The reason some bath bombs are more solid than others is so they float. Bath bombs with more complex formulas, such as Monsters Ball, usually are designed to foam on top of the water and create bath art. For this to happen, they need to float, meaning they need to be less dense than water. When Lush compound these types of bath bombs, they don't make them as compact. Ballistics such as Pumpkin, Avobath, Think Pink, etc. are usually more solid as their formula doesn't contain the foaming agent (SLS). Their density often causes them to fizz lower in the water, creating a geyser effect. Crumbly bath bombs are annoying, as they break easily. However, be as careful as possible so they do not crumble before having a chance to use them. I hope this explanation clears up some confusion xx
I'm anosmic (I have no sense of smell) and I find watching Lush hauls fascinating and hilarious. The language you use to describe the scents makes absolutely no sense to me, and I enjoy being confused :)
I have questions 1) Is mandarin scent distinct from oranges and other citrus fruit? That's really weird. 2) What does Twilight smell of? A virtual high five to anyone who gives it a go, virtual hug if it makes any sense to me
sarasthoughts That is so strange! I just think of all fruit like that as 'oranges' since they taste pretty much the same to me, it never even occurred to me that the smell would be that different :)
Mandarins have a much more potent orange-y scent. Oranges, mandarins and nectarines all smell generally the same, the only difference is their size. Lemon is more sour, rather than fruit-sweet. Limes are kind of a mix of the lemon-y sour, furity sweet and a bitter wine (not really, but halfway there) taste.
Twilight is mainly lavender, which smells like ''clean''. It's like a nice deep breath, but with a hint of what sleep and cuddles would smell like. It's a really comforting scent.
I didn't realize this was 40 minutes until I reached the end. I usually don't watch haul videos, but you crack me up, so I figured it'd be worth it. It was.
I've never been to lush and I've never had a bath bomb... how you managed to keep me entertained for 40 minutes is beyond me, I guess I have to go to lush now lol
I think that's just the texture of the monsters ball bathbomb - if you've used twilight it's a similar sort of feel. I believe it's a slower fizzing one which is why you get more 'foam' (i guess lmao) rather than fizz. Supposedly more 'pampering'. We havent got Monsters Ball in store yet, but from the training notes I think that might be it xx
With the Magic Wand, the middle bit is a Star Anise and on each of the 5 points is a clove. Overtime I smell it I think of mulled wine and decorating satsumas with cloves to make the house smell like Christmas :) I am going to Lush today JUST for Sugar Plum Fairy- it's my second favourite product after Dirty perfume, and it's just the perfect wine gums scented product (other than wine gums)
Honestly watching the whole video because Emma's voice is so good and calming. It's putting me to sleep (in a good way not a boring way) Also I really wish we had a lush around here so I could just walk around and sniff stuff xD
Boxes of foxes was bomb. I loved listening to someone who was more down to earth do reviews and tutorials etc of things more accessible to me. Many beauty bloggers these days but none as down to earth and as real as you were.
Emma, you're right, Satsuma's definitely a Christmas themed bath bomb! There's a tradition in some parts of the world, especially here in North America, of putting oranges in the stockings of your loved ones! I did some research as to why, and it turns out it originated when Japanese immigrants to America would receive oranges from their loved ones back in Japan during the holidays. Here in Canada that got combined with the European tradition of putting gold coins or other gold coloured goods in stockings, and since oranges are such a bright, vibrant colour and used to be a bit of a rare treat, they started going in stockings too. I think it has become a bit of a world-wide thing to think of oranges as the Christmas fruit, now.
Honestly had such a shitty day and the fact Emma did a video really cheered me up and the fact it was this long really made me forget about the events of today and just be so happy, tHANK YOU EMMA
Honestly, i really just like listening to you talk. You could talk about anything, and I'd listen to you. I'm just playing this video on my desk as i'm doing my homework and it's just so relaxing to listen to you
Emma having her hair tied back looks nice and I get short hair problems, I literally cut my hair on Sunday as short as Emma's and I can't do anything with it and I have thick hair so it's big, but it was for a good cause and I don't regret it.
I can't help but notice how much you would suit short, straight black hair with bangs. Like Jessie j, basically. OMG! It would be so cool especially with red lipstick
The bath bombs that crumbled are actually supposed to foam so they are a bit more well, like that. The pumpkin bath bomb is a fizzer, so it doesn't usually go very crumbly :)
I love this this esp the shooting star bath bomb im trash for anything blue and gold ahhh - but i especially love the stills from this, your face is so delightful. Also wanted to say that its great feeling a lot more welcome to post comments on your videos, I love the change in you this past year or so, you seem so much less tense and more chill. Its great to see!
