Lush Holiday Favorites

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

Every year, Lush comes out with its holiday gift sets, bath bombs, bubble bars, and more. Some of the seasonal scents are less than magical for me, but there are a few that I really look forward to.

This bath bomb is huge! It’s $6.95 and shaped like a present with a white bow on top. I used this the other night and it smells lovely.

Christmas Eve

My favorite Christmas themed bubble bar. Super relaxing; makes your water so silky and pretty blue.

You can’t go wrong with this yellow bomb at $4.95. With red “pop rocks?” inside, you’ll feel like you are sitting near a crackling fire with this cinnamon scented bomb.

Do you have any LUSH holiday recommendations? What are your favorites?

Top 10 Favorites from LUSH

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

10. Pop In The Bath

muffinchanel lush cosmetics favorites best products

Pop in the Bath is a sweet smelling bubble bar. The come in a few different colors — I’ve seem pink, green, and blue and they all make tons of bubbles. This is one of Lush’s least expensive bubble bars at $7.25 and you can get at least two uses out of a bar this size.

9. Blackberry

I love the smell of this bath bomb. I especially like this bomb because it doesn’t have any “surprises” in it. Other bombs will have confetti or rose petals, ect., but this one is pure perfumey goodness. Your water will turn a pretty lavender color and you’ll find that the bomb is slow to dissolve — more time for you to enjoy the fizz!



8. Pink Bath Bomb

muffinchanel lush cosmetics favorites best products

This super cute little bath bomb only costs $4.95, and is the perfect addition to a bath with a bubble bar. It’s bright pink color and little flowers can brighten up any regular bath. Smells like vanilla, but I notice that the smell doesn’t last that long. I always combine this with a bubble bar.

7. Honey I Washed The Kids

muffinchanel lush cosmetics favorites best products

I love this soap because it smells exactly like honey! It has a beautiful golden color and a “honeycomb” top layer. I’m not really sure what the honeycomb layer is for since it seems to be made out of a waxy substance — it doesn’t lather. It could be for exfoliating, but it find it a little annoying and tend to select pieces from the store that don’t have that much.

 6. Ocean Salt

muffinchanel lush cosmetics favorites best products

I love this tropical smelling face/body scrub; it makes me think of summer. The think granules of salt come sprinkled across the top and you stir them in when you get home. It’s a great exfoliant, but be careful not to scrub too hard when using it on your face — it’s very abrasive. I like to use this in the shower as a body scrub.



 5. Grease Lightening

muffinchanel lush cosmetics favorites best products

This stuff is awesome! If you have any blemishes or clogged pores, use this as a spot treatment. I always see results overnight! The smell is ok and it won’t sting your face.

4. Sex Bomb

muffinchanel lush cosmetics favorites best products

Of all Lush’s bath bombs, I love the smell of this the most. It smells sweet like rose and jasmine. It fizzes away a little more quickly than I’d like, and it actually leaves a purple ring around my tub, but it’s still one of the best bombs you can buy.

3. Rose Jam

muffinchanel lush cosmetics favorites best products

These “bubbleroons” are kind of weird. It’s like two halves of a bubble bar with a jelly-like layer in between. I like this Rose Jam one because of the smell, the mountain of bubbles, and the silky feel of the water. It’s also easy to divide with the two sections kind of pressed together.

2. Creamy Candy Bubble Bar

muffinchanel lush cosmetics favorites best products

I mentioned how I love the smells of all these products, but I really love the smell of this bar. I love the smell so much that I keep buying it even though I don’t get any color pay off or really any bubbles. It does, however, make the water silky smooth and, well, creamy. Creamy Candy is exactly what it says it is — a creamy smooth, candy smelling bar.

