Thanksgiving Dinner...Then What?

     Thanksgiving dinner.. then what? I'll tell you what! Take this wonderful Lush bath!!! To start, run some water and hold a chunk of Hot Milk bubble bar under the stream for silky skin that makes pajamas even cozier! To make your bath even better throw in half or less of a Honey Bee bath bomb for a layered scent. Honey I Washed the Kids soap is great if you need scented suds to wash your skin. Buffy body butter can scrub your dead skin off and moisturize your body even in this cold weather. If you need yet another layer of moisture, Mange Too massage bar can face you with a honey scented armer against the harsh wind and dry air. You will be the coziest and best smelling thing out there if you take this bath! Hope you all enjoyed and had a great Thanksgiving if you celebrate it! <3bye bye

Father Christmas!

     Father Christmas smells like sugary oranges (satsuma.) I made my sister smell it and she said it smelled like cat litter and I have to agree. When it is fizzing in the bath it gives off a much better scent. Father Christmas is designed to look like Santa's fuzzy face. The "beard" makes tiny bubbles and the "skin" which is a light pinky red color fades away. Coming from the inside of the bath bomb is a stream of color. The water becomes an emerald green that is gorgeous! It rejuvenates and refreshes your skin. I am rating Father Christmas 4/5 stars because it is a little bit boring. It is screaming with cuteness and is a cool concept but it fell right under my Lush expectations. The biggest let down was the scent. Most Lush products are unique with different combinations of scents. This scent I have smelled before unlike other Lush scents.

Happy Thanksgiving week everyone! Get ready for some supper posts and check out my latest YouTube video if you haven't already! Hugs and kisses-Mikayla:)

The Luxury Lush Pud

     The Luxury Lush Pud smells like Twilight bath bomb but gives off a more herbal scent instead of sweet. The design of this bath bomb is so cute! The base is a dark purple with a white top covered in darling poka dots and mistletoe. When if fizzes up the water is consumed in a cloud of rich purple pigment. I used only half of the bath bomb and the water was extremely dark. The white part foams up along with the pastel poka dots.

     The Luxury Lush Pud doesn't do anything much for your skin so I am rating it 3/5 stars. I wish it had some shimmer in it and was a little more spunky. If you are going to make a Limited Edition item it should be awesome! I would choose Twilight over the Luxury Lush Pud any day. Twilight is the bomb diggity and the Luxury Lush Pud just doesn't cut it without being paired with other products.

When you touch the water that^ design dissapears leaving the water a bit boring.

     How have you done with the challenge I gave you last week??? Let me know by commenting on my Instagram @thelushlifexo

10 Reasons Why I Love Lush!!!<3

1. Their products are incredibly designed with different colors scents and results.

2. The ingredients aren't scary! You can pronounce the ingredient and know that it is a fruit purée or an oil from a plant.

3. They don't test on animals and they have many vegan options.

4. Lush doesn't just not use animal testing, they fight it! They are trying to make a difference further than just boycotting animal testing.

5. Lush is extremely Eco friendly. The way they package (if any packaging at all) is resourceful and/or re-cycleable. The stores themselves are very Eco friendly too. The lights they use, wall paint etc...

6. Lush is accessible in many places around the world and is growing!

7. The employees are so sweet and full of joy.

8. Online orders are easy to make and they always send super fresh products! My bubble bars have never been as bubbly when I get it in the mail!!!

9. The website, emails, and "Lush Times" are great for showing you all of their products and what's new and happening! 

10. Lush isn't just a company. They are a family and a unit that is trying to bring the world a little happiness. I have never left a Lush store disappointed. The employees want you to leave happy whether you bought something or not. You are a person to them and not just a customer.

Snow Globe

     

Snow globe soap smells ridiculously incredible! It smells fresh, zesty, and zingy with a hint of fruit loops! It smells like a mix of Dragons Egg and Avobath bath bombs to me. It feels very smooth and even on your skin and is very gel like. I love this quality because it is GREAT for shaving your legs. It leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed. I really love this soap and so I am giving it 5/5 stars! The only thing is that I don't know how much I will be using it this winter because it isn't moisturizing. It definitely isn't drying but it won't be on the top of my winter soaps list. Personally I don't think that this soap belongs in the holiday line haha I would think it to be more convenient around spring time.

     Hope you all enjoyed! Don't forget to sprinkle some fairy dust today! I challenge you to do something. The next time you are out in public, whether it's shopping or walking at a park, try to make 1 person smile! If you can do that, you are making the world a better place to be in! Let's all try to change the world one smile at a time! Love you guys! Bye bye:)

Fantabulous Friday! To the Orchard!

