Melomint Bubble Bar from Lush


Whenever a product with peppermint in becomes available I snap it up. I wouldn’t say that peppermint was one of my most favourite scents, it however works wonders on the dreaded feeling of nausea which is a common side effect for me because of the medication I have to take.

My go to minty products are normally the Mask of Magnaminty face and body mask and the Intergalactic bath bomb. When I am however lucky and the Lush Kitchen have blessed us with one of their wonderful menus I also love the Magic and Abombinaball bath bombs.

All of the above go beautifully with the Melomint Bubble Bar. To look at, Melomint clearly resembles a watermelon slice. At first I thought great, I love watermelon! Its design and colours are however misleading… Melomint is not a fruity product at all, it’s minty through and through.

The only clearly, noticeable connection between it and a watermelon is its design. I  do however feel that the Melomint bubble bar is super refreshing. Both while I am in the bath with it and when I also get out. I just feel so, so refreshed and that feeling really reminds me of how my mouth feels after eating a watermelon. Call me crazy, I don’t mind… It’s just how the bubble bar makes me feel. Clean, rebooted and as fresh as a daisy.

The Melomint bubble bar doesn’t smell strictly of peppermint either. It also has spearmint in it, this gives it a softer minty edge making it a very gentle mint. Although the peppermint is probably the strongest of its ingredients scent wise, you can also detect a tiny layer of cypress oil. This ingredient adds a slight earthy tone to its scent and is a key ingredient as it calms your senses and also tones your skin.

Nine times out of ten I normally say in my Lush reviews that a little of the product goes a long way. I am however always honest and that rule doesn’t apply to every Lush product. Some do not share well, while others do but I find them best enjoyed in full.

If you want an invigorating and energizing bath use as much of the Melomint as you can bear to part with for one bath. I find that I can really enjoy Melomint to the best of its ability over 2 baths, although using the whole thing leaves me flying in minty heaven. It not only freshens and hydrates my skin but also clears my head.

A quarter of it DOES give me enough bubbles for a fabulous bath I am just permanently tired so I find the more Melomint the better, it wakes you up just as good as a very large cup of coffee!

Sultana of Skin Body Conditioner from Lush

sultana-of-skin-body-conditioner

When I see that the Lush Kitchen had added never-before-been-released Body Conditioners to their menu I squealed with delight. With my impending wedding only a few months away I could only afford 1 out of the 6 available. Choosing which one was such a hard decision to make, I however decided on the Sultana of Skin Body Conditioner as it shares its scent with the Blackberry bath bomb.

The Blackberry bath bomb is my favourite night time product. Magic is real, no other bath bomb helps me to wind down after a hard day better than the Blackberry. For me, Blackberry really does have magical properties because every time I use it I almost fall asleep in the bath, as a diagnosed insomniac this is a revelation and a half!

Although the Sultana of Skin body conditioners name doesn’t sound or is in any way familiar to the Blackberry bath bomb, I can safely say, now that I have my gigantic pot of it that it does share its scent and it is heaven in a tub.15965351_1908166806079205_2884945557339576823_nI always grab a small amount of a Lush body conditioner and then begin to work it into my body in a similar way to how you would a shower gel. I however focus a little bit more on the dry patches of my skin such as my elbows.

The Sultana of Skin body conditioner has a beautifully smooth texture that is a similar consistency to not-bits yogurt. As with most Lush products, the smallest amount of Sultana of Skin body conditioner goes a very long way. For the first 2 uses I was still using the excess cream that was on the lid.

As much as I enjoy the Snow Fairy and Christingle body conditioners there’s just something that extra bit special about Sultana of Skin. The fact I love the Blackberry Lush scent so much obviously helps a lot but it’s how it feels on my skin that really impresses me.16142402_1908166819412537_5605533859635902812_n

The Snow Fairy body conditioner is a lot heavier than Sultana of Skin, both are however just as hydrating as the other. I like how light the Sultana of Skin feels on your skin and I feel out of all the body conditioners that I have tried it is the one that has left my skin in the best condition. My skin doesn’t feel greasy at all, it’s perfect.

I am so, so impressed with the Sultana of Skin body conditioner, if I wasn’t getting married in a few months I would definitely buy the Butterball and Big Blue too… Maybe even a cheeky Lemony Flutter as well because the cuticle butter equivalent is fantastic.

Hopefully they bring out smaller pots soon so that I can get them too, I don’t know how they will beat the quality of Sultana of Skin as it’s a pot full of heaven in my eyes. Lush are however very good at surprising me, they always go above and beyond with every new product release which is why I always get so excited!

Love Spell Massage Bar from Lush

Last year (2016) I thought that the Valentine’s Day range was Lush’s best Valentine’s one yet. I honestly wasn’t expecting very much quantity wise. After all, the Christmas line that finished only a month before had spoilt us rotten.

Stating the very obvious, the Valentine’s line is always the first line to come out once the New Year is in full swing, after all of the busy Christmas work Lush has done over the last few months, you would expect them to calm things down a little. They however never do and the Valentine’s line of 2016 blew my mind!

My expectations would have been fulfilled with 2 or 3 limited edition, lovey-dovey themed products. I would have been perfectly satisfied with those 2 or 3 too.love-spell-massage-barAs for 2017 we are only in January and Lush Cosmetics have over excelled themselves again. 2017’s Lush Valentine’s line, blows the likes of 2016’s out of the water. Lush never fail to surprise me and this is why I have made them a part of my everyday life.

The Love Spell Massage Bar was first released as a part of 2016’s Valentine’s range as an Oxford Street exclusive. Imagine my delight when I found out that for Valentine’s 2017 it would be making a return and not just as an Oxford Street exclusive but in all stores and online too!

Love Spell’s scent is a hard one to describe. It has a subtle and musky rose aspect to it. It is a very gentle scent, after using it I feel content, relaxed and carefree.

Though the design of this massage bar is very simple, it really stands out to me when it is in amongst the other Lush massage bars. Love Spell leaves my skin smooth, well hydrated and smelling gorgeous. Lush really need to make a dusting powder that shares its scent. Although Love Spell isn’t my favourite massage bar but it’s up high on the list of my must haves.

The beautiful shade of pink and its heart design will catch many peoples eye. As I mentioned in my review of the Tender is the Night massage bar, massage bars can be used as body lotion too. The sky really is your limit when it comes down to Lush products. I love how versatile they all are.

Love Spell is a fantastic addition to the Lush massage bar collection and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Lush decided to add it to the every day, all year through range.
