#AD | Time To Treat Yourself To Some Self Care After A Day Of Epic Adventures | How To Train Your Dragon X Lush

Hey everyone! 

 Welcome to a brand new blog post! I was kindly sent some of the How To Train Your Dragon X Lush Collaboration Range by the lovely team at Lush so I thought that today I would talk to you all about the range! 

Toothless Bath Bomb (£7)

It's time to fly into a warm bath! 

List Of Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cornstarch, Spearmint Oil, Cream of Tartar, Water, Titanium Dioxide, Popping Candy, Talc, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Alcohol Denat., PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Tin Oxide, Limonene, Perfume, Colour 77499, Colour 42053, Colour 45410, Colour 47005, Colour 17200, Colour 42090:2, Colour 42090, Colour 77288, Colour 45410:2, Colour 77491, Colour 59040, Colour 45350.

Toothless is here to make your bath journey that little bit extra special. This bath bomb contains Popping Candy which creates the ultimate bathing experience by making your bath crackle and pop. 

Toothless has a sort of swirled  Mint and Vanilla fragrance to it due to the inclusion of Spearmint Oil and other goodies that kind of remind me of when you get a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream with your dessert topped with Mint. The Mint develops and blooms on the bath making it feel like you're relaxing on an ice cool spring relaxing after a long day of adventuring and battling. 

If you're a big fan of bath art when it comes to selecting bath bombs at Lush then you will definitely want to grab a Toothless Bath Bomb as the bath art that they create is truly mesmerising. I won't spoil it for you but the visual art that comes with Toothless Bath Bomb is truly magical and definitely will make your day feel a little bit better if you've had a tiring day! 

Toothless Tail Soap (£5)

The soap that will definitely last the tail of time. 

List Of Ingredients: 

Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil, Fresh Mint Infusion, Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Water, Perfume, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Spearmint Oil, Activated Charcoal, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Calcium Carbonate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tin Oxide, Limonene, Colour 77499, Colour 77491, Colour 14700, Colour 17200. 

Not only does this Soap look stunning with its dark and mysterious shift of colours but also smells amazing too. Like the Tootoess Bath Bomb, this soap has a fresh mint scent with a slightly creamy Vanilla backnote but as there is Fresh Mint Infusion in this soap alongside the Spearmint Oil that is also in the Toothless Bath Bomb, the Mint note is slightly more prevalent within this product. If you're a fan of scents from Lush such as Dirty then I think that this soap will definitely be for you. 

I've been using Toothless Tail Soap for a while now. I love the addition of Activated Charcoal in this soap as it ensures that all the dirt and grime from my hands and body is completely banished. 

I've been using this during the heatwave that has occurred in the UK and it has honestly been a godsend for the hot weather and ensuring that I feel clean and refreshed. 

Astrid's Axe Bubble Bar (£12)

List Of Ingredients:

Sodium Carbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerine, Lauryl Betaine, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Rosemary Oil, Sage Oil, Green Mandarin Oil , Cornstarch, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral, Limonene, Colour 42090:2, Colour 47005:1, Colour 77288, Colour 77491:1, Colour 77288, Colour 77491. 

We all need a good bath after a day of hard work and that's exactly what Astrid's Axe is here to do! 

As Astrid's Axe is on a stick the best way to use this bubble bar is to either use the axe to slice through the water in the tub whilst it's runnin or to hold it under the tap until your preferred amount of bubbles has formed. Some like a light bubbly bath, some like a bubbly bath that's full of frothy bubbles. Once your preferred amount has occurred, turn the tap off and place the amazing Axe on the side or on a soap dish to dry before using it again after your next adventure. 

This bubble bar contains a plethora of oils such as Sicilian Green Mandarin, Sicilian Lemon, Sage and Rosemary which combine to create a lovely fresh Blackcurrant scent with a blast of green notes behind it. This bubble bar shares the same scent as the Junk Perfume from Lush so if you're looking for a bathing product to go along with the gorgeous perfume then Astrid's Axe is the one for you. I love this bubble bar. I love anything Junk and I have forever been yearning for more products in the Junk scent from Lush. (Please give us a Junk Shower Gel!) 

Monstrous Nightmare Shower Gel (from £10)

List Of Ingredients: 

Glycerine, Fair Trade Organic Aloe Vera Gel, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Clove Leaf Oil, Lime Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil, Carrageenan Extract, Gardenia Extract, Cornstarch, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamal, Coumarin, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 14700, Colour 19140:1, Colour 19140, Colour 77491. 

A shower gel that will help your muscles relax after a long day? Sign me up! 

This shower gel to me screams dragon and Viking's by the amazing packaging, the fiery red colour of the shower gel itself and the scent of the superb shower gel. 

This shower gel contains an abundance of amazing oils. Monstrous Nightmare contains Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Lime Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil. These oils being to create a beautifully fiery and spicy scent with a slightly citrus undertone that to me gives off a sparkling background note that makes it feel like the spices are bubbling and frothing a tiny bit. If you are an avid Lushie then you may be happy to hear that Monstrous Nightmare shares the same scent as Glogg Shower Gel that has appeared in previous seasonal and Lush Kitchen ranges. 

Anyone that knows me will know that I adore spicy scents. I love anything and everything cinnamon centric or that has a cinnamon in it. When I first smelt this shower gel I instantly got a big hit of sweet cinnamon and that was from quickly smelling the bottle in the middle of the store. From that quick sniff, I knew that I would love this Shower Gel. 

Chief Stoick Beard and Hair Oil (£18) & Gobber's Comb (£10)

List Of Ingredients: 

Almond Oil, Organic Argan Oil, Black Jamaican Castor Oil, Organic Cold Pressed Grapeseed Oil, Fair Trade Organic Jojoba Oil, Perfume, Cold Pressed Organic Borage Oil, Coffee Oil, Tonka Absolute, Vetivert Oil, Tobacco Absolute, Vanilla Absolute, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, *Anise Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Benzyl Cinnamate, Benzyl Salicylate, Cinnamal, Citral, Coumarin, Eugenol, Isoeugenol, Limonene, Linalool.

Even the greatest of Vikings need something to tame their hair with! 

Lush have done various iterations of Beard products in the past in the form of naked solid products so when I heard that a packaged liquid hair and beard oil was coming as a part of this amazing collaboration range I was super intrigued. 

Chief Stoick can be used as both a hair oil to help keep hair tamed and hydrated or as a beard oil to keep facial hair in place or both. 

Chief Stoick contains Organic Argan Oil, Black Jamaican Castor Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Cold Pressed Borage Oil and Grapeseed to create a wonderful base for the product to hydrate every fibre of hair intensely. Did you know that Jojoba Oil is known for being  the most structurally and chemically close to your skins sebum? 

Chief Stoick contains Coffee Oil, Tonka Absolute, Vetivert Oil, Vanilla Absolute and Tobacco Absolute. These oils blend to create such a unique scent. The Vanilla and Tonka blend to create a creamy soft base which contrasts beautifully against the rest of the oils which blend to create a rich powerful smoky scent from the Coffee and Tobacco with a woody yet slightly herbal undertone that comes from the Vetivert. If you have tried the Hobana Bath Bomb from The Ippuku Dan Goft Set from Lush or the Lazy Oaf X Lush Body Spray and loved it then you will love this beard Oil as they both share a very similar scent to the Chief Stoick Beard and Hair Oil. 

