Update.

Hello! 

Just a quick update for you all. 

Firstly, thank you for all your support with this little old blog of mine which I started earlier this year, it means so much to me and I have enjoyed logging on seeing all those page views as well as comments on my Instagram photos.

As you know when are entering the festive season, and like most of you I am getting ready for Christmas - yes I know it's November but when you have a big family it takes planning. I want to apologise for not updating this blog regularly, but their has been a lot going on in my personal life as well as Christmas planning, sorting and organising. 

Therefore, this is a note to say that I will not be updating my blog for the rest of the year. I have not been trying out new products regularly recently, as I have been trying to up my older stuff before using all the new stuff. 

However, I will be back in the New Year with regular reviews as well as a few other posts I am planning to do - not just all about the products reviews. 

If you want to see what I am getting up to over the festive period then please follow my Instagram: @beckyscahill where I will be posting a lot of pictures over Christmas - including Lush products I am using - just not blogging about!

So until 2016, 

Have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year and I will see you back here in January :) 

Thank you so much again, 

Love, Becky x 

Lush Winter 2014: Christmas Eve Bubble Bar

Apart from Candy Mountain, this particular bubble bar was my absolute favourite from the Christmas collection that Lush brought out. I was looking forward to it being brought back this year, but I was devastated to discover that it was not making it return. Fortunately my lovely sister managed to grab a few off eBay in order to enjoy the wonders of this bubble bar this year. This is Christmas Eve Bubble Bar. 

Christmas Eve Bubble Bar

Oh me oh my, this bubble bar sums up Christmas for me. When I used it for the last year I was in heaven and loved using thought the christmas period - and a few months after as I grabbed some in the Boxing Day Sale. However, I used them all up with the hope they were coming back this year. 

I was really disappointed when Lush did not bring it back, I personally thought it was quite a popular product amongst Lushies. As I have already mentioned, my sister grabbed me a couple of eBay which were from last year - so I still get to use one on Christmas Eve! 

This product contains: Irish Moss Powder, Jasmine Absolute, Ylang Ylang Oil and Gardenia Extract. It smells incredible, and that scent continues once you have crumbled it under the running water. It also creates a wonderful colour, which is a lovely Christmassy green in your bath water - which is lovely to soak in. After using this bubble bar my skin feels amazing, as well as relaxed and ready to slip on my christmas pyjamas ready for Santa to visit. 

Hopefully Christmas 2016, Lush will realise their mistake and bring it back once more. I am also hoping that it might pop up in the Lush Kitchen the weeks leading up to Christmas. 

This bath bomb was: £2.95.

Lush Winter 2015: Luxury Lush Pud Bath Bomb

Overwhelmed by the Lush Winter Range this year, with a lot of new ones but of course some old favourites. One that took time to come out, was the Luxury Lush Pud which I was thrilled was back as it is one of my favourites.

Luxury Lush Pud

Now, this will sounds weird, as I do not like the Twilight Bath Bomb, which is a year round product that is available at Lush. However, even though this bath bomb shares it scent with Twilight Bath Bomb, I prefer this bath bomb. I find the Twilight Bath Bomb overpowering, whereas this product has more of a subtle scent which I really enjoy and find comforting especially as it is getting colder here in the uk. 

This product contains: Lavender Oil, Tonka Absolute, Ylang Ylang Oil and Gardenia Extract. When using this bath bomb I can definitely smell the Lavender - which is really good for nights when sleeping can be a bit tricky. The Lavender is not overpowering and I personally think the right amount for a relaxing bath time experience. 

Not only does this product smell amazing, it also creates a display in the bath tub when dropped into the water. They lovely pink as well as the other pops of colour create beautiful bath art which merges into a deep fuchsia colour. I used this bath bomb on its own and usually I like the add a bubble bar in order to create bubbles but this worked all on it own and it was amazing. I am pleased to have another in my collection. 

The only thing negative I would say about this product, is I don't know if I am imagining it but I personally think this particular bath bomb is smaller than last years - but it still packs a punch!

For this bath bomb: £3.95.

Lush Kitchen: Temple of Truth Bubble Bar

I find the Lush Kitchen touch and go. I love looking on a Sunday night at what they are offering in the kitchen each week and have been lucky to pick up a few good ones since using the Kitchen from the beginning on this year. When this particular bubble bar appeared in the Kitchen, my sister picked up a couple for me and I was so pleased she did as I have fallen in love with the scent and the colour. 

