Dorothy Bubble Bar
Dorothy bubble bar is awesome! I definitely did not have high expectations for this product. I thought it was the forgotten bubble bar for a reason, but I was wrong. It blew me out of the water!!!;) It made the water a light blue color with tons of fluffy bubbles. The water looks as if you were a unicorn flying through the sky, resting on a cloud above a field of flowers. Dorothy smells like apples and daisies with the slightest hint of watermelon. The bubbles lasted a very long time. It did not dry my skin out at all, either! I only used a quarter of the bubble bar and that was plenty. It retails for $6.25 so it is a very good deal for a Lush product. I am giving Dorothy bubble bar 5/5 stars. It was not my favorite scent at first but I really like it now. It just smells happy, refreshing, and clears your mind. I hope you enjoyed this review and I hope you have a super duper fantabulous day!!!!

Sexy Peel Soap
Sexy Peel Soap is an orange/lemon/citrus scented soap. It doesn't smell good until it is wet so try a sample before you judge the scent. It has a good lather and is one of my favorites. It is one of Lush's less expensive soaps which is very convenient. Sexy Peel has little pieces of orange rind throughout the soap. The texture of the soap is bumpy and feels good on sunburns. This is a great soap to have on hand in the summer. Sexy Peel makes you feel very clean and fresh. It doesn't wake you up though if that is what you are looking for in a soap. Sexy Peel deserves 5/5 stars for great pricing, great quality, and an incredible scent. The next time you are in a Lush store pick up a piece of this soap!

You've Been Mangoed Bath Melt
You've Been Mangoed bath melt is very popular and for a good reason. It smells of sweet citrus and melts like butter. It makes the water very moisturizing and relaxing. It makes your skin very refreshed afterwards. Using lotion isn't necessary if you used the bath melt. You've Been Mangoed retails for $6.25 and you can use it 2-3 times. I think that anybody would like this product. The only downfall is that it looks quite boring in the water. I am rating You've Been Mangoed bath melt 4/5 stars because it isn't entertaining whatsoever. It is an incredible product though!
Please leave me requests and have a super day!!!!

The Comforter Bubble Bar
The Comforter bubble bar is one of my favorite bubble bars. It costs $10.95 but is HUGE. I am able to use it 8-10 times typically. The Comforter smells like raspberries and black currant. It is a sweet, warm, fruity scent. It makes great bubbles that last up to an hour. Depending on how much of the product you use, you will get more bubbles and the water will be pinker. It is very soothing to your skin and relaxing. The Comforter bubble bar deserves 5/5 stars because it is just incredible! Let me know what you want more reviews on.

Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub
Rub Rub Rub is a salt based scrub for your body and scalp. It contains very course salt in a blue liquid/gel consistency. It smells like a fresh orange with salt and is slightly floral. This is a great scrub but it is ppricey. It retails for $21.95 for 11.5 fl oz (330 grams.) I personally like to use this on my face as a deep exfoliant. Although Lush does not recommend this product for your face I tried doing so. It is very harsh, so if you have sensitive skin do not even try it!!! I have very oily skin and it is hard for me to find an exfoliant that works well on me. This is it. I also use it on my body on special occasions and it does work well. For me it is too expensive to use on my body without feeling like I am wasting my money though. I am giving this product 4.5/5 stars because it is expensive. This is a product that I highly recommend trying a sample of before you purchase it. I do feel like this is one of Lush's more average products. You can find a good exfoliater anywhere, but that does not change the fact that it is still great!

No Drought Dry Shampoo
No Drought dry shampoo is a powder that you sprinkle into your hair to absorb oil. This product works greatly! It makes your hair look soft and clean, and smell fresh. If you use it carefully and sparingly it does not put a white cast on your hair. The powder massages into your scalp and disappears along with the extra oil. It is decently priced because you only need a little bit of the product for it to work well. You can purchase a 1.9 oz bottle for $6.95 or a 4.6 oz bottle for $13.95. I am giving No Drought 4/5 stars because you do have to work carefully with it. If you use to much it will leave a white cast on your hair. If you have darker hair I suggest trying a sample to make sure it disappears on you.
I hope you all enjoyed! Leave your requests in the comments below and have a super day!!!

