Lush Haul Part 2//Bubble Bars♥!

Part 2 of my Lush Haul is about bubble bars, they are my favourite type of product to get from Lush! You can get multiple baths from one bar by crumbling a small piece under running water. This is probably the longest part of my haul. Hope you enjoy:-)!

Bubble Bars♥!

The Comforter - £4.75

This is my all time favourite product from Lush (along with Brightside)! It just smells amazing like having a bath in Ribena! I normally get about 6 or 7 baths from one bar! It has Cassis Absolute which give it the blackcurrant scent & it is super moisturising!

Brightside - £4.75

I absolutely love the scent of this it's an amazing citrusy scent with mandarin, bergamot & tangerine essential oils it smells just like fresh oranges! 

Creamy Candy - £2.75

If you have dry skin I'd highly recommend this, it is more moisturising than anything I've tried before. It has a blend of almond and cocoa butter with almond oil and butter chunks that make your bath water super moisturising. It smells really sweet like Snow Fairy!

Christmas Eve - Christmas Limited Edition 

I haven't had a chance to try this yet but the scent of this is amazing, is is quite a relaxing floral scent with jasmine and ylang ylang it would be perfect for a nice relaxing bubble bath!

Blue Skies & Fluffy White Clouds - £4.75 

I picked this up in the Boxing Day sale online, I haven't had a chance to try this yet & I'm not so sure on the scent as it's quite a strong spicy one. 

The Christmas Penguin - Christmas Limited Edition 

This is the cutest! It's apparently Inspired by the smallest penguins in the world found on Philip Island in Australia. It has a sweet fruity floral scent with orange flower, bergamot, Sicilian mandarin and lemon oil.

Candy Mountain - Christmas Limited Edition 

This is like Snow Fairy, Creamy Candy & The Comforter mixed together it makes your skin really soft and gives you pink sparkly bath water! I'd love this to be an all year round product!

Yuzu and Cocoa Bubbleroon - £3.65

To me this smells exactly like a Bounty chocolate bar! It has Coconut Oil and Shea Butter which are extremely moisturising and amazing for your skin. With bubbleroons I use half at a time so I get two uses.

Green Bubbleroon - £3.65

I am addicted to the scent of this! To me it smells just like sweet lime, I wish there were more products with the same scent. It has Shea butter to make your skin soft & it really does, this would be great for people with dry skin.

Sunnyside - £3.75

I am in love with this! It's Gold, glittery & smells like Oranges & Lemons! What more could you want?! I get 4 uses from this and a tiny piece creates lots of glittery bubbles! 

Drummers Drumming - Christmas Limited Edition

This is a reusable bubble bar that you just swirl round the water or hold under the running tap, to me it's got a light floral scent & is nice and relaxing.

Magic Wand - Christmas Limited Edition

This smells exactly like snow fairy, nice and sweet like candy floss. It makes your bath a nice pale pink colour and is also very moisturising!

Lush Haul Part 1//Bath Bombs♥!

Most of the things you'll see here are what I got as presents at Christmas & some of which I bought myself, I wanted to include most of them, so I'll be splitting it up into categories so it's not too long & boring, some are limited edition so are no longer available, hope you enjoy:-)

Bath Bombs♥

Sakura - £3.35

This is such a pretty bath bomb, is has a really fresh/floral fragrance which I don't normally go for but its not too strong or overpowering. It's apparently inspired by the Cherry Blossom in Japan.

Golden Wonder - Christmas Limited Edition

I love this bath bomb! It's so moisturising and it has hidden surprises! When you shake it you can hear a slight jingle from inside like a real present! It smells slightly citrusy and has gold lustre!

So White - Christmas Limited Edition

This smells just like apples! Inspired by Snow White, it looks a bit boring but it's pink inside! It's really relaxing & moisturising I wish I'd bought more!

 Luxury Lush Pud - Christmas Limited Edition

I can't really think what this smells like, it's supposed to smell like Lavender but I don't think it does. It looks amazing when it's fizzing away in the bath though! It's also really relaxing & looks like a colourful Christmas pudding!

Shoot For The Stars - Christmas Limited Edition 

I really wish that this was a permanent product! It has a toffee/caramel scent and is sparkly! Amazing! It turns your bath water dark blue with silver glitter!

Father Christmas - Christmas Limited Edition 

This has a very similar scent to Snow Fairy it's so cute & I thought it wasn't going to do much but it's green inside! I used this with the comforter bubble bar and they went together amazingly!

Sex Bomb - £3.35

I think this is so good for a relaxing bath, it has really light floral scent and turns your bath water a really nice light pink colour, it is even better when paired with Rose Jam.

Dashing Santa - Christmas Limited Edition 

This is quite a small bath bomb but it's really moisturising, it has a really fruity scent and has gold & white lustre!

