My First Lush Haul

I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so excited! For those of you who don't know... Lush is an amazing UK Company that sells lovely handmade cosmetics, lotions, tons of bath stuff and more! Check out their website and I promise you won't be disappointed.

 Over the last 2 years, I've been reading and watching videos of Lush Hauls and have always been jealous of everyones stuff! I love a good bath so the Bath Bombs and the Bubble Bars really caught my attention. I've never been into an actual Lush store, unfortunately there aren't any near where I live, so after a lot of research, I've finally taken the plunge and ordered some lovely bath time fun! 

I decided to pick up three Bath Bombs because I've never used anything like it before... I've only ever had bubble baths so I though this would be a nice way to transition to the Lush world. I picked up Sex Bomb, Father Christmas, Cinders and one Bubble Bar called Sparkly Pumpkin I'm sure you can tell which one is which by the picture :) 

I've used Sex Bomb and Sparkly Pumpkin so far and am pretty pleased with the overall experience. Unfortunately I got a little too excited and forget that I don't need my baths full to the top with water since I am an adult and will overflow the tub when I get in if its too high. This became an issue when using the bar and bomb since I overfilled the bath the bomb didn't have the same effect it probably would have if I didn't have so much water in! To use the bath bomb you simply just drop it into your bath and it basically explodes with gorgeous colors and fragrance. When I went to let out some water from the tub Sex Bomb lost a lot of the lovely pinkyness. It did smell amazing though and I enjoyed having pink bath water! Lush's description of Sex Bomb is Brazen jasmine flirts with your senses

What’s in a name? When it comes to the Sex Bomb we take the moniker seriously. A must for any romantic bath, our world famous sphere of sex appeal contains all of Nature’s most potent and seductive ingredients to get you in the mood for a good… bath. Scintillating jasmine, clary sage and ylang ylang are powerful aphrodisiacs that are known to relax you as they warm your heart, and other body parts too. Soya milk makes the water milky, softening your entire body as you enjoy a luxurious soak with our best-selling Bath Bomb. Consider yourself warned.

I do have to admit I enjoyed the Sparkly Pumpkin bubble bar a bit more, something about laying in a tube with bubble makes me really happy! To use the bubble bar all you need to do is run the bar under your tab to create a fantastic amount of bubbles. I don't think I got the full effect of my Sparkly Pumpkin either because I started adding the bubbles way before I got it and then had to drain some of the water out when I got it. Usually people say you don't have to use an entire bubble bar but since this one was pretty small and since I had to add more water and bubble once I actually got in the bath I did use my entire pumpkin. It smelled great and left my bath water orange (a color I usually HATE) and very sparkly obviously! This is  Lush's description: Perfect for long, lingering soaks

At the end of a long day, pop this Sparkly Pumpkin into the bath. As you crumble its golden shimmeryness under running water, you’ll feel instantly re-energized. An uplifting blend of juniperberry, grapefruit and lime oils will fill the room with an enticing, cocktail-like punch. And as you sink deep under the glittering gold water, you won’t be able to keep from smiling – probably because this little pumpkin is made to make every day bright.

The Father Christmas is so cute I can't wait to use him but I also don't want to because he's so adorable! I suppose once it gets close to Christmas it will only be fair to give the little guy a go so I can fully get into the Holiday Spirit. Lush's description of Father Christmas: "A festive bomb to bring Santa's presence into the bath. Once you pop this jolly bomb in your bath, you’ll be able to soak away the hours in sweet, mouthwatering waters as the blushing red of Santa's cheeks fizz away to reveal a vivid, holly green center. All we want for Christmas is this Santa, baby!"

Finally I picked up Cinders, this scent is usually not what I would go for because I often enjoy the sweeter smell but since it is getting close to Christmas, I couldn't resist. I actually really like the spicy scent. It also has some kind of popping crystals in it which really excited the little kid in me. Here's the description: For fireside-like comfort, heat up your holidays with this sweet and spicy bomb inspired by fireside gatherings with family and friends. We combine crackling vegan popping candy with stimulating cinnamon leaf oil to recreate the warmth of the hearth. With a bath so inviting, you can skip the open fire and curl up with this fizzer instead.

I'm really looking forward to my next purchase because I for sure am getting more bubble bars over bath bombs and I won't fill up may bath too high before getting in and using the bubble bar!

I am looking for recommendations for different Lush products since I can't get to a Lush myself to smell and see everything. Please leave me your recommendations in the comments and tell me which are your favorites! 

Until next time,

Bexs
