I wasn’t sure if I would like the scent very much because of the way it was described by a fellow Lushie. It’s slightly herbal. An off-putting aspect of it is it smells like extinguished cigarettes in an ashtray if you put your nose to the bottle =(. Once it’s being used, it’s more of …
Lush Review: Porridge Soap
I can’t believe I haven’t done a review on Porridge. It was one of the first Lush soaps I tried. I love the honey sweetness but there’s also a slight sourness to the scent which I don’t especially like. In use, the scent of the soap is more agreeable to me; there’s a consistent sweetness. …
Lush Review: Karma Bath Cocktail
Another great bath cocktail. I felt a bit more relaxed since I had the luxury of time on a quiet mid-day/early evening. This citrusy bath is very sweet; think Trix cereal and Tang powder mix. Many times I wash my hair in the shower afterwards so I may not get the full benefits of the …
What’s In My Night Stand? & SoftLips
Cotton gloves and socks (a gift to me from a previous co-worker), under eye cream (for nighttime; I use whatever samples I’ve accumulated and I’m not totally brand loyal), assorted travel-sized Victoria Secret lotions from the Secret Garden Collection, a big tube of Clarins Hand & Nail Treatment Cream (which I use especially during the …
Lush Review: Nostalgic Bath Cocktail
Sometimes I feel like Des Esseintes, Joris-Karl Huymans’ main character in Against Nature, striving to create a small world of Lush decadence whenever I can… Tonight’s bath cocktail was white and frothy with a delicate fresh scent, reminding me of 7UP and Sprite soda pops which I would gladly consume during those boring adult dinner …

So pretty to look at. Vetivert Oil Candy flowers Gardenia Extract Jasmine oil Vanillin 1 Christmas Eve Bubble Bar: Floral scent. Gorgeous blue …
Lush Review: Sunnyside Bath Cocktail
This was the best bath cocktail I’ve made so far. I imagine this will be hard to top! Please read on… 1 Street Party Bath Bomb: Sweet champagne scent. This bath bomb is a lot of fun to watch as it fizzes and reveals its hidden surprises =); however, it does take a little effort …
Lush Review: Candy Sweet Orange Bath Cocktail
This one is from last night. An uplifting sweet and floral mix. A really fun feminine bath. Who could ask for more? 1 Hot Java Bath Ballistic: I messaged a Lush guru regarding her big order from Lush England. She claimed the shipping wasn’t too bad but I beg to differ. This is the last …
