Living My Lush Life At The Mothership | Lush Liverpool Spa

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post!

I thought that today I would talk to you all about the time that I went to Lush Liverpool Spa.

To give you some context, Lush Liverpool Spa, is a special store as, it is the largest Lush store within the world. You read that right. This store has three floors filled with beautiful exclusive products that you can only get at Lush Liverpool Spa, a cafe, a florist, a spa, a perfume library, and much much more.

Whilst walking down from the train station at Liverpool Lime Street, we walked past a few beautiful buildings. As it was a pretty warm day, we stopped every so often, not only to get some photos of the buildings but to stop as Luke swishing his cane in the heat can be exhausting. We strolled whilst using Google Maps, and, after going in every different direction, we finally found the grand building. (You can't miss it, but if you're ever in Liverpool then it's next door to Primark.)

We walked into the building, and instantly strolled around the first floor for many reasons. Some were to get our bearings in a new place, and some were to see what was sold on the ground floor of the Lush store. We wandered around some of the face care, including solid and liquid versions of favourites such as Dream Cream, and, Charity Pot, and new items such as, Ultraplant.

After this, coffee scents permeated the air. We must be at the Cafe! We had a little bit of a look and then decided to carry on to the Perfume Library. The Library contains white, black and gold perfumes. It also contains all the solid perfumes that you can think of, and a few oils. If you're wondering what the difference between the White, Black and Gold fragrances are, then let me explain. The White Label fragrances are the ones that you can find at your local store, such as Sun, Karma, Dirty All Good Things, and many more. Black are the more upmarket ones that are at bigger stores, such as Manchester Arndale, such as, Princess Cottongrass, Staying Alive and many more. Gold Fragrances are ones that you can only get at Lush Liverpool Spa which include V, Metamorphosis and Death And Decay.

Myself and Luke first went around the White and Black fragrances. spraying and sniffing each and every one possible. I spritzed a bit of Sun as it was absolutely boiling outside. Luke spritzed Kerbside Violet as he loves Violet scents. We then checked the Oils which included, Inhale, Exhale and Goddess. I'm not the biggest fan of Goddess, as it's one of those scents that I have to be in the mood for, but I quite liked the oil. I then sat Luke on a chair whilst I perused the Gold Fragrances. Lil told us about how the Ginger fragrance that was a part of the Black Range was the first fragrance that Lush/Cosmetic To Go/Gorilla ever released. We spritzed. sniffed, oohed and ahhed. Luke loved V due to it being a 'more sophisticated verson of Kerbside Violet, and, Lord Of Goathorn as it 'had a deep Blackberry undertone'. I also sniffed, Metamorphosis as I remember that the bath bomb of it had a gorgeous Cinnamon scent, Death and Decay, Cocktail as a couple of friends wanted to know if they were still sold, and Assassin which was a very complex/layered scent.

Time to go to the next floor! This is where the main event is for most as it's filled with all things, bath, shower, oral, party and much much more. We started at the Shower Bombs, as they were straight in front of the lift. There were a few new Shower Bombs, including Tantric Energy (please go read the online description of that Shower Bomb), and, two Shower Bombs inspired by The Matrix, Red and Blue Pill. (If you never have used a Shower bomb, then imagine a Bath Bomb for the Shower. You just cup them in your hands, put under running water and then use the foam as Shower Gel.)

After this, we wandered over to the Bath Oils. At Lush Liverpool Spa, the Bath Oils have been reformulated to give off more of a scent and to take less time to melt. As well as reformulating some of your favourite Bath Oils, such as, MMMelting Marshmallow Moment, Dreamtime and Polyamorous. There are a fair new Bath Oils too, including Saviour, Imp-atient, and 'Cream which is based off the Horror Movie franchise Scream.

After this, we took a quick trip up to the Spa with Rhiannon, who showed us around the beautiful spa and informed us about some of the new Bath Oils from the section that we had looked around before. We were told that sadly, all of the treatment rooms were filled up so we couldn't check them out, but we had a wander around the waiting area, checked out the wonderful decor and sniffed some of the oils that are used in treatments that were on display. There was also a massive bathroom with a bath, shower and toilet. it was massive and we could legit both sit down on it and just enjoy some quiet me time.

