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!

Would you buy a Lush gift for friends, family or yourself?

LUSH 2018 Valentine's Day Range*

Hi guys! I can't believe it's February already, where is this year going?! You may be shocked to learn that Valentine's Day (14th February) is creeping up, so it's time to start looking for gifts for your significant other. If your partner is a Lush fan or loves a bit of a pamper in the bathroom, keep reading, because the Limited Edition LUSH 2018 Valentine's Day range* is now available in-store and online. Hurry though, because these goodies are only selling until the 14th! I was kindly gifted a box containing some of this years collection, so let's take a look!

Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb
This gorgeous heart-shaped bath bomb in the prettiest of pinks contains seven rosebuds that burst forth as the rosy goodness fills the bathtub. The heart is finished with a thin white layer across the bottom. I read some reviews saying it left the water colourless, but this bomb has now been reformulated and it does turn the water pink. (In the below photo, I've used just a corner of the heart and the water is a lovely light pink hue - I haven't saturated the colour). This bomb contains woody orris root powder, rose absolute, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Geranium and sexy Jasmine for a mystical, floral, sensual fragrance. Perfect to use before a romantic date!

Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar
I've been a lover of Unicorns for years now (you've seen the name of my blog, right?), so I was super excited to receive a Unicorn Horn bubble bar in my box! This cone-shaped delight is every bit as colourful and sparkly as you'd imagine the mythical creatures horn to be. Mine is pink, yellow and purple and covered in a shimmery silver sheen. Magical! Lavender Oil gives a balancing and calming effect, Neroli Oil is included for its toning and uplifting properties and Ylang Ylang Oil gives off a sweet, heady fragrance. Neroli is also known to increase serotonin in the brain which makes us feel content, relaxed and happy. It's a win win!

Melt My Heart Massage Bar
I'm not the biggest fan of massage bars (maybe because it's usually me who's doing the massaging!) but I like the look of the Melt My Heart bar. It's a generous size and the 'Love' embossed across the top is cute, if a little hard to make out. I also like the soft, melty formula and the fact that when you pick this up it immediately warms in your hands and softens, leaving your skin moisturised and soft when you glide it over. However it also leaves little black bits behind on the skin, and I'm not really digging the fragrance, which is very earthy and almost masculine. This new product contains cypress oil, orange flower absolute, Fair Trade organic cocoa butter, dried roses petals and violet leaf absolute.

Heart of Enlightened Expectation Bubble Bar Melt
This pretty orange heart shaped beauty is covered with a melty white topping that reminds me of whipped cream and has sprinklings of gold glitter for an additional sparkle! I cannot wait to use this one, as I love that it combines a bubble bar with a melt. I love bubble baths and one that also softens my skin sounds brilliant to me! This one smells quite strong, with mood-lifter bergamot oil, skin-softening organic Cocoa Butter, ylang ylang,  geranium, jasmine and rose included to create a fun, floral experience.

Tender Is The Night Naked Shower Cream
This is my first foray into 'naked' Lush products, and what better time to do it than for Valentine's Day! This is a new product, and the idea is that it's like their other shower creams, but without the plastic bottle, hence the term 'naked'. This lathers up nicely giving a lovely pink creamy soapy consistency which I actually prefer to the bottled creams, but just using it a few times I did use up a bit of product. I have stored mine in a sealed Glad bag so that it doesn't break down in the bathroom when not in use from the water or steam. The fragrance is sexy and floral, with a jasmine flower infusion, ylang ylang, vanilla absolute, murumuru and Fair Trade shea butters.

Tunnel of Love Soap
My fave ever Lush products come from the soap and shower gel categories, so I was thrilled to see a brand new product, Tunnel of Love Soap in my package! This is a pink wedge of soap in the shape of a bricked tunnel, with the white interior representing a heart. I really enjoy the soft, creamy Lush soaps, but the drawback is that they don't last very long. With Tunnel of Love, the white part is soft and creamy, whilst the pink majority is harder, so you're getting the best of both worlds. The citrus aromas from zesty lime and sweet wild orange oils make this an instant winner for me, with soothing rose water and softening olibanum leaves just added bonuses.

