LUSH wishlist

So earlier today my best friend and I were talking about LUSH, which oddly she hasn't heard of! I'm rather surprised she hasn't heard of it as I'm a massive fan and talk about it constantly (so I thought..) anyway it inspired me to look online and save for a mega haul, since it takes me about 1.5 hours to get to one (using transit, there are multiples in the city). Me being me, I just haaaad to make a list, because I'm that weird/OCD.. thus my fab LUSH wish list! If you've tried any of the products let me know your thoughts!

Bath Bombs:

  • Butterball: vanilla scented for softer, sweeter skin
  • Twilight: dreamy lavender and ovaltine for sweet dreams
  • Blackberry: a purple, fruity fizzer for a burst of cheeriness 
  • Geo Phyzz: a sea salt spa bath with calming cypress and pine
  • Sex Bomb: ultra sexy bath bomb of seduction
  • Softy: revive flagging spirits with a bundle of fresh roses
  • Rose Queen: rose scented bath bomb, fit for a queen
  • The Enchanter: neon citrus fizzer to remember gorgeous summer evenings
  • Fairy Jasmine: makes all your glittering dreams come true
  • Silver Cloud: sparkly citrus and gardenia fizzer
Soaps:
  • Snow Globe: a festive grapefruit 
  • Sea Vegetable: lime and lavender, seaweed and sea salt scrubber
Shower Gels:
  • Slammer: Fresh Lime
  • Back for Breakfast: sunny citrus wakes you with a smile and a drizzle of honey
  • Happy Hippy: squeaky clean grapefruit gel
  • The Olive Branch: sunny wash with olive oil and mandarin juice 
Shower Jellies:
  • Sweetie Pie: shimmering, sweet smelling skin
  • Whoosh: citrus
Cleansers:
  • Ocean Salt: my absolute favourite, I'm running low on it..
  • Grease Lightning 
  • Mask of Magnaminty
Face:
  • Tea Tree Toner
  • Imperialis moisturizer
  • Gorgeous moisturizer
  • Fresh Face Masks: Brazened Honey, Catastrophe Cosmetic, BB Seaweed
Body Lotions:
  • Dream Cream
  • Sympathy for the skin
  • Ro's Argan Body Conditioner 
  • Handy Gurugu: hand cream

It's quite a bit.. but this is just what I'd like from the looks of the website, I'll have to see for sure once I go to the store, I don't intend on buying all of this! hahah
