It's a Lush Christmas. Pt 1.

Only 11 weeks until Christmas!

 

OK you got me, I love Christmas. It's one of my favourite times of year. I'm such an autumn/ winter person i love the crisp, bright coldness. The hot drinks, the snugly jumpers and the shorter days. 

♥Bliss♥

I think the atmosphere is amazing and in Southampton there is a Christmas market where you can get good food, beer and lots of mulled wine. Last year I only worked a few hours in the enter of town so this year I'm going to soak it all in.

Lush is one of my favourite companies and each year they bring out beautiful products that are just full of the Christmas spirit. This year they were launched on 3rd October and I went and saw all the amazing things.

So, lets make a start..

The first products I snapped were Gold fun and the Snowman kit, the gold fun has the same beautiful fragrance as the classic Honey I washed the kids soap, so really creamy and sweet smelling but the great twist is that its vegan! It doesn't actually have any honey in it unlike its soapy partner. This is a 4 in 1 product, bath bubbles, soap, shower gel and a play dough. Great for entertaining in the bath whilst leaving your skin super soft and smooth.

The Snowman kit is really cool, something completely new. It's the Fun product but with three colours, white black and orange so you can make your own bath time snowman! It has a refreshing uplifting scent that people will recognise as the carrot fragrance from Easter. Cue frozen- 'do you wanna build a snowmaaaan?'...

 Star light star bright the first star I see tonight..

A beautiful glittery bath melt, this melt has an uplifting and warming fragrance with lots of lime and ginger. I recommend putting this in a hot bath and watching as it melts into a glittering blue bath that looks like a winters sky. This would be an amazing bath to have before a Christmas party or maybe a cheeky boxing day bath if you've had a little but too much bucks fizz the night before.

 Cinders is one of the Lushes best sellers, it has a sweet cinnamon scent with lots of popping candy in to remind you of a warmin this bath crakling fire. when youre relaxing in this bath you can almost imagine being cosyed up in front of a fire watching chritmas film. basically eveything you expect froma chritmas bath bomb.

Father Christmas is also back but this time he has a nostalgic candy fluff fragrance. sweet and powdery. Not as bubblegummy as snow fairy.

 The melting snowman is back! This time with a new (or should I say retro?) smell. This creamy bath melt has the Hot toddy fragrance that Lush used to have. In fact hot toddy was a Cosmetics to Go fragrance, so not only does this predate lush as we know it but this proves that it is a timeless scent. 

On the left of the picture is he very lovely Snow angel. Another melt that releases a lovely gold glow. This melt has the snow cake fragrance to give you a ridiculously softening bath. It creates a snow like blanket of foam. The benzoin and cocoa butter in this will really lock in the moisture to your skin.

Oh hello there, Christmas soaps, this year there are some really doozies. lets start with a classic.

Snow cake- a soap almost as old as the tale of Christmas itself. A snowy white soft soap with a gold luster top. This smells of marzipan and gives such a thick satisfying lather that it can be used at the sink or in the shower. 

Next up some new arrivals. 

Anyone who's a fan of the comforter or sweetie pie shower jelly will love the reindeer rock soap. A beautiful berry soap with lingon berry infusion, an anti-oxididant, it will help protct you skin from the changing weather.

Now for my absolute favorite soap of this Christmas

Yognog.

Oh my good gracious Lush what have you blessed us with. An amazing creamy soap tat smells like Starbucks eggnog latte with lashings of cinnamon. Fudgy and edible. Amazing in the shower, bath or by the sink. this will make you feel so festive you'll want to break out the tinsel and fairy lights.