The Kiss Lip Scrub
I love Lush lip scrubs, so I was keen to try The Kiss! When you remove the lid, you're met with the cutest little pot of joy! The baby pink coloured sugary scrub is covered in tiny edible red hearts, and honestly, it just melts my heart! The cuteness! This works like all Lush lip scrubs; you pick up a little product and rub it over damp lips to slough off dead skin and give yourself a smooth, refreshed pucker, ready for Valentine's Day smooches. The Kiss tastes sweet, salty and delicious, and contains caster sugar,  fine sea salt, Fair Trade Cocoa Butter, almond and mandarin oils. I love this scrub!

The LUSH Valentine's Day collection is in-store and online now until February 14.

What are your plans for Valentine's Day?

LUSH 50% Off Haul!

Hi guys! If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I went a bit crazy at the Lush Boxing Day Sale (cough $70 later cough). This is the second year running that I didn't get in-store 'til five or so days after the sale started, and while some half price items had run out, there was still  plenty of discounted Christmas stock to choose from. I missed out on my beloved Rose Jam shower gel, so compensated by grabbing a Garden Party gift that contained Rose Jam and a couple of other goodies. Being the school holidays, my son was with me, so I was distracted and dealing with complaining after a while, which didn't help, but I bribed him with a Bubble Spinner (he's obsessed with fidget spinners) which unfortunately wasn't marked down. Other than that, I tried to get new-to-me goodies, for a bit of excitement! Here's what I got!

My Haul!
~ Bubble Spinner Re-Usable Bubble Bar
~ Twilight Shower Gel
~ Snow Fairy Sparkle Jar
~ Layer Cake Soap
~ Miranda Soap
~ Candy Cane Roulade
~ Pop In The Bath Bubble Bar
~ Golden Wonder Bath Bomb
~ ThunderSnow Bath Bomb
~ Garden Party Gift (contains Rose Jam Shower Gel 100g, Ro's Argan Body Conditioner 45g, Snow Cloud Soap 100g)

Did you pick up anything in the Lush Boxing Day Sale?

Ho Ho Ho! It's the LUSH Christmas Range!

Can you believe it's December already? Christmas is nearly upon us, which means it's time to get your festive shopping done (although I usually don't start until the week of Christmas, because I'm the queen of disorganization). The only festive item I buy before December is my beauty advent calendar. This year Lush released their Christmas range early, on October 5, so you may have already seen these goodies in-store. The collection will be available until December 24, so make sure you pop in to pick up your faves before it's too late! I was kindly sent a box of Lush Christmas products, let's take a look!

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar
This pretty pink and white swirly, sparkly delight combines the best in bathing elements; a sweet, delicious fragrance and lots of bubbles! If you're a fan of girly, pink water in your bubblebath, this fun, glistening triangular peak will be right up your alley. The vanilla scent is super-strong, and reminds me of cult favourite, Snow Fairy. This would be a great stocking stuffer if you had a daughter (although my son is partial to a Candy Mountain bubblebath, let's hope he doesn't mind me sharing that nugget of information!)

Buck's Fizz Body Conditioner (NEW!)
Lush is famous for inventing unique products, and their body conditioners certainly fit that bill! Like a hair conditioner, a body conditioner is designed to leave the skin soft, moisturised and nourished. I love the bright orange colour of Buck's Fizz (a new product!), and the concoction of scents such as fresh grapefruit, Brazillian orange and lime are zingy and delicious. These are scents that wake you up and make your soul sing, so this one's great for use in the morning. This one reminds me of Bubbly Shower Gel, which is one of my favourite Lush shower gels.

Sherbet Dip Bath Bomb (NEW!)
Lemon lovers will adore this citrus-scented yellow, fizzy wonder, which is a new product from Lush this Christmas! This will turn your bath water yellow and green and fill your bathroom with an uplifting, tangy fragrance. Containing grapefruit oil to energize a tired body (after Christmas shopping no doubt!) and Sicilian lemon oil to cleanse, this fizzer goes off. Eat some Wizz Fizz in the bath for the full Sherbet Dip experience!

