A Late Christmas Present - Lush Winter Garden

I finally met up with some friends for a late Christmas get together and i was very pleased to be gifted with this set from Lush. This is the Winter Garden Set, which has four gifts for sensitive skin. As i have eczema any products which are great for sensitive skin are right up my street. 

The products inside are as follows:Rose Jam Shower Gel (100g), Ro's Argan Body Conditioner (45g), Sultana of Soap (100g), Helping Hands Hand Cream (trial size).

I was so happy with this because I have never tried ANY of these products so this was the perfect gift.

The Rose Jam shower gel is one i had seen various times in lush, and i have had the Rose Jam bath bomb, so if it smells anything like the one i will be very happy as i loved how that smelt in my bath. I can't wait to give this a try, as i have a few shower gels this one will have to wait but i will be surely enjoying that in a shower soon.

I have wanted to try the Ro's Argan Body Conditioner and was actually on my list of products i want to try and now i can try this smaller sample size to see if i like it before i decide to buy a full size. I have heard it is great on the skin, i shall have to let you know how i get on with this, it does smell very nice and the fact it has organ oil as well as various butters in it makes it sound very appealing. 

I can't say i have heard of Sultan of soap before but Lush is know for it's wide, every changing products, so many products get missed, however this soap is highly moisturising which is something i look most. Mt favourite soap is the Snowcake which only comes out at xmas which is moisturising also so it will be great to have an all year around soap i can turn to when snow cake is away. 

Finally the helping hands cream sample will go perfectly in my hand bag as a small tin. My only gripe with this the actual tin which have always been a nightmare to open. Hopefully this would be nicer than that charity pot which really does not smell that great, I know it is for Charity and usually i do buy one but it is not something i would use on my hands everyday due to the smell.

This retails at Christmas from £18.99 and so far there have been two versions (Red last year and this year it was Purple). However you can get all the items bar Rose Jam which is a limited edition, linked now in store as full sized items, so if you want to try them, you can. 

It may return next Christmas so if you like this look at this, i would keep your eyes peeled at Christmas. 

Golden wonder - Lush Bath Bomb

Golden Wonder is one of the top selling bath bombs from Lush, especially at the Christmas period. It is a glittery bath bomb in the shape of a present with a fresh white bow on top. But the interest that sparked my attention is what's in that present, if you shake it you will hear some sort of rattle inside and when i picked this one up at Lush, i really wanted to know what makes you wonder about this golden surprise. 

As i dropped it in the bath, i was surprised to see after a few minutes that the bath doesn't stay the golden colour like you would imagine it to. Instead inside the bath bomb is a blue coloured layer which once mixed with the gold, it turns your bath green. 

This is a great idea, however for a Christmas Bath bomb, the bath turns more of a lime green which to me isn't really the green of christmas. However the added fun of the bath really was nice to see. 

As the bath bomb began to disolve further the rattling surprise became apparent and i begn to see little stars floating around in the bath. I can't say i was overall impressed by this and the stars were a bit lacking.

However Lush has improved with it's products and Golden Wonder highlights this especially.  In a lot of the older lush products, these little surprises used to contain little plastic parts which have sadly been found in dead fish and marine life across the world. As Lush's policy is against animal testing and product threats to animal life, Lush soon changed these Part's to more dissolvable substances which will now form a part of the water cleaning process and will not end up in our lakes, rivers and surrounding oceans. Major props Lush!

Overall for me the bath bomb is great but i can't say that it will be one on my list to repurchase. My favourite lush bath bombs are more creamy and moisturising and as someone who suffers from dry skin, i really love the bath bombs that help me out just that little bit. I feel this is one for a bit of added fun for your bath time and if you really love to look that much more glittery than normal.

Golden Wonder is a Lush Christmas only Bath Bomb and will not only be available in Lush stores participating in the Lush Christmas stock sale.
