Lush Easter Range 2015



I wanted to share with you some of my thoughts after reviewing the Lush Easter range.

Firstly, and most importantly is the beautiful but very subtle smelling soap, Somewhere Over The Rainbow.  I think this may not find much attention by customers in the stores, as it's so subtle you simply can't smell it. However, it does have an aroma, a nice one at that.
 It will take you to trust me on this one, as you won't smell a thing at Lush.  All of the beautiful aromas in there are vying for your attention, and this one has no chance. But once you get it home, when you smell the familiar scent of Neroli oils you'll be pleasantly reminded of Prince Shaving Cream. In fact, they both share similar ingredients: the soap uses Madarin Oil, Prince has Orange Tree Blossom and both share the soothing and calming ingredient of Rose, Somewhere Over The Rainbow offers Rose Absolute whereas Rose Water is used to make Prince. I totally went out on a whim on this one, and I am really glad I did. 
As you can see, there is a very unsubtle lustre glow, not quite a glitter, more like a flaking. Not sure how this will look whilst using the soap, it looks more like an add on than an ingredient all the way through. Overall, pleasantly surprised by this underdog of Lush! Here is the review.

Next up, let's recap Fluffy Egg. The only thing you need to know about this little bath bomb is that it shares its aroma with Snow Fairy! Yep, you heard me, the great iconic aroma that sends teenage girls (and me) running into there local stores to get their hands on, whatever form it comes in!  I've seen many an empty bottle followed by some very unhappy faces on Instagram, well nows your chance to top up on that wonderful sweety smell before they're all gone.  Fluffy Egg.

Just quickly, Carrot Soap. Feels like a baby, you could cwtch (cuddle in Welsh) it all day, it just has the perfect weight! And it loves you back, full of Bachu, Bergamot and Carrot oils, it doesn't just keep you clean! Carrot Soap review.

Keeping up the Carrot theme, let's not forget Bunch of Carrots.  These things are rock solid, you just hold them under the water flow, slowly watching the bubbles grow, as well as the tone subtly turning your bath orange.  This bubble bar shares its aroma with the Carrot soap, as well as the Christmas Snowman shower jelly. What I love the most is how long they last! They just keep on going, reckon you'd get ten or more baths out of these.  Bunch of Carrots review.

Back to the eggs, there's Immaculate Eggception. A great play on words regarding the Virgin Mary and the conception of Baby Jesus!  Anyway, make sure you get three baths out of this bath bomb. If you chuck it all in, you'll miss the wee surprise inside.  Comes in two colours, pink or yellow, and has an agreeable citrusy aroma. Quite an intense one, fizzes all over the bath before leaving the colour you chose.  Immaculate Eggception review.

Oh and Golden Egg. This is a bath bomb with a twist, it's also a bath melt.  Now if you like the Honey I washed products, this is for you. It has that familiar caramel/honey/sticky toffee smell that you'll just love.  Leaves your skin feeling awesomely smooth thanks to the butter like melting. Oh and the glitter, gorgeous gold glitter to leave you feeling like royalty.  Golden Egg.

Next up, Pot O' Gold shower jelly.  Really wibbly wobbly and still a novelty to use, just rub it on.  I would suggest you don't chop it up as no matter how hard you try you will drop it! Shares the aroma with the old Creme Anglaise body lotion, a bit like a Creme Brûlée. The lads seem to love this, leaving more comments than the ladies on my review. Pot O' Gold.

Mustn't forget Hoppity Poppity. This is the more herbal, bath bomb version of Ultraviolet, which was part of the Mother's Day range here in the UK.  The violet aroma is just beautiful, joined with herbal scents of lavender, this is a real little treat. Hoppity Poppity  

Anyway, that's enough from me, just wanted to put all the reviews of the Easter range in one place. Thank you.