As I said above, I was intrigued when I heard that there would be a Haor and Beard Pil on this Collaborations Range and boy did it not disappoint. I was also intrigued that this product contained Black Jamaican Castor Oil as I have heard that the castor Oil is known for its benefits such as strengthening thin hair, nourishing dry hair and promoting hair growth. I've been using the Oil for a while and have been loving it. My hair and facial hair have felt a lot more moisturised and healthy than it did before using the Oil. I have slowly been getting into Tobacco and Vetivert forward scents over the past year and forever loved Dear John from Lush that is quite Vetivert forward in my opinion  so I was super looking forward to seeing how this scent would be in a oil format and it is beautiful. The coffee comes out but doesn't dominate the scent and the Vetivert adds a beautiful note the scent. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you can pop to a Lush store near you and check it out. 

Alongside the Chief Stoick Hair and Beard Oil, you can grab Gobber's Colb which is a 100% recycled plastic hair and beard comb that helps to de tangle hair before applying the oil and can be used to style all hair! 

Hiccup Body Spray (£35)

List Of Ingredients:

Organic Alcohol Denat, Water, Perfume, Glycerine, Bergamot Oil, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool.

I adore Lush's Body Sprays so I was definitely excited to try Hiccup out. The main note in Hiccup is Bergamot and to me Bergamot reminds me of drinking Earl Grey Tea in the  garden on a warm day. I'm not entirely sure why but it does. Maybe as Bergamot is in Earl Grey Tea. 

This Body Spray does smell of citrus heavy yet slightly peppery Bergamot but to me it also has a sort of aquatic note to it which reminds me of being at the seaside too. I would definitely say that this is an amazing Body Spray for the Summer time or for anyone who loves a Summery scent. I am also considering it to take it and wear it when I next go to the seaside for the ultimate sort of Summer  adventure vibe. 

 I recently went into my local store and sprayed Big and Salty as when I've been trying out Hiccup it has slightly reminded me of both of these Body Sprays from Lush and I must say if you layer Big and Salty together you get a scent which feels like it fits on the family of what Hiccup smells like. If you can go to a Lush store then I would urge you to try this combination out on one arm and Hiccup on the other and see what you think of both. 

Regarding the longevity of Hiccup, to me it is amazing. I've been wearing it especially when I've needed to run errands for the day and meeting up with friends and I've noticed that I can still smell it quite strongly by the end of the day when I'm back home using Ultrabland and getting ready to settle down after a long day. 

Thank you so much to the wonderful team at Lush for sending me some of the items from the How To Train Your Dragon X Lush Range!

#AD | Don't Look At Me Fresh Face Mask from Lush Cosmetics

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post. I was recently kindly sent the Don't Look At Me Fresh Face Mask from Lush and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it.  

Ingredients: 

Kaolin, Fresh Organic Lemon Juice, Glycerine, Organic Rice Syrup, Ground White Rice, Organic Silken Tofu, Murumuru Butter, Bentone gel, Rice Milk, Grapefruit Oil, Neroli Oil, Water (Aqua), Citral, Farnesol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 42090

I have tried this Fresh Face Mask but it was a long while ago due to Lush releasing other fabulous Face Masks after Don't Look At Me so it was fabulous that I was retrying this one as it felt like I was trying it for the first time all over again. 

Lush Fresh Face Masks are designed to be kept refrigerated due to the plethora of the fresh ingredients that are in each of the fresh Face Masks. Each of the Fresh Face Masks including Don't Look At Me should be used within 28 days of receiving your Fresh Face Masks for the ultimate skincare experience! 

The smell of Don't Look At Me is amazing and hits you right in the face when you open thie lid. The Grapefruit and Neroli combine to create a truly delicious scent. I am a bit hesitant when it comes to Neroli as sometimes it can be a bit overpowering but it works beautifully in this face mask as it adds a bit of depth to the Grapefruit. The combination always makes me think of warm weather and holidays due to it being so uplifting and delicious. 

Don't Look At 'Me contains Ground White Rice which is used as a scrub within this face mask. The Ground White Rice helps to exfoliate the skin without irritating the skin too much which I adore because I do enjoy a light scrub when it comes to my face. My skin has a tendency of deciding when it wants to behave and when it doesn't so when it isn't behaving Ground White Rice is a great way to exfoliate dead skin without causing my skin to feel more irritated. When my skin feels and looks  irritated I feel a little bit more self conscious.

Silken Tofu plays a big part in creating the super rich texture of Don't Look At Me alongside Rice Milk and Glycerine. They also help to moisturise the skin and ensure that it stays soft and supple. After the Ground White Rice has done its thing it is best to ensure that you are putting moisture back into the skin and trust me these three ingredients will definitely do that! I was a bit intrigued when I saw Silken Tofu was included as ingredient in this face mask but it makes sense when you look into it. Silken Tofu is known for containing a plethora of Vitamins  such as Vitamin K and Calcium and is rich in Protein which can help to nourish the skin and help the skin barrier. 

I applied this onto my face for ten minutes and left it to do its wonderful thing. After the ten minutes were complete, before removing the face mask, I worked the grains of Ground White Rice into my skin for a quick minute to ensure that it exfoliated my skin. I slowly removing the beautifully blue coloured Face Mask off my skin with warm water and a face cloth working in circular motions for a quick second especially around my troublesome areas and facial hair and then a swiping motion. 

After washing the mask off, I could notice a good difference in what my skin looked and felt like before using Don't Look At Me compared to after. My skin felt smooth, soft and hydrated due to all of the lovely ingredients that are in Don't Look At Me. Furthermore, I've been using Don't Look At Me constantly for the past two weeks now and I've noticed more of a radiant glow to my skin which I have adored. I think the radiant glow has come mainly from the face mask helping to hydrate and protect my skin but also from the Fresh Lemon Juice that is also in Don't Look At Me. 

If you're looking for a great Summer Face Mask that not only smells utterly gorgeous and refreshing but helps your skin to feel and look more nourished alongside giving it a radiant glow then I think that you will love Don't Look At Me. If you're also looking for a Face Mask that will help dry skin look and feel a little bit less rubbish without being stripping like a lot of Face Masks can be for some then I think that don't Look At Me may be a great face mask for you to dabble into. 

Thanks again to the wonderful team at Lush for sending me the Don't Look At Me Fresh Face Mask. 

Lush have just released some lovely brand new fresh skincare products that include new Fresh Face Masks such as Nutkins, Coconut Shie and Hanami alongside brand new cleansers such as Biomic and Koji Paste. I am slowly trying out some of the brand new products so so keep an eye out as I will be posting blog posts about them when I have fully tried them out. 

Thanks for reading!

#AD | Celebrating The Good Times With A Bath Bomb | Lush World Bath Bomb Day Range Part One

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! The lovely people at Lush sent me some of the brand new bath bombs that are a part of the brand new World Bath Bomb Day Range from Lush and I thought that today I'd talk to you all about them. 

Lush have released 30 bath bombs to celebrate 30 years of Lush. As this range includes 30 bath bombs I will slowly be dropping blog posts discussing the bath bombs just as I can't fit 30 bath bombs into one blog post.

Celebrate 30 

You can't turn thirty and not celebrate! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Alcohol Denat, Cornstarch, Limonene, Perfume, Brazilian Orange Oil, Lime Oil, Water (Aqua), Titanium Dioxide, Corn Protein, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Tin Oxide, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Linalool, Colour 45430:1, Colour 45410, Colour 42053, Colour 15510, Colour 17200, Colour 42090, Colour 77491.

As a part of Lush's World Bath Bomb Day 2025 Range, Lush has released Celebrate 30. A bath bomb that epitomises celebrating the good times! Celebrate 30 contains Brazilian Orange and Lime Oils that blend together to create a truly uplifting scent. If you have tried out Golden Wonder Bath Bomb, Catch Me If You Can Bath Bomb or Crash Shower Jelly then this shares the same scent as them. 

