I realise it's already been Easter and that I'm including limited edition Easter products in this post... And I realise that the last haul I did here was also Lush... I CAN'T HELP IT OKAY. I love Lush, to the point where me and my friend have appropriately spent chemistry lessons making our own bath bombs out of blue-tack and creating our own scents. It's an amazing, magical shop and I must've spent hours rambling on about it to my friends, #sorrynotsorry. So when I went to Westfield's and saw that they still had their Easter range, I just dragged my chummy there and bought as much as I could afford. This post was mainly written because I'm obsessed but if your local Lush store still has their Easter products and you're not sure which ones to get, maybe this will help you!

GOLDEN EGG BATH BOMB (Easter range)
The most obvious thing here is that this bomb is covered in gold glitter, and when I say 'covered' I mean covered. Just from adjusting the angle it was lying at for the photo, my fingers were coated in Lush's golden lustre (which is basically like glitter, it's just dissolvable in water). But, surprisingly, when you get out of your bath, you don't actually look like you've been bathing in a bathtub full of glitter or anything because, like I just said, it dissolves in the water. I love the smell of this bath bomb, it's very honey/toffeeyish (Toffish? Toffyish? Idk) so obviously it appeals to me. This kind of works opposite to a bath melt because all of the cocoa butters and oils are on the outside. This means that they will melt in the hot water first and only afterwards do you get a fizzy reaction.

HOPPITY POPPITY BATH BOMB (Easter range)
This is a real cutie - it looks like a small white rabbit head and has a very fresh spring-like scent. It kind of reminds me of a wildflower, just without the floral tones? On their website, Lush describe it as slightly herbal and I guess that's almost what I mean. (These two were actually presents for my birthday from my friend who clearly knows me far too well!)
BUNCH OF CARROTS BUBBLE BARS (Easter range)
I think this is my favourite buy of my whole Lush trip actually. They're basically three bubble bars shaped like carrots and they are just so adorable. They smell like those orange jelly sweets, like the ones you find in a packet of Fruit Pastilles or something, but a bit fresher. They were around £5/6 but, seeing as they're three bubble bars, I think it's worth the price.

MMMELTING MARSHMALLOW MOMENT BATH MELT
For some reason, most of the products I bought here have a really sweet scent although I was actually planning on going for the fresh smelling ones... This smells really similar to their bubble gum lip scrub which has a very strong sweet smell. In the shop it smelt amazing but, to be honest, it doesn't smell particularly special now that I can re-smell it (re-smell??). It is a bath melt though, which means that it's super good and nourishing for your skin.

SPACE GIRL BATH BOMB
This was my friend's recommendation as it is her absolute favourite so when I saw it, I thought I'd give it a try. This one also smells like sweeties, almost like Parma violets which have a very sweet yet uplifting scent to them. One side of the bath bomb is coated in red glitter and there's popping candy inside too so I'm very excited to put this one in the bath.
CREAMY CANDY BUBBLE BAR
Again, this has quite a sweet scent to it and, as the name suggests, it smells just like candy. I've already used half of it as I just could not resist but really I could've used a lot less as it made sooo many bubbles.
ZOELLA FIZZ BAR
I know this doesn't come from Lush but you can put it in your bath and it's practically a bath bomb, so why not include it? This has a very fresh scent to it and kind of smells like what I imagine a spa would smell like (I've never been to one haha). It comes in really cute packaging and has 8 "fizzy squares". You can just break off 1 or 2 and pop them in your bath, they won't produce any fancy colours like most Lush bombs will so the focus here really is on the smell and having any skin beneficial ingredients.

You should really try some, they're so relaxing! Lush can be quite expensive sometimes but I think the Body Shop have some new bath salts in their latest collection? Those should be good xx
