Lush Flosty Gritter Bubble Bar

Yes yes yes, im here.... AHGAIN! This time, it's the turn of Flosty Gritter (spelling is correct haha!), a bubble bar. I LOVE THIS, like actually LUUURVE it! If anyone has tried the American Cream conditioner, then this bar smells exactly like that. A mix of vanilla cream, strawberry and a slight hint of lavender. YUMMY! The bubble bar itself is pink and glittery, so be warned as it will transfer onto hands, clothes and sheets lol! Once crumbled this turns the bath water a really lovely shade of pink, and on closer inspection very subtley glittery. If you've ever used sunnyside bubble bar (the gold one), then the result is very similar. It's been said that sunnyside makes the water look like liquid gold... and so flosty gritter makes it look like liquid ... pink... gold? If that's even a thing. Its really nice, and an added bonus is that the glitter doesnt transfer onto your skin, so you won't come out of the bath looking like a disco ball. :D It creates very luxurious creamy bubbles, and LOTS of them. I highly recommend this one, its so girly, mmm! A well deserved 10/10. I will definitely be repurchasing this for as long as they sell it. xx

LUSH magic mushroom

So, these little cuties are Lush's new limited edition >Valentines treats for 2010. If you're a Lushie, like me, you'll know all about them, but for the benefit of people who might not know about them, they're from Lush's range of 'bubble bars'... and can either be used whole, or cut up into perhaps halves. They say crumble these under hot running water into your bath tub, but i find for best results, put the plug in, and crumble these into a dry bath first, THEN, once its all smooshed, run the water on top of the mixture. I find this way created A LOT more bubbles, and you'll find the bubbles last longer aswell.

Now, the smell of these beauties, is DIVINE! Simply put... they smell like strawberries and cream. The smell is taken from their other cult product - 'yummy yummy yummy', a pink toned shower gel made from fresh strawberries. The white part of the mushroom itself is meant to smell like vanilla, but the strong scent of strawberry taken from the red part is quite overpowering and seems to dominate the scent (not that i'm complaining). Once the water is run, you're left with a dark pink/red toned bath water and lots of silky creamy bubbles. Its such a lovely experience, i urge you to go out and buy one, even just to try. I believe they retail at around £2.25, although i can't be exactly sure. Out of ten, i score this Lush product 8.5/10. It is gorgeous, but points knocked off because i wished the scent lingered longer on the skin after you've had your bath. :)
