A HUGE thankyou to Lush Worcester for inviting me to the Christmas product launch again! For me it marks the start of all things cosy and Christmasy, I officially love it!
You may also notice that these photos are considerably better than normal, that because I took my lovely friend Natalie who is my blog proof reader and general "keep Laura on track person". (Didn't know I have an official pre-reader did ya? Well, I do!). For one night only she also became blog photographer, thankyou sweetie, the pictures are amazing.
Right, lets get down to business (if you didn't mentally add "to defeat the Huns" then shame on you). I got to see, touch and smell this years Christmas range the night before it went on sale and generally gush over it all, which I did gleefully.

The night itself is always amazing to go to. There's lots of Christmas food to nibble on your way round as well as some festive themed drinks. They even play Christmas music!! I'm not sure the other bloggers and staff were *quite* prepared for our sing-a-long duet to "All I Want For Christmas" but frankly, Nat and I were too awesome to care. We even got a visit from the Snow Fairy who demo'd Never Mind the Ballistics (a newie to the collection), gave us a little song, a sprinkle of sparkle and really flooded the place with Christmas cheer. The amazingly talented staff also wrote and performed a poem (with art work!!) for us.
The staff were amazing all night! They did a constant stream of demos for us to photo and get all excited over and were super nice in trying out the products. I even got a nice little hand and arm massage with Salt and Peppermint Bark, made my skin smell and feel beautiful all evening.
Now, down to the products themselves. Lets start with old favorites which have come back to grace our bathrooms for the Christmas period then move on to new loveliness. I won't go into loads of detail on each product as I have attached an unboxing/first impressions/blabbing on video at the bottom of this post.

All the Snow Fairy range is back AND MORE! There is the classic pink, sparkly, bubblegum scented shower gel as always, along with the classic bubble bar wand etc. But this year they've also added some Snow Fairy Fun and a super cute pink moisturiser to the range.
Also back with us this year are; The Magic of Christmas bubble bar, Peeping Santa, Candy Mountain and Butterbear to name a few. All of the products this year are self preserving and vegan! Some of the classic products, such as So White (personally, my fave Christmas scent) and Shoot for the Stars have had a bit of a revamp looks-wise, but the beautiful scents are still there.
I was utterly spoilt for choice on the new Christmas products this year! They are all amazing, I had to be very VERY strict on myself not to buy them all in one big go, though I do now have the biggest Christmas list you have ever seen.
I loved all of the new stuff this year, but a few really stood out for me. Firstly, there is the Snowie bubble bar, which shares it's scent with Frozen, and has been made in dedication to the wonderful David Bowie. Its a very snazzy looking fella of a bathbomb and has an awesome scent. I'm already dreaming up the bath cocktails i'll make with this little cutie! I also love the new Santasaurus bubble bar, its so cute! The idea came from a Mr Bean film where he has a little dinosaur with a Santa hat (apparently!!) but I think he is just adorable. He's also quite a fruity little fella, with Brazilian orange and bergamot oil.
I'm also loving Bubbly shower gel (smells like Golden Wonder!!) and the Ruby Red Slippers bubble bar.

And finally, the gift sets. To all my friends: this is probably what all of you will get this Christmas because they are all super pretty! They've covered everything from little stocking fillers under £8 right up to the huge sets with every Christmas product imaginable. They have really gone to town on the gift wrap designs this year and I can honestly say there is something for everyone. My favorite are the Pip and Rudolph gift sets which are two bath bombs, in knot wraps, made to look like adorable characters! A Pip one may have followed me home....
To sum up:
I loved pretty much all of it
The gift sets are amazing
I love Christmas a little bit too much
I spent A LOT of money!

Give my vid a watch if you'd like some more detail on the products themselves (or if you just want to see me slowly covering myself/the sofa/everything in bath bomb crumbs!)
