Calling all Lush Junkies! Lush Bath Time Review

Lush O Lush You turn my heart to Mush!

Bear with me please, you know how happy and corny I get when it comes to Lush....

Todays question is....
How do you de stress?
Do you kick back on the couch with a good book?

Or..
 relax with your favorite movie with a big mug of frothy hot chocolate?

How about lighting up some candles and running a hot scented bath with your favorite bath products to melt all your worries away?

Lush makes some of the best looking/smelling bath bombs around and I'm not just saying this cuz I have an unhealthy obsession with this brand *Blush*

Speaking of obsession, check out this Link of someone who actually makes Lush charm Jewelry

Are these cute or what....

  

Moving on... I have tried just a few of their bath products and have loved every single one of them.

Let's start off from the prettiest of the bunch shall we...

CHRISTMAS EVE Bubble Bar £2.95/100g

Christmas Eve Bubble Bar

Lush: When you're too excited to sleep on Christmas Eve, the best thing to do is crumble one of these deeply relaxing jasmine and ylang ylang scented Bubble Bars into your tub. Sink into the skin-softening water (thanks to the Irish moss powder) and lie back in clouds of twinkling foam. You'll emerge a sleepy-head who's ready to nod off to dreamland and have some very sweet dreams indeed. 


This is available only at Christmas time and is an absolute delight to use before bedtime.Gives off heaps of bubbles and turns the water a very relaxing shade of purple/blue.It has a beautiful powdery Jasmine scent to it and really helps you unwind and puts you in the mood to sleep. All you have to do is crumble half of it under hot running water, lie back and just see the bubbles foam up. It really is very soothing and relaxing, so make sure you don't nod off in the tub! It's good for at least two baths and leaves you with softly scented moisturized skin.Utter bliss.... 

CINDERS Bath Bomb £1.95/Each

 

Lush: Like a warming glass of mulled wine by a crackling log fire (it really crackles in the bath)!

Much like you cannot avert your eyes from the tantalizing flames in a fire, you will not be able to avert your nose from this Bath Bomb. The warming, sweet cinnamon and orange fragrance was inspired by a comforting yuletide drink in Sweden and is utterly irresistible on a chilly evening. Cinders is the color of a glowing ember and crackles like wood on the fire (just like the fire that Cinderella slept beside in the fairytale). The crackling and popping is a result of the vegan fizzing candy (pop rocks!) that we put into each bomb. Since you've no place to go, stay for a while and let the almond oil soften up your skin. Satisfies your sweet tooth with a cinnamon heart candy scent. Unwind in a warming Cinders bath on a snowy evening. 


A little smaller than a tennis ball,Cinders is a fun bath bomb to try and is supposed to imitate the feeling of  warmness you get while sitting infront of a crackling fire.It has a warming sweet cinnamon scent mixed in with oranges and spices and turns the water a light shade of orange. You can't help but laugh when the popping candies on top starts popping in the water, imitating the crackling of fire. The almond oil in it really left my skin soft and i didn't feel like using a moisturizer afterwards.Will definitely repurchase. I only wish the scent was a bit stronger in the water, and it was available all year round and not just for Christmas.

SO WHITE Bath Bomb £1.90/Each

Just to show you it's size

 Lush: Simon worked hard to create the perfect apple fragrance – there is no such thing as real apple essential oil, you see. A blend of bergamot oil, neroli oil and orange flower absolute create a sweet, crisp scent. He added a hint of romantic and fragrant rose absolute to care for sensitive winter skin. So White is the fairest in all the lands, with grated Bubble Bar mixture to create a frothy, snowy white blanket on the water. And we bathed happily ever after. Slow-fizzing and frothing for those who want to indulge in a long, luxurious bath.It is inspired by the tempting apple a certain wicked stepmother tricked her beautiful stepdaughter into eating. Made with the uplifting scents of refreshing oranges, apples and romantic rose and it's meant to wake you if you've been under a spell (or just feeling tired). Kiss your skin with So White and you'll be bewitching and beguiling too.

