Whilst shopping for a gift for a friend who just so happens has never tried anything from Lush I did treat myself to one or two things. Since the retro Lush products became available online I have been trying some of the ones I missed out on the first time round that I remember being quite popular. This time I opted for a bubble bar called 'Melomint'. One of my favourite Lush products are the Bubble Bar Slices, because I love to have lots of bubbles in my hot bath, I love the aroma which lingers throughout my home when I use them and ultimately I love the weird and wacky names given to these products to draw me to them. This particular Lush ...  Read the complete review

I know I tend to shop in Lush quite a bit but until a few weeks back I had never checked out anything from their "Retro" range. The Lush retro range is basically a load of old favourite products that were originally discontinued but people loved them so much they started bringing some back and now they are available to buy whenever you fancy. Now Im still quite new to Lush so I was looking as a first timer at this range but if theres something you loved from Lush years ago that you cant find in stores anymore it might be worth checking this out because they do have loads of products in this section. Anyway as the bubble bars are probably my favourite products ..  Read the complete review

If you are not a fan of Lush then you may not know what they do and what they are all about,. To begin with, they create hand made cosmetics from only natural ingredients. They never test on animals and ensure that they only use suppliers who don't either.

You can shop online and find your nearest store. Part of the website is dedicated to "Retro" items which they no longer sell on shelves but because they are old ...  Read the complete review

If you read my reviews regularly you'll know that I'm slowly trying to make my way through all of natural cosmetics store Lush's bath products. Originally I stuck to the in-store products, but later I discovered the Retro section. These are products that were discontinued from Lush's main line, but were popular enough to remain available to order via the website and through mail order. Last year I ordered a huge box of Retro goodies and I'm still working my way through them. One item I ordered was a bubble bar named Melomint. Bubble bars are solid bubble bath products. You crumble them into running water and they produce loads of bubbles, turning the bath a ...  Read the complete review

As I said in my Wuss bubble bar review, I do not like ballistics and bubble bars, but will never say no to a Lush freebie, so when I was given a Melomint bubble bar, I gave it a try. As you can see from the Dooyoo picture, Melomint has a pink centre and a green crsut - what you may not be able to see, is that in the pink but, there are little black seedy bits making this really look like a watermelon slice, especially my piece as it is cut in half, it looks just like a slice of melon ! Im not sure if this is meant to be melon and mint = melomint , I cant really smell any melon, however there is a bit of a fruity smell along with the minty smell, it ...  Read the complete review
