So on the day of Lush's Halloween and fall range being released I headed down to my local store (Chester) and picked up one of each bath bomb and bubble bar that was new to the season range..
Pumpkin - £3.95 (View the product online here.)
Now I was slightly shocked by the price of this bath bomb, considering it doesn't have anything inside like others it's slightly on the price side of things... I was expecting the price to be around £3.75 like the other Lush ones, never the less I had to get one. But when I smelt the product I fell in love, the scent is nothing like other Lush products in-fact its a lot more spice like with a hint of strong orange... I loved it that much I ended up buying two, when I put it into the water I noticed the bath bomb melted away very very fast but the smell was so desirable it stuck around my bathroom for hours after I finished my bath.
Would I buy this product again? Yes!!! No question about this product, I love the scent and how powerful it is.
Monsters Ball - £4.25 (View the product online here.)
Now among my stalking on the show case event, this was probably the product I was most excited to try out purely because of the usual look it has unlike the other Lush bath bombs... When I went into store I was instantly put of by the price, I was rather shocked... But then staff came over and explained the eye of the ball was in fact a bath melt and then they went and demo'ed the product in store... I loved the bright colours that burst out of the product, and the smell was very 'lush' like with a very fresh, soft and somewhat sweet scent. 
Would I buy this product again? Possibly, as a one off every now and then the only thing which puts me off this product is the price.

Sparkly Pumpkin - £3.95 (View the product online here).
As usual Lush HAVE to bring back the good oldies, and this pumpkin bubble bar is defiantly one of them. As for the price it's not one of my favorite products again for the size, I slightly feel a little ripped off but never the less I had to purchase! It's one of these very glittery products, you pick it up and and are instantly left with glittery finger tips. You would probably get two decent baths out of this or one very luxury bath!
Would I buy this product again? Yes, honestly this product has been around for awhile each time this season comes it's just one of those things you end up buying even when you say no...

 Autumn Leaf - £3.75 (View the product online here).
Now this is one of the top favorites of the Halloween range products, this reminds me of the 'SUPERDAD' bath bomb because if the height.. The product itself is very 'average' among the style and colours, but I love when you place this product in the water it can float along the top leaving a perfect picture moment!
Would I buy this product again? Yes 100% I love how this just floats among the top of the water, the design is cute and different and isn't too badly priced.


Lord Of Misrule - £3.95 (View the product online here).
This bath bomb is very spice oriented in regards to its scent, plus I do admit it being rather on the strong side but it does grow on you over time. At first the price shocked me a little, but when I used the product it changed my mint 100%. The product itself is green on the outside, but once placed among the water and starts to fizz it turns into a pinky/red wine like colour its so beautiful and pretty to capture.
Would I buy this product again? Possibly, it wouldn't be my first choice as there is many others I would possibly choose first but the product itself is much more of the luxury bath bomb you would use for a one off occasion.

 Boo - £3.50 (View the product online here).
Again, this is something new to Lush this year and I was rather excited because of how festive it is.. When I saw the price I was completely put off, it is very overpriced considering other bath melts are £2 each. Never the less I had to buy one just to try, the scent itself isn't very overpowering it's a simple smell that reminds me of herbs and somewhat of a light lavender which leaves the water a milky colour with very few bubbles. 
Would I buy this product again? Honestly, no I felt the scent wasn't anything which stood out or lasted long and for a melt it was somewhat overpriced.

 Overall I will honestly say I love some of the designs on the products this year, my favorite is by sure the Pumpkin bath bomb purely down to it's scent... X

So I recently discovered Scent Circus among Instagram, and fell in love with the unique design of the different wax melts they had on offer... In particular because of the fact they had melts shaped as bourbon biscuits! 

When it came to ordering, I was shocked by how affordable the products are and the fact that postage is only £1.95 anywhere within the UK. Somethings to point out before going further, with the 'poop' products you get two for £1 which I think is great value for money the company suggest you burn them both together. Being a huge candle lover, I decided to do a small test by burning just one to see the strength and be willing to add the other poop later on. I noticed after the first poop melting on its own after a few minutes the scent filled my entire living-room and fled among the entire house, they are very powerful and I personally am burning just one each time.

