BATH | Lush Easter Collection

I think Easter has to be my second favourite time of the year (after Christmas) when it comes to bath bomb goodies from Lush! It is specifically "eggs" that I enjoy as every year there seems to be a more and more creative way of incorporating them into "tub life". Don't get me wrong, I love bunnies too, but I always feel like eggs hold the cutest surprises hehe!

BATH | Just a Fraction of the Lush Christmas Collection

It's a shame I didn't make it to the Lush store before I shot these photos because what started out as a fraction of products sent by PR has become a more "well-rounded" collection via "Jayne going to the mall on her lunch break" as of yesterday afternoon! I just couldn't resist and I don't think I am alone when I say that the Lush Christmas Collection is always a tough one to resist whether it's for yourself or for gifts! This year did not disappoint so let's dive right into bath bomb bubbly goodness!

VALENTINE'S | Lush Valentine's Day Collection

It's that time of year again where you can't go out for dinner on Valentine's Day because all the restaurants are packed so if you are an old married couple like myself and KC, I will be making dinner at home and HE will be getting me jewelry LOL! I think after awhile you just want to spend time at home relaxing with people you love. I don't even know how to segue into the bath concoctions Lush has released this year because this year's collection is a little racy! All I can say is Lush, you make a girthy eggplant!

BATH | Lush Mother's Day 2018 Collection

How is it coming up to the middle of May? Once it hits June, it will be the summer and then half a year would have gone by! I STILL have stuff from December that I want to blog about that feels recent...tell me I'm not the only that is still trying to get organized! While I was fumbling my way through filing my taxes last month (filed on April 29th!), I realized that there was something special about May and that was Mother's Day! Lush has again blown it out of the water when it comes to new and sweet-smelling things so let's dive in!

BATH & BODY | The Lush Valentine's Day Collection

I said on Twitter that I would focus less on Valentine's Day posts and more on Asian brands with the exception of Lush. I cannot say no to their seasonal collections and I feel like this year there are so many new things that even those who are boycotting Valentine's would have to pick up just for the sake of cuteness!

HOLIDAY | My Favourites from the Wonderful World of Lush Christmas

Well, Christmas has come and gone and I tried so hard to get this Lush post up and running before the 25th, but I honestly woke up and stayed in a sort of groggy trance the whole day as I was just so exhausted. It was good to take it easy, but I did feel sad not sharing these Lush goodies with you all even though I am sure many of you stocked up leading up to the holiday and then AGAIN during Lush's annual BOGO sale on Boxing Day! I have done the 6am PST shopping trip before and decided this year that I really DO have enough bath products, but maybe some of you picked up these Lush delights that caught my eye when I was in store a few weeks ago!

HALLOWEEN | New Lush Goodies!

I actually tried really hard to get more of the Lush Halloween Collection, but certain things were sold out everytime I went in which just goes to show how popular certain items were! The new Jelly Bombs were sold out and I managed to get the Snow Fairy one for the holidays, but sadly not the Halloween ones. This year, the classics are back (reviews here), but I've also got some new items to share!

BATH & BODY | Treat Mom to Some Lush Mother's Day Goodies!

Some of the most fun posts for me to write are the Lush ones because I feel like a child again just rambling on about bath time, colours and bubbles. There is something liberating about using whimsical bath bombs as an adult like having waffles or ice cream for dinner - it's because you damn well can! This year, Lush's Mother's Day launches seem more appealing to everyone instead of the more floral scents that are typically released. With fun animals, scents and colours, my tub is going to be a psychedelic masterpiece for the next few weeks!

BATH & BODY | New and Old Favourites from the Lush Christmas Collection!

It is seriously taking all of my willpower NOT to order more from the Lush Christmas collection. There are so many new additions that are SO CUTE! I have put myself on a slight no-buy as my place has far too many holiday goodies in it already that will probably take me until June to finish! I may wait until Lush's annual Boxing Day sale to score a few things, but waking up at 6am just REALLY SUCKS so we shall see!

This year Lush has not let us down with the number of new and fun products to try so hopefully I can help you to narrow down what you should be picking up as shopping at Lush can be overwhelming if you don't know where to begin!

BATH & BODY | Celebrating Valentine's Day with a Bit of a #LushCrush!

A couple of lovely Lush products showed up on my doorstep about 2 weeks ago and like most Lushies (can I call myself that now?) I had to open and smell/slather everything on right away! As always, there are a few new additions to Lush's limited edition Valentine's Day collection as well as some old classics.


