Many of my friends never go anywhere near Lush because of all the different smells mixed together so I hardly ever visit the shop. That's why this Christmas I'm really happy my Auntie got me this gift set! I've only ever tried a few things from Lush and my favourite by far has got to be the Snow Fairy Shower Gel. I only used it in my hair and it is my favourite shampoo! It smells divine and leaves my hair feeling so soft.

Since I only received the gift set yesterday I haven't had much time to test everything yet. However, I've tried a couple of things today. I used the Golden Wonder bath bomb today. The design of the bath bomb was really cute and Christmassy with gold glitter and a bow. When you first drop the bath bomb into the bath it begins fizzing straight away and turns the water yellow which was expected. But surprisingly after about 30 seconds as it reaches the middle of the bath bomb, the water starts to turn blue as the core obviously must have blue powder inside which I thought was really cool! I'm fascinated too easily haha! The bath bomb smelled lovely and left my body with a subtle hint of glitter all over, very pretty.

Secondly, I used the Snowglobe Christmas soap. I don't know if anyone does the same thing as me but when I receive something new, especially at Christmas, I hate using it/too much! So this morning when I was in a bath I gently rubbed the soap between my hands to get a lather and done this with each part of my body to use as little as possible. I still managed to clean myself properly and save mostly all of the soap so I was pleased! I can still smell the scent of the soap on my body right now so I am overall very happy with this particular product.

As far as the other products go, I haven't got round to them yet. They all smell delicious though especially the Glogg shower gel as it has a rich, cinnamon, Christmas scent to it. I have used another lip scrub before but can't for the life of me think what the name was and I can't check the Lush website as it unavailable. If it's any help it was the pink one and it tasted like Bubblegum...  it may have been called Bubblegum... I don't know haha! Nevertheless, I really like the particular lip scrub as it removes dead skin well and I'm sure the Pow Wow one will be the same. I do prefer the smell of the Pow Wow one as I am a big fan of lime scents so I'm looking forward to trying it out because it smells yummy.

I'm very pleased with this gift set and can't wait to try everything out! I'll post individual reviews of the products I like the most from this box. I'm also going to be reviewing a Soap & Glory gift set I got for Christmas too once I test out most/all of the products.

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas or 25th of December! I wish you all a Happy New Year too!
