Christmas Lush Haul

Perusing the stands at Lush lately, I've been left feeling a little .. well .. underwhelmed with this year's holiday selections. But however, the old faithfuls have stepped up yet again. I thought I'd share some of my all time holiday favourites, a review as promised and some of my purchases with you.

Christmas Lil' Pud.  A holiday favourite.  Perfect to cozy up at twilight, post-dinner and afternoon nap into a bath then followed by mulled wine and a Christmas movie to finish off Christmas Day. Love!

A festive bath. Yes! You can have a bath in summer. Read here for tips.

Rain.  Oh lord, has it rained.  It has been a dreary start to summer. The upside? being toasty warm, curled up reading a good book while the rain pelts down outside. 
Bathos Bubble Bar ,a new favourite. I don't know how I've missed this one all my life.

Violets, Aphrodiastic Jasmine and Ylang Oils. Technically not a Christmas edition, but nether-the-less perfect to calm yourself after the hectic last-minute late shopping ordeals.


This year has been year of the Violet for me. 2012 was defined by violets... maybe also with a hint of lavender, a dash of ylang ylang and a smothering of vanilla.  It is funny how your tastes change from season to season, year to year. But every fragrance I delved my nose into this year, would have been one of those scents.
Christmas Eve Bubble Bar.  Jasmine, Ylang ylang, gardenia and Irish Moss.
To calm those Christmas tummy tingles, as the excitement builds to the big day, you need to calm yourself and get your beauty sleep..

Twilight: a decision.

What is there not to love?  A liquid version of my top fav Lush product,  Twilight Bath Ballistic. 
Lavender heaven.  It even has Tonka. What is this Tonka you say?  Tonka Absolute is derived from the seeds of the Tonka Tree which is found in Costa Rica, Brazil and Peru.
What is there to hate?  It was limited edition :(  Should've packed my stash with this gold.
Fingernails: Butter London's holiday edition 'Fairy Lights'. A beautiful, metallic candyfloss pink.





Starbucks Tree Ornaments. Ceramic. Purchased at Starbucks.

How could I resist?  I love how they even have the drink specification tick boxes on them too.


Have you been entised into Lush yet?
