AD | It's Time To Have Your Bath Bomb & Enjoy It Too! | Lush X Hello Kitty and Friends Range

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I was recently sent some of the goodies from the Hello Kitty and Friends X Lush Collaboration Range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about the range! 

If anyone knows me well then you will know that I adore Sanrio! I recently went away and had to pop into a Sanrio store when I saw one! I forever have a soft spot for characters such as Gudetama and Aggretsuko. When I heard that Lush was collaborating with Sanrio I honestly knew that I would have to check it out and grab everything as soon as I could so when Lush sent me this parcel of goodies not only was I so grateful I was so excited to delve in and check everything out! 

Hello Kitty Bath Bomb (£6).

She truly is the icon! 

Hello Kitty has been a staple in all of our lives for a long long while now and now she's here to be a staple in your bathing routine too!

Hello Kitty Bath Bomb contains Brazilian Orange Oil, Patchouli Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Vanilla Absolute. These oils blend together to create a truly interesting scent. Lush describe this as a true amalgamation of two of their iconic scents. Snow Fairy and Milky Bath. Hello Kitty's Bow is a bath melt that consists some truly fabulous butters to nourish the skin such as Kokum Butter and Hello Kitty's nose is made of a Boba Pearl. 

To me, this bath bomb in the water creates a sweet scent that truly smells of the iconic Snow Fairy from Lush worth a little bit of a citrus twang to it which is interesting to smell especially in the water! I loved the addition of the bow being a bath melt as I'm someone who has quite dry skin and anything that contains butters that will nourish the skin is always a great thing in my opinion. Not only did my skin feel amazing after enjoying Hello Kitty in the bath but I also smelt delectable. I feel like this would be a great gift for anyone who wants something sweet in the bath and is a big fan of Snow Fairy but would like something new due to having everything Snow Fairy already in their collection. 

Kuromi Bath Bomb (£6).

Don't trust a bath bomb by its dark and deceiving design... 

Kuromi is here! Kuromi may look all dark and sinister on the outside but get to know her and you'll realise that she's an absolute sweetheart. 

Lush has epitomised the dark yet absolutely cute vibe of Kuromi not only by Kuromi releasing black rainbow lustre and pink into the water but also by the scent of this beautiful bath bomb. Lush has scented Kuromi with the Happy Bloomimg scent. Happy Blooming contains Almond Essential Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Ylang Ylang which blend together to create a truly delicious Cherry Bakewell scent that has notes of Black Cherry to it with a slightly fresh and floral undertone.

I am slightly hesitant when it comes to Cherry scents and Cherry Bakewell as I have spent years absolutely detesting Cherry and Almond as they can be too synthetic but Happy Blooming is a beautiful scent as the Ylang Ylang adds a interesting element to the scent. I love anything that has rainbow black lustre in so mixing that with Happy Blooming meant that I knew that I was going to love this bath bomb and I very much do! 

 Kuromi would make a perfect gift for those in your life who are sometimes a little dark and mysterious. 

My Melody Bath Bomb (£6).

My Melody may know a thing or two about baking but would it surprise you if she knew a thing or two about bathing too? 

My Melody is known for all things baking and I think that Lush has done a great job representing this in the form of the scent that My Melody is in this creative collaborative range. 

My Melody is scented with the iconic American Cream scent which to some reminds them of Strawberry Shortcakes and eating beautiful dishes at a dessert bar. American Cream contains Vanilla Absolute, Clary Sage Oil, Lavender Oil and Benzoin Resinoid which blend together to create a truly scrumptious scent that makes you feel like you are bathing on a cloud. Did you know that Lavender is known for its soothing properties so this bath bomb would definitely help you relax after a stressful day of creative challenges. 

I mean I love American Cream but I really love American Cream in the height of Spring as it reminds me a bit of enjoying a Strawberry Milkshake in a shopping centre during the height of Spring. I paired this with the American Cream Shower Gel and the old Sreawberry Heart Shower Jelly and honestly I had an amazing bath that created some cute bath art! 

Cinnamoroll Bath Bomb (£6).

Who doesn't want to smell like freshly made cinnamon rolls? 

Cinnamoroll is here and this beautiful bath bomb is not only going to make you feel comforted with their scent but will also make you feel like you're bathing on clouds due to the beautiful blue bath art that Cinnamoroll creates in the tub. 

Cinnamoroll contains Rice Starch, Almond Essential Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Carob Resinoid and Cinnamon Leaf Oil to create a truly scrumptious freshly basked Cinnamon Roll scent that has a bit of sweetness to it. I absolutely adore anything Cinnamon so when I saw that Lush were creating a Cinnamon Roll scented bath bomb inspired by Cinnamoroll I was very excited! Lush truly met my expectations and more with this bath bomb. Cinnamoroll does smell like Cinnamon Rolls like I've said due to the inclusion of Vanilla and Cinnamon but the Carob adds a slightly smoky toffee note to it which to me makes it smell like the caramelised middle part of a cinnamon roll.You know where it's slightly sticky and slightly caramelised? 

Honestly if you know anyone in your life who loves cinnamon rolls and baths then definitely grab them this bath bomb! They will be ever so thankful that you gifted them it.

Milk Bottle Bubble Bar (£9.50). 

We all know that Milk helps to relax us and so do baths so why not combine the two together? 

Fun fact! Did you know that Milk Bottle was the first accessory that Hello Kitty carried when Hello Kitty was released in 1975? 

Milk Bottle contains Sea Salt which is known to help you relax. Milk Bottle also contains Buchu Absolute, Almond Essential Oil, Cocoa Absolute and Labdanum Resinoid. If you're a big fan of Lush then you may recognise the scent of this Bubble Bar via the Candy Rain Conditioner. To me the mixture of Almond, Cocoa, Vanilla and Labdanum creates a rich creamy scent that has a touch of fruitiness in the background. If you're based in the UK and love the Milk Bottle sweets then I think that you will adore this bubble bar. I mean look  at it, I'm lactose intolerant and even I think that this is an adorable product for the bath! 

Friendship Cake Soap 

It's time to have you cake, share it amongst friends and use it to cleanse yourself beautifully too! 

This Friendship Cake Soap looks amazing! The effort that has gone into this soap is impeccable! The Friendship Cake Soap can be sliced into individual slices to take home and use or can be sold as a whole cake for you to share with friends and family when you're home or celebrating something amazing! 

