There are certain Lush scents that spark much more of an interest than others: products and fragrances that have somehow earned a level of status that automatically makes consumers more invested in them than some of their (often better) counterparts. The Twilight/Sleepy scent family is one of those royal bundles, and when these mouthwash tabs first made themselves known, there was a big demand for them to be made widely available as soon as possible. However, from the very second I opened my bottle of Sleepy Pill, I realised that something was terribly wrong: these mouthwash tabs didn't share the scent of Twilight or Sleepy, and they certainly didn't taste anything like they did either. Under the assumption that they were the same fragrance as the popular body lotion and shower gel, Lush fans had been scrambling after an item that didn't even hold their favourite scent. What I will say about Sleepy Pill is that the intensity of flavours here is definitely potent enough that the tabs will do the very opposite of putting you to sleep. In fact, the very first time I used one of these, I almost had to spit the tab out into the sink: the flavour was far stronger than I had initially envisaged it to be and it took me by surprise. Containing lavender and fennel oil as the leading ingredients, the smell of these mouthwash tabs are a strong and very robust herbal aroma. Imagine having a fresh bundle of lavender tied tightly around your nose and you may begin to understand what Sleepy Pill smells like. It's naturally sweet and floral, yet there is also an underlying sharpness from the fennel oil that plays on these components and intensifies the smell. When popping one of these into your mouth, it takes mere seconds for a very intense taste to develop and you may need to brace yourself for this. Imagine being made to bite down on some fresh lavender and what that would taste like, and you have now probably understood exactly what these tabs have to offer. Along with the fennel oil, which serves to intensify the taste and add a cool, refreshing twist, Sleepy Pill uses nature's finest to completely clean and overhaul your mouth. To use a solid mouth wash tab, you simply crunch the tab between your teeth, take a slurp of water and begin swishing. Once you've finished, you then spit the water into the sink and your whole mouth should feel super clean and refreshed: ready to brace the rest of the day without worrying about smelly breath or food from your lunch remaining stuck between your teeth. It's recommended that you keep the mouthwash in your mouth for a good minute. This allows the ingredients to get to work at cleaning the mouth and deodorising the tongue so you get the maximum results possible. As you would expect from Lush, the ingredients that have gone into making all three of the mouthwash varieties have also been carefully crafted and serve a purpose. Firstly, they all contain sodium bicarbonate, which is a natural softening ingredient that is also known for its ability to clean and deodorise at the same time. This is a key component that will help to clean your tongue, gums and teeth when you're swishing, and will help to rid your mouth of any strong odours that might be present at the time, freshening your breath in the process. Each of the mouthwashes also contains xylitol - a natural substance that is found in certain fruits and vegetables and is used in foods and cosmetics as a refined sweetener. This ingredient has been proven to cause none of the harmful effects that sugar can have on the teeth, is perfect for diabetics as it doesn't effect blood sugar levels at all, yet offers the sweetness to help give these tabs their interesting but enjoyable flavours.
The intensity of Sleepy Pill Mouthwash Tabs immediately cleared my palette, cleaned my tongue and left my whole mouth feeling squeaky clean. The dinner I had finished eating mere minutes before had been completely banished from my tastebuds and instead it had been replaced with a herbal combination of both lavender and fennel, which was strangely comforting. While not a flavour I would initially been all that excited about, I actually enjoyed how natural they tasted and how clean my mouth felt after using one of these tabs. I can imagine that Sleepy Pill Mouthwash Tabs will still be super popular, even though they don't pertain the same aroma as the best selling body lotion. In fact, I'll be honest and say that I think these work better than what I imagine an actual Twilight-tasting mouthwash tab would do. I guess Lush do know best after all?

