Lush - Ray Of Sunshine Gift Set

 

Ray Of Sunshine Gift Set - Lush - £14.95 - BUY 

This amazing set was actually given to me as a birthday present back in November (These photos arent recent, I have actually used them!)

I was so grateful as the friend who bought it me did a huge favour as I'm usually a strawberry / fruit/sweet kinda girl - so I was actually excited to try a citrus based box!

I've decided to do this little preview of the box now because I think this is so summery and fresh and didnt really fit in well with the New Year blues. Full reviews will follow :)

As Lush gift sets go, I'm always a huge fan of them - I do think they're not always the greatest on money saving ideas but for presents they are perfect and already wrapped up so everyones a winner!!

Here what you'll find inside the box (with links to individual products).....

 Bohemian Soap - £3.10 for 100g - BUY

If theres one thing I seem to crave every summer its anything Lemon related (Lemon Fanta is only amazing abroad am I right?). It is literally packed full of freshness and as you can cearly tell theres even lemon inside it! Personally, I have found this a tad drying on my skin but I'll go more into that on the full review.

 Sugar Scrub Body Scrub (sample) - £2.95 for 100g - BUY

I didnt even know that the 50g was a sample so I think this is pretty impressive personally! Although you can clearly read the photo - this is packed full of sugar, grated ginger and fresh fennel perfect for a refreshing body scrub! I'll admit I've not used this yet as I mention in my Soap and Glory post the other day (here) that I'm depressingly lazy with body scrubs in general but the websites amazing reviews has made me want to try this now!

 Each Peach Massage Bar (shaped into a face) - £5.75 for 50g - BUY

How adorable is this!! If theres one thing I've fallen in love with in 2014, its massage bars Re: Pulled Muscle - Click Here - they are a complete godsend and so gentle whilst you'll getting out ultimate pain! The peach one is soothing and isnt too overpowering like the previous cinnamon one I talked about.

The Olive Branch Shower Gel - £4.50 for 100g - BUY

As the name suggests this contains olive oil to give that extra bit of life into skin - I love using this when my skin i feeling a bit dry and needs that boost that other products just won't give it! You can use this in your hair too which I'm tempted to try too but I always worry about adding oil into my hair! If you've used this, please let me know your tips + tricks!


So there you go, a simple but jam packed little box from Lush, if you've used any of these products please let me know your thoughts below or have any citrus-esque recommendations as I really want to venture out into new products!

TreacleMoon - Iced Strawberry Dream Shower Gel Review

Iced Strawberry Dream - TreacleMoon - £2 - Tesco - BUY

When it comes to shower gels, I'm not usually too fussy if I'm honest, I do love a good lux brand every now and then but for me, as long as it smells amazing, I'm pretty happy.

When I saw this on the shelves in my local Tesco, I was pretty much adament I needed it in my bathroom as it was soooo fruity and looked really thick which I love!

 This has lasted me well over a year (using on and off of course) but its very much a little goes a long way and for £2, thats pretty good going.

As far as a showergel goes, it does all it needs too whilst leaving you smelling like a sweetie strawberry delight, its one of those 'smells good enough to eat' products!

As you can probably tell, I'm holding onto the last little bit for as long as possible as I read this was a limited edtion somewhere but I've seen it on the Tesco website, so I will without a doubt be going down to pick some more of these up soon!!!!

For a supermarket shelf find, I thought this was a great product, its fruity, does everything you need and the scent is an amazing pick me up for anytime of day!!!

Have you had any amazing cheap and cheerful supermarket finds??

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??
