Lush Review

Lush in Love

Over the past few months I have discovered the lushie inside of me. Why I hadn't discovered Lush when so many people had already fallen in love with their products is a mystery to me. Long story short I am now a self proclaimed lushie and I love it.

Originally founded in the UK with it's first store in Dorset, Lush products are all handmade using products sourced from all around the world. Supporting fair trade in countries like Ghana and fighting animal testing all the while producing some of the most innovative and high quality products, it's no wonder why it has a whole following of loyal Lushies.

Probably my favorite products at the moment are the Bubbleroon bath bars inspired by the famous French macarons. Macarons being one of my favourite little sweet treats (which I will attempt to make one day!), the Bubbleroons are the perfect little bath bars to play homage to the famous French meringue confectionaries.

 
Green Bubbleroon, Rose Jam Bubbleroon and Yuzu & Coco
 
Rose Jam Bubbleroon was inspired by the creators trips to Turkey. It was there that they discovered Rose jam made from fresh rose petals which they used to create the scent for this pink bubbleroon. It contains extra virgin coconut oil, Fair tradea shea butter acting as the "ganache", rose oil, lemon oil and the exclusive rose absolute only found in Lush products, Rose jam bubbleroon is the perfect accompaniment to a sensual bath that will leave your skin feeling amazingly soft.
 
 
Green Bubbleroon is a bubblebar with a combination of lime, juniperberry and bergamot oil. I don't normally gravitate to citrus flavours so I'm glad that this came out in the bubbleroon collection as it has such a fresh dewy smell, not your typical lemon or lime smells but a more refreshing smell more like grass or fresh blend of herbs. Definitely a bubble bath that you could treat yourself to on a Saturday morning to invigorate you for the day ahead.
 
 
This is one of my favourite Lush products. Yuzu & Coco was inspired by the Japanese tradition of putting Yuzu orange peels into their baths to ward away evil spirits and rid them of colds and illnesses. It has an amazingly warm tropical scent that hugs you along with a whole heap of shea butter that softens your skin to leave it feeling soft and hydrated. It contains coconut absolute and grapefruit oil which gives Yuzu & Coco that warm and naughty scent, I can't stop smelling it and it's guaranteed to take you to that tropical island with a pina colada in hand.
 
 
I will be doing many more reviews of Lush and other products so make sure you keep an eye out!
 
 
It's so important to treat yourself at least once a week whether it be a bubbleroon filled bubble bath or a quite night in with candles and a face mask and relaxing music, make sure to give yourself some TLC as it will help you be the best you for the next week ahead.
