Hey guys, so I thought I'd write a short blog post dedicated to the Medium size Dancing Reindeer gift set from Pretty Suds. This way I can explain a little more about each product, and show off more photos.


So the Medium Sack is £9.95 each (view the product on Pretty Suds website here), it comes in a super cute thick wool like material brown bag with a reindeer on top and clasps shut by wrapping the string around the top. (I'm actually obsessed with this design, you don't need to tie the string, it just wraps around the material and stays firmly) So whats inside?;

 x1 Yule Be Mine (Bath Bomb) - RRP £3.45
This bath bomb smells so much like chocolate, sweet, sugary and candy like with a cute Christmas pud design. The green mistletoe leaf on top doesn't seem to melt very well when the rest of the bath bomb has fizzed away, it takes awhile to softly melt sort-of like a melt. The product itself left the water a bit of a dull, pale brown like colour (could be improved to be better, but then again what do you expect from a brown bath bomb lol) and the scent lasted hours after I had cleaned/rinsed the bath out.
Rate: 9/10

x1 Chocowork Orange (Soap Slice)
This soap is again very sweet, chocolate and orange spiced like (it reminds me of Terry's Chocolate Orange). The size of this soap bar is pretty generous typically what size you would get from Lush etc.


x1  Bath Scrunchie 

There isn't much to say about this, you get a soft white regular size Scrunchie to use when your in the bath (or shower).

x1 Choc Nib (Bath Soak)
I was super excited to try this out, I've never used bath soaks, crystals etc before so when this arrived I didn't know what to expect. The tub itself was filled right to the top with chocolate, sweet scented mini crystals and the description on the packaging said to sprinkle the tub over the water. I was completely unsure how much to use, I didn't want to go using the whole lot in one go so I sprinkled about half into the water. It did bring out a strong scent instantly, but honestly, it didn't do much to the bath water I'm not sure if your to use the whole lot or not? Let me know in comments?X

 Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this set it would be a very suitable gift to give someone who has a bath (and enjoys them).

One thing that really bugged me when I placed my first order was I wanted to add more quantities of products but due to the glitchy website it became virtually impossible. So once I made my first order, I managed to go back on the site (instantly) and try to see if I could add multiple products to my basket. 
What I ordered on the first time round;

  • Farther Christmas (bath bomb) - £1.88 RRP £3.76 (x2)
  • Never Mind The Ballistics (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x2)
  • Shoot For The Stars (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x2)
  • Northern Lights (bath bomb) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)
  • Snow Angel (luxury bath oil) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x1)
  • The Christmas Penguin (bubble bar) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)
  • Butterbear (bath bomb) - £0.98 RRP £1.96 (x1)
  • Snow Fairy (shower gel) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)

Of course, this time round it worked perfectly fine... Which meant I ended up ordering even more to add to my lush collection! The one thing that was annoying was the fact I paid for postage TWICE! I did try to contact Lush via email/twitter to ask if they could combine the postage and ship out as one big order but never herd back... (disappointing)

  • Farther Christmas (bath bomb) - £1.88 RRP £3.76 (x6)
  • Never Mind The Ballistics (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x6)
  • Shoot For The Stars (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x4)
  • Northern Lights (bath bomb) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x6)
  • The Christmas Penguin (bubble bar) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)

Overall, I'm not impressed with Lush because of the lack of control they had over the boxing day sale yet again. Plus, when I ordered it took way over 24 hours before I even got a confirmation email yet they took the money instantly out my paypal.

Hey guys, so I recently ordered several things from Pretty Suds for both myself and my mum (we share products). In-case you guys didn't know I am a representative for Pretty Suds in my local area (distributing products locally without delivery charge) - This does NOT mean I get things free, I still pay just like the rest! So what did I get?;


Mr Snowman (Burner) - £8.95 each
Since we are in the festive season my mum desperately wanted to get her hands on this beauty. It's the perfect wax burner for Christmas, so first off you place the tealight at the bottom (there is a gap at the back to slide it in) OR you can easily just slide the snowman's hat off and place inside that way. (Awesome I know!) Then you add the wax melt inside the hat at the top. Having the hat being removable it makes life x10's easier to clean as your not worrying about knocking the entire burner.

