Lush - Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb Review

Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb - Lush - £1.95 - BUY 

 As far as Lushs extensive range of bath bombs go, this is on the simpler end of the scale. I was given this as a gift, but only just found out its designed for children aged 6 months+ - so in terms of that, this is the cutest idea and why shouldnt a child get to enjoy a fun bath too!

The robot design is adorable and the scent of Lavender isnt too overpowering which I personally love in a bath.

The overall effect isnt too thrilling - a very pale blue - but its still somewhat visible. Mine settled abit towards the end of the bomb which is a shame as I love leaving my bath to run and when I come back its all ready for me.

As always, heres the bomb in full effect....

Overall, I think this is nice for an everyday bath, the £1.95 pricetag is pleasing on the purse and you're still getting that Lush bath experience. I'd personally add some bubble bars or some other goodies to give it that bit of extra something but for what it is its a lovely bath bomb, and I know if I had a baby I'd love to think it had its first Lush bath at 6months old!!

Have you tried this or any of the simpler Lush bomb range?? I'd love to know what you advise!!

Mothers Day Ideas from Lush

A few weeks I posted all about how I fell in love with the latest range on offer at Lush. I focused on the Easter range - post here -  and told you guys I'd be back with the Mothers day range closer to the time.

Well its your last full weekend until the big day (you could go out next Saturday but thats pushing it) so I'm here to tell you my top picks for mums across the UK.

Annoyingly-ish for me, my mum doesnt care about these occasions and her birthday actually falls next Wednesday, 4 days before so I've already bought her a lovely gift for that instead. She actually just wants a H&M voucher so thats on my to-buy list for this weekend!

However, if she was your average mum I would treat her to these amazing gift ideas..

1) Madame Butterfly Reuseable Bubble Bar - £5.25 - BUY
This is scented with the same ingredients as Rose Jam so if you were a fan of that, then you'll this!
I always think 5.25 is pretty expensive for a bath item but as its reuseable I think they justify themselves with the pricetag.

2) Secret Garden Bath Bomb - £2.95 - BUY
This is the one I've got my eye on. The secret garden is a bomb that contains a variety of flower buds for the most floral bathtime! Its really pretty and I think as a little shopping trip add-on its ideal for less than £3

3) Mumkin Bubble Bar - £2.95 - BUY
The next step on from the Halloween range of the orange Pumpkin and the Mumkin is a lovely pink shade thats infused with the scent of raspberries! I tried the Pumpkin last year and found it crumbled into the bath quite strangely leaving some lumps behind, but if i'm honest, the raspberry scent is making me want to buy this!!

4)Inhale Exhale BathBomb - £3.25 - BUY
Probably one of the most talked about Bathbombs in the range at the moment, the InhaleExhale bomb fizzes at different speeds to give you a relaxing and prolonged bath.

5)The Mum Reuseable Bubble Bar - £3.25 - BUY
Essentially just the same as Madame Butterfly but I couldnt not include this one, Its packed with the 'Honey I Washed The Kids' sweet caramel ingredients so its bound to be great!

6)Mum Gift Tin - £28.95 - BUY
They've been very clever in producing a whole load of gift sets this year but this just happens to be the queen of them all (and of course the most expensive). In this tin your mum will receive:
A Mumkin, An InhaleExhale Bomb, A The Mum Bubble Bar, a tub of Dream Cream, a sample of Gorgeous moisturiser and a Rose bubble bar.


Those are my top picks but I was honestly spoilt for choice with this lot!
You can few the full Mothers Day range here.

What are you doing for Mothers Day this year??

Lush Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb Review

If theres an extra addition I love in a pamper session its always a Bath Bomb - even better if its a Lush Bath Bomb

(eventually I will blog about something other than Lush - I promise but I seem to just be really into awesome baths at the moment)

Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb - Lush - £3.25 - BUY

This is an all-round bath bomb, its perfect as a gift, as a personal treat and suits all kinds of occasions.
For me, If you've read my review on The Snowman Bath Bomb - here - You'll know as much as I love receiving these as gifts, I find every now and then you get some just don't show off their full potential. This happens to be one.
If you've clicked the link to the bomb ^^ up there ^^ the picture shows these looking so so cute and sweet but I don't feel mine does it justice in terms of appearance but we'll forgive it in this instance purely as I didn't choose it for review (I think my mum had it a while so the roses arent as pretty as they should be).

