Lush Whoosh Shower Jelly

Hey everybody how are you all today :) :) 

wow its a sure sign the weather is changing when you have kiddies in the house with the snuffles and when you are also thinking of lighting the fire but will refuse because that means finally you have to admit Summer is over Noooooooo!!!!!!

Anyways today I have a Lush review for you :) :) Not often you see that on my blog lol As lush is about 40+ miles away from me I like to go cray cray when I do get there hahahaha 

I have been playing away with my last haul that i got 2 months back so I thought I would start sharing with you what i got and how I got on with them 

First up is the Lush Whoosh Shower Jelly :)  The reason I went for this one was becausee i have never in my life seen anything like it before plus its a multi-tasking product which I love as anyone would and another reason is that its especially designed for any busy person out there be it full time workers full time mums etc.  PERFECT for me :) :) 

LoL I love that sentence Stroke our Wobbly bit over your Wobbly bits in the shower BRILLIANT !!!!

Inside this wobbly life form we’ve trapped fresh organic lemon and lime juice, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, grapefruit essential oil, rosemary oil and geranium oil. This is a fruity citrus blaster that will propel you out of the shower and into a new space and time. by Lush 

I have to admit the 2nd thing that made me purchase this tub of wonder was the scent boy oh boy from the moment you take the lid off this you are hit with this beautiful.  The Citrus freshness it absolutely amazing you just could not put this back on the shelf :) 
There are 2 sizes of pots you can buy 100g tub and a 200g tub.  I decided to go with the 100g just incase I somehow did not like it.  I cant remember the exact price but I know it costs £3.50 in England which works out less than €5 here 

As you can see this literally looks like jelly its wiggles like jelly and separates like jelly good enough to eat lol.  
I was told you can use this in the shower on your body and on your hair.  To be honest I have not used it on my hair yet and probably will not as I am a fussy so n so when it comes to my hair and what i use on it to wash but I am sure you men out there would not mind using it as a 2 in 1 :)   After all this product is for both men and women ;)
The purpose of this jelly is to make you feel alive in the mornings if you are tired and feeling like jumping back into bed.  The refreshing scent is suppose to wake you up and get you ready for the day.  If you put this in the freezer it add even more of a wake up call in the mornings believe me :) :) plus do not be afraid to put in the freezer as it falls back into place when it defrosts.  

I remember the first time I used this in the shower it was so so funny.  Me been a newbie and all I grabbed a little of this jelly about the amount in the photo above and started to wash myself with it.  With the warm water disolving it a little I found it breaking up and falling onto the shower floor I done more running around in the shower trying to grab the jelly than anything else very slippery I have to say.  I was clever the next though the evil jelly was not going to get the better of me this time wahahahahaha
I placed the same amount of the jelly onto my hand mitt and it works brilliantly that way no slipping or sliding this time :) :) 

awwww ladies and gents everytime i used this Shower Jelly its like jumping into a sea of citrus sweets.  The scent is absolutely delightful and my skin feels super clean and fresh.  Using my hand mit means no loss of product whatsoever.  The hand mitt also helps the product foam up nice and good leaving me covered in citrus suds from head to toes just from one little piece.  The scent lingers from a long time afterwards too which I love. 

Judging by the amount of times I have used this product so far I can safely say that the 100g pot would surely last you about a month maybe a little more depending on how much you use :)  
If you are looking for the perfect wake me up shower jelly that leaves you sniffing the air with pleasure and also sniffing you arm for a reminder of the pleasurable shower you had that morning also for your skin to be squeaky clean and soft Lush Whoosh Shower Jelly is the way to go.  I can not wait to try their other scent which is Sweetie Pie :) :) Have any of you Lush fans out there tried that yet :) :) 
Until Next Time 
Lots Of Love Luck and Laughter

Lush Emotional Brilliance Liquid Lipstick in Passionate

Hey my beauties How are you all doing today :) 

Today I have a Lush post for you all.  

My good reliable friend was in Lush Last week again and rang me asking me what I wanted I was super excited and said surprise me but make sure there is something make-up wise in it as I have never tried make-up by Lush  :) 

When I got the bag in my hand I couldn't wait to see what I got in my goody bag.  

