Lush: The sweetest thing gift box + big sea salt shampoo ♡


When I'd run out of shampoo I decided to stop by Lush to try out a new one! I ended up buying the Big Sea Salt Shampoo because it was bursting full of moisture when it was added to water and the sea salt bits were really cool. Also I couldn't resist picking up The Sweetest Thing gift box to try out as well!

"Have a big hair day

This is like having your hair lifted on a sea breeze

We love salt on the hair because it’s great for giving volume. We experimented with it for a very long time before coming up with this, our ultimate salt shampoo."

When I use this shampoo, the smell and texture of my hair reminds me of being at the seaside again! It smells really good and when it is added to water it feels silky. Only a small amount is needed for my thick hair to give a good lather although you can use more if you want to. Sometimes there is a tiny, tiny amount of salt residue left in my hair but it is unnoticeable unless you comb through it thoroughly. Usually all of the salt dissolves in the water. I feel that using this shampoo has also made it super-fast to dry my hair - only 10 minutes! My boyfriend has also complimented me on the smell of my hair and uses this shampoo himself. It gives a little volume, feels light and airy and cleanses product build-up in the hair. Must be careful not to drop this open in the bath though! x[

"Oh, oh, oh, ain't Lush the sweetest thing? A trio of sweet and sparkly goodies.

Woah Wo the Sweetest Thing, try reading this tag without wanting to burst into song, go on try!

The Sweetest Thing was created as a party pack, perfect for any occasion that calls for sparkles and celebrations."

This lovely little party pack contains:
♡ 30g Shimmy Shimmy Glitter Bar
♡ 100g Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly
♡ 70g The Godmother Soap

The packaging is really cute and also included is a products leaflet with ingredients listed and of course colourful Ecoflo puffs to protect the contents from bumps.

Shimmy Shimmy Glitter Bar ♡
"Smooth this vanilla-scented shimmy all over your skin and sparkle like a disco diva!" 

This cute little heart-shaped bar smells like white chocolate and is full of golden shimmers. It can be used to highlight legs or the collarbone, but is subtle enough to use all over the body daily without a bronzing effect. It is lovely and creamy. It also lasts a really long time - I still have another one given to me from last Christmas! I'd recommend using this often as it'll go a little icky over a long time.


"If a bar of soap and a bottle of shower gel had a steamy affair, this would be the resulting jelly baby 

Cherries, coconut, jelly and sparkles – this is a party in a pot. Makes every day feel like it’s your birthday. 

This is a sweet, sweet little cutie-pie. We start this jelly by making an infusion with cherries and coconut, we then add carrageen seaweed and boil it up until it turns all jelly and wobbly on us. Then we have to get it into the mould quickly, before it sets in the pan!"

This is by far my favourite product from this set! It's all squidgy and smells like sweeties, so I always end up playing around with it in the bath. Because it is very slippery and can be a little bit hard to use. The purple colour is gorgeous and it is full of glitters. I think this product would go great with a Space Girl bath bomb!

The Godmother Soap ~ £2.95 (100g sold individually) ♡
"For hands that do more than just wishes

Godmother is much kinder on your skin than liquid soap, which is full of preservatives and antibacterial chemicals. Stop using those nasty pump soaps please and switch to this. Keep a bar by your kitchen sink and reach for it whenever you need to wash your hands. Use it all around the house – perfect for washing after any household chores." 

This soap smells like candyfloss and I only need a small amount to clean my hands. Usually my hands are really dry after I wash them so I have to use hand creams, but this soap is gentle and leaves my hands soft and feeling moisturised. The star shape also make this an awesome addition to the bathroom or kitchen.

Thank you for reading!