Autumn Snuggles - £1.50 each
This is a large circular melt, and WOW I am in love with the scent of this... Its very sweet, sugary and reminds me of popcorn or a freshly baked cupcake. The design of this melt, is somewhat simple but it's nice to see a unique imprint on the product with the slight speckle of glitter.

Damson In Distress
Now since I'm a little late writing this post as I purchased and received these probably a month ago, I've noticed this product has left the website and can only hope it makes another appearance sometime soon... The scent itself is very sweet and sugary again, that reminds me of marzipan! As for the design, it's super cute and exactly like a bourbon biscuit. 


Seduce-Y-Orange - £1.50 each
A perfect custard cream shaped wax melt, this product is another design favorite of mine it's perfect for any blogger, youtuber or photographic person who loves all things different. It's scent is very powerful that reminds me of the exact scent of terry's chocolate orange, a sweet, sugary cream like smell that has a slight hint orange spices.

Pixie Poop - £1 each (you get two inside each)
These products are small but mighty, Pixie Poop is very fresh and clean like scented with a slight floral hint of jasmine and blossom. They have a slight speckle of glitter on the tops.

Flamingo Poop - £1 each (you get two inside each)
Another cute styled melt, among all the scents I would admit this is probably my least favorite but I'm keen to try them out (scents seem to develop more when burning). The scent itself is very sweet, and reminds me of candy floss but more of a warmed sugar that's just been toasted and ready to eat!

Unicorn Poop - £1 each (you get two inside each)
This was the main reason why I wanted to make an order with Scent Circus, I noticed a lot of bloggers writing and capturing some amazing photos with these melts. They are so colorful, and cute designed with a speckle of glitter over the tops. As for the scent, they are sweet and tasty that reminds me of blackcurrant jelly.

As for dispatch of the product, WOW! They arrived extremely quickly, I'm pretty sure I ordered late on a Friday evening and they arrived on the Monday! Inside the box which the products was posted out in was a 'Dolly Bag' which the company sell for £0.50p (view the product on Scent Circus's website here). I didn't order this product, and assume its a free gift from making a melt order. The bag is a cotton like material, and was covered with lots of paper confetti which was super cute and an extra perk of love.


Overall, I am in love with this purchase and company all the melts smell and look gorgeous all at affordable pricing. In-fact I know the company recently offered a subscription box (which is now sold out) but I didn't notice as I was working that day, maybe sometime in the future I may join! But be sure to see more purchases soon. X

So this months melt crowd box is rather special, why? Because £2 of the box goes to the Pink Ribbon foundation, considering the box is only £10 per month the donation is a great gift to give so a huge applause to Flamingo Candles for offering this!X

So what about the actual products right? Well since it's October, the season of 'fall' and 'Halloween' I noticed the company post about sugar vs spice on the social media accounts which got me rather excited. Each of the melts follow a black and pink theme, I personal think the 'black' melts are more of the sweet scents and the 'pink' melts are more spiced. (I could be wrong, my mum thinks they are mixed among each other)

So the 'pink' melts are as followed;
Salted Caramel Apple - 
This is a very food-like scent, it has a very warm sweet caramel smell but has a mix of fresh apple it honestly reminds me of a toffee apple! Perfect for the season.

Buttered Rum - 
Another somewhat food-like scent, this is again very sweet and 'sugary' that is hard to describe other than it being very edible and desert like. 

 Pumpkin & Walnut - 
A very seasonal spiced like melt is perfect for this months subscription and I'm glad we got a 'pumpkin' melt I am going to be saving this to burn on the evening of Halloween. The combination of fresh pumpkin is lightly mixed upon a nut-like scent it's just a perfect match!

Sweet Tobacco - 
Now this is probably my least favorite melt from this month, it's very spice oriented which does remind me more of a 'man' smell, like a male perfume. 