So Along with Shampoo bars and bath bombs there with this very bright shaded Lipstick :) 

If you were not in the blogging world you would probably wonder what this was at first.  

The packaging actually reminds me of eye drops or something like that :)

I have always wanted to try these from the moment I seen them released.  At Lush you can actually get a colour reading done so that they can match you up with shades thats are suitable for you.  

So what are the Lush Emotion Brilliance Liquid Lipsticks 

The Liquid Lipsticks are a Very Very intensely pigmented lip cream that leaves your lips feeling smooth and soft and moisturised but at the same time giving your lips a whole lease of life for the whole day :) 

The lipsticks contains ingredients such as jojoba oil, candelilla wax and rose wax.  

Jojoba oil:  is especially designed to cure chapped dry lips 

Candelilla wax:  Creates a gloss on the lips and makes the lipstick more water resistant 

Rose Wax:  Creates a barrier of moisture to the lips :) 

Each lipstick comes in a glass container which might I add is 100% recyclable and costs €17.00 which at first seemed pretty steep in price to me until i started to use it for myself and to be honest this lipstick is surely going to last a very very very long time.  Even longer than most high end lipsticks out there.  

You are getting 5g of product for that price too which is good enough for me.  

There are 14 Shades to choose from So my friend along with the help of the lovely ladies at Lush in Grafton Street chose Passionate for me :) 

This is a bright fuchsia pink with blue undertones :)  Doesn't it look amazing :) :) 

The shade or should I say the name Suits me down to the ground because I am a very passionate person and feel strongly about a lot of things in my life.  I am strong minded and It has been said by others that my passion for things shines bright.  As you can see this is a well suited name for this lipstick.  Its strong, bold and bright I love it :) Its Looks really well with my warm complexion and I literally don't need any other makeup on me while wearing this as it looks fantastic on its own 

Overall I found this lipstick to apply really really handy with the doe foot applicator it leaves it easier to apply evenly.  My lips did feel smooth and soft wearing this and not once did I feel it dry out my lips. There is no sticky feeling to it at all.  It feels so so light  After it wears off a little I found it leaves a stain effect which also looks beautiful.  I only had to reapply the once through the day after eating and drink to keep the intensity but you could get away with not reapplying and still have a tint on your lips.  So I think its worth €17?  100% Because as I said before you would spend the same amount on another higher end lipstick which wont last as long as this lipstick.  I plan on getting another shade soon in fact and I cant wait to share it with you :) 

Would you be bold enough to wear this shade?  

Until next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lush "Hello Gorgeous" Gift Box

Well Hello Gorgeous :) 

Yes you :) 

How are you today :) 

One day I got a phone call from my friend saying he was passing by Lush did I want anything I was like "Eh Hell Ye" you see Lush is about 40+ miles away from me and i find it very hard to get up there to try anything so basically Lush is like a luxury pleasure for me to even get walking in to smell their amazing product and to try out.  

The thing is when I got the call I was put on the spot and had no idea what to try out.  So I told my friend I wanted to try out a few things up on a budget and to surprise me 

So He ended up getting advice from the lovely ladies who work there at Lush just off Grafton Street Dublin.  They were that helpful they even put on a display on how to use bath bombs etc :) He was actually very interested.  So he ended up bringing me home this lovely gift box which I instantly fell in love with because the box is sooooooooo girlie :)  

Isnt it so girlie :) and Reusable :)  I love it I love the colours I love the design everything :) 

Not only that but the ribbon is so cute and I can use it on my daughters hair :) 

Oh my goodness when I got this box into my hands I could hear a choir singing in the backround AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW :) :) 

Not only was i excited about the box but i was even more excited to realise that I had 5 products to try 5 of them 

So this little box of joy cost €27.50 altogether and what you are getting for that is the following :

• Think Pink Bath Ballistic
• The Comforter Bubble Bar 200g
• Vanilla Deelite 100g
• Rub Rub Rub shower scrub (140g)
• Gorgeous moisturiser (10g trial size)

So as the song goes "Hi ho Hi Ho its off to the bath I go" I just couldnt wait to try these babies out :) :) 

So How did and do I get on with these read on to find out :) 

So after my 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th bath I have come to a decision about these products and here is what I think and thought :) 

