Intergalactic
One of the newly released bath bombs, Intergalactic is quite quite strongly scented, although not as overpowering as Skydancer. At £3.95, it’s quite a pricey bath bomb, so I cut mine into half to make the bath seem a little more affordable! The disadvantage of cutting it, meant that my hands turned blue where I…

Dragon’s Egg
With a name like Dragon’s Egg, how could I try anything but this bath bomb first?! It doesn’t look all that startling when you see it in the store, but I wanted to give it a go. It does look rather plain, with these strange coloured discs sunk into it. There’s a slight citrus scent to it, but…

Granny Takes a Dip
I’d never used the Granny Takes a Dip bath bomb, so when the new bubble bar appeared in store, I was keen to try it out. The first batch in the store had a very lime green colouring to the middle, but mine is a darker green which I prefer. Granny Takes a Dip hasn’t got a particularly strong…

Refresher
With a name like Refresher, I had high hopes for this shower jelly, and I wasn’t disappointed. The lemony scent catches your attention as you unscrew the lid, and leaves you with a delicate lemon aroma on your skin. Whereas the Whoosh jelly seemed quite moist and seemed to melt a bit in the pot when it got near the…

Dreamwash Roulade
I’d never used the previous incarnation of Dreamwash, but I was drawn towards the new Dreamwash Roulade display in the shop, and decided to buy a piece to try out. Displayed as a large Swiss Roll style block, it’s cut into 100g chunks at the till. Mine was a little under 100g (more like 85g), but…

Skydancer
The sheer size of the Skydancer – Far from the Madding Guns bath bomb catches your attention, then the scent hits you around the head. Well, not literally, but it’s definitely a strong scent. In fact, I had this bath bomb in the paper bag it came in, then in a plastic freezer bag, then that…

Pumice Power
When I heard that Stepping Stone was going to be discontinued, I did wonder what the replacement would be like. Stepping Stone was a nice way to exfoliate my feet, but my hands weren’t too keen on the gritty pieces, so it wasn’t ideal for me. Thankfully, Pumice Power doesn’t need to be broken up to use…

Handy Gururgu
I spotted Handy Gurugu on the Lush website and was eager to try it out. One staff member told me that it probably wouldn’t be as good as Dream Cream for my skin, and on a separate shopping trip, a different staff member recommended it, so I came away with a small tester pot to…

Ice Blue (discontinued)
I’ve been wanting to try out Lush soaps for a while, but found the Movis soap to be a really squidgy consistency (with an overpowering aroma of bread!), and didn’t really get on with the treacle-like aroma of the original Porridge soap. But Ice Blue sounded interesting. Mainly mint scented, it has a nice clean…

Dream Cream
I’ve been waiting a while to make this blog post, as I wanted to thoroughly test out this product first. After seeing reviews on the Lush website claiming that this “cured my eczema” I will admit I was dubious. I know nothing can “cure” eczema, but my previous experience with a cream from the chemist…
