The BB Seaweed Face Mask contains Lime Tree Flowers, Seaweed, Honey, and Roses to treat all skin types. It costs $6.95, which is a little pricey for this small thing but it was still a nice purchase considering all of the fresh ingredients inside.
When you open it up it does look and smell a little like glue and expired milk (yes i did refrigerate it) but you know, what else can you expect from a fresh face mask that contains seaweed?
I first used this product yesterday before my beautiful Lush bath, and I kept it on for let's say about 50 minutes? I washed it off in the bathtub because I realized that was the easiest way to scrub it off and it came off very easily so A+ Face Mask!
When I took the mask off my skin literally felt like a baby's bottom. It felt so smooth and silky and all of my disgusting pores were gone! GONE! It was a miracle considering the fact that it cost $6.95 to make my pores disappear when I spent loads of money on different home treatments and remedies that did nothing to my skin.
Overall, I would give this Fresh Face Mask a whopping 4/5 as it did exactly what it was supposed to. The only downside about this product is the smell because it does linger on your face for some while and it's not really pleasant. Other than that, this product is amazing and I 100% recommend you go and buy yourself a pot at Lush! (If you buy 5 of these babies and return the pots empty and clean you get a free face mask!)

The Rose Queen Bath Bomb was the first Bath Bomb I was super excited to try out. The look out of the bomb and the description got me interested and I had a huge urge to see what this rose bath bomb would look like in the water. Let's just say, I wasn't disappointed.
This Bath Bomb contains rose petals from a blue mallow flower, a tiger lily, a honeysuckle, an apple blossom, and an amaranth, giving you a really girly and earthy vibe. It also smells just like you'd expect it to, like roses and nature. This bath bomb basically makes you feel like Mother Nature.
When you pop this into your tub it gives off a wonderful rose aroma and gives off bursts of pinks and petals. This is one of the faster fizzing bath bombs but is still a great one to get. Not only does it make you feel like you're in a rose garden, but it also moisturizes your skin very well and leaves you smelling nice and pretty the rest of the night. I would recommend this bomb for any time of the year, but preferably during the Spring and the Summer as it will make you smell like the flowers in your backyard.
Overall, I would give this bath bomb a 4/5 for it's wonderful presentation and aroma. I totally recommend that you give this one a try for yourself!

The Space Girl bath bomb contains Grapefruit Oil, Bergamont Oil, Popping Candy, and Almond Essential Oil. It has a really light fragrance and smells of lavender and the slightest bit of citrus. Priced at $5.25, this is definitely one of the cheapest bombs at Lush which is why I decided to give it a go, why not?
The bath bomb that I picked up at my local lush did not look anything like the picture on Lush's website. Instead, it looked exactly like the picture above. I later found out that there are many different designs for the Space Girl bomb depending on where you live, example being that the ones in the UK have a sandy violet look with tiny specks of red glitter.
Right as it hit the water in my tub, it fizzed and produced a glittery lilac color. In all honestly, the way I described it now actually sounds more interesting than the actual bombs color. The color did look glittery and lilacy but not as pretty as you expect. It was a very boring lilac, and you could only see the specks of glitter if you shone a light on it, which really disappointed me. Another sad thing about this bomb is that the scent disappears as you drop in the water. Definitely being the most plain bath bomb I have ever tried. Though, the appearance of the bomb isn't bad at all it's actually one of the reasons why I wanted to try the bomb!
Overall, I would give this bath bomb a 2 out of 5 just for the appearance. I know plenty of people who enjoy this bomb but it was too dull for my taste. I might try this again with a bubble bar or a bath melt just to make the experience better and more colorful, but until then this is my least favorite bath bomb on the Lush market.

Bath Bombs - Lush has created the new Secret Garden bath bomb this year for all of floral scented lovers.

The next bomb for this year is the Rose Bombshell. The Rose Bombshell is priced at $7.95 and is one of the larger bombs. It smells of strong roses and contains soya milk and rose oil to moisturize your skin. This bomb also contains flower petals and creates a beautiful pink bubbly bath.

This is still a nice bubble bar and is on the cheaper side, for only $4.95. The other Bubble Bar for this year is the Mother Superior Bubble Bar containing orange blossom citrus for smooth skin. This bubble bar is absolutely wonderful and smells of jasmine and citrus. It turns your bath into a blue, bubbly, sea of gorgeousness and leaves you feeling refreshed and ready to start the day!

