Mother's Day at Lush

Recently I was invited along to a sneak preview of the new Mother's Day range at Lush Cosmetics in Livingston. I'm not one to go to events unless they are really up my street and let's be honest, Lush is way up there with one of my favourite shops - ever. The range launched on Friday 6th of February, so it will be out now, and hopefully this post will give you some inspiration on treating your Mum.... or even yourself!

Firstly, when we arrived we were shown the whole range which includes two new bubble bars Ultraviolet and Mother Superior (particularly amusing), some bath bombs including Secret Garden and Rose Bombshell. I'm absolutely in love with the latter bomb as Rose Queen is one of my favourite bombs from Lush in general - will never take the place of my beloved Cinders though! The range also includes a gorgeous body conditioner and shower gel named 'Yummy Mummy', how apt? That is made with a blend of seaweed extract to allow silky smooth skin! The range also includes gift sets with the products inside, perfect for a gift on such a special day.

The night however, wasn't all about the new range, we also got to create our own products as well as learn more about the make-up range - something I had never previously heard of at Lush. They include everything from foundation to liquid bronzer right through to many different coloured liquid liners and lipsticks. The story behind each colour is fascinating and knowing that each one represents a different emotion was quite exciting.

My favourite part of the night was getting to create our very own Lush bomb - who wouldn't want to do that?! We got to create our very own Big Blue, for anyone who hasn't tried this bomb it makes your bath look like the ocean and who doesn't love a clear blue ocean? Just picture they summer holidays! The staff were so knowledgeable and talked us through all the product ingredients and what they were used for, constantly holding our attention. As well as the bomb, we also created Angels on Bare Skin face and body cleanser, again with a step by step tutorial as to how the product is made and the benefits of the ingredients, I should have written down the recipe!

Had such a great experience at the Lush store in Livingston and a big thank you to the wonderful staff who made everyone feel very at home in store. The Mother's Day range is absolutely gorgeous and I don't think anyone would complain getting some Lush goodies for the special day so be sure to pop along, even if it's for a whiff of the new products, they are all on sale now!
