I was lucky enough to be able to attend the very first blogger event at the Lush Basingstoke store with 6 other bloggers (Hannah, Katie, Sam, Angi, Alyssia and Dawn) on Wednesday evening where we given demonstrations and shown a number of their products from their summer range. We were also given the opportunity to create our own Big Blue bath bomb which was a lot of fun and interesting to see how they're made. I documented a couple of photographs from the evening but also wanted to share with you some of the products we were given in our goodie bags and my thoughts on them.

1) The Bright and Breezy gift set contains the Each Peach Massage Bar and the Rub Rub Rub shower scrub which both smell amazing. 

2) The product that I'm most excited about is the Sea Spray hair mist which gives you that beachy hair look so is ideal to use over summer. I actually used this yesterday and was really pleased with the effect as well as the delicious, fresh smell. To achieve the best volume, spray throughout the day.

3) As I mentioned above, we were lucky enough to actually make our own Big Blue bath bomb. It was interesting to see the creative process behind it and it was surprisingly pretty simple! We were also given a demonstration of Big Blue combined with Sunnyside which has a sweeter scent but complimented each other well. I'll definitely be taking a trip back to Lush to buy the shimmery bubble bar!

4) Next up is The Sunblock which is a unique product since it has an SPF 30 that is applied in the shower by gliding it over your skin before you even leave the house. This is the first product I've ever heard of that protects your skin in such a way. 

5) Sandstone has a lovely smell to it (think citrus) which is a soap you can lather all over your skin in the bath or shower. 

6) I'm excited to use the Ocean Salt Scrub as I love the effect on my skin after application and this salt scrub has a citrus fragrance to it that will no doubt make me feel refreshed.

7) Again, the Million Dollar Moisturiser smells divine and also has SPF 30 to help protect your skin against harmful rays. My skin feels so soft and smooth after using this product so I will definitely be returning to Lush to buy the full sized pot!

8) I know I'm not the only one who can't stand applying sun cream that makes you feel sticky and greasy all day long. Well fear not, because Powdered Sunshine will protect your skin without all of that! It's a loose powder with SPF 15.

9) Fair Trade Foot Lotion is perfect to sooth hard, dry or cracked skin and has the added bonuses of smelling like peppermint and being pink. 

10) Sesame Suntan Lotion is perfect for you peanut butter obsessives who love the smell of it. 

A big thank you to the Lush Basingstoke store for making all of this happen (shout out to Ryan and Zoe for being so great) and allowing me to attend. Let me know what your favourite Lush products are or if you've used any of the products I've mentioned above and what you think of them!
