For those who are not familiar with Lush, it is important to know that they make cosmetics by hand from only natural ingredients. They also never test on animals and ensure that they only use suppliers who don't either.

Lush are committed to reducing packaging and also support loads of charities and projects around the world, details of which can be found on their website, along with products and ingredients. You can shop online and also locate your nearest shop. Orders placed online usually arrive within a few days and are packaged in popcorn instead of polystyrene which is obviously much better for the environment.

Bath Ballistics are usually a solid ball shaped mass of bath salts. To use, just run a warm bath then drop them in and watch them go crazy, fizzing their way round in the water. They will quickly soften and scent the water (often colouring it too) until finally they have dissolved. The whole room will smell gorgeous for hours after using a bath ballistic as the fragrance lingers for hours.

This one looks a little different from the others because it is a heart shape which has real rose buds in it. My friends used these as wedding favours for the female guests and they were perfect. She tied them into little organza bags and because of the shape, they were the ideal gift. Obviously, the guests were delighted to be given treats from Lush too!

A 120g ballistic will cost you £2.95 and is suitable for vegans.

This ballistic has quite a gentle scent compared to some, and if you are a fan of rose, then you will love it. It leaves you bathing in clouds of steamy rose scented water which relaxes you and quickly makes you feel chilled, soothing away all the stresses of the day. The rose petals float about in the water making you feel like you are bathing in a posh spa rather than your own bathroom.

Ingredients are as follows;

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Seven Rosebuds (Rosa centifolia), Rose Absolute (Rosa damascena), Orris Root Powder (Iris florentina), *Limonene, Perfume}

*Occurs naturally in essential oils

The fragrance of this ballistic is fresh and despite being subtle, is quite heady and feminine. This is definitely one for the ladies (though Mr Siamese loves it and insists that men like rose too!) and best enjoyed with plenty of time to relax.