I have carried out very little research into most of the new bath bombs that Lush have brought out recently. This has allowed me the freedom to experience each and every one of them without any preconceptions about what's going to happen, and it has also opened up my world to one or two surprises as well. Such is the case with this little bath bomb. Figaro Figaro is a little on the small size, hence the lower price tag than the regular sized bath bombs. But that doesn't mean, for one second, that the performance of this little gem is anything less than incredible. And if you're one for surprises, you may want to invest in one for yourself...as well as choosing not to read any further as those surprises will be quickly ruined. Containing a blend of so many different oils, it was hard to imagine just what this bath bomb might smell like. However, Lush have described the key notes as being peppermint, sage, thyme and eucalyptus, and I can see why they have placed these four as the top components. Before I start describing the scent, I feel that I should point out that the fragrance of this is very weak. In fact, it wasn't until I placed the bath bomb in the water that I really experienced the four key elements that I listed above. Much like Geode Bath Bomb, this one scores more points because of how it performs in the tub, not because of the scent at all. To my nose, the herbal elements are the strongest notes, followed shortly after by a floral layer underneath. The sage, thyme and eucalyptus create a very delicate musky herbal scent, with the latter ingredient also adding an almost clinical scent that gives Figaro Figaro a 'clean' feel about it. Alongside this, the peppermint oil adds a touch of mint to the aroma, although it's very much an afterthought, and I wouldn't describe the aroma of this to be a minty scent at all. As I mentioned above, it took me placing this into the water to really pick out any of these notes for myself, and I would suggest that if you like robust fragrances you stay well away from this one. Ultimately, this bath bomb does hold its presence in the water, but it's not a very powerful one. Aside from creating the fragrance, these key components are also amazing for your skin. Peppermint soothes and relieves muscle tightness, as well as relieving both physical and mental tension. The inclusion of thyme and sage is both antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, so will soothe any redness or itchiness, and restore the skin back to its relaxed self. Finally, eucalyptus is a great decongestant: helping you to breathe better, or indeed help to clear your airways when you have a cold. What is impressive about Figaro Figaro is the way it performs in the tub. As soon as you place the bath bomb into the water, a vivid shade of both red and yellow burst from the little ballistic and quickly colours the water a deep shade of red. Don't judge this bath bomb by its outer shell, because the colour you get is so far removed from the gentle pastel shades you see to begin with. Once the bath bomb had fully dissolved, a hidden note burst from the remnants and presented me with a few lines from the opera The Barber of Sevilla, which is the main inspiration behind this whole bomb. While these little touches aren't needed, I always appreciate the sentiments behind Lush's little creations, and I appreciated this surprise very much. At the risk of saying the same thing as I did in my Geode Bath Bomb review, Figaro Figaro is all about the performance, and ultimately less about the fragrance it comes with. While it left my skin super moisturised and feeling wonderfully smooth, the scent wasn't present for very much of my whole experience, and I do like a bath bomb with a strong smell. This is one that I would definitely buy again, but also one that I would couple with another product to give me a stronger aroma in the water.

As far as the concept of a FUN Bar, I didn't really think there was anything that Lush could do to spice up how they could be used by the consumer. Already incredibly versatile, Volcano is one of a handful of recent releases that have raised the bar slightly: offering an extra dosage of creativity to an already inspired product. One of Lush's cheapest products, the FUN bar is essentially a tube of play-dough, with ingredients that allow it to be used to clean the skin as well as being moulded into whatever you're inspired to create. Breaking off a penny-sized piece and massaging it across wet skin will create a light, frothy lather to clean your skin with. This can be taken further by being massaged into your hair in replacement of your regular shampoo. Instead of using a bubble bar, a small piece held under the running tap will also create a surplus of fragrant bubbles to submerge yourself beneath. While I would recommend using a bath bomb or bath oil alongside this, as it's not as moisturising as a regular bubble bar would be, it definitely adds something extra to your experience. Volcano is the second FUN Bar to have been released this year with the inclusion of three miniature bath bombs - all of which share the same aroma. The idea, as the name suggests, is that the bar can be used to create the model of a volcano, while the bath bombs create the eruption side of things. Adding fun to either your own, or that of a child's bath time routine, this limited edition simply offers a novelty concept to shake up your bath or shower experience. Supposedly, this shares its scent with the Koyaanisqatsi Shower Bomb, although I can definitely detect a difference. To my nose, it's very lavender focussed with the fennel lacing itself around this to create something very herbal. The lavender scent is very on par with the old Playdoze Bubble Bar, in that it's naturally sweet but very relaxing at the same time. While the tangerine oil doesn't really add much in the way of a fruity aroma, it definitely helps to elevate the other elements somewhat. What is great about this product is that the scent is very strong for a FUN Bar. You are quite literally engulfed with its fragrance in the shower, and remnants of the scent do linger on your skin for a short while afterwards. Furthermore, Volcano lathers up really well almost immediately, so you should only need to use a grape-sized piece to clean your entire body. For those who love to get creative, the inclusion of the popping candy in the miniature bath bombs means you can enjoy the process of creating your own pint-sized model before or during your shower/bath, and then appreciate the sound effects when they come into contact with the water. How you'd then use the product afterwards however, is down to your own discretion. Why not a major problem, once I had created my Volcano, I found that I had to store my wet, sticky mass of FUN on the side of my bath tub, which did leave undesirable splashes of grey running down the sides until I found a container I could store it in while I used it up. Given the colour of the product, I also found that using the black part as a bubble bar didn't exactly heed great results in the water, as there are unlikely many people who would enjoy bathing in murky grey water if given a choice. Overall, I really appreciate that Lush offer these bars because they're cheap; versatile with many uses; and they're great for kids and creative adults alike. However, I would much rather choose a regular bubble bar or a bottle of shower gel over using a FUN Bar across the long run. While a nice addition to this year's Easter range, it's definitely not one of my favourites.