Candyland (Bath Bomb) - £3.95 each
First off, I'm in love with this bath bomb because of the colour (pink right?) plus its a rather large size product compared to any you get regularly off Lush etc... (Well I personally think there is a difference in size) As for the scent, WOW! It's so sugary, sweet and soft vanilla like mixed with strawberries so tasty.

Space Cowboy (Bath Bomb) - £3.45 each
This is something very different to what Pretty Suds normally offer, purely because of the design right? It's an large, circular space ship style product with lots of different bright colours (perfect for kids or if your a product lover like myself). When it fizzed away in the bath it left the water a nice soft pinky colour, however I felt like the scent could of improved it seemed as though it wasn't very strong.

Magic Egg (Bath Bomb) - £4.95 each
I put off buying this product for so long because of the expensive price tag it comes with, although its a perfect purchase as a one off luxury bath or to give as a gift. It comes wrapped beautiful with a big red bow on top! You can pick which Pokemon character you wish to have inside (I choose Pikachu of course), the shell of the bath bomb was very unique and different its main colour was white but had a speckle of different light colours of blue, green, pink etc... Plus the size of this product is HUGE, a lot bigger than a regular bath bomb, it took awhile to fizz away in the water orginaly starting to give a milky cream colour to ending up fizzing out a bright pink and blue the closer to the center. The water ended up being a soft voilet (super cute and different to anything I've ever seen before), and the smell was so strong and sweet plus you get a free small toy!

Clean The Air (SOY Wax Melt Bar) - £1.95 each
You get 12 squares on this bar, I usually burn about two chunks a go and the scent lasts several hours. As for the smell of these, I originally expected a fresh, soft 'clean' scent to follow on the name but instead this is much more food like with a hint of orange and spice.

Duvet Day (Little Beanies) - £2.95 each
I was unsure what to expect when ordering these, I originally thought the scent would be very fresh, clean cotton like. But when they arrived I felt like they was very different, very sweet and reminded me a lot of the millions sweets you can buy at a candy store. The tub itself isn't overly huge, but you get a very decent amount of beanies inside - when I first tried them out I burnt three at once, it was way strong and powerful and honestly I think I could of gotten away with melting just two! I honestly love the idea of the little beanies, you get a lot for your money and once the scent starts to die down just add an extra one to re-lift the smell.

Overall, I'm in love with the purchases with my favorite being the Mr Snowman, Candyland and Little Beanies. If yous haven't already be sure to give my Facebook page a like where I represent Pretty Suds (click here).

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 when the Lush Father's day range launched I couldn't wait to get my hands on the new products, plus as a surprise Lush released the Lush Oxford Street 'Lava Lamp' bath bomb to all stores! (Which I love so thank you!!!) First off I just want to say, I was expecting more 'fathers day' products I felt like there wasn't much choice compared to the Easter or Mothers Day range... Plus I was expecting some rare Lush Kitchen products to be launched in favor for Fathers Day (but never happened). :'(

1. Lava Lamp bath bomb - RRP £3.95
WOW! I am in love with this product, when I went to my local store one of the friendly members of staff came over and gave me a full demo of this product, explaining in detail all about it. The purple circular dots on the bath bomb act as bath melts, they slowly melt away while the orange bath bomb part fizzes away. Which I love, it left the water very smooth and oily just like the Lush bath melts, but had an orange colour from the fizz! As for the scent it was very fresh, powerful and orange like. With a mix of olive's and a sugary creamy sweet scent powering its way through.

Superdad bath bomb - RRP £3.95
Another product Lush made me fall in love with, this bath bomb was different to most Lush ones I've used with it being very flat and long... The top is packed with different colours and when I placed in the water I was amazingly shocked that the bath bomb floated up right on it's own... It looked so pretty in the water with the red blending away into small bubbles, plus it took awhile to fizz away and left the water a very bright blue!