I love anything citrus scented  (I even love eating Lemons just as they are) and I love how this bath bomb looks like a 30 that you'd get on top of a glorious Birthday Cake and this screams celebration! This bath bomb is definitely a great one for those who love glitter or for those who want a luxurious bath bomb before going out to celebrate a birthday like Lush's 30 or a great night out. 

We Put The Whole Fruit In 

Lacking some Vitamin C? Enjoy a bath bomb! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Organic Sweet Orange Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Water (Aqua), Orange Peel Powder, Titanium Dioxide, Cornstarch, Gardenia Extract, Dipropylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Citral, Citronellol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 15510, Colour 47005:1, Colour 15985:1, Colour 19140:1, Colour 14700, Colour 47005, Colour 15850:1, Colour 77491, Colour 42090.

Lush are all about showcasing the use of fresh fruit in their products so for this World Bath Bomb Day Range they've done just that. 

We Put The Whole Fruit In is a bath bomb that doesn't just look like a beautiful Orange but is a bath bomb that contains all of the Orange! This bath bomb contains three types of Orange! Sweet Orange Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil and Orange Peel Powder! These three types of Orange blend together to create an Orange scent that is truly out of this world! 

Even more, We Put All The Fruit In even has a sticker engraved on the front to represent the stickers you get on fresh fruit! 

I adore this bath bomb! I love anything Orange based especially during the Summer season! It just makes me think of the outdoors! I also love how this product showcases the amount of fresh fruit that Lush uses to create a fair few of their iconic products! If you're a fan of anything Orange then take my word, this bath bomb is definitely one that you should run to grab rather than walking at a leisurely pace! 

A Mo-Ment In Life 

Well the first ever bath bomb was designed for a mo-ment of serenity. 

Ingredients:  

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cornstarch, Agar Agar, Alcohol Denat., Titanium Dioxide, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Black Pepper Oil, Ginger Oil, Soybean Flour, Corn Protein, Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, *Citral, *Limonene, Perfume, Colour 42090:2, Colour 42090, Colour 19140:1, Colour 14700, Colour 17200, Colour 45410:1, Colour 45350.

A Mo-Ment In Life has been created for Lush's World Bath Bomb Day 2025 Range to commemorate Mo Constantine (one of the co-founders of Lush) creating the first ever bath bomb over 30 years ago in her shed! If it wasn't for Mo, the beauty and bathing industry would look very different and we wouldn't have Lush and it's amazing bath bombs and beauty products that have become staples in people's bathrooms and shelves across the globe!

This bath bomb creates an amazing experience in the bath. Not only is it an amazing colour changing bath bomb, not only does it create beautiful bath art that reminded me of spending afternoons in my families back garden but it also contains Agar Agar that helps to soften the skin! 

This Bath Bomb contains Ginger Oil, Black Pepper Oil and Lemon Oil which blend together to create a  truly heavenly spicy scent with a slightly mysterious citrus kick to it. 

I think that if you love spicy scents then you will love A Mo-Ment In Life. If you're a big fan of the retro Lush days then I think that you should give this bath bomb a sniff! If you're a big lover of Lord Of Misrule but think it's a bit too heavy for summer and the warmer months then this bath bomb may be worth a sniff the next time you're in a Lush store! 

Anyone that knows me will know that I adore Lemon and Ginger so when I heard that a bath bomb was coming that contains Lemon, Ginger and Black Pepper, I knew that I had to sniff it and try it out! I did and I instantly fell in love with the bath bomb. I am a sucker for anything citrus and anything spicy and to me this bath bomb has bonded the two together to create a truly beautiful contrasting yet complimentary amalgamation of citrus and spice! I also love using anything spicy for when my back flares up and I think that this bath bomb would help to relieve that quite a lot so I'll definitely be grabbing a couple for when that happens! 

Sonic Death Monkey 

We all need a bath bomb to help us get through the day! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Tangerine Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Cornstarch, Coffee Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Cocoa Powder, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Silica, Tin Oxide, Coumarin, *Limonene, Perfume, Colour 77491, Colour 15985:1, Colour 15510, Whole Coffee Beans. 

Sonic Death Money has been a Shower Gel loved by many for a generous amount of years now. Sadly it was discontinued back in the day but came back recently in the form of the Retro Wall. A wall behind the tills of Lush stores stacked with a plethora of much loved products from years gone by. 

This bath bomb contains Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Tangerine Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Cocoa Powder and Coffee Oil which blend together to create Sonic Death Monkeys iconic scent which to me reminds me of a sort of Mocha with Orange Zest decorated on the top of it or a  Orange Chocolate Latte or a sort of Orange Chocolate take on a Espresso Martini especially with the Vanilla Absolute helping to round the scent out just like what Vanilla does in a Espresso Martini. I mean there's even Coffee Beans on top to resemble a bit of an  Martini vibe! 

I realise that the scent profile may sound like a peculiar one but honestly give it a sniff before you judge this beautiful bath bomb! 

I used this bath bomb recently and I adored it!  I used it first thing in the morning and oh boy did it perk me right up! The scent lingered on my skin for a fair bit which I adored. My skin also felt beautiful and supple after using this bath bomb due to the Cocoa Butter that coats the top of the bath bomb. If you're a coffee lover then definitely give Sonic Death Monkey a go! 

Super Milk

This bath bomb will make you feel superb! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Whole Almonds, Coconut Milk Powder, Cornstarch, Perfume, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Litsea Cubeba Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Vanilla Absolute, Vanilla Pod Powder, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Tin Oxide, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Citral, Coumarin, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 77491. 

Super Milk has been having its moment recently so it made sense for Lush to finally release a bath bomb version of this superstar of a scent. 

The Litsea, Benzoin and Vanilla combine to create a truly scrumptious and superb scent that reminds me slightly of Lemon Drizzle Cake that has just been freshly baked. The Coconut Milk not only adds a creamy note to the scent to truly make it that iconic scent that has been helping the nations hair to feel and smell delicious but also helps to nourish the skin so we can feel soft and supple all Summer long! 

Some may be a bit confused by the Almonds that are placed on top of this beautiful bath bomb but in my opinion alongside the coconut Milk it helps to give a nod to the smorgasbord of beautiful nut oils that are in the Super Milk Hair Primer that launched a thousand superb shipments of Super Milk. 

I am a bit particular with the Super Milk scent and I think it works best in the primer and glitter spray but now after trying the bath bomb I think it works beautifully in this too. The scent in the bath bomb is slightly zingy and not too cloying and in my opinion is a perfect scent for those summer mornings where you need a little boost to help you get through the day! 

If you have the Shower Gel still from the Community drop last year then you could pair these two together for the most decadent routine or do what I love to do and use it alongside the hair primer and the glitter spray before a night out with friends! 

Have you tried any of these Bath Bombs? What is your favourite Bath Bomb from the World Bath Bomb Day Range? Is it the E.T Bath Bomb? Let me know down below and on social media! 

Thanks again to the wonderful team at Lush for sending me these goodies!

AD | It's Time To Have Your Bath Bomb & Enjoy It Too! | Lush X Hello Kitty and Friends Range

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I was recently sent some of the goodies from the Hello Kitty and Friends X Lush Collaboration Range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about the range! 

If anyone knows me well then you will know that I adore Sanrio! I recently went away and had to pop into a Sanrio store when I saw one! I forever have a soft spot for characters such as Gudetama and Aggretsuko. When I heard that Lush was collaborating with Sanrio I honestly knew that I would have to check it out and grab everything as soon as I could so when Lush sent me this parcel of goodies not only was I so grateful I was so excited to delve in and check everything out! 

Hello Kitty Bath Bomb (£6).