BATH & BODY | Lush "Secret Santa" Gift Box

Back in November, Lush held their holiday media party at the West 4th, Kitsilano location where we got an inside look at how fresh face masks and bath bombs were made. On top of making my own Stardust bath bomb we were also allowed to select a gift to place under the tree. Obviously, I did not wait until Christmas to open my Secret Santa Gift Box* ($18.95 CDN) because you all need to know what's in here!


I chose this gift box mainly because I love the reusable "gift wrap" and the print is so festive and cute! Inside is the Dashing Santa* ($5.95 CDN) bath bomb scented with mandarin and bergamot oil. I just used this last night and his golden shimmery boots make him spin around when you place flat in the tub! It is truly a hoot and a half!
 

Next up is the Peeping Santa Bubble Bar* ($6.95 CDN) which is scented with strawberry and made with hand-churned shea butter and cocoa butter. Lush bubble bars are always so creamy and always leave my skin soft. My Peeping Santa fell apart in transit and actually has only one eye making him QUITE the peeper.

There is more Lush goodness to come, but have you had a chance to relax with some goodies from Lush this holiday season?

BATH & BODY | New for Mother’s Day with LUSH!

It’s that time again! I missed out on Easter, but I’m just in time to share with you all a few Mother’s Day bath time goodies! Mother’s Day at Lush isn’t necessarily the cutest time of year, but it sure is the sweetest in terms of sentiment.  Also, if you are a fan of florals there are a number of options sure to delight the senses and make mom VERY happy!

Lush Mothers Day 2015 Review

Let’s Make Some Noise and Welcome 2015 with the Loudest Bath Bombs from LUSH!

It’s New Year’s Eve ya’ll and Lush has got some of the brightest, loudest products to help ring in the new year! 

Lush Holiday 2014

There is nothing like a brilliant fireworks display that signals a fresh start, but we all can’t afford fanciful pyrotechnics, so why not have a little show in your tub? With the Sparkler*($5.95 CDN) and Northern Lights*($6.95 CDN) and their colourful, crackling, scented explosions of Rose Jam and jasmine and ylang ylang, this duo will light up the night! You can see that Northern Lights even has little stars that pepper your bathwater. Adorable!

Or how about makin’ some actual noise during your NYE party with the reusable Drummers Drumming Bubble Bar*($9.95 CDN) which has actual bells attached to its strawberry-scented bubbly goodness. I don’t have to tell you all that this smells AMAZING.

Of course no celebration is complete with a good, hearty drink that will leave you feeling cozy and satisfied like with one of my Holiday favourites – Hot Toddy Shower Gel*($9.95 CDN) scented with spicy cinnamon and ginger.  

Have a SAFE, fun-filled night everyone! I’ll see you next year!

Bath Time with the Lush Cosmetics Wizard Bubble Bar

That last week before Halloween was a bit of a gong show for me, but thank God for uplifting scents and loads of bubbles from Lush’s Wizard Bubble Bath Bar ($7.95 CDN)! I don’t know what I’d do without that time to myself. I just love this little wizard’s eyes. They seem so childlike and cartoony and he’s (I’m guessing it’s a HE?) even a little shimmery. This bubble bar is a blend of tangerine, juniper berry and fennel essential oils which is what I would call a “warm citrus” scent.

The bathwater becomes a bright purple-pink and look at all those bubbles! I will admit that I may have created a bubble bikini at some point during my bath…

There are still more of this Halloween release online so if you can’t resist his little face, take him home now!

LUSH Halloween 2014 | Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar (Leaves You Feeling AND Looking Glittery!)

It’s not Halloween until Lush releases their limited edition collection of bubble bars and bath bombs beginning with the Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar ($7.95 CDN). A blend of juniperberry, grapefruit and lime oils make this bubble bar smell like a fruity drink I want poolside. This pumpkin is also slathered in gold glitter making this a bitch to photograph without getting glitter everywhere, BUT it is nothing short of magical having your bathwater literally shimmering with gold glitter. I honestly felt like a twinkling star.

I used a whole bubble bar as I am usually quite frugal, but I wanted glitter EVERYWHERE. Like, Ke$ha style. The bathwater becomes a happy Fall orange filled with many bubbles. I cranked up my water pressure as I was going for a bit of a “bubble fort”. I was able to build a small tower before calling it a day.

I’ve got a few more Lush Halloween goodies to share, but this sparkly bubble bar is among one of my favourites! What are your favourite Lush collections?