Think Pink Bath Ballistic on its own costs €3.75 

This is actually one of the best selling Bath Bombs sold by Lush.  The scent of this from the moment you take it out of the box is incredible.  Ladies this bath ballistic is definitely thought out for us for sure.  With the pink colour, the flowers and then the surprise love heart confetti inside this is all OURS :)  Not only is this bursting with the scent of Tonka and Vanilla but its also suitable for Vegans.  The scent of this is absolutely amazing......so amazing it floated all thought the house I could smell it in my hall, in my kitchen everywhere.  The pleasure of watching this bath bomb while I smelled the sweet aroma was amazing and then been surprised with the confetti put a smile on my face before I even jumped in.  

Just soaking in the bath was heaven and I will certainly be repurchasing this again for sure :) :) 

Next up is

Next up is :) 

The Comforter :) on its own this is €5.60 for a 200g bar

This is not a new product to me as I have tried it before :) :)   And I absolutely love this especially on my stress days or days I feel alot of tension.  You can use the whole bar in one bath or break it in 2 like I do.  This is literally what it says "A big Bubbly duvet" You just feel nothing but softness against your skin and the scent is to die for.  Try not to have a bath with this bar if you are feeling very tired because I can safely say you will fall asleep ( I know because I did once) I highly recommend this to all of you busy stressed out mums, workers etc :)  

Next up is the shower :) 

Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub on its own it costs €9.95 for 330g

I was super excited to see this in the box as I have never tried anything like this from Lush ok ok I havent tried alot but im getting there slowly haha.  Even though this is not full sized the amount I have got will do me a while believe me when I say a little goes a long way.  This is basically your everyday shower gel only better :)  Not only are you getting a shower gel but you are getting a gentle exfoliator for everyday use.  With one of the main ingredient been fine sea salt when you wash with this bad boy you feel so so so clean but without the harshness of a normal exfoiliator.  I love how Lush has made this in the colour blue setting the scene of the ocean ;) sea  salt + blue = ocean :) Love it.  

Other ingredients such as lemon juice, lemon oil Orange flower and Jasmine help make you feel refreshed and ready for the day 

The scent is very hard to explain but believe me its beautiful you get the scent of the lemon oil and lemon juice while you are washing which is also brilliant for taking away that dead skin but then when its on your skin a while you get a floral scent I absolutely love how I feel after using this and my skin has actually improved alot I dont suffer with as much dryness and you certain dont see the dry flakes I have been suffering with for a while now 

This will definitely be a big part of my life for sure :) 

Next up (is an absolute favourite of mine now)

Vanilla Dee-Lite Body Lotion normal size 250g for €16.75

I have to admit the moment I set eyes on this bottle of body lotion I kind of had my mind set on me not liking it.  I am not a huge fan of strong vanilla scents never was I dont mind a little vanilla but not full blown pure vanilla scents as the sweetness of it gives me headache for some reason.  I opened it up and instantly got the strong scent of vanilla but I decided i would try it out anyway as the scent says nothing about what the product can actually do does it? :)  Well now I am glad I tried it out because I AM IN LOVE with this product.  Oh my goodness Its amazing.  

This little bottle of joy is jammed with amazing ingredients such as extra virgin coconut oil and coconut but also it has kiwi which is full of vitamins and antioxidants.  This also helps to  dissolve dead cells.  This I found has rescued my skin so so much since i started to use it.  You know those areas such as your knees elbows around you hip area and feet that gets extra dryness I suffer so bad in them areas and since using this I found I have less dry flaky skin and more softness and moisture.  Another thing i love about this body lotion is that it soaks right into the skin but you feel completely moisturised all day and all night long and the scent??? I love it.  I love how the moment it hits your warm skin it smells like cupcakes when they are cooking in the oven mmmmmmm and it lingers a full day and night too I actually smell like vanilla cupcakes my kiddies are forever smelling me and it also lingers on your clothes until you wash them again :) BEAUTIFUL :) 

Lastly is 

Gorgeous Facial Moisturiser normal size 45g for €49.95

Wow this is one pricey package this is actually the most expensive moisturiser available in Lush.  I was afraid to try it incase I ended up loving it to be honest But they threw in a sample of their new moisturiser to try out.  I am actually going to quote some facts from the lush store to explain why this is the most expensive.  

