LUSH Holiday Collection

LUSH has some wonderful holiday bath and beauty offerings this year. There is a wide range of bath bombs, soaps shower gels and even lip balms. Some of my favorites are:

Let Them Eat Cake Lip Balm ($6.95) — This vegan holiday lip balm smells like cake, but the flavor of the one I have is a little bitter. But I do love the consistency of the balm. It is rich and thick; it feels great on my chapped winter lips.

Snow Fairy Shower Gel ($19.95 16.9 oz, $14.95 8.4 oz, $8.95 3.3 oz) is a popular holiday scent at LUSH. Their website describes the scent as, “sweet as pink cotton candy, mixed with soothing vanilla.” I think it smells like strawberry licorice. It is glittery and fun for girls of all ages!

Secret Santa Holiday Gift ($9.95) — The name says it all really; it’s the perfect present for a Secret Santa gift exchange at work, school or within the family. It comes in two different colours with cute tags in the shape of a Snowman, Penguin and Santa. It contains Satsumo Santa Bath Bomb, with a refreshing citrus fruit blend with mandarin oil, bergamot oil and orange blossom absolute and Snowcake Soap — which is a mild almondy-minty-creamy soap. Very nice!

Tired of the dark fall shades of nail polish and want to lighten or brighten your nails? Essie’s Winter Collection ($17.00 for 4 pc. mini set or $8.00 for a single, full-sized polish ) includes pretty polishes to make the holidays more festive!

The winter collection includes:

mint candy apple – creme de menthe mint
lollipop – candy cane red
rock candy – sweet treat pink
3 way glaze – all-in-one base coat, strengthener and top coat

I like all of the colors, but I think the Minty Candy Apple is so different from anything I’ve seen lately. It’s really fresh and pretty. The set would make a great gift or stocking stuffer for women of all ages!