Friendship Cake Soap contains Tangerine and Orange Oils which combine to create a truly refreshing Orange scent that will make your mouth water. If you have tried the Angels Delight Soap or the Shiz University Massage Bar from Lush and loved it then you're in luck as the Friendship Cake Soap shares the same scent! This super soap also contains junk Organic Agave Syrup, Almond Oil and Pressed Murumuru Butter which are combined together and layered onto the top of the cake shaped soap to represent buttercream/frosting on the top of a freshly baked cake! This combination of butters ensures that your skin is nourished and soft after using in the bathroom. I adore the scent of this Soap. It just reminds me of bright and warm Summer days when everything just feels fabulous and warm! As someone with dry skin, I love the fact that this soap has that whipped top. It ensures that my hands don't feel dry even if I'm washing them a lot throughout the day which happens a fair bit! If you're a fan of citrus scents or want something bright and zingy to wash with then definitely check this amazing soap out or buy a slice and gift to a friend who needs a pick me up!

Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel (from £8.50).

Who says showering can't be fun?! 

This Shower Gel like the Hello Kitty Bath Bomb shares the scent of the two famous Lush scents (Milky Bath and Snow Fairy) alongside some other gorgeous goodies. 

This shower gel contains Fresh Strawberry Puree, Fine Sea Salt, Brazilian Orange Oil, Patchouli Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Vanilla Absolute which combine to create a truly unique scent. To me, I say that the Snow Fairy element of the shower gel blends into the Strawberry Puree a bit which then combines with the Patchouli and Orange which make up the scent profile of Milky Bath at Lush which to me smells like fresh clean cotton with a sort of spicy kick to it. When these two scents combine, in the format of the shower gel, I get a sort of spicy grown up strawberry ice cream scent to it in a way.  

If you're a fan of glitter (I mean who isn't?) then you will love this Shower Gel as Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel contains a special red glitter that evokes the spirit of Hello Kitty and her friends when it shimmers beautifully in the light. 

If you're a fan of Snow Fairy Milkshake from Christmas 2024 or American Cream then I think that you will adore this scent. I've been using it first thing in the morning and it's just helped to perk me up when I felt a bit bleh as the Patchouli helps to ground me but the Strawberry and Vanilla makes me think I can feel cute and crack on with the day no matter what. 

Hello Kitty and Friends Perfume (£30).

What does Hello Kitty smell of? Well now you'll be able to find out and smell just like her!

Lush have decided to bottle up the spirit of Helko Kitty in a glass perfume bottle that is adorned with characters from the Sanrio universe on the front for us to enjoy and feel truly like one of the gang alongside Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll and the rest of the gang! 

This perfume shares the same scent profile as the Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel and the Hello Kitty Bath Bomb that consists of Milky Bath and Snow Fairy.  

This perfume contains Brazilian Orange Oil, Patchouli Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Vanilla Absolute to create this iconic scent. To me the Benzoin and Vanilla create that iconic Snow Fairy scent in this perfume whilst the other two ingredients make up the scent DNA of Milky Bath from Lush which combine to create a fragrance that will make people ask you what are you wearing because it smells that good! 

I have tested this out on paper and skin and I have also done a full day wear test of only using Hello Kitty and Friends Perfume before when I was in store before writing this blog post. It's also worth noting that everyone's skin can react to perfumes differently.

When I sprayed this onto my skin, the first note I got was that truly iconic pink Snow Fairy scent which just screams nostalgia and great times to me due to using Snow Fairy over the past ten years at least. The Snow Fairy note did flash off my skin quite quickly but left a hint on my skin which mingled and intertwined with the Patchouli and Orange which created a sweet yet creamy scent with a grounding edge. After wearing all day including running errands, shopping, checking a new Lush range out and getting home, I was left with a quite creamy scent on my skin. The best way I would describe the scent would be milky with a splash of sweetness to it. Honestly the scent I was left with after wearing this perfume wall day was similar to Candy Rain from Lush which I adore as it's creamy but has a depth and complexity to it due to the other ingredients in the scent profile such as Buchu and Cocoa that makes up the lovely scent of Candy Rain/Mrs Whippy. All in all I do think that it's an amazing scent. 

Thanks again to the wonderful people at Lush for sending me some of the items on the Hello Kitty and Friends X Lush Range.

What's Up? It's Time To Shower! | Lush Kitchen April Shower Box 2025

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I recently received the Lush Kitchen April Shower Box and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it and tell you my thoughts! 

Aprils Kitchen Box is titled 'What's Up Choc?' As you can tell by the name, this box is centralised around all things Easter particular all things Chocolate. This box uses chocolate and gourmand scents in a fascinating way and is featured in several shower based products within Aprils Kitchen Box. 

I grabbed this Kitchen Box as I was intrigued to see how Lush would use gourmand and chocolate scents in different shower products. I also grabbed this box because I adore Spring and Chocolate. My love for chocolate is kind of ironic because I'm highly intolerant to lactose. I get that some would ask why do you want to bathe in and smell of chocolate if you're intolerant to one of the main components of chocolate but just because my stomach can't process the sugars that naturally occur in chocolate and dairy products doesn't mean that I shouldn't be able to love chocolate nor should it stop me from smelling like a delectable snack. 

Chocolate Orange Shower Gel 

List Of Ingredients:

 Fresh Orange Infusion (Citrus aurantium dulcis), Glycerine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Cocoa Powder (Theobroma cacao), Lauryl Betaine, Perfume, Cocoa Absolute (Theobroma cacao), Brazilian Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Tangerine Oil (Citrus reticulata), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Carrageenan Extract (Chondrus crispus), Limonene. 

Who doesn't want to smell like a Chocolate Orange snack this Spring? 

Lush have created a shower gel that epitomises the chocolate and citrus combination that will make you crave something sweet to have after you've had your shower. This shower gel contains Cocoa Absolute and Vanilla Absolute to create that sublime yet sweet chocolate scent and also contains Fresh Orange Infusion, Brazilian Orange Oil and Tangerine Oil to create a scent that is truly out of this world. 