The Modfather bubble bar - RRP £3.65
When I first saw this I was unsure about the product, I didn't quite understand the style of it, circles on top of circles? Plus the size was fairly on the small side of things for it's price (which I kinda felt was overpriced). I did struggle to break this bubble bar in half when I got it home, it was very solid.. But a after managing to break it up it crumbled under the water (with difficulty) and left a TON of bubbles and a nice blue water colour which surprisingly was a lot for only half a product. So in total I got two bath worth's for this product (which is super satisfying).

Cream Candy bubble bar - RRP £2.95
Now I know this isn't new to Lush, it's not part of the Lush Father's Day range but I did pick one up when shopping purely because of it's affordable price. At first I expected to just use the whole bubble bar for one bath because this product is fairly small in size but I was shocked to find I only used half for a deluxe bath! It crumbled easily, gave a TON of bubbles with only half the product, and left the water a pretty pink colour.. I must say this is a new favorite Lush product, because of the usability and affordable price!

So over the past few weeks, and even the odd month I've been starting my Lush Kitchen & Lush Oxford Street haul/collection (buying from Lush site and getting Oxford Street products from honest, loyal sellers off Instagram & Depop!).




Lush Kitchen products;

Magic Bath Bomb
Retailing at £3.95 this product is very similar to the Ex Factor (in terms of scent and colour) with a strong peppermint over-scent powering through when you begin to fizz in the water. When the product begins to fizz it instantly picks up a pink bubble ton from inside the product (which packs out the scent even more), personally I love this product for when I'm feeling ill or having a dull day.

 Somewhere Over The Rainbow Bath Bomb (also oxford street exclusive)
Retailing at £3.25 each this bath bomb is very affordable, super cute looking and a pretty decent size. This was a Lush Oxford Street exclusive for quite some time during the Easter period but then was released to Lush Kitchen just before Easter (which was a major surprise, and as predictable it sold out pretty instant). The scent is very floral like, with a sweet rose scent smelling throughout.

 Ex Factor Bath Bomb
Retailing at £3.50 this product was an exclusive to Valentines Day Lush Kitchen (yes I know which isn't spring but why not throw it in?), they sold out pretty instant if I remember correctly this year. The smell on this small but mighty product is inspiring if I do say so, however the product is also extremely fragile (hence the head was chopped off as part of delivery transit). When I used this product if fizzed out instantly, quickly melting away and leaving a super fresh smell of the 'Butterball' products Lush offer. It's just such a relaxing product to use.

Karma Bubble Bar 
Retailing at £3.25 each I was surprised to find this product being a completely different model to the old Karma one Lush had. It's very bright and orange, oval shaped and isn't overly huge I would honestly say you could get one luxury bath with this or two more reserved baths. The product itself let a LOT of bubbles out, it was crazy and by far one of the most bubbliest I've seen. It left the water in a orange shade, smelling of a fresh fruity citrus scent mixed with oranges. For the price I would probably buy this again, but it's just something I wanted to add to my collection ( I wouldn't overly rate this but that's just me).


Lush Oxford Street Exclusive products;

 Sunflower Bubble Bar ; 
This product retails at £4.95, and can only be purchased from Lush Oxford Street or in a small selection of the Mothers Day gift sets (which personally didn't interest me). As with any Lush products, bubble bars are my favorite because you get more use out of them.. But with this Sunflower product, WOW! It's huge, literally bigger than the size of my palm you could easily get 4 luxury size baths or even 6 more reserved baths. The smell is very citrus oriented (pretty lemon like), and not so much of the expected floral scent you'd get.

Reusable Windmill 
Retailing at £5.95 this product does seem to be more on the higher side of price, with most reusable bubble bars (on a stick) average at around £4-£5 but personally I wouldn't pay this again.. It just seems overly priced, although as with all reusable products you can easily get a good 6 luxury bath worth's. The scent is again, very citrus oriented but this time more lime like, plus the scent is very strong and easily noticeable. One thing I do love about this product is the "stick" is very thick and stable compared to other reusable products in the past which makes it last longer.