We wandered back down to the second floor and went straight to the Shower Jellies. Rhiannon told us about some of the Community Favourites Shower Jellies that were at Lush Liverpool Spa for a limited time including, 29 High Street, Golden Pear, Plum Rain and Yog Nog. We sniffed a couple, but also decided to miss a couple, as we had already smelt the others at Lush Leeds Spa. Lush Liverpool Spa, have six new Shower Jellies, Twilight which shares it's fragrance with the Twilight/Sleepy range, Beats, Gong, Rumba Conga, Bongo. These share their names with musical sounds. They also had the all store range of Shower Jellies which include Deep Sleep and Whoosh, which we had a good sniff of. Rhiannon came over to give us a little bit more info on the Shower Jellies that were exclusive to Lush Liverpool Spa.

Party time! We then wandered over to the Party section! The Party Section is a new section for Lush Liverpool Spa. You can book a party at any Lush store, but at Lush Liverpool Spa, there is a full section for the party goers to enjoy their experience within. The section was empty so we decided to have a bit of a look around. There is a full FUN wall and a table of FUN to sniff and create models out of. As we weren't fully sure where all of the FUN that we wanted were, we had a member of staff go and collect them for us (I didn't't catch your name, but thank you!) Rhiannon then came over, and told us about the musical shower jellies, and the wheel of FUN. There are different sized and scented Shower Jellies which make different noises. There is also an aid/function to ensure that Hard Of Hearing/Deaf citizens so that they don't miss out on the fun. There are also exclusive products that you can get when having a party, including Cilla The Caterpillar that smells of Vanillary, Calm A Llama Party PiƱata, Numbers, and, Crash Shower Jelly which smells of Golden Wonder/Bubbly. (A scent consisting of Lime and Cognac which smells amazing! I tried to get some on the online release of the shower jelly but it should out too quickly!)

After having a good party, we meandered over to the Oral section. If you don't know, Lush do solid Toothpaste and Mouthwash in the form of Toothy Tabs and Mouthwash Tabs. Rhiannon came over to talk to us about using them and the new flavours. There were a fair few Toothy Tabs, but I mainly tried the Bubblegum Toothy Tabs. That was definitely an experience for me. If you like Snow Fairy, then I'd urge you to try it. I didn't really enjoy it. I then tried the Mouthwash Tabs after. We tried most of them, with Rhiannon's help. I ended up enjoying a couple including the Cuba Libre one!

Bath bomb time! Lush Liverpool Spa contains all of the new 30th Anniversary/Harajuku and normal bath bombs that are at all Lush stores all year long. An extra fun thing about the bath section at Lush Liverpool Spa is that there is a conveyor belt filled with bath bombs. (Imagine Yo! Sushi but in Bath Bomb form!) We tried to find many bath bombs that we wanted but in the end, are ended up asking the lovely Libby to find rhem for us. We got chatting about some of the retro items and some of both of our new favourite products. (if you want to find out what I got at the store then keep on the look out for my haul blog post.)

We then decided to chat some more and made our way downstairs towards the hair section. I went straight to the Shampoo's to find the new Wasabi Shampoo. After this, we found our way to the liquid Conditioners as Luke wanted to find Agas. Following on, we worked our way through all of the Hair Styling products including the Goddess Hair Treatment/Dressing, Hair Custard, and, Hairdressers Husband Hairspray.

 Next on our adventure was the Fresh section. The Fresh section is where things that are made within the store are sold. This mainly includes Face Cleansers, Face Pops and Face Washes. The Fresh Face Cleansers are made to look like Sushi Rolls, the washes are jelly based and set in fresh fruit peel to cut down on food waste and the Face Pops are Face Masks on sticks that last 72 hours. We scoured around and then made our way to our last stop.

Final stop. We made our way back round to the Perfume Library to smell the Body Sprays. The lovely Lil told us both about the Community Favourite Body Sprays which included Golden Pear and Avocado Co-Wash. After sniffing, uhmming and ahhing, the wonderful Lil decided to gift me a Golden Pear Body Spray as a random act of kindness, which I can't thank her enough for.