Temple of Truth Bubble Bar

The shape of this bubble bar reminds me so much of the ever so popular Lush Christmas item - Candy Mountain, but in this case it a gorgeous bright blue colour. When I first smelt this bubble bar, instantly fell in love with the fresh and uplifting scent that is bubble bar presented. 

I'm a sucker for bath bombs and bubble bars that give that fresh feeling and give off a fresh aroma. This bubble bar contains: Sandalwood Oil, Guicacwood Oil and Rosewood Oil. Which creates a lovely, fresh clean smell and well as effect when it is added to the bath water. 

For a bubble bar, which is plain in colour and adds a lovely wash of bright blue to the bath water, it definitely is not a boring and simple bubble bar. I like the simplistic design and scent to this bubble bar, and really enjoyed using in the bath tub. 

Even though we are in the midst of winter, and typically you want to use fresh scented bubble bars during the summer months but this is a really good for the winter months, because after being wrapped up in all the layers, the idea of a fresh feeling bath at the end of the day before getting cosy in bed on a winter's night. I am so pleased that I have another one of these in my stash for later on in the winter. 

For this bubble bar: £3.75.

Fizzbanger Bath Bomb

Having thought that I had at least tried all the bath bomb worth trying in the original collection I discovered there was one that I had neglected. To be honest, I think it was the original look and smell of the bath bomb that I did not appeal to me - therefore I overlooked it. However, since I have been visiting the Lush Oxford Street store, I decided to pick it up and give it a whirl. Since trying it, falling in love with it, I have picked up another one. This is the Fizzbanger Bath Bomb. 

Fizzbanger Bath Bomb

When you see this bath bomb for the first time, you do not expect it to be that interesting - it's just a plain yellow bath bomb - but this bath bomb has a secret inside. When this bath bomb is launched into the bath water, it reveals a beautiful blue than when mixed with the yellow creates a lovely sea green colour that swirls around the bath tub. It is amazing, definitely fun to watch before stepping into it. Another thing, that is surprising when it comes to this bath bomb is the scent. Initially when you look at it, with it being yellow you assume it is going to be a citrusy fragrance but like the colour the scent is a huge amazement. The scent of this bath bomb goes along the lines of cinnamon and toffee apple - which makes this particular bath bomb really warming rather than refreshing. 

This bath bomb contains: Popping Candy, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Petitgrain Oil, Ylang Ylang Oil and Oak Moss Extract. I'm usually not one for bath bomb that contain Cinnamon, I do not really go for spicy scents, however, this cinnamon scent is more uplifting and relaxing which is what I really enjoy and get from this bath bomb and made me make sure I had another one in my collection for when I wanted that feeling again. 

Overall, this is a really enjoyable bath bomb from their main collection. I really do enjoy finding scents from their overall collection to enjoy rather than always relying on scents and experiences from their limited edition collections. Therefore, you are never disappointed or missing out. 

For this bath bomb: £3.35.

Big Bang Bubble Bar

"And it all started with a Big Bang!"

One of my favourite television shows is The Big Bang Theory, I love it so much that I have named my new kitten after one of the Main characters - Sheldon! When I saw that Lush was hinting at new bubble bar for there launch of Lush Oxford Street that was named after my favourite show, I was so excited to try it. Unfortunately it was only available in a gift set at the start, but now it is available exclusively in the Lush Oxford Street store. 

Big Bang Bubble Bar

I love this bubble bar, even more that it is similar to my favourite bath bomb Avobath and Avoshower Shower Gel. I really like using this alongside the bath bomb in order to create a wonderful potion in my bathtub. When the two colours of the Avobath Bath Bomb and Big Bang mix together you get a really nice turquoise coloured bath water with fresh citrus scented bubbles. 

This bubble bar contains: Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Cornflour, Avocado Butter, Grapefruit Oil, Organic Lemon Myrtle Oil, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Rice Syrup. The combination of these ingredients really make for a lovely citrusy bath time experience. It is a really good bubble bar to use if you need a boost to wake up in the morning or a good to relax and freshen up after a long day at work or school. 


I really enjoy this bubble, and I have to say it's one of my favourite products to come out of the launch of Lush Oxford Street. I really hope this bubble bar is going to stick around for a long time and I am always going to make sure there are a few in my collection. 