Looking back at my childhood, I remember developing a fear for a short while about the possibility of the world running out of new music; that there would be a time when no original songs could or would be produced. While it may sound like an irrational fear, my love of music was (and still is) the biggest influence in my life, and if this was to ever happen, it would be the worst thing to ever happen to me...almost. I say this because I'm always surprised that Lush are able to produce so many different fruity and citrusy scents. Although the company would do well from stepping back a little, and creating a few more unique scents instead, I'm always intrigued to know how they can take the same ingredients and yet somehow create something new, if only slightly different. When Over and Over Bath Bomb appeared at the Showcase last year, I remember thinking how wonderful the scent was, even though I had seen similar combinations of ingredients in many of Lush's previous bath bombs. As it shares the same fragrance, the same can be said for Fruit Giant Bombshell. However, there are differences between these two bath products that I'll go into detail about below. One of five limited edition bombshells featured at the Showcase this year, Fruit Giant is one of two pre-made beauties that you could have purchased. Comprised of two halves, the idea is that you fill the centre with a selection of flowers, plants and herbs that suit your fancy, and the whole bombshell is sealed together with a piece of raffia.
While this one features lime and fennel, orris and cypress oil, there are slight differences in scent when compared to the Over and Over Bath Bomb. Firstly, as expected, my nose detected the element of lime, which just like the aforementioned bath bomb, doesn't offer something particularly light and fruity, nor something super citrusy either. The lime in this bath bomb sits somewhere in between. Although not tart of bitter, there is a tangy element to this ingredient that sets it apart from most out lime-scented Lush products. Alongside this, the inclusion of the fennel oil adds a warm but very subtle herbal layer that sits underneath the lime. I believe it is this component that elevates the fragrance of the lime, whilst also offering a slight aniseed-like afterthought to the bomb. How this differs from Over And Over is that I did find this bath bomb a little fruitier, which I think is because it doesn't feature the cocoa butters that usually cost one of the sides of the bomb. This means that the powdery-ness of the bombshell has an opportunity to let the lime shine a little more. In the tub, this beauty immediately begins to fizz - sending out waves of vibrant orange across the surface of the water, and giving off a beautiful scent that stays wonderfully intense throughout the whole experience. Once fully dissolved, the dried pieces of orange from the centre of the bath bomb float across the surface, making the bath even more beautiful. I think it is these pieces of fruit, along with the slightly different format, that brings out an almost orange-like fragrance in the tub. To my nose, it was a little fruitier again when compared to the original bath bomb, and I really appreciated the difference. It was like sunshine in my bath tub and it warmed me up so quickly. While not the most moisturising out of the five bombshells, this is anything but drying. The fruity oils did wonders at clearing out my pores and leaving my skin feeling really soft; the lime oil helped to bring a little radiance back into my complexion and leave me looking a little less weathered. Unfortunately, I didn't find that the scent stayed on my skin for that long after I had towelled myself down, and this would be something I feel Lush would need to rectify, if they plan on selling these for the price tag that they were at the Showcase. Overall, this is a really lovely bombshell, especially for those who love the Over And Over scent and wish to try something a little different. While it's unlikely Lush would be able to dip a bath bomb of this size with cocoa butter, and not charge a fortune for the privilege, I feel as if a little extra helping of butters would just seal the fragrance in a little bit more and make it slightly more nourishing overall.

