gel as it is the same scent as the aforementioned products. I quite adore this scent but I have to be in the perfect mood for it or it has to be that sort of sunny yet slight breeze sort of style of weather to make me go for it but I am glad that is is available in a Shower Gel! To me, due to the Fresh Apple Juice this does have a little bit more of a punchier Apple scent to it which I really enjoy. Priced at £8 for a 120g bottle. 

Shower Jellies:

Bowser 

It’s time to defeat Bowser in the shower! Let’s a-go! This Shower Jelly contains Cinnamon Stick and Star Anise Infusion, Cinnamon Leaf, Clove Leaf, Lime, Dark Sumatran Patchouli, and Brazilian Orange Oils and Benzoin Resinoid. I love this scent. It’s spicy, citrusy and creamy. What’s not to love? To me the main scents are the spices especially the Patchouli and Cinnamon alongside the Clove whilst the Lime helps to boost the spices just like in the Mario Gel and the Benzoin Resinoid adds a creamy note that takes a while to detect. If you have smelt the Hot Toddy Gel before from Lush before and loved it then you will love this Jelly too as it shares the same scent as Hot Toddy. I have been waiting for a Hot Toddy Jelly for years so I knew that I had to have this as soon as I smelt it. It really does smell like a Hot Toddy drink and I think that it represents Bowser quite well in my opinion! Definitely worth getting if you love spicy scents or love being the villain or chaotic in life. Priced at £6.50 for a 100g tub. 

Princess Peach 

It’s time to save Princess Peach from the head of the Shower! This Shower Jelly contains Fresh Peach Infusion, Organic Sweet Orange, Buchu and Litsea Cubeba Oils, Olibanum Resinoid and Champaca Absolute. I was surprised when I smelt this brand new scent for Lush. I was expecting synthetic Peach with a big hit of floral but that’s not what this is. To me, the Peach Infusion, Orange, Buchu and Litsea Cubeba mingle together to create a sort of fresh yet slightly sugary Peach and Pineapple scent whilst the other ingreidnetrs help to push them even further. I was unsure on the addition of Champaca but I think that in this it helps to add that fizziness to the scent I’m also a touch confused at how this smells of Pineapple when there is no Pineapple in the product but if you know me then you will know that I love Pineapple. If you love fresh and fruity scents then I would definitely recommend trying this or if you want to smell something that reminds you of Haribo Tangfastics then I’d definitely say go and give this product a sniff. I can’t wait for Summer to kick in as I think that this will be an amazing scent for the Summer time and will be very surprised if Lush do not keep this scent on after the Mario Collab. It is amazing! Priced at £6.50 for a 100g tub. 

Bath Bomb: 

Question Block 

The question on everyones lips is what is in the box? This bath bomb really is a mystery. This bath bomb comes in a variation of six different scents so instead of stating what is in inside all six I thought that I would just state the scents. You have Big which is a sea breeze scent that contains Red Mandarin, Sexy Peel which is a citrus scent that contains Grapefruit Cinders which is a scent that contains Almond, Honey I Washed The Kids, a scent that contains Orange and Bergamot but smells like a mix of honey and toffee, Avocado Co-Wash, a scent that smells sort of like  Lime Cheesecake and Outback Mate, a scent that contains Eucalpytus and Lemongrass. Inside of these bombs is a surprise soap that is themed around Super Mario Bros and is in the same scent as the bomb so if you get a bomb that smells of Big then the soap will too. In stores, these bombs are in a box together which means there is a good chance that you will get a mystery bomb unless you know what all six scents smell like. These are a great product to give as a gift and are massive. These bombs around 600g so they are pretty heavy! I picked up one in what I believe is the Big scent which I love as its one of the scents from Lush that evokes the beginning of Spring to me along with Dragons Egg, Sex Bomb and Sakura. I get why some may be a bit hesitant to get one of these as they are on the more expensive side for a bomb but they are massive and you get two products for the price and you could definitely chop this bomb into two so its not too bad when you actually think about it Priced at £14. 

Soap: 

Gold Coin 

Who doesn’t love a gold coin? This soap contains Bergamot, Brazilian Orange and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. This shares the same scent as Honey I Washed The Kids but is vegan. The coconut oil ensures that it is nourishing to the skin. There is also glitter in the soap for those who love glitter. I love Honey I Washed The Kids and I love that the formulation has been tweaked so that vegans can enjoy it. Priced at £5. 

Body Spray: 

Princess Peach 

Who doesn’t want to smell like the iconic Princess of Video Games? This spray contains Organic Sweet Wild Orange, Buchu and Litsea Cubeba Oils, Benzoin Resinoid and Champaca Absolute. To me, this smells just like the Shower Jelly mentioned earlier in this blog post. Fizzy, sweet and fruity. Peach and Pineapple in a sort of fizzy sour sweet way to me. Amazing. I can definitely imagine this being a great scent to spritz and wear when the weather is warm for a week in England. I love it. I love how the Champaca just helps to push the scent further without taking over in regards to the fruity ingredients in this spray. If you like fruity scents then I think that you will love this scent. Priced at £30.

What do you think? Will you be picking up any of the Lush X Super Mario Bros Movie range? Have you already picked up some of the products from this raange/ Will you be watching the movie? Let me know down below. 

Thanks to the staff at Lush White Rose for helping myself and Luke out with checking out the range and grabbing some bits of content for social media especially Betty, Jas and Katrina. 

Thanks for reading!
