A girl has to do what a girl has to do

As a lot of you know I am a " Lushie ", no I am not an alcoholic I am just obsessed with the store Lush Cosmetics. If you have never heard of them please do yourself a favor and run to the closest store or pop online and check out what they have to offer www.lushusa.com. They do not test on animals and work with natural ingredients. They are amazing. 

Out of all their things I adore their bath products to make bath cocktail ( they coined that phrase ) they have bath bombs, bubble bars, bath melts. Said bombs have roses in them, seaweed, sparkles, some fizz, they all smell amazing and most of them turn your bath a gorgeous color. Of course all of this comes with a price, a price I cannot afford at the moment !!

With all of this being said I went onto Etsy recently and searched "bath bombs " and saw the cutest one from Mountain Madness Soap Company named Funky Monkey, the scent sounded heavenly and the price couldn't be beat. It was also all natural. Then I came across a bubble bar named Rock Candy, it sounded like it would smell like my favorite Lush bubble bar named The Comforter which to me personally smells like bubble gum. I went ahead and ordered both, with shipping total cost was only $12. That is a steal.

I waited eagerly for my package arrived and it finally came the other day, I busted open the package ( nothing was broken it was packed up nicely ) and sniffed both items, upon cold sniff I loved the Funky Monkey, the Rock Candy bubble bar was similar to my beloved Comforter bubble bar kind of, well maybe not !

That night I gave my daughter a bath and was nice enough to share some of my bubble bar, it was soft so it was easy enough to break off a piece for her which in a way I liked but it was a bit crumbly. We got lots of bubbles but not loving the scent the way I hoped I would. I am happy with the amount of bubbles I do get.

Tonight I used the Funky Monkey bath bomb, the smell is yummy, reminds me of a pina colada ! It lingers on the skin nicely after the bath afterwards and it's not overpowering. The bomb didn't change the bath water any color and it did not last long at all, pretty much over in two minutes- three tops. And it was super oily however my skin feels nice and soft. 

It is not Lush but I am pretty happy with what I got. I will still shop around Etsy and see what else they have to offer, it's fun to shop around :-)
