Scrub-a-dub-dub

Is there anything more relaxing than a warm bath after a long, stressful day? Yes! A warm bath filled with goodies from LUSH!

If you've never heard of LUSH Cosmetics, then you haven't been frequenting the YouTube or Blogger beauty community enough. LUSH is a retail store that sells handmade, organic bath, shower, soap, hair and skin products -- and much more. I really love that LUSH products contain very little preservatives and products are wrapped in as little packaging as possible -- an environmentally friendly company, who knew!


Now let's move on to the good stuff. I recently took a quick trip to hell-on-Earth (aka Herald Square in NYC) to visit my local LUSH. While I was almost enticed by two new LUSH products, the Bubblegum Lip Scrub and the Turkish Delight Body Polish, I stuck with bath products.

As I've previously mentioned, I just moved into my new apartment which has the loveliest tub in the world -- ok, maybe not the loveliest, but it's all my mine! Now that the icky factor of taking baths in the same tub as roommates is gone, I immediately drew a bath with my Butterball Bath Bomb. Heavenly!

Let's get on with it, shall we?


The sweet smell of vanilla and relaxing properties of the ylang ylang were perfection. The scent was not at all overwhelming and the bath bomb left the water and my skin feeling oh-so-soft.


I think this bath bomb is the closest thing to a dessert inspired fragrance that is offered by LUSH. It is absolutely true to its name -- a vanilla fountain. This bath bomb is oh-so-sweet.


I just had to buy this bath bomb because it screamed girly. That is all.



I'm a huge fan of honey-based products. Something about the smell of honey is so comforting to me. If you love honey and caramel, this is for you!


Comforter Bubble Bar is one of LUSH's bestsellers. Although I haven't tried it yet, just from smelling it and seeing it, I know why. It smells of blackcurrant but is absolutely not overwhelming. It's also quite large in size compared to the other bubble bars so you can split this into at least 2 baths!



This is one of LUSH's newest products. This bath melt can be divided into 3 pieces which really makes this a great deal. A bath melt full of cocoa butter for moisture and cherries for fragrance -- delicious!


So how did I do? It's a bit cheesy trying to describe fragrances! Please share your favorite LUSH bath products -- I definitely want to try more!

xo, Amy
