Lush - Christmas & Boxing Day Haul

As promised, here's my Lush haul, this includes the gifts I received for Christmas, and also what I bought myself during their big sale (which was amazing!) Although I already mentioned it in my Christmas gift post, I'll say it again. I'm extremely grateful for all my gifts, and I'm not trying to show off in any way.

I'll start first with what I got for Christmas. I received pretty much all of these from my boyfriend for Christmas, because he let me pick my gifts, and as this is my favourite shop, I wanted quite a lot!

I decided I wanted to choose one of the gift boxes, and as it's my favourite, I decided on Snow Fairy. I love the soap and the shower gel already, and I haven't used one of the Shimmy Shimmy Glitter Bar's in years, so I was really happy that I got to try one out again.

One of my friends also got me a bottle of Snow Fairy which I'm very happy about, you can never have too much, ever! I then got the Popcorn lip scrub, because every person and their dog has raved about it and I needed to have it!

Something I've been lusting after for actual months, was the Imogen Rose solid perfume. They sell it in a bottle as well, but it was the solid perfume that I wanted, which is surprising as I've never owned one before. This smells so amazing, and smells even after after it's been on your skin for a while. I'll be doing a review on this very soon! You can buy it by clicking here.

The first bar of soap (at the top) is Angels Delight, there will be more on that further down as I bought this myself.

Karma is the second bar, and I've always wanted to buy this, but for some weird reason, I never have. I adore this scent in the shampoo bar, so I'm glad I finally have my hands on the soap. You can buy it by clicking here.

Finally, the last soap I received with Rock Star. The label has came off this, but you can definitely tell from the scent which soap it is. This has always been a favourite of mine, and is the one I always choose for a present for people as it just smells so good. You can buy it by clicking here.

I got some really good bargains in the Lush sale, and I was so happy afterwards (it's like a shopping high). They had 50% off all their Christmas products, and also off some regular priced products. When I went into the store, every single inch had a person in it, and it was nearly impossible to move. Everyone was going for all the gift boxes so naturally I went there first as I knew they were great value.

The one I ended up with (after much thought, and swapping about) was Jolly Hollydays. It cost me only £12.75!

One of my friends got me the Sandy Santa for Christmas (I somehow forgot to put this in my overall photo), but I also got one in this box. I decided on this one in the end as it had three products which I hadn't tried before. I already love the smell of the Karma shampoo so I know I'll love the soap. I can't wait to try all my new things!

I love the Fair Trade Honey Shampoo (you can read a review by clicking here) so I was delighted when I saw it on sale for half price. I ended up getting the 300g bottle for £7 and I had ran out so this was a great bargain. You can buy it full price by clicking here.

My boyfriend got me a large version of the Twilight shower gel, and I love the smell so much that I bought a mini bottle just for whenever I run out.

I love trying new cleansers, so as it was half price I decided to try the Buche De Noel one which I found as I was checking out at the till. Hopefully it's good (although nothing can beat Angels on Bare Skin).

Next was the Angels Delight soap. I bought this last year and hadn't restocked at all this year, so since it was half price I thought I might as well. It smells so lovely and sweet!

You all know already that I love Full of Grace, there's a review if you click here. Half price? Why not!? I paid £3.90, but you can buy it full price by clicking here.

I'd been wanting to try one of these toners for a while, so I picked up Breath of Fresh Air and I've been using it every day since. I can't believe how much make up there is still left on my skin after I take it off at night. I'll definitely be repurchasing this! It cost me £3.95 but you can buy it full price by clicking here.

I have it included in the photograph, but it wasn't half price, but I also bought Grease Lightning because I'd been wanting to try it. I'll be doing a review on it soon, but if you want to go ahead and buy it anyway, click here.

There you have it, my long list of Lush products. I really won't need to buy anymore for a while, but well, I probably will.... Although I definitely don't think I need any shower gel or soap for a good few months, or even until next Christmas. I love them though.

As mentioned, I''ll be reviewing most of these products in the near future. I'd like to know though, is there any particular products you want to hear about first?

Did you receive any Lush products this year? I love to know!

Lush - New Haircare Range Launch Night

I got a little invite in my inbox this week to the VIP launch night of Lush's new haircare range. Having already heard all about it as I spend too much time on their website, I was very interested to see what they'd be like in person.

Honestly, from looking at them online I wasn't sure if I really wanted to buy anything from this range as it sounded like they were focused mainly around perfumed scents, which isn't really top of my priorities in haircare. Don't get me wrong, I love for them to smell nice, I would just rather they made my hair super clean the most.

Roots was designed for people with thin, fine hair and promises to revitalise and bring some life back to your hair. This is something I could see myself buying as I have quite fine hair that could do with some lift.

Fair Trade Honey  is a gorgeous, honey scented shampoo. The texture and appearance looks exactly like it's name, and although I've never used any hair products with honey in them before, I can imagine this to work really well.

Sea Spray is a hair mist that adds texture to your hair, and helps to add definition to hair with a natural wave. It would be a very good product to add to your collection if you like to scrunch your hair. As said before, I have very fine hair, so I'm not sure how well it would work with mine, but I really want to try it anyway and see if it works!

Blousey is a banana scented shampoo, and even if you don't like banana (which I don't) it actually smells so good! It promises to help restore coloured, damaged hair. This again, is something I could definitely use!

The final product that I took a little snap of was Big, and this was the first product I looked at upon entering the store. It is the solid conditioner for the very popular Big shampoo. I've never used the shampoo, so I can't comment on this, but I love the look of the conditioner bar and the girl who worked there was very kind and gave me a little sample to try, so I'm very excited to see how it works out.

I ended up buying the Fair Trade Honey shampoo, even though I really don't need anymore shampoo. I know I said above that I wasn't really attracted to hair products that were all about scent, but this just looks so good that I can't wait to try it. I'll probably have a review after about a week of trying it so I'll let you all know how I got on.

At the end of the night we all got a little goodie bag with some samples of their new products to try so I can't wait to see how they all work for me so I can go and buy the full sized products.

I definitely recommend going into your local Lush store to try out some of these new products, or if you don't have one close by, you can shop online. You can look at all their new products if you click right here!
