A Teeny Tiny LUSH Haul ♡


So I've been feeling a little under the weather this past week or so. There's this nasty cold-virus thing going around (as always around this time of year) and I managed to contract it thanks to mother-dearest. It's always such fun being ill! Anywho, I managed to pop into town this weekend for a little fresh air and thought I'd treat myself to a few goodies from LUSH to perk me up. Who doesn't enjoy a bit of pampering?

What I got...

♡ Shoot for the Stars Bath Ballistic (Christmas Collection) - £3.50
"Paint the swirling colours of the night sky over the surface of your bathwater with this multi-coloured bath bomb. Drop this in your bathwater and watch it shoot around the bath releasing multiple colours before leaving a trail of quicksilver. As the spinning and swirling orb comes to a standstill, enjoy the sweet scent found in Honey I Washed The Kids and the calming, shimmering midnight blue water."
I think it's safe to say that I'm already in the festive spirit. It was so hard not to pick up every item in the Christmas collection but I managed to hold myself back! I figured if I waited just a bit longer I wouldn't ruin the xmas atmos for myself and I could purposely go Christmas bath-bomb hunting in a month or so. This smells GORGEOUS and I'm so excited to try it out! I've never purchased any festive-edition items from LUSH so it's pretty exciting trying something new! You can check it out here if you're interested.


♡ Twilight Bath Ballistic - £3.35
"If sleep is evading you, this combination of essential oils will help get you ready for a good night's rest. As Twilight dissolves, it turns from the colour of the setting sun and gets darker, turning your water a shimmering deep purple. The fragrance has been designed to help you sleep: lavender is a soothing, mind-clearing and calming fragrance, used in aromatherapy to treat insomnia and aid restful sleep, while benzoin and tonka call to mind a milky caramel malt drink."
I have purchased this a few times before. I was debating whether I should get this or not when another customer noticed me oogling at it (how awkward) and came over and told me it was of her absolute favourites and that I wouldn't be disappointed with it. Of course I didn't mention that I had tried it before but her enthusiasm for it made my mind up and into the basket it went! This is a lovely bath bomb that gradually turns into a beautiful, deep evening purple with little specks of shimmer acting as little stars - gorgeous! It's the perfect thing for a hot bath in the evening as it helps you unwind and get all cosy before bed. You can check it out on LUSH's website here.


♡ Space Girl Bath Ballistic - £2.35
"A space-dust filled bath bomb with a sweet and fruity fragrance. Once you drop this into your bath, Space Girl crackles with space dust (popping candy) as it spins around your orbit, restoring your good cheer. Grapefruit oil is refreshing and uplifting for the mood, clarifying and toning the skin, while bergamot makes you feel relaxed and cheerful."
I can't believe I've never purchased this before. I've bought it for my sister in the past and she absolutely loved it so I thought I'd pick it up and try it out for myself. This smells so fruity and girly - perfect for young girls and teens alike! Or for anyone who loves sweet fruity fragrances. I'm a bit of a child at heart so I was delighted when I discovered it has POPPING CANDY inside it halfway through writing this post *childish squeal*! I think this may possibly be a new favourite - it smells absolutely beautiful and I can see myself purchasing it again.You can check it out here if it tempts you.


That pretty much sums up my miniature haul. I find LUSH bath bombs so comforting and cosy, especially around this time of year. I'm looking forward to having a series of nice hot baths soon - I'm definitely starting out with 'Shoot for the Stars'.

My living room smells delicious right now. Thought you might like to know.

Lush-ious Bath Bombs ♡


Ladies (and gents)! 

So.. I figured that four bath bombs don't really amount to a "haul" but what the heck! I'ma do this post anyway!

I don't know about where you are, but it has been such gorgeous spring-y weather here the past few days and it sort of lured me into taking a little stroll during my lunch hour at work. Obviously, I just ended up at Lush *gulp* but fortunately I was rather tame with buying things! I felt like treating myself to a little pampering so I picked up a few yummy smelling bath bombs so I could have lovely relaxing baths in the evenings. Because that's what females do.

Enough with the waffling - let's get on to the goodies!

 Sex-Bomb Bath Ballistic 
 Avobath Bath Ballistic 
 Fizzbanger Bath Ballistic 
 Blackberry Bath Bomb Bath Ballistic 
 Charity Pot Hand & Body Lotion 

Sex Bomb
"Sex Bomb is sensual bath bomb to improve your mood - or put you in the right one.
When you’ve got that feeling - tired, stressed out and anxious - you need some sensual healing. The fragrant blend of jasmine, ylang ylang and clary sage will soon have you relaxed and feeling in the mood..."
This is my all-time FAVOURITE bath bomb. It turns my entire bath a gorgeous shade of pink and the smell lingers on my skin even once I've showered down. It smells absolutely DELICIOUS and I know it's loved by so many girls and is constantly raved about. The cute little flower is made out of rice paper, and even though it doesn't dissolve in the bath water it's still a really nice decorative touch.

Avobath
"A bright green citrus bath bomb to cheer the spirits and feed thirsty skin.
Avobath in the morning to help you face the day: its lemongrass and bergamot oils will pick you up while also tackling dryness with avocado and olive oil. It contains lustre, which gives a shimmering green effect to the water, but will leave your skin feeling dazzling without the dazzle."
My dad expressed an interest in this bomb (lol) so I ended up giving it to him. It smells very citrus-y (like lemon and lime) and smells so fresh and fragrant. I have tried this in the past and absolutely loved it so I may pick another up for myself - the scent is to die for.

Fizzbanger
"A Catherine wheel of a bath bomb that whirls, crackles and fizzes around the tub and smells of spiced apple pie.
When your day is feeling flat, put some magic and sparkle back into your bathtime: this layered ballistic works like a Fizzbanger dream. It changes colour as it fizzes round the tub, crackling with popping candy as it goes and releasing an apple, cinnamon and petitgrain (bitter orange) scent with a hint of ylang ylang."
I've never actually tried this before but as with all other Lush bombs - it smells delicious and I can't wait to try it!

Blackberry Bath Bomb
"One of our originals and a bestseller, this fruit-and-musqué bath bomb helps wash away anxiety.
If you’re feeling anxious or restless, the frankincense and bergamot oils in Blackberry Bath Bomb will help you think straight. Perfect with Sultana of Soap, which shares the same blackberry and musqué fragrance."
This bath bomb is quite cute and simple. It smells very relaxing and feminine and turns your entire tub a pretty purple. Would definitely recommend it if you're wanting to relax and pamper yourself as it really helps you feel calm and cosy.

Charity Pot Hand & Body Lotion
Not a bath bomb - evidently. I sort of randomly got this through a "donate-a-pound" thing. I have wrestled with this tin and it just won't open. Shame really.. Just a small sample of a hand and body lotion. Cant really say much else as I've neither tried, smelt or even seen it. A little bit of a pointless hand-out.

And that is all folks! A tiny "haul" I know but I figured since winter is approaching it's end I would share some of the comforts the season brings. I suggest you all go and spoil yourselves and make the most of hot bubbly baths whilst you can!

See you soon! x