• A loose emulsion, rather than a thick heavy one, means that the ingredients are available to the skin and free to sink in, rather than locked together.The oils are a combination that are rich enough to soften and moisturise the skin whilst leaving it feeling light and soft.
• The pineapple has enzymes which act on the skin whilst the lemon and orange will help the skin stay matte and naturally contain alpha hydroxy acids.
• Orange blossom honey soothes and moisturises the skin.Combine all of these benefits with the fact that we have the absolute minimum amount of preservative in here – just enough to keep the product pure but not too much to damage the natural micro-flora of your skin.We make this fresh, in small batches, and get it to our shops quickly – so you can buy it fresh and use it whilst it is still vital and active.Plant oils can be extracted by heat extraction or by cold pressing.  
• We have chosen expensive cold-pressed oils for this cream, so none of their natural properties have been damaged by the heat.

Using this cream I did find it effective and very moisturising not only that but my face looked amazing refreshed and moisturised and more awake.  I dont think to be honest I would go to the extent of wanting to buy it on a full time basis as i feel there are more affordable moisturiser out there that do the same thing but if you can afford this I would recommend trying it out :)  After all the history of this cream is going back to royalty :) 

So that is it phew that was alot to go through but overall I am super happy with everything I got from this box.  Its really great that I got to try out different products and got full sized and good sized samples of them all.  I have a couple of favourites that I do intend on buying again and that Vanilla Body Moisturiser is going to be a staple in my life for sure :) 

If you want something amazing a sort of self pampering kit for yourself "Hello Gorgeous" is the one for you.  Any men out there wondering what to bring home to you lovely ladies next get this box she will love it from the box itself to the contents in it.  She will smell amazing, feel amazing and thank you in alot of ways ;) maybe even treat you to a "Comforter" bath of your own sharing is caring ladies ;) Ok now shoo (in a nice way) Nina is in need for a bit a relaxation just me and my "Hello Gorgeous" Box :) 

not a pretty site lol ok stop laughing its not that funny hahahahaha 

Until next time (believe me there will be a next Lush time)

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My Lush Swap with Beauty bits & bobs

So Mary From Beauty bits & bobs and I were writing to each other on Facebook one day and she was telling me she spotted a lipstick from Catrice that she would love to get in time for her prom, that it would be so suitable for the type of make-up she was going to do.  Unfortunately Catrice is not available in England where she is from and i suggested to her as we are friends for a while now that i would get it for her and send it over :)  Thats where she suggested we do a swap and i thought YES id love to.  So i would send her over some goodies from Catrice and she would send me over items i cant get my hands on easily and the first thing i though of was LUSH :) because I only ever tried lush once (Shock) as The nearest Lush to me is about 40 miles away 

So we agreed to spend £20 each and this is literally what i got :) :) 

I told Mary i wasnt fussy about what she got me as i haven't really tried anything from there so i was curious to try anything :) 

She chose to send me the Very Berry Gift Box which contained 5 items :) :) Oh the Scent of the package when it was handed to me by the postman was out of this world and i asked him was his van all smelly and nice he replied "yeah it smells girly lol" 

Soooooooo what did i get in this box i hear you ask me :) 

Lush state:
Very Berry is a rock star among our gifts; it seems all we have to say is ‘sweet blackberry fragrance’ and everyone has to get their mitts on one! Every product in this fruity box can be layered with the other; hop in the bath with fizzy Blackberry Bath Bomb, cherry infused Happy Blooming bath melt and The Comforter bubble bar. Wash with a slice of Sultana and soften with our hibiscus infused Strawberry Feels Forever. Voila! You’ll smell like freshly picked blackberries and cream. 