So white, love it's name :) is a crisp apple scented bath bomb. I don't think Lush has ever done an apple fragrance before So white. It is very refreshing and melts in a long time so have a good book with you in the tub.Usually bath bombs don't leave any kind of froth but this one leaves the water foamy and scented.Is this a bath bomb and bubble bar all in one? Leaves the skin soft with a lingering clean apple scent. Stock up on this one if you love apple scents, as this too sadly makes an appearance once a year around Christmastime.

THE BOOG Bath Bomb

Lush: Herbal snowman packed with fireworks. An explosion of bubbles and fizz. The Boog was inspired by a Swiss tradition of building an effigy of a snowman. They filled it's head with fireworks, hoist it onto a bonfire and wait to see how long it takes for it's poor little head to go BOOM!The longer it takes for his head to explode, the better the following Summer will be. Although this seems like snowman-related barbarism, the LUSH version is quite different, though no less explosive with colorful surprises and a calming, herbal fragrance."

The Boog is another Christmas special that is shaped like the head of a smiling white snowman with pieces of bathmelts stuffed inside. I was quite excited by it's description but sadly didn't like it as much as the others. First of all it smells kind of funky.Herbal and bland and lacked a certain zing that should come with the mention of fireworks. I don't hate it or anything but the scent wasn't exactly what I was expecting. It does froth the water with multi colored stripes for a little while but doesn't change the color of the water.Somewhat disappointing, only because after Lush's description you expect a little more drama.On the plus side it did turn my skin silky soft and the scent stayed on for a long time. It is discontinued for now.

TISTY TOSTY Bath Bomb £2.99/110g

 Lush: A touch of magic. Tisty Tosty was inspired by the beautiful writings of a literary critic. It was based on a spell used to stir the passions and bring love to you, depending on the state of mind of the caster. With seven roses, if you start positively, it will end positively. Its fragrance has constantly evolved over the years and Simon has mastered the definitive Tisty fragrance. It weaves a magic love spell with a scent of precious rose and orris root. The fragrant rose is surrounded with mystery and legend: it is said to have come from the Great Garden of ancient Persia; and Cleopatra is rumored to have seduced Anthony with it. Rose perfume is said to ease tension and stress and to give people happy, positive feelings.

This is a wonderful bath bomb and very pretty to look at too with a light old fashioned rose and orris root scent to it .If relaxing in a bath with roses floating around you is your idea of romantic, you are going to love Tisty Tosty. The idea behind it is that each bath bomb contains 7 dried rosebuds in it, and when you drop it into the bath you are supposed to say 'He loves me/loves me not' with each rose bud you see lol. It makes the water very soft and is chock full of essential oils to condition the skin.

And now for the disappointment 

Yes yes! It's hard to believe, but there actually is something from lush that I dislike with a passion,

TOO DRUNK Emotibomb £2.99

Lush: For when you partied too hard.This is for the day after you got too drunk. It has essential oils of peppermint, tagetes, fennel and reviving sweet wild orange to refresh you, soothe a sore head and bring you back to life.Blended to ease the pangs of a hangover.Just stick one in the shower, turn on the water and stand there - or sit if you can't manage being vertical - getting drenched, until it all feels a bit better. Of course, you don't have to have a hangover to use one.

Emotibombs are a good concept in theory but practically they suck big time.They are supposed to be like bath bombs for the shower, And are made for customers who either dislike baths or don't have one. Emotibombs are  supposed to work with the steam of the shower and release all those important essential oils and make your shower a beautiful experience. Well curiosity got the best of me and I bought this funny looking guy.I don't drink, but was told this one also helps to clean the senses and dissipate the headache when you have a cold.I put it to the test and it did release a bit of minty menthol aroma at first, but then I saw it disappearing in the water in like under a minute. Whoa!Was this a joke lush? or did you create this after having one too many? It's not cheap either. Give this one a miss, and all is right with me and lush again ;) *Angels playing the harp*
