LUSH COSMETICS – CHRISTMAS COLLECTION 2017

The past few weeks have been extremely stressful and crazy with my University deadlines approaching but I had to squeeze in some time for this post as I’ve been working on this since October! I wanted to save this until December to give my readers some inspiration for Christmas for either themselves or their loved ones, the big day is approaching and if you’re struggling this could really help! All of these products are limited edition and completely exclusive for Christmas so will only be available in stores up until the end of 2016. There’s only 2 full weeks until Christmas so make sure to stock up before they leave!

This year the entire Christmas range is Self Preserving which is incredible and is a great way to showcase how Lush creates its products in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. Along with all of the products there are 45 Gifts in the Christmas Range that are available to view here, so you’re definitely spoilt for choice. This post is a complete breakdown of all of the products in this years range to make things a little bit easier when it comes to choosing as Lush stores in December can be extremely busy! So dive in, immerse yourself with newness and take a look at what Lush has to offer this year!

Northern Lights – £3.95
One of my all time favourite Christmas products. It was originally produced 2 years ago and absolutely flew off the shelves but due to the ease of breaking it took a while to re-think the size of the product but it has finally returned! This is a fantastic unisex bath bomb with an exciting mixture of deep purples, blues, yellows and greens and it’s glitter free. Main ingredients include Jasmine Absolute, Ylang Ylang Oil and Cream of Tartar. This product is Vegan.

Reindeer Rock – £4.75
For the past few years Reindeer Rock has been my all time favourite Christmas soap, I love how they’ve re-designed it to be an individual piece of soap and think it would look so cute and Christmassy next to a sink! Unforutnatly they have altered the fragrance so it isn’t exactly the same as it has been but if you’re into florals this could be a great choice! Main ingredients include Lingonberry Infusion, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Neroli Oil and Rose Oil. This product is Vegan.

Igloo – £4.25 for 100g

(So White Bath Bomb, Never Mind The Ballistics Bath Bomb, Luxury Lush Pud Bath Bomb)

So White – £3.75
One of my all time favourite bombs has had a little makeover! Over the past few years So White has been a deep pink on the inside, it’s inspired by the evil apple given to Snow White. The makers at Lush decided that it wasn’t as evil looking as it could have been and this year they’ve made it a mixture of blues and greens on the inside. The deep apple fragrance is stunning and so settling for a night time dip. Main ingredients include Bergamot Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Rose Absolute and Neroli Oil. This product is Vegan.

Unfortunately this year the soap did not return but instead they created the Yog Log Roulade instead!