I adored this shower gel when I have been using it. If you are a fan of a thicker shower gel rather than a runnier one then this gel  is definitely for you as it's on the thicker side due to the addition of Glycerine that is known to help keep skin soft and supple. The Shower Gel lathers up into a rich yet milky lather that is truly inviting and the smell is to die for. 

Talking of the scent, it's rich, it's gourmand, it's sweet and it's everything that you want from a Chocolate Orange Shower Gel especially if you love that edible chocolate Orange that you have to whack not tap to open... For me though I think that I could do with a touch more Orange in it which sounds bizarre as there's three different types of Orange Oil running through this Gel but I think I just wanted more of that punchy orange to come through when I was showering with it. I still love it don't get me wrong but I think that little bit more Orange would make me want to buy litres of it. If you're a fan of Chocolate Orange anything or would love to see a new citrus variation on Posh Chocolate from Lush  then I think that you will love this Shower Gel. 

Lucky Bunny Shower Jelly 

List Of Ingredients: 

Glycerine, Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Carrageenan Extract (Chondrus crispus), Perfume, Vegan White Chocolate, Peppermint Oil (Mentha piperita), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Sweet Wild Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Silica, Tin Oxide, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Limonene, Colour 47005:1, Colour 77491, Colour 19140. 

We all need a bunny to help us be lucky all year long! 

This Shower Jelly is here to make your Easter full of everything that you desire including that rare day that has that iconic picnic/barbecue  ready British spring weather that lasts five minutes before it rains. 

This Shower Jelly smells amazing! The combination of Vegan White Chocolate, Vanilla, Peppermint and Orange creates a sort of sweet gourmand scent with a big and bright fresh kick to it. If you have smelt Mr.Wallet Body Spray then I think that you might like this. To me, this reminds me of a fresh take on Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. The Vegan Whote Chocolate and Pepwrmint are the main scents that come through whereas the Orange just helps to give a little bit of a fresh boost to the scent. If you love anything mint chocolate then I think that you will enjoy this quite a lot! (I know some either love or loathe Shower Jellies so let me know your thoughts on them!) 

Heavenly Bodies Buttercream 

List Of Ingredients: 

Orange Blossom Water (Citrus aurantium dulcis), Glycerine, Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil (Brassica napus;Cocos nucifera), Fresh Orange Juice (Citrus aurantium dulcis), Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Perfume, Rhassoul Mud, Water (Aqua), Cocoa Powder (Theobroma cacao), Fresh Orange Zest (Citrus aurantium dulcis), Cocoa Absolute (Theobroma cacao), Australian Sandalwood Oil (Santalum spicatum), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Brazilian Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Fresh Aloe Gel (Aloe barbadensis), Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene, Linalool.

It's time to pamper your heavenly body and give yourself some self love! 

Heavenly Bodies from Lush is a buttercream. What is a buttercream, you ask?  Well, a buttercream from lush  is a whipped shower product that resembles a whipped up buttercream that you top a beautiful cake with. The best way to use this buttercream is to massage into wet skin and rinse after spending a couple of minutes inhaling the delicious scent of Heavenly Bodies. 

This product contains Rhassoul Mud which helps to cleanse the skin of dirt and impurities, Cocoa Butter and Jojoba Oil which helps to nourish the skin and keep it feeling soft and beautiful this spring and a plethora of beautiful oils such as Cocoa, Vanilla and Sandalwood which combine to create a truly gourmand scent that has a pop of Orange to it.. I quite enjoy this product! As someone who has troublesome skin that can go from inflamed to dry very quickly, Heavenly Bodies is perfect for me. I would definitely suggest using this in conjunction with Chocolate Orange Gel or Sonic Death Monkey Shower Gel for the truly most decadent everything shower that you can think of this Easter. 

Carrot Soap 

List Of Ingredients: 

Fresh Carrot Infusion (Daucus carota sativa), Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil (Brassica napus; Cocos nucifera), Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Water (Aqua), Perfume, Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Carrot Powder (Daucus carota sativa), Cedarwood Oil (Juniperus virginiana), Tangerine Oil (Citrus reticulata), Benzoin Resinoid (Styrax tonkinensis pierre), Titanium Dioxide, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Bicarbonate, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 45350, Colour 45410:1, Colour 42090, Colour 14700.

Is it truly Easter without Carrots? I don't think so! 

This creative Carrot Soap contains Fresh Carrot Infusion and Carrot Powder to truly ensure that your skin is glowing for Spring due to the naturally occurring Vitamin C that is in Carrots! This soap also contains Tangerine Oil, Cedarwood and Benzoin Resinoid which combine to create a slightly citrusy scent that has a resinous woody undertone which evokes the feeling of watching the sunrise in the woods. I was a bit confused when this soap came just because I was expecting the original Carrots Soap which has a bunny engraved in the middle of each slice that shares the same scent as Follow The White Rabbit but now that I've been using and smelling this soap for a while, I'm not and that it was this version of the carrot soap instead. Isn't that what the kitchen boxes are all about? Finding out about new scents and scents that you may not gravitate towards when buying in store but slowly falling in love with them. If you're a fan of anything slightly woody then I think that this soap is for you! 

Perfume Behind Your Ears 

List Of Ingredients:

Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Organic Castor Oil (Ricinus communis), Organic Candelilla Wax (Euphorbia cerifera), Perfume,Limonene, Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum grandiflorum), Neroli Oil (Citrus aurantium amara), Rose Oil (Rosa damascena), Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Anise Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Cinnamate, Benzyl Salicylate, Cinnamal, Citral, Citronellol, Eugenol, Farnesol, Geraniol, Isoeugenol, Linalool, Colour 77492.

Some of us may forget that putting perfume behind your ears is a great way to help a perfume project its scent but now you won't with Perfume Behind Your Ears! 

This Solid Perfume shares the same scent as the limited edition Easter Shower Gel that is named Wash Behind Your Ears.

This perfume contains Jasmine, Neroli and Rose that combine to create a fresh yet floral scent. When I initially smelt this perfume straight out of the Kitchen Box I got a sort of strong Ginger note which I was confused but glad about as I love all things Ginger. However when I applied it and then smelt it I realised that this perfume is the epitome of Spring. The Jasmine, Neeoli and Rose blend together to create a fresh scent that reminds me of walking into a florist or walking past a garden that has multiple flowers blooming in it and having the smell of fresh flowers wafting in your face in the height of Spring. 

