Hey beautiful people and welcome back to my channel.
So today I'm going to be doing a Lush haul!
And this is no ordinary everyday Lush haul. Because this is going to be a
Christmas/Halloween Winter inspired Lush haul.
Now, if you follow me on Twitter on Facebook you probably already know this. But the other
day I was invited to my local Lush in Bromley for a bloggers event. And myself and a few other
amazing bloggers went down to check out the new things they've brought out for Halloween and
Christmas this year.
And we got to try out all the new products, and we got to pick 3 items we wanted to keep.
We got to buy what we liked the look of. And it was really cool, and I had a great time.
I met some lovely people, and I'm really grateful that I got to go.
So things did happen. I got lots of things in my basket. So today I thought, seeing as
you guys love my Lush hauls, I would do one for Halloween and Christmas.
So let's get ready to get into the magic!
[Glittery magic sound effect] Magical times!
Number 1 - Sparkly Pumpkin. Ooh yes, I love this one.
Now, this is Sparkly Pumpkin. And it is a pumpkin shape bubble bar, meaning you can
use it more than one time, and it creates bubbles. And it's got glitter all over it,
and a little stick of cinnamon in the top, which is really invigorating. It's scented
with lime and grapefruit oil and juniper berry oil. So it's a really nice, fresh, invigorating,
sharp scent. But it does smell very autumnal. I think the juniper berry gives it that nice
little autumnal scent to it. But then the lime and the lime and the grapefruit
are quite uplifting.
But they brought this one out last year. I absolutely fell in love with it. And I was
so happy they brought it out again this year. I was like "Ooooh! Hallelujah!" So I got one,
but I have a feeling I'm gonna have to go and panic buy these. Because this was my
all time favourite one last year. And I still love it as much this year.
Now, this next one is Snow Angel Bath Melt. And this one I absolutely love. They had it
last year. And what it is, it's a snow angel shape bath melt, and it's got glitter on the back,
lots of gold glitter as you can see by my hands. It's got rose oil absolute, cassia oil,
it's got gardenia, and it's also got benzoin. So this is, as you can imagine, quite a
relaxing bath product to use. It's great for the evenings. And I personally think this is
good for people who maybe like Christmassy things, but don't like anything too
overly sharp or sweet like Snow Fairy, or some of the more Christmassy cinnamony ones.
And I personally think this is a great one to use for people who like that kind of thing.
But I just really like it, and I do like the glitter. Although my dad absolutely hates it.
But ah well, he'll have to put up the torture for a few months.
Ooh, glitter! Yay, glitter party!
The next one I've got here is the Five Gold Rings. I believe this is a bubble bar.
So basically you can use each of these little rings one time for a bath. So you get 5 baths
out of it, which is great. This contains tonka bean and vanilla. So it smells a little bit
like Twilight, that kind of scent. So if you like those quite spicy warm scents, with a
little bit of sweetness to it, you probably will really like this one.
And I just think I like the fact that it's 5 gold rings, and you can just get 5 baths
out of this, I think it's really cool. I mean, if you wanted to go town, you could use more
than one. You could use the whole thing, no-one's gonna judge you. But if you wanted to be a
bit economical, and have more than one bath out of it, then just use each of these rings
each time. And I just think that's a nice little thing to do, like in the countdown
to Christmas. So I absolutely love this one, I can't wait to try it. It looks amazing.
The next one I've got here is the Bar Humbug Bubble Bar, which is a purple bubble bar.
It looks a little bit like the Comforter, or Blue Skies And Fluffy White Clouds,
those kind of ones. It's got the while swirly bit in the middle. It's a bubble bar, so you can
break it up and use it multiple times, depending on how many bubbles you like in your bath.
And this is for people who don't like the Christmassy themed products that Lush do
around this time of year. They don't really like to be bombarded with Christmas things.
So it's kind of for the Scrooges out there, who maybe don't like Christmas,
or don't like too many Christmassy themed things in their bath.