For this bubble bar: £3.75.

A Mrs Whippy and a Drummer's Drumming

I like matching up scents in order to create a really good cocktail for bath time experiences. Seeing as I am a big fan of bubbles, when using a bath bomb I like to pair it alongside a bubble bar of a similar scent in order to get the best of both worlds. When I discovered that Mrs Whippy Bath Bomb - which was a Lush Kitchen Exclusive and Drummer's Drumming - Lush Winter 2014 - shared the same scent it made for a really good bath time experience. 

Mrs Whippy Bath Bomb

I love the name and the scent of this bath bomb. This is the third Mrs Whippy I have used and I warm to it more and more each time I used on. This one was picked up earlier this year when it was in the Lush Kitchen. When it enters the water, it is a slow fizzer and does not turn your bath water any colour, but the scent is overwhelming. It find it comforting, warming and not overly sweet. It shares it scent with the Yummy Yummy Yummy Shower Gel, Yummy Mummy Shower Gel and Drummer's Drumming Bubble Bar. This product contains: Soya Milk Powder, Tapioca Flour, Sugar, Cocoa Absolute, Tonka Absolute, Almond Essential Oil and Buchu Oil. I enjoy using this alongside Drummer's Drumming Bubble Bar and also Melting Marshmallow Moment Bath Oil. Really good bath time combination. For this bubble bar: £4.00. 

Drummer's Drumming Bubble Bar

This bubble bar came to Stores for Lush Winter 2014. As this was the first Christmas that I had purchased Lush products, as it was the year I actually got into Lush, I was really excited to pick up every product. On one trip to the store, I picked up the Drummer's Drumming Reusable Bubble Bar and fell in love with it. I prefer this Reusable Bubble bar to the ever so popular Magic Wand Reusable Bubble Bar. This product contains: Olibanum Oil, Bergamot Oil, Geranium Oil. It was described as smelling like Strawberries and Cream. To use this I just simply run it under the water, and use as much as I want in order to create lovely smelling bubbles. I have mentioned above, I use this alongside the Mrs Whippy Bath Bomb and it creates a lovely cocktail. Unfortunately, Lush did not bring this back for Lush Winter 2015 and brought out Peeping Santa Bubble Bar - which shares it scent with both these products. For the Bubble Bar: £5.25.

Refresher Shower Jelly

Like I have mentioned in a previous post, I was struggling to use my shower jellies. Since cutting them up I have found it a lot easier to use them and now I am grabbing for them rather than always grabbing for the Shower Gels. The other day, I tried out Refresher Shower Jelly. 

Refresher Shower Jelly

I love pretty much anything with a citrus scent - particularly anything that smells like Lemons. When I discovered that Lush had launched a new Shower Jelly that's scent was full of Lemony goodness I was so pleased and jumped at the opportunity to give it ago - and I can definitely say that I have fallen in love with Refresher Shower Jelly. 

Refresher Shower Jelly is a lovely bright yellow colour which is packed full of Fresh Organic Lemon Infusion, as well as loads of Lemon Oil with Rosewood Oil and Organic Lemon Myrtle Oil which gives it it's lovely strong Lemon scent which I really do enjoy. 

Apart from the scent, which pleases me the most, the product is also amazing. When used on the skin, I love how cooling and refreshing - just like the name suggests - it feels when it is glided across the skin. When I use this, I take of a cut up chunk and rub it onto a bath puff/lily. When it has lathered up, I then use it all over my body, which instantly cools my skin, moistures it and makes it feel really good, as well as awake. I have only tried this in the bath, but my next try will be in the shower. 

You can use Shower Jellies straight out of the pot or you can put them in the fridge or freezer in order to make them cooler to place on the skin. When my pot finishes I will definitely be repurchasing. 

For the Shower Jelly: 100g: £3.50 200g: £6.95.

Intergalactic Bath Bomb

There are still a few products from my first haul from Lush Oxford Street that I still need to get through. One of them was Intergalactic Bath Bomb, which until this week was sitting in my collection waiting to be used. This week I threw it in my bath tub and I am so pleased I did. 

Intergalactic Bath Bomb

If you are a fan of the smell of mint, then this bath bomb will definitely please your senses. This bath bomb is packed full of Peppermint Oil, which works really well as perking you up, making your skin as well as your mind feel more awake. This would work really well as a morning bath time experience - when you feel sluggish and need a bit more waking up or if you have had a long day at work or school and need to feel refreshed before going to bed or possibly out for the night. 

