<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was almost seven years ago that I made the choice to dedicate my time and energy into creating the most definitive Lush blog that I possibly could. Little did I know just how much money and time would be needed to fulfil this dream, and create something that has grown and flourished as much as it has over the years. However, little did I also not realise how much the whole experience would mould, change and nurture me as a person as well.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Over the last seven years, I have spent numerous hours budgeting in my many hauls; weeks squatting in bath tubs just to get the best lighting; months spent editing and responding to the pictures that I post on Instagram; and years writing the most comprehensive reviews I could possibly manage. The feedback I have received from the Lush community, and indeed from within the company as well, have left me incredulous thinking about how much of an impact my words have impacted some of your lives as well. And I feel completely blessed that I have found a home within one of the best online communities in the world. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This blog is my baby. And I am so incredibly proud of what I have managed to create; what this blog has allowed me to experience; and how these words have transcended into the real world, where I have met some of the most wonderful and inspiring people on the entire planet: many of whom I now consider to be some of my greatest friends.</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However, change is inevitable and I have reached a stage in my life where I want to explore far more of this world, and in doing so dig far deeper into my own consciousness. This means that I need to let go of the things that are no longer serving me and begin to walk a new, exciting path, and see what life has to offer me when I do. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For this reason, I will be stepping away from updating this blog completely and will no longer be reviewing Lush products on this platform. This blog will remain out there to hopefully inspire and inform new, wide-eyed Lush fans who are looking for a solid reference point to start from, as well as serve as a memory of my time over the last seven years.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I cannot thank you - the reader - enough for all of your support; your guidance; and your accolade over the years. It's been an absolute pleasure to be considered one of the key voices within the Lush community, and I am forever grateful for having the platform to learn and grow into that role, whilst having a strong sense of support from the community underneath.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hope that many of you will continue to follow my new adventures on both my Instagram and Youtube platforms. In doing so, I do hope that I can ignite the adventure within you; inspire you to work towards your goals; and incite an excitement in you that will ultimately help you to make your dreams come true. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love you all.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And thank you.</span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As part of my healing journey, I have been working very closely with the different fragrances and spices that I consume both internally and externally. With practice, I have been able to both soothe my moods at times, and completely ground myself, simply through the use of a particular essential oil, or a certain spice that I have incorporated into a recipe. It's amazing how simply being aware of what you consume can ultimately support or trigger your emotional and mental health.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZvbxAARoMqwtH7JpyYzItZqzUmOtCPZtmstq4bMjJRID9Zz_vTo3NJN6xL6Y0THm704AmrA7KD8hcv-I6G7wI3l9iMk1ZvKBe4eCNphTcY17wfsWT_xtZUpwGLBh7hHXXk05d6MIMMbk/s1600/IMG_3571.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1173" data-original-width="1206" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZvbxAARoMqwtH7JpyYzItZqzUmOtCPZtmstq4bMjJRID9Zz_vTo3NJN6xL6Y0THm704AmrA7KD8hcv-I6G7wI3l9iMk1ZvKBe4eCNphTcY17wfsWT_xtZUpwGLBh7hHXXk05d6MIMMbk/s320/IMG_3571.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I first read the ingredients list of <i>Rudolph Nose Shower Bomb</i>, I was rather excited about how grounding and soothing the brand new seasonal product sounded on paper. Cedarwood and Ho Wood are two essential oils that I have been using to calm my mind during meditation, and they also both work as an aide to sleep, if you have a busy mind that needs settling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Upon first sniff, I found that the fragrance of this limited edition happens to be fairly subtle overall, and would definitely get lost if you were trying to gage with the scent in a Lush store. My nose was able to recognise the woodiness of the two ingredients, but also the slightly resinous smokiness of the ho wood oil as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Aside from the aforementioned components, <i>Rudolph Nose</i> also features lemon oil in the ingredients list. I happen to think that this is the key component here, because while the overall aroma has more of a sweet and delicately fruity note, the lemon works at elevating the other fragrances within the shower bomb and offers a fragrance that lasts for a long time on the skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Despite its subtleness, I was able to smell the three ingredients for a good couple of hours after I had towelled myself down, and I can only imagine how much good that did at keeping me feeling calm and grounded throughout the day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSrfVyJRnEeJ5WZ6fKKvDh-KycudGpjAdDJzpODdYhvIzLF3VDRvXsXWpcZpwP3dvb1U6_XYYJNCcyWM3YynXZMhkYlNY-uFAQSs-F4LEu4ABzGs1uTP8huKJx5sKi86tlUNrFhBBdRR8/s1600/IMG_3572.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1166" data-original-width="1167" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSrfVyJRnEeJ5WZ6fKKvDh-KycudGpjAdDJzpODdYhvIzLF3VDRvXsXWpcZpwP3dvb1U6_XYYJNCcyWM3YynXZMhkYlNY-uFAQSs-F4LEu4ABzGs1uTP8huKJx5sKi86tlUNrFhBBdRR8/s320/IMG_3572.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having said that, I do think that that this shower bomb would have been more impressive if the fragrance had been stronger in the shower. While the aroma left a lasting impression on my skin afterwards, the smell of the product when it was being used was far less interesting, especially when I was expecting much more of a wholesome scent when the shower bomb hit the hot water.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On the positive side, the shower bomb is super generous when it comes to how easy it is the lather up. In fact, I would highly suggest that you quarter the product beforehand, as you'll end up using far more than you need to if you use this in one go. Unlike some of Lush's other shower bombs, I found that <i>Rudolph Nose</i> didn't react so much to the water, and foam up like I was assuming would happen. Instead, what did come from the shower bomb was a thick, red 'gunk' that was easy to lather across the skin and did produce a little foam, much like a shower gel would offer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After rinsing away the product, I was impressed to find that my skin felt really smooth and soft, especially around my feet and legs. However, I also noticed that in places there was a slight hint of pink where I think the product may have stained my skin a little. Although it wasn't noticeable enough for anyone to make a comment, it was definitely something that I became wary of when I chose to use the product again the next day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Having said that, the smell did linger afterwards; my skin was left feeling clean and smooth; and using it before heading to bed no doubt played a part in helping me to unwind a little.</span><br />
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While not a favourite of mine, I did enjoy using <i>Rudolph Nose Shower Bomb</i> and only hope that nobody else experiences the slight tinting that the seasonal product put me though: '<i>Jennifer the red-bodied human' </i>doesn't quite have the same ring to it as the original Christmas song.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I've mentioned in previous deodorant reviews, it is very rare that I have anything bad to say about Lush. Unfortunately, when I do, it's normally to do with one of their less than effective deodorants that often seem to elevate and encourage the very problems they claim to eradicate. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>The Guv'ner</i> is the second to last deodorant from Lush that I have left to review, and as previous experience goes, this product already starts off on uneven standing. Described by the company as a '<i>hardworking, absorbent deodorant powder that means business', </i>I was expecting something a little more effective than their previous offerings.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is one of Lush's powdered products and comes in an 80g bottle, which may make it sound rather expensive when priced at £6.25. However, you only need to use a minuscule amount each time, meaning this bottle would probably last you a good six or more months. I was using it twice a day, for almost a month, and the powder barely moved a centimetre away from the top of the bottle. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The powder is made up of a combination of different ingredients, each bringing their unique scents and properties to the mix. This list includes charcoal, sodium bicarbonate, lavender powder and calamine powder to name just a few. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">

Firstly, there's charcoal powder, which absorbs moisturise and eradicates smells; the lycopodium powder helps to keep the deodorant gentle on your skin, also acting as a cooling element, alongside the patchouli, to keep you</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> feeling fresh; the sage and patchouli are there for their wonderful aroma and also for their antiseptic and astringent qualities. These latter ingredients have been proven to shrink pores, aiding towards the ultimate goal of decreased sweating!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Much like </span><a href="http://allthingslushuk.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/review-greeench-deodorant-powder.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The Greeench Powdered Deodorant</a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">, applying the deodorant proved a little difficult. I tend to pour a little on the tips of my fingers and then rub it immediately under my armpits. However, despite my best efforts, I always end up spilling excess powder on my clothes or floor, so it's a little fiddly to say the least. Furthermore, it left a dark powdery layer on my armpits, which although didn't transfer onto my clothes, did leave me feeling rather conscious; it wouldn't be a product I'd be able to wear with short sleeves.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Unlike a lot of synthetic deodorants available in shops, this one is far more natural, meaning it doesn't block off the sweat glands. Although this is definitely a positive attribute, I was also aware that <i>The Guv' ner</i> wouldn't protect me for as long as other anti-perspirants might have done. This fact became all the more apparent when I found myself sweating profusely at work one day and became paranoid that the sweat would permeate my top and show through. However, the deodorant does act as a great repellent of smells, and despite amassing a fair bit of sweat, I couldn't detect any bad smells coming from my body.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>The Guv'ner </i>is probably one of the better smelling deodorants, a subtle blend of vetivert, patchouli, sage and lavender. It is this latter ingredient that comes through the most here, although it's a gentle scent so won't overpower any body lotion or perfume that you wish to apply.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, it's far from being a terrible product; I just don't think it's suited to me. As I said in a previous review, I know I look for Lush for solutions in all of my cosmetic needs, but as of yet, they have yet to convince me that I should move away from my regular bottle of Nivea.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When the Lush Oxford Street store first opened some five years ago, the company brought out so many new dusting powders: one of which was called <i>Get Closer.</i> While not strictly advertised as a deodorant, most of Lush's dusting powders are versatile enough that they can be used in this way, and this is perhaps the reason why this solid rendition appeared at the Showcase event last year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I will say about this solid deodorant is that it does a good job at replicating the scent of the original dusting powder, which features neroli oil, jasmine absolute and lemon oil. Alongside an extra dosage of jojoba oil, this naked block of deodorant is very close in scent to the wonderful </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Happy Happy Joy Joy Hair Conditioner and Frozen Bath Bomb, albeit slightly lighter and not as floral-dominated. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Instead, imagine <i>HHJJ</i> with a heap of calamine and kaolin powders thrown on top, and you may begin to understand what this exclusive smells like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">On the skin, you can definitely detect the neroli - a light and slightly bitter citrusy aroma that intertwines with the lemon oil and intensifies the fruity element. To compliment this, the jasmine adds its own soulful floral aroma that gives the deodorant a slight sweetness, making it delectable and utterly refreshing on the senses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeixNZzMz7VSBY36a0lSMgRR9niKmw0dPU9yJYI8MrELKnzBp2OFAod7yh5-JoeDRsBF0o4KHFch5UlpIt9rAIeOW86ADqZu5cR2MqxRZ1haoEk4QDAwRfepjrZVe4hfvjr8IAXWPJ1rw/s1600/IMG_3753.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="936" data-original-width="977" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeixNZzMz7VSBY36a0lSMgRR9niKmw0dPU9yJYI8MrELKnzBp2OFAod7yh5-JoeDRsBF0o4KHFch5UlpIt9rAIeOW86ADqZu5cR2MqxRZ1haoEk4QDAwRfepjrZVe4hfvjr8IAXWPJ1rw/s320/IMG_3753.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Alongside these elements, <i>Get Closer</i> then offers a strong herbal note of calamine, coupled with a dry and slightly earthy note of the kaolin, which I happen to think is perhaps a little more prominent in this format: more so than it is in the dusting powder. Either way, the smell you get is definitely not as clinical as many of Lush's other deodorants but there is still something very clean-smelling about this fragrance that I think works well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At risk of repeating myself, I was initially worried about the strength of this solid deodorant, as I imagined it would just crumble when I applied even the slightest amount of pressure: it is definitely not as resilient as the likes of <i>Aromaco Solid Deodorant </i>by any means. However, it is fairly straight forward to use and the product comes away really easily on the skin, so you don't need to apply much in the way of pressure at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What was great about this deodorant was the fact that it was far easier to apply as a block as opposed to bottled powder. Trying to apply a powder without spilling it all over the place is a rather tricky task. However, when it came to <i>The Get Closer Solid Deodorant</i>, I found that simply massaging it gently under my armpits was enough to get what I wanted out of the product. While my armpit was left slightly dusty afterwards, it certainly didn't cause me any problems and I certainly didn't develop any stains on my clothes from it being this way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Like most of Lush's dusting powders and deodorants, this one has a great level of absorbency - thanks to the inclusion of the kaolin - so any sweat that develops on your skin across the day will be absorbed fairly quickly and your armpits will be left fairly dry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I have stated in other reviews, this deodorant is not an antiperspirant, so it will not prevent you from sweating at all. Instead, it just helps to absorb the sweat so it doesn't have time to go stale and develop an odour, and if you sweat quite profusely at times, reduce the amount of 'damp' that remains on your skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After using it for near on a month, I found that <i>Get Closer</i> definitely worked at eradicating smells that may have accumulated throughout the day, and it was very easy to reapply the product whenever I felt like I needed to. In a typical day, I felt I needed to reapply about 5-6 times, although this may just have been my desire to be super clean: you may be able to reduce this number by half and preserve the life of the deodorant for longer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However, what I should point out is that this solid deodorant wasn't very effective both before and after the gym. As I work out most days, I really noticed that I would start to smell my sweat a little more prominently if I used this deodorant over my usual Nivea variation. As I have found with some of Lush's deodorants, this solid product is not as effective when you're someone who sweats a great deal or when used during a time when you're perspiring a lot because of physical activity. In these moments, I had to reply on my regular shop-bought variation to see me through my workouts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ultimately, this solid deodorant is actually quite effective at what is does and offers a rather lovely floral aroma to boot. I honestly think that I just need to continue using this for a few more months and I should hopefully notice even more changes in the way that my body responds to this. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While a bit of an odd reference, there has always been a bit of playful banter surrounding socks between myself and my sister. After watching Shoot 'Em Up years ago, and seeing Clive Owen use a warm sock in replacement of a woolly hat for a tiny baby, I have always thought of socks as being rather cute, despite their obvious lack of character. When I discovered that this Christmas Bath Melt was actually going to be a 'thing', I couldn't help but find comfort in the thought of sharing my bath with a tiny rendition of an item of clothing.</span><br />