She truly is the icon! 

Hello Kitty has been a staple in all of our lives for a long long while now and now she's here to be a staple in your bathing routine too!

Hello Kitty Bath Bomb contains Brazilian Orange Oil, Patchouli Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Vanilla Absolute. These oils blend together to create a truly interesting scent. Lush describe this as a true amalgamation of two of their iconic scents. Snow Fairy and Milky Bath. Hello Kitty's Bow is a bath melt that consists some truly fabulous butters to nourish the skin such as Kokum Butter and Hello Kitty's nose is made of a Boba Pearl. 

To me, this bath bomb in the water creates a sweet scent that truly smells of the iconic Snow Fairy from Lush worth a little bit of a citrus twang to it which is interesting to smell especially in the water! I loved the addition of the bow being a bath melt as I'm someone who has quite dry skin and anything that contains butters that will nourish the skin is always a great thing in my opinion. Not only did my skin feel amazing after enjoying Hello Kitty in the bath but I also smelt delectable. I feel like this would be a great gift for anyone who wants something sweet in the bath and is a big fan of Snow Fairy but would like something new due to having everything Snow Fairy already in their collection. 

Kuromi Bath Bomb (£6).

Don't trust a bath bomb by its dark and deceiving design... 

Kuromi is here! Kuromi may look all dark and sinister on the outside but get to know her and you'll realise that she's an absolute sweetheart. 

Lush has epitomised the dark yet absolutely cute vibe of Kuromi not only by Kuromi releasing black rainbow lustre and pink into the water but also by the scent of this beautiful bath bomb. Lush has scented Kuromi with the Happy Bloomimg scent. Happy Blooming contains Almond Essential Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Ylang Ylang which blend together to create a truly delicious Cherry Bakewell scent that has notes of Black Cherry to it with a slightly fresh and floral undertone.

I am slightly hesitant when it comes to Cherry scents and Cherry Bakewell as I have spent years absolutely detesting Cherry and Almond as they can be too synthetic but Happy Blooming is a beautiful scent as the Ylang Ylang adds a interesting element to the scent. I love anything that has rainbow black lustre in so mixing that with Happy Blooming meant that I knew that I was going to love this bath bomb and I very much do! 

 Kuromi would make a perfect gift for those in your life who are sometimes a little dark and mysterious. 

My Melody Bath Bomb (£6).

My Melody may know a thing or two about baking but would it surprise you if she knew a thing or two about bathing too? 

My Melody is known for all things baking and I think that Lush has done a great job representing this in the form of the scent that My Melody is in this creative collaborative range. 

My Melody is scented with the iconic American Cream scent which to some reminds them of Strawberry Shortcakes and eating beautiful dishes at a dessert bar. American Cream contains Vanilla Absolute, Clary Sage Oil, Lavender Oil and Benzoin Resinoid which blend together to create a truly scrumptious scent that makes you feel like you are bathing on a cloud. Did you know that Lavender is known for its soothing properties so this bath bomb would definitely help you relax after a stressful day of creative challenges. 

I mean I love American Cream but I really love American Cream in the height of Spring as it reminds me a bit of enjoying a Strawberry Milkshake in a shopping centre during the height of Spring. I paired this with the American Cream Shower Gel and the old Sreawberry Heart Shower Jelly and honestly I had an amazing bath that created some cute bath art! 

Cinnamoroll Bath Bomb (£6).

Who doesn't want to smell like freshly made cinnamon rolls? 

Cinnamoroll is here and this beautiful bath bomb is not only going to make you feel comforted with their scent but will also make you feel like you're bathing on clouds due to the beautiful blue bath art that Cinnamoroll creates in the tub. 

Cinnamoroll contains Rice Starch, Almond Essential Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Carob Resinoid and Cinnamon Leaf Oil to create a truly scrumptious freshly basked Cinnamon Roll scent that has a bit of sweetness to it. I absolutely adore anything Cinnamon so when I saw that Lush were creating a Cinnamon Roll scented bath bomb inspired by Cinnamoroll I was very excited! Lush truly met my expectations and more with this bath bomb. Cinnamoroll does smell like Cinnamon Rolls like I've said due to the inclusion of Vanilla and Cinnamon but the Carob adds a slightly smoky toffee note to it which to me makes it smell like the caramelised middle part of a cinnamon roll.You know where it's slightly sticky and slightly caramelised? 

Honestly if you know anyone in your life who loves cinnamon rolls and baths then definitely grab them this bath bomb! They will be ever so thankful that you gifted them it.

Milk Bottle Bubble Bar (£9.50). 

We all know that Milk helps to relax us and so do baths so why not combine the two together? 

Fun fact! Did you know that Milk Bottle was the first accessory that Hello Kitty carried when Hello Kitty was released in 1975? 

Milk Bottle contains Sea Salt which is known to help you relax. Milk Bottle also contains Buchu Absolute, Almond Essential Oil, Cocoa Absolute and Labdanum Resinoid. If you're a big fan of Lush then you may recognise the scent of this Bubble Bar via the Candy Rain Conditioner. To me the mixture of Almond, Cocoa, Vanilla and Labdanum creates a rich creamy scent that has a touch of fruitiness in the background. If you're based in the UK and love the Milk Bottle sweets then I think that you will adore this bubble bar. I mean look  at it, I'm lactose intolerant and even I think that this is an adorable product for the bath! 

Friendship Cake Soap 

It's time to have you cake, share it amongst friends and use it to cleanse yourself beautifully too! 

This Friendship Cake Soap looks amazing! The effort that has gone into this soap is impeccable! The Friendship Cake Soap can be sliced into individual slices to take home and use or can be sold as a whole cake for you to share with friends and family when you're home or celebrating something amazing! 

Friendship Cake Soap contains Tangerine and Orange Oils which combine to create a truly refreshing Orange scent that will make your mouth water. If you have tried the Angels Delight Soap or the Shiz University Massage Bar from Lush and loved it then you're in luck as the Friendship Cake Soap shares the same scent! This super soap also contains junk Organic Agave Syrup, Almond Oil and Pressed Murumuru Butter which are combined together and layered onto the top of the cake shaped soap to represent buttercream/frosting on the top of a freshly baked cake! This combination of butters ensures that your skin is nourished and soft after using in the bathroom. I adore the scent of this Soap. It just reminds me of bright and warm Summer days when everything just feels fabulous and warm! As someone with dry skin, I love the fact that this soap has that whipped top. It ensures that my hands don't feel dry even if I'm washing them a lot throughout the day which happens a fair bit! If you're a fan of citrus scents or want something bright and zingy to wash with then definitely check this amazing soap out or buy a slice and gift to a friend who needs a pick me up!

Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel (from £8.50).

Who says showering can't be fun?! 

This Shower Gel like the Hello Kitty Bath Bomb shares the scent of the two famous Lush scents (Milky Bath and Snow Fairy) alongside some other gorgeous goodies. 

This shower gel contains Fresh Strawberry Puree, Fine Sea Salt, Brazilian Orange Oil, Patchouli Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Vanilla Absolute which combine to create a truly unique scent. To me, I say that the Snow Fairy element of the shower gel blends into the Strawberry Puree a bit which then combines with the Patchouli and Orange which make up the scent profile of Milky Bath at Lush which to me smells like fresh clean cotton with a sort of spicy kick to it. When these two scents combine, in the format of the shower gel, I get a sort of spicy grown up strawberry ice cream scent to it in a way.  

If you're a fan of glitter (I mean who isn't?) then you will love this Shower Gel as Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel contains a special red glitter that evokes the spirit of Hello Kitty and her friends when it shimmers beautifully in the light. 