If you loved the Bridgerton Perfume or the new iteration of it in the form of Sweet Pea Perfume then I think that you will enjoy this Solid Perfume  that would pair beautifully with Sweet Pea.

Getting Freaky In The Shower This Spooky Season! | Lush Kitchen October Shower Box

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! 

In true Jamie style, I’ve been unwell recently and thus I forgot about the Lush Kitchen Box. I really need to set a reminder up to subscribe! I have been on the hunt for the Lush Kitchen October Box and thankfully after some hunting the wonderful staff at Lush White Rose told me that they had some of the October Lush Kitchen Shower Boxes available and kindly put one to the side of me to purchase and pick up! 

The October Kitchen Boxes were both centralised around all things freaky, dark and spooky.

Screamo Shower Gel 

Don’t answer the phone, get in the shower instead! 

Ingredients: 

Almond Milk, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerine, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl Betaine, Perfume, Benzoin Resinoid, Ylang Ylang Oil, Almond Essential Oil, Charcoal Powder, Carrageenan Extract, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Benzyl Alcohol, Coumarin, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Colour 77499. 

Some of you may know Screamo at Lush as a Bath Bomb which was heavily inspired by the Scream Film franchise and created some truly terrifying bath art. Well, for the Lush October Kitchen Box, Lush have decided to turn the iconic Bath Bomb into a spooky Shower Gel. This Shower Gel contains Almond Milk, Powdered Charcoal, Benzoin Resinoid, Ylang Ylang and Almond Essential Oil. The combination of these ingredients creates an amazing Shower Gel that to me smells like Cherry Bakewells with a slightly floral undertone due to the inclusion of Ylang Ylang. I was also pleasantly surprised by the addition of Almond Milk as it made for a quite luxurious Shower experience and made my skin feel super soft. Now obviously the Charcoal helps to give the Shower Gel its terrifying colour but at the same time helped to cleanser my skin a little. I’m not sure if I am imagining this but I noticed that my skin felt quite cleansed after using this Gel. Almost like I had scrubbed it before going in with the Shower Gel. 

If you love all things dark and spooky or if you’re a fan of scents that make you smell like a snack then you will definitely enjoy Screamo Shower Gel. 

Night Bloom Soap 

Who knows what you’ll turn into when the skies get dark… Who knows, you may turn into someone who smells gorgeous… 

Ingredients: 

Honeysuckle Infusion, Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil, Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Water, Cornstarch, Kaolin, Perfume, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Green Mandarin Oil, Rosemary Oil, Sage Oil, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Bicarbonate, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral, Limonene, Colour 17200, Colour 42090. 

Honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect with this Soap but I am glad that my expectations weren’t needed. This Soap is a blend of floral and all things herbal. The best way to describe it is the smell of walking through a slightly rain dampened field next to a graveyard at the end of October. 

The floral notes in this soap mainly come from the Honeysuckle Infusion which provide a slightly light yet peppery floral note to me which goes beautifully with the herbal notes that are on this Soap. If you are a Lushie then imagine Honeysuchle layered with Junk perfume to create a sort of dark forest like floral scent. The blackcurrant note in Junk is still quite prevalent in this Soap which I love as it brings everything together a little bit. 

Batcurrant Body Butter 

Is it really Spooky Season without a Bat or two? 

Ingredients: 

Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Macadamia Nut Oil, Laureth 4, Charcoal Powder, Pumice Powder, Perfume, Bergamot Oil, Blackcurrant Absolute, Cypress Oil, Limonene, Linalool.

I mean a beauty product shaped as a Bat from Lush, what more can you want from a Halloween themed Kitchen Box? 

Some of you may be a bit confused on what a Solid Body Butter means at Lush so let me tell you. A solid Body Butter at Lush normally is a product that you take into the shower with yourself. Apply it onto wet skin, massage and rinse to reveal super soft and supple skin that will not only look like a treat but smell like one too! 

The Charcoal and Punice Powders combine to give a soft and subtle scrub that isn’t too rough on the skin. I do prefer a coarser scrub especially during the colder months but that’s just my preference. I did quite like the softer scrub that was contained in this Body Butter  as a sort of quick scrub in the shower first thing in the morning. 

This Body Butter contains Cocoa Butter and Macadamia Nut Oil as the two main nourishing ingredeints which I think are the perfect fit for this type of product. Having a butter and oil for me ensures that you get the nourishment that your skin needs without being too greasy so when you rinse it on off you feel soft without feeling a bit like a slug in the nicest way possible? 

Blackcurrant Absolute, Beegamot Oil and Cypress Oil make up the main scent notes of this beautiful Bat. If you are a big Lushie then these ingredients may make you think of a familiar Lush product… This beautiful Bat smells of the iconic Lush scent The Comforter.  A beautifully sweet and comforting Blackcurrant scent that makes you think of all things sweet and beautiful but still has a dark undertone dying to get out.

Ectoplasm Shower Slime 

Lather up with Ectoplasm to make your skin feel like a right treat!

Ingredients: 

Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Water, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Glycerine, Cornstarch, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Bicarbonate, Xanthan Gum, Limonene, Tangerine Oil, Grapefruit Oil, Litsea Cubeba Oil, Fresh Grapefruit Juice, Fresh Tangerine Juice, Citral, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 59040. 

Who doesn’t love a Slime for Halloween? It’s spooky, creepy and just a little bit fun to play with. Now you can take a slime into the shower and live out your spooky fantasies or live out your fantasy of being at the Kids Choice Awards… The choice is yours! 

If you’re a bit confused on what a Shower Slime is,  don’t worry I’ll explain all. Imagine a sort of thicker Shower Gel that can be played with and used like a slime can. The Slimes at Lush usually come in a pot just like the Shower Jellies for ease of use. Just scoop a chunk out of the pot, apply to wet skin, Lather it up and make shower time an absolute blast before rinsing off. 

This Shower Slime contains Tangerine, Grapefruit and Litsea Cubeba Oils alongside Fresh Grapefruit Juice and Fresh Tangerine Juice which combined create a fresh citrus blast that will help you to wake up on morning and be energised for all the spooky parting that you’ll be doing! Ectoplasm Shower Slime is amazing for the Spooky season but is also good for anytime of the year as the citrus oils in this Shower Slime will help to perk you up when the day is just too dark and miserable to handle! Well that’s what I’ll be using it for during the upcoming Winter period! 

