LUSH - Bar Humbug Bubble Bar - REVIEW

I'm writing a quick review of the Bar Humbug Bubble Bar from Lush.

I was super excited to try this bubble bar, it smells like liquorice and looks amazing! 

I cut mine in half for two baths but I think you could definitely cut it into three peices as it creates lots and lots of lovely bubbles. I was just feeling greedy! 


I instantly fell in love with this bubble bar as I started running it under the tap, it turned my bath water purple and I loved the slight amount of silver shimmer running through the water, just enough to look pretty. 

The scent is strong but not headache inducing, just enough to stay with you through out your bubble bath! 

I'll definitely be picking up a few more bars before the Christmas stock disappears! 

Have you tried Bar Humbug? Are you hoping for anything from LUSH for Christmas?

LUSH Halloween and Christmas Haul

Hello Lovely Ladies! 

I apologise for being away so long, some of you may know that my mother is very ill and I'm her full time carer so I don't have a lot of time in the day anymore but I've missed blogging so I'm going to try hard to write about my favourite things again!
   

So as most of you may know, LUSH recently released their Halloween and Christmas range which I was super excited for! It's my favourite time of year to shop at lush. 

From the Christmas Range This year I made sure to purchase a big bottle of the famous Rose Jam Shower Gel. I didn't bother getting a bottle last year and really regretted it. This year they're making 1kg sizes of our favourite shower gels so I invested in one! I'm in love with the scent.  

The next thing I bought was the Bar Hum bug Bubble Bar which I was dying to try, it's liquorice scented. I can't wait to crumple it up in the tub and enjoy a gorgeous purple bath. 

Next is the Yog Nog Bath Bomb, I adorned the soap last year so I was really excited and happy to see them release something else with the same scent. Everyone's raving about this one on Instagram! It has little melts on the inside so it's supposed to be super moisturising. I hope they release a shower gel with the same scent at some point! 

I also bought a Peeping Santa bubble bar which I've never tried, it's very fruity/sweet scented! It's lovely and bigger than what I expected which is always a good thing! 

I made sure to pick up a Cinders bath bomb which was one of the first lush products I ever tried! It's a gorgeous 'Christmasy' scent with star anise and clove. It also has popping candy! I love to use this on Bonfire Night! 

Next is the Magic Of Christmas Bubble Bar, I was again really excited to hear about this release, it's a lot sweeter and less spicier than I expected it to be but again it's a gorgeous scent that I can't wait to use. 

The last thing I bought from the Christmas Range was the Holly-Go-Lightly Bubble Bar which was my favourite last year! If you know the scent Hot Toddy from LUSH, that's what this smells like! I was gutted to hear they wouldn't be bringing out the Hot Toddy Shower Gel this year but this bubble bar made up for it! It's very big so you can have about four baths and it makes the water bright green! 


Onto the products I bought from the Halloween Range. 

This year they brought out the Lord Of Misrule Shower Gel along with the bath bomb so I made sure to buy a big bottle, it's a really interesting and addictive spicy scent! I love it. The bath bomb is amazing!! If you haven't tried it yet I suggest you pick it up if you pass a store soon. 

I also managed to pick up a Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar which has a gorgeous fruit scent, it's a gorgeous products but it gets gold lister EVERYWHERE! I don't mind though! :) 

So that's everything I've bought from LUSH so far, I'm hopefully going to pick up a few more things from the Christmas range soon, including a big bottle of Snow Fairy! 

Have you bought anything from the LISH winter range? What's your favourite so far?!

Collective Yankee Candle Haul


Hullo Ladies!

It's been a long time since I've posted anything on this blog. My mothers been very ill lately and I haven't got as much free time as I used to so blogging has had to be put on hold for the last few months.

Recently though I felt the need to write about my latest addiction which is Yankee Candles.

I bought my first Yankee Candle just before Christmas called Snowflake Cookie and loved it but since then I've bought many more!



Cappuccino Truffle is one of thier latest releases for 2015 and it smells amazing. It's reminds me of the Thornton's Cappuccino chocolates which I used to buy a bag of every time I went shopping in West Wales when I was younger. 

Smelling it from the jar it seems very strong, I don't know how well it burns yet though. I can't wait to find out :-) 



Another new scent for 2015 Pain Au Raisin is a gorgeous bakery scent. I didn't know what to think about this scent which is why I chose the tart form. I melted it last night though and bought the large jar of it online this morning. It smells so good, my bedroom smells like a bakery right now! 


A few weeks ago I bought a medium size jar of Summer Scoop which I'm excited to burn in the warmer months because it smells like raspberry ripple ice cream! 


Another new scent from Yankee Candle Red Raspberry is a gorgeous fruity raspberry jam scent.
When I first smelt it in the store I wasn't too fussed but I couldn't stop smelling it whenever I passed. If you'rr a fan of fruity scents it's definitely one you should try.



Strawberry Buttercream is a popular scent from Yankee Candle, I've been burning this a lot lately and everyone who's come into the house has commented on it. It's a very sweet strawberry's and cream scent. The smell fills a large room too which is always a great thing, so I burn it in my living room. 



Jelly Beans is an Easter Limited Edition scent and it smells like a bag of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans. Which I LOVE! I've always been a big fan of Jelly Beans so I knew this one was meant to be mine. It's such a pretty Jar though I'm scared to burn it! Haha! 



Last but not least is Sweet Strawberry which I've been meaning to pick up for ages! Its a gorgeous sugary strawberry scent. It will be interesting to see how powerful this candle is, I can't wait to burn it :-) 


Even though some of the time I get my Yankee Candles from a store I also buy most of them on Amazon and Ebay at a great discount so shop around if you're looking to buy one! 

What's your favourite Yankee Candle?

Mine happens to be Christmas Cookie but Pain Au Raisin is quickly becoming a new favourite.
