Mrs Whippy Bath Bomb

Well, I have to say, the only thing that I didn't like about this bomb was the scent.  I wish that it had Think Pink's scent in place of the buchu oil scent.  My fiance hated the scent so much that he asked me to shower it off.  We can't be having that!  It is supposed to be a strawberry ice cream scent.  It has an ice cream vibe, but the strawberry part might be too buchu and not enough strawberry.  I wish it were more of a strawberry milk powder milk scent.  Something like childhood and summer nights. 

Outside of the scent, it is a beautiful bomb.  It looks just like a cupcake topped with hot pink sprinkles.  It is like dessert and perfect for a nighttime bath.  It will put you in a playful, Marie Antoinette mood.  It made my water a milky pink color which stayed milky through the entire bath, instead of clearing up like most milky bombs.  My skin was impossibly soft and calmed.  This is a result of the Soya Milk powder  I pray that LUSH will release a Think Pink bomb in a "whippy" edition.  That would make my life!

Twilight Bath Bomb

We have an addition to the top favorite beauty products.  This bomb has carved its way to the top and sits pretty in my number one position on my LUSH Loved List.  The scent is intoxicating and forces you to relax (really lol).  It promises the most relaxing evening with it's calming color and beautiful solar detail on top.  When dropped into the water, it begins frothing up and turning the water a bubblegum pink color.  The scent is magnified instantly.  When the core opens up, it is a beautiful surprise of baby blue which paired with the pink, turns the water into a beautiful creamy lavender.

It fizzes out slowly and the scent lingers delicately in the air.  It made my skin super soft and made me smell like heaven. 

You have simply GOT to try this!

Summer Pudding Soap



This soap came in my Strawberry Picnic gift set.  It is a true slice of summery goodness.  It smells a little like bubblegum outside of the shower and nutty bubblegum inside.  It lathered nicely and the almonds in the bar exfoliated without ripping my skin to shreds.  It made my skin very soft and scented sweet like cherries.  It has lasted a long time.  My gift set sized bar is still kickin and has a lot left to give. When I snapped the photo above, I missed out on showing you all the pink cherry scented chunk (the big bars have acutal cherries....this one didn't):

This is the bar after one shower.  Notice the rough almondy texture.  This came out after one shower.

The thing I love about this bar in the store is how hearty and pretty it is.  It has true showmanship and that is what I love in the LUSH soaps.

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.

Keep it Fluffy Purple

Hippy Chick Bath Bomb

This little babe is sandwiched between the Candy Fluff and Avobath bath bombs of the Happy Easter gift set.  It is a sweet little fellow!  The scent is gorgeous.  It's a delicate grapefruit bomb that looks as pure as it smells.  When the bomb hits the water it fizzes out quickly and releases the most true and accurate scent of pink grapefruit.  None of that terrible body spray crap you see at other bath and body shops.  This is the real thing.  I felt as if I was sitting inside a grapefruit half, just bathing it it's juices.  Perk - NOT STICKY! lol  The water stays its normal color but the scent makes up for the lack of showmanship.  When I got out of the bath I felt super cleansed, relaxed and balanced.  My skin was so soft, I must have spent a good 5 minutes rubbing my arms and proclaiming to Donkey "it's so soft!!".  He didn't respond. 

This is one of the original best-selling Cosmetics to Go products and I am not surprised that it was remixed and remade.  It is the most amazing and accurate fruity scented bath product that I have ever used.  On the website, it says that it may melt, which I'm not understanding.  So, try to pick it up at your local store if you can.  If you love yourself at all, you will pick up about 100 of these:

American Cream Conditioner

Meet the world's best smelling conditioner.  Someone get LUSH a bright neon sign to put in their window!  The scent of this conditioner is pure HEAVEN.  It's vanilla and strawberry scent has you smelling like an ice cream shop.  Truly American!  My hair smelled sweet all the way until I washed it again.  That is hard to find because usually the scent of a conditioner wears off quickly or after drying. 

The moisurizing power of this product is phenominal.  It's supposed to be double-strength conditioning and it truly is.  It left my hair soft and manangeable.  It didn't repair but did make my hair feel repared.  It might be worth the $28.95 USD to get a bottle.  Might just go on my Christmas list!

American Cream

Sugar Scrub Sugar Scrub

Well, what would a little beauty adventure be without a little trial, wound and error? 

