CURRENT LUSH FAVORITES

Hello everyone!

I hope nobody is dealing with the Sunday Scaries right now although after what seems to be the official “halloweekend”, I can only imagine most are.

Today’s post is about my favorite products from LUSH. I went through my YouTube channel a few weeks ago and took note of some videos of mine that had tens of thousands of views. One of them was a video talking about my five favorite LUSH products and I thought it would be fun to remake that video/post today because my faves have changed SO much. FYI, if you’d like to watch in video form, my (new!) YouTube video version of this blog post is at the bottom of the post.

Before I get into things, I want to give it up to LUSH’s website. When you search for products they will immediately show you a video of that product performing in water on the product page. It’s so easy and helpful. I love LUSH.

LUSH dragon's egg, avobath, snow fairy naked shower gel, metamorphosis and brightside
I have three bath bombs, a bubble bar and a shower gel to rave about.
First up is Dragon’s Egg bath bomb. This is my favorite smelling bath bomb of the crew– it’s a bright and poppy orange scent that is strangely relaxing (I don’t necessarily associate citrus scents with relaxation). I would admit it’s not the most exciting of bombs in terms of a show but when it boils down to it, you want your bathroom to smell wonderful and that’s exactly what I get from this lil fruity pebble of a bath bomb.
Next is Avobath. It is, as you guessed, made with avocado. I would think that is part of the reason why this bath bomb leaves me feeling sooo silky smooth afterward. That plus the olive oil that I’ve read is in the ingredients! Avobath is similar to Dragon’s Egg in scent– a fresh lemongrass that is such a welcome scent after a long freaking day or a cold freaking night!
My last bath bomb is Metamorphosis. I like Metamorphosis for its scent, of course, but also for its PIZZAZ. Quite unassuming to begin with, this bomb is spicy and stormy grey but as it dissolves in the water it makes way for a rainbow of greens, oranges, and pinks. It caught me by surprise the first time I used this bath and although I continue to purchase this one because I like the peppery aroma, it may also be because of the surprise colors inside.
Brightside bubble bar is my go-to bubble bar. It shares the same orangey perfume as Dragon’s Egg but gives you piles of bubbles AND lasts much longer. I have been a fan of bubble bars for as long as I’ve liked LUSH because of their value. You can use a tiny bit of a BB and get so many damn baths out of it whereas a bath bomb is a one-timer. Usually, Brightside is a much cuter, swirly (kind of tie-dye) bar but when I purchased mine they were all a little worse for wear.
Lastly is Snow Fairy (naked) shower gel. I make sure to pick up all of my Snow Fairy goodies during the holidays as that is the only time they’re stocked. I have a sweet spot for this sweet scent and it seems I’ll never kick it. I used to be a big fan of LUSH’s Melting Marshmallow Moment bath melt because it was big, pink and smelled like bubblegum. I recently learned that Snow Fairy products are the same scent as Melting Marshmallow Moment! Who knew. I love both. I love the bubblegum. My fiancè does not. Whatever.
I decided to include an honorable mention because I have a product that I do purchase often but did not pick up in my most recent visit to my LUSH store. I really like the Dark Angels face/body scrub/cleanser. It’s a solid block of product that you break a piece off of to create a paste in your hand before massaging it into your face and/or body. It’s a bit messy but if you use it in the shower you should have no problem and it exfoliates so nicely once skin has been softened a bit in warm water. Dark Angels was an important addition to this post because it diversified my bath and shower product-heavy favorites list.
I hope I inspired someone to pick up one of my favorites or at least check them out in-store next time you’re in. Let me know if we share any faves and if you have any holy grails from LUSH pls let me know below. I clearly need to fall in love with some products for skin, hair or beauty.

FAVORITE LUSH PRODUCTS

I am suuuch a lushie it’s ridiculous! I love every single one of their products so it was pretty difficult to narrow down to just five! I finally did and here theyyyyyyy are!

From L to R: Dark Angels face scrub, Bubblegum lip scrub, Orange Blossom solid perfume, Lemony Flutter cuticle butter, MMM bath melt and Hot Milk bubble bar

It may look like six products but I morphed the bubble bar/melt into their own category!

Dark Angels Deep Cleansing Charcoal Scrub- A massive love for this product. It’s a charcoal-based facial scrub that helps absorb oils while exfoliating your face! It’s quite messy but it’s also extremely fun so if you do buy this, be sure to use it in the shower only!

Bubblegum Lip Scrub- This is a bubblegum flavored lip scrub that you can use to exfoliate your lips to get rid of the dead skin and chapped nature of them! You can just lick it right off once it’s done the job because it’s just made up of sugar and bubblegum flavoring.

Orange Blossom Solid Perfume– This scent isn’t necessarily my favorite but I want to highlight these products as a whole because Lush’s solid perfumes are SO cool and SO innovative! They melt on your skin immediately like butter and last for hours on end. They have a huge range of scents, too but I would recommend going into a store to try them out first to see which you like the best!

Lemony Flutter Cuticle Cream- This cream is a miracle product that every girl needs to own. It is a thick, waxy cream that when slabbed onto your body melts into this amazing, moisturizing oil! I love it on my cuticles and I REALLY love it on my feet in the winter! You can also use this on very dry skin on your elbows and feet that can’t seem to get nourished no matter how many times you lotion them.

MMM (Melting Marshmallow Moment) Bath Melt- The bubblegum lip scrub in bath melt form. This little guy will give you the most fun and delicious bath ever. Tons of candy-scented bubbles will come from this and make you smell great when you step out!

Hot Milk Bubble Bar- This is one of my favorite Lush products overall because it one, produces pretty good bubbles and two, helps you relax so much. This bar will help you calm down and get comfortable and feels like you’re being swaddled by an amazing smelling and warm blanket! My favorite kind of bath for the Winter.