After chatting some more, we decided that it was time to go and time for food. We made our way to the till, chatted some more with the wonderful Libby and made our way to the door to go get some food. All that shopping had definitely made me hungry.

It's Getting Stormy Up In Here | VOLATILITY Storm Chasing

Hey everyone!

How's everything going? Let me know down below! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I thought that I would talk to you all about VOLATILITY Storm Chasing. What is VOLATILITY Storm Chasing? Carry on reading to find out!



Storm chasing, is well, chasing storms that can consist of any weather condition, from hail to extreme tornadoes, and, everything in between. Many storm chasers tend to create montages and compilations of videos to show off their love of storm chasing. This is mainly due to storm chasing being a dangerous hobby to enjoy and participate within. VOLATILITY Storm Chasing are here to completely shake storm chasing and the viewing of this sport up. They are here to change it for the better, via, a beautifully filmed and edited series of fun, adventures, and challenges on all terrain trip. There will be, thunderstorms, an abundance of hail, and much more. Will they get to capture the all mighty storm that they are chasing? You'll have to watch the series to find out.

In an interview with Ben Pickering (one of the amazing people that participated in creating VOLATILITY Storm Chasing) he estimates that he has spent an average of 20 hours, at least, each week editing since late August 2018, working out at a frankly unbelievable 560 hours on just the first episode! An incredible achievement considering he has to juggle with his day-job of studying for a PhD, editing whenever he can in the evenings and weekends.

We ran two Garmin Virb 360˚ cameras during the chases, which are renowned for their quality in the early 360˚ market. They also record a host of metadata such as barometric pressure, compass, gyroscope, heart rate, GPS and more which have enabled some of the unique shots and graphics seen in the series. Additional footage comes from DSLR time lapses and post-chasing interviews. Studio recording started last summer (and is still ongoing for the later episodes), and is captured using a Panasonic GH4 in a DIY studio location. Perhaps the best feature of shooting in 360˚ is the ability to edit the angle later (particularly for in-car conversations) with an infinite number of possibilities. Ben states that “this is one of the features which gives VOLATILITY Storm Chasing such a unique and engaging style”.

Even if you have never viewed Storm Chasing footage before, but love adventure based videos, even if its just stuff like vlogs/seeing what people get up to, then I'd suggest watching VOLATILITY. You can catch it on YouTube. If you want a little preview of the series, then, watch the trailer at the top of this post.

I hope that you've enjoyed this blog post. Come back soon for a in-depth review of their first episode!

Thanks for reading!

Roll Up! Roll Up! | Trinity Kitchen Supper Club

Hey everyone! 

How are you? 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! Today, I thought that I would talk to you all about when I was invited to the Trinity Kitchen Supper Club. I was going to do it a couple of weeks ago, but I've been busy with Lush Showcase, Uni, and having a really bad cold. If you love food, then keep reading!

If you haven't read any of my posts about Trinity Kitchen, then, Trinity Kitchen is a open plan food court in the heart of Leeds city centre, that offers a plethora of food from different cuisines and countries, such as Vietnam, America, Mexico, and many more. Trinity Kitchen also offers the citizens of Leeds, brand new food vendors on an eight week rota, which ensures that they get to enjoy a selection of different food vendors throughout the year.

Drama Bites 

Drama Bites is offering a 100% vegan Punjabi menu with a colourful explosion of Indian food and an amazing authentic taste, including veggie samosas, Aloo Tikki and gluten-free pakoras.

I decided to try their Pakora Box, because I absolutely adore pakoras no matter what. The Pakora Box came with some Mango Chutney, and Vegan Yoghurt Mint Sauce. The Pakoras were lovely and crunchy on the outside and, fluffy but still warm on the inside. They were wonderful spiced. Sometimes with Indian food, it can be a bit spicy for my palette, but these morsels were warming but still flavourful. The Mango Chutney was sweet but still tangy. Sometimes, chutney's can be a bit too sweet, but, you could tell that there was a bit of sourness which went well with the dish. The Vegan Yoghurt-Mint Sauce, was honestly the best thing I've tried ever when it comes to sauces. I couldn't believe that it was Vegan, which meant that my stomach could be calm and still get that cooling, refreshing kick from a Yoghurt based sauce/dip. I could honestly have that on everything!

