The Best Lush Bath Ever - Intergalactic Review

Getting back into things then. January was an okay month for me but I feel my blog suffered. I talked about this more in my recent JanuaryUpdate post, so today I’ll just jump right in into a good-old LUSH review.

Lush's Yog Nog Treat

Hey everyone. Everything’s getting festive right now and I recently treated myself to a lovely LUSH bath bomb. This time around, I tried Yog Nog, a combination of spicy clove and shea butter.

Best Budget Body Care: Original Source Shower Gels

Hey everyone. On my last few supermarket visits, I have discovered my new favourite budget body care product- the shower gels from Original Source. I picked this up on offer, expecting it to be nothing too much more than average but it was far better….

Bathtime Review // Twilight LUSH Bath Bomb

Hey,

So it’s been a while since I did a ‘bathtime review’ post reviewing a bath/ body product and I recently treated myself to a LUSH bathbomb so I thought I’d talk a bit about it! This time the bath bomb I picked up was Twilight and I loved it!

Bathtime Review: Shea Butter by Body Shop

Hey,

So today I decided that it was time for another of my bathtime reviews. I haven’t done one of these in a while so I hope you’ll all enjoy it and remember to leave your recommendations down below.

So today I will be reviewing some Shea Butter scented products from the Body Shop. Shea butter is made from nuts, and has a sweet nutty scent. I find the fragrance really inoffensive and soothing, so is great for a bath. It’s not overpowering or in your face, so I think this range is one a lot of people would like.

My Bathtime Review // Honeymania from The Body Shop

Hey,

So, after reviewing 2014 on my blog, I’ve decided that when I do reviews on bath and body products, such as my Body Shop and LUSH bathbomb posts, I will put them into a series called ‘My Bathtime Review’. In this series, I will be showing a range of items, from different brands and price brackets, and will be telling you my honest thoughts on them. I hope putting them in a series will make my reviews more clear and easy for you and the series will give you something to look forward to.

So today I will reviewing three products from The Body Shop’s Honeymania range. I recently received these as a Christmas gift and ever since I have loved them. Before I had mainly been addicted to the Coconut range and hadn’t tried any other scents, so when I tried this super fresh scent I was in love.

Honeymania is made from the sugary sweetness of honey and is such a lovely range; I would say the honey flavour would work in any season- especially spring and summer. I have been testing out the body butter, scrub and bubble bath melt. The products are really fragrant and when you use them they really do give you their scent.

I have tried the body scrubs from The Body Shop before and I have enjoyed them but general found them a little harsh. However, the Honeymania sugar scrub has a different texture altogether and softer then before. I use this when I’m having a bath and it helps to keep your skin soft.

The second product I’ve used is the bubble bath melt. I did not know that this product even existed because it is currently only available in the Honeymania range, and I’m so overjoyed that I found it. It works like a bubble bath and, if you add a little amount to your bath’s running water, it will make so many fragrant bubbles. I also think it makes your bath water scented and I would say works as an equivalent to a LUSH bathbomb.

The third product is the body butter. I’ve tried a few of these before and they simply are my favourite body lotion available. Soft and moistening, the body butter works to make your skin soft and smooth. Mostly I use it when I get out the bath on slightly damp skin, but you could use it in a variety of ways. I think The Body Shop Body Butters are The Body Shop’s most popular and well-loved item and there definitely is a reason for that!

So overall I would really recommend this range and it is now my favourite one that The Body Shop have to offer! I hope you enjoyed this view and that you are maybe inspired to try these products too. Remember to check out my link below and that you can ask me anything-related questions here for my Q&A. I hope you’ve had an amazing first week of 2015,

Bathtime Review- LUSH Gold FUN | Blogmas Day 5

Hey,

So recently I made the brave decision to battle the crowds in LUSH in order to treat myself to a pamper product. I had a great time smelling all the different Christmas bits, and in the end I went for a product I’ve never tried before- FUN.

FUN is basically an all-round product that works as a soap, shampoo and bubble bath. It’s a little bit more pricy than other lush products, but you only use a little amount at a time, so lasts for a lot more baths.

The FUN I have is in the gold scent, which smells so much like toffee! The FUN is a golden colour and has flecks of golden glitter in it.

Another thing about fun is that it is mouldable so you can change its shape. It’s only a bit of fun but I like having something to do while my bath water is running.

If you want to use it as a bubble bath, like I did, just crumble a small amount under the running tap.  This makes your bath smell so nice because the scent of the FUN spreads in your water. The strength of the colour depends on how much of your FUN you use in your bath; for me this was not a problem as I only used a small bit, so my bath did not turn too yellowy.

I love the smell of this product so much and I love the fact that it is reusable! It’s £5 and has been brought out especially for Christmas this year. I have only used it once so far but am excited for using it now its winter!

I hope you liked this review, I’d love to hear your comments on this product or any other bath-time product because in winter I have baths soooo often. I hope you all are having a festive Friday,

Cinders Bath Bomb | Lush Reviews

Hey,

So this is another of my Lush bath bomb reviews. This time I went in and the store had all the new items in, however I could not let myself buy Christmassy things- so I bought Cinders, a fireworks night themed bath bomb.

