Lush Pampering Essentials

Lush has become somewhat of a must-have when it comes to pampering during the winter. Something about creating a mini Spa experience at home always lifts my mood and makes me feel like I'm really taking care of myself.
After the January sales, I realised I had stockpiled a lot of items I could use everyday, and some that would make a perfect treat for a rainy day.

I love the shower gels, they seem to have a thicker, more natural consistency than your average drugstore ones. Possibly being handmade makes the difference, but they lather up so nicely. They also have a stronger scent which lingers just a little after you step out of the shower.

Cinders is a very fresh, and prominent scent which is seasonal for winter, but with pumpkin seed oil extract, it also has a very warm and inviting scent - perfect for cold winter evenings!

Next up are the gift sets, these may be regular offers in larger stores, but I usually only see these at Christmas time. I love these as gifts for friends, as they arrive beautifully packaged. This one contains the Cinders shower gel, a bubbleroon which I believe you drop into the bath and let it fizz, as well as the golden wonder bath bomb. This is an all time favourite of mine - the water turns a golden yellow (very much the opposite of pee if you were also wondering that..) with small droplets of glitter.

A final favourite of mine, is the lip scrub. This has become a bi-weekly essential of mine as the weather and lingering New Year stress has resulted in me practically chewing my lips off! This smooths out the skin and tastes delicious! I don't recommend eating this on the regular, but after washing it off, it's not the end of the world if you consume a little bit...

These are all my current pampering go-to's for everyday use!

What are yours?
