With great anticipation, I'm so excited to finally share with you my Lush haul! So many of you have been asking me about it on Instagram, but I didn't want to share it until I'd used a few of the products for review for the blog article. I've been using them all religiously since I got them and, I have to say, I'm hooked. I really love organic products, but Lush has really made a name for itself in the beauty industry with its handcrafted, cruelty-free beauty products that really work. Scroll down to read about my Top 7 Products from My Lush Haul.

1. 9 to 5 Cleansing Lotion. My absolute favourite product so far. I've been using the Lush Cleansing Lotion every morning and night, and have seen a huge difference in my skin in just a few weeks. It's a very light, soap-free milk lotion that has a whole bunch of amazing natural ingredients, including almond oil, dove orchid extract and ylang ylang (those last two I'd never heard of previously, but I'm loving them just based on how much better my skin looks and feels at the moment). It's super simple and quick to use (perfect for the on-the-go person), as well as being very soothing and calming. I'll definitely be using this product for  very very long time.

2. Each Peach Massage Bar. You had me at massage. There's not much that I enjoy more than a luxurious massage, but at $130+ a pop for a decent session here in Perth, I was over-the-moon to discover Lush's Massage Bar selection for a do-it-yourself alternative. I love that their massage bars effortlessly melt onto your skin without the mess of liquid oil; plus, they smell delicious!

3. Sex Bomb Bath Bomb. Smells amazing, looks amazing, feels amazing. This is the perfect bath bomb for a night-in. I love that it makes the whole bath pink, allowing the inner girl in me to come out. The best thing about the Sex Bomb Bath Bomb is the beautiful pink flower that appears once the bomb has fizzled out. After a while, the flower sheds it's petals, which float on top of the water. It's truly spectacular. My skin always feels wonderful after a bath bomb too; not dry and scaly like it usually is after a hot bath.

4. Happy Happy Shower Gel. You'll absolutely love the citrus scent, which actually smells like a real grapefruit. It also leaves skin feeling super clean and soft, not rubbery like some gels and soaps can do. I've also been using this to lather up my legs and underarms before shaving, and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.

5. Ultrabalm All Purpose Balm. I am a big big big fan of all purpose balms and Lush's version doesn't disappoint. I mainly use the balm on my lips before bed and on my cuticles after using a hand cream, but will also use it on a blister, dry patch of skin or a graze. I only have a tiny tub of it, yet have hardly make a dent since using for the last couple of weeks every night.

6. Ro's Argan Body Conditioner. Look, I thought this was a silly idea to begin with. I mean, conditioning your skin? Isn't that just a hair thing? Well, it turns out it isn't. Yep, I'm a convert, This is such a great idea for somebody that is constantly on-the-go and may not have time each day to spend moisturising their body with a cream post shower. Once lighting rinsed off and patted dry, skin is left feeling incredibly silky smooth and smelling absolutely delicious.

7. Celebrate Body Lotion. This is a limited edition Christmas lotion with oranges, almond oil, lime and cognac; a combination that, weirdly enough, smells a lot like bubblegum ice-cream. For hours after application, the Body Lotion leaves the skin with a really healthy glow that reminds me of summer. It's feels really rich on the skin, so I can imagine it will be perfect for winter when skin tends to get super dry (I'll be taking it with me on my up-coming snow holiday!).
