Christmas Eve Bubble Bar



On the fifth week of Christmas LUSH limited gave to me......
5 CHRISTMAAAAS EEEEEEEEEVES
4 Ghost shower gels
3 Hottie bars
2 Halloween specials
and a Snow Fairy lip and cheek tint

Christmas Eve
Price: £2.60/100g
Product category: Bubble Bar
Contains: Irish moss powder to soften and soothe the skin; Jasmine absolute for its sensual fragrance and benefits for sensitive skin; Ylang ylang oil for its heavy sweet aroma and stress relieving and mood lifting properties; Gardenia extract for its exotic scent and stress and tension relieving properties; Iridescent glitter for subtle, light reflecting, shimmery bubbles.
How to use: Crumble bar (or ½ a bar) into bath while water is running (crumble under the running water), give the water a really good swish, enjoy the mountains of bubbles.
Other interesting facts:
·  Jasmine and ylang ylang are great for looking after sensitive skin
·  Jasmine is known for its antidepressant and stress reliving properties as well as relieving muscular complaints.
·  Irish moss forms a gel like solution when its added to water which is very soothing and softening on the skin
Verdict: I’m so happy that Christmas Eve has made a return this year, as it’s one of my favourite LUSH scents. It’s so uniquely beautiful and not like any other product scent LUSH do. You’d think it would be similar to Fairy Jasmine or Christmas Carol as they all contain jasmine and ylang ylang. Though Christmas Eve’s scent really stands alone. It has a beautifully intense yet gentle floral scent that is relaxing, soothing and unwinding. The jasmine isn’t heady like Lust or Flying Fox, it’s much softer as a result of being blended with the sweet floral ylang ylang and exotic gardinia.
The bubble bar itself is a beautiful shade of blue in colour with a yellow moon design on it. It also contains iridescent glitter which make the bubbles sparkle beautifully in the tub, but doesn’t overly stick to the skin (a plus for me). It turns the water a relaxing pale shade of blue and creates lots of beautiful bubbles from just ½ the bar. Christmas Eve leaves the beautifully soft and supple to touch and delicately scented.

It’s definitely a product to use to de stress and unwind after a busy/ stressful day and will sweep you away to a tranquil and peaceful place with its beautiful scent. I’ll be stocking up on this gorgeous product so I can enjoy it all year round.
