Lush Valentine's Day Collection 2014

This years Valentine's Collection from LUSH does not disappoint! It is such a cute collection and well worth having a look at and perhaps buying something for a loved one or for yourself. Here's a look at all the products from this years collection.


Love Locket Bath Bomb(£6.95/€8.95)

"The Love Locket was inspired by the kind of heart-shaped locket you wear as a necklace, perhaps with a secret photograph of a loved one inside. In the same way, you have to unlock (crack open) this Love Locket bath bomb to reveal the secrets hidden within."
This bath bomb is a real feature in this collection. It smells beautiful and sweet and its' ingredients include jasmine, vanilla and Neroli Oil (citrus/orange scent). It is pricey for a bath bomb, but considering there is another bath bomb inside, you could get 2 baths out of it! Want to see what's inside?

Tender is the Night Massage Bar (£6.50/€8.50)

"A sensual massage bar filled with romantic essential oils. Shea and murumuru butters are specially blended to melt easily onto the skin to allow a smooth massage. As well as helping the bar glide, they also help to lock in moisture. As the bar warms and softens, it releases the heady blend of ylang ylang oil, Fair Trade vanilla absolute, and jasmine absolute that settle onto the skin." 
As with all massage bars from LUSH, you apply Tender is the Night on dry/damp skin when you're just out of the bath or shower. The massage bar melts due to the heat of your skin and then simply rub the oils into your skin. These massage bars are a great alternative to a body moisturiser and are very practical for travelling. This massage bar will also be joining the all-year round range.

Close to You Massage Bar (£5.50/€6.95)

"This smooshable massage bar is beautifully fragranced with Fair Trade vanilla absolute. Inspired by the humble Jammie Dodger biscuit- as you peek through the heart shaped hole on top of the bar you can see into the sumptuous white fondant centre."
This is one of my favourites from the range and I haven't even used it yet! I just love the smell! Simple as that! This little pink and white massage bar is so cute and adorable. In case you were wondering what the smell reminds you of, this massage bar has the same scent as Rock Star soap, Creamy Candy bubble bar and is incredibly like the Bubblegum lip scrub! Yum Yum! I'm looking forward to smelling of candy and bubblegum!

Neon Love Soap (£4.25/€5.50/100g)

"This is a unique soap with an uplifting, fruity fragrance. Bergamot and rosewood work together to create a rich scent, whilst fresh figs, passion fruit juice and soya yoghurt nourish and soften the skin."

Prince Charming Shower Gel (£4.65/€6.25/100g)

"With marshmallow root, Fair Trade vanilla and fresh pomegranate juice, Prince Charming will sweep you off your feet and carry you off into the sunset, leaving your skin silky soft and smelling lovely- the fragrance is made using a beautiful blend of grapefruit, sandalwood and geranium oils."
You can buy this shower gel in a small 100g bottle or 250g (£9.25/€12.50) or a 500g bottle also (£15.95/€20.95).

The Kiss tinted Lip Balm (£5.75/€7.20)

"A delightful, whipped up gloss made from luxurious and protective butters include Fair Trade shea and capuaƧa. This preservative free tinted lip gloss gives a touch of colour to the lips. It's so easy to apply you won't even need a mirror!"
This light tinted lip balm is created using the same aerating technique as their massage bars. It also provides moisture and a glossy pink sheen to your lips. The colour is quite sheer but it would be ideal for wearing everyday. 

Neon Love Gift Box (£17.95/€23.50)

"A mixture of products that will ensure your Valentine's Day is filled with romance, excitement and plenty of Fun...Why not create a secret message with your Fun and leave it in you bathroom for your lover to discover?"
I love these gift boxes in these collections from LUSH! They do their gift boxes really well and are an ideal present for a loved one or for yourself! They come in this amazing recycled wrapping paper and are so cute! They are also filled with goodies and it works out better value than buying the individual products. Inside this box you have Neon Love soap, Red FUN, Turkish Delight shower smoothie and the From Dusk Til Dawn massage bar. 

Lots of Love Gift Box (£26.50/€33.95)

"We've created the perfect gift to spoil the one you love, with five limited edition products for a luxurious Valentine's Day treat. This gift was inspired by the heart-shaped Neon Love soap you'll find hidden inside. The message is simple, heartfelt, and reiterated by the luxurious, sweet and floral scented products inside."
Again this gift box doesn't disappoint and is filled with some really great products. It contains Neon Love soap, Sex Bomb bath bomb, Prince Charming shower gel, Ro's Argan Body Conditioner (which is an in shower moisturiser-great if you're in a rush) and the Tender Is The Night massage bar. 


The entire LUSH Valentine's Day collection is available at www.lush.co.uk, which now ship worldwide (including Ireland) or you can pop in to your nearest LUSH store. (In case you Irish girls didn't know, there are two LUSH stores in Dublin's City Centre-one on Henry Street and one on Grafton Street!) And just to note the Valentine's Collection is now in stores and will be stocked in stores until March, so do get in to your local store if you can and check it out. You won't be disappointed!
