My guilty pleasure

There are two types of people in life, those that absolutely love Lush, and those that cannot stand it. 

There's no inbetween.

I am lucky enough to be one of those people that are inlove with the shop and its products (if you couldnt tell, the 'lucky' part was sarcasm because i spend fortunes in this place). Everytime i visit my local shopping centre I automatically visit the shop. Over the christmas period i had a second job working at the ice rink in the shopping centre, and no word of a lie, at the end of every shift or during my breaks i would visit the shop. In my defense, you had to walk past it to get to the food court or exit so its not my fault i was always drawn to it. It got so bad that some of the staff that worked there actually new my name, how ridiculous is that. 

Its now coming to the end of january, so most of the products i bought have been used. However i still have quite a collection left so i thought i would share my thoughts and favourites with you in case you were interested. Alot of the products are also from the christmas range so they are not available all year round, this is probably a good thing for me otherwise its another reason to spend more money.

(i hope you appreciate how long it took me to find all the names of the products because i rip most of the packaging up and store it all in plastic bags)

This is my little tin i use to keep as many of the products in. The lid doesnt actually shut anymore so i just leave the lid off.

This is the 'Magic Wand Bubble Bar' and is only available at christmas time which sucks. In the picture i have taken it has actually been half used which is why it looks all crumbly and small, but when you first buy it, its alot bigger. It smells quite sweet and is very refreshing. To use this you simply swish it around in the bath and this creates bubbles and leaves your bath a lovely pink colour which is so exciting. If you cant tell, i love it. Another bonus is that you dont have to use it all at once, so you can save it for another day.

 This is the 'Sweetie Pie' shower jelly and is supper fun in the shower or bath. It is literally the consistency of jelly so it is really slippery when you use it, which can become quite challenging to wash with. I think it really smells of blackberries; its so fresh and it has glitter inside it which leaves you with a lovely, glittery glow. Its RRP is £3.25 for 100g of the jelly, and it lasts forever (ive had mine for about six months now and still have about half left).

 Now this picture is kind of useless for you because i dont actually know what is is called, i dont even think they sell it anymore. Its a little soap bar and smells of lavender. It was one of my first purchases from Lush, and looking back it is so boring compared to their other products. It does smell good and has lasted me forever. I think it cost around £2 so it was very cheap, but i can't find it anywhere on their website.

 This is a glitter bar called 'Shimmy Shimmy', and the clue is in the name. This picture does not do it much justice, but it is so glittery and you simply rub it on your skin to leave you with a glittery, nice smelling body. The smell isnt too strong either, its quite simple and reminds me of cocoa. I have had it for over a year now and it wont seem to run out, no matter how much i try it just wont end which is a really good thing. Its RRP is £4.50 which does seem quite a bit compared to the other products, but it never runs out so its totally worth it.

This little beauty is called 'Snow fairy massage bar' and is so perfect. It is very sweet and quite strong, and melts at skin temperature. You rub it over your body and it melts and hydrates your skin, but it does leave a pinky colour so maybe take a bath after. It also has a lovely creamy centre which is like a buttery type substance, and you finish your massage by rubing that over you. I received one for christmas and after using it i had to buy a second, but i am saving it for a later date as it is a part of the christmas range. I think it was between £2-4 i cant remember (sorry!)

 Here is a 'FUN' bar and is part of Lush's new range. It is literally like putty/playdough, and is so much fun. You break little pieces off a rub it over you which leaves you smelling gorgeous. They have a range of smells, the red one smells quite like oranges and is my favourite out of all of them. They can also be used as a hair wash, but im a bit too scared to try that yet as it seems weird to rub playdough over my head, if anyone has tried please let me know your thoughts! The RRP is £5 which i think is very reasonable as they are quite big and last a while.

 'Tiny Hands' is a hand cream in the form of a bar; you rub it betwen your hands and it does start to melt and hydrate your skin. It is very lightley scented and made of shea butter. The thing i love about this bar is that it doesnt leave your hands greasy like most hand moisturisers do, it just makes them soft. I also really suffer from dry skin on my hands, so this bar works wonders for me. Its RRP is £4.25 which i think is very well priced as it lasts a long time.

These are three of my favourite soap bars and are also the most popular i think. They smell so amazing and are literally used like normal soap, so its nice to have a change from all of the crazy products and have a simple, easy product. 

The bottom, purple bar is called 'The Godmother' which i think is a really strange name. It has a very sweet scent to it and almost smells of pears.I think it cost me £2.35 but it depends how big the bar you get is (i obviously bought a massive one)

The middle pink bar is called 'Rockstar' and has a very creamy/vanillery/lavendery kind of smell to it. I think its actually made of vanilla beans which is what gives it the strong smell. Apparently it is paired with the 'snow fairy' massage bar as they are both the same smells. This bar cost me £2.10 as again i bought a big sized bar, but they are fairley cheap to buy considering this has lasted me about a year now. 

The top bar is definitely my favourite, but i dont actually know the name of it?! It was bought as a gift for me for christmas, but i have looked on the website and i cant find it so i think it was a part of the christmas stock. It smells so gorgeous, its very sweet and very strong, so it may not be for people who cant handle stronger smells as i can see how it could give some people a headache. Its quite citrus-y and vanillery, its like a mix of all of the soaps.

These are just some of my favourite products from Lush, but i do need to take a visit to the shop again as i havnt been in far too long. 

I hope you liked this post, there will probably be many more to come as like i previously said, i love the place. I also hope i insipred you to go out and experience the amazingness of lush, but it does become addictive!