When you throw (with caution), this particular bath bomb into the bath and it starts to fizz it creates a magical bath tub experience which is absolutely out of this world. As Lush describes it "Be the guardian of a galaxy as it explodes in your bath." This product contains: Popping Candy, Peppermint Oil, Grapefruit Oil, Vetivert Oil, Cedarwood Oil, Snowflake, Lemon Ice and Gold Glimmer Lustre. All of which makes for an epic bath. 

To use alongside this bath bomb is Mask of Magnaminty as well as the new bath oil which Lush have launched for Christmas - Snow Melt and even the Salt and Peppermint Bark - again from the Christmas Collection 2015. 

This was a bath bomb that I had put off trying for ages, as I am not a huge fan of mint scented items. However, I really enjoyed being emerged into a blue coloured bath time experience. 

For this bath bomb: £3.50.

Discontinued Space Girl Bath Bomb

When certain products were announced earlier this year that they were going to be discontinued, it was the only time I thought about trying them - to make sure I wasn't going to be missing out of anything spectacular. If I tried something and ended up liking them I made sure to stock up on a few. Space Girl Bath Bomb was one of them I decided to try just as it was going to be discontinued, however I'm not going to miss this one and did not stock up on more. 

Space Girl Bath Bomb

Even though I purchased this when the discontinued list was announced, I only tried it the other day - months after it had been discontinued. I have to say, this is a bath bomb that did not float my boat and one I am not going to miss. 

When trying out this bath bomb, I decided to add it to a bubble bar - just to add something to bath water, however that it how I felt, it just add a bit of fizz. Usually, if I do not like a product, I do not review it, seeing as I would rather blog about products that I really enjoyed. However, because this product has been discontinued I thought it was only fair to review. 

Good points: It was a really good fizzer, when it made contact with the water and it did turn an interesting colour of a light lilac purple colour - with a bit of glitter. Bad points: The smell was more powerful when it was a whole product - when it hit the water the smell sort of disappeared after a few minutes. 

This product contained: Grapefruit Oil, Bergamot Oil, Almond Essential Oil and Popping Candy. None of which came through when it was in the bathtub. 

I'm sorry if I sound negative, but this is only my experience. If this was your favourite product, I do hope you stocked up on a few before they were discontinued. One positive, it was one of the most affordable products Lush did supply. Maybe we will be seeing this product in the Lush Kitchen one day. 

This product was: £2.35.

Lush Winter 2015: Peeping Santa Bubble Bar

As I have mentioned before, one of the appeals that keeps me coming back to Lush and therefore spending more money is that fact that not only do the products create beautiful bath time experiences, they are also pretty and sometimes novel looking items. When Lush Winter launched last week, I was so exciting to see some of the old regulars as well as new or possibly retro products that they planned to bring out/back. I can tell you that I am not disappointed. One of the cutest, novel looking products they brought out is the Peeping Santa Bubble Bar - which I enjoyed in my bath last night. 

Peeping Santa Bubble Bar

Oh me oh my! This is the cutest, lovely smelling and really christmassy product that I have seen Lush bring out this Winter. Such a cute Santa shaped bubble bar, that packs a punch when it is crumbled under running water. 

I used the entire bubble bar in one bath, you could break it in two and use it in two halves - if you wanted to use it sparingly. When crumbled into the bathtub, it turns the bath water a very christmassy red colour. Not only does it crumble lovely and turn the water a lovely shade of red, it also has a whole slab of moisturising butters and oils in one whole slab. This bubble bar is on the same lines as the bubbleroons. 

This product contains: Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Cornflour, Bergamot Oil, Oilbanum Oil, Geranium Oil, Fair Trade Shea Butter and also Dairy Free Chocolate Drops - for the eyes! 

As I have already mentioned above, this bubble bar packs a punch when it comes to benefits to the skin. Containing so much butter - especially with the entire slab of it sandwiched between the bubble bar halves - you skin really does get a treat in moisturising  factors with this bubble bar - plus it is so adorable to look at. 

When it comes to the scent, this smells incredible. It has a hint which is like strawberries, which makes me think that it has a link to products such as Mrs. Whippy Bath Bomb, Drummers Drumming Bubble Wand (Christmas 2014) and Yummy Mummy Shower Gel. Which is amazing, seeing as the Drummers Drumming Bubble Wand was popular last Christmas. 

