Calorie-free Easter treats from Lush

To all my lovely diet-buddies panicking over the fact that it's Easter next week and the house will be full of chocolate, start dropping hints about this lovely lot of Easter treats available from Lush. I'd love to lock myself in the bathroom for an hour in the bath with some of these, leaving Madhouse daddy Mike to deal with the kids who will inevitably be going loopy on a sugar rush !!

NEW

Heñata bath ballistic (£4.50) ... quite simply, this bath bomb is like a piñata for the bath – but it’s a hen. So it’s a Heñata. Smash this cheerful chicken against the side of your bath to reveal some hidden surprises inside, including soap paper flower petals and a small egg made from ballistic mix! It’s a colourful fiesta for your tub and perfumed with uplifting citrus tangerine, bergamot and mandarin oils to help keep the party going! Vegan

The Brightside bubble bar (£4.25) ... a bright and cheerful swirl of a bubble bar to give you a fresh and cheerful perspective. Scented with a trio of uplifting and invigorating oils, there’s: Sicilian mandarin, tangerine and bergamot oil and just a squeeze of lemon. All are energising and also incredibly toning oils that will lift the spirits and clear the mind. Crumble under the running taps and watch as the water turns into a hazy red and orange sunset with frothy white clouds of bubbles. Vegan

Easter Egg Hunt soap (£3.40 for 100g) ... you don’t have to hunt very far to find all these Easter eggs, all nestled in the soap lawn for a spectacular display. Scented with fruity and mouth-watering orange, raspberry, lemon and violet leaf absolute, it’s a great springtime wash. Vegan

LUSH FAVOURITES

Carrot re-usable bubble bar (£4.95) ... It’s Easter!

And what do you get at Easter? The Easter bunny of course! And what do Easter bunnies eat? Carrots! One of our reusable bubble bars, swish it around the bath by its green top, make your bubbles and then pop it on the side for another time. The fragrance smells nothing like carrots, as we’ve used lots of fruity oils like buchu, lemon and bergamot to really make your mouth water. There is a little bit of nutritious carrot oil in there though, which is rich in vitamins and an extraordinary skin soother and rejuvenator. Vegan

Fluffy Egg bath ballistic (£2.95) ... for those who still want their candy fix, try this sweetie scented pink egg adorned with a candy flower. It’s like bathing in a bubbling mass of marshmallow, candy floss and jelly bean scented water ... you’ll get your sugar fix without anything passing your lips! Available in spots of zig zag patterns this year. Vegan

The Immaculate Eggception (£6.95) ... one of Lush’s innovative double-layered bath ballistics, these are hollow eggs with a surprise inside ... crack the outer layer bubble bar and ballistic mix to reveal either a mini chick or bunny ballistic inside! You can then throw the outer eggshell and its inhabitant into the bathtub and enjoy a vanilla absolute, lemon and grapefruit scented soak. There are two colours to choose from, the yellow egg with green decoration contains the bunny; while the pink egg with yellow or blue decoration contains the chick. They both make for a cracking great bath! Vegan

This one can be used all at once, or each bit used for separate baths – so one could last you three baths!

GIFTS

Hoppy Easter (£11.95) ... a cute Bunny knot wrap containing

a Fluffy Egg bath ballistic and a Carrot re-usable bubble bar. Knot only do you get to give a cute little bunny for Easter but the Knot Wrap is also reusable, so two gifts in one! It’s made with organic cotton, so lovely and soft. A great alternative to traditional gift-wrap, especially at a time like Easter when excess packaging is so prevalent.

Spring Tin (£29.95) ... a fantastic tin designed by artist and designer Roman Klonek, containing a selection of uplifting, invigorating and energising Spring products to thoroughly cleanse, stimulate and invigorate the mind and body.

Contains: Avobath and Secret Garden bath ballistics; Carrot re- usable bubble bar; Bright Side bubble bar; Happy Hippy shower gel; Sugar Scrub; Bohemian soap.