If you're a fan of Snow Fairy Milkshake from Christmas 2024 or American Cream then I think that you will adore this scent. I've been using it first thing in the morning and it's just helped to perk me up when I felt a bit bleh as the Patchouli helps to ground me but the Strawberry and Vanilla makes me think I can feel cute and crack on with the day no matter what. 

Hello Kitty and Friends Perfume (£30).

What does Hello Kitty smell of? Well now you'll be able to find out and smell just like her!

Lush have decided to bottle up the spirit of Helko Kitty in a glass perfume bottle that is adorned with characters from the Sanrio universe on the front for us to enjoy and feel truly like one of the gang alongside Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll and the rest of the gang! 

This perfume shares the same scent profile as the Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel and the Hello Kitty Bath Bomb that consists of Milky Bath and Snow Fairy.  

This perfume contains Brazilian Orange Oil, Patchouli Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Vanilla Absolute to create this iconic scent. To me the Benzoin and Vanilla create that iconic Snow Fairy scent in this perfume whilst the other two ingredients make up the scent DNA of Milky Bath from Lush which combine to create a fragrance that will make people ask you what are you wearing because it smells that good! 

I have tested this out on paper and skin and I have also done a full day wear test of only using Hello Kitty and Friends Perfume before when I was in store before writing this blog post. It's also worth noting that everyone's skin can react to perfumes differently.

When I sprayed this onto my skin, the first note I got was that truly iconic pink Snow Fairy scent which just screams nostalgia and great times to me due to using Snow Fairy over the past ten years at least. The Snow Fairy note did flash off my skin quite quickly but left a hint on my skin which mingled and intertwined with the Patchouli and Orange which created a sweet yet creamy scent with a grounding edge. After wearing all day including running errands, shopping, checking a new Lush range out and getting home, I was left with a quite creamy scent on my skin. The best way I would describe the scent would be milky with a splash of sweetness to it. Honestly the scent I was left with after wearing this perfume wall day was similar to Candy Rain from Lush which I adore as it's creamy but has a depth and complexity to it due to the other ingredients in the scent profile such as Buchu and Cocoa that makes up the lovely scent of Candy Rain/Mrs Whippy. All in all I do think that it's an amazing scent. 

Thanks again to the wonderful people at Lush for sending me some of the items on the Hello Kitty and Friends X Lush Range.

What's Up? It's Time To Shower! | Lush Kitchen April Shower Box 2025

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I recently received the Lush Kitchen April Shower Box and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it and tell you my thoughts! 

Aprils Kitchen Box is titled 'What's Up Choc?' As you can tell by the name, this box is centralised around all things Easter particular all things Chocolate. This box uses chocolate and gourmand scents in a fascinating way and is featured in several shower based products within Aprils Kitchen Box. 

I grabbed this Kitchen Box as I was intrigued to see how Lush would use gourmand and chocolate scents in different shower products. I also grabbed this box because I adore Spring and Chocolate. My love for chocolate is kind of ironic because I'm highly intolerant to lactose. I get that some would ask why do you want to bathe in and smell of chocolate if you're intolerant to one of the main components of chocolate but just because my stomach can't process the sugars that naturally occur in chocolate and dairy products doesn't mean that I shouldn't be able to love chocolate nor should it stop me from smelling like a delectable snack. 

Chocolate Orange Shower Gel 

List Of Ingredients:

 Fresh Orange Infusion (Citrus aurantium dulcis), Glycerine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Cocoa Powder (Theobroma cacao), Lauryl Betaine, Perfume, Cocoa Absolute (Theobroma cacao), Brazilian Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Tangerine Oil (Citrus reticulata), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Carrageenan Extract (Chondrus crispus), Limonene. 

Who doesn't want to smell like a Chocolate Orange snack this Spring? 

Lush have created a shower gel that epitomises the chocolate and citrus combination that will make you crave something sweet to have after you've had your shower. This shower gel contains Cocoa Absolute and Vanilla Absolute to create that sublime yet sweet chocolate scent and also contains Fresh Orange Infusion, Brazilian Orange Oil and Tangerine Oil to create a scent that is truly out of this world. 

I adored this shower gel when I have been using it. If you are a fan of a thicker shower gel rather than a runnier one then this gel  is definitely for you as it's on the thicker side due to the addition of Glycerine that is known to help keep skin soft and supple. The Shower Gel lathers up into a rich yet milky lather that is truly inviting and the smell is to die for. 

Talking of the scent, it's rich, it's gourmand, it's sweet and it's everything that you want from a Chocolate Orange Shower Gel especially if you love that edible chocolate Orange that you have to whack not tap to open... For me though I think that I could do with a touch more Orange in it which sounds bizarre as there's three different types of Orange Oil running through this Gel but I think I just wanted more of that punchy orange to come through when I was showering with it. I still love it don't get me wrong but I think that little bit more Orange would make me want to buy litres of it. If you're a fan of Chocolate Orange anything or would love to see a new citrus variation on Posh Chocolate from Lush  then I think that you will love this Shower Gel. 

Lucky Bunny Shower Jelly 

List Of Ingredients: 

Glycerine, Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Carrageenan Extract (Chondrus crispus), Perfume, Vegan White Chocolate, Peppermint Oil (Mentha piperita), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Sweet Wild Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Silica, Tin Oxide, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Limonene, Colour 47005:1, Colour 77491, Colour 19140. 

We all need a bunny to help us be lucky all year long! 

This Shower Jelly is here to make your Easter full of everything that you desire including that rare day that has that iconic picnic/barbecue  ready British spring weather that lasts five minutes before it rains. 

This Shower Jelly smells amazing! The combination of Vegan White Chocolate, Vanilla, Peppermint and Orange creates a sort of sweet gourmand scent with a big and bright fresh kick to it. If you have smelt Mr.Wallet Body Spray then I think that you might like this. To me, this reminds me of a fresh take on Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. The Vegan Whote Chocolate and Pepwrmint are the main scents that come through whereas the Orange just helps to give a little bit of a fresh boost to the scent. If you love anything mint chocolate then I think that you will enjoy this quite a lot! (I know some either love or loathe Shower Jellies so let me know your thoughts on them!) 

Heavenly Bodies Buttercream 

List Of Ingredients: 

Orange Blossom Water (Citrus aurantium dulcis), Glycerine, Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil (Brassica napus;Cocos nucifera), Fresh Orange Juice (Citrus aurantium dulcis), Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Perfume, Rhassoul Mud, Water (Aqua), Cocoa Powder (Theobroma cacao), Fresh Orange Zest (Citrus aurantium dulcis), Cocoa Absolute (Theobroma cacao), Australian Sandalwood Oil (Santalum spicatum), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Brazilian Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Fresh Aloe Gel (Aloe barbadensis), Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene, Linalool.

It's time to pamper your heavenly body and give yourself some self love! 

Heavenly Bodies from Lush is a buttercream. What is a buttercream, you ask?  Well, a buttercream from lush  is a whipped shower product that resembles a whipped up buttercream that you top a beautiful cake with. The best way to use this buttercream is to massage into wet skin and rinse after spending a couple of minutes inhaling the delicious scent of Heavenly Bodies. 

This product contains Rhassoul Mud which helps to cleanse the skin of dirt and impurities, Cocoa Butter and Jojoba Oil which helps to nourish the skin and keep it feeling soft and beautiful this spring and a plethora of beautiful oils such as Cocoa, Vanilla and Sandalwood which combine to create a truly gourmand scent that has a pop of Orange to it.. I quite enjoy this product! As someone who has troublesome skin that can go from inflamed to dry very quickly, Heavenly Bodies is perfect for me. I would definitely suggest using this in conjunction with Chocolate Orange Gel or Sonic Death Monkey Shower Gel for the truly most decadent everything shower that you can think of this Easter. 

