HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL!

Lush is a global business now, with over 700 shops in 43 countries, each of which have their own festive traditions and celebrations. We’ve tried to include some of these in our winter range, as we understand that this wonderful time of year means different things to different people in different countries. This is your passport to international beauty without having to leave the comfort of your own bathroom!

Northern Lights soap (Php275 for 100g) … a bright, beautiful soap reminiscent of the spectacular Northern Lights. Vibrant reds, greens and yellows all swirl together, with the fresh scent of pine oil, cypress oil and lime oil. You could almost be standing in a Finnish forest, breathing in the scent of the woodland and the sights of the Northern Lights! Pine and cypress oils are calming for the mind, while lime oil works well on congested skin and cellulite. A good one to shower with after a late night, it will wake you up whilst soothing the emotions if you’re feeling a little delicate. Vegan

Glögg shower gel (Php375 for 100g) … the traditional Glögg is a spicy, warming, fruity mulled drink popular in the cold Scandinavian countries such as Sweden, Finland and Norway. The Lush version is a shower gel with a similar warming fragrance to act as a hot toddy in the cold weather. Containing fresh orange and lemon juices, red wine, brandy, cinnamon and clove, this spicy wash will leave you feeling all toasty as it works to help improve the circulation. Vegan

The Jilted Elf shower jelly … based on a cocktail recipe from a bar in New York, there’s vodka in here – a great skin brightener – along with honey and fig infusion to soften the skin. There’s also a blend of zesty grapefruit oil and spicy cinnamon leaf oil and ginger oil, to uplift the spirits and stimulate the circulation, helping to keep the cold at bay. Gold glitter tops off the recipe to leave you ready for the next round of Christmas parties! If you’re feeling brave, you can freeze it for a really invigorating shower to start the day.

Australian Igloo sugar scrub (Php245) … polar opposites you would think, but we found that the beautiful Australian essential oils of eucalyptus and sandalwood made for a fantastic body scrub when blended with sugar. And it looks a bit like an igloo, hence the name! Each one has a soft, molten centre of extra virgin coconut oil, the idea being that the sugar gently exfoliates the skin and the coconut oil will soften and moisturise it. Skin will be left bright, smooth, healthy and glowing. Eucalyptus is also good for helping to clear congested skin and to aid concentration, so the perfect antidote to a hangover! Vegan

Gingerbread House bubble bar (Php275) … Piparkoogid … or gingerbread to you and me … is everywhere at Christmas time, especially in countries like Estonia and Germany. This warming, spicy, stimulating bath time version is crammed full of ginger powder to help increase circulation and warm you up on cold winter nights. There’s also a hint of buchu oil and lime, to give it a fruity scent. Vegan

Chilli Tingle lip tint (Php395) … a moisturizing lip tint made with Mexican chilies to make your lips tingle! Made with an emollient base of organic jojoba oil, fairtrade cocoa butter and candelilla wax to seriously soften the lips, the annatto seeds will leave them brushed with a tangerine hue. There’s icing sugar in the recipe to add a delicious, sweet taste while the chilies work to naturally plump and stimulate the lips into a perfect pout … grab some mistletoe for a red-hot smacker!