Let's Go Wild Boar

Let’s Go Wild Boar will be serving up something tasty for meat eaters with dishes including pulled pork boar burgers and succulent boar sandwiches with all your favourite toppings.

I decided to opt for a Cheese Boar Burger. The vendor had many options including, Pulled Boar Burger, and A Blue (Cheese) Boar Burger, but I decided to go for a classic one. The Bun was soft and pillowy, the cheese was melted and oozy. and the burger, well... The burger was meaty, but not fatty, and well seasoned. I love it when a burger is well seasoned, because it just makes everything else pop. I wolfed this down, and I would wolf down ten more like a beast if I could!

Tikk's Thai Kitchen 

Award-winning Tikk’s Thai Kitchen is also returning following popular demand. Showcasing Southern Thai street food at its best, the Yorkshire-based vendor will be featuring its famous dishes including crispy prawns, chicken satay skewers and beef massaman curry, with a crisp Singha beer to wash it down.

I have actually tried Tikk's Thai Kitchen before, and I loved it, so I got them again. I decided to go for some Sriracha Mayo Fries. They were the best fries I have ever had. The fries themselves, were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The Sriracha Mayo meant that they were spicy but addictive, as they didn't blow your entire head off. The Spring Onions that were decorated on top of the dish, ensured that with every bite you got a mixture of textures with the sauce and fries themselves. I loved these, and they are amazing for when the weather drops and you feel a bit cold!

Thai Khrim

Thai Khrim is also back by popular demand with fresh, hand-crafted Thai ice-cream served with a mountain of toppings, all handcrafted before your eyes. Its ice cream tacos and freshly made waffles are ones not to miss.

I love ice cream. My stomach may not, but I do, so when I got to order something from Thai Khrim, I was spoilt for choice! I decided to go for Nutella & Peanut Butter! Thai Khrim, are well known for creating works of art via their ice cream tacos, and, rolls. Therefore, I watched the creator swirl the mixture and then create delicious rapturing rolls out of ice cream! He asked if I wanted any toppings, and well, because I think you should go big or go home, I went big! I decided to go for Whipped Cream, Sprinkles, Marshmallows, Oreos, more Nutella, and, Chocolate Sauce! I would recommend trying one, even if it's just to see the craft that goes into making one!

New Exclusive Products, Christmas Products & More! | Lush Showcase 2018 Haul

Hey everyone!

How are you?

Welcome to a brand new post! If you have read my post about going to Manchester and the Lush Showcase, then you will know that I bought a fair few products. I know that you all love a good haul, therefore, I thought that it would be a good idea to tell you all what I bought.

Exclusives

Like A Virgin Face Cleanser 

Sadly with the exclusives, there were no list of ingredients, but the face cleansers have been added to the Lush Labs collection which is a godsend for me. This is a very luxurious and moisturising product. It contains Organic Extra Virgin Olive and Jojoba Oils, Sunflower, Candelilla, and, Mimosa Wax, and Lemon Myrtle and Sicilian Lemon Oils to awaken the skin and to ensure that the product smells of bright and zingy Lemons

Goldfinger Brush Strokes (Fresh Face Mask)

Brush Strokes are a new type of mask that was showcased at the event. The whole concept of them, is that you keep them in the fridge, and then you apply them with a face mask brush to ensure that you get an even coverage. The products were all named after metals such as, Bronze, Silver etc. I bought Goldfinger, which as you could guess is bright gold. The name is inspired by the illustrious and suave James Bond. The only way to get hold of the label and see what it says. From what I gathered, it contains Rose Wate, which will help to refresh and tone your face and Coconut Nectar. It is also made up of a mix of Talc and Cornstarch, which gives it a quite thick texture. The best way to compare it, would be with Rosy Cheeks from the stores.

