Lush B Electro Limited Edition Shower Gel

Okay, I was going to wait until the 20th for a Lush store party to purchase this, but based on the raves on Lush's forum, I just could not wait because I was too scared it was going to run out before the 20th. It is limited edition, after all, and you guys know what that means. It'll probably be gone forever once it's sold out. I'm probably not even going to open this bottle until a few months later once my shower products start dwindling down.

By the way I have noticed that I have gotten myself 2 new followers since the last time I checked. Whoohoo! Thanks for subscribing guys!

Oh, and if anyone is interested, I have a 500ml bottle of Butterball Shower Gel to either swap or sell. Oh, and some Snow Fairy too. Leave a comment if you're interested!


Look at that bright neon green color. Isn't it just beautiful? The picture on Lush's website makes it look even brighter, like it's radiated.

A Tval Haul and a Lush De-Egging

I got my Tval package like 2 weeks ago, and yes again I was too lazy to post it here. I missed the sale they had, but I managed to get one Christmas edition soap for 75% off.


Oil-free Lotion w/ Strawberries and Salicylic Acid
Cleansing Milk
Grapefruit Mandarin Cupcake Soap
Gingerbread Soap (Christmas edition)
Buddha Eye Cream
Chocolate Orange Tub o'licious
Samples of: Granite Mineral Eyeshadow, Lavender Vanilla Body Butter, and Pink Cotton Candy Hair Mask

The Gingerbread soap smells so darn good. It smells just like Gingerbread cookies.

It's almost Easter this year and I'm just unwrapping my Easter eggs from last year xD


Here they were when they were freshly bought.


And de-egged almost one year later.
Inside the yellow egg: Ma Bar and a hexagon-shaped Honey I Washed the Kids. I used half of the half of the Easter egg already.
Inside the pink egg: Flosty Gritter and a star-shaped Rockstar

The inside of the pink egg looks moldy, but I think it's just from the moisture. The bottom of the Ma Bar, on the other hand, does look a bit moldy, so I'm just gonna cut those parts off when I use it. It's almost been a year, but the scents are still really strong! Yay!

Lush New Items and Valentine's Day Haul

Oh boy, it's almost been a month since my last post. I have lots of stuff to share and they are coming up! I have some reviews. I have to post my February use-it-ups. And here is my Lush haul from the UK:


Into Thin Air Massage Bar - This looks like Wiccy but it smells like old formula Therapy! It contains mung (green) beans instead of red. For any of you guys missing the old Therapy, get this! I haven't used it yet so I can't tell you whether it works the same though.

Mint Julips Lip Scrub - New item! I thought this scrub was going to be a bit watery but rather it's like packed sugar. When I first opened the jar to smell it, I didn't really like it because it smelled kind of artificial. After I used it though, the mint chocolate scent came out and it made my lips so soft. The directions say that you can eat it after scrubbing, but when I did this I already brushed my teeth so I just rinsed it off. Even if I hadn't brushed my teeth, I'm a bit disgusted by the idea of eating my dead skin cells. Think about scrubbing your body with a sugar scrub and then licking it clean xD

Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar - This is the Valentine's day limited edition item. It is so darn cute! When it arrived at my door, it came in two pieces: the stem and the hat. The top part is supposed to smell like Yummy Yummy Yummy and the stem is supposed to smell like vanilla. I can't wait to use this.

Happy Blooming Bath Melt - This is one of the new items, only available right now from the UK. Sometimes it smells like cherry candy and other times it smells like nail polish. This melt is good for 3 baths. Yay for a new melt (finally)!

Schnuggle - This is the 2nd bar I ordered because I really like how it feels. It's not too oily like the regular massage bars and it leaves my skin soft when I wake up in the morning. The first few times it put me to sleep with ease, but I'm not sure about now.

Love Soap - Another Valentine's Day item. I heard that last year's version smelled like apple, and I was really excited to try it this year until I heard that this year is Sex Bomb scented. There's nothing wrong with the Sex Bomb scent, I just wanted to try something different. I actually thought the whole soap was covered in glitter, but it's only the top.

Ex-factor Bath Bomb - Oh Em Gee, this smells sooo good. This smells like Butterball but it doesn't have the cocoa butter bits. This is called the ex-factor and shaped like a person because you're supposed to imagine that it's your ex and then dunk its head into the water. Hah! Take that!

I also got samples of:
Creme Anglaise - This is also a new item. It's a lotion that comes in a black pot. It's supposed to be very luxurious and even thicker than Sympathy for the Skin. It's supposed to smell like a vanilla creme dessert, but when I sniffed it I didn't think it smelled too good. It smells kind of weird. It did make my hands soft though, but which Lush moisturizer doesn't?

Temptation Soap - This is a retro soap. It's supposed to smell like apples, but it doesn't smell like apples. It smells a bit weird too, kind of floral, kind of fruity. Too perfumy. Maybe it'll smell better once I use it.

Cosmic Dreamcatcher - First time getting a sample of a Massage Bar! Yay for Lush UK! It's irange and the chunk they gave me looks like cheddar cheese! It smells kind of medicinal and incensey. I'm not so sure if I like it.

Ooh and it looks like I got 2 new followers since the last time I checked. Thanks guy for subscribing!

December Let's-Use-It-Up Update

Now that it's January, it's time to update on what I have used up in December. I made a list of the things I wanted to use up, and here are the ones that I did:

Tval:
Pink Cotton Candy Shower Sundae sample
Strawberry Rhubarb Shower Sundae sample
Pumpkin Marshmallow Skin Smoothie sample
Banana Puddin' soap sample
Pumpkin Lavender soap sample
Coffee soap sample
Lavender Vanilla soap sample
Lavender Fig soap sample
Pink Cotton Candy Skin Smoothie sample
Gingerbread soap sample
Morning Dew soap sample
Neroli Cedarwood soap sample
Blueberry Verbena soap sample
Cranberry Biscotti Bath Treat
Shine Solid Shampoo Bar
Goatsmilk, Oat, and Molasses Cake Soap

Lush:
1/6 Blue Skies and Fluffy Clouds Bubble Bar
1/2 Temple of Truth Bubble Bar
Slice of Quinquereme soap
Bathos Bubble Bar 1/2 Left
1/2 First Swim Bubble Bar
Harvey Bath Bomb
Butterball Bath Bomb
1/6 Comforter Bubble Bar
Tiny sliver of Miranda soap
Slice of Snowcake soap
H'suan Wen Hua Hair Mask sample
American Cream Conditioner sample
Joy of Jelly Shower Jelly
Emperor of Ice Cream Buttercream
Therapy Massage Bar
1/3 Tub of Dreamwash
Pumpkin Soap
Small Piece of Milky Bar Soap

Pumpkin Soap, Milky Bar, and Tval's Goatsmilk Soap are currently on my soap dish and they are slowly diminishing. I'm thinking about using all the Tval soap samples as hand soap because I'm not really a big fan of using small slices of soap in the shower. I like to use the whole big chunk! Also, because I have so many big bars of soap! And shower gel! I've used the American Cream Conditioner twice already when I went on trips, and I only have a bit left so that should be pretty simple to finish up. I've also worked on the Dreamwash, but for some reason, I'm having a problem finishing that up. I've come to not like it much anymore as it feels very drying for my skin. I think the pot is pretty empty anyways, but I'm just too lazy to clean it out haha.

I'll also be posting my January use-it-up list soon!
