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.

Abombinaball Bath Bomb from Lush

The Abombinaball Bath Bomb may look really scary but he’s actually a joy to share a bath with… Honest! Until last year (2015) I hadn’t had a chance to try the Abombinaball bath bomb, Lushie’s all over the world raved about it so naturally when it became available in the Lush Kitchen I jumped at the chance to order a few.

As much as I love the Intergalactic bath bomb and its minty freshness, I can’t help but crave something minty that’s just a little different as it gets a bit boring after a while, both the Intergalactic and Abombinaball bath bomb have peppermint oil in. I love peppermint oil based products as they help me manage my nausea levels. I’m on a lot of medication so suffer with it quite frequently.

As good as Intergalactic is, sometimes a change is as good as a holiday so I was super excited when my Abombinaball bath bombs arrived.

Although Abombinaball and Intergalactic both contain mostly peppermint oil, they are far from similar. The Abombinaball’s scent isn’t as sharp as the Intergalactic. I find the Abombinaball bath bomb sweeter and a much warmer scent in comparison.

Abombinaball also contains sweet orange oil and vanilla absolute, when I first learnt this I was a bit confused as I thought the ingredients would clash terribly.

After I however sniffed an Abombinaball I was no longer confused, the ingredients all worked together perfectly…

Its scent reminds me of my Grandad. He always had Trebor mints near him, using an Abombinaball bath bomb really takes me back to being a kid again. Back then I would sit next to him holding a Trebor mint he’d given me, licking it like a cat instead of just putting it in my mouth like a normal person.

He was one of my favourite people on the planet. I love how a scent can just take you back in time. The Abombinaball bath bomb will therefore always have a special place in my heart.

If you thought the Intergalactic bath bomb was shimmery then you clearly haven’t tried an Abombinaball bath bomb. It’s magical!

Overall I am thoroughly impressed with the Abombinaball bath bomb, it’s fresh, sweet and uplifting making it perfect for a boost. Peppermint always seems to wake me up so I’d put this bath bomb down as a daytime one.

I have however used it at night and still slept okay.

Whenever the Abombinaball bath bomb is available I snap them up, it really is a brilliant Lush product that I can’t recommend enough. 😈
