The Comforter Shower Gel from Lush

At the time of writing this review, the, The Comforter Shower Gel is currently only available to buy in 570g bottles at Lush stores with a Discon Wall. I managed to get a hold of this bottle in Lush’s big Glasgow store a few weeks ago.

I have only ever used the, The Comforter shower cream until now and that was a good few years ago back when it was a mainline product.

I was devastated when Lush discontinued it so as soon as I heard about the shower gel equivalent being an item on the Discon Wall I knew I had to get a bottle.

The shower gel is described by Lush as ‘like a cuddle in a bottle’. If you’ve used the bestselling The Comforter bubble bar before, you’ll recognise its soothing-berrylicious scent straight away.

Other products that have been in its scent are the, The Comforter bath bomb and The Comforter solid perfume.

The, The Comforter shower gel contains blackberry decoction, vanilla pod decoction, bergamot oil, blackcurrant absolute and cypress oil.

Its scent is best described as a blackcurrant lovers’ idea of heaven. It has a very distinctive berry fragrance that at first, I wasn’t entirely sure about BUT over time, I’ve fallen head over heels in love with. I now wish to try the scent in every product format possible!

The scent has been named perfectly as there really is something that is just so comforting about the, The Comforter scent.

A small amount of the, The Comforter shower gel goes a long way, and it is very easy to get out of the bottle. It has a creamy consistency too. This shower gel equivalent is so similar to the shower cream version that I can’t actually notice any difference between the two at all.

The, The Comforter shower gel is a darker pink colour and glides over your skin leaving it clean, hydrated, and fresh with minimum effort.

The Comforter shower gels scent really shines through when combined with the hot water and steam from your shower.

It feels incredible lathered up all over your skin. I didn’t find it necessary to moisturise after using it in the shower either.

Scent-strength-wise I’d say that the, The Comforter shower gel is one of Lush’s stronger fragrances. I can still smell the scent on my skin several hours after using it.

If you are looking for a creamy shower gel that not only cleans but freshens up tired and dull skin too, look no further that the, The Comforter shower gel.

Overall, I love this shower gel and am so pleased to finally have a bottle of it in my possession, I have my fingers crossed that Lush decide to make it more readily available soon so that more people can give it a try or like me, relive it!

Magik CBD Bath Bomb from Lush

Lush have recently added four new ‘Magik’ products to their CBD range, today I will be reviewing the brand new Magik Bath Bomb, also known as the Magik CBD Epsom Salt Cube.

As someone who often struggles to switch off and relax, anything that can help me get to that state of mind quicker is worth a try.

I was lucky enough to be gifted all four of the new CBD products from Lush, I am so incredibly grateful for Lush’s generosity yet again; Every time I get a package from them it’s like all my Christmases have come at once!

Before we delve deeper into my review of the Magik bath bomb I want to talk about the CBD element of all the new products…

CBD is short for cannabidiol; Cannabidiol is the non-psychoactive and non-addictive compound found in hemp plants, in simple terms it means using this Lush product won’t get you high.

There has been a lot of research conducted around the use of CBD oil and it is said to have a long list of health-benefits.

It is said to help with stress management as well as aiding those suffering with anxiety and/or sleep problems, it has also been proven to help people like me, who suffer from medical conditions that cause wide-spread chronic pain.

The very reason I first got into Lush was because I was looking for non-medicinal alternatives to prescription painkillers, so it is only natural for me to jump at the chance to try each of the new CBD products.

The Magik bath bomb is pink and green and made into a cube shape, it’s the same design as the Salt Water Soother and Deep Sleep bath bombs.

All of my reviews on this blog are my own personal experience with Lush products. I’ve had a few messages from people who haven’t tried the Magik products yet but have some experience with CBD say things like, ‘this won’t work for…’

I’m always open to listen to other people’s thoughts and opinions but I feel my job in a review like this is to tell you how I found the product AFTER I have used it and not before, so here we go!

As well as the CBD hemp seed oil, the Magik bath bomb also contains Epsom salts, chamomile blue oil, jasmine absolute, violet leaf absolute, ylang ylang absolute and shiitake mushroom powder.

Its shares its scent with the Ultra Violet bubble bar, Wild Violet Co-Mingle body scrub and the other three products from the same new ‘Magik’ line.

As soon as you place the Magik bath bomb into your bath water you are greeted with a gentle hiss of light pink and green bubbles. The hot bath water ensures that as soon as the Magik bath bomb encounters it, you’re hit with the gentle but sweet smell of violets, it’s an incredibly fresh and natural fragrance.

There are herbal and grassy elements to its scent too. I find this bath bombs blend of ingredients as incredibly grounding and surprisingly warming in a Summertime way; A weird description I know but it’s what I smell and how I feel using it.

It only takes the Magik bath bomb two minutes to fully dissolve leaving you with more time to sit back and relax in the hot water that hasn’t had too much time to cool down yet… BLISS!

Magik is not much of a bath art bath bomb but the small amount of green and pink bubbles it does create are very pretty.

As soon as the bath bomb is put in, the Epsom salts fall to the bottom of the bath before also dissolving. Any Lush product that has Epsom salts in ALWAYS creates the most incredibly soft water and the Magik bath bomb did not disappoint in this department.

After use, my skin is perfectly hydrated and feels clean and silky-soft too. For me in particular, I have always found this products Lush-scent-family quite calming so it wouldn’t be fair to assume that my feeling more relaxed was all down to the CBD content in it. BUT I did leave the bath feeling very relaxed and refreshed, CBD or not. Overall, I love the Magik bath bomb!

Bee Body Balm from Lush

The Bee Body Balm is yet another exciting product from the Lush X Bridgerton line, Lush kindly gifted me most of the in-store and online Bridgerton stock and I have to say, the Bee body balm is a standout favourite.

I have really enjoyed exploring each of the new Bridgerton products, it is making the wait for part two of season three that little bit easier to get through!

The Bee body balm is the same shape as one of Lush’s standard massage bars; It actually fits into the oval Lush tin perfectly, even with the lid on.

The products design is incredibly detailed, on its front there is a honeycomb-like design and then a giant bee, with the letter ‘B’ on its bottom.

The Bee body balm contains fair trade cocoa butter, cornstarch, organic illipe butter, fairtrade organic mango butter, almond oil, organic rose hip oil, Brazilian orange oil and bergamot oil.

It’s a light-yellow colour and is a member of the Honey I Washed The Kids scent-family. Some other products that share its scent and that I have reviewed are the Golden Egg shower gel, Shoot for the Stars bath bomb and Scrubee body butter.

Some have actually described the Bee body balm as a Scrubee body butter without the scrubby bits.

The Bee body balm smells just like a pot of honey but with a slight citrus twist. I’d also like to point out that it is completely Vegan which is a big deal as back in the day, products with this scent were originally only vegetarian.

Even though Bee looks like a massage bar it is a body balm. It’s hard for me to say for definite what differentiates between a body balm and massage bar as you do use both in similar ways.

My understanding of Bee is that it’s not quite as oily as a massage bar and during application almost takes on a powder like consistency, that powdery part then quickly sinks in because of the heat of your skin.

I thought that with the Bee body balm not being as oily as a massage bar, it would mean I need to use more to get my desired level of hydration but a little goes a long way.

I’ve used the Bee body balm five or six times now, focusing only on my elbows and other dry patches of skin. I’ve even used it as a cuticle oil with good results.

The scent lasts on your skin for a good few hours, as does its moisturisation level.Overall, I am very impressed with the Bee body balm and I’m excited to see what body balms Lush come up with in the future!
