When I visited London last week, I decided to visit the new Lush shop on Oxford Street. I've been wanting to visit since it opened in April this year so I was so happy when I finally visited. It has loads of products I'd never seen before (Oxford Street Exclusives) and the minute I walked in, it smelt like a sweet shop. I kept picking different products up just to smell them.
Eventually, after browsing through almost all of the products, I finally bought some bath bombs, a shower gel and two toner waters.
'Stardust' Bath Bomb (£2.95)
One of the first products I picked up was this 'Stardust' bath bomb and I fell in love with the smell because my first thought was that it smelt like vanilla which is one of my favourite smells. It also looks really cute as well, as you can see in the picture above, it's in the shape of a star. When you put this in your bath, it is like adding star dust to your bath so the name is very suitable. Defintely one of my favourite bath bombs.
'Twilight' Bath Bomb (£3.50)
I've used this bath bomb before and I love it so when I found it at the Oxford Street store, I had to buy it. It's a pretty pink colour with stars all over it. This is perfect if you're struggling to sleep and relax at night as it contains lavender oil which is commonly used to treat insomnia so I would suggest having this bath bomb before you go to bed. This bomb will also turn your bath a pretty pink and light blue colour. The fragrance is also really soothing which I love.
'Frozen' Bath Bomb (£3.95)
I was so excited about trying this bath bomb because so many people had been talking about it and saying it was the best Lush bath bomb and, since buying this product, I agree. The fragrance consists of grapefruit and rose which smells so beautiful. This bath bomb will turn your bath into a gorgeous, glittery blue which is what I loved most about this product. This is perfect if you want a relaxing bath.
'Dragon's Egg' Bath Bomb (£3.50)
This bath bomb definitely makes bathtime more exciting as it fizzes, crackles and changes your bath colour to a gorgeous citrusy gold. The scent is reminiscent of lemon sherbet with a hint of jasmine leaving you feeling amazing and ready for the day. The citrus scents leave you feeling transformed and invigorated. This bath bomb is uplifting and refreshing which is why it's my favourite bath bomb.
'Blackberry' Bath Bomb (£3.35)
Blackberries are one of my favourite fruits so of course I was going to love this bath bomb. I've also been feeling really stressed and tense recently so I knew this was going to make me feel better. One of the main ingredients include bergamot which is used in aromatherapy to treat anxiety, depression and nervous tension. It is also relaxing and uplifting as well as antibacterial. Another ingredient is frankincense oil which helps slow down breathing and induces a feeling of well-being.
'Avobath' bath bomb (£3.50)
I love avocado so I fell in love with this bomb the moment I smelt it. The lemongrass and bergamot oils will pick you up while also tackling dryness with fresh avocado and olive oil. It also contains lustre, which gives a shimmering green effect to your bath and leaves your skin feeling smooth and clean. It also contains a lot of mashed avocado and olive oil to tackle dehydration making this an excellent choice if you suffer from dry skin.
'Fizzbanger' Bath Bomb (£3.50)
This is a Catherine wheel of a bath bomb because it changes colour as it fizzes, crackling with popping candy and releasing first a citrussy apple and then a cinnamon, apple pie like scent with a hint of ylang ylang. One of the ingredients is petitgrain which is used in aromatherapy to calm the breathing, slow the heartbeat and decrease the feelings of breathing. Ylang ylang also produces a feeling of joy and cinnamon leaf oil helps you let go.
'Snow Fairy' Shower Gel (£7.95 for 250g)
Some of you might be surprised to see this shower gel on my blog as it's normally only available during the Christmas period but Oxford Street has this over two months early so if you live near the Oxford Street shop, I'd suggest that you'd buy this before it sells out as it is a very popular product. If you like sweet fragrances, I'd definitely recommend this as it smells just like candyfloss. This is perfect for your shower as it cleanses the skin and leaves you smelling delicious.
'Tea Tree Water' and 'Eau Roma' Toner Waters (£4.50 each)
I do suffer from dry skin and can never find anything that is good for my skin until now. The 'Tea Tree' toner keeps my skin clear and leaves it feeling refreshed. It is also antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial so can help keep away the bacteria that causes spots. One of the ingredients is grapefruit which is rich in vitamins and is lightly astringent on the skin. Another ingredient is juniperberry which is antiseptic and helps keep skin clean and clear. I use this to wipe my makeup off.
The 'Eau Roman' toner is an elegant formula that is suitable even for the most sensitive skins. This includes: rose water which helps to calm and reduce redness and lavender water which balances and softens the skin. On the Lush website, it says that this toner water was created as a way to hydrate and sooth the skin both gently and effectively. I'd recommend it for a quick, refreshing spritz to remove any traces of makeup or cleanser.
So those were all of the products I bought from the Oxford Street shop, if you're a Lush fan, like me, I'd definitely recommend that you visit this shop as there is something for everyone.
Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you enjoyed reading it.
