lush haul | valentine's day edition

lush valentine's day collection - love locket, sex bomb, prince charming, and cupid's love. rose jam from their christmas collection.

First off, can I just say that Lush has its vanilla game DOWN. Never in my life have I liked anything remotely vanilla scented - it's so sickeningly sweet to me, even in small amounts. I walked into Lush not thinking I'd get any of the vanilla-y things in there but hot damn even the vanilla-boasting Butterball smells divine.

So pretty much the only thing I planned to get in there was Unicorn Horn, and one of their soaps - I didn't know which one yet, since there's so many of them! Aaaaand I walked out with many more things than that, minus the Unicorn Horn which makes me feel slightly better about myself.

lush love locket bath bomb, lush sex bomb bath bomb

First up, the bath bombs! I've only tried two so far - Sparkler and Northern Lights, which were part of their Halloween collection but were extended to the Christmas collection (I think). While they weren't as moisturizing as I would have hoped, they still make for a relaxing and luxurious bath experience so I went back for more. Love Locket is part of their Valentine's Day collection and even though it's more expensive at $11.95 compared to the regular $5 or $6-ish ones, it can be broken and used for three baths.... Which I mean, I guess justifies the price. The other one Sex Bomb - it's so pretty, and the flower reminds me of a decoration on a cake. Kinda makes me hungry, actually. It's part of their permanent collection, but it's fitting for Valentine's Day!

lush cupid's love soap

Cupid's Love soap, which actually looks nothing like what's shown on the website. This is how it's supposed to look (skip to 0:49 if you don't care about how they make it), with cute heart inserts. As you probably can tell, I did not get a cute heart insert and instead got one of the butt ends. I'm slightly disappointed but at least it smells good!

lush prince charming and rose jam shower gels

And the last two things, shower gels. Prince Charming wasn't even on my "might try it" list because it includes vanilla in the scent description. I gave it a whiff in the store and WOW it's actually much nicer than I expected. Rose Jam was part of their Christmas collection and I got it a while ago during their buy one, get one free holiday sale. I got two of them, and gave one to Vennesa. Please tell me it comes back every year, because we both love the scent!

  8. I love Lush like crazy! Rose Jam is great, and I really want to get Unicorn Horn and Love Locket. My favourite bath bomb is Dragon's Egg - it's really energizing and I love using it before a night out.

  9. That Sex Bomb bath bomb looks so pretty - that little rose inside is such a nice touch! I haven't treated myself to new Lush stuff in forever ... might have to change that ;)

  11. I've been reading so much Lush products reviews and am super tempted to try them. Sex Bomb looks adorable with the tiny rose!

  12. I really like how Prince Charming smells! It's a shame for no bathtub - but at least you'll be saving that $$, or putting it towards more makeup ;)

  13. It is very relaxing - just what I need!

  14. They say you can split it to use it 2 or 3 times, which isn't bad for the price then :P I tried Sex Bomb recently, I liked it a lot too!

  15. You should! It's one of the most moisturizing bath bombs in my opinion.

  16. I only regret not "getting" Lush sooner!

  17. Same here! I didn't like it at first but I dumped it in my basket as soon as I got a whiff of it. That's the bad part about shopping at Lush offline! :P

  18. I bought my first Lush products fairly recently, so there's always still time :P It's certainly overwhelming the first time going there!

  19. At the rate I'm going, Lush and I will be lifelong partners. Unicorn Horn seems to be sold out online and at the store I went to already, but Love Locket should still be in stores!


    I bought Dragon's Egg before this haul, I've yet to try it but a lot of people seem to have that in their favorites.

  20. The flower is my favorite part of Sex Bomb! I firmly believe Lush is the best when it comes to bodycare products :)

  21. Hahaha, at least it's an excuse to buy another one when I do :P
    And that's fine, it still smells nice and it's not like it's a gift or anything :)
    I guess I'm slowly warming up to vanilla scents!

  22. You should! If you're not too keen on spending $5 or $7 on a one use product, definitely look into their shower gels or body butters!