Mint Julips Lip Scrub
Mint Julips lip scrub is a chocolate-mint flavored sugar scrub made to exfoliate your lips. To use it, dip your finger into the product and lick your lips. Transfer the product to your lips and rub them together. When you feel like your lips are exfoliated completely, lick the product off! Mint Julips is edible and it is tempting not to eat the whole pot!!! Lush's lip scrubs are very finely milled so it removes dead skin better than a home made scrub. It is also dryer than a home made scrub so it works that much better. If you want to make your own lip scrub at home, it is a great way to save money. But if you do not mind paying some money, this is a fantastic product. It is much more convenient and efficient than making your own scrub. I am giving Mint Julips lip scrub 4/5 stars because it is slightly expensive for the the amount of product you get.

Avobath Bath Bomb
When I first saw Avobath I completely avoided smelling it. I was sure that any bath product that was supposed to smell like avocado would stink. A few months ago I finally bought it and fell in love. It doesn't have anything to do with avocado except that it moisturizes your skin slightly. It smells like Dragons Egg bath bomb, but better. It has more "zing" to it and energizes you. When you drop it in the water it fizzes up very fast. It turns your water a vibrant lime green and makes it glittery. This bath bomb is very concentrated so I am able to split is in half and use it twice. Avobath has quickly become my 2nd favorite bath bomb and over summer, may become my 1st. I am giving it 5/5 stars because it is just great. I think that this is a product everyone would like.

Ocean Salt Exfoliater
Ocean Salt is one of Lush's best sellers. It is an exfoliant for your face and body. This would be great if you have dry and sensitive skin. For me personally, it didn't do the job. It was a little to gentle and creamy. The salt is very fine and there isn't a lot of it. The blend of the pot I had sampled may have been abnormal. Try a sample of Ocean Salt before you buy it because everyone's skin is different. Ocean Salt is very expensive and would be a waste of money if you don't absolutely love it. I am giving it 2/5 stars but that is my opinion. Everyone has different needs in an exfoliant and is entitled to their own opinion of how it works on them.
Watch out for my upcoming review on Gorgeous moisturizer and leave your requests in the comments below! Have a super duper great day!!!
Gorgeous Moisturizer
Gorgeous moisturizer is supposed to be the best, natural, facial moisturizer on the market. It retails for $89.95 and smells very nice. It feels very lightweight and is a medium strength moisturizer. I feel like Gorgeous clogged my pores a little bit and my face couldn't breathe. It definitely brightens and evens out your skin tone. I only had a sample so I do not know how Gorgeous works over time. From what I have seen, it should not cost $89.95. I was not impressed and I am giving Gorgeous 3/5 stars.
Leave your requests in the comments and have a great day! :) A review on Ocean Salt will go up next.

