Musings of a Muse

Softsoap Wintermint Wonderland & Enchanting Sugar Plum Body Washes are on my stocking stuffer list.

I’m over stuff my sister’s stocking every year with tons of beauty goodies, accessories, and small makeup products. I’m always looking for really cheap yet fun stuff that she’ll love and I KNOW she’ll make incredible use out of these washes.

Ulta has launched there Holiday 3-in-1 Beauty Smoothies. If you don’t have the cash to splurge on Philosophy’s Holiday Shower Gels these are an excellent dupe at a bigger size for less $$$.

Take a look!

Lush Mr Punch Soap is a newly launched, limited edition Christmas Soap. He’s supposed to be fruity with an injection of lime oil, juniper berries, gin, and blackcurrant….

Anytime Lush puts lime into a soap I jump on the bandwagon and ride away into the happy sunset…! They always do lime right. I heard blackcurrant and instantly visions of The Comforter danced through my head. Lime and blackcurrant?

This could be heaven.

One variation is never enough for beauty junkies that’s why Lush North Pole Soap comes in two fragrances! Lush created their new Lush North Pole Soap for Holiday 2012 in two different colors with two different fragrances so you get a little variety with your Christmas Shower Cheer.

I picked up the white variation for myself recently from Lush UK and I’m ever so happy I did because it quite reminds me of Lush’s long gone Candy Cane Soap I loved so much.

My sister calls lilies “funeral flowers”. No wonder Lush named it’s popular Halloween Shower Gel after a ghost!

Ghost Shower Gel is Lush’s seasonal Halloween release fragranced with a burst of lily of the valley. I’d never thought I’d say I like the smell of lilies but once a year I do so haul a large bottle of Ghost and allow it to haunt my shower for several weeks. The scent is…addicting somehow.

With much disappointment I had to say Goodbye to Lush Ghost Shower Gel this year. Le sigh. Lush decided to introduce it in a Shower Jelly format. I really dislike Shower Jellies as they end up more down the drain than on my body or hair. Meh, burp, grrr, no like!

If you don’t mind spooking up your shower with a jelly you can haul Ghost Shower Jelly now, for a limited time, at www.lush.com

Are you a Ghost fan?

Prefer the Jelly or the Gel?

I can’t believe I never reviewed Lush Slammer Shower Gel on Musings! It got discontinued long before I started my website so that could be one reason.

Thankfully Lush introduced it to the Retro Collection a few years ago and I’ve had an ever ending supply of it. Phew! I love it almost as much as I love Back for Breakfast.

Why?

Let’s rent a cozy cabin in the woods and sip on Pumpkin Spice Lattes while it snows outside and we exchange stories about our latest beauty hauls inside.

Ok, maybe when I think cabin in the woods those things don’t exactly come to mind. It’s more along the lines of I find the Naturan Demant, evil demons stalk me, and Bruce Campbell circa 1981 swoops in, saves my life, and THAN we sip on Pumpkin Spice Lattes together.

I like that version better you?

Maybe it’s not your thing though?

How about a Philosophy Toasty Cabin for the safe folks?

Lush Ponche Shower Gel evokes images of Erik Estrada in my mind. Seriously, the first memories I have of my older cousins were of them watching CHIPs on telly.

Am I giving away my age here?

Anyone remember that show….! I know it might be hard to believe but Erik Estrada used to be kinda hot.

Anyway, for Christmas and Holiday 2012 Lush has introduced their Ponche Shower Gel on the scene with a shot of tequila and a bit of orange juicy this boozy sensation will have you wriggling in the shower.

Yup, Lush Christmas 2012 has sneakingly popped up on both the US and the UK websites. Crazy right? Typically Lush is one of the few brands that waits until we are nearer to the Holiday to launch their seasonal collection.

But today I bring you word of Lush Holiday 2012.

Looks like the US and the UK have slightly different products so I’m listing them all will a little note where they can be purchased. The collection in the US seems smaller than the UK but I have hopes as we near to the Holiday we’ll see more products pop up. For example, I don’t see Snow Fairy available on the US site but it is available on the UK one.

Take a look!
