Mini LUSH Haul

This year, I am delaying getting the Christmas LUSH bath ballistics and bubbles bars. Don't be alarmed, I am still very much addicted to LUSH at this time of year, I just have quite a few that I purchased or received as gifts lately!! (Had you worried there, didn't I? ;)) 


My birthday being when it is (in November), it is the perfect time to receive LUSH bath products and I do receive quite a bit of them as everyone is very well aware of how much I adore them! I have to say, though, I do prefer bubbles over just a different coloured water, so I do tend to give bubble bars more of a chance than the bath ballistics. 
As Dermot O'Leary says, "in no particular order", these are the LUSH products that I have obtained over the past 2 weeks.


The Comforter
This one I received recently as a gift and, although I haven't actually tried it out yet, the smell is AMAZING! 'The Comforter' is a rich, sweet and fruity bubble bar that contains Bergamot Oil which uplifts and cleanses the body, Cypress Oil which calms and tones and also an ingredient called Cassis Absolute which is supposed to comfort you and make you feel at ease.  This product from LUSH, as well as the benefit of creating mountains of bubbles in your bath, lasts such a long time as it is absolutely MAHOOSIVE! Perfect for those days when you don't want too much bubbles or when you're taking a shallow bath. It has the look of Candy Mountain from the Christmas collection because of the alternate pink and white swirls, but without the Snow Fairy scent!  This one won't be finishing in a hurry! 


Butterbear
"Butterbear" is LUSH's spin-off on Butterball. It has the same vanilla fragrance but is 100x cuter! Although this particular product doesn't leave your bath an exciting colour or creates bubbles, it does contain Fairtrade Organic Cocoa Butter and Ylang Ylang Oil, which will nourish and soften your body helping you to wind-down easier.  I always think that older people would usually buy this product as I wouldn't imagine it would interest young children. However, there are PLENTY of other bath ballistics and bubble bars for younger LUSH fans to enjoy! I think Butterbear is going to my new favourite because it makes my body feel so so amazing and doesn't everyone want smooth-to-the-touch skin? ;)



Pop In The Bath

'Pop In The Bath' bubble bar is a classic. This is one of their bath products that are there all year round to enjoy. The light and refreshing scents of this bubble bar is sure to uplift your mood and turn that frown upside-down! The cute little flower on the top surface is a
nice little touch too! With most bath ballistics and bubble bars, there is only one option, but for Pop In The Bath, there are four- yes, FOUR, different colours to choose from , all with the same scent.  The smell that this bubble-maker gives out is a light, bright, zesty one with oils such as Lemon, Bergamot oil and Orange Flower Absolute, so you will definitely feel refreshed and on your feet in no time!  Pop In The Bath is an all-rounder as it is bright and fresh, so perfect for during-the-week baths when you want some me-time but don't want to dedicate a whole evening to yourself- plus, if there are FOUR colours to choose from, what more could you want?!


Lord of Misrule

Don't quote me on this, but I think the "Lord of Misrule" was a limited edition bath ballistic or is a discontinued product in the UK as I can't find it anywhere on the website. I can't really comment on this one as I actually haven't used it yet and seeing as I can't find it on the website, I am reluctant to use it so soon! To view this bath ballistic on the American Website click here.  Just like all of the bath bombs that LUSH do, this one froths in the water and travels from one side of the tub to the other on its own, leaving a trail of mixed colours behind it. According to the LUSH USA website, it has a wine-coloured centre but starts of with releasing a green froth into the water as that is the the colour of the exterior. As well as the excitement you can see with your eyes, your ears get a treat too! Popping candy is infused in this product which makes the bath time experience that much more magical! The patchouli and black pepper oil in this bath ballistic gives that amazing spicy/herbal scent which I am actually a fan of, which makes it all the more tempting to use this DISCONTINUED-POSSIBLY PRODUCT *smush face*. 



Think Pink
Another LUSH classic. An all year product.  Any girl (or guy) will feel pretty in pink after taking a dip in their pink/purple water filled bath tub. The scent that "Think Pink" gives out is vanilla-y with ingredients such as Tonka Absolute which is described as being similar to vanilla with added spicy scents as well as hints of cherry. On their website, LUSH describe the sweet scent coming from "Fairtrade Vanilla Absolute, while Tonka adds a caramel undertone", so an all-round sweet smelling bath ballistic, with added citrus scents from Neroli with hints of lavender to uplift you after a particular tiresome day! 
Sweet surprises are always my thang so this bath ballistic is just the thing for me as once it has fizzed and whizzed around the tub, it leaves a gorgeous array of rice paper confetti in the shape of cute..little...HEARTS! *heart-eyed emoji*
Instead of being a plain pink bath bomb, it has the nice little touch of 3 flowers at the top which makes it that much more girly and attractive. 


And that is my LUSH haul! I hope you enjoyed what bath goodies I have gathered in the last few weeks and maybe this post will give you an idea as to what to buy as gifts for other people or maybe you will try some new products that you have maybe never tried before! 

Thank you reading! Which LUSH products are your favourites? Do you prefer bath ballistics or bubbles bars?