Minamisoma Regeneration Shower Bar

Minamisoma is inspired by Fukushima in Japan, with the well known disasters including the nuclear disaster, and the Japanese tsunami that happen some years ago. This also plays into part, as Lush are releasing a new store which contains at least over 70 new products. Sadly, I can't tell what ingredients are in this product but it smells a bit like the sort of Lemon and White Chocolate scent in Honey Trap/Sympathy For The Skin. It's a Naked Shower Conditioner, so you glide it over wet skin to create a silky lather and then rub it in and wash off to leave your skin soft.

#LushLabs Goody Bag

Well I got the goodie bag itself, which is a blue tie-dye colour with #LushLabs in big bold white font with a brown tag which says, 'We were all born naked, and the rest is swag, with a black LUSH logo at the bottom.

I also received some wonderful Lush themed stickers in various bright colours. I also received a iron on patch which is bright yellow with a white tub with bright blue water which says GONE BATHING underneath it.

A brown rectangular tag with we were all born naked and the rest is swag in black small font with LUSH in black font at the bottom on the top of a rectangular light blue tote on a white background

I also was gifted Ticket To Scrub. Ticket To Scrub, is a body scrub that can be used in the shower or the bath,. It is a naked scrub which means that it comes in a full bar, and not a big black pot. This product contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Extra Virgin Plum Oil, Osmanthus and Petitgrain Oils. If you like Plum Rain, then you would love this product. I shove it in the fridge before using it, mainly, as there is a lot of oils which means that it melts easily when in contact with warm skin.

Christmas

Bath Bombs: 

Shoot For The Stars

SFTS has been out for many years, and is probably on my blog in a fiar few posts. Shoot For The Stars contains Orange and Bergamot Oils which weirdly give the bomb a toffee-like scent. It also contains gold glitter covered Cocoa Butter stars. If you love Honey I Washed The Kids/It's Raining Men, then you will love this one!

Golden Wonder 

Again, Golden Wonder has definitely made a fair few appearances on my blog. It was also within one of my first Lush Christmas haul posts. This bomb looks like a big golden present, which has a bold shade of blue in the middle of it. It contains gold edible stars in the muddle, which makes the bomb rattle when you purchase it. It contains Lime and Cognac Oils, which give the scent a deep citrus scent. If you love Bucks Fizz, or Bubbly, then you will love this one!

Luxury Lush Pud 

Luxury Lush Pud has been a regular at Lush within the Christmas period for many years, but this year, it has changed! It contains circles of different colours which explode in the bath, but it used to smell of Sleepy/Twilight. Now, it smells of Scrub, Scrub, Scrub/The Comforter Oil from the Comforter Spa Treatment. To make this scent, the product contains, Bergamot and Cypress Oils, and Cassis Absolute. It also contains a Candy Holly Leaf on top! If you like the Comforter Bubble Bar then give this one a try!

The Worlds Smallest Disco 

TWSD is a new product for this years Christmas Range. The bomb itself is black, but it has spots of colour all over it. The black is made out of a different mixture than the colours, therefore the black is a fast fizzer, and then the spots of colour are a slow fizzer so they'll appear in time. It contains Lime, Cognac, and, Grapeftuit Oils, which give it an uplifting scent with a little something extra. It also contains Popping Candy to give your bath a bit of a dancing tune, and Charcoal, which makes the bath black. If you like Secret Arts Jelly Bomb for it's colour, or Metamorphosis when it was out, then definitely give this one a whirl for the colour alone!

Holey Night

O, Holey Night, the stars are brightly shining! This one does contain holes, so if you have a fear of them (the picture of the bomb will be below this, so if you get triggered from it, please read the last word then scroll past the photo as quick as you can). Holey Night also contains, Soya Milk Powder which will melt with the water, and make your skin silky soft. Sicilian Lemon, Rose, and Sandalwood Oils to give a slightly clean but deep scent. If you like products like Ickle Baby Bot, or, Once Upon A Time, then you might like this.

Perle De Sel

Perle De Sel - pearl of the sea, is a new bath bomb that exudes elegance. It contains Coarse Sea Salt and African Sea Grains to show that it contains salt, and scrubs skin in the bath. It also contains Cassie Absolute, Rose Absolute, and, Nenzoin Resionoid (a synthetic musk. If you like Saucy Snowcake, or, Snow Angel then you will want to try this.