1. The Comforter

muffinchanel lush cosmetics favorites best products

The Comforter is my absolute favorite! I seem to say that in every Lush post, but it’s true! If you get to buy one product from Lush, get the Comforter! You won’t regret it. It turns your water bright pink and makes it silky smooth. It’s definitely one of Lush’s more pricey bath products and it makes me really sad because I can remember when it was $9.95 — and I thought that was a lot! It’s $10.95 now, but I still think it’s worth it. Obviously, I ration it with every bath, but a little goes a long way.

Sweetie Pie Review – Lush Cosmetics

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures heremuffinchanel lush cosmetics sweetie pie review

This Lush gift set is the perfect gift for anyone. With 6 awesome products, you are sure to walk away with a new favorite!

muffinchanel lush cosmetics sweetie pie reviewThis set comes with:

  • The Comforter
  • Bubble Gum Lip Scrub
  • Shimmy Shimmy Sparkle Bar
  • Sunny Side Bubble Bar
  • Rock Star Soap
  • Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly

I showed you this gift set in an earlier post, now it’s time for a review!

muffinchanel lush cosmetics sweetie pie review

  • The Comforter – My absolute favorite product from Lush. Hands down. The Comforter you get in this set is half the size of the stand-alone Comforter (3.5oz vs. 7oz). You can get at least two uses out of this size Comforter. To use: Just crumble up the bubble bar under your warm running bath water. I like to sweep my hand through the water to really agitate it & get the bubbles going. The Comforter makes your water a nice, bright pink color that is so smooth and silky. I love the smell; it’s kind of fruity, but cool.
  • Bubble Gum Lip Scrub – I am not a fan of Bubblegum as a smell (I prefer the Mint Julips version of this sugar scrub) , but this scrub is great for giving your lips a nice polish. A little bit will definitely go a long way! To use: I like to first put on a chapstick or lipbalm then apply a little bit of the sugar scrub with my finger. The lip balm will help the scrub to stick. Then gently rub the sugar all over your lips — don’t rub too hard! Then you can lick the scrub off or gently wipe it away with a damp cloth. Makes your lips super soft and smooth.
  • Shimmy Shimmy Sparkle Bar – This is almost like a lotion bar, but with glitter. It definitely gives a nice glow, but it didn’t absorb very well on me and I felt like I was leaving a glitter trail on my clothes and furniture. I’m not sure the best way to use this. :/
  • Sunny Side Bubble Bar – This is another bubble bar I like. In fact, if you’re trying Lush for the first time, I recommend trying a bubble bar — any kind, but definitely a Bubble Bar; they’re the best! Sunny Side makes your bath not only silky and bubbly, but glittery gold! And not like chunks of glitter sinking to the bottom of your bath — it’s like swirling liquid gold.
  • Rock Star Soap – :/ This soap smells weird to me. It’s like a chalky bubblegum smell? Thankfully, the smell doesn’t linger and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry.
  • Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly – This “jelly” is kind of cool. It’s like a more solid shower gel — think Jell-o consistency. The smell is pleasant and with glitter swirls in it, how could you go wrong? I take a small bit of the jelly and lather it up in my loofa. The jelly is a tad slippery, but once it’s lathered, you’re good to go. Leaves my skin feeling clean and soft.

The Sweetie Pie gift set is $46 at Lush.com and I would rate it 7.5/10.

Time to Relax — Bath Time

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

Looking for a way to unwind? There is no better way to relax than to take a nice, long bubble bath. And nothing is better than a Lush bath!

Lush Cosmetics makes a variety of amazing bath bombs, bubble bars, and bath melts.

muffinchanel lush productsAll of their products are cruelty free and handmade — so great (if you’re into that).

My favorite products are:

  • The Comforter
  • Creamy Candy
  • Sex Bomb
  • Think Pink
  • any of the Bubbleroons

muffinchanel lush products favorite products

These two make the most perfect bath ever. Sex Bomb and The Comforter will give you the most wonderfully fragrant and silky bath you’ve ever had.

Lush products can be a little bit expensive, so you’ll want to break your bubble bars into smaller pieces. They’ll still produce tons of bubbles, but you’ll get many more uses out of one bar.