Growing up, I was always taught the value of money, mostly because my family didn't ever have enough to be anything but scrupulous in their spending. For this reason, when I found myself financially independent at nineteen, I became a little too frivolous with the abundance of cash that I found myself in credit of. It didn't take me long to realise that overspending led to negative consequences, and I was blessed with the common sense to learn from my lesson pretty quickly. Strangely however, one of the lessons that has stuck with me even to this day, is that more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better quality. In fact, I've realised this even more whilst on my travels throughout Asia recently - where the cheapest food in the most run-down of places has often turned out to be by far the best tasting food on my trip. This has further been proven with the release of Over And Over Liquid Perfume. Coming in at only £19 for 30ml, some would assume that it could not possibly be as complex or as interesting as the other fragrances priced up at double the amount. However, this could not be further from the truth. While it does share its scent with Over And Over Bath Bomb, there are some differences here that set this liquid perfume apart from its older sibling. From the bottle, this gorgeous fragrance releases a bright and very zesty aroma. Unlike Calacas, the smell of this is super fresh and very natural: it's as if someone has grated the rind of a lime whilst squeezed a little of the juice at the same time. Alongside this, the inclusion of a little orris oil adds a natural sweetness underneath the lime to ground it a little and keep it on the skin for longer than citrusy smells tend to usually linger for. The orris oil is delicately woody, without taking away from the strong note of lime, whilst the fennel brings a light, fresh herbal note that plays with the heat of your skin and and makes Over And Over a little more interesting on the nose than you would initial expect. Within an hour of spraying it on myself, the perfume was still very much present on my body. I could still detect the zestiness of the lime peel alongside the delicate herbal note of the fennel. While this isn't one of Lush's more overpowering fragrances, there is something so beautiful about how strong yet equally as delicate it is when on the skin. It didn't take me very long to fall head over heels in love with this perfume, and while the sun is still attempting to make itself known in England right now, this perfume will bring me sunshine on even the darkest of days. This is definitely worth the price tag that Lush are offering, and I can see me using this far more than any of the other perfumes in my collection.

Money cannot buy you happiness but it can certainly help you on your way to achieving such greatness. While the world is corrupted by the greed of those that want ultimate wealth above others, most of us would be happy with simply being content, and that's certainly what I focused on when I tried out Money Atmosphere Shower Gel for the first time the other day. Designed to 'see yourself enjoying absolute control, becoming master, not servant, to the trappings of wealth'Money is one of four limited edition Atmospheres designed to offer something a little more in the shower. Simply pinch the outer seaweed layer between your fingers and use the shower gel that spills forth between your fingers. You can then throw the 'plastic' shell onto a compost heap and leave it to dissolve away into nothing.
Packaged as a naked product, Money Atmosphere is supposed to eradicate the need for plastic bottles or tubs, and sees Lush creating a different format from the naked bottle-shaped shower gels that they've been releasing for the last year. Unfortunately, these limited editions can only be purchased as a set of four, and will set you back £12 for the privilege, which I find it be rather expensive. Hopefully, this is just an early prototype that can be improved upon and released for a far more reasonable price in the near future.
With all four of the Atmosphere Shower Gels, I found that they didn't lather up as well as any of Lush's other former gels. While the consistency was rather thick and the gel itself was noticeably moisturising, I found that I was unable to create much of a lather at all. Although the gel worked a little better when I was massaging it between my hands - with the seaweed coating present as well to stimulate a little foam - I found that I had to use much more than I normally would, just to feel as though I had cleaned myself enough. What was great about Money though was the combination of different ingredients to offer a rather wonderful smelling shower gel. With lime, fennel and cypress oils, you get a rather lovely fruity smell with a warm and very subtly spicy undercurrent. I love the fact that the lime smells so rounded and delicate - like it's zestiness has been removed and replaced with a woody layer that makes it smell so warm and inviting. Again, I was a little disappointed that the scent wasn't as strong as I would usually expect from a Lush shower gel, but there was enough there for me to enjoy the experience very much in the shower. Furthermore, I was able to detect it slightly on the few strands of hair that I got wet during my experience, although strangely not on my skin after towelling myself down. While Mark Constantine suggests that these are one-use shower gels, I could easily get 3-4 showers out of a single pod. Having said that, I feel as if I could have gotten far more uses if the shower gel had lathered up a little more. For £3 a piece, I want to make the most of these shower gels. However, I don't quite think that any one of the four that have made an appearance are at a quality ready to be introduced to the public.

