Lifestyle || Lush Boxing Day Sale Haul!

I can't even begin to explain how difficult it has been saving these products to photograph for this post, although I have had a smelly room for the last week! Lush is known for their boxing day sales and everyone and their mum seems to get hyped about it. This year was the first that Lush decided to take their sales completely offline, and decided to stock the products in store only. This decision was seen to be quite controversial online, and I saw many comments on Twitter disagreeing with this decision. I personally have never shopped online during the Lush Boxing day sale, always favouring visiting in store the day after Boxing day, but I hear that the website was never really able to cater for the traffic. I guess Lush decided to do something about it this year by sending the remainder of the products to stores instead. This is a decision that has clearly helped out a lot of people as when I visited the store last Thursday, there was still quite a bit of Christmas product left on sale.

This Christmas was the first year that I was actually going to be working on Boxing day in one of the biggest and busiest sales of the year, I will let you guess which store that is! I was hoping to have a shift that would allow me to pop out in my break to visit Lush in enough time that the decent products and gift boxes would be left. Unfortunately my shift was 7-1 with no break. My dad saw how disappointed I was so said he would drop me off at work and queue up for when Lush opened to get me the bits I wanted (how lucky am I!). With list in hand, my dad managed to get second in line and headed into the store to shop. Let's just say, my dad got a little bit carried away and taken in by all of the sales that Lush had to offer! Considering these products tend to last me all year, I am SO pleased he went a little bit OTT. 

Anyway onto the main reason for this post, all of the gorgeous Lush products...

• Stardust Gift Box - Shoot for the stars bath bomb, 100g snow fairy shower gel, Shooting stars soap, Snow fair sparkle jar, Star light star bright bath melt and Magic wand reusable bubble bar.
• Snow Fairy Shower Gel 500g 
• Snow Angel Bath Melt
• Butter Bear Bath Bomb X3
• Golden Wonder Bath Bomb x2
• Luxury Lush Pud Bath Bomb
• Pink Pumpkin Bubble Bar
• Thundersnow Bath Bomb

So it's safe to say I was pretty lucky to be able to get my hands on all of those products. As I mentioned earlier in this post, I stock up on all of my Christmas products from Lush every December to use throughout the year. Is anyone else like that? 

Let me know what your favourite Lush Christmas products are, and if you managed to get any of them in the sales! (Make sure you send me the links if you wrote about them on your blogs! 

Until next time, 

Beauty : Lush Boxing Day Sales!

Ask anyone who knows me, and they will tell you that I probably spend the majority of my evenings relaxed in a bath, with a Lush bath bomb fizzing away around me! Nothing beats a warm bath with Lush products after a busy day. One thing that Lush do well in my opinion are their Christmas products. Every year I get excited to see their latest wacky ideas and it's something I always look forward too. One thing about Lush that often puts me off going spend crazy on all of my favourites, is the price tag. (I mean £4.25 on a one use bath bomb, puh-lease!) 

Unless you have been living under a rock then you probably saw the whirlwind that was the Lush boxing day sale. Everyone and their mum seemed to be tweeting about it, myself included, so it was only fitting that I attempted to pick up some of my favourite Christmas products that I had been putting off getting at full price (I mean 50% off!). The sale went live on the Lush website at 10pm Christmas day. I went online at 10:05 and was put into a queue, a queue that I didn't actually manage to get to the front of! (I understand how good it must look for Lush to have a demand for their products, but c'mon! They should have expected the rush of customers who would be rushing to their website at once.) 

So after giving up, I decided to pop to a physical Lush store in my town. I expected it to be packed, so was happily surprised that I managed to get everything that I wanted without actually meeting another customer in store (talk about a comparison to online!). 

So onto my little haul...

Snow Fairy - Orig £3.95 - Paid £1.97

Father Christmas Bath Bomb - Orig £3.75 - Paid £1.87

Stardust Bath Bomb - Orig £2.95 - Paid £1.47

Northern Lights - Orig £3.95 - Paid £1.97

Butter bear - Orig £1.95 - Paid £0.97

Golden Wonder - Orig £4.25 - Paid £2.12

I'm so pleased that I managed to get into the store in the end. The whole website drama was winding me up, and I loved that I was able to shop with ease in my own time and at my own pace! The Lush sale is truly the only Boxing day sale that I get excited about shopping in! 

Did anyone else manage to get any of the Lush products in the sale?
