Bath Bombs from Rocket

I love a Lush bath bomb and whilst my sister was in our local town the other day she came across these bath bombs from a little shop called Rocket and bought them for me.

As shown in the photos these are designed to look like cakes which I think is really cute and they also do have cake related names but I can't remember what they are and I could of sworn I put it down somewhere but can't seem to find it! 

Smelling these in the wrapper they did smell good, not as strong scented as a Lush one but still really good, colour wise again wasn't exactly bright or spectacular but still pleasing to look at.

Now I haven't actually got photos of them from when I used them in the bath because they turned the bath such a horrid colour that it wasn't even worth a photo! I thought it would turn it into something amazing but I was so wrong it just looked dirty. However the smell was still nice and they did make my skin feel soft and to be honest I don't think you can ever top a Lush bath bomb!

Have you tried any bath bombs that are not Lush?

Lush goodies

Recently it was my birthday and one of my gifts from my sister was these Lush products. I am really obsessed at the moment with Lush and I loved all the Christmas bath bombs and so I was excited to try these!

Here I have from left to right the Honey Bee bath bomb, Ickle Baby Bot, Twilight, Space Girl and Blackberry bath bomb.

I have used all of these except the Ickle Baby Bot and have loved all of them. I was really excited to try the Space Girl one as I think it looks amazing! Look at all that glitter!

Honey Bee Bath Bomb

This contains Honey, Aloe Vera and Rhassoul Mud. The honey soothes, retains moisture and is antiseptic and the Aloe Vera cools. The Rhassoul Mud cleanses and helps conditions the skin. This is £3.35. This turns the bath a lovely bright yellow colour, my skin felt really soft after using this.

Ickle Baby Bot 

This is actually for children but look how cute it is! I had to get it. It contains Lavender and this is meant to be really gentle that babies over 6 months can use it! This is a relaxing bath bomb that helps to calm and is £1.95. I haven't used this yet but it looks good!

Twilight

This bath bomb smelt amazing! Reminded me of sweets.  This again has been designed to help you sleep (not that I need any help there!)  This turns the bath a dark purple colour and this is my favourite bath bomb out of all of them, £3.35

Space Girl

 I got this one because it's in the shape of a planet! So cool! Plus glitter!! This contains popping candy and has grapefruit oil in which helps to tone the skin. It also has Bergamot to help you feel relaxed and cheerful. £2.35

Blackberry Bath Bomb

Once this bath bomb has finished fizzing it has a nice surprise in the middle! It contains Bergamot which is used in aromatherapy for anxiety, depression and to relieve tension. £3.25.

All these bath bombs are amazing and give the bath an amazing colour! My favourite was definitely Twilight. I can't wait to try the Valetine bath bombs!

Lush Grease Lightning

'Strikes the Spot with Lightning precision'

I have been wanting to try this since my skin decided to hate me and I read many good things about it!

I couldn't actually find this in my local store so had to buy online and pay the delivery charge (the pain) lol.

It is £5.95 for a 45g bottle and I have a feeling this is going to last me ages because one or two pumps is enough.

What I like about this is that it is all natural ingredients and  Lush state that it 'attacks the spot without taking it out on the rest of your skin'.  Most products used for spots dry the spot out and so usually the skin surrounding it also dries and nobody likes dry skin!

Ingredients: Thyme, Rosemary and Tea Tree Infusion, Water,Fair Trade Organic Aloe Vera Gel, Sea Water,Grape Juice, Carrageenan Extract, Lavender Oil,Witch Hazel Extract, *Limonene, Perfume,Methylparaben.

• 'Aloe vera gel to soothe and moisturise.
• Seawater for its antiseptic properties.  
• Grape juice to cool and calm the skin. 
• Thyme, rosemary and tea tree herb infusions to be gently antibacterial.
• Witch hazel, an astringent that is great for bruising and helps broken blood vessels shrink and contract.
• Tea Tree oil, a powerful antiseptic.'

On the Lush website it tells you also how this product came about. After they took part in the BBC Apprentice they decided to offer the managers of their Lush shops to invent their own products and this won!

So what do I think of this? I think its very easy to use and is a clear gel that dries when on the face, it feels like a face mask when they dry but just on a small part of your face lol.  I think it does help to reduce the spot but it hasn't made mine completely disappear but I wasnt expecting it to do that in the first place.  I think this is a great product if you do just get the odd breakout here and there but I find sometimes though that once the gel has dried on my face you can see it and your face looks like it is peeling! This also doesn't affect any other part of my face, big bonus!

