Lush Christmas Haul: A Throwback to the 2016 Festive Collection

Okay, so I might have gone a little bit crazy…

There is just something about Lush at this time of year that always draws me in. From the incredibly festive scents to the cute designs, their marketing just works, and I fall for it every single time.

Last year, I ended up making two online orders. This year, I decided to cut out the middleman and buy enough to last me a good few months all in one go. Which might technically be worse than making two separate orders, but we’ll just look past that for now…

From legendary Snow Fairy duplicates to absolute bath classics, here is my ultimate Lush Christmas Haul!

Shoot For The Stars | Bath Bomb

This bath bomb makes a return this year with a brand new design, and I’m actually a little bit sad about it. Only because the old version was one of my all-time favourite bath bombs!

Which means there is a lot riding on this new look, even though I’m sure I’ll still like it. Blue bath bombs tend to be a pretty safe choice for me, as I always love the end result in the water. This one contains Brazilian orange oil, bergamot oil, coconut cream, and fair trade organic cocoa butter.

If you’re curious to see how it looks in the water, I have posted a full review.

Mistletoe | Bath Bomb

Mistletoe is a brand-new launch for 2016, and it’s one that I’ve been looking forward to trying. It contains notes of jasmine, vetivert, and ylang-ylang, which make for a very musky and sultry scent. It’s not the typical sweet or spicy scent I’d usually associate with this time of year, but I do really enjoy it.

If you would like to see this in the water; I have a full review.

Golden Wonder | Bath Bomb

This bath bomb holds a very special place in my heart, as it’s the first ever product I tried from Lush. Let’s just say: what a place to start! I feel like I have to pick this up every single winter, purely because it’s so nostalgic for me. It contains lime oil, sweet orange oil, and cognac oil, creating a beautiful, bright citrus scent.

If you’d like to see this in the water, then I have a full review.

Father Christmas | Bath Bomb

I originally wasn’t going to pick this one up, but two words changed my mind straight away: Snow Fairy. Yes, Father Christmas smells exactly like the iconic Snow Fairy.

Which isn’t what I expected looking at the design, but I’m definitely not mad about it. I have, however, since seen reviews stating that this turns the bath water a bright green, and I don’t quite know how to feel about that. I suppose there’s only one way to find out…

Luxury Lush Pud | Bath Bomb

lush luxury lush pud

I’ve heard lots of great things about this bath bomb over the years, but this is my first time trying it. I have no idea why I’ve never picked it up before, as it looks like something I will absolutely love. Luxury Lush Pud shares a scent family with the famous Twilight bath bomb, containing lavender oil, ylang-ylang oil, and tonka absolute.

I have a full review of this bath bomb, if you’d like to see the end result.

So White | Bath Bomb

I’ve heard a lot of good things about this one over the years, but I’ve never personally picked it up before. It contains bergamot oil, orange oil, and neroli oil, which gives it a crisp, fresh, apple like scent that perfectly matches the Snow White theme.

I will admit that I picked this up thinking it still turned the water red, but the core has been changed to green for this year. Which, as we know by now, isn’t a bath water colour that I’m 100% keen on!

Candy Mountain | Bubble Bar

An absolute classic! After trying it for the first time last year, it quickly became one of my all-time favourite bubble bars. Candy Mountain is also Snow Fairy scented, which is one of my absolute favourite ranges. If you love your sugary, sweet, vanilla scents, then you need this in your life.

Magic Wand | Bubble Bar

So, I originally wasn’t going to pick this up, as nobody truly needs two Snow Fairy scented bubble bars in a single haul… but as you can see, here it is!

Magic Wand is pretty much the exact same concept as Candy Mountain, but it comes on a wooden stick with a cute pink ribbon and a little bell. They both create mountains of bubbles, turn the water a vibrant pink, and have that identical sugary scent. I will say that this one would make a much better Christmas gift just because it has the extra bells and whistles—literally!

Snow Angel | Bath Melt

As soon as I saw this bath melt, I just couldn’t resist. The cute white angel design drew me in, and the shimmering gold glitter on the bottom completely had me sold.

Admittedly, it’s not the most practical product; just touching it becomes incredibly messy, and I’m already not looking forward to cleaning the gold residue out of the bath afterwards! Snow Angel shares a scent with the Snow Castle soap, containing rose, benzoin, and cassie absolute. It has the most delicious marzipan and almond scent that I just can’t get enough of.

A Little Bonus…

That was everything I explicitly picked out from the shelves! However, I also have to give a quick shoutout to the Lush staff because I randomly received a Butterball bath bomb for free at the checkout, which was such a lovely surprise.

Let’s Chat in the Comments!

That was my entire Lush Christmas Haul!

Now I want to know: Are you a fellow Snow Fairy addict, or do you prefer the relaxing lavender scents like Twilight? What is your all time favourite festive bath bomb?

Thank you so much for reading!

If you’re local to Cheshire (or willing to travel for a really good scoop) you need to add @bidleadairy to your list📍

Not only is there ice cream, they have: cows, ponies, and a donkey to say hello to🐮

We didn’t stop for food this time, but we’ve made a mental note to come back as everything looked so good!😋

Both kids adore @tractorteduk so I knew this would be a hit, and they spent ages playing!💚

What’s your go to ice cream flavour? This time I went for Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate M&M’s and it was 10/10😋
🍉 JULY 🍉 wholesome family moments, sunshine, and 🍉 JULY 🍉

wholesome family moments, sunshine, and way too much good food ☀️🍝

From surviving the first heatwave with water play in the garden to a lovely little trip to the farm, it’s been the best kind of month🤍

Make sure you scroll all the way to the end to see Jake getting eaten by a dinosaur 🦖😂

Missing mornings like this✨ Current mood: Sitting Missing mornings like this✨

Current mood: Sitting by a pool in Greece sipping a freddo cappuccino😍

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠 

Swipe to see how hot it was in Ella’s room, just in time for bedtime🙃

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
