One of my all time favorite companies is Lush, a company that produces fresh, handmade cosmetics. Lush products are mostly natural, and I love the idea of supporting a company that strives to use natural, organic ingredients in their products. It's probably a company that you'll hear me talk about quite frequently, but today I want to tell you about my absolute favorites from their Christmas line. That's right! Christmas line. Is it that time of year already? Well, it's coming up and Lush recently released an awesome collection of items that I love and some that I am dying to try. I haven't tried any of the new products released, but these are some of my favorites that I've enjoyed in previous years.
First off is the Gingerbread House bubble bar. This is so obviously visually pleasing. Look at it! It makes me want to squeal with delight. It's like Christmas in a bubble bar. If you don't know what a bubble bars are, you crumble them into your bath water as it runs and they create huge, lovely-scented bubbles. Some even change the color of your water. Gimmicky, I know, but these little babies are packed with essential oils that make your skin seriously soft. Love them. This particular one is my ABSOLUTE product from the Christmas line. It may even be my favorite product from Lush. The orange part smells like ginger, but not gingerbread. It's more of an earthy, pure ginger than a bakery scent. The white part on type smells just like Cool Whip to me. It's a very light and creamy vanilla-ish scent. The two combined create a light, dreamy scent that will soothe anyone. The Gingerbread House bubble bar turns the water a light orange/peachy color. All Lush products are a little pricey, but I can easily use this one 3 times, which makes it a great deal for me.
This next product is a bath bomb called Cinders. You place bath bombs in your bath water and they fizz as they release awesome scents and essential oils into the water. Cinders smells like Apple Cider to me. It's very spicy, unlike Gingerbread House, which is more subdued. I smell a lot of cinnamon in this one. This is a great Holiday scent, and the best thing about this is the pop rocks on top. As the bomb fizzes away and deteriorates, the pop rocks make a lovely popping sound, which is supposed to be reminiscent of a crackling fire. If I close my eyes, I can definitely imagine it. The popping continues long after the bomb is dissolved. Very soothing. You have to keep an open mind with this one. It does turn the water a yellow color. People reviewing on the Lush site complain that sitting in yellow water makes them feel as if they're sitting in urine. Yellow is my all time favorite color, so I like to think of it like I'm sitting in sunshine. It's much more uplifting than the urine theory.
Both of these bath products will leave a light, colored film in the bottom of your bath. At least they do for me, but it's nothing a light swipe with a wet cloth can't clear up. They're both great, and I would suggest either one of these products if you're looking to try Lush or looking for a good product from their Holiday line. Not only will they make your bath water and entire bathroom smell amazing, they scent also clings to your skin after your bath. Seriously, go check out the site. I could look for hours and hours. In fact, I think I'll go take a peek right now.
