A little lush haul...

Now that the weather has turnt colder, and my work schedule includes alot of night shifts, I've become more partial than ever to a bath. Lush is always my favorite place to go for bathtime goodies. The christmas range always leaves me excited and I've managed to nab a few ahead of the christmas rush. I am forever uploading pictures of my baths on instagram if you are interested in seeing these in action..

(L-R from packaged picture)

Shoot for the stars bath bomb £3.65 - 'Stay very still to watch the swirling colours of the night sky dazzle in your bath water. As the calming blanket of shimmering midnight blue unfolds, Brazilian orange and bergamot oils take your skin to heaven and your mood rocketing up to the stars'

Father christmas bath bomb £3.65 - This one caught my eye because of the super green fizzy bath it produces! 'Before making this, Father Christmas must have stopped at a sweet shop for stocking fillers because it smells like freshly spun candy floss. Soak away the hours in sweet, mouthwatering waters as the blushing red of Santa's cheeks fizz away to reveal a vivid, holly green centre'

Dashing santa bath bomb £2.95 - More of a foam style fizz as appose to clear bubbles 'Santa's golden boots fizz away first, sending him dashing around delivering lustrous waters of cheery mandarin oil. Bright, fruity bergamot and orange flower absolutes scent the air like fresh satsumas, making him a perfect treat for the bottom of stockings.'

Intergalactic bath bomb £3.95 - Not part of the christmas range, if you are a fan of a massive colour pay off, this is the one for you! 'Ever wondered what bathing in deep space would be like? Invite the cosmos into your bathroom with this sexy, interstellar bomb and become the guardian of your own galaxy. An awesome mix of refreshing peppermint and neon colour sends your mood rocketing, while popping candy takes you on a trip around the Milky Way. Constellations swirl and pop, creating vibrant lustre vortexes in the night sky. Before you leap too far, rogue layers of vetivert and cedarwood take hold, evoking the warmth of human contact far from home and a hint of 80s aftershave. Return from your intergalactic brief encounter as the grounding scent brings you gently back from orbit.'

Peeping santa bubble bar £3.95 - I actually saw this one online, and my other half picked this up for me as a just because gift, I was stolen by this little guys cute apperance and the amazing red bubble bath he produces ... p.s I've only just discovered that bubble bars are different to bath bombs and need to be broken up under running water 'Santa's always watching with his dairy free chocolate drop eyes, waiting for his batch of hand-churned shea butter from the Ojoba women's cooperative in Ghana to be ready. When the festive season comes round, it's blended with Fair Trade Organic Cocoa butter to make the filling between Santa's sandwich of strawberry-sweet bergamot and geranium oils. Crumble under the running water for sack loads of fruity bubbles.'

How I'll be spending my easter weekend

If you follow me on any social media platform you'll know that I work in London, and whilst that all being well and good .. the two hour commute either side of my day and the night shift I'm required to do is a massive ball ache. BUT, not this week, NO. Easter sunday is approaching and I'm going to be spending my Sunday work and night shift free, so I thought I'd share with you what I'll be doing this Easter ...
001: Family Roast Every easter since I can remember my family and I have always came together for a roast. We also uphold the tradition of doing an easter egg hunt in my nans garden yes I am 22 I have a very small but busy family and I absolutely treasure seasonal roasts and get togethers
002: Burning a Yankee candle  I've developed abit of an obsession around Yankee candles as of late and Bunny Cake is the latest jar to my collection, the scent is really subtle and sweet and I love to leave this on in the room for around an hour before bed for a really relaxing scent
003: Indulgence: Because if you can't eat all the chocolate and cake in the world on Easter then when can you?
004: Taking a bath: Yes, I do partake in personal hygiene - but it is a VERY rare occasion that I get the chance to kick back in the bath. I promised myself I wouldn't miss out on the Lush Easter collection and I wasn't disappointed by the offerings I picked up, these are 'golden egg' and 'hoppity poppity' - boy am I looking forward to un winding with one of these come sunday night 
- remember! its okay to have down time! How are you spending you're Easter weekend?

Lush: Snow fairy magic wand review

Lush Snow Fairy Magic Wand - £4.95

Lush says...
The magic of this version is that you can wave your wand under the water until you have the amount of bubbles you want – then you just stash it somewhere safe to dry off, ready for when you next bath.

We’ve included pink ribbon and a bell, because if you are going to wave your wand, then you need some added drama and special effects!
You should get several baths from this, depending on how much bubbly magic you want in your bath.  Each one will leave you smelling of candy floss and pear drops. Baths don’t get more yummy or more girly than this. 

Review...I'll be the first to admit that a) I'm not Lush's usual cult buyer and b) I'm a sucker for anything pretty. The Snow fairy magic wand has been on my wish list for a while, I don't know if its the concept of using a magic wand in the bath, the amazing bright pink colour of the thing or a mixture of both! I was gifted this for Christmas and have been putting off using it as I was worried I'd only be able to use it once. However I swirled this around the bath a good 4/5 times and it stayed on its stick and I had no nasty bits in with me! I have very sensitive skin and luckily this product didn't effect me in the slightest. It has a really nice flowery, bubble gum scent (fantastic description for you) but it wasn't overpowering which I was afraid of ! It gave me bubbles, pink water and soft skin afterwards! I'd probably purchase this again purely for the quality of the product, and if your thinking of buying a Lush product for the first time I'd probably go for this!  8/10
