My Top Five: LUSH Bath Products




Hello again!

It has been too long! 

However, I am back and I have made it through the first term and a half of school and I couldn't be anymore relieved..hahaha

Today I am going to do a top 5 bath products from my favourite store LUSH! I was thinking of doing a bit of a Lush series, like bath products, face products etc. I have never used any of the makeup but I think it might be fun to dabble in it a bit if thats what you guys want!

So here we go, my top 5 bath products from Lush!


Sakura $6.50

Sakura Bath Bomb: Now this one is not one of the bath bombs that make lots of colours and bubbles however, it has the most amazing smell once it rests in the bath! It smells like cherry blossoms and oranges and the scent lingers on you skin for ages after you get out of the bath. My skin always feels nice and soft after I get out of this type of bath. I usually combine it with a non-scented bubble bath so I can get all those bubbles.





Sex Bomb $6.50

Sex Bomb Bath Bomb: I lovvvve the colour this bath bomb turns your bath, its the prettiest pink colour! It has a pretty strong floral scent (so if thats not your thing maybe skip this one) and like Sakura the scent lingers for ages after you hop out of the bath. Also like Sakura, my skin was super dooper soft and I didn't even need to moisturise after! 


The Magic of Christmas $12.50

The Magic of Christmas Bubble Bar: Eppp, yes I know, this is a limited edition and you can't get this all year but I couldn't not include it! I love this bubble bar because it gives you amazing bubbles, an amazing orange colour with glitter and an amazing cinnamon scent! This bubble bar lasts so long as well because you only have to swirl it around your bath when the tap is running and it works perfectly! Make sure you pick one up this christmas! I promise its the best! However it does leave a bit of glitter on the sides of the bath after you let the water out, so be prepared to clean!


Yuzu & Cocoa Bubbleroon $7.50

Yuzu & Cocoa Bubbleroon Bubble Bar: I could be wrong but I think this bubble bar is fairly new. I absolutely love love love this scent! It has an amazing coconutty and chocolate smell and since coconut is one of my favourite scents I really like it! You just need to crumble it in the running water and it creates the greatest bubbles that last for ages! 


    
Intergalactic $8.95

Intergalactic Bath Bomb: Finally my number one! Intergalactic is an amazing looking bath bomb and has a really strong pepperminty and fresh scent. This bath bomb turns your bath a beautiful deep blue colour and has heaps and heaps of silver glitter in it! When I first used it I thought I was going to have to have a shower to get all the glitter off but it didn't stick and that was super impressive! Like sakura, I mix this with a scentless bubble bath to get bubbles and that creates my perfect bath! However, like the magic of christmas, it does leave a bit of glitter on the sides of the bath after you let the water out, so be prepared to clean, but I promise its worth it!




So there we have it friends! My top 5 bath products from Lush! Although I do love all these products, they can be quite expensive, so hopefully this will help you out if you have a limited budget to spend on bath time!

Skincare for Sensitive Skin



I have never really gotten along with my skin, I mean I never got extremely bad acne or anything but between constantly being in the swimming pool and the fairness of my skin, my face has always been quite hard to look after. I have really sensitive skin, and over the past 8 or so weeks I have experimented with a lot of products and nearly all of them gave me rashes, redness and dryness all over my face. It was only a few weeks ago that I found a few products that I am super happy with and have calmed down my skin and really cleared it up! 

So I thought I would share the products that I use on my face everyday with you, none of these products are going to break the bank and some are even under $10! So if you have sensitive skin I highly recommend all of these products!

Eau Thermale Avene Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream
L'occitane Immortelle Oil Makeup Remover: This is the first product I use every night to get rid of all my makeup and it works extremely well. I was a bit scared of using an oil because I thought it might make me break out but I was pleasantly surprised by how easily it got rid of all my makeup (even waterproof mascara!) while leaving my skin clean, soft and not too oily.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub: I usually use this scrub three times a week. It is strong enough to really get rid of that dry skin while not being so harsh that it leaves your skin red and sore. To make this scrub even better it only costs around $12 here is Australia making it the perfect exfoiliater for those who don't want to break the bank but still get the quality results. 

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo Cleanser: This cleanser is great because it leaves my skin feeling soft and clean without leaving any redness. It doesn't have a strong fragrance and it gets rid of any makeup that the oil may have missed. I use this cleanser every morning and night and it really keeps my skin nice and clean. 

Kora Organics Calming Lavender Mist: This product is a more luxurious step in my night time skincare routine that isn't necessary if you don't like spending much money on skincare. I use this mist in replace of a toner and it is just really refreshing and has a lovely light lavender scent. I believe this product lives up to its claim that it is calming, and sometimes at night when i am doing homework or just laying around I like to use this and it quite revitalising. 

Kora Organics Purifying Day & Night Cream: I use this moisturiser every morning after my cleanser before I apply my makeup. Ever since I have started using this moisturiser I have noticed such a difference in my skin. Every time I use it, it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. It's great for using in the morning because it immediately sinks into your skin and doesn't sit on your skin. This is definitely my favourite moisturiser I have ever used. It is on the pricier side for me, but I totally think it is worth it!

Eau Thermale Avene Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream: I use this moisturiser every night after I cleanse because it is far thicker and takes a far longer time to sink into my skin than the Kora moisturiser does. I don't mind though because when I wake up in the morning my skin is soft and hydrated. I get really bad dry skin because I am constantly in a chlorinated pool, so this moisturiser is perfect to restore hydration in my skin. 

The Body Shop Vitamin E Eyes Cube: I use this product every morning before I apply makeup and I find that it does help hydrate my under eye area as well as improve my dark circles. I have tried many eye creams and I have found that most react strangely with my skin and make my under eyes very itchy. This product is great because it gets rid of those under eye circles without damaging my skin and leaving it red. 

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub: I use this lip scrub nearly every morning before I apply my Body Shop lip balm and it leaves my lips nice and soft for the whole day. I love the lush lip scrubs and I especially like the popcorn flavour but I haven't seen it in a while!

Eau Thermale Thermal Spring Water: This product I put in my hand bag on hot days and I use if I am getting really hot or if I have got a little sunburn. I have really fair skin and it gets damaged by the sun easily so this product is perfect for summer in Australia when it gets extremely hot and sweaty!
