Celebrate Body Lotion from Lush

Celebrate Body Lotion is one of my all time favourite Christmas-time Lush products.

When I found out that it wouldn’t be making a return this year, (2016) I was devastated. I had only one pot and a good three quarters of it had been used up. I have been using the last blob of my body lotion sparingly and am now only a week or so away from it being completely empty. *cries*

Luckily the Lush God’s have been listening to me and next week Celebrate body lotion will be up for grabs in the Lush Kitchen. Just one pot should cover me right up until this time next year. YAY!

Celebrate body lotion

The Celebrate body lotion shares its scent with some of the best products Lush have to offer. To name a few there is the Golden Wonder bath bomb, First Snow dusting powder and the Bubbly shower gel. It’s a really popular scent and features in several different formats, the more the merrier and all that… 😉

As soon as you pop open the lid of the Celebrate body lotion you are greeted with the comforting and refreshing scent of warming cognac, sweet orange and zesty lime oils. It is a creamy coloured lotion and its scent alone invites you in to using it, enjoying it with all of your senses.

A little bit of the Celebrate body lotion goes a very long way, one 225g pot has lasted me just over a year and it’s good even past its sell by date as it is self preserving. Just make sure it is stored somewhere cool and that the lid is left on it in between uses. 3.0.png

Using Celebrate body lotion lifts my mood, it is perfect when applied after a long, hard day.

Once applied the scent itself stays with you through out the night and most of the next day too. Pairing it up with the First Snow dusting powder makes for a match made in heaven.

Not only does Celebrate leave you smelling fabulous, it also leaves you with soft, smooth and gloriously hydrated skin – it is the perfect body lotion and by far one of the best I have ever used.

This year (2016) they brought Sleepy body lotion out in its place. As I mentioned above I was devastated, Sleepy is however a very good body lotion, I like it a lot. I am just an old school Lushie and love the Celebrate body lotion just that little bit more.

Both Celebrate and Sleepy have their strong points but I believe Celebrate body lotion will always be my all time favourite.

Christmas Kisses Bubble Bar from Lush

The Christmas Kisses Bubble Bar is a Lush Cosmetics product that I can never, ever say no to. It shares its scent with one of my favourite Winter shower gels, Hot Toddy.

I love the Hot Toddy scent family, all of their products have an amazing list of warming ingredients.

A Christmas Kisses bath is perfect for soothing and warming up tired and aching muscles. It contains clove leaf, patchouli, cinnamon and sweet orange oil making it a spicy bubble bar with sweet elements too. Its scent is almost identical to the scent of the fizzy cola bottle sweets, it is perfect for the Winter time.

The Christmas Kisses bubble bar makes the long, cold and dull Winter so much easier to endure. Easing yourself into a Christmas Kisses bath is like no other feeling, I hate Winter but this bubble bar really does help me get through it. If my muscles could applaud they would give a standing ovation every single time I used this beautiful bubble bar.

The Christmas Kisses bubble bar breaks up easily. The smallest amount creates mounds and mounds of fluffy white bubbles. It may be a reasonably small bubble bar, however a little really does go a very long way. I can get 3 generously bubbled bubble baths out of just the one bar.

The only negative point I can think of for it is that I don’t have enough. Which is my fault entirely. I love this bubble bar so much that I am already running very low on it, it was only in the Lush Kitchen a few weeks ago too.

The scent remains strong throughout your bath, it is so, so relaxing, it feels like each and every one of my muscles is being delicately seen to by a very good masseuse.

The bubble bar softens the water a great deal, leaving your skin silky smooth, my winter abused skin relishes in it.

Once you are out of the bath the warmth of it and how it feels on your skin remains with you. Any dry patches on your skin disappear and best of all, its scent remains with you right up until you next have a bath…

I am however a little piggy when it comes to bath time, I have a bath at least once a day because they help me manage 2 medical conditions that I have that leave me in constant pain.

I know some people think that 1 bath a day is excessive but if it helps me manage my pain while also limiting the amount of medication I take, it is a no brainer of a solution. I can’t avoid taking pain medication full stop but if I can get relief from a more natural source then I will.

Nothing else from Lush has come close to making me feel as relaxed and care-free as the Christmas Kisses bubble bar does. Next time it’s in the Lush Kitchen I advise you NOT to buy it, NOT one single bar…

…That ensures there’s more for me to grab, mwahahaha! *inserts evil emoji*

The Christmas Kisses bubble bar is one of the very best, you’d be silly not to try it, trust me, I’m a Christmas Kisses addict.

Hot Toddy Shower Gel from Lush

Hot Toddy Shower Gel.png Hot Toddy Shower Gel had me intrigued purely on its name alone. When the opportunity to buy some presented itself I of course snapped it up.

I didn’t expect Hot Toddy to smell how it does, its scent is almost identical to the scent of the fizzy cola bottle sweets I used to eat as a kid.

For some reason I thought it was going to have a very hot and spicy fragrance. I wasn’t however completely wrong, it does have a slight spice to it but it also has a sweet element to it too.

The Hot Toddy gel has a multitude of ingredients that are perfect for warming you up during Winter time. Ginger, clove leaf, patchouli and my all time favourite spice, cinnamon.

I loathe Winter with a passion, if humans could hibernate I’d be the first in line while rocking a funky set of super fluffy pyjamas.

Unfortunately we can’t hibernate and I therefore have to find other means to get through Winter. Enters Lush’s Hot Toddy Shower Gel! it really does make my Winters a lot easier to endure.

hot-toddy-shower-gel-blob The Hot Toddy shower gel has quite a thick consistency making it very similar to the likes of the Bubbly shower gel.

A little of the product goes a very long way, the smallest amount of shower gel lathers up effortlessly and it is as you work it in your hands in preparation to cleanse your body that the scent and its magic warming properties really hits you.

I cannot express how amazing Hot Toddy feels on my tired and achy muscles. If I could just jump into a pool full of it that would be fabuLUSH.

It’s almost as if the shower gel seeps through to your muscles massaging them, the warmth of it and how it feels on my skin is just so, so good.

I tried to get a picture of the beautiful gold lustre that makes the Hot Toddy shower gel that little bit more special, as always my photo does it no justice at all. If you’re new to Lush please do not be put off of the products that have lustre in.

When I first got into Lush I avoided the lustre products like the plague, I then accidentally used a product with lustre in and all went well, I didn’t look like a sparkling vampire…

I feel like a broken record as I write a paragraph like this for every product I review with lustre in but it’s honestly not like jumping into a pot of glitter, it’s more of a light, cosmetic shimmer. There also isn’t really that much of it actually in the products and it’s completely biodegradable.

Overall I am totally blown away at Hot Toddy. It is so much more than just a shower gel.

I’m gutted I only have the one bottle left, although… I do have a mini one on the way