Lush you never cease to amaze me! :)

Lush Wish List

I have this really big unhealthy obsession with Lush recently. There is just so much stuff I would love to get and here are just 6 of them! Which was hard to choose so I just mainly stuck with their Christmas items!

1.  Fairy Tale  I just think these look so pretty! It was inspired by the sugar mice you used to get in sweet shops. It is strawberry and coconut milk with white chocolate ears!

2.  Magic Wand  I can be a fairy with this lol! This is reusable and gives mounds of sweet smelling foam. This is a solid version of Lush's snow fairy shower gel.

3.   Luxury Lush Pud What an amazing looking bath bomb! Lavender fragrance and this is meant to be perfect for relaxing!

4. Melting Snowman  This is a bath melt and it just looks too good! His legacy is 'to give you great skin' lol!

5.  Grease Lightening  This is a product Lush do all the time but I really want to try it. It has all natural ingredients which attack the spot and not the rest of your skin! 'Strikes the spot with lightening precision'!

6. Pumkin  Ok so this is actually part of their Halloween products but its so cute! It leaves you feeling uplifted and refreshed and the bath water will turn an orange colour!

I got really excited making this lol! I also just like to say how good do Lush products look to eat, not that I would advise it lol.

Lush Angel on Bare Skin

I have never really had a skin regime until a few months ago...I know thats really bad but my skin use to be pretty good lol! This had to change though, as I was wearing make up more frequently and so my skin started to change. So off I went and bought lots of new products and the Lush Angel on Bare Skin being one of them.

Angels on Bare Skin is a fresh cleanser and at the moment is currently out of stock on the Lush website :(  As Lush puts it 'As gentle and beautiful as being kissed by angels'. It is based on an old age formula and reduces redness in the skin and evens out the appearance and tone.

.  

Angels on Bare skin contains the following ingredients which are all natural: 

Ground Almonds, Glycerine, Kaolin, Water,Lavender Oil, Rose Absolute, Chamomile Blue Oil,Tagetes Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Lavender Flowers,Limonene, Linalool.

I cant decide if I like the product or not...I think I do but let met explain why I am a bit unsure. I love the smell but it is a strong lavender scent so if you don't like the smell of Lavender then I wouldn't recommend buying this. At first I wasn't too keen on the smell but now I oddly really like it.  I also love like I mentioned before, that the products are not tested on animals and that this is also made in England!

There is directions on how to use this and let me say one thing, its messy! But you do kind of get the knack of it after a while. To apply you need to take a pea sized amount (I tend to take a bit more because I drop half of it) and then you add some water until its a paste or milk texture and then rub over your face, massage in and rinse. This is very crumbly which is why it can get messy!

Now I am unsure on this because I cant say I have noticed any difference in my appearance. I cant say that it has reduced redness or evened out my skin tone. I do find my face becomes quite red when I have used this which I find a bit odd and I haven't noticed an improvement to my complexion.  I also found using my 'new' skin regime actually made my skin really bad so I stopped using all the products and now use the odd few and thankfully it has approved. Maybe it was more to do with that.

I dont know if I will purchase this again but I think I will continue to use this to see if I can make up my mind. I really do love most Lush products I have tried. Here is my review on the Lip scrub I did Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub .

Has anyone else tried this?

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

I bought this as a cheaper alternative (£5.50) to Fresh Sugar Lip Polish ($22.50) as I cant justify paying around £12 for some sugar.

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub contains castor sugar, organic jojoba oil, methyl Ionone flavour, colour 45410, colour 45380. Mine was also made by Pawel if anyone would like to know!

The lip scrubs are also available in popcorn and mint but the bubblegum one caught my eye, I think its because it reminded me of ice cream...

I am really impressed with this lip scrub and glad I went for it as it does what it says. It leaves my lips in tip top condition, clears dead skin and flakiness, leaving them smooth and the smell is amazing! Its a great base for lipstick. I also love the fact Lush is against animal testing.

The only down point is that it can be a bit sickly if you put too much on or if your not a fan of sweet things.

I will definately buy this again and I showed it to my sister who also liked it :)