While not something that is going to blow you away with its outer design, this little beauty is the perfect s(t)ocking filler, with it's buttery goodness offering a delectable treat that'll benefit your skin without extending your waist line.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With a wonderful combination of orange and cinnamon leaf oil, this beautiful little product happens to share its scent with the <i>Cinders</i> range, which in my mind is the perfect winter smell for frozen bodies. The warming, fruity note of orange offers a perfect balance of sweetness and citrusy goodness, whilst the cinnamon wraps its spicy arms around this and thickens the aroma like a comforting mug of chai tea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is something rather delicate about the scent of this, so although it pertains the same smell as the <i>Fireball Bath Bomb</i>, there is definitely something more wholesome and creamy about the overall fragrance. The fact that <i>Warm Sock</i> has an abundance of cocoa and shea butter, not to mention a gentle nutty shout out with its inclusion of almond oil as well, means that the scent of this is richer and far more decadent than the aforementioned bath bomb. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhncv2kWF4zA7RRddnWrLpII-DcHOBQdsgHMNbvcERwo3xLUx4X24LA2w4OvJEASAQn7_41NxPoGpDGon8SaBajn2sL7Qy-BCMjoxqJ8K56xixVyTJftLatIymzvpZl71jA8-frLhcNO3Y/s1600/IMG_3744.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="1210" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhncv2kWF4zA7RRddnWrLpII-DcHOBQdsgHMNbvcERwo3xLUx4X24LA2w4OvJEASAQn7_41NxPoGpDGon8SaBajn2sL7Qy-BCMjoxqJ8K56xixVyTJftLatIymzvpZl71jA8-frLhcNO3Y/s320/IMG_3744.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This delicacy does mean that the smell of the bath oil isn't as prominent as the bath bomb offers in the water, but then the purpose of this limited edition is different, so you wouldn't exactly assume that it would work in the same way. In fact, I chose to use both the bath bomb and the bath oil together, and found that they both complimented each other, and offered something different at the same time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the tub, <i>Warm Sock</i> doesn't take very long to start dissolving into the water. In fact, it was only a matter of seconds before I began to notice a thin film of shimmery oils floating above the melt, and slowly dispersing themselves across the surface of the water. Within 5-10 minutes of placing the bath oil into the water, I found that it had become the size of a raisin, which I then squished between my fingers before indulging in a nice long soak.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I will say is that by itself, this bath oil will not give you a colourful display to indulge in; neither will it offer you a fragrance strong enough to engulf your entire bathroom. However, the inclusion of the lustre does create a beautiful, pulsating shimmer underneath the surface of the water, which when combined with a colourful bath bomb or bubble bar, looks truly beautiful in the tub.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">By itself, the shimmer is still very wonderful to look at, so don't feel that you need to combine it with anything to get a lovely experience. Furthermore, you can definitely smell the warming notes of orange and cinnamon in the tub, although they do tend to get thwarted by the scents of other products you use at the same time. </span><br />

I was also pleased to discover that the lustre didn't decorate my skin or the tub after the water had rinsed away. Having said that, I didn't notice much in the way of a fragrance on my skin afterwards, but then it's rare that a bath oil can leave that much of an impression when it's rather small to begin with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, this wonderful little bath oil is like a creamy, buttery truffle for the skin, and will definitely appeal to those who appreciate cute little cosmetics. Having said that, I do feel that the price tag is slightly over what I would be willing to pay for such an experience. Perhaps a Cinders-scented massage bar would be a better option for those who wish to experience nourished skin whilst also enjoying the wonderful fragrance on offer. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">During the colder months of the year, I often find myself gravitating towards the bright, vibrant-coloured bath products, which help to stimulate my psychological understanding that certain colours represent heat and warmth more than others do. To choose a bath bomb that produces a tub full of blue water would probably be one of the last on my list, even if the scent is uplifting and wholesome. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yet that's exactly what I did when I decided to use the limited edition <i>Penguin Bomb Bomb</i> for the first time earlier this week. While not exactly what I'd call a complete novelty, this seasonal special does come as two separate bath bombs, so the proviso is that you need to be willing to spend almost £10 on the pair of them if you wish to indulge in them separately, or indeed as one. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgccSG8D9kbTMKHXZrpR7mqWMbiF-ojp02_wc9K7qnDu5Mrdc_hRgHDWo3ggVUi1vsyKTSrm1Wk0SxSmv2X5lRg0w-hOUP7VnHthFlXN_txEMHwyCSkjziPZOfTsIEvwB8sa1nBx7rS8-8/s1600/IMG_3532.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1216" data-original-width="1242" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgccSG8D9kbTMKHXZrpR7mqWMbiF-ojp02_wc9K7qnDu5Mrdc_hRgHDWo3ggVUi1vsyKTSrm1Wk0SxSmv2X5lRg0w-hOUP7VnHthFlXN_txEMHwyCSkjziPZOfTsIEvwB8sa1nBx7rS8-8/s320/IMG_3532.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I have already said in my reviews of the bomb bombs from last year, I can completely understand the consumer demand for products such as this. There is probably a big market for these bath bombs for those looking for a unique (and sometimes adorable) stocking filler. However, it also happens to be quite an investment for someone who doesn't necessarily know whether or not they're really going to enjoy the scent or the experience, that these bath bombs have to offer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When it comes to <i>Penguin</i>, this little chap offers up a rather subtle smell of orange, and little else. While I would describe the scent as being slightly fruity, delicately powdery, and gently sweet, there is nothing particularly special or outstanding about the fragrance on offer here. This really is a bath bomb for somebody more interested in the 'cuteness' of the penguin, or the vividity of the blue that it creates in the tub. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you're looking for a bath bomb that is going to offer you a strong scent, I would perhaps avoid this one - as the smell disperses pretty quickly, and I wasn't really able to detect much of this bomb bomb when I was in the tub.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Although I used both halves in my bath, I don't think it would necessarily make much of a difference if you only used one of the bombs at a time. In fact, I found that one half of this bomb bomb actually sunk while it was dissolving, and one half floated. This meant that I didn't really get much more of an exciting show from using both pieces at once.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As to be expected, as soon as <i>Penguin</i> hit the water, the bath bombs began to fizz and dissolve immediately - sending out waves of rich, blue colour that painted the water very quickly. Alongside this, little puddles of both white and yellow colour were also formed on the surface, although these dissolved very quickly and didn't leave much of a lasting impression overall. In addition, the abundance of popping candy featured within the bath bomb meant that a loud, crackling orchestra created a wonderful soundtrack to enjoy for a good many minutes whilst the bath bomb was dissolving and beyond that point as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTwJBq7LwxdWDhEK8IORuNtYglD86iITWX7lbGnzrLPfYDT-ThxPmfDmuLwd4OwUkJleM-HW5zKYXFEQDbvEp72N-8_7Sduw0rDIZwgHrbIQHEf5Kr54-VSX78BTX4kpyh1yKY74nW_y0/s1600/IMG_3533.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1213" data-original-width="1242" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTwJBq7LwxdWDhEK8IORuNtYglD86iITWX7lbGnzrLPfYDT-ThxPmfDmuLwd4OwUkJleM-HW5zKYXFEQDbvEp72N-8_7Sduw0rDIZwgHrbIQHEf5Kr54-VSX78BTX4kpyh1yKY74nW_y0/s320/IMG_3533.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I will say is that the deep shade of blue that this bomb bomb leaves your water is truly stunning. And it is this quality that I believe gives <i>Penguin Bomb Bomb</i> a relevant place within this year's Christmas range. However, the scent of this seasonal special is very average, and it certainly doesn't last a long time past adding these bath bombs to the water. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, I did find that my skin felt really clean and smooth after exiting the tub, and I didn't need to moisturise heavily afterwards either. However, I wouldn't say that this bath bomb was as nourishing as some of Lush's other bath bombs can be, and I don't feel as if it did anything extra special to improve the condition of my skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you're looking for a fragrance that will last in the tub, on your skin and beyond, <i>Penguin Bomb Bomb</i> is probably not the bath bomb you'll be wanting to invest in this year. However, if you want to bathe in one of the most beautiful shades of blue, or you just find the bath bomb cute and are not overly worried about the lack of scent, this is one you may wish to try before the year is out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sometimes it's nice to shake things up at bit and be faced with a product that doesn't follow any trend, and certainly doesn't sit right with you during the initial few uses. <i>Silver Bells Shower Jelly </i>definitely set me back quite a bit when I first caught a sniff of the brand new seasonal offering, and I cannot say I have quite mastered whether or not I really like it just yet.</span></span><br />