The smell of this does not dissapoint, its, obviously, teaming with floral scents from the roses, floral orris root powder along with the fresh fragrance of Lemon. 
As this is a white bomb - I wasn't expecting a rainbow of colours in the bath, besides, that would have hugely taken away the sweetness of the rose buds as you bathe.

These are what you're left with, 7 adorable roses to relax in whilst their beautifully sweet scents surround the entire room!

- Make sure you remove them once you've bathed or else you will have your boyfriend/mum/dad/person shouting 'Bloody rose buds in the plughole' when they go to take their own shower! (not basing this on any personal experience ;) )

As with all my Bath Bomb reviews - be sure to check out the video below - I've sorted out the auto-focus HURRAH! This gives you a run down of what to expect from the bomb before you buy!

Have you given this Bomb a try? I'd love to know which ones you recommend!?

The New Spring / Easter Collection 2014 at Lush

This week my love of Lush got even higher (who knew that was possible) when they released the HUGE collection of Spring items full of inspriation for Easter, Mothers day and the fresh Spring season which is so close to finally been here. I can't be the only one a little sick of winter weather now.

For todays post, I've decided to stick to just the Easter themed products, and I'll post the Mothers Day launch later next week!

1 - Carrot Soap - £3.95 (100g) - BUY
I always love a new Lush soap and it gets bonus points for being vegan friendly but unfortunatly my nose wasn't a fan. In honesty, its not helping that the carrot smell isnt really my favourite smell but you do get a hint of the tropical scents that claim to 'linger on your skin' after you've used it so I think for me, this would have to be a tryer before I claim weather or not I like it.

2 - Bunch of Carrots Bubble Bars - £5.95 - BUY
HOW ADORABLE ARE THESE? I love the idea of swishing carrots around a bath to release their fruity smells (tropical AND blackcurrant?! I'm intrigued). That sounds weirder than its meant too, but I'm not the one inventing carrots as bath products.  Its nice that you get 3 for the price of this, I think £2-ish each makes sense especially because their reuseable Bubble Bars.

3 - Bunny Bubble Bar - £3.25 - BUY
These smell beautiful and make a great added delight to any bath!!

4 - Fluffy Egg Bath Bomb - £2.95 - BUY
I couldnt not include an egg in an Easter post now could I?! Granted this is pretty much the Think Pink BathBomb but in egg form but it smells beautiful and I'm tempted to buy purely for the sweet, sugary scent.

5 - Funny Bunny Gift Set - £19.95 - BUY
Theres a few gift sets to choose from this Easter but my personal fave is this super cute bunny one! This is actually the more expensive one, but I often find they are so much more worth it as the smaller ones tend to be mostly packaging. This cute scarf shape includes a Bunch of Carrots, a Fluffy Egg and 2 Bunny Bubble Bars.
 
6 -  Golden Egg Bath Bomb - £3.50 - BUY
They've infused this glittery babe with the infamous scent of Honey I Washed The Kids. I think if you want a bath before a night out to give yourself a bit of sparkle then this is the one! Not so much if you're off to work the next day, I often find glitter a bit messy but I'm so so tempted to buy this!

How adorable are all of these!!!

These are just a few bits I chose from the Easter section to talk about but you can view the whole range on their website here. Make sure you check out this, The Brightside, I'll admit I forgot I wanted to include this. I shamefully actually went back round the shop to smell this, its fresh and fruity and is def on my to buy list!!

What do you guys think of the Easter selection? Which do you think you're going to be buying???

Let me know in the comments below!!

Belated review of Lushs - The Snowman Bomb Ballistic

So basically this review is 2 months too late but whilst looking for a Lush product toreview, I found this in the packet that I received for Christmas off my parents.

