LUSH Think Pink Gift!

Hi guys! I've been so excited about my Lush Think Pink Gift ever since hubby bought it as my Valentine's Day present, I just had to tell you about it! This isn't a limited edition Valentine's Day gift, so it's available all year round, despite it not being listed on the Lush website. Let's get into it!

First of all, Think Pink is huge! The octagonal box is honestly so feminine and pretty; it's covered in a pink and red floral design that's super cheerful to look at. I'll definitely be keeping the box to re-use, I only wish the cardboard was sturdier so I didn't have to worry about it breaking or losing its unique shape.

Inside is a whopping ten pink-themed products and a information booklet that details product info along with photos (which is just as well, because the individually wrapped bath products are not labelled). As it's a Gift, there's a gift tag with To and From areas to fill out for your intended recipient, and a quick guide to the products, as well as the quote 'banish the black, burn the blue and bury the beige'. Indeed! And now on to the pretty in pink Lushness!

Left-Right: Twilight, Think Pink & Sakura Bath Bomb

Twilight Bath Bomb
Twilight is a light pink hue with white specks and features a star and moon design. With its comforting tonka and soothing lavender scent, I can totally see myself watching my bf Robert Pattinson in Twilight on a Friday night then dipping into a relaxing Twilight bath before bed!

Think Pink Bath Bomb
This reformulated bomb promises fabulous fuchsia foam, streams of sparkle and super soft skin. The ultimate in girly fun, it would be perfect for a Sunday afternoon pamper session!

Sakura Bath Bomb
This is a white bomb speckled with colour that was inspired by Japanese cherry blossom, jasmine and mimosa. With hints of citrus from lemon oil and orange flower, Sakura is a predominantly floral scented beauty.

The Comforter Bubble Bar, Rose Jam Shower Gel & The Comforter Shower Cream

Rose Jam Shower Gel
Aahh, one of my all-time favourite shower gels! I adore the rosy Turkish Delight scent of this gorgeous dark pink cleanser. I try to stock up every year in the Lush Boxing Day Sale (because half price is everything). You can read my review here.

The Comforter Shower Cream
'Cassis absolute knits together with sweet vanilla, wrapping you in homely blackcurrant comfort.' Although I prefer the Lush shower gels to their shower creams, I am drawn to the rich pink colour of this, and it smells ah-mazing!

The Comforter Bubble Bar
Hot damn, this fuchsia and white hued swirly bubble bar smells delicious! It's obviously in the same scent family as The Comforter shower cream, and the strong blackcurrant fruity fragrance is definitely my cup of tea!

Creamy Candy Bubble Bar, Pink FUN

Creamy Candy Bubble Bar
The Creamy Candy bubble bar has an orange flower set into its top and smells super sweet, like fairy floss! It's filled with Fair Trade cocoa butter and comforting vanilla absolute and is said to provide a higher level of moisturisation thanks to the addition of an almond and cocoa butter blend that melts onto the surface of the water!

Pink FUN
Because why should kids have all the Fun? My son always has a Lush FUN on the go (think Speedboat, Sea Monster and Rainbow) but this fruity, candy fragranced soft pink playdough-like soap is all mine! I'm going to feel like a kid again as I make shapes with my Fun before cleansing in its pink goodness!

Rock Star Soap, Bubblegum Lip Scrub

Rock Star Soap
This chunky baby pink star is a super sweet soap that I last tried back in 2013, when my blog text was as pink as this soap! (see here). Incidentally it also used to be a rectangle shape, but now the shape matches the name, although they could alternate as it's rectangular on the website! Rock Star contains coconut oil and vanilla absolute, and gives a lovely creamy lather.

Bubblegum Lip Scrub
Polishing your pucker is one of the funnest things you can do with your mouth (ooh-err!) and I'm super excited to now have this Bubblegum scrub in my collection! I'm a big fan of lip scrubs, and even though they are more fun than necessary, the sweet candy flavour of this will definitely have me reaching for it on the reg!

Bath & Unwind Tried and Tested: Korres Holiday In Greece Review

This is the second in my series of reviews as part of Bath & Unwind's Tried and Tested panel. If you missed my first, it was a review of Caudalie Vine Body Butter, which you can read here. I was so excited to receive this Holiday In Greece gift/travel set, because I'd heard so much about Korres, yet never tried the brand for myself.

"Korres is a Greek skincare brand born out of Athens first ever homeopathic pharmacy in 1996. Today the Korres portfolio includes over 400 natural and certified organic products. Our goal is to develop innovative and clinically effective skincare products based on natural active ingredients."

Let's look at what's in this set.....

Korres Holiday In Greece contains:
Guava Body Butter 40mL
Basil Lemon Body Milk 40mL
Basil Lemon Shower Gel 40mL
Guava Shower Gel 40mL
Aloe & Dittany Shampoo 40mL

Guava Body Butter
This beautifully fruity-smelling body butter is luxurious and very rich. You really need minimal product, as a little goes a long way; in fact when I initially applied too much the whiteness of the cream reminded me of sunscreen! It leaves the most gorgeous fragrance on the skin that lingers for hours and instantly hydrates and moisturises. My skin felt nourished, soft and supple. This body butter is most suited to areas of dry or chapped skin. The small size means it's great to pop in your handbag and apply when needed throughout the day. This product was one of my favourites from the set. It contains sunflower, almond and avocado oil, shea butter and quince extract to promote smoothness, elasticity, softening, moisturising and restructuring.

Basil Lemon Shower Gel and Guava Shower Gel
These shower gels are quite lovely, and have somewhat earthy fragrances, which I find appealing. The 40ml bottle size is quite small, and my love of shower gels means I'll be finished these two in no time! I understand it's a gift set intended for travel or as an introduction to the Korres range, but still. The large dispenser hole means I had to be careful not to release too much product, but did make it easy to get it out of the bottle. Both shower gels produce a mid to high lather and left my skin feeling clean and good to go. The Basil Lemon is awesome for a morning shower because the zesty lemon aroma is refreshing and screams WAKE UP! The Guava gel I prefer to use at night, as I love the tropical fruit fragrance on my skin before bed. Both gels contain wheat proteins, aloe leaf juice and active plant extracts and are mineral oil free, silicone free and propylene glycol free.

Aloe & Dittany Shampoo
This was probably my least favourite product from the Holiday In Greece gift set. For starters it's for normal hair, and my hair is anything but normal. I need treatment shampoos for fine hair that will add volume, or I'm left with limp hair that needs a lot of thickening foam prior to blowdrying. Having said that, this smelled good and would be a preferable alternative to hotel shampoo if I was travelling. Who am I kidding, I take my own shampoo and conditioner when I travel. Anyway, if you're not a fine-haired lass, you might enjoy this. It contains dittany, aloe, marjoram and mountain tea extracts and is free from silicone, parabens, mineral oil, propylene glycol, ethanolamine and phthalate fragrances.

Basil Lemon Body Milk
This light lemony body milk is an utter delight. Goes on like a dream, absorbs super-fast and leaves my skin soft and ultra-moisturised. Again, I love the zesty, fresh fragrance (like its shower gel counterpart). Although it absorbs quickly, the body milk sometimes leaves a slight film on the skin, which took a little getting used to, but now I don't notice it. Upon researching the product I learned that the wheat proteins present form a protective film on the skin. Also, its supposed to have a powdery texture (I couldn't tell) and leave a matte finish. AND that hydration levels three hours after application are supposed to be the same as when the product was first applied! Another firm favourite from this set, both for smells and its effectiveness.