Given the very nature of its design, it does come in a little smaller than the usual 100g shower jellies, and there is something slightly more delicate about this one that I haven't found with the normal jellies.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I found with <i>Silver Bells</i> is that the base part does tend to 'shred' a little during usage, so you may find that little bits of the jelly fall off during your shower. However, there isn't enough loss to worry about this factor too much, and I would suggest just being a little more gentle with the shower jelly will heed much better results.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On the positive side, this shower jelly is incredibly easy to lather up, and I was most impressed with the amount of fragrant foam that I was able to get from minimal massaging between my palms. When rubbing this across the skin, the shower jelly works magic at cleaning your body and leaving a lasting scent on your skin. In fact, this is perhaps one of the most effective jellies that I have used in a while.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Scent-wise, <i>Silver Bells</i> is definitely an acquired taste. Containing olibanum, lime and orange oils, you might assume that this shower jelly would offer a bright, fruity aroma - like many of the other Christmas goodies available from this year's range. However, the fragrance of this one is supposed to replicate the aroma of the <i>Inhale Perfume Oil</i>, which is an aroma that many might find difficult to adjust to.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To my nose, the smell that greets me from the pot is a fresh, crisp smell, that like for many other people, reminds me of a snowy winter morning out in the forest. The olibanum brings about an almost woody but slightly resinous note, whilst the lime and orange offer a very dry and slightly green-like citrusy note alongside this. I would go ahead and say that there is something delicately herbal about this aroma as well, although I cannot pinpoint exactly where this note might be coming from. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is no way that I would describe the smell of this as being at all fruity or warming. It's a very grounded, natural aroma that has a cooling note that you could almost describe as being like the smell of a Galia melon. It's sweet in the way that the aforementioned fruit is, so nothing like any of the citrus smells that the company are offering in multiple other products.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I will say about <i>Silver Bells</i> is that is works wonderfully as a shower jelly: lathering up with ease and produce super softening foam to massage across your skin. The inclusion of the black sesame seed milk is perhaps what makes it so moisturising, as you can really feel as smooth and shiny it leaves your skin after you've rinsed the suds away. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ultimately, this is one of those rare products that is either going to inspire you to buy the shop out of tubs before the season is over, or to hold your nose and run a million miles in the opposite direction. It stands out in the Christmas range this year and I feel very privileged that I have had the opportunity to try one out for size. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I will definitely continue to use this regularly over the winter season. However, I also intend to save it for the summer months so I can appreciate how its cool, crisp nature will refresh my skin after a hot day out in the sun. Silver Bells is a much welcomed new product to the seasonal range this year.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As part of my healing and transformation, I've recently began to engage in lots of research about the Ayurvedic way of living. In its simplest terms, this ancient lifestyle follows the theory that there are three different energies that a body can harvest, and depending on the one you most associate with, there are certain choices you can make regarding the foods you eat and the way you conduct your life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lTHCVnttlwdwibHMphE1OgmhuJf3o8lyu4gIdrd_7vbgpTo467ZaAlzX19pwTsguTIpcRoeSKpLo8zuGroF0sv-GN6CYRqjP49_BJsGyHHb0hik9LOU6b35SVTLHjh79dC4hCLQbfoE/s1600/IMG_3740.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1228" data-original-width="1242" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lTHCVnttlwdwibHMphE1OgmhuJf3o8lyu4gIdrd_7vbgpTo467ZaAlzX19pwTsguTIpcRoeSKpLo8zuGroF0sv-GN6CYRqjP49_BJsGyHHb0hik9LOU6b35SVTLHjh79dC4hCLQbfoE/s320/IMG_3740.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While it's far more complex than that, my research has led me to the understanding that I can relate to the energy Vata. This not only means that I need to eat wholesome, hearty meals to sustain and nourish my body, but that the spices I should be focused on are the more warming varieties. This means that an abundance of cinnamon is considered extremely beneficial to sustain and improve my mood and a natural balance within my body.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On paper, <i>Fireball Bath Bomb</i> appears to be the perfect remedy after a long day of work. Sharing its scent with the <i>Cinders</i> range, this warm, spice collaboration of cinnamon and orange oil make this one of the most Christmasy fragrances available from the range this year. After a rather frosty day at work, I couldn't wait to share the bath tub with this exclusive beauty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I will say is that both the orange and the cinnamon work in perfect unison, with neither one of them stealing the limelight over the other. The former ingredients brings about a warm, fruity note to the mix; whilst the latter adds a little spice to bring back the feeling in those frozen toes. Although not as complex as <i>Cinders Shower Gel</i> from last year's range, this bath bomb is extremely beautiful and a perfect balance of warmth and spice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Making its debut in the 2019 Christmas range, this bath bomb is simply adorable to look at, and reminds me a little of the classic Mario game I used to play when I was a child. Not only do the vivid shades of yellow, orange and red make it stand out in the rather comprehensive collection this year, but the smell itself is exactly on par with the original Cinder Bath Bomb, which happened to be available during the very first Christmas that I got into Lush. This only served to intensify how excited I was about using this for the first time in the bath.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While a little smaller than the average sized bath bomb, <i>Fireball</i> does exactly as you would expect it to do. Upon contact with the water, the array of fiery colours shoots out across the surface of the tub, as the crackle of the popping candy can be heard alongside this. As the yellows and oranges and reds bubble and swirl around the water, a wonderful shade of orange begins to form underneath - which ultimately represents the colour you are left with. </span><br />

Having said that, the wonderful fragrance didn't dissipate much at all, and I was able to smell the wonderful warming smell of cinnamon and orange throughout the whole experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I will say is that I wasn't then able to smell the product on my skin once I had towelled myself down. However, what it lacked in lasting smell, it more than made up for in how it left the condition of my skin. As I tend to take less baths now than I once did, I really notice when a bath bomb moisturises my skin more than most, and <i>Fireball </i>certainly did this: leaving my body feeling really soft and smooth to the touch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As a word of warning, I should point out that there may be a small chance that the bath bomb will stain your tub, but this is only if you allow the water to drain away and forget to give the bath a little rinse down afterwards. I found that some of the yellow colour remained on the base of my tub afterwards, and had I not noticed it, would probably have left a lasting mark for me to scrub the following day. However, a quick rinse and wipe down afterwards and it wasn't a problem at all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, this is a wonderful release from Lush and definitely a step up from the already beautiful <i>Cinders</i>, which still holds a place in my heart to this day. This is definitely one you should invest in if you're looking for warming smells, and I can only hope that I manage to get my hands on another one or two before the season is out. This will definitely ignite the fire after a day braving the cold.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the recurring themes that tends to come up in discussions about Lush products is this understanding that mint is a really uplifting, and very healing fragrance to use to benefit your mental health. While I have always found mint aromas have the power to elevate my spirit at times, I have never truly understood the full extent of their healing capacities until recently. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With the downfall of my mental health in recent months, <i>Polar Bear Plunge Bubble Bar</i> couldn't have come at a better time. This spearmint-scented beauty not only offered me one of the most moisturising baths I have had in a long time, but recognising how much this product was also able to improve my mental health that particular day was simply astounding. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFms3r5_9_wGocaiBc1srogo8TFQniDPXBbC32rFnWbpoc52z3R5687y-n8MYpB09m1v0u6R6-Ka5Be-6PhUV26d-AGC1aLxZfvTilKrf6dWx6Y3dF_Z8tgKFV8QqAWUHVaOtzI8kC00o/s1600/IMG_3550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1036" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFms3r5_9_wGocaiBc1srogo8TFQniDPXBbC32rFnWbpoc52z3R5687y-n8MYpB09m1v0u6R6-Ka5Be-6PhUV26d-AGC1aLxZfvTilKrf6dWx6Y3dF_Z8tgKFV8QqAWUHVaOtzI8kC00o/s320/IMG_3550.jpg" width="306" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Firstly, let's start with the fact that this bubble bar is perhaps one of the cutest bath products that Lush have ever created. Who would not want to bathe with a miniature version of one of the most beautiful creatures on our planet? Everything about this Christmas special has been perfectly crafted: from it's size, shape, design and scent, and would be the perfect stocking filler for adult and child alike.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I love about <i>Polar Bear </i>is that it epitomises a very basic design and fragrance. Whereas I would normally shy away from quite basic smells, there is something rather comforting about the simplicity of this scent, and the fact that it doesn't add any colour to the bath water as well. For this latter reason, this bubble bar would work well with any other bath bomb you wish to combine it with - adding a cooling, refreshing undertone to indulge yourself in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having said that, this limited edition is perhaps not as strong as you would initially envisage it to be. In fact, I was rather surprised to discover that the 'bite' of the spearmint is fairly tame compared to other Lush products that feature this ingredient as a key component. Therefore, if you dislike strong mint scents, this one is definitely far tamer than you would imagine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Strangely, when crumbling this under the running water, I found that the consistency is very on par with that of a reusable bubble bar. I discovered that it was very difficult to actually break the bubble bar apart, and simply holding it under the running water was enough to generate a generous amount of bubbles in my bath tub. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxDWRf-tP_CV2VoicZKFqY8KUcUk4AB6IH6DNcv39FymKt9O2XWnPxVPjxp6iFyvbcOt6heYaCcpjdHWMKjkRtTu57e0Z42ZZzQ2yxRDkL-dpUdygBaMgF0hFomeySrHvrm8bBgyUas6Y/s1600/IMG_3551.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1100" data-original-width="1123" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxDWRf-tP_CV2VoicZKFqY8KUcUk4AB6IH6DNcv39FymKt9O2XWnPxVPjxp6iFyvbcOt6heYaCcpjdHWMKjkRtTu57e0Z42ZZzQ2yxRDkL-dpUdygBaMgF0hFomeySrHvrm8bBgyUas6Y/s320/IMG_3551.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In fact, I would say that it would be far more conducive to cut the bubble bar into 3-4 pieces beforehand, and only use part of the <i>Polar Bear</i> with each bath. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This makes this seasonal special really good value for money in my eyes, as it works out at roughly £1.25 per bath. Compared to a £4 bath oil, this seems a little more reasonable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Despite its lack of colour in the tub, the softness of the water was really obvious from the moment I submerged beneath the surface. Within a matter of minutes the condition of my skin felt completely different: it was far softer; more velvet to the touch; and it just appeared incredibly nourished. This feeling continued for the rest of the day and into the next, without needing to use a body lotion or massage bar afterwards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ultimately, I can see why there has been so much hype surrounding this bubble bar, as it is quite simply a perfect product. The design itself is utterly cute; the scent is strong enough to last long after the plug has been pulled, yet not so strong to overwhelm the senses; the way it nourishes and improves the condition of your skin, and enhances your mental health is simply phenomenon. This needs to become a regular member of the Lush range, and I would highly recommend that you grab yourself one of these before the year is out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I have been so absent from the community these last few months, I quite literally have no clue what products have been released, and every new item I pull out of my box is a complete surprise. Therefore, when I first pulled out a slab of <i>Winter Berry Soap</i>, my immediate reaction was that it was just a brand new rendition of the <i>Raspberry Milkshake Soap</i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However, upon inspection of the ingredients list and the scent that greeted my nose, I realised that it was not as I originally assumed. In fact, upon further investigation, I discovered that this brand new member of the Christmas range supposedly shared it scent with the <i>Angels' Delight Soap</i> that was a regular feature of the season range a good many years ago. </span><br />

