Lush Bubble Bath Beauty Haul

Saturday late morning... get with the girls and get ready to go on a shopping spree!

It was one of those days where I wasn't really motivated to buy loads and loads of clothes but the moment I saw Lush had quite a few products on sale, a smile from ear to ear drew itself on my face and I'm pretty sure I looked like the Grinch for a second there.

I knew that Christmas products that were left over the holidays were on sale but unfortunately all these have been removed from their website but if you are up for hunting, go to Queensgate Shopping Centre in Peterborough they still have quite a bit of Christmas bath favourites available.

 


First one up is So White, it smells more like bergamot than it does apples and the scent is a tad strong. I'm very much looking forward to using this one early morning because of the freshness of the scent it's more of a "wake-me-up" kind of bath bomb. Also I thought it was cute that it's the size on an apple :P

Next is Star Light, Star Bright, which I was doubtful about getting at first because it was glittery and what not but while I was in the shop I quickly Googled it on my phone and read some very positive reviews. It smells zesty and like citrus, leaves the skin incredibly smooth after using and I love how the water gets all glittery and pretty.

I didn't know what to expect of Bombardino, I honestly only grabbed it because I saw it on the website and thought it looked cute. I got one to try it out and it smells like straight up butter. If you've ever tried Lush's lip scrub in Popcorn it is the exact same smell. On your lips it smells nice but I'm not sure I want to smell like a buttery snack before I go to bed. I'm on the fence about this one still.

And last but not least, my favourite out of the whole lot: The Melting Snowman. What can I say about this sad looking little guy? It smells spicy, Christmassy, and the presentation of it is quite adorable.

As mentioned before, I'm a sucker for a good indulgence bath and if stress is becoming overwhelming, a bubble bath is the best way to unwind.

Derp Bubble Bath

Like most girls, I do like a good bubble bath. I find it relaxing, makes my skin feel amazing after, help prep for a full body exfoliation, and an endless list of pros and cons.

Over the recent holidays I received sooooo many bath soaks, bubble bars, bath melts, etc. My mother and boyfriend know me too well.

One of my gifts was a christmas trio from Boots from their Champneys Spa Indulgence line which included 3 pots of the following scents: Distant ShoresMediterranean Bliss & my favourite Oriental Opulence.


The one I chose for today was Oriental Opulence. Champneys is a bit on the pricey side, yes, but OMG it smells delicious! The product itself is very thick, rich & cream, you just have to be very careful when pouring into the tube, the packaging is a tube, not a squeeze bottle so you can very easily get carried away.

As part of my "Indulgence Routine" I also slap on a face mask while I'm in the tub. I do own a few of these but my current favourite is Lush's Mask of Magnaminty (click link to purchase), it's refreshing like no other and clears up my face when I have crazy spots coming out. I normally apply this mask after washing my face with Lush's Coalface also for troubled skin. I would recommend Coalface for daily use unless you have super oily skin because it does tend to dry you out quite a bit.




Last but not least, light a couple of scented candles and kick back, read a book, listen to some music or just play around with the delicious bubbles :)
All work and no play makes me a dull girl
