LUSH Holiday Products - Shower and Lovely

I have already written about my love of Snow Fairy and my obsession with hoarding as much of it as possible so I can use it all the way until next Holiday season. However, while Snow Fairy is the shining star of the Holiday collection, LUSH has brought out an entire line of goodies for the Holidays. I think that I can safely say that anyone who love a LUSH Holiday gift to unwrap and the company does a great job in both making beautiful pre-made giftsets and individual products to suit anyone on your gift list.

Here are the products...

Double Fast Luck - This good luck fortune coin was such a hit last year that we brought it back again; this time it's pink and sparkling. We filled it to the brim with our signature Karma fragrance to bring a greater sense of peace, vitality, and prosperity to your showers. Take the oversized coin, put it into your shower floor, turn on the water, and inhale the spicy, citrusy fragrance as it rises with the steam. Buy one for friends and family; everyone could do with a bit of good Karma!

Strawberry Santa - If you're having trouble getting children into the tub, pick up a pot of Strawberry Santa Shower Jelly. He's made in the shape of Santa Claus, smells of scrumptious fresh strawberries, and you can wash your hair and body with him, all while having wibbly-wobbly fun. He'll get you and the kids all cleaned up and with a carrageenan seaweed base, he'll leave you soft and nourished. Who are we kidding? He makes grown-ups race their children to the showers!

Snowshower - Our snow-white, winter jelly returns this year to showers everywhere. For an invigorating morning wash, keep it in the fridge or freezer. It melts slowly under warm water, frothing into a creamy, skin-softening lather. Sweet orange, lime, and cognac oils wake up your sleepy senses and put you in the mood to party. The fragrance is in our Christmas Party Bath Bomb too but in case you don't have the time to bathe in between work and party, here is a lovely skin and hair softening Shower Jelly.

Fairy Tail - You're going to love our new holiday sugar scrub; it exudes the same fragrance as our strawberry and cream shower wash, Yummy Yummy Yummy. Product inventor Noriko created it after finding the traditional Sugar Mice candies at an old fashioned sweet shop in England. She gave this little mouse a string for a tail and little white chocolates for ears. Scrub it all over your body and you'll wind up with a truly soft tail-end.

Angel's Delight - We imagine that if we did not bring back Angel's Delight this year, our LUSH customers would not act very angelically. There would be riots and protests until we started making it. If you haven't tried it, we'll tell you why it's so popular. It is bright pink, fruity, studded with multicoloured soap shapes and scattered with glitter and stars. It's inspired by kaleidoscopes and smells of jelly beans. It delights both angels and mere mortals by refreshing and cleansing your skin and stimulating your spirit.

Snowcake - Snowcake soap is a LUSH holiday classic and a best-seller. It's a fantastically creamy soap that smells of irresistable almond icing on the Christmas cake. This year Snowcake has a beautiful new design inspired by the Russian cakes from the town of Tula. They make cakes that look like this for all occasions, and every one of them has a different message, ours says "Have a good new year". Once you start washing with this rose and cassis absolute soap, you'll certainly be off to a good start.

Let Them Eat Cake - This holiday lip balm has been embraced by vegans and non-vegans alike and we're certainly proud (it's tough pleasing vegans!). We know that everyone loves to eat cake, so here's a lip balm that tastes and smells of delicious Christmas cake with all the ingredients you'd find in one (minus the flour and baking soda). You'll need a pot of this to keep your lips soft, so when you find yourself being kissed under the mistletoe, the one who suprised you will get a tasty treat.

Sexy Boy - The little man melts onto your body with moisturizing cocoa and shea butters and extra virgin coconut oil to give your skin a glow (he tends to lead to other things that leave you glowing too). He smells of warming chocolate and invigorating lime oil to put you in the mood for romance. Although he may not look sexy (he is a gingerbread man after all), give him a chance by rubbing him onto your partner and he'll bring sexy to your back.

The above products are from the two LUSH lines (Shower and Lovely). I had originally planned to do all the products at once, but the new Bath product collection is huge that one will be covered in my next. Otherwise, I have a feeling that I need to be stopping at LUSH sometime soon to buy the Holiday products for myself. I will be picking up Snowshower, Fairy Tail, Angel's Delight, and Snowcake. I have heard about Snowcake for the longest time on the Makeup Alley Boards and now must try it out for myself.
