Mother's Day 2015 - LUSH Bath Bombs

Hello Beautiful Ones!

I could spend this entire post writing about how amazing my Mom is, but I'll try to keep that to a minimum (no promises though!). If you still haven't pinned down that perfect gift for your own Mom, or that special woman in your life, you might want to try a Lush bath bomb. The Lush mother's day collection features two bath bombs this year: Rose Bombshell and Secret Garden.

I'm a sucker for a good bath bomb, so I decided to stick to those instead of the other Mother's Day offerings. The first thing I noticed when these showed up in the mail (sadly there isn't a Lush store in my area), was the major size difference. The Rose Bombshell was on the larger side for a bath bomb while Secret Garden is on the smaller side.

Rose Bombshell Bath Bomb

Even though this is marketed as a bath bomb it is actually a bit of a hybrid. The outer layer is your typical bath bomb while the inside contains rose petals and bath salts. This bomb also contains soy milk powder and rose oil. The scent is a really gorgeous floral smell, but not too overpowering. Obviously the predominate color here is white, so there isn't a lot of color with this one. However there is a little pink in the middle, along with the red rose petals. Admittedly though I only got about 6 rose petals in mine, but it was a nice touch. My pros for this one are great smell and I like large size, the cons are lack of color and more rose petals would have been nice. The price runs for $7.95, which is pretty good for the large size.

Secret Garden Bath Bomb

Like I said at the beginning of this post, the size of this one was much smaller than I expected it to be. Again, this one has a floral scent (but I'm not complaining) and there is also some citrus mixed in there. According to the description on the Lush website this bomb is also supposed to contain flower petals, but mine just had a few tiny ones. If I hadn't been looking for them I might have missed them altogether. With that being said, this bath bomb was great! The smell was very relaxing and it melted very frothy. Plus, the color payoff was really pretty greens and pinks just like the outside of the bomb (expect that at the end you're pretty much left with a murky green). My pros for this one are good scent, pretty colors, and very frothy. My only con is a severe lack of promised flower petals. Also, smaller size means smaller price so it's only $6.95.

If I had to choose between the two I would say that Secret Garden was my favorite, but they were both lovely. Don't forget that Mother's Day is Sunday May 10th in the U.S.! My Mom is one of the kindest women I have ever met. She reminds me everyday to follow my dreams and never give up. I hope you have an amazing woman in your life to celebrate this Mother's day. 

I'm sending love and sparkles to all you amazing Moms out there this mother's day!

Lush Winter Bath Goodies!

Hello Beautiful Ones!

I have long stood by the statement that bubble baths can have magical powers. Sometimes I just need a really good soak in the tub to relax and re-energize. I know there are people out there that think baths are a waste of time. If you fit into that category then this might not be the post for you, because today I'm reviewing two bath products for Lush's winter/holiday collection: the Butterbear Bath Bomb and the Christmas Hedgehog Bubble Bar.

First of all, these both look adorable. They would make great gifts for anyone in your life who likes to pamper themselves in the bath every now and then (who doesn't?). These would also make great stocking stuffers or a good small gift for a friend or co-worker. 

Butterbear Bath Bomb- $4.95

Lush took its Butterball bath bomb and reshaped it into a cute little bear which is adorable. I had never tried the Buterball bomb before and this adorable bear was hard to resist. If color is something you go for when you use a bath bomb, then this probably isn't the one for you. After the bomb fizzes out you are left with a vanilla scented bath that is filled with the cocoa butter that the bear leaves behind. I loved how moisturizing this one was, definitely perfect for a nice winter bath. 

Christmas Hedgehog Bubble Bar- $7.25

I know I keep going on and on about how cute these are, but this one is just so adorable I can't get over it. It was almost hard for me to actually use it (almost!). This was my first experience with a Lush bubble bar. The idea is that you crumble the bar under your running bath water to create the bubbles. I have to say that I would have liked even more bubbles, but I did really enjoy the floral scent.

Let me know if you've tried any of the winter/holiday goodies from Lush!