It contains bergamot oil, tarragon and fennel. So I personally like this one, because it
smells a little bit herby. And you probably could get about 2 baths out of this, depending
on how many baths you like, maybe even 3. But I probably would get 2 out of this. But
I like it. And I think, if I wanna have one of my Scrooge days, where I don't wanna feel
too Christmassy, then this is a good one to use.
What is this? Holly Golightly. Oh yes, they brought this one out last year. And this is
probably one of the biggest ones they did. Because it is a massive Lush pudding shaped
bubble bar. And it's got glitter all over it, it's got green and silver glitter. And
it's inspired by Breakfast At Tiffany's, when Holly is in her bath. And it's the idea that
you'd have nothing on but your bubbles and your pearls.
The way I would describe this scent is it's like Christmas all rolled into one. Because
it's got clove oil in it, it's got lime and orange oil in it, it has got patchouli in it,
it's got cinnamon in it. So it's like everything you like at Christmas, like punches,
and warm baking, cinnamon, the spicy scents. For me it's like a really warm, rich scent,
and it's like just what you'd wanna smell at Christmas time. So this for me is like
Christmas personified in a bubble bar.
So if you like things to smell just like Christmas, then this one's probably gonna be your one
to go for. But it's massive, and I probably would say you could get about 4 baths out
of this, because it's huge. And I remember I used this last year, and it turns your bath
a really rich holly green.
Sorry about that guys. My dogs entered the room, and I thought, in true Lush Christmas
spirit, I would put them in their jumpers. So here's Freddie in his little Christmas
jumper, looking very festive. Are you excited about Lush Freddie? Are you?
Oh, who's a good boy!
So I just thought I would put them in the video, and just let them be here in their
little Christmas jumpers, looking all cute and festive. So I hope you enjoyed that little bit.
Anyway, let's get back to Lush.
So the next thing I've got to show you is the Salt And Peppermint Bark Body Scrub. Now,
this is basically a square shaped solid body scrub. So if you've used things like the
Aqua Mirabilis one, or... I'm trying to think... maybe Buffy might have been another one,
it's quite similar to that, in the fact that it is a solid product that you use, and you
wet it in the shower, and the little exfoliant beads come off of it.
So it's got peppermint in it, so it's quite a fresh, invigorating scent. And I tried this
one in the shop actually, and I loved it, I thought it was amazing. It's really nice,
it really helps to buff away the dead skin, and it just helps you feel really clean and
fresh afterwards. And it makes your skin feel quite tingly, because it's got a mentholy
spearminty kind of scent and qualities in it. So I personally love that.
I mean, you might not if it's a cold day, and you're like "Brrrr" in the shower.
But if you're needing to get up in the shower and get awake and get ready, then this would
be great to use for that, because it's really invigorating. And I really like this one.
So I'm gonna enjoy using that.
What do we have next in my bag of delights?
Ooh, what are you? Oh, the Peeping Santa! And, ooh, Freddie's interested.
Do you like it Freddie?
So this one is probably without a doubt the cutest one that Lush have brought out this year.
It's a little Santa peeping! Look at him!
Now, if you remember last year, they had the penguin one, and they also had a little hedgehog,
and they had a little wizard one last year as well. And I think, with Lush, they always
bring out a little cute, whimsical one that has little peeping eyes, that probably makes
you feel quite guilty about putting it in the bath. But that's just Lush in true Lush
Christmas spirit. And this year it's a little Santa, with a little Santa hat, and he's peeping
out with his little chocolate eyes, which are actually chocolate buttons I've been told.
It has bergamot and geranium oil, so it is quite a clean, fresh scent. So if you like
those kind of fresh scents that Lush do, maybe like Pop In The Bath, those kind of scents,
then this one's quite similar to that. And I think it's kind of creepy in a sense though,
because it will be sitting on the bath, and it'll be looking at you as you're about to
put it in to its doom. But, oh well.
