Haul - Lush
12:53At the beginning of January I finally had some money again after recovering from buying everyone's Christmas prezzies :) so I decided to check out the Lush sale and was devastated to see that it had ended! I knew there'd still be the odd things in the actual shops but my nearest Lush is an hour bus ride away boo. :( So I was left feeling very deflated as I don't know about you but If I know I can buy Lush it makes me a very happy girly indeed! So I decided not to buy anything as I wouldn't be able to afford as much if it was all normal price and I'd have to pay the £3.95 packing and postage cost for hardly anything.
Two days ago I was browsing through different websites and decided to check out www.Lush.co.uk to see if they had put the Valentine's day products onto the website, so I could check them out. I glance across the page and see a link for 50% Off. I instantly went wide-eyed and had a huge grin on my face! I couldn't not buy some products after my disappointment previously.
So I scanned the site with glee and decided to purchase 7 sale items:
♥ Lil Lush Pud Bath Bomb - £1.96 £0.98
♥ Cinders Bath Bomb - £1.96 £0.98
♥ Gingerbread House Bubble Bar - £2.96 £1.48
♥ Three Gold Rings Bubble Bar - £3.76 £1.88
♥ So White Bath Bomb - £1.90 £0.95
♥ Superstar Bubble Bar - £2.26 £1.13
♥ Magic *Retro* Bath Bomb- £3.76 £1.88
And 3 non-sale items:
♥ Happy *Retro* Bubble Bar - £3.15
♥ You've Been Mangoed Luxury Bath Melt - £2.95
♥ Each Peach (And Two's A Pear) Massage Bar - £5.25
Total - £23.21
A Total Save Of: £6.70! - I was rather chuffed at this :)♥
I decided that the price of delivery was actually rather good considering how much I bought and it only took two days to come! That's amazing.
As you can see they all look intact which I was very pleased about, however my Happy Bubble Bar is missing his plastic wrapper :( at least he didn't get damaged! :)
However, as I went to photograph the items to show you on here, I realised they had gotten bashed around a tad as the bags were all very dusty inside with Bath Bomb and Bubble Bar residue. So I decided to just place them inside the plastic food bags, which I keep my lush items in, and show you them outside of any wrappings in the process. :)
Wrapped in their plastic food bags.

Lil Lush Pud Bath Bomb ♥
Well, this is definitely a Christmas scent. The website states that it is marzipan, lemon peel powder, clove powder, aloe vera extract and rose creation. I can definitely agree with the marzipan scent, it's a very distinct smell and this could put people off as it probably isn't everybody's cup of tea.
Cinders Bath Bomb ♥
So, this is one of my favourite Christmas items, it smells soo nice and I would have thought I wouldn't have liked it but it's not too overpowering like some Christmas scents that you get. It's a spicy smell but it isn't too much and I know it's very popular. :) Although, one thing I don't particularly believe in is the 'popping candy' on top, as i've never heard it crackle like a fire and i've bought it numerous times, so maybe that's just a gimick, who knows.
Gingerbread House Bubble Bar ♥
This is the first time I've ever bought the gingerbread house and it is adorable! I absolutely love it and it does smell like gingerbread, however it isn't a very overpowering scent of ginger but also has more sweet notes to it.
Three Gold Rings Bubble Bar ♥
Again, this is a very 'warm' scent, at least I think so. However, to me it's more of a creamy spice rather than just straight up spices smelling. I really do love this one and can't wait to try it!
So White Bath Bomb ♥
I've heard a lot of things about this one, most saying it smells of apples and it's gorgeous! Well, I love fruity scents, they're my favourite and apples are one of the very top. however, although I can smell the apple scent very clearly there is also an underlying scent of something i can't quite put my finger on, it's sort of... Wash powdery? Strange but I still do really like it.
Superstar Bubble Bar ♥
This smells of strawberry and fruity, sweet goodness! :) I really like the subtle sweetness of this one, it isn't as bold as some of the other sweet smelling items from Lush and I really like it because of this.
Magic *Retro* Bath Bomb ♥
I don't really know what to say about this one, I couldn't put my finger on what this smelt of but I must say i wasn't very keen, I'm going to wait until i've used it once to pass judgment :) maybe the effects will win me over.
Happy *Retro* Bubble Bar ♥
I was really looking forward to this bubble bar as I remember it being described as a scent I though i'd really like. However, it smells very earthy and fresh and I must admit I'm not sure on this one maybe if it makes a nice colour for my bath water, I'll like it more. :)
You've Been Mangoed Luxury Bath Melt ♥
AMAZING! I love this sooo much! I cannot stress how wonderful this is. I have eczema and I used around a quarter of this small bar everytime I went in the bath, the last time I purchased it, and my skin was so incredibly soft and moisturised it was unreal. I adore the scent of this, it smells very orange-y and citrus smelling but it is divine! I love, love, love this!
Each Peach (And Two's A Pear) Massage Bar ♥
Now, I bought this one because I have been wanting to buy a massage bar for a long time, I want to see if it will help as I have eczema so my skin gets very dry :( and at first impressions it is amazing! It glides on and is very oily but doesn't have that greasy feeling, how awesome?! It smells so similar to the You've Been Mangoed bath melt and I adore that as you know so I have a feeling this was an item I shall be repurchasing over and over again.
Well, that's all :) I shall be reviewing all of these products along with photographs of each one after I have used them.
