LUSH Christmas Haul

LUSH is always the perfect place to go if you're looking for a nice pampering treat, but at Christmas time everything somehow gets better. Out come the limited edition items we wait for all year, the festive scents, the novelty bath bombs and my Christmas LUSH haul has become an annual event.

I actually made this order online, which in some ways takes away from the fun of smelling all the different bath bombs and choosing the best ones to take home with me, but I chose to do this just so I could buy the new limited edition SNOW FAIRY perfume! As soon as I read about this being released I was on the LUSH website and had it added to my basket within 30 seconds. Snow Fairy for me is the scent of Christmas, and my absolute favourite LUSH fragrance so I just had to buy it. If you haven't smelt Snow Fairy before, it is very sugary and sweet. Its a blend of candy-floss and pear drops designed to ignite childhood memories and sweetshop nostalgia. LUSH have released 5 limited edition scents in total so if Snow Fairy isn't your thing, I'm sure there will be something for you. The only downside is, they are only available online so you can't give them a sniff before parting with your pennies. This would make the PERFECT Christmas present for any Snow Fairy fans out there, and it retails at £25 for 30ml. 

The next thing I added to my basket was the Santa's Lip Scrub which is like any other LUSH lip scrub, but this one is cola flavoured! I adore LUSH lip scrubs but I felt like I needed a change from my much loved bubblegum flavoured scrub and this is just perfect. You basically just rub this into the lips and it removes all dead skin and flakiness and leaves your lips feeling lovely and smooth. Even better is the fact that you can lick it off your lips as it just takes like cola sugar! This scrub costs £5.50 and will last forever so it's a great investment!

Now a LUSH haul would not be complete without some bath bombs. I'm not really a bath kinda person, I much prefer my morning showers, but in winter that does all change and an evening bath is the perfect thing to send me to sleep. Because it's not often I have baths I do like to really treat myself when I do and this is where LUSH comes in. I picked up a few of the limited edition Christmas items to make my baths a real pampering treat!




Shoot for the Stars is one of the classic fizzing ball bath bombs featuring beautiful colours that will transfer into your bathwater. This has the same fragrance as the much loved Honey I Shrunk the Kids Soap but I really just bought it because I loved the star design! I cannot wait to use it and watch it turn my bath into the colours of the night sky! This bath bomb costs £3.25









The Melting Snowman was the bargain price of £2.25 and he was just too adorable not to buy. He is a bath melt which means he includes lots of lovely oils to make your skin feel super soft! The featured ingredient is Almond Oil and you can really smell that coming through which I love. It will be sad watching his little face melt away but it will totally be worth it!










I also bought this Luxury Lush Pud which again is a bath bomb scented with soothing lavender making it the perfect product for a relaxing bedtime bath. It is also decorated in these beautiful pastel colours which will make the bathwater turn into a really beautiful colour. This has the same fragrance as the Twilight bath bomb which is available all year round. This bath bomb costs £3.40

And the last product I have to show you is the most adorable of all...The Christmas Penguin! Now I just LOVE penguins so I would have bought this no matter what it smelled like, but thankfully it smells as good as it looks! This is a bubble bar which as the name suggests will fill your bath with a mountain of bubbles! It has a blend of mandarin and lemon oil and just smells so refreshing I cannot wait to use it in my bath! This little guy costs only £2.95

And there you have my LUSH haul! If you have any recommendations of products from LUSH you think I should try let me know in the comments below!