And it also looks a bit like a Bubbleroon, because it's got this creamy bit in the middle,
that's separating the Santa's body from his hat. But I think it's super cute,
and I'm so excited to use this one.
And it is a bubble bar, so you can use it multiple times. You could probably drip his
hat off, and then the rest of him if you wanted to. You could use it in one go if you wanted to.
But if you wanted to get more than one use out of him, then that's basically how
you could do it. So there is peeping Santa.
Cinders! Oooh!
This one is amazing. Oh yeah!
Now, Cinders, they brought out last year. And it's got popping candy in it, and it also
contains cinnamon and patchouli. And it's just a really warm, inviting scent. For me
it's personally like the perfect autumn scent, because it smells just like an open fire, with
that really warm, woody scent to it. I absolutely love it, it's personally one of my favourite ones.
And I had to get it, because I just love it. And it turns the water this really
rich orangey shade. And I just think it looks super amazing.
So I had to get one of those again this year.
And, by the way, a little trivia. That bath bomb was the first bath bomb ever to use
popping candy. Isn't that cool? Because that basically simulates the sound of a crackling fire.
Great for people who, like me, don't have much vision. Because it sounds amazing
as well as smells amazing. Isn't that cool?
Next one, we have Candy Mountain!
Oh my god. This is probably, for me, the prettiest one that Lush do. It's a pink and white bubble
bar in the shape of a mountain, and it basically swirls around. And this contains vanilla,
and it is also quite a sweet scent. So it's a little bit similar to things like Snow Fairy
or the Magic Wand one that they had this year as well as last year, or Creamy Candy as well.
Now, for me, I don't usually like the more sweeter scents from Lush. I'm more of a person
that likes the spicier and the warmer blends. But this one's a little bit more milder for me,
so I personally always get this one. Because it's sweet, but not as sweet as Snow Fairy,
which is why I like it. It just smells so good, and it just looks so cute! I love it!
And it's a bubble bar, so you can use it more than once as well. You probably could use
it about 2 or 3 times, or in one go if you wanted to be quite greedy.
I'm not gonna judge you.
So the next one I've got here is the Lord Of Misrule Bath Ballistic, which is one of
their Halloween inspired ones. Now, they brought this one out last year, and they've also got
it out this year again. It's a deep green circle shape bath ballistic with a crown on
the top, inspired by the tradition of the feast of fools. And it contains patchouli,
and it also contains black pepper. And, for me, this is quite a warm, spicy scent.
Now, I said this last year, I don't usually the patchouli scents, but this one I do quite like.
Which is a first for me, because I don't usually like patchouli. But I think this is
a great one to use. And it turns the water blood red. So you can put it in the bath and
pretend that you're bathing in the blood of your enemies, if you have any of course.
The next one we have is the Stardust Bath Bomb, which is kind of taking the place of
the Star Light Star Bright one that they had last year. It contains vanilla and Peruvian
rosewood. So it's quite a sweet yet clean scent. It's a little bit similar to Butterbear,
and that kind of calibre. But I absolutely love it, I think it's amazing.
Now, when you put it in the bath, what happens is it basically fizzes up, and it turns a
light shade of blue. And there are tiny little stars in it. That is super cute. I think the
vanilla makes it smell quite pastry-esque. I don't know, it kind of smells like when
you're making pastry and you're preparing it. It's got that kind of sweet buttery scent
to it. It's really nice though, I love it. And it doesn't look anything special,
but when it is put in the bath, believe me, you will love it.
Oh no, there's all powder over Freddie! I'm sorry Freddie, you're gonna smell like
a Lush shop. But that will mean that's fine, because I'll want to have you.
Butterbear! Oh yeah! I love this one! Probably one of the best ones for anyone who just wants
something quite simple.
Now, Butterbear, here he is. It's a bath bomb in the shape of a polar bear. Kind of the
same as Butterball, except in a different shape. And it contains ylang ylang and cocoa
butter and vanilla. And this is a really clean, quite sweet, scent. It's packed with cocoa
butter and really lovely, nourishing ingredients, to help soften the skin and clear the mind.
