Lush - Honey I Washed The Kids Soap Review

A while back when I made an UK Lush purchase online they had sent me a couple of samples to try.  One of them was the Honey I Washed the Kids Soap.  I've actually tired this soap in the past and loved it.  So I was excited to be able to use this soap again.  The soap was only a small piece but that doesn't matter.  It's always nice to get something for free.


This sample has been sitting in my bathroom for a while and after I opened the wrap I've noticed the soap had dried up a bit.  But after my first use the soap got looks like it's back normal again.  So don't be afraid when you lush soaps looked a bit dried up.  Sorry, I didn't take a after picture of the soap.


Lush Description: 
Honey I Washed the Kids is one of our best-selling soaps because it’s simply irresistible. People who fully intended to walk past a LUSH shop find themselves unable to resist its sweet caramel fragrance. You’ll inhale, drool, pick up a big chunk and immediately want to wash yourself all over with it. It’s so gentle, buttery and scrumptious you’ll have a hard time keeping it to yourself. The honey water and aloe are so softening and moisturizing, you can use our toffee-scented sensation on the whole family.

I love the smell of this soap.  It's has a sweet honey caramel scent to it.  It lathers up pretty well and I find it very moisturizing and it leaves a very clean feeling after using it.  And you guys all probably know this already...these specialty soaps they don't last long.  So to keep it from shrinking that fast, after use you should put it in a soap dish where it can dry up quickly and not soak in water to melt.  

Online (US site) it's $7.95 per 3.5oz.  I'm not sure why but I believe the prices at the stores cost a lot more.  I was at the store just two days ago and I think I remember it being close to $9.  I dunno...maybe I'm seeing things.  You guys correct me if I'm wrong.

So how you guys all like this soaps?  And how you guys like Lush?  Let me know!!

Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale

Made a trip to the mall this afternoon for this semi-annual sale.  My main purpose is to pick up more of these antibacterial hand soaps.  They were on sale for $3 each.  With my last purchase I've done an online survey and was able to get $10 off when I spend $30 or more.  So I ended up paying $20 for 10 bottles.  What  deal huh?

I got mostly foam soaps.  Reason why...because I have young kids and the foam soaps are the easiest ones for them to use.

The scents I got are:
1) Tropical Passionfruit.  I liked the scent so I got two versions of it.
2) Fresh Picked Strawberries.
3) Vanilla Berry Sorbet.  Again, two different versions.
4) Fresh Picked Tangerines.
5) I Love Watermelon - With Cherry
6) Sugar Lemon Fizz
7) Candy Cane Bliss
8) Jingle Bellini Shower Gel (I got this because it was in such a pretty bottle and smelled great)




Anyone else went shopping and taken advantage of this sale?  Let me know what you guys gotten.

Bath and Body Works Christmas Gifts Haul

It was hard shopping for my niece. She's 9 years old and has everything. When we asked what she wanted she couldn't even answer us. Kids now a days are so lucky and has everything.

Well I ended buying her a bunch of crafts items since she's so artistic. She loves to find things and transform them into other things. Like a brown box into a doll house.

I still thought I needed to get her more. So I brought her a little extra from Bath and Body works. Please note this was purchased before Christmas, before the semi-annual sale.

Well hope she likes the items I got her. I got her a bunch of Pocketbac which I know she uses and a antibacterial foaming moose which I thought was cute and fun to use. The whole purchase was $11.16. The Pocketbacs were buy 5 for $5. The foam moose was $5. The holder was $.50.

I forgot to mention. I had a coupon for a free item for a purchase of $10 or more. So I got a bottle of body lotion (coconut breeze). I was happy. A $12.50 free. A little present for myself.

I know Christmas has past but we are giving her the gifts later tonight. Hope she like them.
