Lush Oxford Street Opening//23.04.2015

It's been a while but I've been doing some exciting things worth sharing, starting with the opening of the new Lush store on Oxford Street! 

As some of you will probably already know I am lucky enough to work for Lush; I don't think there is much point in me explaining what Lush is as I'm sure the majority of you already know and those who don't can google it and be wowed. As a Lush employee, I was invited to the VIP press day for the new 3 floor store on Oxford Street which was the day before the store was officially open to the public.
Walking into the new shop was like entering Lush for the first time all over again; with over 200 new products there was so much to smell & try out. As soon as I walked through the doors I was greeted by an extremely friendly member staff who seemed to share my excitement about the new Rub Rub Rub shower scrub bar; I instantly knew that I wanted one! 

I didn't purchase too much as money is a bit tight at the moment but I did manage to pick up a few products that caught my eye.

As well as the Rub Rub Rub bar, I picked up the Pink Flamingo reuseable bubble bar, a Lava Lamp bath bomb, a small bottle of the Yuzu and Cocoa Shower Cream, a couple of the new bath oils (which are only £2!) and a medium bottle of the Beautiful shower gel which shares the same scent as my favourite perfume, 1000 Kisses Deep!

The layout of the store was equally as good as the new products. With three floors to play around with there's enough room for a spa, mini Kitchen, Fun area along with all the gorgeous cosmetics.

It's too difficult to pick a favourite area as they are all so great but one of my favourite new features of the store is the sinks that have replaced the demo bowls we use in our store. 

I would suggest to everyone to pop down there for an amazing experience; the easiest way to explain it is that it's like a Lush version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory! 

I also wanted to say a huge thank you to all the staff who were a huge help and showed me a gazillion products & how they work. Also a big thanks to everyone higher up who made the store possible!
If you can, visit the store...let me know what you think! I will post up some reviews of products once I have used them.

Lush Blogger Event//26.02.2015//Easter Range

I was lucky enough to be invited to Lush Chelmsford's first ever blogger event on Thursday to take a sneaky peak at the new Easter products which became available in stores the next day. 

I worked in Lush Chelmsford over christmas so it was lovely to be back and to see some of the old team! As always, the staff, Wendy, Sam, Nathan and Ross were extremely welcoming and supplied us with snacks including Oreos, Rainbow Drops & Pringles for the Vegans, although I was surprised that I was the only Vegan there! 

During the event we were invited to take a look around the store, take photos and generally mingle & meet other bloggers from the area. I was really pleased that this gave me a chance to take a look at the new Mother's Day products too which were just as spectacular as expected; I may have even made a little purchase! 

Once we had settled in, the Lush team went through a show and tell about the new Easter collection, they included demonstrations and product info. We were able to smell and even try some of the products. The range included three bath bombs, a bubble bar, two soaps and a brand new shower jelly! Lush have certainly kept up the high quality of their products and everything from the new range looked & smelled amazing!

The team even got us to have a 'Jelly race' where we all took a bit of shower jelly and lathered it up, the person with the most lather won....My girl Hannah at HannaTalks won! 

The team then introduced us to some of their new perfumes which was a nice bonus as I had been meaning to check them out anyway! I think my favourite was All Good Things as I loved the woodiness of the Cedarwood oil. 

After this we were invited to make our own Butterball bath bombs which I was overly excited about as it is something I had never done before; I can't wait to use mine! 

At the end of the event, Lush were super generous and allowed us to pick two products from the new Easter range to take home and try. I chose the Pot o' Gold shower jelly as I love a good shower jelly & I was drawn in by the glitter, which also explains why the other product I picked was the Golden Egg bath bomb! The Golden Egg has a very uplifting scent with Bergamot oil and Sweet Wild Orange oil. The outer layer of the egg is also a bath melt so it will make the bath water gorgeously creamy and moisturising. The Pot o' Gold shower jelly is a sweet scent, almost like butterscotch, with orange peel, pineapple juice, Fair trade vanilla and Myrrh Resinoid. I'm really excited to use these products & will let you all know my thoughts.

Finally, I brought myself a cheeky little gift; I know I'm not a mum but it was too cute to resist. I picked up a Mother Superior bubble bar from the Mother's Day range, which shares the same scent as the all year round bath bomb, Sakura. I have heard really good reviews about this product so am eager to try it out! 

I would just like to say a final big thank you to the team at Lush, you're all so fab and were excellent hosts! Thank you for inviting me and being my favourite Lush store! 

Pop into a Lush store and check out the new range! What are your favourite products?