However, I feel as if some of its magic has been lost very slightly in this latest soap offering.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To my nose, the smell of <i>Winter Berry</i> is a bright, fruity tangerine smell, with an extra playful burst of magic that can almost be associated with any other citrus smell you wish to imagine. Think you can smell a fruity strawberry smell here? You're probably right. Something a little more bright and citrusy overtaking your nose? Why not. There is something about this warming aroma that smells almost synthetic but equally as fresh and playful, and blimin' beautiful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However, what spoilt this experience for me was the soap itself. On the surface, I loved the fact that Lush included an abundance of strawberry seeds to add a little exfoliation action when I lathered the soap across my skin. You can honestly feel the presence of the seeds under the surface of the soap, and it does make a difference to how smooth your skin feels afterwards, without being at all 'scratchy' in the process.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The design of the soap as well, with its bumpy surface, means that you almost feel as if you're giving yourself a massage whilst you're cleaning yourself. This only serves to calm and relax your body and mind a little more, which is perfect if your plan is to head to bed soon after you've had your shower.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Although easy to hold and manoeuvre across the body, within a couple of days it almost felt as if the soap was going to break in half when under the water: it felt flimsy and like there was very little product in the block to begin with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While <i>Winter Berry</i> is sold in 100g blocks, I almost feel as if you're getting a lot less product that other soaps of the same weight. This is probably more to do with the shape of the design itself, but needless to say that I feel as I won't be able to utilise this soap as long as some of the other seasonal soaps, because of the fact that the way it shrinks leaves it harder to use across the skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having said that, <i>Winter Berry</i> does produce quite a nice oily lather, which coats the skin with ease and leaves a wonderful fruity fragrance that lingers for a good hour after you've left the shower. However, by itself it hasn't proven to be particularly nourishing on my skin, and I did need to use a body lotion afterwards to put back some of that moisture into my skin again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, I really appreciated the scent of this soap and I did enjoy the strawberry seeds to add a little exfoliation. However, the design and shape of this doesn't allow for any sort of longevity once the soap begins to shrink, and therefore wouldn't be one that I would invest in a second time around. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A Christmas period without an abundance of <i>Snow Fairy </i>would almost be the the same as having a birthday party without cake: it just wouldn't feel right. Yet that's not to say that us long-term Lush fans always appreciate the number of products that saturate the seasonal range every year. I'll be honest and say that there hasn't been a <i>Snow Fairy</i> scented product that has ever excited me as much as the original shower gel, and there hasn't ever been a <i>Snow Fairy </i>release that has made me want to buy more than the initial one I've invested in, aside from the potted body conditioner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi7ixMrsrOwDyD6MpqgtdFWdVCPUD2yOXjlaIG0q0e32oU2quDbs6vlF7MpkawRb2tlpiIJbW5Pbm_jXmmxBTDaIq0RLRdV9FbWShboCP0BRId43mppklEtMBYwEtth3jQIcnhKyBZy04/s1600/IMG_3731.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1204" data-original-width="1163" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi7ixMrsrOwDyD6MpqgtdFWdVCPUD2yOXjlaIG0q0e32oU2quDbs6vlF7MpkawRb2tlpiIJbW5Pbm_jXmmxBTDaIq0RLRdV9FbWShboCP0BRId43mppklEtMBYwEtth3jQIcnhKyBZy04/s320/IMG_3731.jpg" width="309" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yet this year Lush have decided that the millions of sickly candy-scented products wouldn't be complete without a soap to join their ranks. Last year's cold-pressed version wasn't obviously in agreement with a large percentage of consumers, so this year's rendition is a hexagonal block of bright pink goodness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sharing it's design with one of last year's bath bombs, this pink block of solid oils looks like the Barbie version of a snowflake. Yet a difference that I noticed straight away with the fragrance of this was that the inclusion of the marshmallow root seems to give this soap an almost extra powdery note on top of the usual sickly sweet scents that you would expect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For those who have never tried <i>Snow Fairy</i>, this is easily Lush's most commercial and also their most synthetic fragrance that they have ever produced. You wouldn't be hard-pressed to find something similar to this smell in your regular high street stores: which is why many new Lush fans find themselves hooked on this scent family first.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMkAUaouE73dYz8VQ9Jq2Rcop9p0r6cbemgCjY_XZm2jjg996JZ4oqeL5K0rdP_yHnhgSi0ms0F2CQAozz1EAWi2ASE-k5xVegGSvHvwib1iP6nKU5gJi896_GqeEPxmTfTA47ToIHH4/s1600/IMG_3732.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1208" data-original-width="1209" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMkAUaouE73dYz8VQ9Jq2Rcop9p0r6cbemgCjY_XZm2jjg996JZ4oqeL5K0rdP_yHnhgSi0ms0F2CQAozz1EAWi2ASE-k5xVegGSvHvwib1iP6nKU5gJi896_GqeEPxmTfTA47ToIHH4/s320/IMG_3732.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I have described in the million and one other reviews of <i>Snow Fairy</i> smelling cosmetics, the scent of this soap is like a playful, youthful candy floss aroma, with hints of raspberry bubblegum and synthetic vanilla alongside this. While the smell is very intense and does last a while on the skin, I wouldn't ever say that this fragrance was particularly complex or interesting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I found promising with this soap rendition is that it lathers up wit ease under the running water, and it didn't take more than a matter of seconds to produce enough foam to clean my entire body with. However, because it is rather generous, the block tends to shrink fairly quickly, and I found that after using it for the first week - even when I made a conscious effort to keep it away from too much water - that the a good third of the bar had been used. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Although I'm only estimating a time frame, I can imagine a 250g bottle of the original shower gel lasting almost quadruple the amount of time that one of these Snow Fairy soaps would last me, and I happen to think that the smell of the shower gel is far better, and far more robust, than what this soap has offered me recently. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As with most soaps I have tried from Lush, <i>Snow Fairy </i>isn't exactly the most moisturising on my skin, and I did need to moisturise afterwards in order to retain the moisture in my skin. Luckily, Lush have re-released their body conditioner this year so I was able to use that to restore some of the missing moisture. However, this is not something I would usually need to worry about with any of their shower gels and jellies. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxk1aDqjFjlD11ggezNJXtW7ZM-JvJAdLHlG97pJgyXKWw-QCVx7fn4iWlqhUzhaZZbNYROWFsr6ruhOVzKE1GzOkf8LCb5sEgirKuDLes_8MU9GsNNSh4RjnoeY7o0NKUgKLq5ezPe2k/s1600/CB0E8FFC-60E5-4AA2-8917-C0B91B720A99.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxk1aDqjFjlD11ggezNJXtW7ZM-JvJAdLHlG97pJgyXKWw-QCVx7fn4iWlqhUzhaZZbNYROWFsr6ruhOVzKE1GzOkf8LCb5sEgirKuDLes_8MU9GsNNSh4RjnoeY7o0NKUgKLq5ezPe2k/s320/CB0E8FFC-60E5-4AA2-8917-C0B91B720A99.JPG" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Therefore, if you're in love with the <i>Snow Fairy</i> scent, you will probably appreciate that Lush have created another format to get your eager hands on. However, if you're not particularly bothered by this fragrance family, you may wish to choose an alternative product to try, or stick with the shower gel if you fancy something sweet, but something that is equally moisturising. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As a stocking filler, this would make a nice little gift, as it looks rather lovely and does have a pretty smell to enjoy. However, the speed in which the soap shrinks; and the lack of moisture that it leaves on your skin afterwards, means that this is not something I would advocate buying many of.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks to the inclusion of this brand new shower jelly in the Christmas range this year, I haven't gone a day without hearing 'FIIIIVE GOLDEN RINGS' within my mental chatter. In fact, the mere thought of the famous seasonal tune had me thinking that Lush would benefit from actually creating a collection of 12 products to match each of the days, one year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3yWbZDLTFDvs3SJ_RkNcmmmSDx6_lVFIZOuoIaFpCD4P43TQxSV2eztSa20UXr_PXk07CxCWSA6__lXI6JG8GZSUlRT_pE5Ouvppnzmkq286PyMoE3YhC4RGxktdvYARuU9vj1dgCT4M/s1600/IMG_3117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1076" data-original-width="1028" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3yWbZDLTFDvs3SJ_RkNcmmmSDx6_lVFIZOuoIaFpCD4P43TQxSV2eztSa20UXr_PXk07CxCWSA6__lXI6JG8GZSUlRT_pE5Ouvppnzmkq286PyMoE3YhC4RGxktdvYARuU9vj1dgCT4M/s320/IMG_3117.jpg" width="305" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While a brand new product for the 2019 range, <i>Drummers Drumming Shower Jelly</i> is not in itself completely unique. It both shares its name with a reusable bubble bar that made a fleeting appearance many Christmases ago, and offers the same fragrance as the <i>Peachy Bath Bath Bomb</i> that came out earlier this year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In fact, it is this latter point that makes this shower jelly rather unique and special within the Christmas range this year. I say this because normally we are inundated with either sweet candy or spicy smells to support the seasonal trend of most cosmetics, and this latest release is neither.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Containing grapefruit, davana, elemi and tagetes oils, this golden shower jelly has a wonderfully sweet yet slightly green fruity smell. There is something almost astringent about it, which reminds me of the pith of the grapefruit, which grounds the aroma and gives it more depth than some of the less charismatic citrusy smells that feature in the range.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHihhaHD3O28Dz9wmFAJEcYMZXFk4YzfP_lbONGoUGyFf8TPDvUl2LGDU92Quiqzq1cPRKNnICQmywmHtMGCj6xzqu7xi77xUut-AkiY_CG0NBRJ1w2TM3PiKWIyuXBNikG7GtMWOJBiI/s1600/IMG_3118.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1149" data-original-width="1092" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHihhaHD3O28Dz9wmFAJEcYMZXFk4YzfP_lbONGoUGyFf8TPDvUl2LGDU92Quiqzq1cPRKNnICQmywmHtMGCj6xzqu7xi77xUut-AkiY_CG0NBRJ1w2TM3PiKWIyuXBNikG7GtMWOJBiI/s320/IMG_3118.jpg" width="304" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While described as a peachy smell, I would say that it reminds me more of the dry fruity smell of an apricot, with a slightly green note underneath. Yet, what I have also found is that if you really engage with the aroma as well, there is something about the aroma underneath all of this that reminds me slightly of cocoa as well. This latter statement may confuse many consumers who have read that it's strictly a fruity smell. However, my nose detects a note of something that reminds me of the rich, sultry note that cocoa can often bring to the table. Perhaps my nose is broken but that's just my experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What I will say is that it does smell slightly stronger than the original bath bomb, and it's not as powdery either. However, it does possess the key notes that will make it recognisable for fans of the bath bomb.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Strangely, when I opened the tub I found that there seemed to be quite a lot of space between <i>Drummers Drumming Shower Jelly</i> and the edge of the tub. Usually the shower jellies slot perfectly into the tubs and I actually sometimes struggle to put them back in, once I've finished using them. However, this one seemed to be a little smaller than usual, although I think this is more about the consistency of the jelly as opposed to a factory issue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What I did find was that it took a little practice to lather this one up, and I still didn't think it was as generous as other shower jellies. Yet, this is probably due to the amount of oil present in the ingredients list, which is why I would describe this one as being a little more on the oily side than the 'foamy' side. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYwRDFJWdvdvdDAEoF3QOUcybNo5WNeT4pO-6Sm5PgNCUZorJcTkFQIWXx4D6JWikvKzllvebul1hYnyrMAVcJWsHMkxypbKfFBKUGvq-ZTg8K9aNBQXETdMbqjSXbOQidIXph9cwCNQ8/s1600/IMG_3119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1026" data-original-width="1141" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYwRDFJWdvdvdDAEoF3QOUcybNo5WNeT4pO-6Sm5PgNCUZorJcTkFQIWXx4D6JWikvKzllvebul1hYnyrMAVcJWsHMkxypbKfFBKUGvq-ZTg8K9aNBQXETdMbqjSXbOQidIXph9cwCNQ8/s320/IMG_3119.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Having said that, once the shower jelly did begin to produce a lather, it was easy to stimulate a little more by massaging it across my skin. Furthermore, I will say that I was really impressed by how instantaneous the shower jelly made my skin feel moisturised, and I didn't need very much for my body to feel clean and nourished. It might also be worth noting that the scent was very prominent throughout my experience, and lingered on my skin and hair for a good while after I had exited the shower.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After using this daily for almost two weeks, the size of the jelly hasn't shrunk very much, which means that this is definitely good value for money. However, it's one of those jellies that can 'crack' very easily, especially if you're a 'squeezer' in the shower, so you may wish to be a little less overzealous on how you massage this across your skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall, I really enjoyed this shower jelly and felt that <i>Drummers Drumming</i> replicated the <i>Peachy</i> fragrance really well. The shower jelly cleans and nourishes your skin nicely, and leaves a lasting impression in terms of both smell and condition. It's almost a great alternative for those who bore easily of the typical Christmassy fragrances, as this scent could be used at any time throughout the year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm beginning a very transitional period in my life at the moment so the idea of 'flying to the moon' sounds like a good next step to take. Perhaps a few months up there would be a good opportunity to heal myself enough to feel grounded once more on planet earth, when I return. Unfortunately, nipping to the moon for a vacation just isn't exactly possible at the moment, so the bathe bomb equivalent will have to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

For this reason, it needs to offer something rather impressive to convince consumers to part with their hard-earned cash. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is rather beautiful about this seasonal special is the gentle hue of lustre that coats the surface and adds a shimmer both before use, and once it's fully dissolved into the water. There is something rather delicately gorgeous about the subtle glimmer across the water during the experience - one that is perhaps more suited to those who dislike too much 'glitter' in their bath tub. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As with a few other 'Amazeballs' in the Christmas range, this one features a removal lid. Despite it appearing slightly bigger in size than the average bath bomb, it actually happens to be hollow, with just a large dosage of white sugar crystals filling the 'empty' space inside. For this reason, it's a little on the delicate side and does need to be packed well to travel from the factory to your doorstep. If you're thinking of giving this one as a gift, you may wish to think how you're going to preserve it's shape, whilst also ensuring you don't spill its contents as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Containing lime and sweet orange oils as the key ingredients, with a generous helping of olibanum resinoid underneath, this bath bomb is sweet, fruity scent that compliments the </span><i style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Never Mind The Ballistics </i><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">fragrance nicely. While very similar, and many consumers have claimed that it was purposely designed to replicate the smell, I do feel as if there are some differences that set it apart. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This bath bomb is perhaps a little less wholesome in scent, as in it smells a little more 'dispersed' than the aforementioned bath bomb, and the most recent <i>Bam! Shower Slime</i>. However, there is something very juicy yet equally as rich and sultry about <i>Fly Me To The Moon</i> that hits the spot without a doubt.</span><br />

As soon as I let it go, it tipped to the side and began to spill its contents out into the water, which create a very fast and expansive white and purple foam that coated the surface of the tub. At the same time, the lid sent out a vibrant shade of purple that interspersed with the wave of white and created a thick blanket of colour.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is interesting about this bath bomb is that you can actually choose to tip the inner contents of the product into the water first, most notably when the water is still running. Supposedly, the powder has the same properties of a bubble bar so you should be able to stimulate some bubbles before unleashing the bath bomb into the water to add colour afterwards. While I didn't try this out with <i>Fly Me To The Moon</i>, I did experiment with one of the other Amazeballs that Lush are currently offering and found that they do indeed produce some fluffy bubbles to accompany you in the bath tub.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The best part about this bath bomb was just how much creamy foam spread out across the water, which once fully dispersed, helped to create a wonderfully soft and moisturising bathing experience. My skin felt incredibly nourished and smooth after bathing with one of these, and the scent remained on my skin for a short while after towelling myself down. </span><br />