Prince Of Darkness Solid Perfume 

Who doesn’t want to smell like the Prince Of Darkness? 

Ingredients: 

Cornstarch, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide,Amyl Cinnamal, Anise Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Cinnamate, Cinnamal, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Citral, Eugenol, Geraniol, Isoeugenol, Colour 45410:2, Colour 42090:2, Colour 77491.

All Spooky Self Care routines can’t be completed without a spooky Perfume! This Kitchen Box contains a Solid Perfume. Lush have recently revamped their Solid perfumes so I thought it may be best to explain how to use their new Solid Perfumes. Pop the lid off, push the perfume up via the bottom of the Solid Perfumes tube, swipe onto the skin such as the wrists for hauntingly beautiful scented skin and then use your wrist to push the perfume back down and close the tube with the lid. 

This Solid Perfume contains Labdanum Resinoid, Lavender Oil, Patchouli Pil and Benxoin Resinoid. If you are a fan of Lush’s Fresh Face Masks and let’s be honest who isn’t then you may recognise the name and scent of this Solid Perfume via the dark and seductive Prince Of Darkness Fresh Face Masks. 

To me, the main two scents that are the forefront of this perfume are the Patchouli and Lavender whilst the Labdanum and Benzoin help to create a slightly creamy yet herbal base to the perfume.  The Lavender and Patchouli combine to create a sort of dark and mysterious herbal scent to me that does give off witch vibes which I am more than fine with. I will definitely be using this during the colder months when I want something that I know will ground me when things are getting a little bit hectic. I would also love for Lush to do more things in this scent such as a Body Lotion maybe? 

Did you manage to grab the Lish October Kitchen Box? Did you get the Shower or Bath version? What was your spooky self care routine on Halloween? Let me know! 

Thanks for reading!

Releasing My Inner Dragon To The World | Lush Lunar New Year 2024 Range First Impressions

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I thought that I’d start 2024 off with a bang and talk about the Lush Lunar New Year range. 

Inner Dragon Bath Bomb 

As 2024 is the Year of The Dragon, Lush have created an exciting bath bomb to help those who celebrate Lunar New Year create an exciting, unique and celebratory bathing experience.  The design of this bath bomb gives a nod to Chinese folklore as ‘dragons are typically seen holding a pearl in their claw or mouth, representing divinity and prosperity, and this New Year Dragon holds Lush’s Bath Bomb as a “pearl”! (Lush UK). 

List Of Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Alcohol Denat., Cornstarch, Neroli Oil, Sicilian Red Mandarin Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Orange Flower Absolute, Ginger Powder, Mandarin Powder, Titanium Dioxide, Water (Aqua), Dipropylene Glycol, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, Silica, Tin Oxide, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, *Hydroxycitronellal, *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 14700, Colour 47005, Colour 15510, Colour 77491, Colour 15985:1, Colour 19140:1, Colour 45410:1

If you have shopped at Lush before then you may know the scent of this bath bomb via the Big Shampoo or the  Big Body Spray as they all share the same  scent. To me, the Neroli, Red Mandarin & Orange Flower blend together to create a floral salty scent. The Vanilla blends them together and creates an almost violet scent which layers beautifully on top of the almost saline scent that the other ingredients bring to the product. Sadly for me, the ginger comes across more as a colourant than a scent ingredient which is a shame as I thought the Ginger would compliment the almost sea breeze scent that Big already has. 

The bath art that this bomb creates does have an air of dragon to it as it creates a sort of peachy salmon colour which does remind me a bit of the fire that a dragon breathes. I’ll definitely be using this to celebrate the Lunar New Year! Priced at £7. 

Blooming Dragon Gift Set 

Within Lush’s Lunar New Year 2024 range, Lush has released the Blooming Dragon Gift Set to get you in the mood to celebrate! This gift set contains an Inner Dragon Bath Bomb and a gift exclusive 100g bottle of Celebrate Shower Gel which contains zesty Sweet Orange & Lime Oils to help you get into the mood to have a good time! Priced at £18 

Wild Spirit Knot Wrap 

There is also the new Wild Spirit Knot Wrap which features  majestic dragons, blossoms and all things Lunar New Year which has been designed by Bao Ho. Priced at £6. 

 Will you be picking up any of the products from the Lush Lunar New Year 2024 Range? Let me know!

Golden Geese Create The Most Beautiful Eggs | Lush Easter Range 2023 First Impressions

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post. I recently went to Lush White Rose to check out the new Lush Easter Range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it.; 

Bath Bombs: 

Golden Egg Bath Bomb Melt 

Golden Eggs only come from the most beautiful Geese in the land. 

If you have been an avid Lush fan for a few years now then you may know about Golden Egg Bath Bomb Melt and for those that aren’t so much then I am here to help. This brilliant bath bomb melt contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Brazilian Orange and Bergamot Oils. The Cocoa Butter and Olive Oil help to create the melt part of the bomb which slowly melts in the bath and helps to nourish the skin whilst the Orange and Bergamot help to create wonderful honeycomb/toffee scent that has a wonderfully refreshing citrus undertone to it. 

This has been one of the bombs that I have looked forward to seeing when it appears in the Easter range. In previous years, the melt slowly melts into the water making it feel super soft whilst the bomb fizzed away into the waters and when in collaboration the Golden Egg created some amazing bath art so I am hoping for the same with this one. I absolutely love the scent that this gives off and if you are familiar with the Honey I Washed The Kids range then you will find out when you use this product that Golden Egg shares the same scent. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good glittery bomb or wants a bomb in the bath that will give them the most softest skin the world. Priced at £4.50.

 (If you try it then please don’t hesitate to let me know your thoughts on it).

