Good afternoon
everyone
This week I have
been enjoying some me time with some days holiday off of work before I go on
maternity leave, (I had 9 days left to use before the end of October) So
yesterday me and my Nana took the opportunity to go and have a day out
shopping. We went to our local shopping centre, had a good wander round and
some lovely lunch in Debenhams café. One of the main places I wanted to go into
was LUSH!!!
As I am sure
any woman who has ever been pregnant could agree with me, baths are AMAZING
when you have a bit of a bad back, or have had a hard day at work, maybe you
are feeling a bit emotional because your other half hasn’t put his dirty
underwear in the wash basket, but next to it on the floor instead (looking at
Mr Bow here) A good bath can heal almost anything, I am pretty positive that a
good Lush bath contains actual magical powers, anyway I had ran out of
EVERYTHING from Lush so I needed to stock up and I thought it would be a great opportunity
to show you what I have bought (I thought I would add what Lush say about them
too)
Yuzu
& Cocoa Bubbleroon
“For those times when you need a bit
of comfort. Instead of reaching for a sweet treat, run a bath and crumble this
macaroon-shaped bar under the tap for some serious indulgence. With
moisturising coconut oil and shea butter, Yuzu and Cocoa has a mood-brightening
colour and scent thanks to a blend of citrus oils, with a chocolatey undertone.
Coconut and shea butter get to work feeding your skin as you soak, while the
citrus oils pep up your mood.”
I was very intrigued when I saw this
as it is not my normal style at all!! Give me chocolate to eat any day of the
week but I didn’t quite know how I felt about it in my bath. But once I gave it
a sniff OMG!!! It smells incredible, obviously I haven’t used them yet so I will
have to report back on how they are in the bath but I can see this becoming a
strong favourite of mine.
The Comforter
Bubble Bar
“Sometimes you just need to shut
yourself off from the outside world under a blanket of fruity foam that will
put you back in the right frame of mind to face the world. This bar is supersized,
so you’ll only need to crumble half a bar under your tap to make enough bubbles
for a long, comforting soak. Cassis absolute gives a distinctive blackcurrant
fragrance, while bergamot adds an uplifting note.”
I must admit, this is the only one of
what I have bought that I have tried before, and it is most definitely a tried
and tested favourite!! I always repurchase this every time I go into Lush!! I also
always find the biggest one I can so I can use it as many times as possible,
this is one that I always break into at least 3 pieces, the smell is incredible
and the bubbles are also lovely that it produces, they have also just bought
out a shower gel in the same scent so I think that will be firmly on my list
for my next visit!!
Frozen Bath Bomb
“Do you want to have a bath bomb? Do
you want to splash and play? Enjoy the most magical soak in the kingdom with
this shimmering blue bath bomb, which spills out rolling snowdrifts of silver
lustre. Uplifting neroli from Tunisia and precious rose oil from Turkey are
sure to spread a little sunshine and melt the iciest of moods. If your day's
felt like a series of doors in your face, this shiny, sky blue bomb filled with
sparkle provides the perfect fairytale ending. Step in, take a deep breath
and let it go.”
Im not going to pretend that my love
for the film had any bearings on the fact that I bought this bath bomb, however
the smell is also incredible. There looks as if there is silver glitter running
through this which well who doesn’t love a bit of glitter (maybe Mr Bow when
the bath is all glittery afterwards) Blue is also one of my favourite colours
so I am always automatically drawn to blue objects (a bit like a magpie to
shiny things) I will report back on this one to tell you how It was.
Dragons Egg Bath
Bomb
“Dragon’s Egg makes bathtime exciting
as it fizzes and crackles and changes the colour of your water to a gorgeous
citrusy gold. Its scent is reminiscent of lemon sherbet, with a hint of
jasmine, leaving you feeling great and ready for a good day. Its citrus scents
leave you feeling transformed and invigorated.”
I had seen this bath bomb so many
times but never actually tried it so I thought I would give it a go, the smell
is incredible and from what I can remember hearing about it even though it
looks a bit bland from the outside there is a rainbow of colours inside so I think
this one most definitely will be a “don’t judge a book by its cover”
Milky Bath
Bubble Bar
“Don't cry over spilled milk - bathe
in it! This comforting little milk bottle bubble bar is filled with uplifting
orange oil and skimmed milk to treat your skin to a dose of happiness. A cocoa
butter bottle top adds a little bit of extra softness. Simply crumble
under running water, for a super bubbly treat of a bath.”
This one I had never seen or heard
anything about and was a recommendation from the lovely girl who worked in the
store, after mentioning that I was pregnant she said this one is brilliant for
moisture for when bump gets a bit tight and itchy (which is starting to happen
more often now, more on that to come another day) it smells so nice and warming
if that is even a thing, I think this one will be a definite treat bath when I use
it.
Intergalactic
Bath Bomb
“Ever wondered what bathing in deep
space would be like? Invite the cosmos into your bathroom with this sexy,
interstellar bomb and become the guardian of your own galaxy. An awesome mix of
refreshing peppermint and neon colour sends your mood rocketing, while popping
candy takes you on a trip around the Milky Way. Constellations swirl and pop,
creating vibrant lustre vortexes in the night sky. Before you leap too far,
rogue layers of vetivert and cedarwood take hold, evoking the warmth of human
contact far from home and a hint of 80s aftershave. Return from your
intergalactic brief encounter as the grounding scent brings you gently back
from orbit.”
Honestly I was sold on this one just
by how it looks, but the fact it smells amazing too is an added bonus!! I
can’t wait to see what it looks like when I pop it into my bath with all the
colours and what looks like some glitter running through it, I’m sure it is going
to be an exciting one.
Well that Is everything I got from
Lush on my little shopping trip yesterday, stay tuned if you want to see individual
reviews on them as I use them. I already want to go and run myself a nice warm
bath and jump into it but alas housework and making lunch calls.
Talk to you all soon
Lots of love
Kayleigh
