Lush: Creamy Candy Bubble Bar

For me, bath time without anything from Lush isn't great... A bottle of bubble bath, to me, doesn't quite cut it; the smells aren't as strong, the formula doesn't leave the water as silky and I just don't feel pampered.

I constantly go back for 2 bubble bars at Lush, first is always 'The Comforter' does what it says on the tin! Second is this, Creamy Candy Bubble Bar; which just smells divine- sweet like candy floss but not sickly, it smells to me like Vanilla and candy. The smell alone is enough for me, but this is so rich and moisturising that it feels like a real treat!

It contains cocoa butter which is great for softening the skin (think nasty elbows and knees) and Almond Oil, which is just fantastic for hair and skin! I actually have a bottle of pure almond oil that I use in the bath on occasions, always leaves my skin feeling super soft and not greasy at all.

This bubbles up amazingly, like most lush bath products. it is quite small so I can get 2 uses maximum out of this- or just the one if I'm in need of a real pamper! It is quite soft to crumble, I find it needs to be crushed really well to get it to dissolve properly, otherwise you have chunks floating in the bath which no one wants!

I just think this is such an underrated product from Lush, if you want a really inexpensive, deliciously sweet bath then head over to your local Lush and pick this up for £2.75

Lush: Rub Rub Rub

Let me start by saying that when I review Lush products, I do hold them up to a fairly high level.  It is rare that I will be disappointed with something I have purchased from Lush.   

Exfoliating, to me, is vital!   Twice a week I will do a full body exfoliating sesh, and slap on as much body lotion afterwards in attempt to combat my dry, de-hydrated skin. So when I'm having a scrub the scent, texture and ingredients are key (I wont use anything full of chemicals and heavily scented!) 

Now when I say I have searched high and low for an body scrub that will leave my skin soft, refreshed and pampered; I do mean I have searched high and low!!   I want a product that will leave me feeling soft and refreshed after use, not red raw and wanting to scrub the smell off! 

Rub Rub Rub, a shower scrub (rhymes!) is fast approaching as one of my favourite scrubs this year; I can rave about it from the scent to its texture!  The scrub is an electric blue colour, with a wonderful, fresh scent. the description reads: 

"When it comes to scrubs, we've got it licked with this fragrant, blossom-scented sea salt scrub for your body and hair." 

I would have this is partly accurate, and here's why; on my body this scrub can be used two ways depending on my skin at that point.  If I am in need of something more abrasive  to get rid of lots of dead skin then i will use this straight onto my dry skin; it does not feel harsh or really leave my skin red and sore; it just simply exfoliates me a little more and I do feel a lot softer when doing this.  Most of the time however, I will use this in the shower onto my wet skin; it lathers up slightly and does not feel to exfoliating yet I do notice how soft my skin is when I am out the shower.  I love how this product will change depending on the way in which you use it.

I also tried this in my hair as it says on tub; I can't say it was pleasant...  My hair felt so dried after this, the roots of my hair just felt unmanageable and also the hair was left salty, so when my wet hair dripped onto my mouth i tasted strong salty water :( grim! 

Aside from using it in my hair and hating it, I can't recommend this product enough! If you're looking for something that leaves your skin smelling wonderfully fresh, nothing to strong and chemically enhanced smell then I urge you to try this!

It does retail for £7.95: I believe that it is a perfectly acceptable price and one tub lasts me about 5-6 weeks so I'm not paying for it too often (also ask for this when its birthdays etc!) 

I hope this helps some of you! 

Happy Scrubbing :)