Overall, this is one that I will be repurchasing when I visit a Lush Store next and making sure I have a few in my collection in order to have Peeping Santa baths in the New Year. 

For this bubble bar: £3.95.

Lush Winter 2015: Snow Fairy Scented Sensation

Snow Fairy, is a very popular scent, that comes out during the Lush Winter Collection and it flies off the shelves. Usually it is most popular as the Shower Gel form - which this year for the first time comes in 1kg bottles. I am not a fan of the Shower Gel, I find it very sickly scented. However, I do enjoy other products which are Snow Fairy scented - particularly the bubble bars. Since the launch of the Lush Winter Collection for 2015, I have been trying out the product, and last nights bath experience was definitely a Snow Fairy Scent Sensation. Two of the products are not from the Lush Winter Collection for this year, but they share the scent - so therefore it was a Snow Fairy Bath. 

Fluffy Egg Bath Ballistic

This particular product came out during Lush Easter this year. This bright pink egg is Snow Fairy scented and when dropped into your bathtub it turns the entire bath water pink. This was a welcome surprise, seeing as Snow Fairy is seasonal it was nice to see if reappear for the Easter Holiday. This product contains: Synthetic Musk, Colour 45410, Colour 14700, Colour 17200 and Candy Flowers. I found that the Snow Fairy scent was not as strong in this particular product, it was more of a subtle smell rather than the overpowering shower gel. I really enjoyed this ballistic, especially as it was a cute Easter Egg shape, which made me feel like there should be chocolate inside. With the Egg Shaped Ballistics, that come over for Easter, it is really good as an Easter present for someone who does not like chocolate or cannot eat it - they can just enjoy it in the bath instead. For this Ballistic: £2.95. 

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar

I am sooooo pleased that this bubble bar has returned this year. This is another one of my favourite Lush Winter Collection bubble bars. This is going to be another bubble bar that I am going to make sure I stock up before Lush Winter has finished. Again, sharing it's scent with Snow Fairy and is the same as Creamy Candy Bar, this adds lovely candy scented bubbles when it is crumbled over running water. This product contains: Cream of Tartar, Cornflour, Snowflake Lustre and Fair Trade Vanilla Absolute. I decided to add this to the Fluffy Egg Bath Ballistic in order to give it some bubbles - but wanted to keep the scent family the same. I like that they have kept it to the pink and white design just like last year. For this bubble bar: £2.95.

Candy Floss Showder

Candy Floss Showder was launched alongside the other Showders when Lush Oxford Street opened back in April earlier this year. I love the Showders, I think they are brilliant for exfoliating, but not harsh like other exfoliating product can be. Again, with Snow Fairy being seasonal, it was a great introduction for something alongside the regular Creamy Candy Bubble Bar, to search the ever to popular seasonal scent. Now, this particular product, is the one that gives off the most subtle Snow Fairy scent - which is a nice addition to an already over Snow Fairy scented bath. To activate this product you simply pour a bit into your hands or on a bath puff/lily or flannel and then add a bit of water. This product contains: Granulated Sugar, Calamine Powder, Fair Trade Vanilla Absolute, Ylang Ylang Oil and Clove Bud Oil. This is also a really handy item I have on hand when it's that time of the month or week to shave your legs - it is good to use before and after to make sure your legs are silky soft. The only downside, is the packaging - I would prefer this to be in the black pots rather than a cardboard box - as it can get wet and damaged easily - for example if it is on the side of the bath tub and gets knocked in the water - the product is damaged. For this Showder: £12.50.

Lush Winter 2015: Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar

Guess who's back, back again, Lush Winter's Back, tell a friend!

It's the most wonderful time, of the year, when all the Halloween and Christmas Lush goodies are back in stores. This is one collection I am really excited for and when it was launched into the Lush Oxford Street Stores last week my sister kindly picked up for me all my favourites as well as most of the new stuff Launched for Christmas/Halloween this year. It is now available in all stores as well as online. My first product, which is a Halloween product - which is my absolute favourite and that is Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble bar. This first product out of my winter collection this year that I used first! 

Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar

Oh, me, oh my this bubble bar is amazing. What isn't there to like about a beautiful smelling, amazing bubble creating and also covering in magnificent gold lustre - oh yeah that's what Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar is all about. This is part of there Halloween Collection. 

When crumbled under running water, this bubble bar creates lovely scented bubbles and changes the water to a lovely orangey colour and of course filled with the beautiful gold lustre. When it comes to the scent, you would think with it being Pumpkin shaped it would be pumpkin scented, but I'm afraid it's not. This product contains: Juniperberry Oil, Lime Oil, Grapefruit Oil, Gold Glimmer Lustre and Cinnamon Stick. As you can probably guess from the ingredients this is a lovely citrus scented bubble bar - which creates lovely fresh smelling bubbles with the smell of the bubble bar continuing right to the end of the bath experience. I have mentioned it goes have a Cinnamon Stick - but as I do not like things flowing in my bathtub I remove that before crumbling it under the water. 

I love this bubble bar, and will be stocking up on a few to get my through the rest of the year once Lush Winter is over. This product came out last year, which was the first time I experienced the Lush Winter Collection and made sure I stocked up on a few last year - so I will be doing that again - as there is always a need for a Sparkly Pumpkin. 

I do feel that there has been a change within the way they are making the bubble bars since the launch of Lush Oxford Street, they have improved so much that they are crumbling better and also the colour and the scent lasts a lot longer than before. Comparing this Sparkly Pumpkin to the Sparky Pumpkins from last year they definitely improved. 

For the Sparkly Pumpkin: £3.65.

Razzle Dazzle Luxury Bath Oil

"Give em' the old Razzle Dazzle"

When I originally began trying out Lush product, I did not quite understand the appeal of the bath melts/oil. It would always be a product that I would by-pass, and go straight for the bubble bars and bath bombs. However, when Lush re-designed the bath melts - now calling them bath oil - which are smaller and designed to look like pick n mix they became a lot more appealing and something I wanted to try. This is Razzle Dazzle. 

Razzle Dazzle Luxury Bath Oil

Now I love a play on word and links to popular culture when it comes to the names of Lush products. When I saw that this bath oil was named after a song from one of my favourite musical Chicago, I jumped at the chance to add this oil to my bath. 

I do not use the bath oils on there own, I like to add them to a bubble bar or bath bomb in order to give the water extra moisture - which is really good for the skin. This product contains: Organic Shea Butter, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Persain Lime Oil, Bergamot Oil, Violet Leaf Absolute and Organic Jojoba Oil. You can definitely feel the amount of butters and oils that they have packed into this oil when it is released into the bath water. Not only do they pack a lot of ingredients which are really good for your skin, but this bath oil smells amazing - and for such a small product it does pack a punch in scent as well as moisturising properties. 

As I have mentioned, I like to add these to bath bomb and bubble bars in order to make a really good combination - especially if the bubble bars or bath bombs do not contain any butters or oils - it really does make a difference. 

If you think Lush is overpriced or you are on a budget when you enter a Lush stores, then the bath oils are really good value - as now they are all priced at £2.00 - so if you have some small change you can treat yourself to a lovely bath oil bath time experience. 

As the bath oils are only £2.00 when I visited Lush Oxford Street for the first time I stocked up on quite a few of the varieties that they have. At the moment, they are only available to Lush Oxford Street Store, and I do not know if they are planning to bring them into other stores or if they will be replacing the current Bath Melts that are still available in other Lush Stores. 

For all Bath Oils: £2.00.

Mother's Day 2015: Mother Superior

One popular collections that Lush brought out this year, apart from the recent Lush Oxford Street and now Lush Winter Collection - was the Mother's Day Collection that came out earlier this year in the UK. As a Lush fan, it is so exciting when they bring out themed bath bombs, bubbles bars an even shower gels. This was the second collection, I really got into - apart from the Lush Winter Collection from 2014. It was only recently that I actually got round to trying this particular Mother's Day product - which unfortunately lost its colour - was Mother Superior Bubble Bar. 

Mother Superior Bubble Bar

Firstly, this is one of the most comical bubble bars that I have seen from Lush, especially with the original colours of the product - which was a bright blue colour with white and then a flesh colour face. Looking a little bit like the Virgin Mary! 

This product shared it scent with Sakura Bath Bomb - which when used together is an amazing combination. It is also great to use alongside Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub and Seanik Shampoo Bar - both of which share the same scent as the Bath Bomb and this bubble bar. All together a really good Sakura Scented Bath experience. 