My mood was elevated and my skin felt simply beautiful afterwards, not to mention the fact that the fragrance was present throughout the whole experience, and stayed on my skin afterwards.</span><br />
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While I'd still maintain that this the price of this is perhaps a littl</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">e more than I would comfortably hand over for an average bath bomb, the fact that this is limited edition means that it's definitely worth investing in at least once. As a present, this would definitely be a welcome gift, and does help to wash away the cold weather with its beautiful smell and presence. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's strange to think that it was only five years ago that a certain <i>Yog Nog Soap</i> first appeared as part of the Christmas range, and won the hearts of enough consumers to be brought back as a perfume, body lotion and bath bomb amongst other products. If you're a fan of this scent family, this latest release will captivate you with its very magic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8UMH0F6XmYqHXVt_jJixTsNOeFsVHi5oMoRkfR1TcctTGvyff8OmJs3P-r53Cf31FC9G5iu7AFUybLjezou_pUZnQFfchYOk3Pv0jPNpgz1-ws8eTWNRn1UdTFPRhy4hnGoUr1NAXnPk/s1600/IMG_2733.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1221" data-original-width="1221" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8UMH0F6XmYqHXVt_jJixTsNOeFsVHi5oMoRkfR1TcctTGvyff8OmJs3P-r53Cf31FC9G5iu7AFUybLjezou_pUZnQFfchYOk3Pv0jPNpgz1-ws8eTWNRn1UdTFPRhy4hnGoUr1NAXnPk/s320/IMG_2733.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sporting a stunning golden colour, <i>Yog Nog Shower Gel</i> offers up something you'd expect to find at the end of a rainbow. This is coupled with a generous helping of golden lustre to add a shimmer that threatens to blind you when it hits the light. Like summer bottled, this seasonal product is sure to bring the sunshine to your shower, even if the wind is howling outside the window. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Containing maple syrup and clove bud oil as two of the main ingredients, this shower gel smells like a rich, buttery caramel sauce, with a gentle warmth from the latter ingredient coming through underneath. The sweet, stickiness of the maple syrup really comes through in this shower gel and I could really imagine drizzling it straight over a bowl of ice cream or a vanilla cheesecake. <i>Yog Nog</i> is a naturally very foody smell and in this format this seems to intensify somewhat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While not exactly like any of the products in the same scent family, I would say that it's probably closest to either the liquid perfume or the original soap. It seems to lack a little of the burnt element that the body lotion has, and is also obviously less powdery than the bath bomb.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSdsbnpZ3wLgRi_UMfoOYYq32d0J6X8XCH7Kxe5M2uvQYPU7yqBchctvKCmXiSf4vGa5NALpCZ_d0Fck2IfIAeD5AuTMPCH9wZ-WJSIjwb8WzvJc0OfsJvl36XDD-WqxRpRQm26hP49TY/s1600/IMG_2732.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1016" data-original-width="853" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSdsbnpZ3wLgRi_UMfoOYYq32d0J6X8XCH7Kxe5M2uvQYPU7yqBchctvKCmXiSf4vGa5NALpCZ_d0Fck2IfIAeD5AuTMPCH9wZ-WJSIjwb8WzvJc0OfsJvl36XDD-WqxRpRQm26hP49TY/s320/IMG_2732.jpg" width="268" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What makes <i>Yog Nog Shower Gel</i> even more beautiful is that the ingredients really work on improving the condition of your skin, as well as cleaning your body in the process. The maple syrup helps to soften while also replenishing dried areas; the clove bud oil stimulates a little life back into your skin at the same time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The inclusion of both the almond and jojoba oils also hydrate and nourish the skin while being used in the shower, whilst the carrageenan extract and glycerin support these ingredients in making the experience extremely moisturising. I was really able to feel the effects of the shower gel straight after using it and this stayed with me for hours afterwards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Despite it being quite a thin shower gel, I found that <i>Yog Nog</i> was really effective at lathering up between my hands, and I have barely used a centimetre from the bottle even though I have used it most days across the last two weeks. While this makes it great value for money, I have to say that there is a temptation to use a lot more because of how scrumptious it is. For this reason, just to wary that you may get through a bottle far quicker than you need to, just because of the beautiful fragrance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

I could smell it for hours after I had towelled myself down and there was also a very delicate shimmer which gave my skin a little extra radiance as well. For those who may be worried that they'll come out of the shower looking like a disco ball, I can assure you that the shimmer really is hardly noticeable, unless you're looking for it specifically.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ultimately, fans of <i>Yog Nog</i> are no doubt going to love this rendition of their favourite scent and Lush have done a very good at replicating it in this format. While I have to be in the mood for foody scents, this definitely ticks many boxes in terms of value for money, usability, fragrance and design and I have enjoyed using this very much. I truly think that this will be one of the stand-out products from the Christmas range this year and I look forward to when everybody else will have the opportunity to try it for themselves.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">After a few weeks of playing around with <i>Brr! Shower Slime</i> every morning and evening, I have become quite the expert at knowing how much to use and how to get the most out of every shower. In fact, one of the most interesting things about both of Lush's brand new slimes is that they actually last just as long as a 250g bottle of shower gel, despite the format suggesting that you'll get through a tub in record speed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Although not as visually stunning, <i>Bam! Shower Slime</i> still possesses a wonderfully rich shade of blue to enjoy. In fact, I think there is something rather cooling about the colour itself that almost adds to its refreshing qualities and enriches your experience when in the shower.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Both of these essential oils come together to create a bright and very juicy aroma, while the inclusion of the olibanum oil adds a rich, sultry wave underneath to ground the citrus oils a little.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Just like with <i>Brr!</i>, the consistency of this shower slime can vary depending on how you use it and how long it's been sitting somewhere. There is usually a thick handful of gloop that fills up most of the pot. However, some of the oils tend to seperate themselves and create a thin, runny substance to use as well. Both consistencies both work really well at cleaning and lathering up and there's not much point trying to combine the two together as they tend to seperate rather quickly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">What I will say about the substance is that you only need very little to lather <i>Bam! </i>into a thick foam, similar to that of a shaving cream. In fact, as I stated in my previous review, I found that using too much of this as once actually hindered the slime from producing a generous amount of lather. For this reason, less is definitely more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Once on your body, you can feel how soft your skin becomes in a very short space of time. In a matter of seconds, I could feel how much more moisturised my hands and legs were and the radiance that I found once I towelled myself down was equally impressive. I would even go as far as staying that these shower slimes appear to work slightly better than the regular shower gels, which is not something that I could have ever envisage happening.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxi2_FqX-XYMKh23MXmyMkyEeQ6VrD-OidsqujPb6vuS9QhcfzZc9_qce6GmrLugHIlhHl2yiWS2UyrcUh9pJ7ovftXYT0EjSjBs3u02aWX9csRGdhtXz6j7rPcg4cOzIOqES2xdlryMg/s1600/IMG_2986.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1227" data-original-width="1169" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxi2_FqX-XYMKh23MXmyMkyEeQ6VrD-OidsqujPb6vuS9QhcfzZc9_qce6GmrLugHIlhHl2yiWS2UyrcUh9pJ7ovftXYT0EjSjBs3u02aWX9csRGdhtXz6j7rPcg4cOzIOqES2xdlryMg/s320/IMG_2986.jpg" width="304" /></a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">What was great about <i>Bam! </i>was that the oils not only produced a wonderful scent, but also helped to refresh and rejuvenate my skin at the same time. The inclusion of the orange oil helped to tone my skin, which was most evident on my face and legs; the lime oil welcomed a natural glow to my skin all over; and the olibanum oil calmed and soothed my skin - again, especially my face, where I was suffering from a few overzealous spots at the time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall,</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> this is perhaps a product that won't get as much recognition as it deserves, given its format. This is a shame as it actually works really well and leaves your skin clean, refreshed and looking noticeably vibrant. Bam! actually gets me a little excited for future slime releases from Lush, and I will be using mine scrupulously until that chance arises.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Just when you think that Lush cannot possibly come up with anything new, the shower slime concept appears in its playful, childlike manner, and again makes you wonder just what are Lush capable of doing next. L</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ke a wonderful homage to my two favourite childhood movies, <i>The Ghostbusters</i>, these limited edition delights will make your showers just that little bit more interesting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC_fGe5JGuQt3nZlL92Q9lORpyJibkmcU8-QMvQysanj85hdOShjL0_m4DRtqe1CdSqkJ_yWizF8b-f5KD0ieA4b9t1jjksKMye2PFHy9C0kOWL7ExH99Mc8T2fAOFuGB9BDHSeU94r80/s1600/IMG_2980.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1224" data-original-width="1242" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC_fGe5JGuQt3nZlL92Q9lORpyJibkmcU8-QMvQysanj85hdOShjL0_m4DRtqe1CdSqkJ_yWizF8b-f5KD0ieA4b9t1jjksKMye2PFHy9C0kOWL7ExH99Mc8T2fAOFuGB9BDHSeU94r80/s320/IMG_2980.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Brr!</i> is one of two brand new 'shower slimes' to appear in the Lush Labs release a few months ago and was definitely the one I gravitated to first. With its bright - almost fluorescent - yellow demeanour, this little beauty will appeal to both children and adults alike. There is nothing more satisfying than rubbing something that looks like its birthed an alien onto your skin...erm...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yet despite its wonderful colour, I was surprised to find that the aroma of this is not a citrusy one, as first expected. Instead, the inclusion of spearmint oil gives this slime a wonderfully warm and wholesome minty aroma. There is something about the smell of this that reminds me a lot of spearmint bubblegum, which is lovely. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Alongside the mint, there is also something sweet and playful laced around this note that creates an almost candy-esque note as well. I've read a few people's reviews who claim that the smell reminds them of the banana foam sweets that you find in the pic 'n' mix section, and I would agree that this is what I associate the sweetness with as well. It's not really what I would described as being a vanillary note, but there is definitely something rather powdery about the smell that comes from more than just the mint. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNcjdtHz3pQcIy-GHn1Sd5dGtBWpPp3BIkfysXqtJoZ3KRPiu8YpNPBeTUrbdIa-1ac2MN4m8hzxUWI9e_cTVmArkMnsUbC60VCEK0b37hN6agVv_siEV805Rcf7rfMq4f4mylPIw540M/s1600/IMG_2981.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1220" data-original-width="1242" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNcjdtHz3pQcIy-GHn1Sd5dGtBWpPp3BIkfysXqtJoZ3KRPiu8YpNPBeTUrbdIa-1ac2MN4m8hzxUWI9e_cTVmArkMnsUbC60VCEK0b37hN6agVv_siEV805Rcf7rfMq4f4mylPIw540M/s320/IMG_2981.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I will say about <i>Brr! Shower Slime</i> is that it does tend to separate in the tub, if you leave it sitting for a while. You tend to find that some of the slime is runny and thin whereas the majority of the product is rather thick and stretchy. My suggestion when using any of Lush's slimes is to tip the excess liquid into the palm of your hands before you've finished your shower and use this to wash with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As water tends to drip into the pot whilst you're grabbing some of the product to use, this can build up and create these little pockets of running liquid, which could then become a surface for bacteria to multiply even quicker. Draining this 'water' after each use will just increase the longevity of the product overall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What is great about <i>Brr!</i> is that you can immediately see and feel the product getting to work on your skin. You only need a small amount to lather between your hands and the slime will create a thick foam, similar to that of a shaving cream. When lathered across the skin, you can instantly feel has velvety-soft the product is and how it leaves your skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Interestingly, when using a large dosage, I actually found that the product worked less effectively and created less of a foam to work with, so it pays to use less when it comes to this slime. Despite its vivid colour, I also found that <i>Brr</i> was really delicate to use across my whole body, and I didn't once develop any irritation or rashes when using this whilst shaving.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjwAP5HdgrMoueHknF0gwrlEZd_XbxdJgjHbVK-iRTnBUGCSfd8X1HGCZZjLwFE3P1DBJ1yjEtHL6rhLLVosilbZGJI_TwsKCGSehI63_83Kj7MfTO-hs0uxQ35vRxwVk2nRPZxAoWQz8/s1600/IMG_2982.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1221" data-original-width="1242" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjwAP5HdgrMoueHknF0gwrlEZd_XbxdJgjHbVK-iRTnBUGCSfd8X1HGCZZjLwFE3P1DBJ1yjEtHL6rhLLVosilbZGJI_TwsKCGSehI63_83Kj7MfTO-hs0uxQ35vRxwVk2nRPZxAoWQz8/s320/IMG_2982.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Afterwards, my skin felt super smooth and there was even a gentle gleam across my legs. Unfortunately, I wasn't really able to smell this much past the first five minutes of towelling myself down. However, the effect of the slime was prevalent for a good many hours and this is always the most important factor of any product for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, <i>Brr! Shower Slime</i>, despite the fact that it initially felt like a novelty, turned out to be a really enjoyable addition to my shower routine. I didn't need much with each use; I was able to notice how nourished my skin felt almost immediately; and there was something very playful about it that added a little more fun to my morning and evening rituals. I am very much looking forward to trying the other shower slimes out for size, and can imagine that they will heed similar positive results. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think it's only fair to start this review by putting many fans of <i>Snowcake </i>out of their misery and state that this brand new limited edition body lotion does not share the same scent as any of the popular products in this scent family. While there are lots of almond qualities about this seasonal release that may remind consumers of the aforementioned seasonal favourite, I happen to think that it is very different from the classic <i>Snowcake</i> fragrance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHe5o0uVtkpUOP-tnW_Ewd0oZJTXKgMfB1Mk4iiQRZTgUiLiSUWFt9BwzOyLF0FynmvDBz0PZikPVYdbMBVVCZw6oxQXk3Lyu8cNBQ_wHCfkZiTv7AAlVRrrq1SYGkCBH0Rneixc8iTTk/s1600/IMG_2728.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1046" data-original-width="1188" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHe5o0uVtkpUOP-tnW_Ewd0oZJTXKgMfB1Mk4iiQRZTgUiLiSUWFt9BwzOyLF0FynmvDBz0PZikPVYdbMBVVCZw6oxQXk3Lyu8cNBQ_wHCfkZiTv7AAlVRrrq1SYGkCBH0Rneixc8iTTk/s320/IMG_2728.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having said that, when I first gave <i>Snowflake</i> a sniff from the tub, and rubbed a little into my skin, there was definitely something present in this body lotion that reminded me of <i>Snowcake</i>. However, after using it for the past couple of weeks, I can safely say that I have noticed many differences about the smell that makes it unique from anything else that has come out before.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From the tub, the body lotion offers many subtle layers that work in unison with each other. First of all, there is definitely something very creamy and almond-like about the product. Coupled with the cocoa butter, the base layer of this smells very smooth and silky.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Alongside this, both the cedarwood and sandalwood help to intensify this base layer with their own grounded, woody notes. Although you aren't really able to detect either particularly strongly, you can definitely tell that there is 'something' there to thicken out the overall aroma, and add depth to the fragrance overall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yet, alongside this there is also quite a pronounced layer of both apricot and rose. While the latter brings about something quite warm and sweet and delicately floral (as you would expect from most of Lush's rose-dominated products) the apricot gives the body lotion almost a sharp fruity element as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz0OPoxKNhNmY_BnWeMxmfdMCcNLpRqwdDEMelLB7mXKXSJR-6xkeCXeurJf9vgZqkIpmj4J7C5G15cLy1UUmP59oT-8FnfrfDGUoj_CcI5BJShfosiQ93Va1ftajd1UAQb5_RbfmfTQg/s1600/IMG_2729.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1035" data-original-width="1158" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz0OPoxKNhNmY_BnWeMxmfdMCcNLpRqwdDEMelLB7mXKXSJR-6xkeCXeurJf9vgZqkIpmj4J7C5G15cLy1UUmP59oT-8FnfrfDGUoj_CcI5BJShfosiQ93Va1ftajd1UAQb5_RbfmfTQg/s320/IMG_2729.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In all honesty, there is something about the latter component that spoils this body lotion for me, although luckily the apricot scent disperses after settling on the skin for a while. In a way, I don't think the apricot really suits being here as it's not really able to flourish by itself and offer something super sweet and juicy. Instead, both this and the rose seem to clash a little to my nose, and the combination offers something a little strange and alluring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Perhaps this was intentional, who knows. But what I appreciate is that it is certainly something very new to the range this year, and definitely doesn't offer an experience that would be limited to a particular season. Unfortunately, I cannot really see this scent working in most other formats so it's a little limited in this way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I did appreciate about <i>Snowflake</i> was that both the rose and the creamy notes of almond intensified from the warmth of my skin after I had applied it, and the apricot seemed to disperse quite a fair bit as well. These former two components then remained on my skin for a good couple of hours after application.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While this lotion is slightly on the thinner side, you really don't need an awful lot to cover a large area of your body. However, once the product has been massaged into the skin, it does tend to take a little longer than usual to fully absorb into the body. While you're not left with greasy skin, there is 'something' present on the surface for a good twenty minutes after you've applied the lotion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhThRP0ofCiXbnSea6ujM3tMA__vq7Ei-KNQ7pG8KFH2j3EAczMPOc931YShisXDpP_vxPzsk3XCfRFkGxmEVXQUqRnNsNZKXpAxQ3zBo0UeO-cxeEjBkiBp4SYLzNQ2csYOKSkQvxqmD8/s1600/IMG_2730.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1025" data-original-width="1136" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhThRP0ofCiXbnSea6ujM3tMA__vq7Ei-KNQ7pG8KFH2j3EAczMPOc931YShisXDpP_vxPzsk3XCfRFkGxmEVXQUqRnNsNZKXpAxQ3zBo0UeO-cxeEjBkiBp4SYLzNQ2csYOKSkQvxqmD8/s320/IMG_2730.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After using this for a couple of weeks, I found that my skin began to look and feel healthier - particularly my legs that had began to show signs of being dry following the sudden change in weather. Despite how thin the body lotion was, I really felt as if it covered a thick coverage across the body, which will be vital during the colder months of the year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As to whether I would buy this again, that would all depend on my mood at the time. It doesn't offer a scent that I particularly relish in, although I'm not by any means saying that the fragrance is at all bad. However, it did improve the condition of my skin, and leave it with a gentle radiance - all in matter of days/weeks - so <i>Snowflake</i> would be a good body lotion to use when the frosty weather begins to take hold. This is a product that does a good job but probably won't be one remembered in future months/years time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Given my current life situation, having baths in the middle of the day is the only reprieve I have from the mess I'm trying to stumble through ninety-nine per cent of the time. Having any bath bombs to 'play' with is always a luxury, but having ones as good quality as Lush's Christmas range makes me extremely grateful to the people who made it possible.</span></div>

