Lush #2 The Comforter

Meet Lush's Comforter, a very pretty pink swirled bubble bar that smells of berries yet the design reminds me off Campino strawberry and cream sweets. I used this bubble bar on friday after my shift at work and thoroughly enjoyed sitting back and relaxing while the scents and oils enveloped my tired and aching body.
I did only use a small part of this bubble bar, as you can see from the picture below, which gave more than enough bubbles and scent payoff thus leaving me with more than 3 1/4 of the bar left to enjoy for future baths.
So I crumbled the Comforter under the faucet and watched as it turned my bath water a beautiful deep pink with soft berrylicious bubbles rising upon the surface. The scents that reached my nose made me smile and allowed me to settle under a soft blanket of berry goodness.

The Comforter has a beautiful berry scent that fills the room with it's scent and so providing a relaxing yet upbeat and inviting environment. This bubble bar really does remind me of a day out picking ripe blackberries under the gentle beating Autumn sun. Sounds fab doesn't it.
This bubble bar is perfect for any time of the year and really does allow you to relax while the oils and bubbles provide a comforting experience. Yes, pun intended.
This bubble bar contains several different oils ranging from Bergamot, Blackcurrant to Evergreen which all appear to work well in this bubble bar. The berry scent remained on my skin for a while afterwards and my skin felt so lush. My skin was really moisturised, I still used my Cocoa De Mer body butter though, and it still felt smooth the next morning.

I am thoroughly happy with the Comforter and can't wait to use it again. I can easily see that this one will be a regular purchase each time I buy from Lush.

So have you used the Comforter? What is your opinion? Let me know in the comments below

Blush Crush Giveaway Win

Last sunday the lovely Chloe of Blushcrush sent an email notifying me that I had won her Lush giveaway. I literally could not believe my eyes and remember having to refrain myself from shouting out with glee from our windows. It's the first giveaway I have ever won and it seriously made my weekend extra special.

The prize that I had won, which came on saturday, was the Bunty Pink gift set from Lush and each item is something that I have never tried - only due to not having a local Lush store near me! The Bunty Pink gift set comes with two bath ballistics and two bubble bars which all smell absolutely amazing. 

The actual wrapping paper on this gift set is very girly, which is totally me, and I just haven't the heart to chuck it away. I guess I could use it for a background for when I take photo's of my products, what do you think?

Well without further ado, let's take a look at what's inside my Bunty box

A great little mini addition of the Lush Times

Clockwise from top left; Keep It Fluffy, Creamy Candy, Butterball and Comforter 

Im really looking forward to trying Butterball after reading some great reviews about it. Butterball smells amazing, Vanilla is by far the top scent, and is known for it's moisturising properties due to containing cocoa butter. I also love the simplicity of this ballistic; a simple colour with extra dashings of colour here and there.

Keep It Fluffy is the other bath ballistic in this set and I love the design. It's such a pretty ballistic with the white ring, which funnily enough reminds me of a planet, running through a beautiful lilac. Keep It Fluffy has hints of Jasmine and is known to smell like Vanilla and Lavender once it was been placed in the water. Im really looking forward to using it and a full length review with pictures will following shortly.

Creamy Candy is a lovely sweet smelling bubble bar with hints of vanilla and candy floss. It contains Almond Oil and Cocoa Butter to help moisturise the skin and to provide a soft, creamy and relaxing bath. How pretty is this bubble bar? This is by far my favourite and I am really excited about using it. I just love the wee flower on top. So sweet!! I am planning to break this bubble bar into several pieces so I can have several bubble ridden baths instead of just one.

Last but no way least is the Comforter a well known bubble bar that smells deliciously of blackberries and is know to very comforting 'yes, pun intended'. This bubble bar is the mini version of the classic hit but I'm still sure it still smacks punch just like it's larger brother. I still plan to break this one up so I can several blackberry scented baths instead of just one. 

As soon as I start to use these products, which will be very soon, I will take photo's of them in action and write a lengthy honest review based on the products performance. If you would like to see past Lush review based on my Abombinaball then please click on the link provided. 

I just want to thank Chloe for holding this giveaway in the first place. I am truly happy that I won and thank you for giving us all the chance too. You are a fantastic, funny person who I have enjoyed chatting to over the past couple of days. Your blog is fantastically entertaining and you always strive to achieve a happy, comforting experience on your blog. So thank you Chloe =)

Lush #1 Abombinaball

I purchased this little guy during the January sale at Lush meaning I got him for half price. If I am correct, and remembering properly, I only paid around £1.50 which is a total steal for a great sized bath bomb. He easily was the size of my palm and actually was quiet a handful when attempting to put him safely in my bag.

This smiling fella is only available during the Christmas season but I am sure there is a dupe that runs throughout the year which has a similar scent payoff.

Now I used Abombinaball on a friday, this was after completing a whole week of early shifts starting at 06.45 and finishing at 13.15. I was knackered, my body was hurting and I knew my smiling, dazzing Abombinaball would make my weekend go off with a nice fizzing minty boom. So I placed him in my bath and watched as he took off slowly fizzing away filling the room with a beautiful fresh minty scent as well as changing the water colour from a beautiful sea green to a relaxing azure blue. It was as if i was sitting on a long sandy beach watching the soft blue waves lapping gently against my feet with the beautiful fresh scents filling my senses.
Ah man, just re-thinking about it just makes me want to go on holiday ...

So Abombinaball has a lovely minty and vanilla based scent that really does make the entire bathroom smell fresh and inviting. I really do love fresh scents, along with those citrus and sweet scents, as it reminds me of being outdoors somewhere I like to be the majority of the time.
Abombinaball contains Peppermint oil, Vanilla Absolute and Orange oil which moisturised my skin really well. My skin felt so soft and smooth after bathing and the scent lasted for a good few hours. My husband commented on how my skin felt and spent the majority of the evening stroking my legs.

I really can't wait to get my mitts on this little guy during the Christmas season. I plan too, as Lush put it, capture myself a few before they vanish again. Not only is he very cute but smells amazing; he is also quiet a different product on the Lush bath bomb range, the majority of which have a sweeter, floral or citrus based scent.

So what do you guys think? Have you tried the Abombinaball yet? Do you plan to? Also do you like my collages? I believe it's an easier way to show a collection of pictures together without having to upload them separately. Let me know in the comments below =)