This product contains: Sicilian Lemon Oil, Mimosa Absolute, Orange Blossom Absolute and Jasmine Absolute. The scent is so fresh, clean feeling and a really good one to use in the morning as a really wake me up, pick me up bubble bar. A really good bubble bar for the scent to stay for the entire bath time experience - rather than dwindling off like other bubble bars I have used. 

When this product was fresh, it was a beautiful bright blue colour, than when crumbled into the bath it would turn the bath water a lovely blue/turquoise colour with fresh smelling bubbles. Even though mine faded in colour, the scented remained and even though I didn't get a beautiful blue bath water, I did enjoy the lovely smelling bubbles. The only thing this bubble bar lacked was something to moisturise the skin, but that is my only downside. 

If you are lucky enough to have stocked up, when they were on sale earlier in the year then I hope you look forward to experience more Mother Superior Bath times. 

For this product: £3.75.

Discontinued Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly

Yesterday, while sitting in my room before going to have a shower, I can to the conclusion that I do not use my shower jellies more. I always grab for my shower gels over the jellies. So, I decided to find a way in order to use them more in the shower or the bath. The Jellies are really hard to handle as a whole, so after googling options, a lot of people recommend cutting them up, so you can use bits at a time - therefore I spent the evening cutting up my jellies. So, in last nights shower I managed to finally use Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly. 

 Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly 

Firstly, I am so disappointed that this shower jelly has been discontinued. I know that this has been a popular product amongst the Lush community, as it does share its scent with the Comforter. However, when they launched the Comforter Shower Cream in April this year - that replaced this shower jelly. 

As I have already mentioned, this shower jelly shares it's scent with The Comforter Bubble Bar and now Shower Cream, but I personally think that it a stronger berry scent that the Comforter. 

This product contains: Cherry Infusion, Coconut Infusion, Carrageenan Extract, Bergamot Oil and Cassis Absolute, Cypress Oil.

Similar ingredients to the Comforter, but overall the scent is stronger and does last a lot longer on the skin that the shower cream. This will also be good to use alongside the Comforter Body Lotion in order to really keep that scent intense. 

If you haven't used a Shower Jelly before, then it is like using a semi-solid Shower Gel. You can use it straight out of the pot or if you like the coolness of shower products, then you could put this in the fridge or freezer in order to use it at a colder temperature. I used this at room temperature last night, but I am interested to see how it would feel if it came straight out of the fridge and into the shower - would it make a difference to my skin? 

I definitely recommend cutting it up, so that it is easier to use - especially in the shower, as you could end up dropping the entire jelly from the jar. That would not be good! 

Unfortunately, this product is no longer available in stores, but if you are lucky enough to have a pot on hand or stocked up on several before they left the stores/online that you are amongst the lucky ones. 

This Shower Jelly was: 100g: £3.50, 240g: £6.95.

I love Juicy Shampoo

I'm always on the look out for shampoos that will make my hair feel lovely, clean, bouncy and have some sort of volume. Now, I have fallen into that trap of washing my hair everyday - which I know is not as good for your hair, but I have short bobbed hair which gets greasy very quickly - even when I use to wash my hair twice/three times a week. However, I am always looking into the different shampoos that Lush offer - I am a fan of their Shampoo bars, the Daddy-O Shampoo and now my new discovery I love Juicy Shampoo. 

I love Juicy Shampoo 

This shampoo smells divine, so good that I could eat the entire bottle. I grabbed this bottle, after reading up about it's use for greasy/oily hair. What it does for it, so that it becomes bouncy and cleaner. 

As I have mentioned above, I suffer with greasy hair and I am always trying to find ways in order to control the grease/oil build up. As I wash my hair everyday, usually with other shampoos, but I wanted something to use once a week in order to control the oil/product build up in my hair. This shampoo has definitely done that. 

This product contains: Lemon Oil, Freshly Juiced Papaya, Fine Sea Salt, Carrageenan Extract, Sweet Orange Oil, Fresh Pineapple Juice, Fresh Kiwi Juice and Fresh Mango Juice. With all the fruit this product contains, the enzymes of the fruit clean and dissolve away grease and the product build up that occurs in the hair. 