Follow The White Rabbit 

This Easter, be inspired by Alice and follow the White Rabbit all the way to your bathtub! This bath bomb has become a bit of a staple when it comes to the Easter range at Lush for the past couple of years. That’s for a good reason as not only does this bomb look gorgeous but looks cute too! This bomb contains Bergamot, Buchu and Sicilian Lemon Oils which may sound like an odd mixture but it works beautifully as the mixture of ingredients creates a sort of fresh citrusy yet slightly sweet scent to me with notes of Blackcurrant in the background. If you are familiar with the Carrots scent family (which appears in another product in this range) then you may be happy to find out that Follow The White Rabbit shares the same scent. I love the vibrant colours that come spiralling out of this cute white rabbit when it is in the bath and I love that it has Popping Candy in it too. The popping candy alongside the colours and scent help to create a multi-sensory bath experience that makes you feel like you have stepped into Wonderland. I would definitely recommend this for someone who loves to be creative or for anyone who loves a good bit of colour in their life or really anyone who loves AlIce In Wonderland as I am sure that they will love this bath bomb that has been inspired by it. Priced at £4. 

Flamingo Egg 

Which came first? The Flamingo or the Egg? This bath bomb has been in the past few Easter ranges and its easy to grasp why as it looks like the perfect gift to give someone at Easter. This bath bomb contains Coarse Sea Salt, Labdanum, Resinoid, Sicilian Lemon and Vetivert Oils. To start off with, this bomb creates some beautiful bath art as it helps to turn the waters a lovely swirling mixture of pink and blue. The Labdanum, Lemon and Vetivert help to create a sort of sweet shop like scent. In my opinion, the scent of this bomb reminds me of those foam banana sweets with a touch of candy floss in the background so if you like really sweet scents then I am sure that you will love this but for me sometimes this scent can be a little too intense for me. (I know I know, that’s hard to fathom due to liking Snow Fairy and the lot but my nose is a weird one). I would recommend this to someone who is looking for a Easter egg alternative this Easter. I also think that this would make a perfect addition to a sort of Easter Hamper style gift. Priced at £5. 

Ostara 

Let’s celebrate the Spring Equinox in the tub! 

Ostara is a Pagan holiday that is focused around balance, rebirth and renewal. This bomb contains Bergamot, Lime and Violet Leaf Oil. This concoction of products help to create a sort of intense Blackcurrant scent which I absolutely adore but then again I love anything that is Blackcurrant scented. Ostara shares the same scent as What’s Up Doc? Shower Gel that was out in 2022. Furthermore, Ostara is a 2 in 1 bomb. Inside this beautiful bunny there is an egg that is waiting to be dropped into the water. You can either use Ostara as one big bomb or crack it open and use the Egg and Bunny separately. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who loves anything Blackcurrant scented or wants a cute gift that will surprise them or for someone who just wants a luxurious bath during Ostara or Easter. Ericed at £7. 

Bubble Bars: 

Baby Rainbow Carrots

You can’t have Easter without Carrots! These baby carrots are cute and come in an array of colours that correlate with the rainbow! This product contains Bergamot, Buchu and Sicilian Lemon Oils alongside Carrot Powder. I love the scent of these as they smell oh so fresh. These baby carrots share the same scent as the Follow The White Rabbit Bath Bomb and would be an amazing product to pair with to create an amazing bath. No matter what your favourite colour is, you’ll be able to find a Baby Carrot in that colour. I think that these would be amazing gift to give to someone. Grab a FTWR and a Baby Carrot or two and create a customised gift set! Priced at £3. 

Henny Penny 

Cluck, cluck! This bubble bar contains Olibanum Oil, Bergamot Oil and Acorn Powder. This product shares the same scent as the Sultana Of Soap/Blackberry family of products from Lush so if you like the soap or the old Blackberry Bomb then you will definitely love this. To me, I don’t really get Blackberry or Sultana, I get more of a Watermelon scent with a floral undertone to it so it’s not my favourite scent family personally. I do love the concept of the bubble bar and love that its shaped as a Hen. Priced at £5.50. 

Shower: 

Celebrate Body Scrub 

Lets pop that cork and celebrate the good times! This body scrub contains Ground White Rice, Sweet Wild Orange and Lime Oils. This scrub is a foaming scrub which I quite like. The foaming action creates a subtle yet super nourishing lather which my dry skin adores. The rice adds a soft scrub which I adore as it means that I can control how hard I want to scrub compared to more gritty scrubs which take that away from me. The scent is amazing. If you love the Celebrate scent from Lush then you will love this as it shares the same scent. To me, this scrub and the scent just evokes Summer to me. A light scrub that you would use before going to the beach with the addition of a scent which sums up cocktails. Just amazing. I’d definitely recommend trying this out if you can. Priced at £14 for 240g.

Gummy Bear Shower Jelly 

Another favourite that is back for another year! This Shower Jelly contains Coconut Milk, Fresh Mango Juice, Buchu, Cardamom, Litsea Cubeba and Sweet Wild Orange Oils.  I love this scent. It reminds me of a Mango Lassi or a can of Rubicon Mango. I love how the Coconut Milk ensures that the skin is hydrated and just adds a fragrance note to the background of this product that makes you wonder what it is. Furthermore, I also love the shape of this Jelly. I mean who doesn’t love a good Bear? Definitely worth getting if you like tropical scents or want to give a cute gift to someone. Priced at £6. 

Golden Egg Shower Gel 

Why not have a Golden Shower this Easter? This Shower Gel contains Fine Sea Salt, Lactic Acid, Bergamot Oil and Brazilian Orange Oil. This indeed shares the same scent as Golden Egg Bath Bomb Melt. To me, this smells like rich and delicious toffee with a touch of citrus in the background that kind of helps the toffee be more sweet? This is the same scent as Honey I Washed The Kids and yes there is a Shower Gel with that name and scent but Golden Egg is completely Vegan where as HIWTK Shower Gel isn’t. In my opinion, HIWTK Shower Gel kind of smells of burnt honey with a vert floral undertone. I actually found a bottle of It’s Raining Men which was the first iteration of this gel and Golden Egg smells a bit more like that to me. I also love this gel because well I’m a child and its shiny and full of glitter! My friend Michelle also says that she associates this scent with me because I have loved it since we first met years ago. Go in, give both of the gels a sniff and let me know what you think. Do you prefer HIWTK or Golden Egg Shower Gel? Let me know. Priced at £7 for a 125g bottle. 