In this little box of joy you are getting:

Blackberry Bath Bomb:  This is supposed to be the 1st ever bath bomb to be invented in 1989. Its the most bought bath bomb from Lush :) 
So you will believe me when i say i loved every moment of my bath when i used this oh my goodness the beautiful fruity scent was amazing while it fizzed away in the water i could not wait to jump in.  My bath water had turn a lovely shade of purple My Favourite Colour :) I was actually expecting bubble but go none :( ah well :) Awww it was just heaven lying in fruity goodness i was so darn relaxed :) I slept like a baby that night :) and imagine i could still get the scent of blackberry in my bathroom the next morning :) :) 

The Comforter:  Oh boy for the last 3 weeks especially i have been suffering alot with bad tension neck pain some days it gets so bad i end up getting migraine.  One of them days i needed a bath just to wind down and calm down and i had nothing for muscle pain.  So i thought i would give this little baby a go.  I wasnt expecting it to get rid of the tension pain but i expected it would do something for me as the name "The Comforter" had to stand for something eh? Or did it? 
Well i threw this into the bath while it was running a low and behold i seen bubbles :) yeeeeeee Now i only used half of this as it was a good sized bar 200g to be precise and im so glad i did now.  The scent of this reminded me of my kiddies blackcurrant fruit juice :) :) the shade of the bath water was a lilac shade and well when i dived into the bath it was one of those moments where i literally slid down into "Comfort" oh my goodness the softness of the bubbles felt amazing and it literally felt like i was floating on clouds to tell you the truth i fell asleep in the bath for 20 minutes lol 
I gave me such relief i actually felt like i had a full body massage and the tension had almost disappeared :) :) I am going the keep the other half until i have tension pains again and im looking forward to using it again :) 

Strawberry Feels Forever:  Ok please do not laugh at me when i say this ok, you promise? But i actually thought that this was a soap and was actually planning on using it as a soap when i looked again at my card i got with the box a realised it said massage bar.  Now you can imagine how silly i felt lol ( well i am practically a Lush Virgin you know :)  Anyways this IS a massage bar mainly for dry skin but anyone can use this.  I dont think i have to tell you what scent you get from it :) :) 
Lush state:  Massage bars serve double-duty as luxurious massage oil or after-shower body moisturizer. Glide the massage bar directly over dry skin; it will melt upon contact. Massage or rub the oils into the skin. As massage bars are made with natural butters and oils, take care to ensure they absorb completely before putting on your best silk pj’s. Massage bars melt at body temperature, so be sure to keep yours somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight.
Oh my goodness the first time i used this i was amazed :)  I used this straight after coming out of my shower i rubbed this between my hands and indeed within second the heat from my hand melted enough from the bar to moisturise both my arms :) :)  This is so super moisturising that it take a little longer than my normal moisturiser to absorb actually it took about 10 minutes to completely absorb enough for me to get dressed :)  I liked how soft my skin felt after i used it and how sweet i smelled.  To be honest the only downfall i would have is that its kind of awkward to find somewhere to put it after using it but if you were a regular buyer of the massage bars you could buy a little container to store them in :) 

Happy Blooming Bath Melt:   Now Guess what i actually figured out on my own that you get 3 baths for the price of one with this one (awww i bet you are all so proud of me hehehe)  lol 
I havent actually got to use this yet but plan soon so i will let you all know how i get on :) 

Sultana of soap:  It looks like a slice of cake doesnt it :) I wish :) or soft cheese :) 
Anyway there is Dried apricots, Dried currants, cranberries & coconut oil along with other ingredients in this soap.  Apricots are rich in beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant, minerals and potassium,  Cranberries are known to contain anti-aging properties which is what we all like yes?  So you will understand it when i tell you that i love this soap.  Oh my goodness such a pleasure to wash with this little beauty everyday.  This is not like any ordinary soap you buy in your local store no way it gives the most incredible creamy lather and leaves your skin silky smooth mmmmm and the fruity scent is incredible this is definitely perfect for anyone who suffers dry skin as the coconut oil which is in this soap acts like a moisturiser so you will have no fear of feeling that horrible tightness when you jump out of your shower :) 

Oh dear words cant even explain the enjoyment i have had in the last few weeks in my bathroom ;) lol But sure enough my enjoyment will soon be coming to an end as i am nearly finished my Lush adventure.  *Sniff*
I truth enjoyed every one of the products from this gift set.  If you are a fruity/sweet scent lover you will love these too :) 
Thanks so much to Mary for doing this swap with me I really enjoyed trying all my new items :) 
If you have a moment go check out her blog.  She took a little break away from it but planning on hitting back at it with a review on the items i sent her :) :) 
Whats your favourite Lush product? I might get some ideas for when ever i do get to go there :) 
Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter
