Lush Jasmine and Henna Fluff-Ease Hair Mask Review

Hello, lovelies!

I apologize for my absence, as usual things got super hectic, my laptop broke and I was busy seeing concerts and being ridiculously unwell, but I'm back!

What a better come back than a Lush review, am I right?

I picked this up the last time I was in my local Lush store, as I'm looking to improve the condition of my hair before I cut it all off to donate it to The Little Princess Trust. The woman I dealt with in the shop was incredibly helpful and lovely, and as soon as I told her my plans, she swiped this up off the shelf.

For roughly £10.98 the jasmine and henna fluff-ease treatment is fantastic for more red toned, fluffy/curly, dry hair. I naturally have very dry, curly hair, and this has managed to keep it at bay with blow-drying, and paired with some Argon oil I've had absolute no trouble with dry ends the past few times I've washed my hair, and I've only used it twice!

It recommends that you only keep it on for 20 minutes, but if you want a serious deep treatment you can keep it on for as long as you like - the woman who sold me it said she kept it on all night, her hair must love her.

After applying it thickly, and I mean thickly, I twist my hair up into a top-knot and go about whatever I'm doing. Usually it's just tidying, or I'll even go chill in a bath with a face-mask on and go all out with the self-pampering. I leave it on for roughly an hour to two hours, just letting it work its magic in the absolute birds nest I call my hair. Washing it off is as simple as it could get, run your hair under warm water and the shampoo and condition as normally, easy as pie!

Over all, I was skeptical about Lush's hair masks before I tried this, but I now have nothing bad to say against them. Or, this one at least.

Quick, short, and sweet. Much like myself.

I'll see you next time, then.

Lush Granny Takes A Dip Bath Bomb Review

Hello, lovelies!

Now, I know I posted a Lush review not too long ago, but I've been having a very bad time of it with my mental health state this past week -- hence the horrific lack of posts, and a good Lush bath is a way for me to relax and try to bring myself back to myself. So, that's what I did.

This time it's their "Granny Takes A Dip" bath bomb!

"This ginger, pepper and lemon-scented bath bomb turns your water psychedelic and puts some colour in your life. Simply drop into a warm bath and watch as it's fizzing centre dissolves into multi-coloured waters. It's spicy, citrusy scent will pep you up: lemon oil boost the mood, while ginger and pepper are warming." - lush.co.uk

The colours and scents of this bath bomb are completely mesmerizing. I was totally drawn to it when I seen it in the store, and I recognised it from a lot of blog posts very much like this one, singing it's praises. Pairing this with a mix of The 1975 and One Direction's new album (Stockholm Syndrome could come on while I'm in public and I'd still find a way to bust out some horrific singing) playing, I managed to bring myself from my slump, to somewhat human.

 

It took a good while for it to fizz through all the colours completely, and every time I noticed a new colour coming through I had to snap photos of it. In fact, a friend of mine received a Snapchat video of how cool it was. I was totally blown away.

Eventually, the water does settle into a deep purple colour, much like Vimpto.

Typical bath photo, but I couldn't get over just how lovely the colour had gone. My cousin had recently told me that when she used this bath bomb, the colour had gone a lot more murky, and I've seen a few people on here say so as well, but I was more than impressed. It left my skin lovely and smooth, like most lush products should, and I still smell vaguely like ginger.

Overall, I absolutely loved it. One again everything Lush has done with this is completely perfect, from colour to design to scent, I have another new favourite to add to my ever growing list.

Just a short post to get me back into the swing of writing, because I always seem to lose touch with it when I'm struggling. I hope this was alright for you all, lovelies, and as usual -

I'll see you next time, then.

Lush Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar Review

Hello, lovelies!

So I took a quick little trip into town with my mum on Thursday, and of course I ended up in Lush.

I've seen my friends, fellow bloggers, and even a family member going on about how wonderful Lush's new "Unicorn Horn" bubble bar is, so I figured it was time to jump on the band-wagon and try it out for myself.

Not only is it utterly adorable, it smells absolutely divine.

"A one way ticket to the end of the rainbow. Keep this horn on hand and crumble under running water for an explosion of sparkling lustre, colourful candy stars and magical neroli and lavender scents."

The first thing that hit me was the very very distinct lavender scent, which I absolutely adore, although the neroli isn't as noticeable at first, it's certainly there as a very delicate undertone.

A lot of reviews I read on this said they had had trouble with the amount of bubbles the bar produced, saying that there wasn't many at all, but when I tested it, well, I had no problem in my bubble kingdom.

"@earthtoree: BUBBLE KINGDOM"

Something that I didn't notice about the product straight away (and mainly due to the insane amount of bubbles there was) was that it turned the water a very nice lilac colour, and the water was very full of glitter. My excitement can be showcased in the following tweet:

Overall, I found this bubble bar to be absolutely gorgeous. Relaxing, soothing, and great for sore muscles, I found myself wishing I had picked up a couple of these beauties so I can disappear to the end of the bubble rainbow every evening. The lavender creating the perfect relaxation atmosphere, and with a couple of candles? Ya girl would've fallen asleep in there.

So, from my favourite office --

I'll see you next time, then.