This beauty is definitely for those who have a sweet tooth, especially when you're trying to consume less sugar over the Christmas celebrations. Stick one of these in your bath tub and its very much like having your cake and bathing in it...er...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Supposedly sharing its scent with <a href="https://allthingslushuk.blogspot.com/2013/03/review-let-good-times-roll-facial.html">Let The Good Times Roll Facial Cleanser</a>, this limited edition offers a warm, buttery caramel smell to drool over. While fans of Yog Nog will no doubt appreciate this fragrance as well, this is definitely less cloying and not as heavy smelling as the aforementioned bath bomb, which makes it a wonderful alternative if you're wanting something sweet but gentle as well. There is also something slightly 'dry' about the smell, once it has fully dissolved in the bath, which could be seen as a homage to the popcorn pieces that feature in the original facial cleanser.</span></div>

It was a matter of seconds after I placed it in the water that it began to crackle loudly as it bobbed across the surface. This continued for the whole ten or so minutes it took for the product to fully dissolve, and then I could still her remnants of the ingredient underneath the water when I submerged my head.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What sets this apart from most of Lush's bath bombs is that it was a fairly slow fizzer, which meant that for the first couple of minutes it simply bobbed and spun across the surface without producing huge amounts of colour. However, once the water began to reach the centre, streams of bright yellow and orange began to explode out from the sides and paint the water a rich, sultry shade of yellow.</span></div>

And I still stick by this premise. However, my state of mind when bathing with <i>Pop Art</i> allowed me see the yellow as more like a little bout of sunshine, which is something we will be needing more of as the winter season takes over the weather.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The inclusion of the sea salt really makes a difference when using this bath bomb. I was able to feel the difference it made to my skin and the water felt silky-smooth throughout the whole process. Furthermore, a few small wounds I had on my feet seemed to heal up noticeably quicker after bathing with <i>Pop Art</i>, not to mention that its combination of scent and colour elevated my mood a little as well.</span></div>

However, I was able to detect remnants on my hands, arms and the ends of my hair afterwards, all of which stayed with me for an impressive 4-5 hours. It made me realise how much a body lotion in this scent would be a lovely addition to the range.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, this is a great new release from Lush and one that I hope to be able to use again in the future. Unless you're opposed to yellow-coloured baths, <i>Pop Art</i> is for those who have a seriously sweet tooth and want an alternative to <i>Yog Nog</i> this year. While it is very foody and definitely doesn't have as much character as some of Lush's other seasonal choices, this will certainly be very popular during the Christmas season, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was made permanent at some point in the future.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Despite the sun still shining gloriously outside of my window, there was something about the idea of a comforting bath that led me into having one for the first time in months. While self care is incredibly important, I've had neither the mental capacity or the practical means to actually have a bath, even if I wanted to - making this particular experience extremely special. I can honestly say that there is something incredibly magical about this release and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction back into the world of Lush.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Offering a fragrance that I wouldn't describe as being strictly festive, this limited edition is one of those wonderful bombs designed to compliment the winter weather as opposed to being 'too Christmassy.' However, I should probably point out that the scent of this bomb is definitely more of an acquired taste, and definitely not suitable for anyone who dislikes heady smells. This one will stick to your nose and your bathroom like an overly loyal dog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sporting a pastel green design, <i>Santa's Grotto</i> offers beautiful, chunky pieces of sea salt on top, some of which have been coloured a sparkly golden colour to add a beautiful glimmer. Alongside this, little rocks of red popping candy have been embedded in the surface to add an extra feature to marvel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiaREQTL8LxzPKdKkcA_nV8mPmHSMkjZdrlYMZJBjJmRXBJrPHZ4cQYFF_EbNitcWZF-OYmjMwebtKlFDIHilZDXoAsX7GGbHW81hH8GXXv1hhjZUhEqFySjSnt_yCZBa0RWyjiAdGY9Q/s1600/IMG_2667.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1214" data-original-width="1242" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiaREQTL8LxzPKdKkcA_nV8mPmHSMkjZdrlYMZJBjJmRXBJrPHZ4cQYFF_EbNitcWZF-OYmjMwebtKlFDIHilZDXoAsX7GGbHW81hH8GXXv1hhjZUhEqFySjSnt_yCZBa0RWyjiAdGY9Q/s320/IMG_2667.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Featuring a combination of everlasting flower absolute, ylang ylang and tagetes, the scent of this bath bomb is quite difficult to describe, and certainly doesn't do it justice at all when I do so. What I will say is that despite other descriptions, I do detect quite a distinctive floral aroma. It's very powdery and heady and features both a herbal twist that deepens and intensifies the fragrance of the everlasting flower, and a slightly grassy edge that gives it more of a 'green' feel as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Despite there being nothing in the ingredients list to suggest where it comes from, there is also something naturally sweet and almost citrus-like about this smell as well. It's almost as if the ylang ylang has been turned up a notch in this bath bomb which clashes slightly with the other components. However, there is something about these different components that just work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While my description might seem rather negative, I actually happen to love the scent of <i>Santa's Grotto</i>. It's definitely not the smell you would expect from the name of the product, and I actually think it's shame that the name will prevent it from becoming a permanent feature in shops. Fans of outdoorsy types of smells will probably really appreciate this release. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Very quickly <i>Santa's Grotto</i> fills the tub with a stunning shade of </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">turquoise colour, with streams of mauve exploding from its centre to offer a wonderful visual </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">display.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once the bath bomb has fully dissolved, you're left with a gorgeous shade of water that features a light dash of silver lustre sparkling under the surface. Not only this but the inclusion of the salt makes the water extremely moisturising, and it only took a matter of minutes for me to notice a huge difference with the condition of my skin. In addition, the scent lingered throughout the whole experience and stayed on my skin for a good while afterwards. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is one of those bath bombs that offers you everything you could want: a strong, robust smell; a beautiful display of colour in the water; and nourishing qualities that will leave you feeling like a new person. While I think this bath bomb will divide the Lush community like Marmite does, I happen to think there is something rather special about this release, and I would love to experience this again before the end of the year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Whether it was because I'd only recently watched the </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">film with my class, or because the movie has been such a huge hit over the last couple of years, but when I first saw the design of this soap, it immediately reminded me of the Disney classic, Moana. And yes, <i>that</i> song popped straight into my head from that moment onwards and remained there for the rest of the day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Good Day Sunshine Soap</i> is one of two brand new soaps to have been added to the regular line recently: initially exclusives for Liverpool but obviously popular enough to have made it into the mainstream. Both <i>Good Day Sunshine </i>and <i>Michelle Ma Belle</i> also happen to be half of a four-piece soap collection influenced by the Beatles, and I only hope that I can get my hands on the other variations in the near future.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">

