I am not a usually a bath girl. I prefer the ease of a shower. Spontaneously, I decided to draw a bath and spend a little time with Jay Gatsby (in book form obviously!). The lady in Lush was so lovely when I purchased this as I wasn't quite sure if you'd use it in the same way as a regular bubble bar. The scent is a strange mix of cocoa and light grapefruit, although the citrus scent is what comes through the strongest.
The lady in Lush suggested I grated the bubbleroon and when the bath tub fills with water, there would be more bubbles. I didn't try this technique as I don't have a non-food related grater so I went in with the usual crumbling it under the water. I pulled in in half and decided to save the other half for another time. I was disappointed with the lack of bubbles one half provided so I crumbled the other half in and there still wasn't as many bubbles as I would have liked. Not sure if I was crumbling it the wrong way (surely there is only one way to crumble a bubble bar!). So I was left sitting in a lack of bubbly water with the scent of citrus filling the air and the odd bit of undissolved bubble bar at the bottom of the tub.
This experience certainly hasn't converted me to the bath ways but I still love Lush nonetheless. This is slightly on the cheaper side for a bubblebar at £2.95 so it's nice to have a little treat. I probably won't be re-purchasing this particular product.
Have you tried this bubbleroon before or any other ones in the range?

I've never really bothered with lip scrubs. It all seemed a bit pointless to me until my lips started flaking a lot after using lip balm and I realised to get baby soft lips, I would need to exfoliate them in some way. I had heard so much about Lush's lip scrubs but always a bit scared at the fact you have to lick it off. During a #bbloggers chat one night, someone who worked at Lush offered to answer any questions about their products so I asked if it was a necessary step to lick it off and to cut a long story short, no, you don't.
I mosied my way over to Lush and picked up this little jar of sugar scrub and left feeling about £5.25 lighter. I use this after my night skincare routine and wash off the excess with some warm water. Might seem pointless to wash it off but I did really try to lick it off one time and I just did not like it. It leaves my lips feeling soft and you can just about taste the remains of popcorn-y goodness on your lips. The taste is exactly what it says on the lid; a buttery caramel taste.
You do get quite a lot of product in the jar and you really don't need that much each time you use it. Would I buy a lip scrub again? I would say a tentative yes but the price tag is enough to put me off.
Lush lip scrubs are £5.25 each. Not sure if the Popcorn scrub is still available as it is limited edition but they have a variety of different flavours to try out!
Have you tried this lip scrub? What do you think of lip scrubs in general?

Hello, I'm Vanessa and I'm a skincare junkie (this is the part where you say; 'Welcome Vanessa, we still love you all the same'!)
I probably spend an obscene amount of my time and money on skincare but as my friend always says, you only get one skin so you have to take care of it. During the Winter months, my skincare takes a drastic turn of events because my skin thirsts for thick creams and some extra tender loving care. Here is my night time skincare routine!
Origins Checks and Balances Cleanser: this product is really growing on me. Mainly because it has lasted me ages! I use it every night and it'll probably last me a couple more months. You can read my review here if you haven't already done so.
Origins Make a Difference Tonic: this is brilliant for dehydrated skin and smells like cucumbers! Well to me it smells like cucumbers! I sweep this across my face after cleansing and it just prepares my skin for any kind of moisturiser that I decide to use.
Kiehls Abyssine Cream: 'anti-aging cream'! I hear you shriek! Well, funny story behind this purchase...I wanted to try something from the Kiehls line and conveniently I had run out of my previous moisturiser so I walked up to a Kiehls counter in Glasgow with a big grin on my face before reeling off my skin's extensive history to the assistant. She advised that I try this and I took her advice and parted with my money. On my return to Aberdeen, I noticed that it was an anti-aging cream and I bitterly sighed. But MamaOrchid pointed out (whilst pointing to my face) that it's never too early to start using anti-aging creams. I've given it a go and yes...I do like it to the point where I will finish the jar but I probably would like to try another product on Kiehl's line before embarking on anti-aging creams again!
LUSH Popcorn Lip Scrub: this is a recent addition to my night time routine. I noticed that whenever I put lip balm on, my lips are really flaky and just not attractive to look at even though I apply lip balm on like there's no tomorrow! I realised that I probably need to exfoliate my lips so I purchased this to combat the problem. I'm not going to go too much into it as I think it deserves a post of its own!
What Winter skincare products have you been loving? Does your skincare routine change along with the seasons?
