Fall LUSH Haul

This is one of my favorite times of year at LUSH.  They have a whole collection of Halloween products out and there's also the anticipation of the Christmas collection.  So, this weekend I popped into the LUSH shop with my sister so that we could check out the Halloween products!




1. Sparkly Pumpkin
I love this bubble bar! I think it is so beautiful and embodies the fall season.  I wanted to buy thirty of these and set them up all around my bathroom as a fall decoration.  I love the way the glitter looks on this cute little pumpkin.  This bubble bar has almost like a grapefruit candy type of scent.  A little more on the sweeter side, as opposed to the spicy side.  Either way, really excited to try it!

2. Northern Lights
Hands down, this is the most beautiful bath bomb I have ever seen.  When I was talking to the girl in the store she said it was supposed to be reminiscent of fireworks during the party season, as well as the Northern Lights obviously.  She did a demo while we there and the colors in this are truly mesmerizing.  This is more of a foamy bath bomb and I don't know if you can see in the pictures but it has these cute little pieces of glitter stars in it.

3. Lord of Misrule
This bath bomb is more traditional and I got it because I'm obsessed with the smell.  It's very spicy and herby (if that's a word...?).  I was also excited to hear that once the green fizzes away in the bath, the bomb changes to a deep purple and turns the water a very deep wine color.  A wine bath? Yes please.

4. Wizard
This is a new product I believe and I think that he is so adorable.  This is a bubble bar and it's actually my favorite product in the Halloween line.  I ended up buying two, because I love him so much.  This has a very spicy scent and will be the perfect addition to a bath on a chilly fall night.

So that just about wraps it up.  I'm going to try and use all of these this months so I can make way for the Christmas products!! I am so excited!

What are your favorite LUSH holiday items??

Fresh Face Mask: Catastrophe Cosmetic




Hello everybody!

The past few weeks I have been using this fresh face mask called Catastrophe Cosmetic from LUSH.  Even though I would consider myself a Lushie, this was the first time I used a LUSH face mask.  I wanted to hold off until I had five empty black pots to bring in so that I could get this for free!  Since these masks are so fresh and need to be stored in a refrigerator, you can't actually order it online - you have to visit a LUSH store.

I have heard wonderful things about this face mask.  As you can probably tell by the color, this is a mask that is heavy on the blueberry side.  It has little bits of blueberry skin in it and smells amazing!  It smells like a mixture of fresh blueberries and chamomile.  For this face mask, you simply apply it, leave it on for about 10 or 15 minutes and then wash it off.  When I washed mine off, it felt like I had just removed a layer of dirty schmuck from my face and was left with new, smooth, clean, fresh skin. I can't get enough of it!

What is your favorite face mask from LUSH?