Carrot Soap 

List Of Ingredients: 

Fresh Carrot Infusion (Daucus carota sativa), Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil (Brassica napus; Cocos nucifera), Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Water (Aqua), Perfume, Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Carrot Powder (Daucus carota sativa), Cedarwood Oil (Juniperus virginiana), Tangerine Oil (Citrus reticulata), Benzoin Resinoid (Styrax tonkinensis pierre), Titanium Dioxide, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Bicarbonate, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 45350, Colour 45410:1, Colour 42090, Colour 14700.

Is it truly Easter without Carrots? I don't think so! 

This creative Carrot Soap contains Fresh Carrot Infusion and Carrot Powder to truly ensure that your skin is glowing for Spring due to the naturally occurring Vitamin C that is in Carrots! This soap also contains Tangerine Oil, Cedarwood and Benzoin Resinoid which combine to create a slightly citrusy scent that has a resinous woody undertone which evokes the feeling of watching the sunrise in the woods. I was a bit confused when this soap came just because I was expecting the original Carrots Soap which has a bunny engraved in the middle of each slice that shares the same scent as Follow The White Rabbit but now that I've been using and smelling this soap for a while, I'm not and that it was this version of the carrot soap instead. Isn't that what the kitchen boxes are all about? Finding out about new scents and scents that you may not gravitate towards when buying in store but slowly falling in love with them. If you're a fan of anything slightly woody then I think that this soap is for you! 

Perfume Behind Your Ears 

List Of Ingredients:

Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Organic Castor Oil (Ricinus communis), Organic Candelilla Wax (Euphorbia cerifera), Perfume,Limonene, Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum grandiflorum), Neroli Oil (Citrus aurantium amara), Rose Oil (Rosa damascena), Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Anise Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Cinnamate, Benzyl Salicylate, Cinnamal, Citral, Citronellol, Eugenol, Farnesol, Geraniol, Isoeugenol, Linalool, Colour 77492.

Some of us may forget that putting perfume behind your ears is a great way to help a perfume project its scent but now you won't with Perfume Behind Your Ears! 

This Solid Perfume shares the same scent as the limited edition Easter Shower Gel that is named Wash Behind Your Ears.

This perfume contains Jasmine, Neroli and Rose that combine to create a fresh yet floral scent. When I initially smelt this perfume straight out of the Kitchen Box I got a sort of strong Ginger note which I was confused but glad about as I love all things Ginger. However when I applied it and then smelt it I realised that this perfume is the epitome of Spring. The Jasmine, Neeoli and Rose blend together to create a fresh scent that reminds me of walking into a florist or walking past a garden that has multiple flowers blooming in it and having the smell of fresh flowers wafting in your face in the height of Spring. 

If you loved the Bridgerton Perfume or the new iteration of it in the form of Sweet Pea Perfume then I think that you will enjoy this Solid Perfume  that would pair beautifully with Sweet Pea. 

Did you manage to grab Aprils Lush Kitchen Box? Have you subscribed to grab May's box which is focused around Lush turning 30? Let me know!

Time To Create Some Bad Romance In The Bath | Lush Products That I Associate With Lady Gaga

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I am sure that you are aware by now that  Lady Gaga has released a brand new album this week titled Mayhem and I thought that I would cause my own mayhem and create a blog post all about the products from Lush that make me think of Gaga whether these are things I associate with Gaga or products that I think would fit with her songs or albums. (This post isn’t including Mayhem but I may do another one in the future that focuses more on Mayhem and Lush products). 

Black Rose Bath Bomb 

Bad Romance is one of Lady Gaga’s well known songs and when I think of Bad Romance I kind of think of  Roses because well I associate black with being dark and roses with romance.  

This Bath Bomb contains Pakistani Rose Absolute, Rose Oil, Geranium Oil and Sicilian Lemon Oil. 

Black Rose shares the same scent as Rose Jam which smells like an intense yet decadent sweet rose scent with a citrus kick to it. Mix this scent with the dark deep colours that explode out of the bath bomb and into the waters and you’ve got the perfect bath bomb to blast Bad Romance with and have a self care evening. 

Love Perfume

A perfect scent to wear before you tell someone that you want their stupid love. I know that this is an obvious one but I think that Love goes perfectly with Stupid Love. 

This perfume contains Ylang Ylang Absolute and Oil, Rose Absolute,  Bergamot Oil, Jasmine Absolute and Lemongrass which combine to create a truly heady scent that reminds me of comforting Apple Pie with a slightly sultry bright floral twang to it. 

This is going to sound a bit weird but this kind of screams Stupid Love to me because I feel that within society we have to stick to certain fragrances when it comes to romance and gift giving which is stupid in itself to stick to what society dictates us that we should be doing a specific thing for a specific emotion rather than choosing slightly more niche or different scents which still evoke the same emotion but in a different and maybe unconventional way such as Love from Lush which makes me feel comforted and loved in a different way than a pure true and heady floral fragrance does.  

Magik 

Magik is a range of its own but I think regarding Gaga I want to focus mainly on the Bath Bomb and Massage Bar. 

Gaga has discussed in many interviews and other platforms that she suffers from fibromyalgia and chronic pain and Magik definitely helps with when you’re feeling in pain and needing to relax. 

Magik Bath Bomb contains Epsom Salt, Chamomile Blue Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute, Ylang Ylang Absolute, CBD and Shittake Mushroom Powder. 

This bath bomb contains 64,000mg of Epsom Salts which are used to help relax the body alongside CBD whilst the plethora of oils create a slightly smoky deep floral scent that just helps to relax you. I think that Gaga would love using this for when she is in a flare up. 

The Massage Bar contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Calamine Powder, Moringa Oil,  Fair Trade Shea Butter, Ashwagandha Root and Ginseng Root Infusion, Illipe Butter, Fresh Shittake Mushroom and CBD alongside Chamomile Blue Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute, Ylang Ylang Absolute The massage bar also contains 

The plethora of beautiful butters will help to make Gaga’s skin feel smooth and supple whilst the CBD, Ginseng and Ashwagandha will help Gaga to feel relaxed. I can also see her using this after a long day of rehearsals or straight after a performance. Who knows, she could even take this on the road when she is on tour and have an instant hit of relaxation. 

Vegan Leather Jacket Perfume

If anything is the scent that reminds me of the Born This Way era from Lady Gaga then it is Vegan Leather Jacket from Lush. 

Vegan leather Jacket contains Clove Bud Oil, Vetivert Oil, Tonka Absolute and Tobacco Absolute. These oils combine to create a truly smoky fragrance that is out of this world. The best way to describe this as a fragrance is to imagine the smell of a post motorbike race in the middle of Autumn near a venue that has had fireworks going off or somewhere that has just burnt wood for an outdoor fire whilst someone is watching and drinking a spicy cocktail. 

All of this screams Born This Way to me and honestly if Lush had created this fragrance during the era roll out I feel that Gaga would have bathed in it. (Side note Lush if you’re listening, please do more with the Vegan Leather Jacket scent). If you have this fragrance then I urge you to blast the BTW album especially songs like Heavy Metal Lover and spritz a tiny bit of this beautiful biker inspired fragrance on. 

Intergalactic Shower Gel

Yes this is a bit of an on the nose one but I couldn’t write this post and not mention Intergalactic being the perfect scent family to use whilst blasting Venus or honestly just singing your way through the whole ARTPOP Album.

