LUSH Father Christmas Bath Bomb

Hello!

'Tis the season and all that so here is a little review of LUSH's ultimate festive bath bomb - Father Christmas*!

At first glance this bath bomb doesn't look exciting or anything special, little Santas face looks like he's been stuck in the snow for a while and knackered from making all those toys, but once it's in the bath theres an awesome festive treat:

It's Bright Greeen!!

The novelty of coloured baths does not wear thin on me one bit so as soon as I dropped him in the hot water and he started fizzing out green I was so excited for my neon bath!

Not only does it suprise you with the cool colour change it also have tons of bubbles too which most bath bombs don't produce - maybe it's his wicked beard?

The smell is basically Snow Fairy which is the most popular LUSH product ever, people literally buy tons of bottles in the 3 months it's around for. I usually wait until the Boxing Day sale and grab a small bottle for myself. I love the scent, it's sickly and it's sweet but it does grate on me after a while as I prefer deeper scents. But for this bath bomb the scent was like a lighter cotton candy version of Snow Fairy and was actually not that overpowering.

I also used my Miss Patisserie soap bar*, their website is all new and fancy now so I couldn't see it on there but I'm pretty sure it's a lavender based one and they have a lavender soap which is similar online now.

Have you tried any of the festive LUSH range yet?

LUSH Sparkly Pumpkin review

I'm all about the novelty of Halloween, if I can get it in a Halloween theme - I'm having it! Like I said in my Devil dress-up post I'm not really decorating this Halloween (I have a few lanterns and a banner up with some cobwebs) as it falls on a Friday and I'm off to a party this year so I won't be making mess with my own pumpkins! Be sure to check out my Instagram and Twitter for updates on my Halloween costume on Friday - It's not the Devil costume either ;) 

This year LUSH have bought out the Sparkly Pumpkin, it's very different to last years LUSH pumkin' bubble bar it's more sophisticated and I'd say so is the smell. This year the smell is more refreshing than Autumnal with Grapefruit, Lime and Juniper Berries. The bubble bar is also bigger so you can easily get two baths from this (but I like to crumble the whole bar) and the glitter is very subtle and doesn't get everywhere like some other bubble bars. 

As you can see it's an opaque orange colour with little flecks of gold glitter and super bubbly!

Have you tried any of the new Autumn/Winter Lush ranges yet?

Today I discovered my camera has a video function so was thinking of diving into the world of Vlogging, any tips?

Flower Baths - Lush vs. Miss. Patisserie.

I've been desperate to have a floral bath for such a while now, bathing surrounded by petals seems like a movie scene!

I went for a mini LUSH spree on pay-day and one of the fabulous Cardiff team showed me the new Easter Bubble Bar - Bunny! He was so cute I didn't want to squish him up for my bathtime however with promises of blue cornflowers inside I just had to jump in: 

LUSH Bunny Bubble Bar - £3.25
Little cutie!

I was a little dissapointed by the cornflowers are they were more like twigs and a couple of flowers. The smell was delish and very sweet plus the bath water was pink and the bubbles lasted for my whole bath and left me feeling silky smooth.

After I had used my LUSH Bunny I was introduced to a local brand named Miss. Patisserie. I was sent one of their fizzy bath balls which also creates a flower-bath:

Miss. Patisserie - Bunch of Roses £2.40*

Unlike lush's cornflowers this fizzy bath ball had full-on rose petals and tiny cassis this created the perfect floral bath! The fragrance lasted for so long I could smell it through my flat all evening. The fizz was also alot bubblier than LUSH's Bunny however the bubbles last about 10mins before the water cleared.

Like LUSH, Miss. Patisserie have super strict Animal Cruelty views and wont use any manufacturer/supplier who tests on animal and are all handmade. Plus they are Cardiff born and bred which is amazing! (but you can buy their products all over the world!) Now I'm bursting to try some more of their bath fizzes like Tropical Flowers and Intergalactic.

I loved having full size petals in my bath I felt so fancy! Have you ever tried one?

LUSH Santa's Lip Scrub review.

LUSH Santa's Lip Scrub - £5.50*

First up I have to comment on the smell of this scrub - coca cola! Delish! Smells like cola cubes.
I love the smell but the taste (I was told you lick it off) is kind of weird - maybe I'm just not used to using a lip scrub yet. I've never used one before but they definitely do their job, after rubbing the product on followed by the lick off my lips feel instantly smoother as all the chapped, dry skin gets a pasting.

This product is great for Winter and perfect for using before applying a lipstick so your lips are soft and smooth with no dry skin ruining your application.

There are tiny little edible hearts sprinkled on the top aswell which look cute but kind of annoyed me as they were only decoration and def not needed!

Have you tried a LUSH Lip Scrub before?

P.S - I will be announcing the winner of my giveway tomorrow :)