It is clear from recent releases that Lush have found themselves to be onto a winning streak when it comes to product design. While their increased sales are more than enough evidence to showcase their ever-growing popularity, it is not that often that they release a product that causes as much mass hysteria as the Roller Bath Bomb seems to do. Since the release of this limited edition (which seems to sell out quicker than the speed of light), the company have brought out two more variations of the half ballistic/half bath melt combination - neither anywhere near as popular as the aforementioned 'best seller', but both of which offer a wonderful and very unique aroma. To clear things up, despite looking almost identical to Never Mind The Ballistics, Over And Over Bath Bomb has a very different scent. Although both are described as having fruity aromas, the former product is more of a creamy, peachy sort of fruity smell, whereas the latter is much more spritely and fresh-smelling. Supposedly sharing its scent with a liquid perfume called What Would Love Do, this bath bomb was first released in limited quantities during Lush's Creative Showcase event back in September of this year. Sporting a yellow design and half-dipped in an orange bath melt, this bath bomb is both highly moisturising and beautiful to boot, not to mention the fact that it smells like a little ball of sunshine. Containing both lime and fennel oil, my immediate thought upon sniffing this bath bomb was that it smelled very similar, if not identical to Five O'Clock Whistle Shower Smoothie, albeit a little bit sharper and with more of a citrusy kick to it. The lime is definitely not tart or bitter on the senses, but I wouldn't say that it's as rounded or as sweet as something like Nightwing Shower Jelly. The inclusion of the fennel is what sets this bath bomb apart from the aforementioned smoothie, as this ingredient offers a very subtle herbal layer that sits underneath the lime. This component helps to elevate the citrusy fragrance and give Over And Over an almost grassy, slight aniseed-like afterthought. Some fans have said that the smell of this reminds them of Lemslip, and I can see where they're coming from. While this is strictly a lime smell, and there isn't a lemon component to speak of, the bomb does give off a fresh, crisp clinical scent that wouldn't seem out of place in a detergent or a toilet cleaner. That's not to say it's an awful smell - far from it. However, I can definitely see the link between the two. Upon impact with the water, Over And Over froths up immediately and forms a large igloo of yellow foam on the surface of the tub. Within seconds, the ballistic starts to shoot out streams of bright pink foam across the water, and it is the combination of these two colours that give the bath its rich, bright orange finish. The overall experience lasted for a good couple of minutes - with the bath bomb decorating the surface with swirls of vivid colours, not unlike The Enchanter. Unfortunately, I didn't find that this bath bomb was as potent with its fragrance once it had fully dissolved, although I was surprised to find that the smell stayed on my skin for a couple of hours after I had towelled myself down. Given the nature of lime-scented products, I do feel as if this is an ingredient that can sometimes disperse a lot quicker than other citrus smells - that's if it's not supported with other elements. As the fennel was the weaker of the two components, it wasn't much help at retaining the aroma for longer in the bath. In its favour, this bath bomb is incredibly moisturising. Before I had even submerged myself under the water, I could see the swirls of oils on the surface of the water, and was slightly worried to see the build up of some of these around the outside of the tub. However, they washed away with ease after my bath and I didn't find that the experience was overly greasy at all; I would have happily washed my hair in the water and I don't envisage that it would have caused any problems if I did.
Instead the oils made the water seem far more sultry and thicker than your typical bath water, and both during and afterwards, melt skin felt super-nourished and in far better condition than it had been before I stepped into the tub. It almost felt as if the butters and oils had wrapped a protective layer of moisturise over my skin and for this reason, I didn't have to use a lotion or a massage bar afterwards. Overall, this is a bath bomb that would work better in the warmer months, because although the ingredients help make this a product to use if you have parched skin and need it replenished, the fragrance is very uplifting and bright, and it's far lighter than what you'd necessarily want in the colder months. I really enjoyed using this for nourishment and because the smell is rather lovely, but I wouldn't say that this is one that I would want to stock up on, on a regular basis.

What I will say about Sleepy Pill is that the intensity of flavours here is definitely potent enough that the tabs will do the very opposite of putting you to sleep. In fact, the very first time I used one of these, I almost had to spit the tab out into the sink: the flavour was far stronger than I had initially envisaged it to be and it took me by surprise.
Each of the mouthwashes also contains xylitol - a natural substance that is found in certain fruits and vegetables and is used in foods and cosmetics as a refined sweetener. This ingredient has been proven to cause none of the harmful effects that sugar can have on the teeth, is perfect for diabetics as it doesn't effect blood sugar levels at all, yet offers the sweetness to help give these tabs their interesting but enjoyable flavours.
