Lush Review - May Day

Sorry for the absence, I have been doing a lot of drinking exam prep! I have lots of new products that I have bought in the time I have been away, which means lots of posts should be coming!

First off, I decided to talk about something I bought after a much needed afternoon of retail therapy. I got some new workout stuff and some summer clothes but what I am going to write about today, as you can tell by the title, is one of my latest Lush buys, "May Day".

Lush is my ultimate favourite shop. I can never just walk past it, I always end up in there, spending more than I can probably afford! Usually my spending is limited to the bath bombs/bath melts/bubble bars but I have been known to splurge on the shampoos and facial cleansers.

When I first spotted the new, limited edition ballistic, I was instantly drawn to it because it was one of two new items that I hadn't seen before (I didn't pick up the other one, but I don't doubt I'll end up going back for it!). One thing that really drew me in to "May Day" was the fact that every single penny (minus VAT) goes to anti-badger cull projects. The bomb itself is white, with a few black marks to try and make it look like a badger. The scent off this product is amazing, one of the best in my opinion. It smells like a mix of aniseed and lemon, which may not sound like the best combination, but trust me, it is beautiful! The ballistic has Fennel oil in, which helps reduce inflammation (which was great as my ankles were swollen from so much walking the past few days, I am such an old woman!), Rosewood oil, which is anti-septic, and Bergamot oil, which is anti-bacterial and the smell is meant to help uplift your mood.

When put into the bath, the ballistic fizzes instantly and leaves a few black streaks from the badger in the middle of the water. When it has fully fizzed out, the water is left rather cloudy, but I don't think that is a negative. Inside the bomb is a little piece of paper with "KEEP THOSE BADGERS ALIVE" on, which obviously corresponds with the message behind the bomb too. The smell also stayed for the duration of my bath, which was coming up to two hours later.

Overall, I love this bath ballistic and might have to go stock up on more while they are still in store!

The ballistic and the secret message!
