Hey!
So the other day I popped into Lush before work to buy a birthday gift for my boyfriends mum, I bought her the Rosie gift box, (I will leave the link below).
I think this was such a great gift and it smelt amaaaazing! I thought it was such a great value too, it was only about $30 (NZD) and you got 4 items; a bubbleroon (bubble bath shaped like a macaron), a bubble bar, a ballistic (bath bomb) and an in-shower moisturiser.
The moisturiser itself is the same price as the whole gift pack normally! Obviously it is a smaller size in the box, but still! I feel like this is such a great value having all 4 things in the one box, that I'm considering just buying one for myself!
I did actually buy a bubbleroon for myself though because it just smelt so amazing and a girl has gotta love a good bubble bath!! ....See now this is where going into a Lush store to buy something for someone else becomes a big mistake. You just end up wanting to get all of the things for yourself too!
I did manage to control myself though and only buy 2 little things for me...ok maybe with the help of not being able to actually DECIDE on any of the other amazing things and also because I was getting hungry and wanted to get some lunch before having to make a mad dash into work.
Anyway.. Onto the things I mainly came here to review tonight..well actually just one!
Aside from the bubbleroon which I haven't used yet, the second item I bought for myself was the butter ball. (Pictured below)
I have to say I was quite disappointed with this purchase! It just really didn't do anything for me, this was my second ever Lush buy and I think if I hadn't seen the other products such as the gift box or any of the other things in store, say maybe if this was a gift to me, I probably wouldn't have gone back to Lush at all.
I have heard a lot of reviews and exciting remarks about Lush for a long time now, and I also was given the cupcake face mask a few years back for my birthday which I loved (smells divine btw!) so when I got home and ran a bath excitably looking forward to trying out my new bath bomb, the result was quite a down fall.
I chucked it in the bath expecting it to be throwing off some amazing scents and maybe some hidden magical colours to change the bath water, like some of the other things do. But really this was just a normal run of the mill bath bomb. Ok, so yes it is white, but for some reason, I guess because of all the Lush hype out there, I was just really excited and expected a whole lot more than what I got.
When you pick up the bubble bar and smell it, it smells like fizzy lollies (candy), it's a lovely gentle sweet smell! It has cocoa butter, musk (my all time FAVOURITE scent) and ylang ylang essential oils in it. I really did expect these to come out in the water and maybe become intensified by the heat of the water and the steam. But there was nothing, once it had finished fizzing away it was as if I hadn't even put a bath bomb in, apart from a few drops of oils floating on the surface of the water, but even they disappeared after a while :(
My skin did feel a little soft while I was in the bath, I will give it credit for that, but once I was dry..again, no difference.
I don't know, maybe I was expecting to much from a bath bomb? Maybe that IS all they're supposed to do? I really haven't been a purchaser of lush for long enough to know, but all in all, I was pretty disappointed and am really hoping to have some good news to report on the bubbleroon!
I really wouldn't recommend the butter ball to anyone really, I mean at least if the scents were stronger rather than throwing out any colours, I would have been a heck of a lot happier and it would have actually made this item a nice subtle gift for someone or something perfect for a nice relax after a long hard day or week.
But nope, sadly this just didn't cut it.
I've put the links below of the items I've mentioned, go check them out for yourself and let me now what you think! I really hope the bubbleroon is exciting so I can sit here and type up and excitable review.. And maybe even have some cool pics to show you. - haha that was another thing, I even got my phone ready, dangerously hanging over a bath full of water to get some snazzy pics of it.. But Uhm..nope. Lol
Well I hope I have given a bit of insight and people can then go out and make their own decision, I think Lush has a lot of amazing things to offer for rather reasonable prices, so I do hope people don't try this as their first Lush item and get put off, definitely go in and buy a few things and check reviews before shopping! (I never did this) so learn from my mistakes :P
Ciao for now! xxx
