I am the sort of person who loves to celebrate valentines day. Now alot of people think valentines is just a day to make money, card companies, chocolate companies all send out huge marketing campaigns inticing people to spend money on gifts which revolves around one single day! Well I am one of those people who loves to celebrate it. Usually its a nice meal out and then desert at home so to speak!

Mr Sweetpea unfortunately does not share the same joy when it comes to valentines day! He doesn't really see the importance but to keep me happy he plays along and will normally volunteer to book a table at the chosen restaurant. This valentines he amazed me in purchasing nearly the whole entire Lush range at the Dublin store. However a few years ago he was not actually around for Valentines due to a work event abroad, but did manage to get me a little something on the way back. He managed to stop in at the Poole store on the way back and picked me up the Love Stack.

Love Stack contained:- Tisty Tosty Bath Ballistic, Soft Coeur Massage Bar, and a specially molded 125g heart-shaped Rock Star Soap

Giving chocolates and roses for Valentine's Day is sooo "been there, done that," dont you think? Lush clearly agreed, and decided to play with the usual Valentine formula, now you can give chocolates and roses in the form of delicious bath and body products instead! Not only that, but Lush's usual "soap stack" becomes so much more this time out, offering a bath, a soap, and a sensual massage bar as opposed to the usual triplet of soap slices.

Serving as the base of this loverlicious tied parcel of goodies is a specially molded, pink heart-shaped Rock Star Soap with the same rock candy and bubble gum fragrance shared by Creamy Candy Bath. In the middle of this love sandwich is a rose and orris root Tisty Tosty Bath Ballistic, decorated with seven delicate rosebuds that float about in silken, though often scent-free and always colour-free waters. However if you are like me and do not like dead flowers floating around in your bath then this one may be a mistake to use. They end up going brown and soggy which are not visually appealling at all! So maybe this isn't a ballistic to use when your sharing a romantic bath with your partner! If you want a full review of Tisty Tosty then please see my full review on it!

Crowning the stack is one of Lush's all time greatest massage bars; Soft Coeur (The Honeymooner.) Fragranced with honey toffee by way of honey and bergamot (identical to Honey I Washed The Kids soap) and filled with cocoa powdered cocoa butter to add a vegan take on chocolate to an already delicious aroma, it's guaranteed to leave your mouth watering. And how could you not like it? It leaves your skin (and your partners) silky smooth all day or night long!

To start your Valentine's Day with a Rock Star shower, begin your evening with a discreet Tisty Tosty bath, and then after dinner, instead of gorging on chocolates, be your own sweetheart and cover your body in rich, nourishing chocolate-infused cocoa and shea butters. In my opinion, there's no better way to spend Valentine's Day than learning to love oneself; and thanks to Lush,
they've come up with just the thing to make sure you do it right. The temptation of a full day of Lushing; how could you resist?

If I recall rightly Love Stack cost £7.50 and the reason why I remember this is because my darling partner left the price tag on in his haste to give me this gift! At the time if you were buying the items individually they would cost you 10p less! So that 10p pays for the string and gift tag! However it's still a lovely little gift to receive! As with all of the "stack" style gifts, because they are stacked against many others, getting one which is in perfect nick is quite hard so don't expect something in ultra perfect condition! Also dependant on whether you have received one which has been on the shelf for white a while you will find that they have dried out quite a bit but if it's a limited edition like Love Stack you should be ok. Unfortunately Love Stack was not reproduced again but the good news is all the items are still available at Lush!

Summary: A lovely present on Valentines day