Santa Bomb Bomb

Santa Bomb Bomb is two bath bombs, one is the head and one is the body. Me and Luke bought one, and as it is two bath bombs, me and Luke decided to share it. This bomb contains Cocoa and Vanilla Absolute's. If you like character bombs such as the Chick & Mix then you will want to try this.

Snow Fairy Jelly Bomb

Everyone knows Snow Fairy! Snow Fairy is that pink scented fragrance that comes around every Christmas. It smells of Pear Drops, and comes in many forms. I decided to get the Jelly Bomb because it's a bit muted due to the Carrageenan which makes up the jelly. I can't wait to use this when I want something sweet. If you like Creamy Candy or Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment, then you will love this!

Cheery Christmas

I got to make this one at the Showcase! Cheery Christmas is definitely one to perk you up! This one has a glittery white snowflake embedded into the top of it and smells of Pink Lemonade! It contains Sicilian Lemon and Buchu Oils, which will definitely perk you up and make you feel cheery and ready for the Winter season!

Bubble Bars & Bath Melts

Candy Mountain Yule Log

Candy Mountain, Charlie, Candy Mountain! Candy Mountain, the bubble bar sister to Snow Fairy is back for this Christmas period. Honestly, I'm not sure why its a 'Yule Log' this year, unless it means the sort of flatter/more compact design that it is this year. This contains the same Pear Drop scent that Snow Fairy possesses, and the same bright Pink colour too! If you like the Snow Fairy range, then you will want to try this!

Yog Nog Yule Log

Do you love creamy sweet scents? Do you like Caramel? If so, then you will love Yog Nog. Both Candy Mountain, and, Yog Nog, contain Fair Trade Cocoa and Shea Butters which must be the Yule Log part. This product contains Clove Bud Oil, Cinnamon Powder, Nutmeg Powder, Soya Milk Powder, and, Soya Yoghurt which will make your skin feel spicy and sweet, and will make it soft and luxurious, in the bath and on your skin. If you like Sea Salted Caramel Soap, then give this a try!

Plum Pudding Bath Melt

Who loves a good bit of Plum Pudding? This new bath melt contains Fair Trade Cocoa Butter to help it melt into the water to make sure your skin is luxurious. It also contains Whole Oats, Dried Apricots, and Almond Oil. The Oats help to scrub dead skin. It also contains Osmanthus and Petitgrain Oils, which give the melt a deep Plum scent. If you like Plum Rain, or Buche De Noel, then give this a try!

Star Light Star Bright Bath Melt

Twinkle, twinkle, little star! SLSB has been on my blog quite a few times. This star contains an array of butters and oils to melt into the skin and bath smoothly. it contains silver lustre on the top which gives your bath an amazing sparkle. SLSB also contains Lime and Ginger Oils, which gives it an uplifting spicy scent. I love this one! If you like Monsters Ball, Ocean Salt, or, The Magic Of Christmas, then give this a try!

Face & Lips

Cranberry Fizz Lip Scrub

Festive season requires a lot of kissing, so prep your lips for all that puckering up! This scrub contains Caster Sugar, Jojoba Oil, Peach Kernel Oil, Cranberry Seed and Lime Oils, and Ginger Absolute to give your lips a bit of a tingle and moisturisation! I love this scrub because it tastes so sweet but has a kick afterwards and preps your lips so well! If you like Merry Berry, then give this a try!

Rudolph Face Mask

With your nose so bright, from this face mask, won't you ride my sleigh tonight? This Jelly Face Mask comes with a little red nose! It contains, Fresh Orange Infusion and Juice, Kaolin, Cocoa Powder, Rhassoul Mud, Tangerine Oil, Cocoa Absolute and a few other goodies. The Cocoa Absolute makes it smell like Chocolate Mousse. The Orange gives it an Orange undertone, but also helps to tone the skin whilst using the mask. The Mud helps to cleanse the skin. The Cocoa Powder helps to ensure that the Face Mask has a consistent colour. Personally, I've smelt it and I haven't gotten any of the Orange coming through, but I'm not sure if it will until you actually apply it to the face? (Who's up for a full review for when I actually use it? Let me know down below!)
