LUSH Valentine's Day 2013 review + photos

LUSH Tender is the Night Massage bar




        I can always count on LUSH for charming seasonal collections, and their Valentine's day collection is no exception. There a number of gift sets and single items that are certain to strike your (or a special someone's) fancy. I've tried and tested four limited edition pick-me-ups from the LUSH Valentine's Day 2013 lineup below:


LUSH From Dusk Til Dawn massage bar
1. LUSH Tender is the Night Massage bar ($7.95) has a relaxing and alluring vanilla, jasmine, and ylang ylang scent. The bar is aerated, and therefore very soft and easy to melt. The heart shaped bar can be crushed to reveal a melted almond oil, glycerine, cupuacu butter, and agave syrup concoction at the core. 
2. LUSH From Dusk Til Dawn massage bar ($7.95) is a more uplifting massage bar. It has Sicilian lemon, sweet wild orange oil, ginseng, and ginko to stimulate the senses. The firm texture is more like LUSH's regular massage bar line; the firm gold-capped cone shape is perfect for working into knotted muscles.


3. LUSH The Kiss lip gloss ($8.95) is the brand's first vegan lip gloss. I was pretty excited about this because some beeswax balms don't agree with my lips. LUSH This Kiss uses shea and cupuacu butters to moisturize and protect lips. The whipped texture is soft and melts to the touch. The almond and mandarin flavors and subtle pink tint are pluses as well!
4. LUSH Willow Pattern soap ($7.95)is a Sicilian lemon and rosewood scented soap.  The beautiful blue imprint on the soap cakes (the in-store version only, not online) was inspired by a traditional Chinese tale of star-crossed lovers. I love the gorgeous scent of this soap; I hope it makes a return appearance next year!

         I'm enjoying all four of these products from the LUSH Valentine's Day 2013 collection; they're perfect for sharing on Valentine's day, and will also get good use in the days beyond. These sweet treats are only around for a short time, so be sure to get your soon! Thanks for reading! Have you picked up anything from LUSH Valentine's Day collection? Which of the products appeals to you most? What was the last thing you tried from LUSH?

Love, Dovey.

    Tender is the Night looks adorable! I'll have to sniff it first though. I'm not always a fan of ylang ylang, though when blended well I'm fine with it!

    These sound so good! My go-to massage bar is their Soft Coeur -- I also use it as body moisturizer. Smells AMAZING.

      Hi Procrastinator, Oh, Soft Coeur is nice! I've been thinking of using them as moisturizers too. I really want to get my hand on Strawberry Feels Forever

    Oh, these seem so cute and lovely. I'm still enjoying the Jumping Juniper shampoo bar. Looking forward to trying more of their stuff eventually!

    Hi Dovey! Does the lip gloss wear off quickly? Or is it long lasting like some "higher end" lip glosses?