It doesn't do anything special to the bath when you put it in. It just turns the water
a milky colour. But it does do great things to your skin. And you could also combine
this with another bath product, if you wanted to create something a little bit more visually
spectacular. But it's a great one if your skin's suffering this autumn/winter.
And I personally love it.
The Magic Of Christmas Reusable Bubble Bar.
Oh my god. Now this you are gonna love it. And if you don't love it, then there's something
wrong with you, I'm sorry. But there would be.
Ta-da! The wand is a star. It has glitter on it. It has got cinnamon in it, and it's
also got almond oil. But for me, it's just the most amazing spicy scent. And it just
smells like Christmas. And it looks absolutely amazing.
So the idea of this one is you swish it in the water, or you hold it under a tap, and
it creates bubbles, and you can use it more than once. I mean, you could use all of it
in one go. But, in all honesty, you can get more than one out of this, I'd probably say
about 3 to 4. And I absolutely love it. It's a really rich orange colour. And you can combine
it with something like Cinders, because that's what they did in the demo in the shop.
It's actually got a real cinnamon stick, so you could actually use this in the bath as well.
And it's got star anise in it, which is basically like a clovey, cinnamony, Christmassy
baking type scent. So it's literally just like Christmas on a stick.
Christmas on a stick, it does not get any better than that folks.
The final thing I've got from Lush is the Cranberry Fresh Face Mask. Now, this is basically
an anti-oxidising face mask. It's got argan oil in it to help to soothe the skin,
it's got patchouli oil in it, it's got lemongrass oil in it, it has got cranberries in it,
it's got rose clay. It is the most amazing smelling thing.
But from what I gather from this, it's going to really help to protect and to nourish and
to cleanse the skin. And these face masks are amazing, because they are in the fridge,
and they're really cold and soothing on the skin. So if you suffer from things like rosacea,
or your skin gets quite sore, then this will be a really good one to try. And I'm super
excited to give this one a go, because it smells and looks amazing.
I also thought I would just mention - Lush Bromley also kindly gave all of us bloggers
some samples to try. So I got some of the Hair Custard Hair Treatment, like a hair conditioning
treatment. They brought this out a while ago in the Lush Oxford Street store, and it's
gone to all the Lush stores worldwide. And this stuff I've been told has been selling
like hot cakes. But it is kind of a love or hate thing, because it's quite a rich product.
But I'll definitely give this a go and let you know what I think about it. Because it
looks quite interesting, and it's always good to try out new things.
I also got a sample of the Christingle Shower Gel, or Shower Cream. And I have tried this
on in the shop, they did a little demo of it on my hand. And it's really mentholy, tingly.
I'm gonna give this a go and let you know what I think.
And last but not least, I also got a sample of the Lord Of Misrule Shower Scream, which
is a shower cream. It's basically like the Lord Of Misrule Bath Ballistic, but it is
in a shower cream form. So that will be quite interesting to try as well.
So that concludes my Lush haul today guys. I really, really hope you enjoyed it.
Let me know in the comments what you would like to try from Lush, if you've got any recommendations
for your own Lush Christmas products that you have tried and you like.
And I also wanna say thank you to Lush Bromley for inviting me and my guide dog to the event.
It was absolutely amazing, and I'm really grateful. I'll also link all the other bloggers
that went to the event in the description, if you wanna go and check out their blogs,
and their posts that they did on the Lush Bloggers Event as well.
You totally should, because they're amazing.
If you want to follow me on Instagram @Fashioneyesta2012,
as and when I use these products I will do demos on my Instagram,
so you can see what they look like when they go in the bath.
So I'll link that down below, my Instagram, if you wanna got and check me out there,
if you want to of course, and if you want to see any of these demos then you will be able to.
And thank you all so much for watching. And I will see you guys in my next one.
Goodbye everybody!
