Lush Melting Marshmallow Moment Bath Melt Review

I absolutely adore these cute little cupcakes!

Claims from the Lush Canada website: MMM melts into a pink, fluffy waterbed of marshmallow and moisturizing cocoa butter to satisfy cravings for all things sweet and delicious. Each pink, cupcake-shaped bath melt is made with real marshmallow herb, which produces a sweet, skin-soothing mucilage and marigold, which is equally lovely and calming for your skin. Part bath melt and part Bath Bomb – it’s the fluffiest, pinkest bath melt we’ve ever created. Mixing it with the Bath Bomb mixture means that Melting Marshmallow Moment goes the distance. It fizzes and melts slowly, releasing the softening, skin soothing cocoa butter and almond oil into the water.

I bought this bath melt for $7.95 at Lush. This bath melt smells like heart jujubes which is my absolute favourite candy! It's a delicious sugary smell that just smells like the colour pink! Usually the bath melt has a purple topping but there is some variance in the appearance as these bath products are handmade.The bath melt is rather crumbly but it just fizzes away in the bathtub.

To use this bath melt I cut it in half because these are pricey and I couldn't live with myself if I dropped the entire thing into bath water! Also my bath tub isn't very big so half a bath melt is enough to give full results.
The bath melt tints the water a gorgeous pink and fills the bathtub with the sweet bubblegum-esque smell! And the water is so moisturizing and slick. You can tell it has cocoa butter and almond oil in because your skin feels so hydrated. When I get into the tub I simply don't want to get out!

I do have eczema so I was a little apprehensive about using this bath melt but it proved to be incredibly beneficial for my eczema. Honestly, it soothed my skin and my eczema has gone into hiding since I've started to use these bath melts. I'd repurchase this bath melt a thousand times over because of the delicious scent, the relaxation it provides me and the way it soothes my skin.

Lush Sultana of Soap Review

Recently I've gotten into Lush products. The sound of fresh, handmade cosmetics just sounded too good to be true. And I've passed the little shop countless times in Square One and decided to really see what the place was all about.

I decided to try some soaps because I wanted something to use when I was showering, not when I was bathing (as much as I love baths they aren't too good for the environment). I picked up Sultana of Soap, Rock Star and Honey I Washed the kids.

Claims from the Lush Canada Website: Revel in Sultana’s majesty, and have a wash with the royalty of soaps. It looks like a fancy Italian dessert; a giant nougat cake topped with succulent currants and apricots. Smooth a slice of our soft decadent soap all over your body for a creamy lather and the most dazzling bergamot and olibanum scent. Your skin will be delighted and you’ll be left softer and smelling like a fancy candy shop with a touch of fruity sweetness. If you weren’t invited to the wedding, at least you can brush shoulders with royalty in the shower.

I got this from Lush for $6.40 for 100g. This soap smells a lot like what I imagine to be a very Lush smell. It's sweet, a little fruity and there's some muskiness courtsey of the olibanum. It's soft and complex without being overwhelming. I find it nice and I'm a person who usually only likes gourmand scents.

Now the saleslady in Lush told me this soap was very moisturizing on the skin so I went into the shower with very high expectations. She told me the same thing about Honey I Washed The Kids which dried my skin out a lot and left me with that tight, squeaky feeling regular soaps often give the skin. So I deliberately sought out a soap that would be more moisturizing and I thought the Sultana of Soap would meet that criteria.

Unfortunately the Sultana made my skin feel that exact same way; tight and squeaky. No matter how gorgeous the smell, I can't put my skin through this sort of dryness. I do use it at a hand soap (no way I'm letting a soap this expensive go to waste) and I like the way the scent lingers on my hands. If (If and only if!) this soap was more moisturizing - like my all time favourite Dove beauty bars - I'd be in absolute heaven.

Likes:

1. The intriguing scent
2. How creamy it makes my skin feel while the lather is on my skin

Dislikes:

1. I feel like it's drying my skin out