Intergalactic contains Fresh Mint Infusion, Fine Sea Salt, Peppermint Oil, Grapefruit Oil, Vetivert Oil and Sandalwood Oil. This blend of oils will definitely set you up for a day of being creative. That blast of Peppermint and Grapefruit will definitely make you feel like you’re about to blast off to Venus. 

I absolutely adore Intergalactic and make sure to have Venus on the mix when I’m using Intergalactic.  If you wanted to, you could always use the Glitter Spray for that extra minty boost and a bit of sparkle. (Just an idea for if Lady Gaga announces a tour surrounding Mayhem and you’re unsure on what to smell like)… 

Birth Of Venus Jelly Mask 

Following on from Intergalactic and Venus, I can’t really mention Venus by Lady Gaga ans not mention Birth Of Venus Jelly Face Mask. 

This Jelly Face Mask contains Kaolim, Glycerine, Sea Water, Lavender Absolute, Chamomile Blue Oil, Olibanum Oil, Myrrh Resinoid, Carrageenan  Extract and Rose Petal Infusion. 

Jelly Face Masks used to be a very big thing at Lush back in the day and Lush have decided to bring one back as part of their Retro Wall. This Jelly Face Mask contains Rose and Lavender which will help to calm and soothe irritated skin. The Myrrh and Olibanum add a slightly woody aquatic scent alongside the floral notes of Rose and Lavender. One sniff of this and you will feel like you’ve been transported to a tropical oasis. 

Tank Battle Perfume

I can’t explain this one at all but the smell of Tank Battle just kind of screams Lady Gaga a bit to me and honestly I think if you wear Tank Battle you may have people screaming the talented, amazing, brilliant meme at you. 

Tank Battle contains  Labdanum Resinoid, Patchouli Oil, Clove Bud Oil. These combine to create a truly unique scent. Lush do describe the scent of Tank Battle being a mix of bubblegum and the smell of rain and I think that kind of sums up Lady Gaga as a vibe a bit… the mix of bright sweet bubblegum mixed with the deep earthy smell of petrichor that has elements of smoky Patchouli to it. Bright mixed with dark to create a beautiful creation. If you haven’t smelt Tank Battle from lush then I urge you to and let me know if you get the same sort of vibe from the fragrance. 

Beauty Sleep 

Gaga definitely needs something to help after being on a heavy journey of buses, no sleep, plane, another bus and so forth… 

Beauty Sleep contains Lemon verbena and Valeroan Rott extracted in Honey, Kaolin, Mullein Leaf and Linseed Decoction, Ground Organic Aduki Beans, Organic Orange Blossom Honey Water, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Orange Flower Absolute, Neroli Oil, Myrrh Resinoid, Lavender Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Tonka Absolute, Organic Jojoba Oil, Orgajic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fresh Coconut, Organic Avocado Oil, Organic Cold Pressed Evening Primrose Oil, Evening Primrose Seeds, Wheatgerm oil, Fresh Lemon Juice, Fresh Pineapple Juice, Fresh Orange Juice and Organic Cold Pressed Grapeseed Oil. 

There is a lot of ingredients to discuss here however Beauty Sleep contains a lot of ingredients due to it honestly making skin beautiful but also because each pot contains at least a spoonful of Lush’s iconic Gorgeous Moisturiser. 

I think that Gaga would adore this Face and Body Mask because she could whack it on whilst on a bus or a plane but due to its intensive moisturising properties alongside the soothing properties that lie within this face mask due to ingredients such as Lavender which will help to feel a little bit more peaceful even if she is having to go from bus to place then to clubs and then do it all over again.   If you’re looking for a product that will help to nourish your skin but to also help you feel soothed and calm after a week of stress then I do recommend checking Beauty Sleep out. 

Candy Rain 

We all need a good moisturiser for our hair after the rain has fallen on us. 

Honestly most of the times that I have checked that Candy Rain has been at a store when I’ve gone in I’ve sang Rain On Me alongside checking out the product far too many times. More than I would like to admit. I thought that I would also include this product because with all the looks that Gaga stuns us with I’m sure her hair would love some nourishment via Candy Rain. 

Candy Rain contains Cashew Cream, Brazil Nut Milk, Coconut Cream, Macadamia Nut Milk, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Brazil Nut Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Rain Water, Buchu Oil, Tonka Absolute, Cocoa Absolute and Almond Essential Oil. 

This is going to sound slightly bizarre but have you ever smelt or had a Drumstick lollipop? The creamy side of the lollipop is exactly what Candy Rain smells like to me. Creamy which  touch of fruitiness coming from the Buchu which gives off a slightly berry hint to the fragrance. If you have smelt Mrs. whippy from Lush before then Candy Rain shares the same scent as that. 

As this product contains a plethora of nut based milks and creams which help to truly nourish the skin no matter how damaged it is. I think that this is an amazing fit for Gaga due to forever having hair styled and changed for events and shows and so forth. If your hair is on the damaged side and you’re looking for something that will deeply nourish your hair then I urge you to check out Candy Rain and let me know what you think of it if you do!  

Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar. 

This Bubble Bar contains Patchouli Oil, Frankincense Resinoid and Cinnamon Leaf Oil. These three oils blend together to create a truly spicy scent with a touch of sweetness in the background due to the Cinnamon. 

Did you know that this Bubble Bar is inspired by frank Sinatra? Lush back in the day used to sell a Bath Oil called Ol’ Blue Skies and rereleased it as a shower gel as part of their Kitchen Subscription Box? 

If you keep up with everything that Lady Gaga has done over the past few years then you’ll be aware with how much Frank Sinatra has influenced her and that she’s covered songs from him such as New York, New York so it seemed right to include this product. If you enjoy spicy scents then I definitely think that you should give this Bubble Bar a go! 

What products from Lush do you associate with Lady Gaga? Would you like me to publish a post about what fragrances suit each Lady Gaga era? Let me know? 

Thanks for reading!

Are Ewe Ready To Have An Amazing Baath? | Shaun The Sheep X Lush Range

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! The lovely people at Lush have sent me an amazing box of Shaun The Sheep X Lush goodies and I thought that today I would talk to you all about them. 

The Shaun The Sheep X Lush Range is available on the Lush App, website and in stores. 

Shaun The Sheep and Lush have a lot in common. They both turn 30 this year! Shaun made his first appearance in Wallace & Gromit : A Close Suave in 1995 and Lush started creating their iconic cosmetic products in 1996. Lush make their beauty products by hand and Aardman make their characters such as Shaun, Timmy and many more by hand too! 

Shaun The Sheep’s TV series played a big part in my childhood as I came home from school to see what antics Shaun. Timmy and the rest of the gang had gotten up to. 

Shaun The Sheep Bath Bomb

Shaun has appeared to make your bath time a real adventure! 

Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Alcohol Denat., Rose Absolute, Orange Flower Absolute, Lemongrass Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Water (Aqua), Coconut Milk Powder, Titanium Dioxide, Corn Protein, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Cornstarch, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Limonene, Perfume, Colour 77499, Colour 47005, Colour 42090:2, Colour 19140:1, Colour 42090. 

Shaun is here to make baath time a delight! Not only does he look adorable but this bath bomb also contains Coconut Milk Powder, Corn Protein and Extra Virgin Olive Oil which helps to make your skin feel as soft as Shaun does! 

This bath bomb also contains a plethora of beautiful floral oils such as Rose Absolute, Orange Flower Absolute and Jasmine Absolute which blend together to create a soft powdery scent whilst the Lemongrass helps to make everything sing and add a zesty pop of brightness to the bath bomb. This bath bomb shares the same scent as the retro Summer Blues Bath Bomb from Lush! To me, the scent of Shaun reminds me of slightly powdery yet uplifting cotton which feels a bit fitting with this range! If you’re a fan of scents that remind you of Spring or love anything floral then you will definitely love this! I also think any combination of products from this range would make a beautiful gift! 

