Its the most wonderful time of the year...

Post-Summer blues are comforted by one fact. LUSH COSMETICS BRING OUT THEIR FESTIVE RANGE. The 9 month gap when I am deprived of the festive products is a dark place, but thankfully I have made it another year and it was worth the wait! Here are some of my favourite products..

Halloween....

                                                      

Northern Lights

This firework esque delight is called Northern Lights. Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang make this a floral and relaxing delight with all the fun of fireworks. The swirling colours and burst of glitter stars are enough to make any bath exciting. Its also exciting to see a bath bomb take a different shape! 

Lord of Misrule 

Lord of Misrule is the bath bomb for all wannabe young witches. Its spicy wine fragrance and swirling of surprise colours instantly turns any bath into a cauldron of spells. Not to    

                                                         mention the cheeky popping 

                                                         candy that fizzes. 

Sparkly Pumpkin

                                                                                                 
Sparkly Pumpkin does what it says on the tin. Its a bubble bar so needs crumbling under hot water to create bubbles. Its everything I love about October, its spicy pumpkin scent warms your soul, along with leaving your water a vibrant orange. The gold glitter will stick to your skin, so its perfect if you're going out this halloween and want to look glam! I used to think the biggest pumpkins were the best, now I know the best ones come in small (recycled) packages.

Christmas...

Snow Angel

The Melting Snowman 

I wanted to start with the Bath Melts as they are something I have only recently fallen in love with. These don't need crumbling, nor do they fizz, they simply melt in the hot water and release lots of gorgeous oils which leave the skin feeling ridiculously soft. Its the lazy girls method of moisturising your entire body whilst relaxing. 

Star Light, Star Bright

 The Melting Snowman was out last year and he is such a cutie. With almond oil and cocoa butter it's like bathing in a bath of buttery dessert, not to mention the chocolate eyes and buttons.

Star Light, Star Bright is THE most sparkly thing in lush. And thats a huge claim! Holding this thing leaves a film of silver on your fingers. It melts into bath and completely coats the water in shimmery glitter and lime oils to create insanely fresh and glamorous skin. I like to use this one before partying or on christmas eve so I sparkle all day afterwards.

Snow Angel is a gorgeous marriage between the two previously mentioned. It has all cocoa and almondy goodness of melting snowman with all the glitter of Star Light Star Bright except in a gorgeous gold edition.

 

Cinders

                                                         
Cinders is a classic, and although it comes out every year I still end up purchasing it. Its a little bath bomb that fizzes and crackles with popping candy, and leaves an aroma of cinnamon which I wish is the epitome of Christmas. Its definitely my go to winter warmer over the Christmas period, and at a smaller size, its a cheaper option too! Although in my case its just an excuse to buy multiple.

Golden Wonder

Golden Wonder, no not the crisps! This again is a bath bomb, that fizzes away in the midst of a rainbow of colours. It really does unwrap like a present. The first layer is gold glitter, because lush love their glitter! The rest I'll leave as a surprise ;)

Yog Nog Soap

                                                             Although I'm not a huge fan of soaps, (mainly because shower gel is so much easier to use) this had to be mentioned for its scent alone. This smells like Christmas spices, mixed with cream and custard and all things sweet and gorgeous. Its then dusted with cocoa powder. What more could a girl ask for? The consistency of the soap is also a creamy delight and melts in your hands. Go into the shop and smell this, it'll make your day.

Magic Wand 

 Magic Wand came out last year for the first time and it blew my mind. Its scented like candy and leaves your bath the most gorgeous vibrant pink. And what more could I ask for than a pink, candy smelling bath? The stick takes away the effort of crumbling the bar, all you have to do is swirl this in the bath. You also won't need to use the whole thing in one bath, so you'll get a few uses. In my book, thats a bargain ;)

Drummers drumming is much like the magic wand, with an additional yellow side. Its so cute as it actually resembles an old school toy, and yes I did try and make a noise with it, and yes it does work!!

Drummers Drumming

Finally, I cannot do a Lush Christmas blog post without the mention of Snow Fairy. If you know me, you'll know my three favourite things are pink, glitter and candy. And this shower gel has all three of those things. Its perfect, and thats the reason it sells out immediately each year. Grab a bottle now, before its too late. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