Cinders - Christmas Limited Edition 

I think this is an amazing bath bomb, it's really small but so good! It smells just like Christmas, it has cinnamon, orange oil & almond essential oil along with sea salt and popping candy! It's also super moisturising!

Lush Oatifix Fresh Face Mask | ♥

Lush Oatifix - £6.50 75g (lush.co.uk)

I love face masks! But there are soo many different ones to try, I can never really find one that agrees with my skin as it's sensitive and hardly anything agrees with it! So when I tried this I was so happy it's perfect for my skin. It smells amazing too, I think it smells like a mixture of porridge & cookie dough (yum!). It's really gentle for the skin it has banana in it to help moisturise, and oatmeal & ground almonds to gently exfoliate. It also work great for dry skin! I'd really recommend this to anyone, I'm currently trying out Mask of Magnaminty from Lush which is great so far:-) 

You can see how Oatifix is made on the Lush YouTube channel here; http://youtu.be/7pNGkhB-PVA

Current Favourites | ♥

These have been some of my favourite products in November/early December♥

Agave healing oil treatment - £16 (60ml)

            (Birchbox.co.uk)         - £27 (120ml)

I've never really been a fan of oil for my hair as I'm always scared of putting too much on and making it greasy but this is really easy as you only need a 5p sized drop for all of your hair. It smells amazing, makes my hair really soft and shiny. You can also use this as a super hydrating body oil. 

The Body Shop strawberry beautifying oil - £9 100ml (thebodyshop.co.uk)

This is similar to the product above it has the same uses and is equally as amazing, maybe a bit more affordable if you want to spend a little less. It also comes in a range of scents including; coconut, pink grapefruit, satsuma, mango & more!

Dr Jart+ water act skin mist - £18 150ml (birchbox.co.uk) 

I've been using this after cleansing and moisturising & it just makes your skin feel so clean & fresh, it helps to absorb your moisturiser quicker! I would also recommend the Dr Jart+ premium beauty balm (boots.com) I think both of those products are amazing!

Lush Eyes Right Mascara - £12 5g (lush.co.uk)

I love trying new mascaras, so of course I had to try one from Lush. Usually I get quite irritated & itchy eyes from normal mascaras as I have quite sensitive eyes but this one is totally different, it's a really gentle one which has wheat grass in it. I think the fact that it's quite a natural formula helps with my sensitive eyes & it has a great brush! 

Lush comforter shower gel (lush.co.uk/kitchen)

My favourite ever Lush product is The Comforter bubble bar, so when I seen this I knew I had to get it! It smells exactly the same as the bubble bar & I just want to eat it!This is currently unavailable as i got it from The Lush Kitchen. They Make exclusive products that are available for a maximum of 21 days. They change their menu daily and make small batches everyday, as soon as the kitchen have finished making your product it gets sent to you so it's the freshest you can get!

My haircare favourites | ♥

These are some of my haircare favourites, things I use all the time and others that I use less frequently but are still amazing!

Shampoo;

Lush Big Shampoo - £12.25 330g (lush.co.uk)

This shampoo is packed full of great ingredients like course sea salt, seaweed, coconut oil, lemon & lime. The sea salt is great at giving volume and cleansing while the coconut oil and seaweed softens the hair. The lemon & lime also help to give the hair a great shine! I go between Big, Timotei Pure & Tresemmé Keratin Smooth 7 day shampoo.

Conditioner;

Tresemme 7 Day Smooth Conditioner - £5.99 250ml (boots.com)

I try to use this conditioner with its matching shampoo, but it still works amazing with any. It really helps to combat frizzy hair and makes your hair so soft! As with all Tresemme products it smells great too! The keratin is heat activated so works when you straighten your hair. I go between this, Timotei pure conditioner & Lush american cream!

Hair Masks;

Embelleze Rio Brazilian Keratin - £24.99 1kg (beautybyzara.com)

I got this little 100g sample in a Glossybox and honestly it's the best thing I've ever used for my hair! I use it once a week or once a fortnight, depending on what I've been using on my hair e.g if I've  been using the Tresemme shampoo/conditioner I don't use this. It's amazing to sort out dry colour damaged hair & frizz, you can also use it as a normal conditioner. After mine is finished though I don't know if I can justify spending £25 on a tub, but it is amazing! 

Hair Treatments;

Vo5 Miracle Concentrate Elixir - £5.19 50ml (boots.com)

I use this if I'm not using a hair mask, I just add a couple of small drops to my hair after I've washed it and it makes it feel so soft and repairs any split ends. It's got Argan Oil in it which is really nourishing for the hair and gives it an amazing shine! It also smells amaaazing!

