Lush Valentine’s Day 2017

By | SSI Group Inc, Valentine's Day | No Comments

Get in the mood for love with returning favourites and new limited edition Lush treats!

NEW! Roller bath bomb

 They see me rolling 

*Oxford Street and Lush Kitchen exclusive Get the ball rolling on luxurious pampering with this simmering bomb of melting Fair Trade organic cocoa butter and fruity, floral fragrance. As it travels around your bath, the waters are infused with zesty Brazilian orange and geranium to lift your mood and tonka, which adds a warm caramel to the creamy cocoa butter slip left on the skin.

NEW! Over and Over bath bomb 

Just roll with it 

No it’s not all in your head. This enlivening cocoa butter coated lime and fennel oil bomb will perk you up and leave you thinking about it over and over again. Be mesmerized by its hypnotic rocking and rolling, as a vibrant citrus firework of pinks, oranges and golds unfurls your bath.

NEW! Cupid bath bomb 

A sure-fire way to send hearts a quiver

 Bestill your beating heart with an opulent bath time bouquet of calming rose and bergamot. This fantastically floral fizzer is full of uplifting bergamot, rose and violet leaf absolute, and its subtle sweetness is sure to melt your heart as it melts into your bathwater.

Lover Lamp bath bomb 

They call me Mr. Bombtastic 

Off with the Fair Trade organic cocoa butter hearts! Watch them melt and coat the skin in heavenly moisture while its citrusy fragrance of Brazilian orange oil and vanilla absolute lifts your mood. 

Rose Bombshell bath bomb

 Drop a bombshell 

Love is blind, which is a shame because this bombshell with a floral triplet of yellow rose petals, rose absolute and rose oil is an enthralling spectacle. As it fizzes, the outer shell breaks away and magnificent petals burst out in a sweet haze of Sicilian lemon and floral geranium oils. 

NEW! Lovestruck bubble bar

 Who’s giving you heart eyes? 

Words can’t describe how much you love them, but emojis filled with lemon and geranium sure can. If you heart bubbles, crumble under running water – you’re sure to like the result. Warning: These refreshing citrusy suds may make you feel Emoji-nal!

 

Ladybird bubble bar 

Snug as a bug in the tub 

This friendly little ladybird wants to take you under its wing and run you a hot floral bath, filled with sweet geranium oil to aid relaxation. A little peppermint oil gives a menthol hint to this flowery mix, helping to revive and uplift mind and body as you soak. Go all out for mountains of cheery bubbles or save a little for next time.

Unicorn Horn bubble bar

 They’re real 

Unicorns are probably real. But, even if they’re not (don’t worry they definitely are) you won’t mind! Relaxing lavender oil meets mood-brightening neroli in this lustre-filled bar. Neroli oil increases serotonin levels in the brain which makes us feel contented and cheery, so you can ponder the existence of magical creatures while building a fairytale landscape of feel-good, fragrant bubbles.

NEW! Two Hearts Beating as One bath melt

 Heart crossed lovers 

Set your spirit free with a union of ylang ylang and rose oils, and be mesmerized as they dance their dizzyingly floral dance in your bathwater. And, while all eyes are on the coral and magenta magic unfurling in your tub, an entourage of softening organic cocoa butter and almond oil will bestow your body with a conditioning caress.Lush Valentine's 2017 (1)Love Spell massage bar

 Softens like a charm 

Follow your heart straight to this creamy, Fair Trade, organic cocoa butter bar, filled with rich rose hip syrup and spicy carnation absolute. Fair Trade organic aloe vera gel soothes your blushes while uplifting neroli and organic lemon myrtle takes you to a higher plane. Cast a spell over a skin, or over a partner, with this romantic, floral bar.

The Kiss lip gloss 

Pucker up 

Kisses are so much sweeter when they’re infused with Fair Trade shea butter from the Ojoba women’s cooperative in Ghana. This soft, hydrating butter will moisturise your skin, while Kalahari melon and organic jojoba oils add a touch of the exotic. Organic illipe oil and agave syrup give a lovely slip and delicious shine to your lips too. Who could resist?

The Kiss lip scrub

 It’s a scrub-affair Giving some sugar?

Make sure you get some in return. This smoothing blend of fine sea salt, caster sugar and Fair Trade cocoa butter will soften the skin and leave a delicious taste on the lips. A little almond and mandarin oil sweetens, and the edible hearts? They’re just for your enjoyment. Savour it all to yourself or share with your Valentine.

Prince Charming shower cream

 Ridicule is nothing to be scared of 

Your search for a handsome rinse ends here. Whether you’re awaking from a particularly long slumber or prepping for the ball of the century, sweet marshmallow root and vanilla pod infusion will sweep you off your feet. And who needs a shoe as a souvenir? Invigorating fresh pomegranate juice and grapefruit oil will linger on skin for longer than any glass slipper could last.

NEW! Love You, Love You Lots soap 

Say it with roses 

Shower in them, bathe in them, uplift your mind, body and soul with them – nothing beats a rose to show you feel the throws of passion, and there’s four kinds in this luxurious lather. Rose petal infusion, rose oil, rose syrup and even fresh rose petals find their way into this love potion to give you a blooming good clean. Can you feel the love? You can now.

NEW! Kiss Me Quick wash card

because I love you so!

Hold this floral fresh apple pulp wash card close and let the enzymic oil of brightening lemons and limes accompany you into the shower. Lather up and rinse off, you will be left with nothing but fruity fresh, soft skin. These soapy sheets are super handy for sharing, travelling and work fantastically as sweet-scented shampoo too. Ylang-ylang will help any tiredness or anxiety dissipate and you’ll head into your day feeling joyful and raring to go.Lush Valentine's 2017 (2)GIFTS