I love how my hair feels after it has been washed with this shampoo. I find it easier to manage, I do not have to use a lot of hair styling tools on it, as well as I do not have to condition my hair after washing it - which is amazing. I feel like my hair has a lot more volume to it, looks bouncy and also there is very little I need to do it in order to make it look like I have spend hours styling it. Also, have I mentioned it smells incredible. 

I would definitely recommend this if you are struggling with greasy/oily hair or product build up in your hair - then using this once a week or twice a week, your hair will start to feel normal, softer and bouncy! When I visit a Lush next, I will be getting a bigger size. 

For this Shampoo: 100g: £5.50, 250g: £10.95 & 500g: £17.95 - it might also be available at Lush Oxford Street in 1kg Bottles, but I am not sure of the price.

Dirty Deal Showder

I love the fact that Lush create products in order to give back to different charities. It is a creative and brilliant way of us as Lushies, getting a new product - as well as the charities receiving all the money from the sale of the products. This time around Lush have created a new Showder, working alongside Climate Revolution and War on Want as well the box being designed by Vivienne Westwood. 

Dirty Deal Showder 

The entire aim of creating and selling this Showder is to create awareness of TTIP - which stands for The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. This is a proposed free-trade agreement between the European Union and the United States. This could affect everything from our income, the food we eat and the current state of our NHS system. For more information on the cause:

In regards to the actual Showder - it amazing. On first sight, when you pour it out of the box it appears a pinky/red shade but when water is added it turns a lovely purple shade. Then when it is appeal to the skin, it makes your feel silky soft. When Lush introduced Showders, when they launched Lush Oxford Street, I was not sure about them, and did not understand the point when there is already - shower gels, soaps and jellies. However, when I started to explore them, I realised that they not only wash your skin but also exfoliate leaving it soft and all the dead cells gone. 

This product contains: Cornflour, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Bergamot Oil and Rose Oil. At first I was not sure about the scent, but since using the product, I have fallen in love with the scent. When I use it, I really do smell the Rose and Bergamot Oil - which create a subtle floral scent - which is not overpowering nor is it sickly. 

The only downsize to this product, is the packaging. I do not like the cardboard packaging to the boxes as it makes it awkward to use this in the shower/bath. I wish they would have put it into the black tubs that they use for the other body scrubs/masks/cleansers, as this would make this easier to use with wet hands. That my only problem with this product - the actual product inside it amazing. 

For this Showder: £12.50. This product is limited edition, so get it while you can, and help a great cause.

Reformulated Brightside Bubble Bar

When I started using Lush, I stuck to one bubble bar - which was the Creamy Candy Bubble Bar - but once I got use to the products and realised that my skin did not react to the ingredients I moved on to the other amazing products Lush had to offer. I love the bubble bars - so obviously I moved on to trying the other types. The second bubble bar I tried was Brightside Bubble Bar - and funnily enough was the first bubble bar I brought my sister when I tried to get her into Lush products, and as you know it worked! 

Brightside Bubble Bar

Brightside, is one of the bubble bars, just like The Comforter, Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds, Supertramp - slightly bigger in size, allowing for more baths that just one - which some of the smaller bubble bars only allow for. With the bigger bubble bars you can get 4 or sometimes even 5 baths out of them. 

With the launch of Lush Oxford Street in April this year - the old favourites such as The Comforter, Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds and Brightside had a makeover. Lush improved the formulation of products - improving on the scent, colour and overall appeal of the product. So, what does this mean?

This means, that when you crumble either part of the bar or if you are that way inclined the ENTIRE bar, you will get a strong smell as well as a stronger coloured bath, and in my opinion loads more bubbles. 

Since using the reformulated bubble bar, I have found that yes, it is better than the old version. When using in the bathtub, I have found that it leaves your skin feeling more moisturised, softer as well the overall feeling of being fresher - and I do like a bath that leaves me feeling fresh - which I think is the overall idea of having a bath in the first place. 

This bubble bar contains: Mandarin Oil, Tangerine Oil, Bergamot Oil and Gardenia Extract. Overall, this smells to me of orange goodness, but not sickly sweet orange scented, but that fresh, just picked orange scent - which is amazing to bath in. 

If you are just starting off with Lush, or thinking about starting to use the bubble bars - then I would recommend getting a bubble bar like Brightside - as it is definitely worth the money and also if you are good at sparing it - you can get quite a lot of baths out of it. 

For this bubble bar: £4.75.
