A Lush-ous Christmas

Christmas is definitely one of my favourite times of year. Not just because of the usual reasons; the family, the food, the presents and the celebrations. Another of my favourites at Christmas is bath time.

Father Christmas (aka the boy) tends to spoil me in the form of bath bombs and shower gels every year, and this year was no different.

I received so many of my Lush favourites for Christmas this year as well as some new products I had been wanting to try out.

The first thing I opened was the Butterbear Gift Tin. The Butterbear ballistic became a favourite of mine a few years ago. I will admit I originally only bought it for it’s cute face as I am normally drawn to very strong, and usually sweet, scents. The tin contained 6 bears, that will last me a very long time as I usually break the bear up into 2 or 3 and put it in the bath with another part of a sweeter bath bomb. I also received a butterball bath bomb with this.

I then opened another gift - Santa’s Belly – this was a giant bauble decorated like a Santa suit. Inside the bauble there was a tub of Santa’s belly shower jelly and a packet of red fun. I love both of these products although I use the shower jelly as a body wash when I am in the bath.

I also received A LOT of Fun from Lush this year as it is one of my all time favourite products they sell. I received fun in Santa, Snakes And Ladders, Sea Monsters and Monsters And Aliens. I really love Fun as it is exactly that! I always break a little bit off and run it under the water to create bubbles and a silky smooth bath. It can then be used as shampoo or body wash as well as being mouldable so can be used as bath friendly plastercine.

Alongside big presents I was also lucky enough to receive some one-off items. I was debating buying Milky Bath when I saw it in the Oxford Street store but decided against it so was happy to see this wrapped up. Another first time try is the Dragons Egg bath bomb. Unfortunately, this had been broken in the post so I will not see the full effect when I put it in the bath but the scent is strong and the videos on the website look amazing.

Something I had been meaning to repurchase myself was The Comforter shower gel, I bought a small bottle of this from the Oxford Street store in August and had already repurchased another small bottle since then. The boy had obviously taken note and bought me one of the biggest bottles so hopefully this one will last a lot longer.

Waves is a new Lush product that I didn’t know about. When I opened it, it looked a lot like a block of soap but smelt like another solid shampoo bar I loved, Seanik. I have used Waves almost every time I have washed my hair since Christmas day and absolutely love it. I will definitely be repurchasing this.

I have been spreading my love of Lush for a while now and the boy’s niece has been wanting to go to Oxford Street to check out the Lush store. I have made plans to take her during the school holidays so we bought her a gift card to spend. Knowing I would also want to buy so many things, the boy had put a gift card in my presents so I can treat myself when we are there as well.

I know I have been massively spoilt with all of these presents from Lush and couldn’t be more grateful to the boy for this HUGE haul this year and am already counting down the days until I go to London and can re stock.

What are your favourite Lush products? Give me ideas of what to purchase when I next visit the Oxford Street store.
