Every year I get so excited when I start to see Christmas Lush hauls appear in my blog feed and youtube subscription box as I love seeing what Festive products Lush has come up with, as they are always so beautiful! However, I had never actually brought anything before as I had always found it so hard to choose which products to buy as my wishlist was probably 90% of their Christmas Range, but this year I decided to give in and treat myself to a few bits, which then turned into a lot! (doesn't it always!) So I thought I'd share with you guys what I picked up. I have actually bought so much that I have decided to divide the haul into two parts - one on all the bath bombs I picked up; which is what I am going to share with you today and then the second post on all the bubble bars and shower bits I picked up in a that will be going up on Friday so keep your peepers peeled for that!
Can we also just appreciate how cute the bags are this year - it's pink with an adorable Butterbear on! The bags for the individual products this year are special too, the ones from the store I went to are orange with a the Christmas Penguin on (there is a better picture of it for Part 2 of this Lush Haul) although I have seen a couple of different designs online so I am guessing it depends on what the store you go to has, but to be honest there all so pretty!
In my opinion, this little guy is thee cutest of all the bath bombs lush has to offer. He is made using Fairtrade cocoa butter, cocoa powder so not only does he smell delicious, the cocoa butter is super beneficial for the skin too! I have actually picked up two of these little fellas as I love the scent so much I know I just won't be able to wait until next year to pick him up again - it's also the cheapest of the Christmas products they have to offer so I don't feel quite so guilty about it!
Out of all the Christmas bath bomb's they have this one looks like the most boring, but it's probably my favorite scent out of them all. It is scented with Vanilla Absolute, Rosewood and Bergamot oil and to me has a lovely warm vanilla and a hint of marzipan to it which I absolutely love! The scent isn't overpoweringly strong either (by LUSH standards anyway!) which works really well with this scent as it is quite sweet, so it's not too sickly! Although on the outside it looks quite plain, once put in water it looks very pretty having seen it on the lush website, so I'm very excited to give this one a go! Like Butterbear, I also picked two of these up as the scent is just heavenly!
Father Christmas is an adorable, candy floss scented and is
Very sweet! The scent is also very strong too so I imagine when you pop him in the bath the whole room will smell amazing! The scent is the classic Snow Fairy scent which is a Christmas Lush Classic - and I love it! It's definitely the most traditionally festive out of the bath bombs they have this year and I'm very excited to pop this little guy in the tub on Christmas! Although just a word of warning, if you don't like strong sickly sweet scents this might not be one for you, but I would urge you to give it a sniff and see as it's too cute to just dismiss!
Although Lord of Misrule isn't strictly a Christmas product and is released with the Halloween range, but it does stick around until Christmas so I'm counting it! When I read the description online that it is Black Pepper Oil, Patchouli and Vanilla Absolute I was slightly skeptical as to what it would smell like as it is very different to anything I've ever gone for before as I usually go for sweet scents, but I love it! It has a lovely spicy scent with a hint of the sweet vanilla which stops the spice from being too overpowering so it has lovely warmth to it.
Firstly can I just say that the smell of this reminds me of Chocolate Orange - It is scented with Brazilian Orange oil, Cocoa Butter and Bergamot oil which is probably why! Shoot for the Stars has been part of the Christmas range before but this year it looks slightly different; this year it is all blue with glittery gold bath melts which are amazing and moisturising for the skin. I also can't wait to pop it in the bath as I think it will look like a beautiful starry sky - although I'm not sure my bath will be a fan of all the glitter!
Mistltoe Bath Bomb is scented with Jasmine Absolute, Vetivert and Ylang-Ylang oil which isn't usually the kind of scents I go for as I'm not really a huge fan of floral scents, however, I actually really like it as I find that it's quite a subtle floral scent and not like a very perfumey floral fragrance - it also has a lovely sweetness to it which is lovely. The actual design of the bath bomb itself is beautiful too!
The Luxury Lush Pud is a classic! Not only does it look amazing with all the bright multi colours and the adorable piece of holly in the top but it smells amazing too! It is scented with Lavender, Tonka, and Benzion Resinoide so it would be perfect for a pre-bedtime bath as the scent is very calming and just makes be feel so relaxed whenever I smell it!
I couldn't buy bits from Lush's Christmas range without picking up a Golden Wonder! Every video or blog post watch it appears that it is one of everyone's favourites and I can see why. It is scented with Sweet Orange oil, Cognac Oil, and Lime Oil, so although it doesn't smell traditionally festive it has a lovely fresh citrus scent. I also really like the design of this bath bomb with it being an adorable shimmer gold present - although I feel like the gold shimmer is going to be a nightmare to clean if it leaves any residue as it is soo fine so it's deffinately one to use when the bath is in need of a clean, not just after you've cleaned it! Did i forget to mention how big it is, because it's huge! So you deffinately get your moneys worth with this one as if you were to cut it you could probably get two baths out of it although I think I'll use it in one go as I don't want to ruin the effect - especially for my first time using it!
So that is all the bath bombs that I picked up from Lush and I am so excited to use them all! I'd deffinately reccomend picking up some of the Lush Christmas products before they disaper! Especially in their amazing boxing day sale that they usually have each year!
Are there any Lush Bath Bombs that I didn't pick up that you love? or any that you love just as much as me? Let me know as I'd hate to miss out on any amazing products in the future - although I think it will be a while before I need to treat myself to anymore!
(Links for each product are the Name of the product and price, so if you click on it, it will take you straight to that product!)