Sleepy Timmy Bubble Bar 

Timmy is here to help you settle down after a day of mischief! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Lavender Oil, Chamomile Oil, Lavender Absolute, Neroli Oil, Cornstarch, Glycerine, Water (Aqua), Tragacanth Gum, Titanium Dioxide, Alcohol Denat., Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 77499.

This bubble bar contains Lavender Oil, Lavender Absolute, Chamomile Oil and Neroli Oil. This blend of oils creates an absolutely superb soothing scent! Timmy shares the same scent as Deep Sleep from Lush and this specific blend is known to help calm and soothe so you can sleep easier (which trust me I need at the moment). Not only that but Sleepy Timmy also creates black rainbow glittery waters when you use him in the tub. First of all, black rainbow glittery baths are the most me thing that I have ever heard and who doesn’t love the sound of this? I feel like the black rainbow glittery water will help to represent the night sky whilst you relax before going to bed which I love the sound of. As Timmy shares the scent of Deep Sleep, you could use the Deep Sleep Massage Bar afterwards to truly settle down before bed due the Magnesium that’s in the Massage Bar. 

I know some of you may be asking what is the difference between Sleepy and Deep Sleep. Sleepy contains Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Tonka whereas Deep Sleep contains Lavender, Chamomile and Neroli. In my opinion, Sleepy is more of a creamy malty Lavender scent (a bit like what Ovaltine is meant to do in terms of relaxing you before bed but in bath form) whilst Deep Sleep has a more herbal Lavender scent to it. 

This would make an amazing bath time treat for anyone who needs some relaxation in their life! 

Naughty Pigs Shower Jelly 

Ingredients: 

Glycerine, Fresh Carrot Infusion, Propylene Glycol, Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Carrageenan Extract, Perfume, Sand, Titanium Dioxide, Geranium Oil, Grapefruit Oil, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 45410:

This Shower Jelly contains three cute yet naughty pigs that can be used to help you clean after a day of adventure! These pigs contain a plethora of ingredients such as Sand which can be used as a light body exfoliant to help truly get dirt and grime off your body. I tried the sand when I received this box of goodies and honestly I love it you like a light exfoliant such as the Sugar Scrubs from Lush then you will love how the Sand exfoliates your skin!  These pigs contain Geranium Oil, Grapefruit Oil and West Timor Sandalwood Oil which combine to create a very zingy fruity scent that is truly to die for. Naughty Pigs Shower Jelly share the same scent as the Muddy Carrots Soap from Lush. The best way that would describe this scent is to imagine picking Grapefruits off a tree whilst being able to smell the scents of the other trees and plants surrounding you in the farm bottled up into a Shower Jelly. 

If you love cute shaped Shower Jellies or anything that has a fruity scent that reminds you of bright and warm days in the sun then I think that you will adore this! 

Bitzer Body Balm

Bitzer is here to help guide your skin into feeling soft and supple! 

Ingredients: 

Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Cupuaçu Butter, Illipe Butter, Organic Shea Butter, Fair Trade Organic Mango Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, Perfume, Fresh Carrot Juice, Cornstarch, Bergamot Oil, Lime Oil, Violet Leaf Absolute, Gardenia Extract, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral, Limonene, Linalool. 

This Body Balm will definitely become your new best friend! This body balm contains a plethora of beautiful butters which will help to nourish your skin such as Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Cupuaçu Butter, Illipe Butter and Shea Butter. Did you know that Cupuaçu Butter melts at a lower temperature that is nearer to your skins temperature which means that when you glide this on your skin it will only take mere moments for this beautiful body balm to melt on your skin and help to make your skin soft and supple. This Body Balm also contains Bergamot Oil, Lime Oil and Violet Leaf Absolute which blend together to create a truly fruity scent that reminds me of freshly picking berries off a shrub during the height of Summer. If you’re a fan of Lush then you may know the scent of Bitzer via the What’s Up Doc? Shower Gel from a couple of years ago or from the Cheep Cheep Bath Bomb. 

If you’re someone who has loved any of the Body Balms from the other collabs such as the Bee Body Bapm from the Bridgerton collab then I think that you will adore this! I also think that this would be a perfect product to pair with the new Basma Body Scrub or Salam Shower Gel that are a part of the new Eid Range from Lush.  

Troublesome Tractor Soap 

This Soap will help you get out of those messy scrapes!

Ingredients;

If you’re spending all your time on a farm like Shaun and his buddies then you’d need a soap to help you wash off all the muck of the day and that’s exactly what Lush have done with this Troublesome Tractor Soap. 

This soap contains exfoliating wheels that are packed full of Coffee and Charcoal which will help to exfoliate dead skin and will give you a boost to help you get on with your day whilst the rest of the Soap contains a refreshing blend of Clary Sage, Eucalyptus Oil and Lemon Myrtle Oil which combine to create a light yet zingy scent that will make you want to smell your hands all day!

I am a bit dubious when it comes to Eucalyptus scents as my nose tend to get irritated easily if I can smell it in strong doses but I really enjoy it in this soap. It helps to add a sort of watery freshness which compliments the Lemon Myrtle beautifully. 

If you like fresh and zingy scents then I think that you will like this Soap. In a way this soap reminds me of being the cousin of the Outback Mate Soap at Lush so if you love that scent family but want to try something a touch different then I urge you to try this cute Soap. 

Mossy Bottom Body Spray

One spray and you’ll be at Mossy Bottom Farm having lots of fun. 

Ingredients:

Organic Alcohol Denat.,Water, Perfume, Glycerine, Linalool, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Bergamot Oil, Neroli Oil, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Amyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Citronellol, Coumarin, Eugenol, Farnesol, Geraniol, Isoeugenol, Limonene.

We all need a fragrance for when we’re spending all day out and about having fun and Lush have come to the rescue. Not only have Lush created a Body Spray that will compliment you when you’re getting up to all sorts but they have created a Body Spray that will make you feel like you’re a part of the Shaun The Sheep franchise having adventures with Shaun and the rest of the gang. 

(Just to clarify before I talk about Mossy Bottom. The rest of the Shaun The Sheep was kindly sent to me by Lush which I am super thankful for as I love this collaboration range but the Body Spray was not sent to me as part of the gifted items and was purchased by myself).

This body spray contains West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Bergamot Oil and Neroli Oil. This combination of ingredients creates a fragrance that reminds me of the height of Spring enjoying picnics in the garden whilst England is sunny for two days before it rains for the rest of Spring.  This combination of oils creates a fresh green scent that packs a punch. If you have smelt the Grass Shower Gel or Grass Perfume from Lush and adore it then you may be happy to hear that Mossy Bottom shares the same scent. 

I know that for some, this is a love or loathe fragrance but it fits very well into the Shaun the Sheep theme of the range as one spray of this and you will feel that you’re on the farm with Shaun and the gang having the time of your life! 

I’ve worn this a couple of times and honestly I love it. I am super dubious when it comes to green scents. I either love or loathe them but I adore this one. The fragrance is very much a green grassy scent but it has a bit of dimension to it which stops it from being one note. There’s a touch of citrus in there from the Bergamot and a touch of creamy floral from the Neroli which just makes it a fragrance that you keep sniffing. I have sprayed this a couple of times as I have mentioned above and it has lasted all day on me to the point that I’ve been out all day and gotten the train home and wondered if anyone else on the train had just sprayed it and then I realise it’s me. 

If you’re a fan of scents from Lush such as Guardians Of The Forest or Fresh As then I think you should give Mossy Bottom a sniff as you may enjoy it.
