Brighten Your Bath with Lush Party Popper!

I didn't want to use this pretty pink and blue bath bomb, as it was far too pretty and smelled amazing... Last night, I finally bit the bullet and threw it in the bath! bergamot, tangerine, rose This bath bomb colors the bath a deeper shade of pink, and smells SO good. Bergamot, tangerine, and rose, make this a really nice citrus floral. I seriously love it. To me, it also sort of smells like Pez candy, but a million times better! HAHA!

As the bath fizzes, honeydew scented paper soap flakes emerge - I forgot this was going to happen at first, so I was pretty excited when it happened. You can grab the soap flakes and use them, but I just let them float around in the water until they dissolved.

I seriously love this scent, and it nicely (and lightly!) scented me and the bathroom. It was a great, relaxing bath that I didn't want to drain! Also, this scent is more delicate than some of their others, and in my top 3 Lush scents along with Calacas/Fun and the Enchanter bath bomb! :)

In case you're curious, here are the ingredients. :) I love this, and I NEED to pick up another one before the holiday collection disappears from stores! What do you think about this bath bomb? Will you be grabbing this or something else from the Lush holiday collection? :)

Dust Yourself with Lush Silky Underwear & Lustre Body Powder

For the last few months, every time my boyfriend and I went into a Lush store, we would stare at the body powders. He was always very interested in Silky Underwear, and wondered if it could make clothing feel more comfortable against the skin. We were never sure, and always wanted to buy a multitude of other things, so this was always lower on the list of things to try! So when we were offered samples to test, we were both SO excited at the chance. If we didn't oversleep so often, we would definitely be using these as we get dressed everyday! Alas, we are sleepyheads, and oversleep daily, but that's a whole different story! :)

Lustre is a light gold powder with very fine shimmer. It is perfect to highlight your legs for a night out, and has a great jasmine scent that is, in my opinion, similar to Lush's Lovely Jubblies Cream. The bottle does list this as having the Lust fragrance in it, but I'm not familiar enough with the fragrance offerings to speak to that.

I wish I had more opportunity to wear Lustre, as it does impart a nice shimmer. Unfortunately, my legs are in a terrible state of dehydration and ugliness at the moment, so this does not help my moisture levels in this cold winter-like weather. (But then again, right now very few things do!) I've also been successful using this with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush, so that may be an application technique to try if you're having trouble using Lush Lustre. I would also like to try mixing it in with a body lotion or even face primer to see if the effect is different! Silky Underwear, on the other hand, is definitely guy friendly. My boyfriend enjoys the light, non-intrusive scent, and he does find it to be smoothing. I know he wants to try it while running, but he hasn't had the opportunity to yet. I will definitely update when he does! I find the scent to be almost like cocoa butter, but it is quite light and goes away quickly for those with sensitive noses. I do feel like my clothes go on easier, and my legs are slightly less dehydrated and ugly, but I'm not sure if that is just me. However, the tight jeans definitely don't feel as bothersome on my skin when I wear this!

I also tried to come up with other ways of wearing this, but have not tried mixing it into a more liquidy lotion or moisturizer. I did try applying this after using First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, but the cream's unique whipped texture doesn't seem to mix well with this powder. I managed to get a bit crumbly on part of one leg! Eek! Oh well, there's plenty of other lotions to try this with! :)

I am definitely excited to try more unique ways of using Lustre and Silky Underwear. If you've tried any of these and have a unique way of applying these, I'd love to know! What do you think about these powders? Will you be picking one up? :)

Playtime with Lush FUN!

I love Lush products, and I always love beauty that is intended to support a great cause, so when I heard about Lush FUN, I was SO excited to try it and tell you all about it. These yummy scented 4-in-1 bath products arrived in nicely rolled packages that looked like candy, so that was fun in itself! (I was also happy to discover that the plastic used is also compostable - how cool!)

I love that 2.5% of sales of FUN worldwide will go towards children's recreation around the world. The FunD is currently supporting children impacted by last year's disasters in Japan. How great is that? :)

FUN is 100% vegan and comes in a variety of colors - yellow, green, blue, red, and pink! I received green and pink, and I am happy to report that the green smells just like the Calacas Shower Jelly from the Halloween collection! It is just a great lime citrus scent that really perks up a morning shower. (If you missed my previous post of the shower jelly, my boyfriend and I described it as a Sprite gummy bear, LOL!) The pink shade is described as an ice cream scented tonka, and while I am terrible at describing scents, I do like the depth it has. A little sweet, a bit floral. Fun for me!

The texture of FUN reminds me of Play Doh, except a bit more crumbly. It is super easy to break off a chunk for the shower! Here's another look, so you can see how it breaks off. (P.S. If you have this, how are you storing this??)While I've been playing with Lush FUN, I've discovered that I really am not an artist. I attempted to sculpt cute things, and even my boyfriend was ambitious in wanting to sculpt a dinosaur or a frog... Yes I suppose I could have gotten tools, but I didn't want to waste even a crumb!

Look! He's so cute! What do you think he is? I sure don't know!

Anyways, please visit Jessica (Getting Cheeky) and Dovey (Cute & Mundane) for their wonderful sculptures and tips! Mine can not even compare! Even Jessica's toddler tester is far more talented than I! :)

I've only been using it as soap so far, and it is quite amusing (FUN!) to cover ourselves in pink or green suds. It lathers well, and feels clean. YAY! I also made a bunch of little pink hearts that I want to throw in a bath, but I just haven't had time for more than a 10 minute bath lately. So sad! I also want to try it in my hair, but I am so close to finishing a shampoo! When I do try it more in the bath and on my hair, I will definitely let you know! :)

Lush FUN was available in stores starting last Thursday, November 1st. What do you think of FUN? Will you pick it up for the holidays?

Review: Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly

lush sweetie pie shower jelly

I'm having a bit of a Lush weekend over here. :) I love the shower jelly concept, and I always wanted to try out this one. I hadn't realized that it has sparkles in it, and that made me smile too! :) This shower jelly has a unique scent. I find it to be a dark, sweet, almost floral scent - a dark cherry scent, I suppose. For some reason, I want to think that it also smells like grape, but I think that is the color plus the fruity scent that makes my brain want to think that! But look at that pretty, sparkly purple color! It definitely brightens up a morning shower. :)

Like the other shower jellies, it does take a bit of adjustment to get used to using this one. We first tried Whoosh Shower Jelly a while back, and thought it was a bit hard to use. It was sad because we kept dropping bits of it on the shower floor. Since it took us longer to use in comparison to regular shower gel, we never really used shower jellies when we were in a rush, and with our tendency to snooze, we were always rushing!

In any event, now we've finally got it down: grab a chunk, squish it into a loofah while creating lather, and there you go!  With this new discovery, we are loving how easy it now is to use Lush Shower Jellies! Shower jellies also make me feel just as clean as regular body washes do, and I was also happy that the scent didn't stay on my skin, because sometimes I prefer it that way!

Here's a better look at the ingredients, if you need them. Have you tried this or any other Lush Shower Jellies? :)