Aussie Miracle Recharge Colour Leave-In Conditioner - £4.49 250ml (boots.com)

I rarely use heat on my hair as I leave it to dry naturally most of the time & I have to wear it up for work so there is no point in straightening it, but when I do use heat I love this Aussie spray. It of course smells amazing like all of the Aussie products but it's great for soft feeling hair whilst being a heat protector at the same time! Aussie products are currently 3 for £10 at boots!

Finishing products;

Toni&Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray - £7.49 200ml (boots.com)

I love this salt spray for if I'm doing wavy hair, spray it on plaits if I am going to take them out to get waves or if I just want a nice messy look. 

For hairspray I love Aussie Miracle Hairspray Shine + Hold - £3.99 (boots.com)  or Number 4 Non Aerosol Hairspray - £18.50 (birchbox.co.uk) I know there is a big price difference but I find that the aerosol free hairsprays last a lot longer than any others and doesn't give you that horrible crispy finish!

Of course it wouldn't be a hair post without mentioning tangle teezers! They are the best thing you will ever buy and won't regret it! For more about them you can visit my recent post about them here; http://t.co/GHrnnwvaAd    

If i'm dying my hair i'll use L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss in 454 Chocolate Brownie or 360 Black Cherry - i can never decide if i want red or brown hair so i always go between these two colours! I've tried a lot of different colours and brands and i love L'Oreal the most!

I hope this helps anyone who wants to give any new hair products a try!

Lush Christmas | ♥

I LOVE Lush a lot, and I love Christmas a lot so both together is the best! I bought some things from Lush recently so here are a few! (All from lush.co.uk)

The Christmas Penguin bubble bar - £3.25

Bubble bars are probably my favourite products ever from Lush, because you can get more than one bath out of them. This cute little penguin has a citrusy scent & has mandarin and lemon oils in it.

The Christmas Hedgehog bubble bar - £3.25

This bubble bar has Shea & cocoa butter packed in which are super moisturising, it also has some sparkles on the hedgehog's spikes! It has quite a woody/floral scent probably from the rose in it.

Christmas Eve bubble bar - £2.95 

This has the perfect relaxation scent! It smells just like flowers, and it has Jasmine in it which is a relaxing smell to me. Love the price of this too as you will get a lot of baths from it!

Candy Mountain bubble bar - £2.75

This is by far my favourite Christmas product that I bought and amazingly priced. It smells like my all time fave Lush products Creamy Candy & The Comforter in one and it has shimmer! What more can I ask for? 

The Melting Snowman bath melt - £2.25

This little snowman smells just like Christmas! He has a christmas spice/cinnamon scent with almond oil & cocoa butter to moisturise the skin!

Snow Fairy shower gel - £3.75 (100g)

This shower gel has a very sweet scent and has little sparkles in it! I think it smells exactly like Lush bubblegum lip scrub (yum!). It also has seaweed to make your skin extra soft!

Baked Alaska soap - £3.25 (100g) 

This soap has an amazing citrusy scent, it has coconut oil in it which is amazing for your skin. The full wheel/ball soap is made to look like a giant snowball!

Reindeer Rock soap - £3.10 (100g)

This has one of those scents that you can't really think what is smells like. But I think it smells like The Comforter bubble bar mixed with berrries. The full wheel of soap has lots of cute silver sparkly reindeer on the top.

Yog Nog soap - £3.40 (100g)

This smells good enough to eat! It's scent is like a mixture between chocolate, caramel & fudge! It's super moisturising and I'd say it would be great for dry skin! The full wheel of soap looks like a giant Christmas cookie!

I hope everyone gets the opportunity to try something Christmassy from Lush!

Tangle Teezers | ♥

Tangle Teezers are probably one of the best things I've ever bought! Since my hair has gotten longer it is a lot more tuggy & knotty. These are literally pain free when trying to untangle your hair! 

Tangle Teezer Aqua Splash - £13.99 (boots.com)

This is my favourite Tangle Teezer, it's for when your hair is wet. I use it when I have conditioner on so I can make sure it's even all over my hair. Then once I've towel dried my hair I use it again, my hair is usually really knotty and tangled by this point. This untangles your hair with absolutely no pain!

Tangle Teezer Original - £10.99 (boots.com)

I use this Tangle Teezer instead of a normal hairbrush, it is just like the others at untangling - pain free! It makes your hair feel so soft and looks so glossy!

Tangle Teezer compact brush - £12.49 (boots.com)

This is a great size for your handbag, it also has a protective cover so that the plastic teeth don't get damaged or bent in your bag. It's also amazing at detangling your hair like the rest!

On boots.com you can also get the Tangle Teezer Magic Flowerpot (£13.49) for kids! It gently detangles hair like the rest do and it has a storage compartment to store hair bobbles & accessories! 

I think everyone definitely needs a Tangle Teezer in their life!!
