Valentine's Day! Love Locket Bath Bomb

     Love Locket is a HUGE bath bomb! It is the same amount as 1 and 1/2 of the normal bombs from Lush. It is also unique because it is in the shape of a pink heart and has a yellow key hole on the front. This bath bomb is recommended by Lush to crack open. Inside you will find a small heart with tiny heart cut outs inside of the mini-heart. This bath bomb is supposedly good for three different baths but I think you will enjoy splitting it between two the most. When you plop in the half of Love Locket it dissolves in about 20-30 seconds and disappears before your eyes! You are left with baby pink/ salmon colored water with baby pink and white hearts floating in the water and little red gel hearts drifting around. It smells fizzy like Neon Love soap and has the wonderful scent of lemongrass that I love. It is a little bit sweet with herbal vanilla. I am writing this a few days after I used Love Locket and I'm not remembering any substantial skin benefits. The overall vibe of the bath is lighthearted and light minded but still comforting. I am giving Love Locket 4/5 stars. I love that it can be used multiple times and I love the scent too. I wish the paper hearts dissolved and that the little heart inside was a bit bigger.

Valentines Day! Prince Charming Shower Gel

     Prince Charming is a bubble gum pink pomegranate and vanilla shower gel. I would recommend smelling this product before you purchase it because of the mixture of extreme scents. Fair Trade vanilla pod infusion, marshmallow root, and almond oil make a sugary sweet scent. Then they are mixed with pomegranate juice and grapefruit oil which is overall very tangy and citrusy. Super sweet and super clean scents do not always go together and you have to decide if you like the blend or not. I am personally not a fan of this scent and it makes me a bit sick. Besides all that, I do think this has an excellent creamy lather. It doesn't give loads of moisture or softness but the two elements together make your skin feel healthy and smooth. It lathers up like a dream and a little bit goes a long way. I am giving Prince Charming 4/5 because the scent is a little heavy on the citrus side of the mix. 



     Bye bye! I hope you have a day full of laughter and smiles:D and if not, there's always tomorrow:)

Valentine's Day! Neon Love Soap

     Neon Love soap smells like a strawberry smoothie and vanilla bean ice cream. It almost has the scent of fizzing soda pop...if you can smell fizz! Haha:) Every slice of soap comes with a part of a white heart to make every piece beautiful and artistic. As you use Neon Love you will notice strawberry seeds in it! (I think they are strawberry seeds...?) It has a very smooth formula that glides onto your skin as it nourishes. It leaves your skin full of moisture but without a residue. I'm pretty sure it didn't scent my skin but I'm not positive because I have a cold. Therefore my sniffer is a little bit broken haha! I overall really like Neon Love soap. It is creamy but not runny, it still has a great bubbly lather. My favorite thing about Neon Love is that you can really feel it nourish your skin and help it become renewed. I can see this being wonderful to use in the summer after swimming in a pool. I am giving Neon Love 5/5! I love the visual creativity of the soap and the new innovative formula and scent.

Space Girl Bath Bomb!!!

     Space girl bath looks like a purple planet with a dash of glitter! It smells like black currant, vanilla, candy, and sparkles! Lush was genius with the creation of this scent because it is very age friendly. I can see 5 year olds loving it and 50 year olds and up loving it! The scent is sophisticated and feminine but still has the sweetness  of candy. Space girl, like limited edition Cinders, has popping candy in it! Space girl didn't pop as much as Cinders but still served its purpose of sounding like passing meteorites! After the bath bomb stopped fizzing, it left a whisper of white foam on the surface of the water which was beautiful and artistic with the little gold and silver glitters. As soon as the water was disturbed the foam went away. When you get out of the bath you will probably have delicious smelling skin and will be speckled with glitter. One of my favorite qualities of Space girl is the scent, it will help you drift off to sleep. One of the downfalls is the price quality. It is 4.2 fluid ounces which is in the middle of the small and large sized bath bombs from Lush. It costs $5.25 and I recommend only using it once. The color of the water is a transparent purple that comes off as foggy lavender. If you used any less of the bath bomb than all of it you would have very ugly gray water. Overall I think Space girl deserves 4/5 stars. The experience was very enjoyable but the price stings a little bit and I was not fond of the glitter getting stuck to me.

Amandopondo Bubble Bar!

Amandopondo is scented of rose, lemon, and orange oils. When you run the bath and use Amandopondo, the bubbles are light and airy. They remind me of poly-fill in a way. There is a light fresh scent that is mind clearing and gives off positive energy and positive vibes. Not to mention positive feeling skin! It makes your skin soft and smooth to the touch. I also love the look of the bubble bar. It is a white oval with a dried rose bud sticking out of the top. It is classy and elegant. I would imagine that in the old days this is what a costly bubble bar would look like. There isn't much to say about Amandopondo other than its smell is refreshing and it makes nice light bubbles. I am giving this bubble bar 4/5 stars because the bubbles aren't too durable. They pop easily when touched or moved.



     I hope you enjoyed this review! Have any request for me to review? Leave a comment on my Instagram @thelushlifexo ! Smile today because it might be the only sign of happiness someone witnesses:)

Fantabulous Friday: Angel Candy!

     Using up the rest of your holiday products? Well here is a delicious bath to relax you and make you feel magically incredible! Start with running water and hold The Magic Wand bubble bar underneath it. When you have enough bubbles throw in half of a Luxury Lush Pud. You can scrub your hair and body with Rose Jam shower gel to get luscious and smooth skin. If you have especially dry areas take Snowcake soap and repeat over the needed areas. Finish up with a layer of Dream Cream that will give you angelic skin! This bath is very relaxing, pampering, and not to mention yummy! More specifically it smells like you are in a candy shop, but don't worry! It's not too strong!
   
     Don't forget to take your contagious smile everywhere you go!

Retro Reviews: Coolaulin Conditioner

     Coolaulin hair conditioner is made for curly frizzy hair and is awesome! It is made with coconuts and leaves your hair smelling sugary and sweet. This is the most moisturizing hair conditioner I have used from Lush. It makes your hair silky, soft, and smooth but doesn't take out your natural curls or way them down! If you give it a few minutes to sink into your hair you will be shocked! Your hair will absorb so much of the product there will be very little to rinse off. I can't recommend the Coolaulin conditioner enough and I think that everyone can use it too, not just curly hair girls. If you have thin or fine hair, curly and course, or any kind of hair you will still like Coolaulin. Because of this I am giving Coolaulin 5/5 stars. The only reason why someone wouldn't like this conditioner is if you don't like the smell of coconut or sweets. It smells most strongly of coconut when you are using it in the shower and is very faint afterwards. Your hair will mostly smell like sweets afterward and the coconut isn't too identifiable. This is a retro product so you have to order it online and you can't try a sample first but I can almost completely guarantee that you won't have problems with it. I haven't found any at least! 


Have a wonderful day everyone! Pour out some of the love and happiness of your heart on someone else today:)
