Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb



This bomb is passionate.  The scent is intoxicating.  Let me tell you, it does the trick.  It is beautiful and romantic.  It will buy you seven dried pink rosebuds and draw you a bath.  I would marry it.  This bomb smells like pure rose and powder.  Which is explained in that it contains rose absolute and orris root powder.  Simply put....this is vintage romance in a heart shaped bath bomb.  When dropped in the water, it fizzes out very quickly, depositing seven beautiful rosebuds into the water.

Seven roses represent starting positively to end positivley.  It is said that Cleopatra would seduce Anothony with the rose from this bomb.  Now I truly understand her powers.  I'm sure she had a steady supply of this Tisty Tosty.

Let this must -have bath bomb seduce you:

Keep it Fluffy (Purple) Bath Bomb

We have another must-have!!!  This bomb is right up there with Think Pink bath bomb and Hottie massage bar in my heart.  I LOVE THIS BOMB! 

It is just as satisfying as its orange sibling, but in a very different way.  Much like the orange, it is VERY scentalicious.  The scent of lavender and vanilla floated in my apartment and stayed on my skin for around 6 hours after my bath.  When I dropped it into the water, it turned into a huge frothy ball almost immediately.  I was taken aback at how weird it looked but blown away by it at the same time.  It fizzed out very slowly and left the water a milky/light purple color.  While it was fizzing, I enjoyed watching the little blue flecks turn into bright fuchsia streaks which caused that beautiful purple hue.  I approve!  My skin felt like velvet for hours afterward and even had my fiance pleased.  I would highly recommend this for a nighttime bath with a side of Billie Holiday Pandora.

Donkey Oaty Bath Bomb

Donkey, Donkey Oaty is the tale of the Easter donkey!!!  OH MY LORD!  I have met my soul mate.  I am getting married to Donkey....wait, I AM married to donkey.  This bomb is AMAZING.  I can't say enough great things about it.  The scent outside of the bath, beautiful colors and adorable character promise a great time.  It would be an understatement to say that it delivered.  When you drop this into the bath it immediately explodes into the most fizzing, orange hurricane.  The scent hits you hard but lays you down soft.  The water is the most perfect hue of playful orange (the best color on earth).  Donkey treats you right!  When you leave your bath you will find yourself soft and smelling like heaven.  If you love the scent as much as I do, check out Charity Pot, LUSH's charitable body lotion.  Each cent (excluding tax) goes to charity, and will be your way to honor Donkey all year until he is back.  I plan on purchasing this in my next haul (this will be Haul 6.....I have a lot of posts!). 

Please get yourself one of these and everyone you love.  They will thank you!

Fresh Farmacy Facial Cleanser

Once I finally wrapped my finger around what this product was (was given an unmarked sample), I was THRILLED!  I have heard great things about this cleanser from a few people with similar skin so I knew this would be an exciting try.  I love this!  It lathers very quickly and washed off of my skin very well.  The scent it fresh like bar soap and neutral for use every day.  Just like Angels on Bare Skin, it didn't break me out and it left my skin looking glowy and clean after just a couple uses.  It's also a good deal...this small sample has lasted a very long time!  I didn't need moisurizer after using this which makes me one happy girl!  I hate fussy routines and so have something clean, yet not strip away all of the moisture, makes me happy. 

Now, I'm trying to somehow decide between this and Angels on Bare Skin, which cleanser I like more.  I CAN'T!  I'm glad a have others to try....hoping that will make my desicion easier.  So far, the only differences are ease of use, which Fresh Farmacy far outdoes Angels and scent, which.....Angels is my fave there. hahaha!

Check it out on Lush's website and do yourself a favor....order some up!

Dorothy Bubble Bar

Meet my nostalgic playground.  This has earned its spot on my must-have list by sending me back to 4th grade.  It's scent is what did it....I can't describe it at all.  However, it reminds me of this toy I had where you poured a silicone goo into molds and could make your own silicone dolls.  When the dolls came out....they were this bubble bar.  Weird, I know, but I love love LOVE it!  The bar has orange blossom in it (my FAVE) so maybe that, coupled with the ylang made my 4th grade experience.

This was my first bubble bar so, I was a little "blonde" with how to use it best.  I know, water + tub + bubble bar does not = rocket science.  I did discover though, it is best to start the water crumbling process before the water has reached optimal height.

The water turned a pretty light blue and the bubbles were thick but not overwhelming.  Inside of the bath my skin was suuuuuuuper soft and outside of the bath my skin kept the softness.  I did feel a tad sticky after my bath but it wore off quickly. 

I can definately say that I will be buying this again and again!  Head over to Lush's website and check it out!

Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser

Simply put....this cleanser is a God-send.  Straight from heaven, after just a week I found my skin brighter, clearer, tighter and with smaller looking pores!  This is without a doubt my new favorite skin care product and I fully intent on making it a staple item in my beauty regimen.

My skin is tricky.  It's oily on my nose but dry around the nostrils.  It's dry on the tip of my chin but oily under my bottom lip.  My forehead is an oil field but cheeks are dry.  Combination to say the least.  This is just this month's skin.  Who knows what next month will hold?  So....for me to find a cleanser that I can use all over my face that doesn't upset the "balance" of my bipolar skin is pure miracle.  Please forgive my constant puns!

This cleanser smells so herbal it's almost like pot in a jar but remixed into something 100% legal.  You take just a pea sized amount and drop a few drops of warm water onto it.  Take your index finger and mush it up into a paste.  Wet your face and rub all over.  Wash off and PRESTO!  Just two days later, you can expect to see a difference.  It won't make your skin feel dry afterward like some of the harsher washes do and the herbal scent doesn't over-stay its welcome.

It has almonds which exfoliate (hello smaller looking pores!) and hold lavender and rose oil to tone (hello even skin).  The lavender is very soothing before bedtime and will leave you addicted to this cleanser.  If you haven't already become addicted to its miracle-working.

Oatifix Face Mask

This sweet honey scented face mask would bring mummies back to life.  It drenches your skin in moisture leaving it glowy and youthful.  Keeping it in the fridge provides a cool blast of refreshing WOW upon application.  A short 5-10 minutes later just wash it off with warm water and pat your skin dry.

My skin is very sensitive.  It breaks out if I cleanse it with harsh products.  It also breaks out if I over-moisturize.  So, you can imagine my hesitation at trying this product.  I was schooled by this concoction of oats, bananas and honey.  Three uses later, my skin has yet to see a breakout and glows from being quenched. 

This is a great mask for wintertime dryness.  I can't see those of you with oily skin needing this in the summer months.  If you have always-dry skin this could be a staple for you!

Unfortunately, Lush doesn't list their Fresh Face Masks on their website.  You can find them however, in the Lush Times paper.  Or, just head to your nearest Lush store to see what they have.  While you are there, pick up the Think Pink bath bomb and Hottie massage bar.  Those are my personal favorites/must-haves.

Hottie Massage Bar

This massage bar is gold!  The scent is very hippy.  It's earthy and unisex....subtle and encompassing.  The bar warms easily with body tempurature and friction but doesn't disentigrate into nothing.  The bumps on the top feel like a massage ball roller and prep you for the relaxation to come.  After you are done the oils warm up on your skin and melt away the tension.  Trading massages has never been so sensual and fun.  After a week of use, this has yet to break my sensitive skin out.  I can't believe it!  I'm positive that all skin types will tollerate this well.  Also, this product can be used as an after-shower moisturizer.  Be sure to let the oils soak in before getting dressed though! 

The only downside is its shape.  How am I to cram this into an oval masage bar tin?  NO!  I refuse to put a con to this product.  I must have a rectangular massage bar tin.  Get on that, Lush!  :-p

I cannot tell you how highly I recommend this product.  Run to your nearest Lush and swipe them up for everyone you know.  This, as well as the Think Pink bath bomb is on my must-have pamper item list.

Think Pink Bath Bomb

The very first Lush product I tried was the Think Pink bath bomb.  What draws me into this bath bomb is its flirty pink color and adorable sugary flowers on the top.  I liked that it was the smaller size because this simple bath bomb is supposed to be petite but pack a punch.  I read that it was once a larger bath bomb, but I love this in a small version and couldn't imagine it any other way. I made sure to pick one with all orange flowers (orange is my absolute favorite color).  Although, you have your own pick, as they are all different color combinations.  It smells super sweet and girly while letting you know that it's here to make an impact.  It is absolute bliss sitting inside its yellow Lush bag.

When I dropped it into my bath water it exploded in a fizzy excitement while shooting hot pink color into my water.  The sugary flowers on top dropped to the bottom of the tub and dissolved when I touched them (bye, bye my friends).  It fizzed at a nice pace and at the end left my water with adorable heart confetti.  The confetti wasn't overwhelming and didn't harm my plumbing at all. 

The air in my bathroom smelled sweet and it flooded into my apartment.  Even my fiance commented on how nice it made the apartment smell and that it didn't overpower him.  When I got out my skin smelled sweet and fun.  Heck, I even felt sweet and fun! 

This bath bomb has 100% made it onto my list of must-have pamper items.

On their website http://www.lushusa.com/shop/ Lush says that it has scents of both tonka and vanilla.  I could definately place vanilla in this bath bomb.  It is a very subtle no-muss, no-fuss girly scent.  Head over and check it out!  At only $3.95 USD this bath bomb is a steal and a very affordable slice of flirty pink goodness.