Easter 2015
Best of Lush's Easter Products 2015
Gift Set - Carrot Gift! Carrot Gift is a perfect gift set because it is slightly more affordable then the other gift sets, contains many great products, and comes in a cute wrapped carrot. This gift set contains Lush's Carrot Soap, Bunch of Carrots Reusable Bubble Bar, and the Golden Egg Bath Bomb. All of these products contain a sweet, citrusy scent and are a perfect gift to your loved one for Easter!
Vegan? Yes
Price: $34.95
Bath Bomb - The Immaculate Eggception Pink and Yellow! This bath bomb is absolutely wonderful! If you didn't know this already, this bath bomb is actually 3 bath bombs in one! (Crazy huh?!) Basically what you do when you purchase it, is you whack it in half to reveal two sides of the egg (both acting as a separate bath bomb) and a mini chick or bunny bath bomb in the center. This bath bomb smells of delicious grapefruit and citrus, and is great for the skin. When you drop the pink one in the tub it produces orange and pink color. When you drop the yellow one in it produces a sort of similar color but more of a yellowish gold then an orangey pink. This would be an amazing Easter gift for people who don't or can't eat chocolate.
Vegan? Yes
Price: $12.95
Size: 8.6 oz
Bubble Bar - Bunny Bubble Bar! I can admit that this year's Easter Bubble Bars weren't the BEST but the Bunny Bubble Bar was still good enough to make the list. Producing the same scent as the delicious Creamy Candy Bubble Bar, this Bubble Bar smells too sweet to resist! It contains blue cornflower petals that float in your bath (even though some people have complained that their bubble bar didn't contain cornflower petals) and a pink bubble bar mix. It turns your bath a really pretty pink color and, for the lucky ones, hat floating cornflower petals. This is a really nice bubble bar and a splendid gift for Easter!
Vegan? Yes
Soap - Unfortunately I couldn't really say there was a "best" soap this year. Somewhere Over the Rainbow had a very faint scent and just wasn't for me. Carrot Soap took the moisture away from your skin, and didn't have that nice of a scent. I was really looking forward to the Lush soaps this year but I guess we will have to wait for next year to get blown away!
What to buy if you're new at Lush
If you're new to Lush, you're probably confused with what their products even ARE. So let me introduce them to you!
Bath Bombs
Bath Bombs are bath products that come in many different sizes, shapes, and colors. To use them, you fill up your bath with warm water and pop it in. It starts to produce different colors and effects and turns your bath water into a beautiful sight. They come in different scents so you can choose if you'd like a lavender bath, or say, an apple scented bath! Some even contain different surprises such as rose petals and seaweed inside, but if you don't want those in your bath I have a tutorial on how to avoid them HERE . They also contain mainly vegan ingredients and natural products to exfoliate your beautiful skin.
Bubble Bars
Bubble Bars are also bath products that create a fun and relaxing bath. To use them, you simply crumble it up under running water, and instantly it creates beautiful and colorful bubbles! They come in different scents, shapes, and sizes and are perfect for a nice long soak. The best part is, you can cut them in pieces and get many uses out of them! (Cha Ching!)
Soaps & Shower Gels
You probably already know what soaps and shower gels are, but Lush's is like no other! Their soaps are GIANT and colorful and great for your skin. You can also use them as body wash and shampoo! (SHAMPOO!) So you definitely get many uses out of them. They also come in different scents and designs as well so feel free to choose whichever one you prefer. Their shower gels come in plastic containers, and contain many natural and vegan ingredients. They also come in different sizes, and can be used as body wash and shampoo. Great Stuff!
And those are pretty much most of their popular products. NOW, if you're new to Lush and you have no idea what to buy, simply read my descriptions above, decide which product sounds best to you, walk into Lush proudly, and start sniffing to see which one smells the best! After you do that, buy it, try it out and tell me your experience with it in the comments below! If you didn't like it you could try different products, or try a different scent of that product. That's all there is to it! Enjoy your first Lush product!
How to avoid getting bath bomb pieces in your tub
1. Grab a towel, shirt, or flannel that you don't mind staining, and wrap it around your bath bomb.
2. Fill your bath tub with warm water as usual, and drop the bath bomb in with the towel around it.
3. Wait until all the color is in your tub, and throw the remaining bath bomb chunks away.
Ta da!
How to save money at Lush
1. Buy a solid shampoo! These are wonderful for your hair and contain amazing, refreshing products. The best part about this is that you can get about 60+ uses out of them!
2. Try to buy things that you can cut up, such as large bath bombs and bubble bars so you can get many uses out of them.
3. Buy some multi-purpose products! For example, Lush's shampoos are not only great for hair but also for your body. There are also many other products that are made for more than one use so stock up on them!
4. Don't forget about Lush's sales! Lush has sales after every holiday, and on boxing day (It's buy one get 1 free!) so make sure to buy during those times.
5. Try out their shower jellies! If you cut them up into 1 inch pieces you can get 40+ uses out of them! (Crazy huh?)
6. Try making your own bath bombs! I have a tutorial HERE for that, and they're super fun and easy to make so why not give it a try?
7. Another thing that has many uses, are bubble bars! Yes, you heard right! Bubble bars can not only be used for wonderful bubble baths, but also as shower gels and soaps! Just cut off a bit of a bubble bar, and lather it onto a loofah.
8. And my last tip is to order off of Lush UK. Lush's UK website is so much cheaper than it is here in the U.S and sometimes they even have different products then what we have here in the U.S, so it's a great deal!
How to store your Lush products
1. Try to find a storage bin or box in your house, or buy a cute one from Target, Dollar Tree, Walmart, Micheal's, etc. (You can also buy a hanging fruit basket for a creative look)
2. Decide on an area where you would like to store your products. It can be in your bathroom, your bedroom, your living room, anywhere you'd prefer. (Just make sure it isn't in a heated area!)
3. Wrap all your bath bombs and bubble bars with plastic wrap, or put it in a Ziploc bag. You can also cut your bubble bars and bath bombs in half if you need more space.
4. Add your products to the bin and place them around wherever you think looks the best. (I personally think it looks best on a bathroom sink)
5. Surround the bin with your other products such as lotions, face masks, shower gels, etc. And Ta Da! You have now stored your Lush products!
