Lush Phoenix Rising Bath Bomb

 So i recently bought the Phoenix Rising Bath Bomb at £3.15 from lush it was a last minute by as it just looked so pretty !

Lush Say - .

Your phoenix will sink to the bottom then rise in triumph, her mythical sparkling purple and green plumage unfurling through your bath water. 

She’ll release gentle shea butter, cocoa butter and jojoba oil to leave your skin feather-soft. Exotic essential oils of fruit and spices take your mind on a flight of fancy to distant shores where you are lying on a beach drinking spiced rum. 

Actually, you won’t want to rise again from this bath – you’ll want to just stay on in there gliding on the dream! The phoenix is often quoted as using cinnamon sticks to make her nest. So we’ve topped this ballistic with some, so she has some handy nesting material, should she wish to stick around at yours for a while. Meanwhile, it will also add to the delicate spiciness of your bath.

I say -

Whilst the bath bomb was beautiful and did leave my bath a lovely purple colour and my skin soft there was something that i cant put my finger on ! I did enjoy using it but i don't think i would be in a rush to buy it again. The cinnamon on top of the bath bomb had no smell and where just like pieces of wood in my bath which i quickly scooped out. The smell wasn't that of cocoa butter or jojoba oil but just of a general soap smell !

It did however leave my skin feather soft.

Overall verdict 6/10 - Not what lush promises but an overall nice bath :)

Better than LUSH? ... Bomb Cosmetic

So for Christmas I bought  my mum some bomb cosmetics off Amazon and they where amazing !!!!!


The smell and feel they left on your skin where much higher than LUSH !!! They came in a lovely box all wrapped up in straw and you could smell the product as soon as the post man handed it to me !! I wish i had done a review on my mums box but unfortunately i wasn't blogging then !! Bomb cosmetics is definitely worth it and i believe BETTER THAN LUSH !!!

What they say -

At Bomb Cosmetics we take the art of bathing seriously. Whether you want to relax after a hard day, refresh yourself before you go out or just lock yourself away for a little pamper time, we have designed our products with all of these situations in mind.

Our aim is to make products that make you feel special every time you use them. We combine fragrances that make your mouth water, or remind you of special times, or simply make you smell divine.

And to compliment our fragrances, we use natural ingredients like Shea Fruit Butter, rare oils like Gold of Pleasure and the finest essential oils such as Jasmine Flower oil, made from petals picked before sunrise and Rose Otto, distilled from Bulgarian Rose petals.

The way we make our products is very simple - we make everything by hand. All of our products are mixed, pressed, moulded, rolled and shaped by hand. We don't use anyone else to make our products and all of our products are made in our factories by our own trained staff. This way, we make sure our product quality is of the highest order.

But being a little selfish and enjoying some "me time" doesn't need to come at a price to the environment.

We believe that animals shouldn't suffer because we choose to take these little pleasures in life, and that we should minimise our impact on the environment as much as possible.

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

So fist things first this lip scrub is edible !!! I cant stop licking it off my lips :)

so........

The pink all things girly, bubblegum flavour lip scrub buy lush retails at £4.95 a bit pricey when you can make it yourself dead easy !! 

But......

The lip Scrub Clears dead skin and flakiness from lips, leaving them moisturised and smooth. (Be carefull when applying it to chapped lips)

It;s made from castor sugar to act as a gentle scrub and jojoba oil to be wonderfully moisturising but light enough not to leave you feeling greasy.

It keeps lips in tip top condition, for kissing, pouting, talking or anything else you wish to do with them ;) (sorry couldn't resist)

The lip scrub also provides a great base for lipstick, which looks much better on smooth prepared lips.

Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment Luxury Bath Melt

What lush says....

'Great for dry skin, as the almond oil and cocoa butter will leave your skin silky smmmooth. Also the chamomile, marigold and marshmallow all help to calm irritated or delicate skin types. 

If you love our sweet products like Snow Fairy Shower Gel and Godmother Soap, you’ll be pleased to know that this has the same fragrance. 

Traditional healers and herbalists have used marshmallow herb since ancient times. Its botanical name derives from the Greek word althein which means ‘to heal’.  '

How to use

Watch it slowly melt away to leave you surrounded in a silky smooth bath of exquisite oils and fragrances.

What i say..... This bath bomb is lovely!! I bought it when i went to pay and i was swayed into buying it, and i am grateful i did. The smell is lovely and it leaves your skin sooooo soft. I love the way it foamed the bath up and i could see and feel it fix in my hands and i also loved how pink it left my bath :) The pictures don’t do it justice. This bath bomb is £3.45 and i will definitely be buying it again.

Lush so white bath bomb

One of my Christmas present was a lush bath bomb :) I am a fan of lush but I usually only use it for presents or treats for myself as some of it can be a bit pricey :(

Anyway so for Christmas I got the 'so white' lush bomb In my stocking and I used it last night :)

The first think I noticed was the size of the bath bomb it was actually really big and so took a good 5-10 mins to fully dissolve. Lush says that is smells of apple, rose bergamont and neroli whatever the last two smell of :/ I have no idea ! Ha

When I put it in the bath I could hear it, see it fizz and see it make the bath foamy . It smelt really fresh and clean almost like a clothes softener I couldn't smell the apple Or rose and I don't know what the other two smell like so maybe they where in it ! It made the bath feel as though I had added bath oils but without the effect oil has on your hair etc.

Overall it left a really soft feel to my skin and the smell of it was really nice :) I would buy it again :)