Soap: 

Rainbows & Waterfalls 

Thiis soap is a brand new soap for 2023. This soap contains Marshmallow Root Infusion, Watermelon Juice, Bergamot Oil and Rose Oil. To me, this isn’t my favourite soap. I like a touch of Watermelon when it comes to scents but I’m not the biggest fan of that very strong Watermelon scent that some may know mainly through it being a flavour of a well known American Candy. I’m surprised that Watermelon takes the main focus here especially as this soap contains Rose and normally Rose has a tendency of dominating sometimes. If you love Watermelon scents then you will love this soap. Luke kept asking if we were near the soap and when I said no he was confused as he could smell it quite strongly which is saying something. This product also shares the same scent as Watermelon Sugar Lip Scrub so I would recommend pairing the two together for a little bundle of joy for someone. Priced at £6. 

Rock Star Rabbit 

If only Chaz and Dave were rockstars. This soap contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Organic Castor Oil and Vanilla Absolute. If you remember the old Rockstar Soap from Lush then you will love this soap as it has been reimagined as this rocking rabbit for 2023. The scent reminds me of candy floss and sugar. I guess if you took Snow Fairy and added a little bit of creaminess then you would end up with the scent of this product. To me, its nice but like Rainbows and Waterfalls its quite strong so I can see some people not enjoying this as much but I kind of love it as the Vanilla adds that sort of scent that you have to search for in the soap. If you love sweet scents then this soap is definitely worth checking out. Priced at £5. 

FUN: 

Let There Be Dragons 

Dragons and FUN? Sounds like a perfect product to me. This product is a first for Easter as Lush haven’t released limited FUNs for an Easter range before. This FUN contains Sicilian Lemon Oil, Bergamot Oil and Jasmine Absolute. If you’re not sure what FUN is then think of it as a multipurpose bathing product. You can pinch bits off and mould them into cute characters (I mean why not pinch some off and create a Dragon), use it as shampoo, soap or as a bubble bar. This FUN shares the same scent as Dragons Egg Bath Bomb. I love this scent its so fresh and uplifting due to the mixture of Lemon and Bergamot whilst the Jasmine is in the background just ensuring that the two citrus oils do their best within this scent. I think that this would be amazing bar to use when its a bit warm and Summer is in full spring. If you love citrus scents or like to create an experience like never before in the bath then I would definitely recommend checking Let There Be Dragons out. Priced at £9.50. 

I Believe In Unicorns 

Do you believe in Unicorns? This FUN contains Bergamot, Davana and Ylang Ylang Oils and Jasmine Absolute. This FUN shares the same scent as the Unicorn Poop Bath Bomb. I wasn’t sure how I felt about this scent when I read about it on the website but when I smelt it in store, I actually really enjoyed it. The Davana and Bergamot have joined together to create a quite fruity scent whilst the Jasmine and Ylang Ylang play alongside them to add a sort of unique delicate floral note to the product. If you love anything that has a floral kick to it then I think you will really enjoy this FUN. Priced at £9.50.

Lips:

Lush Lip Butter 

We all need to keep our lips soft and supple even in the Spring. This product contains Fair Trade Organic Shea Butter, Fenugreek Absolute Brazilian Orange and Tagetes Oils, Vanilla and Sesame Seed Absolutes and Carob Resinoid. I love anything that is going to help the lips. The scent of this reminds me of a sort of deep maple scent which is probably from the Carob Resinoid The Vanilla also adds to this. If you like scents that are food orientated then you will love this. I have started to just put this into my bag to use whilst I’m on the go and I absolutely love it. If you are in need of some nourishment to the lips then I’d definitely recommend checking this out. Priced at £5.

Lush Mothers Day 2023 First Impressions

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! Recently I popped into Lush White Rose with Luke and noticed the new Mothers Day range was out so I thought that today I would talk to you all about the Mothers Day 2023 range from Lush. 

Bath Bombs: 

Atom Heart Mother 

This is truly the bomb to any Mum’s Heart. This bomb was featured in the 2022 range and is back, back, back again! This bomb contains Bergamot, Brazilian Orange and Neroli Oils and Orange Flower and Rose Absolutes. This may seem like an odd concoction of ingredients but together these ingredients create a beautifully crisp and fresh Apple scent. If you have been shopping at Lush for a while then you may know this scent through the So White or Once Upon A Time family of products. I love this product. To me, the scent of just simply Apples reminds me of Spring for some reason so this product coming out at this time of year is perfect for me. I do realise that to some, this may be a simple scent but it is just lovely. Priced at £5. 

Jasmine 

The Jasmine flowers are blooming all around us! This product again has been out in previous years. This product contains Jasmine Absolute and Ylang Ylang Oil. This may seem like a simple bath bomb from the ingredients alone but this bath bomb has a bit of a complex fragrance. With both Jasmine and Ylang Ylang, you would ecpect it to smell generically floral but for me that’s not the case. To me, this bomb smells light and floral but with a creamy undertone which is rare to find when it comes to floral scents normally. The creaminess helps to bring out the floral notes but also give it a sort of slight dessert element to it. I guess in a way you could say it was like a pudding that has been mixed with flowers picked from a garden. Talking about creaminess, this bomb also has a creamy element in the bath and makes the skin feel super soft. Definitely one that you could gift to someone who needs a good pamper. Priced at £4.50. 

Tea Party 

Every day is a perfect day for a tea party! A new bomb for 2023. This bath bomb has been inspired by an afternoon tea fit for the perfect mother. This bomb contains Popping Candy, Sweet Wild Orange and Lime Oils. This bomb smells amazing. Some of you may know this scent from the Celebrate//Golden Wonder/Golden Pudding/Bubbly products that have been out at Lush in previous years. To me, this smells like a fresh and zingy cocktail and would be amazing to use when you’re having a bad day or first thing in the morning. The Popping Candy in this bomb is amazing and you can hear it for a while. (If you want to hear the Popping Candy then go over to my Instagram or TikTok to hear it). This bomb would be a perfect gift to give to anyone who loves a good cup of tea or glitter! Priced at £4.50. 

Time To Relax 

Oh look, bath bombs are on the mind. It must be time to relax! This bomb contains Epsom Salts, Coconut Milk Powder, Lavender, Chamomile Blue and Neroli Oils and Lavender Absolute. To me, this bomb has a very much pure Lavender scent to it compared to say Twilight from Lush which is more a sort of a malty Lavender scent. 