If there is one scent that will float your boat this summer, this fragrance is definitely it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Containing a strong dosage of both lemon, lime and neroli, this gorgeous soap offers a bright, fruity and very refreshing citrusy smell. Yet strangely, the smell that comes out the most here is one of fresh orange juice, with the other elements sitting directly underneath and adding spritzy, uplifting fruity base-notes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">What I loved the most about the smell of this soap however, was the heavy dosage of neroli that came forth as soon as I began using this in the shower. Although far more subtle in the bath bomb format, the green notes of the neroli really bring out a sharp tang to the citrusy notes, and together these ingredients create something that isn't far off the smell of a freshly peeled orange, with the outer skin still attached. <i>Good Day Sunshine</i> is super fresh and fruity and perhaps the perfect scent for the warmer weather that we are experiencing right now.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">What is unique about this piece of soap is that the yellow design on the surface has actually been dusted with sodium bicarbonate. This means that the first time you use this soap, the surface fizzes up like a bath bomb and the foam adds a slight tingle to your skin whilst you're washing your body. After the first time, there isn't much left to experience it again. However, it's a nice little touch that gives this soap something a little different to enjoy. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Lush's statement about this soap is: the dazzling orange, vegan aquafaba base offers notes of sparkling lemon myrtle, zesty lime and uplifting neroli to flip your mood sunny side up, while exfoliating chia seeds offer a delicate polish that leaves skin feeling soft and bright enough to rival the sun. While I wasn't able to see the chia seeds in action, my skin did feel really soft afterwards, so I assume that this was the work of the hidden ingredient. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNw_tm6IyO3eAAmqCE7FToMbfNbHRygnqyJnCjqGj_NgutfIeoIZC-5LeLRxeLDfdAM4FG4RhRPleQqGy2ko4lCS-o0J73GeYhCMAiYyh4lEh6xlI4QB91PWgjN0w1rAGho1dzIDvoMqo/s1600/IMG_2080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1207" data-original-width="1199" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNw_tm6IyO3eAAmqCE7FToMbfNbHRygnqyJnCjqGj_NgutfIeoIZC-5LeLRxeLDfdAM4FG4RhRPleQqGy2ko4lCS-o0J73GeYhCMAiYyh4lEh6xlI4QB91PWgjN0w1rAGho1dzIDvoMqo/s320/IMG_2080.jpg" width="317" /></a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">What I will say about <i>Good Day Sunshine</i> is that the soap tends to lather up really well the first time but then tends to only produce a sort of thin, orange liquid consecutive uses afterwards. This is not a soap that foams up all that easily. Having said that, I found that the orange 'lather' was very easy to spread across my body and I didn't need to massage the soap for more than a few seconds to produce enough 'soap' to apply to my entire body.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">This meant that I was able to place <i>Good Day Sunshine</i> away from the water fairly quickly and preserve as much of the soap as I possibly could. As the soap dried in a fairly moderate amount of time, my piece barely shrunk after using it for a week straight and I can safely say that this should last as long as a regular piece of soap would. Despite this, if you're someone who is less conscious of how much you're using, you may find that this soap shrinks a lot quicker than regular soaps, and this is when the £7 price tag may seem a little excessive.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Once I had rinsed the suds from my skin and relished in the delicious fruity smell that had engulfed my entire bathroom, I was really impressed to discover that the fragrance of this soap also lingered on my skin quite heavily. After towelling myself down, I was able to detect both the fruity element and the green-like undertone quite strongly on my body and my hair, and this stayed with me for a good couple of hours afterwards. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">As if this wasn't enough, my skin also felt really soft and smooth and refreshed, and there was a radiance across my hands and legs that I associate with all of the wonderful citrus oils that are present in the ingredients. If anything, using <i>Good Day Sunshine</i> just reaffirmed why <i>Cheer Up Buttercup</i> is one of my all-time favourite bath bombs, and why I love this scent an awful lot.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">While I am grateful that Lush have brought this out as a regular item, it does make me wish that the company would bring out a shower gel, body lotion or body spray in the same fragrance, as that would be simply sublime. Inspired by an iconic band, this soap had a lot to live up to and I honestly think that they have matched that expectation perfectly. This is a wonderful addition to any bathroom and I shall be using this all summer to match the sunshine outside.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When Lush first introduced the term 'shower bomb', I was rather skeptical about whether or not this concept held any worth in the cosmetics industry. Was there any merits to using such a short-life product or would this be another temporary craze that disappeared into obscurity within a few months? As time have passed by and my experience with these little beauties has multiplied, it is safe to say that I am now completely on board with what Lush next have to offer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Comfort Zone Shower Bomb</i> is a cute little cylinder (that I believe is supposed to represent a blanket) with multiple meanings behind its name. Not only does the title reference how comforting the smell of the product is when in use, but both the ingredients and the name itself also hint at the more political issue of climate change. As Lush have stated on their website: </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Does the currant climate leave you feeling berry insecure? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

Featuring blackcurrant absolute and fresh raspberries in the ingredients list, there's no wonder that consumers are finding this berrylicious creation so gorgeous: I certainly have.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A classic scent that has been around for years, <i>The Comforter</i> is a warm, sweet and very fruity aroma. While I would describe the fragrance of this shower bomb to be very berry-like overall, it is the blackcurrant that makes the biggest impression here: creating a deliciously sultry and yet very playful aroma, while the cypress oil adds a layer of soothing sweetness to calm you down and round the fragrance off perfectly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">To my nose, </span><i style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Comfort Zone</i><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> is perhaps a little lighter and fruitier than the original bubble bar and definitely appears to have a stronger scent as well. When using this in the shower, my senses were completely flooded with the aroma; the smell remained on my skin for hours; and the fragrance lingered quite heavily in the bathroom for a very long time.</span></div>

The heat of the water will then help to release the different essential oils that have gone into making the bomb, which is supposed to help alter your mood depending on the purpose of the shower bomb itself. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In this case, <i>Comfort Zone </i>is designed to help calm your mind and bring you some peace during times when you perhaps feel a little overwhelmed with everything. This shower bomb will offer you the biggest cuddle in the shower and its fragrance will hold you tight for hours afterwards as well, which is the perfect remedy at the end of a long day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once the shower bomb has began creating its foam, the idea is that you can lather and massage this across the skin much like you would a shower gel. The inclusion of both the potato starch and the sodium alginate allow the bomb to soften and moisture the skin, while the different oils clean out the pores and leave your skin looking and smelling rather delicious. Furthermore, the inclusion of the chia seeds in <i>Comfort Zone</i>, which you can spot when the shower bomb begins to dissolve under the water, gives this product a soft, gel-like consistency that only serves to make your skin feel even softer when in use. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you're someone like me who was worried at first that the inclusion of the sodium bicarbonate and citric acid will irritate your skin, I can assure you that this is not the case at all. In fact, my only piece of advice when using this is to ensure that you haven't shaved after applying this to the skin, as some of Lush's shower bombs can sting a little because of the open pores. Having said that, I didn't experience this at all when using this shower bomb in particular, so it was another added bonus on top of everything else.</span></div>

Furthermore, I was able to clean my entire body, from head to foot, and still have product left over afterwards. Because of this, it would be completely reasonable to cut one of these shower bombs in half and use them across two, perhaps even three showers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As with all of Lush's recent shower bomb releases, <i>Comfort Zone</i> not only left my skin feeling really smooth and clean </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">but the scent lingered for an impressive amount of time afterwards. Despite there not being much of a difference between the smell of this and other<i> Comforter</i>-scented products, I found myself appreciating the scent of this far more than I expected to. This is definitely a shower bomb I would purchase again and I am so glad it has made it into the regular line.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After a scorching hot day out in the sun, it felt rather strange to be coming home to bathe with a Christmas tree. In fact, it's been so hot these last few days that it feels strange even running myself a bath when the weather is so sticky outside. Alas, I was determined to get myself on top of the reviews I had planned to do and the only bath product I had leftmost happened to be a seasonal one. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In nearly every one of my reviews of these seasonal bath melt tablets, I have explained how little press they received, not to mention how little time they were made available on the website. For this reason, I am probably one of only a handful of lucky people who were able to get their hands on these limited editions, which is a real shame.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGlCpjN6VUi-yNCGl4JKDohkUjEd3Owa99GAYTbKb7QfjpGinGvT2StDpvVi68eRuMhKFfe8gZevUGU7qNwdDJ0hu39RU9bdByNXz4LN1uU0auGJ8Po5p96fXvU0fvyNqtD5yo7x4ZcSw/s1600/IMG_2082.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1219" data-original-width="1212" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGlCpjN6VUi-yNCGl4JKDohkUjEd3Owa99GAYTbKb7QfjpGinGvT2StDpvVi68eRuMhKFfe8gZevUGU7qNwdDJ0hu39RU9bdByNXz4LN1uU0auGJ8Po5p96fXvU0fvyNqtD5yo7x4ZcSw/s320/IMG_2082.jpg" width="318" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Retro Tree Bath Melt Tablet</i> couldn't be any more festive-like if it tried. Sporting a cream base with an orange and green-striped Christmas tree on the front, this limited edition was designed as both a decoration to hang on your tree and a companion for the bath as well. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">About </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">9cm in width, 6cm wide and about 5mm thick, this seasonal special</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> also offered a gentle scent that didn't exactly fill the room, but did make an impression if you were sitting close enough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sharing its scent with the <i>Floating Island Bath Melt</i>, this particular tablet offers a rich but very gentle aroma: one that presents both a creamy vanilla note and a warming, woody one as well. The tablet smells very much like a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream combined with a subtle woody twist that grounds the overall fragrance a little.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><i style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Retro Tree</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">is sold as a single product, there is not really any need to place the whole tablet into the bath in one go. Cutting the melt in half or even quarters will still offer a really moisturising bath for your skin and you'll still be able to smell the wonderful aroma throughout the whole experience. In fact, you actually run the risk of creating a mess around the tub if you include the whole tablet at once, as the oils and butters don't all tend to dissolve into the water and they stick to the sides instead. Furthermore, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would also recommend that if you're going to use the tablet across multiple baths, it is better to break it into pieces whilst its dry than having to hang and store the used tablet once it's been placed in the water. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As with nearly all of Lush's bath melts, <i>Retro Tree didn't exactly put on much of a show in the water. </i></span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The bath melt floated on the surface whilst it slowly dissolved and sent out little splodges of beige-coloured oil into the water, which seemed to disappear fairly quickly and give the water a slightly creamy tinge. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span>

