Autumnal Lush Haul

One of my favourite things about my new flat, apart from it being 20 mins from work, is the fact that I have my own en suite bathroom. Not just that. But it has a bath. A BATH people. Since being at university, I haven't really been able to have those proper Sunday pampering sessions because I didn't have a bath. Such is the hard life of being a student. 

On another level I actually work within minutes from Oxford Street. And Oxford Street Lush. Yeah so pretty much my bank balance has been suffering a little recently. When I saw the whole new Halloween/Autumn lush range announced I knew that I was going to help myself to a few of the gems okay fine practically the entire collection because you know how much I love lush. 

Sparkly Pumpkin was one of my favourites last year. Usually the thought of coming out of the bath all glittery would terrify me - however I can definitely make an exception for this bubble bar. It doesn't leave you looking like a glittering ball of mess. With Juniperberry Oil, Lime Oil and Grapefruit Oil it leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturised, something I live for (because I'm one of those people with really dry skin who cannot be arsed to ever moisturise). This gives off some serious bubbles, I would recommend only really using half a pumpkin, perhaps along with a bath bomb!
Monsters Ball is something I wouldn't necessarily pick up. Unpopular opinion, I much prefer bubble bars and bath melts than a bath bomb. Because I do have such dry skin I like something that has a lot of skin benefits when I come out and bath bombs don't tend to do that. However saying that, how could I possibly leave Lush without buying him, he's so flipping adorable. Like a cute purple version of Mike Wazowski. This has to actually be one of my favourite scents out of the Autumn collection as it's quite a floral/citrus scent. I can imagine this leaving your bath a stunning colour and making a massive display in the bath too! One of the ingredients in Monsters Ball is cocoa butter so he may actually have some skin benefits too!


Pumpkin was another I could not leave without. I mean if he doesn't shout 'Halloween' I don't know what else will. Although he is a very basic design and may not be the most impressive to look out, he's adorable nonetheless! This bath bomb however doesn't really smell like vanilla to me which gets me a little bit confused considering it's one of the main ingredients, it's a lot more citrus and spicy smelling. 


Boo Bath Melt is one of my favourite items I picked up. I know a lot of people aren't a fan of bath melts but for someone with dry skin it's the best thing. Also. He. Is. So. Cute. Like literally too cute to even use. This is new to this year I believe as I've never seen this cutie before. With cocoa butter, ginger oil (great for skin inflammation), Geranium Oil and Mimosa Absolute I can seriously see this having great skin benefits (that is if I have the heart to use him).


Autumn Leaf was a product I have to admit, I purchased purely because of how nice it looked. I'm not a fan of grassy/sandalwood scents so this isn't really up my street but I couldn't resist how pretty it looked! I actually used this on Sunday night and woah did it impress in the bath. It's quite a slow fizzer but was such a pretty display!




Pop me some more recommendations on what I should pick up from Lush next! I've totally got my eyes on their new Christmas range (though my bank account needs to recover post Autumn lush haul!)

  3. I cannot even tell you how excited I was when I finally got a bath after being a student for 4 years and only every having a shower. I have to admit I did go a little but crazy with the bath bombs. I am still to get my hands on the Autumn Lush bits but you definitely picked up some amazing things! It is not really very Autumn-y, but Snow Fairy is always an essential for me when it comes to the colder months!

    1. Isn't it literally the worst! All you wanted was to come home from lectures and be in a bath!
      The Autumn bath collection was seriously cute! I hear everyone always raving about Snow Fairy! It's a very sweet scent which I think screams out christmas sweets! xx
