Lush 'Melting Snowman; Bath Melt



Lush 'Melting Snowman' Bath Melt - £2.25

Recently i have been loving Lush, i went through a phase last year of using the Lush scrubs and skincare products but i never really got into the bath products. 
Over the last few weeks however i have been trying out the bubble bars, i used (but didn't blog about) candy mountain bubble bar and the pumpkin bubble bar, and i loved them. They didn't create too many bubbles in my bath to be honest but the colour and smell was enough to keep me repurchasing. So when browsing the Lush store last week i decided i would try a bath melt for a change. I went for the melting snowman because of the festive factor mostly but also because it smells amazing, i can't explain the smell very well to be honest it's not a christmassy smell in my opinion but it's just fresh and spicy. The bath melt's are supposed to fill your bath with moisturising oils to leave you soft and smelling amazing. I haven't used this yet i'm saving it to soften me up before a night out, but it claims to have cocoa butter and shea butter, amazing!

"Exquisitely fragranced with Hot Toddy, a favourite blend from Christmas past containing cinnamon, clove, patchouli, benzoin, lime and sweet wild orange oils. But if it isn’t enough to smell of one of our most popular Christmas fragrance - he’s also got a body made of water softening bicarb of soda, cocoa butter and shea butter. All these wonderful butters melt into your bath water, leaving you soft and moisturised. His legacy is your great skin, which means he lives on in the memory of all who knew him."

Tonight i seem to have come over all festive! Possibly because i caught my mom watching the worst christmas film ever made this afternoon, i don't even know what it was called but it was American and it was pure camembert cheese, so so cringey about 2 neighbours competing against each other over having the best christmas lights, there was also a teenage love story involving the daughter of one neighbour called suzy and the son of the other called chip. I say no more. As well as that god awful movie she also watched several of Jamie Olivers christmas programmes (which i enjoyed watching.)
So once all of this was over i ended up painting a reindeer onto my nail just messing around but then i thought hmm apart from his wonky nose i actually think i did quite well, so off i went and carried on with a candy cane. I wasn't thinking about blogging them so i didn't photograph the process but i basically just cut up thin lines of selotape to do the candy cane and also to do the reindeers nose. The glitter i got in a pack from the range (such a good homeware shop!) All i did was put on a clear base and then sprinkle over the glitter, so simple! To do the antlers i cut a cotton bud in a diagonal and used to point to dip in the black barry m varnish and voila!
