Mini Lush Haul

 Yesterday I went to Lincoln for a little day out and whilst I was there I just had to pop into Lush for a few things. I don't have a Lush store near me at home or when I'm at uni so that's my little excuse for having a small spend!

These are the two little beauty's that I purchased. On the left is the Dragon's Egg bath bomb which was £3.25 and on the right is the Creamy Candy bubble bar which was £2.50. I picked up the Dragon's Egg bath bomb first and wasn't sure which one to get, I was going to get the space girl bath bomb but I'd already tried that one before and wanted a change. This one stood out to me in particular because of the colourful pieces of confetti (rice paper confetti/'dragon scales') it is filled with and then when I picked it up, the smell. "Its scent is reminiscent of lemon sherbet, with a hint of jasmine, leaving you feeling great and ready for a good day" says Lush. It smelt so fruity and the fact that includes popping candy (what more can you ask for?!) inspired by the Dragon's Egg firework cake, I just had to buy it. The Creamy Candy bubble bar is another product which I am yet to try, it has "a nourishing, creamy candy-scented bubble bar with added cocoa butter for soft skin" according to Lush so I can't wait to use this and it also smells of candy floss!

I'm hoping to get to try both of these out sometime before I head back to uni this weekend so keep an eye out for them on my Twitter here and my Instagram here.

Have you tried any of these? What are your favourite Lush products?

Nougat London Bath Truffles

Being home from uni has many benefits, one of those benefits being... baths. Everyone loves a Lush bath bomb but as I recently received one from another brand in the Beauty Box Swap that I did with Tania (read more about that here) I thought I'd give this one a go!

This Nougat London 'bath truffle' in peony is available here for £3.00, which could be seen as a little bit expensive for the size that you're getting compared to the big Lush bath bombs but you do get the nice little trinket bag too. As soon as I smelt this I knew it was going to be nice to use and I couldn't wait to be around a bath again to use it.

I did think from these crystals you can see in the photos (above) that they'd be the kind to sink to the bottom of your bath and not dissolve at all. However, this wasn't the case as every last part dissolved and left a silky smooth feel to the water. The smell of the bath bomb wasn't as noticeable once it had dissolved which I think I'll be putting down to the size of it although some of you might prefer a weaker scent anyway.

You can just about see the bubbles it created when I first put it into the bath from the photo above (sorry about the quality, I was using my phone) and it didn't really make much of a change to the colour or look of the water at all which doesn't really bother me although I did have to add a little bit of body wash to the bath just to give it a few bubbles (bubble baths were always the best)! One thing that this 'bath truffle' does do noticeably well however, is make your skin feel a lot better. Now, I'm not one who is too bothered about oily baths, I know some people love them and some hate them but this is where I tend to sit on the line between the two. This does create quite a lot of oil for it's size I thought (but maybe that's because I haven't really used an oily based bath bomb for a while) and when you get out and moisturize etc. I really did feel the difference, my skin felt so soft! I'm now thinking of purchasing some more of these for when I come home next, maybe in some other scents too.

What are your favourite bath bombs to use?