To the Orchard is a combination of Lush products that I think go well together. The "formula" is half of a Sakura bath bomb and a third of Happy Blooming bath melt. I also like to use Rub Rub Rub scrub and to finish off your bath, Strawberry Feels Forever massage bar! The overall scent of the bath is a mix of fruits and plants but not necessarily  herbaly. It is a great transition into Fall.

     Sakura smells like orange blossoms and is very soothing. It isn't a great product to use alone but paired with other products I love it! I used Happy Blooming to give the bath more moisture and a sugary scent too. Happy Blooming also isn't an incredible product to use alone but with Sakura I adore it! The scent becomes very layered and evened out as well as the bath water.

     I used Rub Rub Rub scrub because I needed to exfoliate and that scent went with the bath haha. That surely isn't a needed product/step but the scents do go well together. Now Strawberry Feels Forever on the other hand definitely completes the perfect bath experience in this case. It is very moisturizing and more of a solid lotion than a solid oil like the other massage bars. 

The combination of all of these products is great and really recommend trying this blend together! If you have any suggestions to add on to or improve this blend, leave a comment! My Instagram is the best place to leave a comment or leave requests for reviews. My username is "thelushlifexo" 

     Have a super duper day everyone! Smile a sparkle!!!

Candy Mountain!!!

Candy Mountain is so adorable! It smells exactly like Rockstar soap and Creamy Candy bubble bar. I have reviewed Creamy Candy in the past and was not impressed whatsoever. I feel like Candy Mountain is the new and improved Creamy Candy. Candy Mountain is $0.05 more and I can use it 6-7 times compared to 4-5 times. The inside of Candy Mountain has a core of silver and pink loose shimmer. In the water there is a little glitz but not a ton. It would be great for you if you don't usually like glittery baths but want to try something new. 

     It also makes your skin feel wonderful. My skin is now soft, smooth, and just feels good haha! This is definitely a 5/5 star product and I will absolutely stock up on this Candy Mountain bubble bar before it goes out until next year!!!

     Talk to you guys later!!! <3

Tip Tuesday!

Tip Tuesday Time!

I almost always hate a Lush soap the first time I use it. I have realized that it is just dried out though! At the Lush stores the soap sits in open air all day so the outside of the soap will always be dry:/ Try your new soap a few times before you make up your mind about the product. Sometimes bubble bars are affected by this too, that's why I love ordering online! 

Love you guys, bye!!!:)

Magic Wand!

Magic Wand is a bubble bar on a stick! What? You fill your bath then swirl your wand in the water to make bubbles! The bubbles are very few and aren't durable. To get the biggest affect fill the bath half way, do your swirling magic, then run the water more. You get more bubbles this way but the pop very fast. This bubble wand is expensive and doesn't work very well at all. It smells exactly the Godmother soap which supposedly smells like Snow Fairy shower gel. It also irritated my skin slightly. I'm going to be honest, I wax extremely disappointed in this product. I am rating Magic Wand 1/5 stars. Unless you love the scent don't buy this bubble bar. 

     Hope you are all well and smiling! Btw have you heard Katy Perry's new album? Love it!!!

The Ultimate Christmas Bath and Shower! Collab w/ Ellie!!!

The Ultimate Christmas Bath!

     Get excited for the holidays and a wonderful bath! First off take a sixth or seventh of Candy Mountain bubble bar and get some bubbles brewing in the bath tub! Then get the Luxury Lush Pud bath bomb and chop that bad boy in half! When the bath is done running throw a half of the bath bomb into the water. You have cooked up a wonderfully sweet bath with lavender and cotton candy, yum! The water is a beautiful fuchsia and bubbly. Now for the icing on the cake! American Cream, Rose Jam shower gel, Buffy body butter, and Let the Good Times Roll complement the bath very well. When you get out of the bath there is no need to be sad. You are left will softly scented sweet skin. I can garrentee your skin will never have felt so soft and smooth!

The Ultimate Christmas Shower (By Ellie)

     The Ultimate Christmas Shower!

Firstly you gotta start with some Let the Good Times Roll fresh popcorn cleanser to get rid of any makeup, dirt, and general facial nuisances and make your skin super supple, then wack on a handful of our amazing new cooling face mask Rudolf! Wash that off with a bit of honey scented Gold Fun and wash yourself with it too! Give yourself a super smooth scrub down with our amazing new formula Sandy Santa! Wash the the little sandy bits off with our super creamy Snow Cake marzipan scented soap. Then I would use Rose Jam in my hair to make it super soft with Argan oil and smell DELICIOUS! After you are all dried off moisturize your skin with a blend of Celebrate! body lotion and Snow Fairy Sparkle massage bar for a super sweet, zesty, and glitter layer of protection against the cold weather. Now I want a shower!!! Would you guys do this?!
