I went into Leeds earlier today- firstly- how much does it suddenly feel like winter?! The air is so crisp. It was actually my favourite kind of autumn/winter weather- clear, sunny and really fresh.
I have bought a few things which I will post about soon but I wanted to do a whole post dedicated to the Lush Freshers pack. There are three different boxes that you can choose from (The De-Stresser, The Big Night Out and The Morning After The Night Before) which include 8 products for £10. You can also create your own customised pack which is what I went for, with a little advice from the Lush girls.

Here are the contents:
You could choose two 50g soaps (I think it was 50g...). I went for my favourite which is Rock Star, and also chose the infamous Honey I Washed the Kids. I haven't tried this before but it smells delicious- and not overly 'honey'.
I liked the idea of these packs as there are a few bits in it that I wouldn't usually buy myself. I haven't tried the toner tabs before but I really like the sound of them. I was given a full demonstration and all you do is dissolve the tab into a sink, or bowl full of hot water, and then hold your face in the steam for a few minutes (with a towel over your head to keep it all in)- all of the goodness will absorb into your skin. Apparently it's good to use the toner tab before using the face mask- and you can also use the water to remove the face mask with.

The Oatifix face mask was recommended for my combination skin. It is described as 'skin porridge' and is full of oats, organic bananas, sandalwood oil and ground almonds. It is currently being chilled in my fridge so I'm having to warn the boyfriend off of eating it! I will be removing this mask with a muslin cloth for extra exfoliation.

Be warned- these sugar scrubs get sugar everywhere! I took it out to photograph and a shower of sugar fell of. This is great for exfoliating and has ginger and fennel in it. I would recommend either using it in one go, or keeping it away from the shower. The last one that I used ended up collapsing by the side of the bath as it had been hit by the water from the shower!

Again, this is a Lush product that I wouldn't have considered buying before. This is the Jumping Juniper solid shampoo which is for oily hair and is a mix of lavender, juniperberries, lemon and lime. I had to ask how you use these but it seems very simple- just lather it in your hands like a bar of soap and massage into your hair. I was told that these last forever. I will let you know how I get on with it!

I decided to go for the Skin Drink moisturiser which is a rich moisturiser. I think I will apply this solely to my cheeks though as I'm not sure how my t-zone would react to all of the extra moisture. It's a really funny colour but it looks like a lovely treat and is full of shea butter, cocoa, sesame and other such oils!
Has anyone tried any of these products before? If you'd like full reviews of any products then just let me know!

Ah I grabbed one of these for my friend who's been a bit unwell recently, I love the fact that there's a good mixture of products, great value for money! Does the sugar scrub work well?
I'm tempted to get one for myself too :)
Looks like there are some great goodies in there! Sad I dont have a Lush shop closer by - actually maybe that's just as well lol! xx
Oh that's a bargain!
I'm going to look into them. Would make great gifts as well :)
I cant wait to go to leeds so I can hit lush.
Great lush haul..how long is the freshers pack around for?
xx
I was going to pick one up the other day but I didn't have time. I really should have! A great chance to try out some enw products :) xo
ooohhh love this! i like lush products but they use too many allergens for my skin. Fell in love with an internet company called Herbal Head that was just like Lush only cheaper but the recession must have hit them as it's closed down now :( thanks for following my blog x

