Valentines Day with Lush Cosmetics

We all know that one thing Lush do really well is their Limited Editions and their seasonal selections. One of my favourite collections is always Valentines themed, the uber cute, kooky and quirky come out to play and I always want everything. Last week I went into the Oxford Street store here in London and basically could have done a trolley dash. If you have never been to this store, you need to, it is filled with happiness, everyone is cheery and it is an adults playground.

I picked up three products from the Valentines Collection that I haven't used before but which caught my attention  - Cupid Bath Bomb, Kiss Lip Scrub and Two Hearts Beat as One, I also secretly wanted The Unicorn Horn but someone was taking a lot of photos of them and it felt rude to intrude!

The Cupid Bath Bomb is brand new for 2017 and shaped like a heart with an arrow running through it, what more could you want for Valentines Day. For me, it smells similar to Razzle Dazzle if you are familiar with Lush Bath Melts and it is described as being 'Fantastically Floral'.

Ingredients include Bergamot which is really refreshing, Persian Lime oil which stimulates the blood flow and helps to scrub away dead skin cells, Rose Petal Powder which is calming and soothing and Violet Leaf Absolute which is both antiseptic and antibacterial on the skin. Once it is in the water, it fizzes around quite quickly and melts away to leave copious amounts of bubbles which smell just incredible. Priced at just £2.95 I think this is a bargain and it could even be broken in half so that you could enjoy at least two baths from it.

The second product is Two Hearts Beat As One and this is a luxury bath melt which features two interlocking hearts. They can be used individually or together depending upon your mood and again the scent is just absolutely stunning. Using Ylang Ylang oil which is incredibly uplifting, Bergamot Oil which is great for refreshing the skin, Jasmine Oil which is great for relieving stress and tension and finally Rose Absolute which is great at lifting the mood.

As soon as the hearts are submerged into the water, the oils come to life and the scent totally fills the house. As you climb into the water, not only will it have turned into a bright mixture of orange and red, you will feel absolutely relaxed.  Further ingredients within this product are Argan Oil, Cocoa Butter and Almond Oil which moisturise, nourish and condition the skin. Priced at £3.95.

One product I do love from Lush is their lip scrubs so I couldn't leave the store without picking up The Kiss. Using both Sea Salt and Caster Sugar to act as an exfoliant to remove that dry and dead skin, you can choose how abrasive this is when you use it.

Fair Trade Cocoa Butter helps to soften the skin before it is exfoliated and Mandarin Oil helps to improve the circulation of blood as well as promote the growth of new cells and tissues, reviving the skin. Almond essential oil helps with healing and protecting whilst soothing and softening the skin. Finally to give this product that little something extra for Valentines Day we have Red Edible Hearts and Soft Pink Glimmer Lustre. Priced at £5.75.

So those are my Valentines Day picks and if you fancy having a look as to what is offer then you can find these products and everything else Lush has to offer right here
