Lush Christmas 2010

8 October 2010


Obviously, since it's October it's nearly Christmas?!  I saw Lush had their Christmas range out in store yesterday so I popped in to bridge the gap whilst waiting for my train.
I do find it a bit sad that there were no nice Halloween items.  It would be the perfect time for some themed products but instead there are just a few shower gellies, a bath bomb and 1 soap (and not even the pumpkin one that I want to try). 

 
Gingerbread House Bubble Bar -
I bought this as a pressie for Matt as I don't 'do' baths due to my allergies. This smells divine and the ginger is mixed with blackcurrant and citrus so it is spicy and warming without being overly sweet.  It's shaped like a little gingerbread house.  Matt's verdict was that you seriously only need half this bar per bath, otherwise it's like being in Professor Burp's Bubble Works at Alton Towers.


Mandarin's Tea Party Soap -  This soap is amazing!  A mixture of citrus, mandarin and crystallised ginger and also has dried oranges throughout the soap.  This has a very strong sweetly citrus scent and my handbag still emits wafts of mandarin so the scent definitely lingers.  I will definitely stock up on this one as it is perfect for Summer or Winter and would make a lovely alternative to an actual Mandarin or Satsuma in a Christmas stocking!  

Snow Globe Soap - The citrus scents in this soap are very sharp and even though its sweet its also very refreshing and perfect for a morning or after gym shower. The scent will linger as it is quite strong and the good thing about citrus oils are that they combat the scent of perspiration, so this is the perfect soap for a man who does a lot of work outside or someone who does a lot of exercise.  This contains Lemon Myrtle, grapefruit oil, rapeseed oil and coconut oil so it is still very moisturising.

Snowcake Soap - This is the same scent as the smitten hand cream and exactly like marzipan.  I think this has to be my favourite as it is just so sweet and comforting and girly. The blend of rose, cassie and benzoin along with coconut oil mean this is perfect for dry skin and you can feel from the texture it is softer and going to be more moisturising.  I will definitely be getting a few slices of this for people as Christmas presents as I think it is an absolute must have.

What is your favourite Lush soap?

Do you like Christmas ranges?

Hi Sarah ;)

I agree with you, is very sad that the attention is more focus on Christmas than what we are having right "now" that is Autumm... i guess because is more commercial and more gifts and all that stuff... :(
Miss a lot Lush! unfortunately here in Mexicoland we don´t have it... but definitely i love some products from them even if my boy doesn´t likes, he says "is too smelly"
My favourite lush soap at the moment is Trichomania or something like that, has coconut in it, is for my hair but has done miracles with it.
Hope you are having a great weekend gorgeous ;)