The Snowman Bomb Ballistic is so fitting for the past seasons range, it smells musky with a hint of the classic christmas warmth that lingers in the air.

Snowman Bath Bomb - Link

From first appearance you can totally see the colour and shape they're going for, although this was a gift so I couldnt exactly be picky, I still love my bath bombs from Lush to be in good shape. I think this ones rather messy and I get they can't make them perfect but its not the cutest looking example they had on offer.

I also understand that its clear theres not much colour going on (I mean what do you expect from a snowman) but when it comes to a bathbomb, I think colour is pretty key.
The Video below (which I will do for all my bombs) shows exactly what it does.
- Sorry about the auto-focus constantly, I'm just learning how to use the boyfriends camera.

As you can see, it starts off as a vibrant christmas fire orange, but quickly fades as the red flakes (which stick to your bath) then start to dissolve.
You're actually left with this....

So really, not too impressive.
However, it does make a huge difference to the water, The Snowman is made up of the cocoa butter which is in the Butterball which I mentioned the other day here. I actually said how excited I was to try this as its meant to be super relaxing, I really didnt like the feel of The Snowman cocoa butter on me. It brought a very slipperly and oily effect to my bath which I don't particularly like the feeling on my skin.

Overall, I don't think this was the BathBomb for me even thought I'm a HUGE fan of them normally.

Have you tried any of these bathbombs??

Lush - Honey Farm Gift Set Review

Like most people in the UK, I am a huge fan of Lush and their wide range of products available. It could be the fact the packaging is recycleable, the products are vegan friendly, the fact they take so many people into consideration or the strong ethical reasonings behind each and every product.

All I know is, everyone seems to love it. Until I went to Uni 4 years ago I had never really experienced Lush as it was always slightly over my price budget however, once student loans entered my life, me and Lush have been inseperable ever since.

Today my focus is this beautiful gift set, I'm yet to fully try all these products so reviews will follow these soon!

Honey Farm Gift Set - Lush - £20.95 - BUY

I received this as a gift off my boyfriend a few months back and although I took the photos for review, I happened to completely forget about it so I'm just going to talk you through the products you get with it and a link to their individual purchase.

 Its Raining Men Showergel 100g - £4.50 - BUY

This is a super creamy honey showergel, you can tell why they've picked it as part of this set as its the one showergel which compliments all the other products in this box.

Honey I Washed The Kids Soap 100g - £3.40 - BUY

Lush refer to this as one of their biggest selling soaps, although I can't give a 'tried and tested' review it has yet to grab my attention. It could be because the sweet smelling caramel / creme brule appeal isnt for me. I don't like my bath/beauty things to smell like confectionary as I often find it can be very overpowering and sickly. I think thats what puts me off this product personally but I'll be interested to see if it stays this strong once used.

Sweet Coeur Massage Bar - £4.75 - BUY

I've actually used this once already when my boyfriend was saying how much his back was hurting so I thought I'd give this a quick try. Its packed full of fragrances and mosturising butters to ensure its smooth during the massage. The factor I think I've missed is the website states it will be messy and melt quickly, however, mine actually stayed in pretty good shape. I needed to give it time to dry in the bathroom before putting it back with my products but its still kept pretty good form.

Butterball Bath Bomb - £2.50 - BUY 

The butterball isn't as big as the usually bombs the shop has to offer, which could be why its such a good price on its own. I cannot wait to try this as its suppose to have great mosturising properties as its full of pieces of cocoa butter which are often found in body lotions.

HoneyBee Bathbomb - £3.25 - BUY

Made from Honey, Aloe Vera and Rhassoul Mud from Morrocco, I cannot wait to try this. Its made from elements of both the soap and showergel from this set so by the sounds of it you can have a super honey filled bath!

So thats a quick run through of this set, if you're good at maths you'll notice each individual products adds up to just over £18 so effectively you do pay for the packaging / pretty paper.

Personally, I love this set and I think the extra few quid if youre giving this as a gift is perfect! (plus saves you wrapping it). If you wanted to treat yourself, then you could just buy them seperatly but I do love a good gift box.

Have you tried any of the Lush gift sets??
