A Lush Present

I was working today when a colleague came into my office bearing a huge Lush box. Immediately I knew it was an early surprise birthday present from my boyfriend, who ordered it from the Lush USA website. He has had to put up with all my distracted clicking around the Lush UK and US websites, trying to figure out the most economical way of hauling those Christmas goodies. In the end, I'd always abandon the basket that I had filled up on the Lush UK website as shipping was just too expensive.

He ordered me the huge Christmas Eve hatbox which came with most of the new Christmas bath items. When I opened up the box, my office immediately filled with the distinctive Lush scent. The scent makes some people gag but to me, it's the scent of luxurious, decadent pampering. Nevertheless, to be kind to my colleagues, I opened my window to air my office out!


After reading about Snowcake for the past two years, I was determined to lay my hands on it this year. And now it's finally here! But I was immediately even more smitten with Snowshowers which has a very refreshing elderflower scent.

Ruby Red Slippers Bubble Bar is even more vibrant in real life than it looks on the website.

This is the Christmas Eve Bubble Bar. I'm going to have a hard time deciding to use this as I just love looking at its bright cheerful colors.

Satsumo Santa is another bath bomb that is just too cute to use. Mine arrived without much of a face but love him anyway!

These are the Bathbombs in Jingle Spells, Snow White, Mr Butterball, Cinders and Lil Lush Pud.

The Double Fast Luck Emotibomb arrived a bit shattered but I tried to scoop up all the broken bits as best as I can and popped everything into a ziplock for ease of storage.

As you can see, I am one very delighted Lushie!