Save it Girl!!!
Let's face it. Lush is expensive and everyone hates wasting it. Here are some tips to make your Lush last longer!
1. Split your bath bombs in half
Find the weak spot and place a flat head screw driver in it. Grab a hammer and split the bomb and the price in half.
2.& 3. Cut your bubble bars and bath melts into pieces and close them in little baggies. Take a knife and gently make a grid of where you are going to cut. Gently slice straight down semi-fast. Use little treat bags or ziplock bags and stick your product in there. Get little twist ties and seal the bag. By doing this you prevent the product from drying out. You have to use more if it is dried out.
4. and 5. Cut your soap in slices and
do NOT leave them in the shower!
Cut of a piece of soap your desired size. Keep the large chunk in a ziplock bag. Set that bag on the ground next to your shower with the small slice lying in top. Don't bring the slice into the bath or shower until you are ready to use it. Stand it up onto the plastic bag a soon as you are done with it. Wait for it to dry then put it back in the bag.
Let me know if these tips were helpful and leave requests!!!! Have a great day!
Rose Jam Bubbleroon
Rose Jam Bubbleroon is awesome! It smells like sweet roses and jam. It makes great bubbles with just a little bit. I only used a quarter of the bubbleroon and it moisturized my skin really well too. You should definitely consider buying this bubble bar. It isn't too sweet or too floral, so as long as you like one of those scents, you will LOVE this. I can't say enough good things about this bubble bar. It is a perfect combination of a bath melt and bubble bar if you ask me. Without a doubt, I am rating Rose Jam bubbleroon 5/5 stars!
Don't forget to leave requests for reviews!!! Hope everything is dandy for you!
Mask of Magnaminty
The Mask of Magnaminty is made to draw out impurities and control oil. I have blackheads on my nose and chin very badly. I have been using this mask a few times a week on just those areas and any blemishes. I have seen a great improvement in my skin. It only takes one use to clear a blemish and a couple uses for white and blackheads. It is great because it dries very fast and you only need a little bit of product. Because it is so useful I think it is pretty reasonably priced. A 4.4oz (125g) small pot retails for $12.95, and a 11.1oz (315g) large pot retails for 24.95. The only bad thing is that there are ground up adukki beans in the mask meant to exfoliate your face when you rinse it off. The bad part is that they soften when they get wet and become useless. The mask smells like warm peppermint which makes up for the beans. This product is great and earned itself 5/5 stars.
The Enchanter Bath Bomb
The Enchanter bath bomb is so much fun! It smells like tangerines and bananas. It turns the water bright orange and shoots out yellow and hot pink. The colors were very pigmented and opaque. This bath bomb was great except for one big problem. It stained me, and anything I touched, pink! I was stained with pink splotches for 2 days. They were spots because the pink stays at the top of the water. It smelled really good and made the water look fun. If it hadn't stained me it would have been great. But because it did, I am giving The Enchanter bath bomb 2/5 stars.:/ Let me know in the comments if it stained you pink too.
Tea Tree Water Toner
Tea Tree Water Toner is an antibacterial toner spray. It is aimed to help people with oily and / or blemish prone skin. You can use this as a normal toner or as a spray throughout the day. I use it to cleanse and refresh my skin if I have been out for a while. This is a great purse goody. It has moisturizing properties so I think it would be good for any skin type in the summer. I suggest using this product after swimming, if you are at any germy place (like a doctor's office, the mall, amusement park), or anytime you feel you need a pick me up. I personally like to use it if I have been sweating because it cleanses and dries your face. As a toner I do not find it to work well and I would give it 1/5 stars. I think it should be marketed as a refreshing spray. If it was I would give it 4/5 stars.
Would you guys mind if put up occasionally beauty posts (makeup, hair etc.)? Let me know in the comments what you guys would like to see next! Have a great day everyone!

Sakura bath bomb
Sakura bath bomb smells like cherry blossoms and baby powder. When you drop it into the bath water it sinks, then floats and is very frothy, then sinks again. When it finally comes back up, it makes little bubbles until the bath bomb is completely dissolved. It makes the water look almost foggy. I probably would not repurchase this bath bomb except it made my skin feel great afterwards. It made my skin so soft and would be great for anyone with irritated skin. Whether you have a sunburn (like me), eczema, a rash, or anything else. Sakura bath bomb contains sea salt to soothe your skin. It doesn't moisturize your skin but you feel soft and refreshed. It also is very concentrated so you can break it in half and use it twice! I am therefore giving this bath bomb 3/5 stars. The skin properties are incredible, but the scent was not the best. Lush should also make the bath bomb more colorful and exciting. If you love the scent and have problems with your skin, you will most likely love this product.
Please leave me comments on what you would like to see reviews on!!! Have a super day;) Oh yes, and please excuse my over usage of the word "skin." Haha
