LUSH HAUL




Hi lovelies! I bet this is the first Lush Haul you've seen this year right? No? So, as you can see just a through Lush products came through the post this week! You'll have to excuse the plastic packaging, that's what happens when you order online! So of course, with it being that time of the year, I had to have some of the Christmas products! It'd be rude not too, right? So, let's get into what I got!


Candy Mountain Bubble Bar
This lovely little bubble bar is perfectly named, because as you can see, it's in the shape of a mountain and (this you can't see, or smell) it smells like candy! If you've smelled Snow Fairy before, it smells just like that - gorgeously sweet, girly and pink! Yes, pink is a legit way to describe scents. If you don't know what a bubble bar is (where have you been?), they're pretty much a solid bubble bath, you break off a piece and crumble it under running water and it creates lots and lots of lovely scented bubbles in your bath.

Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar
This bubble bar is the biggest one they do, it's a relaxing, soothing scent. It's quite an earthy smell and not as sweet as a lot of Lush's products, so if you love that super sweet Lush scent, this may not be for you. It's an earthy patchouli and frankincense scent, so it's almost a little like mens aftershave to me, but it's a lovely scent and definitely worth a sniff if you're not so into super sweet girly scents.

The Comforter Bubble Bar
And if you are into super sweet girly scents, the comforter bubble bar is going to be one for you! This one is another sweet, girly scent, but this one's more berry scented than sugary sweet like Candy Mountain. This also turns your bath pink, what's not to love?


The Melting Snowman Bath Melt
This little cutie is amazing because when you pop him in your bath, he melts and turns your bath all milky and moisturising. Your skin feels lovely and soft. He literally smells like Christmas, so this is the perfect  December bath treat, love it!

Snow Fairy Massage Bar
No prizes for guessing what this smells like! I got this little massage bar as I love the snow fairy scent, but didn't really need another shower gel, so I decided to give this a go instead! You rub this little bar all over and it leaves an oily layer over your skin, like a massage oil (hence massage bar!!), you then rub this in and it is super moisturising and makes your skin feel amazing! I'll probably review this in full as I need to try it a little more, but I'm loving it so far!

Sandy Santa Sugar Scrub
SANTA! I KNOW HIM. I KNOW HIM!! Ahem. So, this little scrubby bar is kind of like a bar of soap with sugar in it. It's like a solid body scrub, I'm so excited to give this a go and I'll definitely review it when I do. It kind of smells like suncream, but in a really nice way, like coconutty and orangey. Not overly christmassy but very lovely none the less.


Golden Wonder Bath Bomb
Two things, one, this is shaped like a Christmas present and two, this rattles like a Christmas present. The website says this is 'not for a quick bath', because it takes a while for everything inside to reveal itself. I haven't actually used one of these before, but apparently this bath bomb is full of surprises so that's pretty exciting! This smells quite citrussy which is nice, it's fresh, but in a festive way!

Cinders Bath Bomb
This bath bomb smells so gorgeous, it's a lovely warm scent with notes of cinnamon, sweet almond oil and citrus. It's got popping candy in it, which you can sort of hear in the bath, but not a lot. If you like warm, wintery, spicy scents then this is definitely for you.

So White Bath Bomb
This little lovely may look a little more dull than the other but it makes up for it in the form of a beautiful crisp apple scent and a secret pink centre, meaning it turns your bath a pretty pink colour! I haven't actually tried this, but my sister has used them before and the scent is just beautiful, so fresh and pretty. And as I'm typing this, I'm just realising the connection between 'So White' to 'Snow White',  explaining the apple scent, which excites me greatly.

Luxury Lush Pud Bath Bomb
Though this colourful little bath bomb looks very exciting, it's actually got a lovely soothing lavender scent, making it the perfect before bed bath bomb. And it's a purple Christmas pudding with multi coloured polka dots. Much better than the brandy soaked one you get after your turkey (which for the record, I don't like, mince pie instead please).


I Want Candy Gift Set
This was actually a gift for someone, but I would definitely have kept it for myself! It contains the Candy Mountain bubble bar and Rockstar soap, which is shaped like a star! Rockstar smells like snow fairy too, so this is the perfect Christmas gift for any girly girl!

Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh Face Mask
I chose this as I've never actually tried a fresh face mask before and as I've said in previous posts, my skin freaks out in the winter, it goes dry in patches, but  but this mask is meant to be fab for those little skin disasters, whether it be dryness, spots or sensitivity. So I'm going to give this a go and feed back to you all on how it goes!


And finally, as with every Lush order/ trip to Lush, they included some lovely little samples to try. I know this is probably a marketing strategy to get us to buy more products, but it's a nice gesture none the less - and it makes the order much more exciting! In this order, there was a little piece of the 'Peace Massage Bar', pots of 'Rub Rub Rub Scrubby Shower Gel', 'Smaragadine Bubble Bath' and a little 'Sugar Scrub'.

What do you think? What's your fave Lush product?