 Overall, I will say my #1 favorite is the Sunflower bubble bar purely by it's scent, size and affordable price! If only it became available on Lush Kitchen so I could get a supply of them stocked up. As for bath bombs, I love the Magic product because of the unique colour inside, and the fresh smelling scent. Let me know what your favorite Lush product is below?X

Hey guys, so I've always been a lover of bath products and with that said I've only ever really used Lush products. After deciding to take a step out my comfort zone I looked into what I could use that's different. I noticed Bomb Cosmetics did super cute looking bath bombs and bath melts which have a lot of effort put into each and everyone to make them look perfect. I decided to go for a bath melt gift set with six products, If I'm honest before I begin I thought the two circular products where in fact bath bombs (my mistake).


So how do you use them? Well it's simple run a warm bath and place on in the water and they melt away. To begin with, the two circular bath melts I can honestly say I expected them to turn the water a different colour (especially the pink one), but instead ALL of these products just left the water a milky clear colour... Which was slightly disappointing. Click here to view a demo video of the pink ball melt on my Instagram page here.



With the rest of the products, I began to become more of a hater with them if I'm honest purely because they have small "herb" "leaf" type substances within them. So when they melted away the left the leafs/herb like particles in the water (Which usually is fine & relaxing), but in this case they really did stick to my body when I got out I had to dry and then wipe a lot off which stuck to me. It also did become more of a nightmare to wash the bath tub out after. Click to view the demo video of one of the "cupcake" style melts on my Instagram here.



Overall, I am not a huge lover of this gift set if I'm honestly which is really disappointing because I herd so much positive feedback about Bomb Cosmetics. I think I would attempt to try the bath bombs out in the future and hope for a much more satisfying experience. But I don't think I would ever buy the melts again, purely because I would want more of a fizzy, water changing motion or something more than just "melting".
Thank you for reading don't forget to follow my blog over on the home page!X

Hey guys, so in case some of you don't know Lush Oxford Street store sell exclusive products which are not sold in any other store. But, the problem is this store is over 4 hours away by car for me, it would cost a lot to get there! (About £100 for the train and £200+ in petrol).
I found an amazing girl (Instagram link here) who was visiting the store and was willing to buy to products (any of my choice) and post them! I was so excited (of course I had to pay all via PayPal), and the products arrived perfect!

 I ordered a Tweet bubble bar and Down the rabbit hole bubble bar, but as a surprise I received a Furze bath melt which I'm in love with! All three of these products are exclusive and classed as "rare".



Tweet Bubble Bar - £3.45
Oh my... Where to begin? This product is super cute looking, some say they are ugly or creepy but I'm in love with them! The smell is very strong, reminding me of fresh oranges and a citrus scent. Although they are super cute, the product itself isn't huge in size and so you would only get one bath worth  out of this! But honestly, that doesn't bother me because he is too cute to use! (Yes I said he, because my Tweet is a man hehe).

Down The Rabbit Hole - £3.95
This bubble bar is my favorite so far this year, the size is HUGE! I honestly am in love with it, you can easily get two luxury baths out of this or even three or four baths if you like to use less of the product. It's such a colorful product too, the swirl pattern just makes me love it even more. The scent is very fruity reminding me of oranges and raspberries.  Watch an amazing short video I made on Instagram here.

Furze Bath Melt/Oil - £2
If I'm to be honest, I'm super excited to use this product as I've just fallen in love with bath melts/oils. They always look funky in the water, smooth on your skin and the scent is always powerful. This product smells very floral, and very parfum like! The only slight worry I have is this is packed full of small bits of elderflower, I just hope they don't stick to my body!


I haven't used the bath oil or tweet bubble bar yet, but be sure to follow me on Instagram to get the first looks for when I do. Overall, I'm in love with these products if I could I would 100% buy them again! Let me know if you guys own them? Would you wish to own them?X