I'm really tempted to get this, I haven't used anything from Lush before and this seems to be the perfect kit to start with x
I love Lush! That face mask is yummy, and the 2 soaps you chose just happen to be my favourite 2 aswell! Great little set you've got there, I'd love to see your review on everything x
Oooh haven't checked out the Fresher packs yet! Must get myself to a Lush shop asap.. 8 products for £10 is a bargain! xox
I love lush. I might try tht fac mask too as I have combi skin (argh!). Might get one of these boxes as a present too. Fantastic idea
Honey soap looks amazing as always!
:)
i saw the ad of it in the window. i didn't realise it would include so much. im definitely going to get myself a freshers pack tomorrow ^^ thanks for sharing. xx
£10 for all of that?! I was in my Lush this week and I don't think they had this offer :(
Great choices though! I bought some skincare stuff and I'm soooo impressed! Their moisturisers are really nice! I'm posting about it soon!
:)
Haven't heard about that, sounds like such a great deal!
Rock Star soap is gorgeous; shame the sugar scrubs literally disintergrate when in contact with water. Toner Tabs are also wonderful too, when done right. So much Lush love!
How pretty are these! Love even looking at lush goodies :)
I was looking at these, they're a brilliant idea. I love Rockstar. My fave lush products though are Cupcake Face Mask and Whipstick lip balm x
i love honey i washed the kids! i had jumping juniper once but then i took it on holiday with me and lost it! i really should try it again cos my hair gets so greasy. for £10 that is such a bargain!
Em- yeah they're a great idea for a present! The sugar scrub did work well- it feels really nice on your skin!
@Jo- I'm always tempted in there and don't think I've ever come out empty-handed!
@Phoebe- definately!
@Lauren- I'm not sure to be honest. It might say on their website? I imagine for a week or so, although as it's been popular they will probably extend it.
@Missy- aw, that's a shame about the company closing. It's so sad when that happens. Damn recession!
@Lollipop- I'll try and do some reviews soon! I'm dying to use my new soaps but have The Godmother soap to use up first!
@Kalai- I definitely recommend them! Such a bargain!
@Feline- ooh I'll look forward to reading about them! Going to try mine tonight :)
@Becky- yeah that's the downside to the Sugar Scrubs- they're so messy! I am going to try a toner tab tomorrow!
@Dazzledust25- I know, I love seeing posts about Lush!
@Em x- mmm, does the cupcake face mask smell of candy and cupcakes? I love all the sweetie stuff so I bet I'd love it!
@Helen- I'm the most interested to try the shampoo! I never imagine them to be that great but I could be very surprised!
Im going to get one of these so I can try more products!
xx
ooo, pretty goodies!
Oh wow I love seeing Lush hauls :) I love Honey I Washed The Kids so much that I even bought the solid perfume! :)
Solid shampoos? Wow, that's something I'd never imagine picking up! Are you liking all the Lush stuff that you picked up???
I haven't been to Lush in far too long, now that there's not one in my local town!
Honey I Washed The Kids, is my fav ever soap! I could eat it. It smells so good, that I tend to use it up really quick, haha.
Also, solid shampoo bars are awesome! And they really do last for ages.
I didn't know Lush did sugar scrubs! They look interesting. I might have to invest!
I really want to g to Lush now ! I can almost smell how good they look ! It will be interesting to hear about the solid shampoo, i have never really tried those !
ps- It was lovely meeting you the other day !
daisy x
Okay, I'm off to Lush!!! That sounds like a brilliant deal.
I love getting all the bits out after a Lush Haul! x
I bought one of these the other day and its such great value. They also sucked me into spending £30 to get a free gift lol.
I tried out the shampoo bar i got last night and its so strange to use, but it left my hair squeaky clean, literally!
xx
I think I may have to go to Lush tomorrow!!!
Daisy! Omg, I haven't spoken to you in ages! Your blog looks absolutely gorgeous! At first I was like, where do I comment, haha, but then I saw it. :) I just wanted to let you know I tagged you in my last post. :) I hope you're doing well, love! xx
thanks for the heads up :) the lush lady said it would only be on for another 4/5 days, so best hurry to get one.
and your right the shower scrub does get every where! it kind of melted in the shower - so i only have an ickle bit left :s but it is bloody good!
i enjoy having a good read of your blog :)
@Diane- I tried the face mask last night but haven't noticed a huge difference...I have also tried the solid shampoo and I LOVE it. I thought it wouldn't be that good but it's fab! Will do a review soon!
@Aimee Marie- I tried the shampoo last night and have totally fallen in love. I was quite sceptical of it but it lathered up so quickly and made my hair super shiny!
@Daisy- I will do a review soon but so far, so good!
@Shopaholic- I know, it's like a huge goodie bag! I always forget what I've bought too.
@Gillian- haha, I always get sucked into them offers too!
@Melanie Rose- thank you! I think it fits my blog name pretty well!
@I am:- I'm glad you enjoy reading! I know- I used the sugar scrub once and then the rest ended up down the side of the bath. Bit too messy for my liking!
xx
haha... I wasn't afraid of edward scissorhands, though I do understand that you were!
I love the name: honey I washed the kids... it's lovely!
*loves*
I ADORE 'Honey, I washed the kids' it smells amazing!
I want to eat the pink soap :) What is its errr... "Flavor"? Strawberry? :P Would love to try the honey soap. The facial mask ingredients made me wanna eat that one too. hehehe As well as to try it. The products seem super nice and not too pricey.
xoxo
I got a freshers box too :) was so pleased with it! Have you tried the toner tabs yet? She said it will help get rid of my cold too, how strange! :) xx
