Lush Valentine's Event

I have really fond memories of my first event with Lush Southampton, right back when I’d just really gotten into blogging, so when they invited me along to their Valentine’s Evening, I couldn’t say no. An evening with some of my favourite girlies getting Lush all to ourselves? Yes please! We were greeted by the always lovely staff, and left to a little mooch around the store. Then we were rounded up so that the demonstrations could begin.

We were introduced to some of the Valentine’s items, with demonstrations of both the Unicorn Horn bubble bar and the Lover Lamp bath bomb – both of which were stunning. Once we’d been amazed by the magic of Lush, and smelt everything in sight, we were gathered round as we saw our very own batch of Cupcake Fresh Face Mask being made. It was really interesting to see everything that goes into a face mask – it quickly becomes clear why you need to keep them in the fridge.

We also had the opportunity to have a little look at some of the newer releases for Mother’s Day. I fell in love with the Ladybird – I mean, look at how cute they are! I also loved the look of the Yummy Mummy shower cream, the colour and smell were both stunning.

Before the evening came to an end, we were let loose on Lush’s collection of lip care products, and their makeup range. I’ve used Lush lip scrubs in the past (I’ve got the Mint Julips one on the go at the moment) but I hadn’t looked at the lip glosses or the makeup before. The lovely Nicole played a game of Emotional Brilliance with us, where you spin the wheel and pick three colours, which reflect your emotions at the time. Your colour choices may change depending on the day, which I think is really fun. There are so many different colours, from conventional reds and nudes, to bright blues and greens. They’re super versatile too, you can use them for lip colour, blush, eyeliner – talk about value for money!

Overall, I had another fabulous evening at Lush Southampton with my blogging girls. It’s always such an inviting atmosphere, and I learn so much every time I go. Of course, I had to pick up a few bits, and we were gifted some lovely bits, so expect a haul soon!
