Normally in Lush and just any brand in general I tend to just stick to what I know. So why not try new things, scents and other skin benefits to just experiment, who know I may fall in love with something new. That being said all of the Lush products I have never tried before and I'm excited to try them all out!
Twilight
The first newbie for me is the Twilight , this has being in Lush for as long as I can remember shopping there(I'm only 18 so hasn't been that long lol). I never tried it simply because I don't enjoy an over baring smell of lavender, its just not a fave of mine. I'm a bit of a night owl though and I always find it really hard to just drift off to sleep and am normally awake until stupid o'clock. Lavender is well known for naturally calming you into a natural sleep. I thought that this would be good to try on a Sunday night because they are always the worst for getting to sleep ready for Monday morning.

Avocado
This is just something I would never even consider buying but I'm trying new things. An avocado bath bomb just doesn't sound appealing but it sounds natural and a lot of natural things are great for skin. This one is meant to be great for dry skin and since its still wintery over in England and skin gets drier lets try it out.

The Lucky Find...More Lush
A Christmas gift set was found at my aunties house when we were helping pack everything because she is moving house, as a token of thanks she gave it to me. What a perfect way to say thanks with Lush.
I know that the blue is Shoot for the Stars or something along those lines but I dont know what the yellow one is! There wasn't a card inside the box saying whats what. Since its a Christmas set is isn't on the website so I dont know much info about them! But I'll use them regardless.
The Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel
I LOVE the Body Shop, I always have because me mam does and I used to sneakily use her body butter haha. Ive always used the Pink Grapefruit or the Mango or Coconut and just never tried the strawberry. The smell is gorgeous and it time for a bit of a change up from Soap and Glory. The smell is obviously fruity, its uplifting and sweet so its a refreshing scent. I think that is a really good scent for spring so hopefully English weather might get its arse it gear and get rid of this winter!
Primark Sweet Vanilla and Coconut Candle
An old favorite of mine. I love this candle it smells amazing. Admittedly Primark candles aren't the strongest of scents when burning but its a subtle one for smaller rooms like the bedroom, which is all I use it for anyway. When it burns its a sweet but warming smell, which I like for bedrooms. But it also gives the room a bit of a refresh and smells clean. For a large 3 wick candle for £3.50 you cant complain anyway!
That's it for this haul, if since all of these are new to me apart from the candle do let me know if you've tried any and your opinions on them! And what your fave things are from Lush because I'm on the hunt for new products to love