*Mother’s Day* Lush | The Mum

I mentioned giving roses in my last Lush post, but how about some mums? Lush’s The Mum Reusable Bubble Bar Wand ($8.95) is one of the sweetest things I have ever seen and I feel like I just keep saying that over and over when it comes to Lush items!

Simply hold under running water for a trail of deliciously fragranced bubbles. Mum: this bright and cheerful yellow flower has the same sweet caramel fragrance as Lush’s global bestseller, Honey I Washed The Kids soap.

*Mother’s Day* Lush | Rose Bubble Bar

What mother doesn’t love a bouquet of roses, let alone ones that smell amazing and can accompany you to the bath! The Lush Rose Bubble Bar ($4.95) is very softly fragranced and is a bubble bar I found to be quite creamy.

This beautifully crafted bubble bar will instantly transform mum’s bath time experience into a rose filled voyage through a mountain of skin softening bubbles. Rosehip oil and cocoa butter grated into the mixture provide the softening properties; while rose and lemon provide the fragrance. We’ve added cornstarch to the mix so you get a more condensed bar that can be broken in half and used over two baths.  Or you can use the whole things for masses of creamy, softening bubbles.

It is on the smaller side so I used the whole bar for one bath. As you can see, it also leaves you with very light pink bathwater that made me feel like a total girly girl! I did not think I would enjoy this scent because I am not normally a floral person, but this bubble bar was so soft and just “blushing’ with scent that I couldn’t help but enjoy it. I couldn’t smell the lemon really, more just the rosehip oil, but I didn’t mind at all! So, this year give your mom a bouquet of roses. Bubble bar style!

*Mother’s Day* Lush | Wonder Woohoo Bubble Bar

Glitter. I don’t think I will ever tire of it and I’m sure any mother will appreciate a bubble bar inspired by Wonder Woman! I may not be a mom, but all I know is that having children takes a certain sacrifice so let’s celebrate those special women in our lives Lush-style with the Wonder Woman Woohoo Bubble Bar ($6.95).

Inspired by Wonder Woman and created for wonder women! Mums can channel their inner superhero when using this bubble bar, covered in gold sparkle to replicate Wonder Woman’s gold tiara! Packed full of sandalwood and Brazilian orange oil from our best selling Gorilla Perfume, The Sun,Wonder Woohoo is ideal for overworked super mums in need of a little time to recharge and rejuvenate.

This was enough for 2 baths for me, but I think to get sparkly golden bathwater you need to crumble the entire bar. I just used half and the bubbles were already pretty outta control and yet my bathwater was still clear. This scent is totally up my alley as I adore citrus and more energizing scents so having it smell like Brazilian orange was perfect! This bubble bar left a glitter ring once I drained the tub, so be sure to scrub afterwards!

*Mother’s Day* Lush | Mumkin Bubble Bar

Mother’s Day is in exactly one week and leave it to Lush to once again come out with the cutest, most wonderful-scented products to give to one of the most important women in your life! Today I have the Mumkin Bubble Bar ($6.95) which is a fan favourite from last year and I can see why! She is the cutest little pink creation and I love her bright orange “leaves”.

Mumkins are cute, friendly and love to be crumbled under the tap to bring you mountains of fruity bubbles. Each Mumkin smells of raspberries with bergamot, lemon and violet leaf oils to brighten your day. Chocolate drops for eyes and a candy stalk stick make these the most adorable bars we've ever crumbled into our tubs. Made just for Mums on Mother's Day, but irresistible to everyone else!

Mumkin smells fruity, but not in an overly sweet way. It almost smells slightly floral as well. According to the product description, this bubble bar is meant to turn bathwater into a lovely deep pink, but it definitely wasn’t that colour for me. It was more of a dark orange that didn’t look too appealing on camera despite the bubbles and how good everything smelled! I tried crumbling Mumkin, but realized I wanted ALL THE BUBBLES so I just dunked the whole thing under running water and got ready to relax. This is the perfect gift for mom or really anyone who likes a more subdued fruity scent.

All Lush Mother’s Day items are limited time so be sure to pick something up for Mom this week!

Lush | Easter 2014 Bunch of Carrots Bubble Bar Review

You all have seen that I am huge supporter of reusable products and this Easter, Lush has come out with a reusable bubble bar with the Bunch of Carrots ($12.95)! At first it seems like $12.95 is a lot to spend on bubbles, but when you realize that you can get at least 7 baths out of this trio (there really are three carrots, but I have used up two!), it seems well worth the money.
