LUSH Profile

Lush is an international company that creates handmade bath, body and cosmetic goodies. They pride themselves in offering quality products filled with natural ingredients. They are very vocal in regards to the fight against animal testing and tend to support a number of other worthwhile causes as well (something I personally love). 

LUSH recently released their Easter collection and I've been dying to share it with you because I personally think every single product would make an amazing addition to any Easter basket this year! Seriously, who wouldn't want to wake up to that basket above?! The majority of individual products in the LUSH Easter collection are bubble bars and bombs. I've shared them each below, just make sure you prepare yourself for ultimate cuteness!

Where to Buy

LUSH Immaculate Eggception Yellow Review


lush immaculate eggception bath bomb review

Product Type

This giant bath goodie, which instantly reminded me of Madonna's Immaculate Collection, is a massive, fizzy bath bomb that holds a fun surprise within! This is meant to be broken in half and used in up to 3 baths. This is also available in pink.

Scent

This scent is a gorgeous mix of citrus and vanilla. It actually reminds me a bit of Lord of Misrule bath bomb--which I absolutely love the scent of.

In the Tub

LUSH's bath bombs are insanely fizzy and make your entire bathroom (along with the entire floor your bathroom happens to be located on) smell amazing. I do recommend rinsing your tub right after use as the pigment in the bombs can occasionally dye tubs if allowed to sit for too long. 

Price

This bath bomb retails for $12.95 (8.6 oz)

Where to Buy

This is available through LUSH/LUSHUSA.com


LUSH Bunch of Carrots Bubble Bar Review


lush bunch of carrots bubble bar review

Product Type

This is a bunch of 3 adorable carrot-shaped bubble bars--seriously guys, how cute are these?!

Scent

These have a mix of citrus and a unique somewhat deep, yet crisp note I can't quite liken to anything else. Super interesting and nice if you want something a bit different!

In the Tub

LUSH's bubble bars are amazing! They create the most lovely tubs full of bubbles and just half of one "carrot" is enough for a single bath in my opinion, so you get multiple baths from this adorable bunch. 

Price

This carrot bunch retails for $12.95 (5.2 oz)

Where to Buy

These are available through LUSH/LUSHUSA.com


LUSH Brightside Bubble Bar Review


lush brightside bubble bar review

Product Type

This is one of LUSH's infamous bubble bars, which has returned for a second Easter! 

Scent

This has a super fun, zesty orange cream scent that is phenomenal!

In the Tub

As I mentioned above, LUSH's bubble bars are amazing and create fluffy tubfuls of bubbles. This bubble bar can easily be broken into pieces for multiple tubes. This will turn the water a vibrant blood orange color, so I suggest rinsing your tub after use to prevent staining. 

Price

This retails for $10.95 (7 oz)

Where to Buy

This is available directly through LUSH/LUSHUSA.com 


LUSH Fluffy Egg Bath Bomb Review


lush fluffy egg bath bomb review

Product Type

This is a popular LUSH Easter veteran bath bomb that is making its return for yet another year.

Scent

This has a deliciously sweet candy scent mixed with soft vanilla

In the Tub. 

LUSH's bath bombs are amazing--super fizzy and great smelling. I love the little candy flowers on these. I usually take them out of the tub though as they don't always melt all the way. I noticed my egg has white speckles on it, which is often the case when cocoa butter bits are added, but given that cocoa butter wasn't listed in the ingredients I'm assuming it's just bits of sodium bicarbonate that didn't fully mix in. 

Price

This retails for $5.95 (4.6 oz)

Where to Buy

These are available through LUSH/LUSHUSA.com 


LUSH Carrot Soap Review


lush carrot soap review

Product Type

This is a slice of LUSH's cocoa butter-filled soap featuring part of a leaping bunny.

Scent

This has a fun tropical scent that reminds me a bit of a mix of citrus and papaya.

On the Hands

I love LUSH's sliced soaps and regularly keep them in our bathrooms! They lather well, clean well and smell amazing. I wish the entire leaping bunny was on each slice, but it's fun nonetheless! 

Price

This soap retails for $6.95 (3.5 oz)

Where to Buy

These are available through LUSH/LUSHUSA.com 


LUSH Golden Egg Bath Bomb Melt Review



Product Type

A new LUSH invention, this is a mix of a bath melt and bath bomb! This egg has a lovely cocoa butter shell with a fizzy bath bomb interior--dusted in brilliant gold shimmer. Does this remind anyone else of the giant golden goose eggs in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory?! Big Roald Dahl fan here ;) I'm planning to stop into a LUSH store to grab some more goodies before Easter and I'll have a hard time not Veruca-Salt-ing my way through the Easter section! 

Scent 

This has the same scent as the popular Honey I Washed the Kids soap.

In the Tub

I love, love when LUSH mixes cocoa butter bits into their bath fizzes, but adding an entire shell of cocoa butter? Total win! This makes water so soft and fragrant--you need it.

Price

This retails for $8.95 (3.8 oz)

Where to Buy

This is available through LUSH/LUSHUSA.com 


LUSH Bunny Bubble Bar Review


lush bunny bubble bar review easter 2014

lush bunny bubble bar review easter 2014

Product Type

This nearly too-cute-to-use bunny is a bubble bar. And yes, he is my favorite so he absolutely needed two pictures to showcase how sweet he is!

Scent

This little guy has the same scent as the Creamy Candy Bubble Bar--perfect suits him!

In the Tub

This little guy not only provides amazing bubbles, but he's chock full of shea butter and coconut oil so he makes bath water as smooth as silk. If you bring him home and can't force yourself to use him ... I understand! He's too flipping cute <3 

Price

This guy retails for $6.95 (2.8 oz)

Where to Buy

Bunny is available through LUSH/LUSHUSA.com


Final Re-cap


Prices

Final Thoughts

LUSH is obviously a favorite of mine, but some of the goodies they put out this Easter are so adorable I can't even take it! Everything smelled and looked amazing. I honestly don't think you can go wrong no matter what you choose, but that bunny ... oh my gosh is he my favorite! Every once in a while LUSH puts out a bath goodie that is so darn cute I feel the need to grab bagfuls before they're gone (and I do!). Last Halloween it was Pumkin Mumkin, this past winter it was Christmas Penguin and this spring? Bunny Bubble Bar! If you only get one thing from LUSH's Easter collection my recommendation would be the Bunny, but if you really want to wow someone Easter morning (or treat yourself) grab them all!

What do you think? Will you be nabbing any of LUSH's fabulous Easter goodies?