I got this in the Greetings From... gift set.  It is the perfect addition to the set.  I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of the smell of freshly cut grass.  Maybe because I can sometimes be allergic depending on my skins mood (I'm dramatic, okay?).  The scent of this scrub is purely bag of grass.  However, I enjoyed it enough to be super excited to try it out.  This might explain why what happened, happened.  Here is my story:



The instructions on the package of the scrub read as follows: "Get your body nice and wet, then smooth your sugar scrub all over (scrubbing harder on the rough parts) and rinse off.".  Keep in mind, I got this in a gift set.  Most people who receive it this way, will not be in a Lush store bathing in advice from gurus looking out for their arms' best interest.  Therefore, most folks will read the instructions and do as I did.....rub this devil on their wet, soft, exposed and vulnerable arm.  OH THE HORROR!!!!!!  I dragged across my arm and it left me with this nice, rashy, stinging, red.....wound.  On quick damage control, I did the natural thing (thought process of the masses?) and wet the entire ball of sugar scrub.  Apparently, also a no-no.  For when I put it on my counter post shower-of-pain, it melted into a puddle of green, grassy goo.  So......I have a small open letter to Lush.

Dear Lush (I love you, I love you),

Please include on this product, the step to break of a piece and wet lightly THEN SCRUB.  Also, threaten complete and total destruction upon wetting the product on the packaging.  Yes, I know, the website says not to wet it but let's face it.....who will read the website pre-shower? 

Your still-loving and somewhat wounded warrior,
Heather

Well, I scooped up my poor (wait, why do I feel sorry for this pain-inducing thing....better yet, why am I giving it a personality?), goo glob, plopped it into its dome and put it in time-out.  It dried back into shape and became usable again.  Here is what it looked like afterward:

So...............don't do as I did and listen to these "instructions". PFFFFF!  Tom-foolery.  Ask a friend, and come wearing your battle armor to use this product.  It made my skin soft and didn't leave it smelling too much like a golf tourney.  Check it out! :

You've Been Mangoed Bath Melt

This was my first ever bath melt.  I decided I had to get it when I went to pick it up in the store and the sucker slipped right out of my hands!  I HAD to conquer it.  I couldn't really place the smell until later on when I was sitting the the water.  Like the Dragon's Egg bath bomb, it smelled like lemon Pledge.  The evil lemon Pledge from my childhood.  I'm excited to find a lemon scent that doesn't bring back memories of Saturdays forced to dust and vaccum my day away.  I might be bitter.....ok I'm damaged LOL  Now back to the product.  It melted very easily and was almost as interesting as a science experiment.  How oh, how and why does it stay solid yet refuse to stay solid in contact with anything above room tempurature?  Anyhow, I used only half in my small tub and it did the trick.  My skin was cloud-soft afterward.  Thankfully, even though the air held the smell of Pledge, my skin just smelled fresh and citrusy.  My finace used the other half the next night in an attempt to soothe his sore legs and said it made his skin soft and smelled very nice.  I'm excited to see what the other bath melts are like.  I'm thinking this not be my favorite one, but I did enjoy the way it made my skin feel.

By the way, I'm noticting that the products with lemongrass oil in them remind me of Pledge.  I'm curious to see if I can find one that doesn't!  For now, I've been Pledged

Keep it Fluffy (Orange) Bath Bomb

I'm loving how this bomb can be so simple yet satisfy me so much.  The scent is subtle both outside and inside the bath but sticks around.  It stayed on my skin long after and smelled of subtle vanilla.  When dropped in the water, a creamsicle colored foam comes out of the bomb.  It fizzes out slowly and turnes the water a light orange/yellow color.  It had probably been the slowest-fizzing bomb that I've tryed.  There was no "show" with this bomb but that way okay.  The scent and pretty color was enough for me.  It also made my skin super soft and left me feeling young and awake.  I'm liking this bomb for and affordable summer treat that is calorie free and relaxing!

Sex Bomb Bath Bomb

This bath bomb is beautiful.  The purple and pink ball smells like heaven....which must smell like jasmine.  When dropped in the water it fizzes out quickly and leaves the rose on top floating around the tub.  I smooshed the rose into the skin on my elbows hoping it would soften them.  It felt like it might be moisturizing.  It turned the water a milky pink/purple color and filled the room with the sexy smell of jasmine.  I am addicted to the smell of this bomb.  It made my skin incredibly soft and left it smelling like jasmine well into the night.  I would recommend this bomb for before a date beacause the scent is pure heaven.  Please lord let one of my new Lush perfumes smell exactly like this!