And the 'black' melts are as followed;
Oriental Lotus & Rose Otto - £2 (View the product on Flamingo Candles website here).
This melt is very floral like, reminding me of the outdoors and rose petals that have had a drop of spring water added. It's a very relaxing, smooth and strong melt.

 Cherry Sundae - 
Another sweet, sugary and candy like scent that is packed with a cherry iced it's probably one of my favorites this month because of how delicious it is!

 Candy Floss & Pear Drops - 
I was expecting this to be similar to the CIRCUS scents but I must admit the smell was rather different and shocking. It's very light and not overpowering, with a more softer candy floss rather than over the top sweet and sugary. With the pear-food smell pushing through it's rather interesting and I do seem to love it.

 Pink Ribbon - 
This is a very fresh, soft almost like a powder scent that reminds me of a sorbet. 

 Overall, I love this months box it's packed with a lot of sweet, sugary, food like scents but with one or two spiced. Plus, with the £2 donation its a small extra bonus to why I love being subscribed! X

So recently Lush hosted the Exclusive Show Case event in London, in fact I had an invite to attend but due to the short time I had I was unable to find a hotel to stay in and would have worked out to be rather expensive to attend. (Hopefully next year I will be able to) But I stayed up to date with all the live feeds they had among the two days, and followed all the various people who was tagging Lush and Lush Kitchen in photos from the day.. 

It was instantly noticeable that they offered not only the Christmas range but had some rare exclusives. They had huge giant Dragons Egg bath bombs and the same for Intergalactic bath bombs, I honestly fell in love.. The following week Lush Kitchens menu offered both of these bath bombs for £12 each, but they was both being posted on the site on two separate days... At first I was unsure if I should make two separate orders for them both but then I would end up paying for shipping twice... (which I ended up not doing) The price of one shipping could of bought me a bath bomb right? So I waited it out, in hope that on the second day of the menu they would both be in stock so I could make one order... 

 I was up 8am on the website ready to buy when I noticed the Mother of Dragons Egg had sold out (I was so disappointing and shocked), so I ended up purchasing two of the Nebula.. When they arrived I was beyond shocked and impressed if I do say so!


The size of these beauties is HUGE, honestly words cant describe they are much bigger than expected. Plus, the smell is out of this world such a powerful strong mint like scent it's perfection! I decided after taking lots and lots of photos, I would attempt to cut one up and see exactly whats inside, how much I could use per bath... 


I ended up cutting the product into four LARGE chunks (it was a struggle to cut, so please be careful and get an extra helping hand when doing), I then broke each chunk into half over the bath tub letting the dust float into the water. As a result I got SIX luxury size baths with just one of these bath bombs, AMAZING right???

 I made a YouTube video demonstrating the full size of this product, capturing how I cracked it in half, and a demo of putting a chunk into my bath tub. Watch the video here. X

So I recently visited my local Yankee store in Chester and of course had to make a small purchase, they had a lot more Halloween and Christmas range in. I ended up spending under £10 but falling in love with a certain product.

First off, the product I fell in love with is the Black Cats Jar Clinger at first we didn't know if this was specifically for a certain jar size as in it would only cling to a large jar. We got one of each jar size in the shop and tried it out to see a visual of how the product works and I fell in love, more to the point when I got it home and started using it I just want to buy more and more... The main reason I love this product is probably down to the fact it's a cat, and of course I'm a major cat lover (if only we got a orange/ginger one). But the fact this isn't too 'Halloween' like it could pretty much be used all year round, which is the main reason why I want to head back soon and purchase a few before they leave for the year.

I then got two small votive's, the first being a good oldie and that's 'Fireside Treats' it's a very sugary, sweet scent that smells like soft warm marshmallows! And then I picked up a new scent which I haven't seen before and that's 'Passion Fruit Martin', this is much more fresh and food like (I loved it).

Overall, I'm in love with this small but mighty purchase and glad I didn't over spend on my visit but I must admit I love the various holders Yankee has brought out for the Halloween season with all the cat decor!X