The first thing I loved about this is the smell. Now autumn/winter has hit, I no longer want sweet scents or fresh fragrances, but a warmer deeper smell. This is hat Cinders gives you. Made with popping candy, cinnamon leaf oil and almond oil, as well as orange, the scent isn’t too overpowering but works a treat.

The bath bomb is smaller than the large bat bomb, so is just £2.50. When dropped into the bath it fizzes and foams, distributing colour into the water. The pigment of the colour is great, but the fact its yellow really isn’t. I just feel like it’s a bit like sitting in wee! 

Apart from that, it’s a lovely bath bomb and is great for cooler, darker nights. Have you tried Cinders? Let me know what you thought of it, and any other festive lush bath bombs that you love,

Blackberry Bath Bomb | Lush Reviews

Hey,

So recently I had my DofE bronze competition and I decided, as a treat, I would have a Lush bath bomb. I spent ages, like I always do, in the Lush shop trying to pick one but in the end I choose the Blackberry bath bomb.

This bath bomb was really great. It smelt fruity and sweet, but also had warm undertones. I choose the bath bomb because I thought it smelt amazing and I was excited for purple bath water! The Blackberry bath bomb did not let me down, as soon as I dropped the bomb in it began to foam pink and purple. Within seconds the bath water turned a deeper darker purple. I like having purple water compared to the other bath bombs I’ve tried- where the water has gone yellow or orange.

In the water the colour pigment stays and also the smell stays throughout the bath.

Another lovely thing about this product is the surprise at the end. When your bath bomb has completely dissolved, a message it left for you. This was so exciting because I didn’t expect it!

I would give this bath bomb 4/5 and would recommend it to people that like fruity sugary scents, or just love Lush! I hope you liked this review, please let me know your thoughts or other Lush recommendations. Have a lovely day,

REVIEW- Honey Bee, Lush Bath Ballistic

So this post is going to be a review of an item from lush. I’ve only ever tried one other item from Lush (see review: http://mydaisychaincloset.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/dragons-egg-lush-bath-bomb-review.html ), so I was excited to try a new ‘bath ballistic’.

I was shopping with a friend one day, and we decided to pop into the shop, taking time to smell each bath bomb. I liked a few but wasn’t 100% grasped by them, however when my nose smelt the sweet scent of the ‘Honey Bee’ ballistic, I knew it was the one for me.

It smelt so sweet and sugary, and the honey aroma was so tempting. I love the smell of honey, and I found it strong but not overpowering.

I kept the bath bomb for a special occasion, after a week long camp, and was so thrilled about using it. I ran a warm bubble bath and took the yellow sun from its wrapper. Taking one last deep smell of it, I placed the bath ballistic into the water. It fizzed up and down in the water, releasing a strong yellow colour. The smell was fragrant and the colour vivid. I thought a yellow bath might feel a little like I’d weed in the bath water, but the yellow was too intense and I enjoyed it.

I would definatly recommend the ‘Honey Bee Bath Ballistic’ for anyone who likes sweet scents and a simple but effective bath bomb. Great for those who like a mixture of scents, or as a gift- as it is not too overpowering and is likable. It one of the larger bath bombs that Lush makes, and is only £3.25, so great for treating yourself to a pamper session. Buy online? https://www.lush.co.uk/products/honey-bee

Hope you liked this short and sweet post, 

Dragon's Egg- Lush bath bomb review

Hey,

So this post is a review I am doing on one of the bath products from Lush (https://www.lush.co.uk/). I have never purchased anything from the shop before, but have heard positive reviews and recommendations. The shop sells a variety of products, that have a variety of prices as well, and the product I tested was a ‘Dragon’s Egg Bath bomb’. The product is available in store or here: https://www.lush.co.uk/products/dragons-egg. The bath bomb cost £3.25, which isn’t too expensive but for a product that only lasts for a single bath- it isn’t cheap.

I was happy with this product, as my first ever buy from the shop, and give it a 7/10 rating. I enjoyed the bath bomb but I did have mixed feelings.

When I first dropped the bath bomb into the water, it was quickly and foamed in the water, breaking apart and spreading a blue colour liquid. This colour intensifies and stays steady for a bit. This stayed the same for a period and then eventually it turned the water yellow.

As you can imagine, this isn’t exactly the colour you would desire in your bath, for obvious reasons, but it was bright and had a strong pigment. This yellow colour changed to orange and this was the end of the colour changes.

I had expected more colours, maybe pink or blue, like the spots on the bath bomb. I am unsure if this was just a fault in my product, or if all of the Lush ‘Dragon’s Egg’ bath bombs only give you this series of colours.

I was happy though, the colours were strong and did change the bath water, but I guess it’s your choice if you think 3 changes in colour is worth £3.25.

Please leave comments about your ideas and reviews of the ‘Dragon’s Egg’ bath bomb and any recommendations that you may have.

I hope you enjoyed this, below I leave a video of some footage I got of the bath bomb, sorry the lighting is bad. Thanks,
