Hello Lovelies,
It's almost that time of year again - Valentines Day! Whether you're spending it with a partner or sitting watching Love Actually with your girlfriends eating Ben & Jerry's, the one thing everyone can look forward to is the Lush Exclusive Valentines Day Collection.
As you can see from my many blog posts featuring Lush, their products are a firm staple in my beauty collection. A firm advocate for ethical products, Lush use no products or suppliers that test on animals and use naked packaging to protect our beautiful world!
With some returning products and some brand new ones, I have picked my favourites from this years collection and thought I'd share with you what I thought!
£3.65
Containing Frangipani Absolute, Organic Shea Butter, Geranium Oil and Fair Trade Vanilla Absolute, this bubbleroon will do wonders for your skin. The shea butter left my skin feeling mosturised and hydrated. This smushy little bubbleroon will turn your water a bright, passionate red, perfect for a little Valentine's soak.
On another note, I have heard that the dye in this is incredibly strong, and those with blonde hair (especially naturals like me) have emerged from the bath with pink hair! As its not work the risk, I tied my hair up and didn't let it touch the water. I'd research that more though.

A top favourite for Lush this year, this bath bomb is just filled with essential oils. Even though the formulae of this is quite crumbly, I reckon you could get a few baths out of this if you're stingy with the product. I adore the floral scents (quite heavily fragranced so not for you if you prefer softer scents) and the rainbow of colour it produced in my bath! I must admit, the little pockets of yellow in the pink did put me off a bit as it resembles mould! But I assure you, there's nothing to worry about.
£3.50
This lovely bubble bar will turn your bath water a lascivious red, and scent it with lemongrass, bergamot, jasmine and ylang ylang. There's also a coating of golden lustre on this bubble bar, which I wasn't too sure about. I usually avoid the glittery lush products, but I was pleasantly supposed. I think the beautiful scent won me over. I think you could get about 2 baths out of this - possibly 3 if you're sparing. and plenty of cornflour to keep your skin soft.
£3.25
From what I've heard and when speaking to one of my friends who works in Lush, this has been the most popular Valentines Day exclusive product. At first, I couldn't really understand why. I'm not a big fan of bright colours, the candy stars, the design or bubble bars in general to be honest. I much prefer a bath bomb. However, whilst browsing in store for which ones I thought I'd love and want to share with you, the scent just won me over. It contains Ylang Ylang Oil, Neroli Oil and a very potent Lavender Oil. Many might find one overbearing, but because I love lavender, I do - and it seems others do too.

As I mentioned before, there are some products here that I haven't mentioned, either because they're reoccurring products from last year, or they just didn't take my fancy.
£4.75 - 100g
I bought this from last years range and just really didn't like it! I actually ended up throwing it away! with marshmallow root and vanilla, it was just far too sweet for me.
£6.95
Also from last year, I purchased this and just wasn't a fan. I don't particularly like the candy hearts, and although it says you get 3 baths out of it, it just didn't wow me enough. Again very sweet scents.
£5.50
New this year, I am a big fan of the Mint Julips lip scrub. However, this one features both sugar and salt, with also a lot harsher texture on the lips. This just didn't appeal to me.
£17.00 - 500g
This was actually first on my list to purchase. I am a huge fan of lush soaps because I suffer from breakouts of Eczema in the winter, I can't use synthetic soaps. Bergamot and rosewood work together to create a rich scent, whilst fresh figs, passion fruit juice and soya yoghurt nourish and soften the skin. I used it as soon as I got home and have every day since!
Let me know below what your favourite products from this range are and which ones you were glad to see not return!
I hope whatever you're doing this St Valentines Day is special!
All My Love