Santa's Christmas Shower Cream (NEW!)
I much prefer Lush shower gels to their creams, I think it's just a textural thing, but having said that, Santa's Christmas is fun to use and smells like cola, which is great for someone like me who loves both Pepsi Max and Coke No Sugar! Santa's Christmas is a thick, dark pinkish-red cream that lathers nicely and is quite festive, in hue and aroma. As well as the cola smell, it also has a warm, spicy kick from the cinnamon infusion and black pepper oil. It also contains cocoa butter to make your skin soft and a coffee infusion for an energizing boost!

Butterbear Bath Bomb
This cute white polar bear is more subtle than most Lush bath bombs and perfect if you're after a relaxing soak. It's smaller too (and thus cheaper) so it's another great stocking stuffer for your nearest and dearest. Butterbear is dapper AF with his stylish scarf, and contains Fair Trade cocoa butter to soften the skin, along with calming ylang ylang and a warm and creamy vanilla scent that will be sure to elicit a festive smile, even from the Grinch.

Snow Fairy Body Conditioner
Snow Fairy lovers will definitely appreciate this baby pink-coloured body conditioner! This is honestly like being at a fun fair, as one whiff immediately conjures memories of fairy floss and fairground fun as a child! If you're not a fan of sweet scents, maybe give this one a miss, as the Snow Fairy family is notorious for its rich, sweet aroma. Prepare thyself for the plethora of delicious ingredients in this baby though: candy floss water, cherry infusion, mango butter, avocado butter, organic jojoba oil and cocoa butter. Bliss!

Luxury Lush Pud Bath Bomb
This one is too pretty to use, and I'm going to save it for closer to Christmas. With its bright pink base and colourful spots, it reportedly releases a rainbow of colours into the tub, turning your bathwater into a kaleidoscope of gorgeous hues (check out the Lush video of its release into the water here, so you know what I mean). With a sophisticated aroma of warm tonka absolute, calming lavender, uplifting ylang ylang oil and comforting benzoin resinoid (what, now?), this is one designed to rest your body and mind and lift your spirits, so you'll be ready for another day of Christmas shopping!

Santa Baby Lip Scrub
I love a good lip scrub, and Santa Baby hits the nail on the head. It's a bright, festive red colour, and has the familiar cola scent that belongs to the Lush Santa Baby family of products. I could honestly inhale this delicious fragrance all day... but onto other aspects of this lip product. This contains scrubby caster sugar to exfoliate dry skin and jojoba and extra virgin coconut oils to soften your lips and make them mistletoe-ready. Lime oil is in there along with black pepper oil to add spice and a little invigorating tingle!

The Magic Of Christmas Reusable Bubble Bar
Aah, these Lush bubble bar wands are so fun! The sparkly stars on a stick never fail to make me smile. I've loved using the pink Magic Wand one last year, so I can't wait to use The Magic Of Christmas. This orange sparkler with gold glitter combines some interesting fragrances, and is probably best used by the adults in the family, given the addition of punchy, spicy cinnamon leaf, Fair Trade organic clove to stimulate the skin and boost circulation and almond essential oil. This smells hot and spicy, so I think it will make an interesting bathing experience!

Sugar Plum Fairy Lip Tint
I was so excited to receive this, because Sugar Plum Fairy Lip Scrub is my all-time favourite lip scrub from Lush, the scent is to die for! This still has that gorgeous familiar Sugar Plum Fairy scent, but it's quite subtle, so I'll instead address this as a lip tint. It applies as a super-pretty magenta coloured tint, that can be built up and has great lasting power. The formula is smooth and so pleasant; it feels really nice going on, and feels soft and moisturising on the lips. It contains Kalahari melon and organic jojoba oils to nourish and moisturise the lips, and has sweet wild orange oil to produce a delicious scent. I love this lip tint!


You can shop the LUSH Christmas range until December 24 in-store on online here.

What's your favourite product from the Lush Christmas range?

LUSHoween! It's Lush Halloween!

Do you love a bit of spooky fun? I have managed to not watch one horror movie this month, despite contemplating a Halloween scary movie challenge. I could say I've been too busy, but it's more likely because I'm a scaredy cat! Anyway, here's something to scream over, and not in a terrified way. The LUSH Halloween collection has dropped. Yeah that's right, it's LUSHoween! I was kindly sent some of the range, so let's have a look at the products now!

Monster's Ball Bath Bomb*
The Monster's Ball Bath Bomb is more cute than scary, am I right? Sure, he only has one eye, but so does Mike from Monsters Inc and he's freakin' adorable! My monster is slightly terrifying however, because he's missing the black pupil bit of his eye, lol. I spy, with my little eye .... NOTHING I'M BLIND WITHOUT MY PUPIL YO! This bath bomb is predominantly pink with cute little blue ears and (monster) mashes up neroli and lime oils for a zingy, fresh and delightful scent. Also, it makes up such a pretty bath, as you can see in the above photo!

Pumpkin Bath Bomb*
I'm already hopelessly biased in favour of this because my cat's name is Pumpkin. She's the best ginger kitty cat ever! Another gorgeous-smelling creation, this pale orange bath bomb combines sweet vanilla absolute, spicy cinnamon and pimento berry oil for a sweet and spicy delight. You can't go past the Pumpkin for an aesthetically spot-on representation of Halloween!

Lord Of Misrule Bath Bomb*
If you're a fan of the bright green coloured Lord Of Misrule Shower Cream, you'll appreciate its bath bomb counterpart. I love the little speckles of pink and white that dot the green exterior, a prelude to the wine-coloured crackling fun hidden in the centre. Lord of Misrule smells herby, earthy and spicy, and contains patchouli, black pepper oil, gardenia extract and popping candy!

Goth Fairy Sparkle Bar*
I love the inclusion of a sparkle bar in the Halloween range, for something a little bit different! Like most Lush products, this little guy smells amazing. Personally I think if he were coloured black he'd be a truly authentic Goth, but that would leave a black hue over the skin, so it's probably a good thing I'm not designing Lush products! The important points are; this is scented with bergamot, grapefruit and almond, it contains a lot of iridescent gold, green, silver and purple lustres and leaves the skin beautifully soft and moisturised thanks to the inclusion of cupuaca and illipe butters.

Sparkly Pumpkin* and Pink Pumpkin* Bubble Bars
These sparkly goodies are the show-stoppers of the LUSHoween collection in my opinion! Just look at them! The orange Sparkly Pumpkin graced the collection last year, but the (pretty in) Pink Pumpkin is a brand spanking new addition to the range! Sparkly Pumpkin will give your bath water a gold lustre and is fragranced with grapefruit, lime and juniperberry oils for a fresh, uplifting experience. Pink Pumpkin is covered in gorgeous silver and pink lustre and is fragranced with bergamot and geranium oils and jasmine absolute. Both are bubble bars, perfect for a relaxing, late-night soak after Trick or Treating with the kids!

Black Rose Lip Tint*
This is one sexy lip tint! No need to be afraid of the scary-looking black tint, as this baby applies as a deep cherry/magenta shade on the lips, is pretty much budge-proof and leaves a pretty stain. My lips felt incredibly soft after application, probably due to the addition of kalahari melon oil and moisturising jojoba oil. The tint also contains Sicillian mandarin, ylang ylang, orange peel wax and rose wax.

Black Rose Solid Lip Scrub*
This is quite an unusual product to use! At first it felt strange as I couldn't feel any scrubby bits when rubbing this black rectangular solid scrub on my lips, but in reality it just take a while to remove the film and get down to the exfoliating particles. Then I was greeted with quite coarse scrubby bits that excelled at removing dead skin and softening up my pucker. The star ingredients are moisturising murumuru butter, conditioning organic illipe butter, exfoliating caster sugar and a blend of oils including jojoba, organic coconut, spearmint and ylang ylang.  I probably still prefer the Lush Lip Scrub pots (eg Sugar Plum Fairy, Chocolate, Mint Juleps) to a scrub in a solid format.

There are a few other Halloween items that weren't in my box, such as the Ectoplasm Jelly Bomb, Bewitched Bubble Bar, Lord Of Misrule Shower Cream and the Black Rose Naked Lip Tint (not to be confused with the Black Rose Lip Tint in the tube, which I did receive!). If you're interested in these, hit up Almost Posh and How To Girl and The Life Of Laura for their thoughts on them!

What's your favourite product from the Lush Halloween collection?

LUSH Limited Edition Father's Day Range!*

Father's Day is fast approaching (Sunday September 3 to be exact!) and I haven't even discussed with Mr. 9 what we might get hubby yet! I'm also up for a gift for my Dad, which is very unfair because I've only just bought him a Birthday present. How dare he! Also, my Wedding Anniversary is the day before Father's Day, so I am just going to be in present-buying mode for the next forever if you ask me! Luckily for everyone involved (including you!) the 2017 Limited Edition LUSH Father's Day range has dropped! This collection is available in-store and online right now, and up until September 3. I was kindly sent a selection of goodies from the range, so let's have a look at these now!

Smuggler's Soul Multipurpose Cream*

'Go under cover of evocative, soothing sandalwood.'

This masculine-smelling multipurpose cream can be used on the face, body, hands, hair or even as a shaving cream! It's so good that it can do all these things, because some boys can be lazy when it comes to a 'beauty' routine, am I right? So the easier it is for them, the better! I wrote my hubby out a magnificent skincare routine and he stuck to it for a grand total of a week. *cries*. I've all but given up on him moisturising his face, but I've been using this as a hand cream, and I'm actually digging the earthy aroma and how fast it absorbs. I'm going to suggest hubby use it as a shaving cream, and if he doesn't, I will. I think this will work though, as he loved using the Lush D'Fluff Strawberry Shaving Soap a while back. This contains sandalwood, argan oil to soften the skin and fresh cucumber for its cooling properties.

Smuggler's Soul Facial Scrub*

'Sandalwood takes the senses a long way from home as you buff and brighten the skin.'

This thick, creamy scrub is an absolute pleasure to use! The tiny abrasive bamboo stem particles provide a particularly satisfying scrub, and my skin afterwards is left so smooth and soft! This would be the perfect scrub for the man in your life (Dad, hubby, you know who they are!) because it's basic, yet fun to use, with a smoky sandalwood scent, and many beneficial ingredients. Organic shea butter moisturises, papaya juice brightens and refreshes the complexion and a delicious mix of oils (rosehip, argan, sandalwood and rosewood to name a few) work to repair, uplift, soothe, rejuvenate and hydrate the skin.

The Modfather Bubble Bar*

'This bubble bar is for the snappiest dressers and most discerning of bathers. Crumble under running water for luxuriously fragrant citrus bubbles.'

This refreshing and rejuvenating bubble bar is packed full of Brazilian Orange Oil, making for the freshest, most zingy, uplifting citrus scent! Designed to be crumbled under running water, this red, white and blue beauty hits the target if you're a citrus fragrance lover like me! So happy my Dad doesn't have a bath! Bwahahahahaha!

SuperDad Bath Bomb*

'Seek out those true heroes who have lifted you up and deserve a thank you. This super fizzing bomb is made for them.'

I love the hefty size and the DAD design of this Lush bath bomb. The smell is more masculine than that of The Modfather, which makes sense given the addition of guaiac wood and sandalwood as they create a sweet, woody and smoky scent. Sandalwood is uplifting and soothing, and SuperDad also contains Olibanum Oil for a soothing and toning effect. As always, Lush are against animal testing, but you knew that already, right?!

Dirty Styling Cream*

'A styling cream to spike it up or slick it flat, whatever mood takes you.'

I have fine, long hair that I'm forever trying to build volume in, so you'll understand when I say a spiked up or slicked flat look is not really for me. Perfectly understandable given this is part of the Father's Day range, so it's really designed for men, especially those with thick, unruly hair (although thinner-haired humans can use it, just in a lesser quantity). Luckily, my husband does enjoy using styling creams, so this will make a great addition to his gift. This is a medium hold cream with a matte finish and it's from the Dirty Gorilla Perfume family, so if you enjoy that pine and sandalwood scent, this may be for you! I really like the enticing scent, which also contains oakmoss absolute. Dirty Styling Cream contains organic illipe butter to condition and give shine and linseed mucilage to protect and nourish sensitive scalps.

You can purchase the Father's Day range in-store or online at LUSH.

Does anything from this range appeal to you?

Lush Mother's Day Collection*

Hello! I hope you all had a beautiful Mother's Day, and was able to relax and enjoy time with your families. We went all the way to Aldinga Beach for a hotel lunch with my Mother-In-Law and let me just say, it was great to get some proper fresh air. Yes, I'm shading you, big city! Today I'm posting about the Lush Mother's Day collection, which arrived one and a bit business days before Mother's Day, and since I had two long appointments Friday and yesterday, I'm not getting a chance to write this until now. I'd love to be less busy for a hot minute! #justsayin'

I love flowers for Mother's Day, and this year I got a stack of goodies from the school Mother's Day stall and a tripod and accessories for my iPhone - all fantastic presents, but nothing even remotely floral! Along comes Ups-A-Daisy* with its fluro orange petals and bright pink centre, all smelling of a garden in bloom. Ups-A-Daisy is a chunky flower, too, with quite a bit of weight behind it. And it's double-sided, with the flipside bright yellow and blue. A bath bomb full of essential oils like bright orange oil, soft rose and soothing rosewood, perfect for pampering Mama!

Let's talk Pink Custard*, because frankly I haven't had dessert in ages (excluding the Lemon Curd Tart I had at our special Mother's Day lunch yesterday, but who's counting that?!). I generally prefer my Custard laced generously with brandy (is it Christmas yet?) but who can resist a pretty pink concoction that's more fun than the Mother-In-Law asking to see my pussy on Sunday (she obviously meant the photos of my cats, Nutmeg and Pumpkin, in my iPhone). I'm a huge fan of Lush shower jellies, the wibbly wobbly goodness is a bucketload of fun! A shower jelly scented with lavender and tonka, how can you go wrong?

Honey Lip Scrub* is self-explanatory, and although I occasionally have honey on my toast, unfortunately I do not like having this scrub on my lips. For some reason, I can't take the smell of this, and it would have to be my least favourite Lush lip scrub. Ones I'd recommend instead of this include Popcorn, Mint Juleps and my personal favourite, Sugar Plum Fairy (unfortunately a Limited Edition release and not currently available). We are all different when it comes to scents, so I imagine bee-lovin' honey fans would love this.

Haha OMG my poor sweet Elsie The Giraffe* arrived with her foot detached and I'm simultaneously amused and horrified. I'm sure she'll adapt to life without her yellow hoof (I had to gently shove it back into place for her photoshoot), and it won't cause her to end up in hot water. Bahahaha, THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE SHE'LL END UP.... SHE'S A BUBBLE BAR! And a reusable one at that! Poor Elsie will be in hot water over and over again! And the bathroom will smell of lemon, lime and grapefruit. Bring on the demise of Elsie!

Your Mother Should Know* is a bubble bar with a very strong scent of grapefruit, rosewood and neroli. I happen to enjoy strong scents as long as they're more citrussy than floral, but some people may find this BOOM fragrance a little much. Your Mother Should Know pearls of wisdom like 'treat others with respect', 'honesty is the best policy' and 'life's too short....'. I was taught these principles as a child and think it's so important to pass these life lessons onto my son, as his Mother, and just from one human being to another.
