Give me your two scents!

   Lush has several sets of products that smell the same but aren't sold together or as a set. They all differ slighty but not enough that you wouldn't like its "twin" scent. None of the products look to similar so some of these might surprise you, like they did me.  Please leave comments and tell me if you think they smell alike or no.
     Each peach massage bar-slighty sweeter.
     Bohemian body soap- more 

  

     Ro's Argan Body Conditioner- fresher
     Rose Jam bubbleroon- sweeter



     Sultana of Soap- more nutty/herbal. It smells exactly the same when you use it compared to dry.
     Blackberry Bath Bomb- more berry, sweeter




     Rub Rub Rub shower scrub- saltier
     Sakura bath bomb- more floral


     Ocean Salt scrub- saltier & fruitier
     No Drought dry shampoo- more lime



     Honey Trap lip balm- more vanilla
     Mange Too massage bar- more honey

     Rockstar soap- stronger/more fragrant 
     Creamy Candy bubble bar- more sugary
     MMM (Melting Marshmellow Moment)- similar but definately more bubble gum



Sorry about the pictures:/
I accidentally deleted some of my photos of products thinking I wouldn't need them again.... Some of the ones displayed are my own and others are from google images. I also appologize that the 2 fonts are different. Sorry! Have a super day!!!

Secret Garden bath bomb! <3

Secret Garden is really nice. It makes you feel like you are swimming in the ocean at night then a wave takes you to a magical jungle pool. It smells of sweet flowers and raspberries. The bath bomb is very frothy so it it melts away slowly. It releases pockets of color so the water changes from a pink to a dark blue and then the finalley. A vibrant green like freshly cut grass. The bomb releases flower petals which you may or may not like. Secret Garden was very enjoyable so I am giving it 4.5/ 5 stars. I personally didn't like the petals. It was still a great bath bomb though and I will DEFINATELY be repurchasing this one! It is a great spring/summer scent and is a real pick me up!

Ice Blue Soap

The first time I tried Ice Blue Soap I wasn't impressed at all, but I gave it another chance and tried it again. I LOVED it! It has become one of my favorites, especially for summer. It is very refreshing and because it contains peppermint oils it leaves your skin slightly tingly afterwards. It also lasts a very long time and doesn't melt too fast. I suggest lathering it up in your hands before you try to use it on your body. There is a big difference if you do this or not. I think that everybody would like this soap. Pick up a sample the next time you go to lush!!! I am giving Ice Blue Soap a well earned 5/5 stars.


TIP:
Don't leave your soap in the shower! If it only gets wet when you use it, it won't melt away. Try taking it out and putting it in a drawer in your bathroom on a paper towel.
     Have a super duper fantabulous day!!!

Lush Haul!!!

Hey guys! I found myself inside 2 lush stores a few weeks ago and went a little crazy. I would like to say that I had been saving my money for a long time and bought everything myself (except one thing.) I'm not trying to brag in any way, shape, or form. I wanted to post this so that you can request reviews and know what I currently own. I hope you all enjoy!!!

I got :
Avobath, Sakura, Dragon's Egg, Secret Garden, and Blackberry bath bombs; The comforter, and Creamy candy bubble bar, and a rose jam bubbleroon; Ice Blue, Sultana, Rockstar, and Miranda soaps.
     I also purchased the small sizes of The Mask of Magnaminty and their Tea tree toner water. I got a Karma solid perfume, Seanick solid shampoo bar, No Drought dry shampoo, and a Honey Trap lip balm. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Mint Julips lip scrub and Ro's Argan Body Conditioner. 
     The lady at the the store was very generous and gave me the small size of Buffy body butter! That really made my day:)



     Leave your requests for reviews in the comment box. Hope you are all having a great day!!!:P

Blackberry Bath Bomb

  This is my favorite bath bomb! Since it is so big and the way it reacts, I split it into two pieces. Two baths for 6.35 is a good lush deal to me! It fizzes up very fast and turns the water a dark purple blue color. This bath bomb also has a surprise to float out. It smells like a ton of berries mashed up together and is soft and sweet. It is very relaxing but doesn't make you sleepy or tired. The bath bomb is very soothing and your skin feels moisturized after. This is my favorite bath bomb and deserves 5/5 stars. Good job lush!
(I put an edit on the top right picture. Don't worry the water doesn't actually look like that!!! I just wanted to show how much it spreads out in the water and effects it.)

Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb

Dragons Egg Bath Bomb

One of Lush's best sellers is the Dragon's Egg bath bomb. It smells like fruit loops with frosting and lemon. It is a sweet, fruity, citrus scent. This bath bomb was made after the movies in the "Harry Potter" series and it sure does come alive! It is very frothy and as it disintegrates, it releases little surprises. It breaks into two pieces as "fire" shoots out of it. You are then left with an orange bath  full of golden glitter and lustre. Dragon's egg does not have many skin benefits so it is not one of my favorites; it is still lots of fun though. I am giving this bath bomb 3/5 stars.



Ro's Argan Body Conditioner

     What a cute name! Ro's Argan Body Conditioner is described on lushusa.com as a rose jam scented body lotion for the shower. You use Ro's Argan as you would a hair conditioner, but for your body. Slather it on while you are in the shower and let it sink into your skin, then rinse of the extra. I sometimes use it to shave dry if I'm in a time crunch. If I do that I wipe of the extra with a tissue.
It initially had a faint scent of roses and baby powder to me. As I dissected the scent more I picked up on a slight fig scent also. This is an all around great product if price doesn't bother you. It retails for $32.95 so I am giving it 4.5/5 stars. If it were cheaper it would be the perfect product.


Although I love this product I recommend smelling it in a store to be sure you love it too because the scent lingers on your skin.