This bomb is a 3 in 1 like UFO or Snow Fairy Lights. The top can be used as its own singular bath bomb, the larger part of this bomb can be used as a singular bomb and the interior of the larger part of the bomb can be sprinkled into the water and used on its own or if you’re feeling in need of a truly relaxing time, you can whack the whole bomb in and watch as the colours and salts explode into the water.  This bomb is very moisturising to the skin due to the Coconut Milk Powder and does give off very Spa vibes which I mean everyone could do with a bit more of a Spa vibe the way this year is going.  I think that this is a perfect bomb to give as a gift but I think that I prefer the Deep Sleep Salt Cube Bomb just as I don’t know how Time To Relax would do in regards to travelling back on public transport and such. This bomb would perfect for someone who is forever on their feet. Priced at £8.50. 

Bubble Bars: 

Avo Cuddle 

Everyone deserves a cuddle! This bubble bar contains Lemongrass and Bergamot Oils to create an uplifting scent. This bubble bar has the same scent as the very well known and loved Avobath Bath Bomb from Lush. This bubble bar looks cute and smells amazing. I absolutely love the Avobath scent as it just perks my day up from its zingy scent and makes me feel amazing when I use it. My only problem is that I wish that this was a Bubbleroon with some luxurious Avocado Butter or something just to ensure that its as nourishing as Avobath is. All in all though its an amazing product with a scent that will spring you into wishing that it was Summer already. I’d definitely recommend this as a gift for someone who loves citrus scents and is longing for a invigorating soak for a while. Priced at £6. 

FUN: 

Relax And Have Some Fun

We all need to relax and have some fun! This product contains Lavender and Ylang Ylang Oils, Benzoin Resinoid and Tonka Absolute. This mixture of ingredients creates a creamy and sweet Lavender based scent. If you have never used FUN, imagine a multipurpose product that is like playdoh but for the bath or shower! You can create little characters or just pinch some off. FUN can be used as shampoo, soap or as a bubble bar. I know some people that even use to shave themselves with due to the amount of Glycerine that is in a packet of FUN. I have to be in a s specific mood to enjoy this scent (when I am I do like to go full on with the scent).  I do love the concept of FUN and if you are a die hard fan of Sleepy or Twilight from Lush then this will definitely be for you. I would also definitely recommend this for someone who loves to create things. Priced at £9.50. 

Shower: 

Mimosa 

Who doesnt love a Mimosa first thing in the morning? Whether it be served in a glass or in the shower. This gel contains Elderflower Absolute, Fresh Orange Juice, Wine Lees and Sweet Wild Orange Oils, Mimosa and Carnation Absolutes. To me, this smells more on the floral side than Orange but that’s just my nose. I guess its more of a Gin and Elderflower Tonic with a touch of Orange Juice inspired gel than a ‘Mimosa’ inspired gel but that is just me. I do think that this is a great shower gel to use first thing in the morning to wake yourself up and would be a great gift for those who have trouble getting up or want something that’s unique. Priced at £8 for a 120g bottle. 

Soap 

Balanites 

This soap contains Balanites Oil, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Aquafaba, Lavender, Chamomile Blue and Tea Tree Oils, Rose Absolute and Silken Tofu. To begin with, this soap creates a nourishing lather and is very moisturising to the skin due to the Oils and Silken Tofu which help to moisturise the skin. To me, this has a very light yet floral scent and would go along amazingly with Time To Relax to create a Spa inspired gift set. For me, its not my favourite scent but I do think that its an amazing soap to have in the bathroom and would be amazing for anyone who has dry or sensitive skin. Priced at £6. 

Buzzy Mum 

When Buzzy Mums are busy, they need a minute to moisturise and meditate. This soap contains Camellia Sativa Seed Infusion, Camellia Sativa Seed Oil, Mimosa and Carnation Absolutes, Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Peach Powder and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. To me, this smells very floral with a fruity backnote to it. I guess it is similar to Mimosa but this has a sort of more grounded floral scent to it whereas Mimosa has a sort of fizzy note to it due to the Wine Lees Oil. I do love this soap just from the shade of it and I think that this would be amazing for someone who likes a good soap to be on display in the bathroom. For me, I already have a lot of soaps but I do think that this soap does have a good scent to it. Priced at £6. 

Proper Soap 

A proper soap is meant for someone who needs a proper time to wind down. This soap contains Rose Water, Jasmine, Lavender, Rose and Vanilla Absolutes and Neroli and Ylang Ylang Oils. This soap does contain a lot of ingredients but it smells divine. The Vanilla comes through quite a bit and gives this soap a sort of Creme Brûlée scent to it which I know sounds weird but it works well with the florals that are in this soap. For me, this is my favourite soap out of the three and would pair well with products such as Butterball or Rose Jam to create a bespoke gift set. Priced at £6. 

Eyes: 

Ol’ Blue Skies Are Back Eye Pads 

When Spring comes back so do those good ol’ blue skies! These eye pads contain German Chamomile and Butterfly Pea Flower Infusion, Glycerine, Fresh Aloe Gel and Carrageenan Extract alongside some other goodies. To me, these have a fresh and light scent to them whilst the Glycerine, Aloe and Carrageenan help to nourish and soothe the eye area which we all need. I have a visual impairment and get irritated eyes sometimes so these are amazing for when those times kick in. I do wish that with the name of this product that these eye pads were scented in the Blue Skies and Fluffy Clouds scent but that’s just me. These would be great to add to a hamper or gift set for those who spend all day soaking up screen time due to their job. Priced at £3.50. 

Hands: 

Super Duper Hand Cream 

Even on the most troubling of days, you are still super duper! This hand cream contains Orange Blossom Infusion, Orange Blossom Flower Water, Almond Milk, Bergamot, Neroli, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang and Tea Seed Oils, Fresh Aloe Gel and Orange Flower Absolute. To me, this has a light floral scent to it with a bubbly citrus backnote. I think that I would prefer it the other way around personally but I do get the point of light scented hand care as it means that it doesnt clash with the fragrance that you are wearing and if you are applying it multiple times a day then it won’t build up and irritate the nose. The texture of the product itself is light due to the Almond Milk and Aloe Gel but at the same time is super moisturising due to the same ingredients. I think that this is a perfect hand care item to give to anyone including yourself that is on the go quite a lot. Priced at £10. 

All in all, an amazing mixture of products for Mothers Day.
