The Body Shop Virgin Mohito Body Scrub | Review

If you've read my blog for a while you'll know that I am very interested in vegan and cruelty free products and brands and the Body Shop is one of my favourites and recently I've been trying to only buy cruelty free and vegan products as I am vegetarian. I decided to take a trip to the Body Shop and treat myself and I bought the Virgin Mojito body scrub, which smells like lime and mint. I don't normally like scents like this but I fell in love with the scent when I smelled it, it's so fresh and citrus-y and probably now my favourite body scrub scent I own. 

The texture of the product is jelly like but soft, and it contains micro beads which burst on the skin and add some extra texture and scrub on the skin. The size of the product is good and is going to last a long time and I love the feeling of freshness that it leaves on the skin.

I would consider getting this product again or even the same one in a different scent.
Has anyone tried this before? What do you think?

Lush Turtle Bath Bomb | Review

It's been a while since I've tried a new Lush bath bomb. I bought the new Turtle Bath bomb recently and forgot that I had it for a few weeks. I loved the idea of it, and it promotes the threat of plastic in our oceans, and the threat that it causes to our marine life. Turtles think that the plastic floating in our oceans are small fish and jellyfish that they can eat and it can suffocate them and harm them. It's a serious problem and we all really need to think a lot about how much unnecessary plastic we use and how we can reduce it in our daily life. 

When I went to use it I realised that there was some sort of mould or discoloring and I assume it was the way that I was storing it and it probably means that it should be used sooner after purchase rather than later. It says online that the bath bomb is a jelly bath bomb but the one I had did not feel like a jelly bath bomb compared to the other ones that I've tried from Lush. It has a very natural and earthy scent, that I liked originally but after smelling it a few times it smelled a little too over powering for me. The shape of it is very cute as always Lush makes their bath bombs look great before and after put in the water.

   

After placing the bath bomb in the water it fizzed up completely very quickly and I did like the colours that it produced they're very like the ocean and the earth blending together in a mixture of blue and green swirling shades. The scent faded quickly after dissolving which I didn't mind as I began to dislike it.

    

Overall I was glad I tried this bath bomb and I love the idea behind it and the subjects that it promotes but the bath bomb itself was disappointing and not my favourite, I probably wouldn't purchase it again but if you're a Lush fan I would try it yourself to make up your own mind on it, as although I disliked it, I still think it's a nice product, as Lush product always are.

Has anyone else tried this yet? What are your opinions?