I think if you simply waited for the bath tablet to melt by itself, you'd probably be in the tub for a matter of hours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once the tablet had fully melted, I found that the water was left with next to no colour all, which didn't exactly inspire the most exciting of reactions from myself. However, I had to remind myself that it was indeed a bath melt as opposed to a bath bomb, so it shouldn't be tarnished for doing something it's not designed to do. It did however make an immediate impression on my skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Within seconds of submerging myself beneath the water, my skin felt super silky-soft and smooth: as if there was a thin protective layer that was coating my skin and replenishing my body in record speed. My hands and legs took on an almost shiny form during the experience and I could still feel ow supple velvety they felt after I had towelled myself down. This is definitely a bath tablet that goes above and beyond what it's supposed to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">While the fragrance was present during my time in the bath, I wasn't really able to detect it that well, and whenever I used another product this tended to thwart the aroma altogether. Afterwards, I wasn't surprised to find that the scent barely lingered on my skin much at all and I wasn't able to smell it anymore some twenty minutes after I had exited the bathroom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">If you're looking for a product that is going to offer you a good show in the bath; present you with a strong aroma to enjoy whilst bathing; and linger on your skin afterwards, this bath melt is probably not the best choice to go for. However, if your skin is in need of some serious nourishment and you're happy to couple a chunk of this alongside another product, this is one you should seek out and try. It's definitely better value than the small bath oil you can buy as a regular item!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Despite being in the house by myself, the urge to have a one-person party was incredibly tempting after I found myself close to finishing this review. After nearly a month of constantly blogging and twenty different tooth/mouthwash tabs to work my way through, to have finished them all was a feeling worth celebrating, in my eyes. While these weren't my favourite mouthwash tabs by any means,<i> Zephyrus</i> were definitely a good choice to end up with last. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjssZxdKp5KCq_5PZjEC_9ISr6BJhcBqW0wl25uYMIeFkqO79n3_30xK632o8ICRSezgOIW1Rl4LEEfr_yzQQvJh1pnUG4LtD022xK_MQtRP7PaXkvZLoJ0NTQlrMm_zLLbngvGm6uIZg0/s1600/IMG_2020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1131" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjssZxdKp5KCq_5PZjEC_9ISr6BJhcBqW0wl25uYMIeFkqO79n3_30xK632o8ICRSezgOIW1Rl4LEEfr_yzQQvJh1pnUG4LtD022xK_MQtRP7PaXkvZLoJ0NTQlrMm_zLLbngvGm6uIZg0/s320/IMG_2020.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Having already experienced the intensity of <i>Supherb Toothy Tabs</i>, I mistakenly left these little mouthwash tabs to last, only because they were a similar colour and therefore (I thought) a similar flavour. As it turned out, these mouthwash tabs couldn't have been further from the taste of the aforementioned toothy tabs and what I was left to finish with was something super fresh and naturally very beautiful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Containing Sicilian lemon and basil oils, the little green diamonds give off a wonderfully rich herbal smell, with a big dosage of lemon that rounds the fragrance off with a big bang. To my nose, the smell reminds me of a fresh lemonade that's been packed full of fresh basil leaves: it's crisp, refreshing and utterly gorgeous!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">When popping one of these into your mouth, it takes mere seconds for a very intense but equally beautiful flavour to engulf your senses. The lemon oil brings about a bright, fruity element to the taste, which for a second or so is slightly bitter before it sweetens and settles in your mouth. Alongside this, the fresh taste of basil wraps around your tongue and offers a very natural herbal taste that compliments the lemon perfectly. I would never have envisaged that these two components would work well together as a mouthwash but they do, and they leave your mouth feeling really clean and fresh on top of this.</span><br />

Once you've finished, you then spit the water into the sink and your whole mouth should feel super clean and refreshed: ready to brace the rest of the day without worrying about smelly breath or food from your lunch remaining stuck between your teeth. It's recommended that you keep the mouthwash in your mouth for a good minute. This allows the ingredients to get to work at cleaning the mouth and deodorising the tongue so you get the maximum results possible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As you would expect from Lush, the ingredients that have gone into making all three of the mouthwash varieties have also been carefully crafted and serve a purpose. Firstly, they all contain sodium bicarbonate, which is a natural softening ingredient that is also known for its ability to clean and deodorise at the same time. This is a key component that will help to clean your tongue, gums and teeth when you're swishing, and will help to rid your mouth of any strong odours that might be present at the time, freshening your breath in the process.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Each of the mouthwashes also contains xylitol - a natural substance that is found in certain fruits and vegetables and is used in foods and cosmetics as a refined sweetener. This ingredient has been proven to cause none of the harmful effects that sugar can have on the teeth, is perfect for diabetics as it doesn't effect blood sugar levels at all, yet offers the sweetness to help give these tabs their interesting but enjoyable flavours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKs86BL_277zmZm9qhiD5TJPjiR43zSDBkwQ7msTifGbm8qXtv4-AvpJWFAjF_X6qWA2v_zgFHNuUVvraBYpsQ1572Y6RTYyaSsJ1bdEMy7w8XYnavdpuVhPFJNd6JdkjgaEMol0Dy3O8/s1600/IMG_2023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1211" data-original-width="1242" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKs86BL_277zmZm9qhiD5TJPjiR43zSDBkwQ7msTifGbm8qXtv4-AvpJWFAjF_X6qWA2v_zgFHNuUVvraBYpsQ1572Y6RTYyaSsJ1bdEMy7w8XYnavdpuVhPFJNd6JdkjgaEMol0Dy3O8/s320/IMG_2023.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes Lush surprise me with their pairings and I honestly couldn't get enough of the <i>Zephyrus Mouthwash Tabs</i>. They clean your mouth out thoroughly, without burning your tongue or bringing about too much flavour; they leave your teeth feeling really shiny and clean; and they leave you with the cleanest breath I have experienced in a while.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Ultimately, these are definitely one of my favourite combinations from Lush and I would buy these again if I ever ran out. Perfect for the summer months, these little beauties would be great to slip in your bag when you're out enjoying a picnic. Not only would they leave your mouth and breath feeling super clean, but they wouldn't take away from the fresh feast you were enjoying at the time. <i>Zephyrus</i> are one of my favourite mouthwash tabs that Lush have ever created and they need to be made available for everybody.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">There are certain Lush scents that spark much more of an interest than others: products and fragrances that have somehow earned a level of status that automatically makes consumers more invested in them than some of their (often better) counterparts. The <i>Twilight/Sleepy</i> scent family is one of those royal bundles, and when these mouthwash tabs first made themselves known, there was a big demand for them to be made widely available as soon as possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">However, from the very second I opened my bottle of <i>Sleepy Pill</i>, I realised that something was terribly wrong: these mouthwash tabs didn't share the scent of <i>Twilight</i> or <i>Sleepy</i>, and they certainly didn't taste anything like they did either. Under the assumption that they were the same fragrance as the popular body lotion and shower gel, Lush fans had been scrambling after an item that didn't even hold their favourite scent. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD2iVEmY0k-SsJQWD18x_Hmmy7TBT-8KgeJ3QaMA-43byYK3mfF6AfGqTZGzaCMecHEYM4zhNZ2IfcErx2Bapx34Uk0f9eSWIAoAyEH3C3AFg2wnigG5PTNnDQxnqS4ot8Pm6ucmdE_gk/s1600/IMG_2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1147" data-original-width="1242" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD2iVEmY0k-SsJQWD18x_Hmmy7TBT-8KgeJ3QaMA-43byYK3mfF6AfGqTZGzaCMecHEYM4zhNZ2IfcErx2Bapx34Uk0f9eSWIAoAyEH3C3AFg2wnigG5PTNnDQxnqS4ot8Pm6ucmdE_gk/s320/IMG_2013.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">What I will say about<i> Sleepy Pill</i> is that the intensity of flavours here is definitely potent enough that the tabs will do the very opposite of putting you to sleep. In fact, the very first time I used one of these, I almost had to spit the tab out into the sink: the flavour was far stronger than I had initially envisaged it to be and it took me by surprise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Containing lavender and fennel oil as the leading ingredients, the smell of these mouthwash tabs are a strong and very robust herbal aroma. Imagine having a fresh bundle of lavender tied tightly around your nose and you may begin to understand what Sleepy Pill smells like. It's naturally sweet and floral, yet there is also an underlying sharpness from the fennel oil that plays on these components and intensifies the smell.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">When popping one of these into your mouth, it takes mere seconds for a very intense taste to develop and you may need to brace yourself for this. Imagine being made to bite down on some fresh lavender and what that would taste like, and you have now probably understood exactly what these tabs have to offer. Along with the fennel oil, which serves to intensify the taste and add a cool, refreshing twist, <i>Sleepy Pill </i>uses nature's finest to completely clean and overhaul your mouth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">To use a solid mouth wash tab, you simply crunch the tab between your teeth, take a slurp of water and begin swishing.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The intensity of <i>Sleepy Pill Mouthwash Tabs</i> immediately cleared my palette, cleaned my tongue and left my whole mouth feeling squeaky clean. The dinner I had finished eating mere minutes before had been completely banished from my tastebuds and instead it had been replaced with a herbal combination of both lavender and fennel, which was strangely comforting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While not a flavour I would initially been all that excited about, I actually enjoyed how natural they tasted and how clean my mouth felt after using one of these tabs. I can imagine that <i>Sleepy Pill Mouthwash Tabs </i>will still be super popular, even though they don't pertain the same aroma as the best selling body lotion. In fact, I'll be honest and say that I think these work better than what I imagine an actual <i>Twilight</i>-tasting mouthwash tab would do. I guess Lush do know best after all? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Ever since <i>Golden Pear</i> appeared a few Christmases ago, the Lush community have become obsessed with anything and everything that shares the same scent. Bath bombs, shower jellies and body sprays are just three of the wonderful creations that have been brought about because of the popularity of this fragrance. So it was only natural that the company would incorporate this excitement into one of their latest mouthwash tabs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Perhaps the prettiest of the lot, <i>Golden Pear Mouthwash Tabs </i>present themselves as little golden diamonds dusted with golden lustre, a feature that I should probably mention doesn't leave your mouth or teeth in the slightest bit glittery. Apologies for any readers that may have wanted their mouths to mimic a handful of golden nuggets: you're going to have to take up that issue with Lush themselves! </span><br />

The words 'warm' and comforting are the perfect adjectives to describe these little beauties because they offer exactly that...and more! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">From the bottle, the familiar scent of <i>Golden Pear Shower Jelly </i>can be recognised immediately. A blend of orange oil, cardamom and sandalwood, the fragrance is a rich and very wholesome fruity aroma with the sandalwood wrapping itself around the orange like a warming blanket. The inclusion of both cardamom powder and oil also makes a huge impression on the scent: you can smell that intoxifying and very unique spice alongside the other elements, which mimics the fragrance of other <i>Golden Pear</i> scented products perfectly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">While this may not be helpful, I want to state that these mouthwash tabs taste exactly as you would expect them to. Fans of<i> Golden Pear</i> have no doubt fantasied about an edible rendition of their favourite scent and these mouthwash tabs do the perfect job at making this possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Slightly fruity, slightly woody and with a twist of warming cardamom, these mouthwash tabs taste like adult candy. The sandalwood really pairs well with the orange here, grounding it a little and removing some of the 'tang' that it possesses, and instead offers a taste that is very wholesome and comforting. Furthermore, the different complexities of these tabs overload your tastebuds with a beautifully rich, multi-dimensional flavour that sticks around for a long time after you've swished.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">While there is nothing in the ingredients list to suggest why, there is also something very slightly Turkish delight-tasting about these tabs, which I happened to really appreciate and didn't think took away from the <i>Golden Pear</i> smell/taste at all. Ultimately, they're both rich and exquisite when being used, and everything you would hope them to be if you're a fan of this scent family.</span><br />

Once you've finished, you then spit the water into the sink and your whole mouth should feel super clean and refreshed: ready to brace the rest of the day without worrying about smelly breath or food from your lunch remaining stuck between your teeth. It's recommended that you keep the mouthwash in your mouth for a good minute. This allows the ingredients to get to work at cleaning the mouth and deodorising the tongue so you get the maximum results possible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As you would expect from Lush, the ingredients that have gone into making all three of the mouthwash varieties have also been carefully crafted and serve a purpose. Firstly, they all contain sodium bicarbonate, which is a natural softening ingredient that is also known for its ability to clean and deodorise at the same time. This is a key component that will help to clean your tongue, gums and teeth when you're swishing, and will help to rid your mouth of any strong odours that might be present at the time, freshening your breath in the process.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Each of the mouthwashes also contains xylitol - a natural substance that is found in certain fruits and vegetables and is used in foods and cosmetics as a refined sweetener. This ingredient has been proven to cause none of the harmful effects that sugar can have on the teeth, is perfect for diabetics as it doesn't effect blood sugar levels at all, yet offers the sweetness to help give these tabs their interesting but enjoyable flavours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Golden Pear Mouthwash Tabs</i> immediately cleared my palette when I began to swish it around my mouth, and my teeth, tongue and gums were left feeling really smooth and clean afterwards. Even though they have a lot to offer in the way of flavour, they're definitely not the strongest mouthwash tabs available on the market. Yet, after using one, I felt confident that the smells of the food I had just eaten had been fully removed and the taste of the tab remained with me for an impressive amount of time afterwards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To really test how powerful <i>Golden Pear Mouthwash Tabs</i> were, I used one of them straight after eating a meal that was absolutely saturated in a garlic dressing. Not only did the garlic all but vanish from my mouth within the first minute of swishing but the odd grimy feeling that I had on my teeth beforehand disappeared as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These are definitely a mouthwash tab that I would buy again in the future; that's if I ever manage to get through my impressive stash of ten bottles that I currently own. Fans of <i>Golden Pear</i> will not be able to fault these at all, and those who like interesting tastes will no doubt appreciate how wonderfully rich and exquisite these little golden diamonds are. Well done Lush!</span><br />