"There's nothing i would like more, than a candle lit dinner, with one of my favourite hot wrestlers, and them just rubbing this, all over my body" FANFIC INCOMING!
They've actually changed the design of northern lights so that they don't snap as easily as they used to. The long design was very breakable and difficult but the new design helps with that. Also no it doesn't sink, I've tried and it's GORGEOUS!!
Hey Emma! The satsuma design confused me when i bought it but i realised, the yellow part is supposed to be the little sticker you get on oranges, and the little green bit is the stem/leaves!
I bought the Goth Fairy shimmer bar from Lush (because the man at the Liverpool lush sold it to me so well) and it's my favourite thing in the universe. I'm not gonna lie. The pumpkin bath bomb smells great, but I haven't used it, I want to keep it forever it's beautiful.
I was just noting down the Christmas products I want to buy in the Boxing Day sales (Australia) and was hoping I could find a video of your lush haul for this year! I'm definitely looking forward to the Santa baby shower jelly and the mr sandman dusting powder!
Thank you sooooo much for doing this video i've been looking forward to it but then you got rid of BOF and i panicked thinking you wouldn't be doing it so thank you. i cant get all the products because our store is tiny and i love hearing your opinion.
last year i bought the little bottle of snow fairy and loved it so much and then went out and bought the 1k bottle, (which had a broken lid) then my nan bought me the regular bottle for christmas and THEN my friend bought me the christmas gift box which had ANOTHER BOTTLE OF SNOW FAIRY IN IT!! I still have the full 1K bottle and the little travel bottle left to go through!
OMG I'm so excited 40 minutes full of lush madness by emma 😍😍🎉 I need to get my hands on most of these (and yes I haven't even started watching this video hahaha)
THE SHOOT FOR THE STARS BATH BOMB IS NOW BEING SOLD IN LUSH AGAIN AND IM SCREAMING BECAUSE ITS BEEN IN STORE SINCE BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY BACK IN MAY AND IM SO HAPPY BECAUSE I LOVE THE SMELL OF IT.
I adore Snow Fairy. I stocked up on the BOGO during the day after Christmas sale. I bought 2 lg jugs, got 2 lg jugs free. I can't wait for the Dusting Powder. Yay! After I buy a Lush haul, I unwrap everything and put it in a clear plastic bag and I write the date and name of the product on the bag. It's so helpful and it keeps my products safe from bathroom (or other room) moisture. Maybe you could try doing it? I LOVE the Magic of Christmas bubble wand on the cinnamon stick with the bell. It's so lovely and lasts for many baths. I can see myself buying a lot from the Christmas line. The Jester is totally adorable. 🤗💞
I bought a autumn leaf and I use it the day I bought it and it foamed. I had four monsters balls and they were all crumbling so there is definitely something wrong with the mixer for monsters ball
I feel like all of the Halloween bath bombs this year are off and super crumbly. All of the ones in my shop anyway, and they even seem crumbly in the pictures. But when they used the autumn leaf bath bomb it worked pretty well even though it was crumbly (and it is my fave as well - Grass scented!). So, it must be something they did when making the bath bombs.
I have never tried any lush products, but I think I will try them out this year. Perfect for a stressful semester! Haha :) Love you Emma, and love this channel!
I hate the shower creams too! They changed my favourite shower gel (prince charming) to a cream last valentines and I was so sad. The gel has a much nicer texture and feel in my opinion and lathers up better.
little note as a former employee: i loved the yog nog bath bomb so much, but i can tell that it really wasn't selling well, and i knew already by the time december came that they wouldn't have brought it back. people thought the smell of the bath bomb was a bit more medicinal than the warm soap smell, and at the same time, the prospect of yellow water puts off tons of people.
40 MINUTES I FEEL SO BLESSED
Jonny Coxon sssaaaaaaaaaammmmeeee
Jonny Coxon 🐷😂😂😂
Emma Blackery + Lush = My heaven!! ✨✨💚✨✨
I've never had snow fairy, next time i go I'll see if i can get some snow fairy shower gel. 😊 Can't wait!! 💚
SophieHasNoName GET SNOW FAIRY!!! It is amazing and only available this time of the year
Tate Mark I will! 😊

This video has cheered me up so much after a morning of panicking ☺️ lyl Emma
The thing I like most about Lush is the big smile their products always give you. It's always great to watch you having this much fun.😀😘

With the Magic Wand, the middle bit is a Star Anise and on each of the 5 points is a clove. Overtime I smell it I think of mulled wine and decorating satsumas with cloves to make the house smell like Christmas :)
I am going to Lush today JUST for Sugar Plum Fairy- it's my second favourite product after Dirty perfume, and it's just the perfect wine gums scented product (other than wine gums)
Legend says if your early nothing will happen...
You'll have a fed up partner
EMMAwkward legend has it that if you're early you'll use the wrong youre
Honestly watching the whole video because Emma's voice is so good and calming. It's putting me to sleep (in a good way not a boring way) Also I really wish we had a lush around here so I could just walk around and sniff stuff xD

I have seen soooo many lush halloween and christmas 2016 hauls on youtube and haven't clicked on ANY of them because I was waiting for this one!!!!
"it's kind of a gingery smell" so... it smells like milk?
Mie Sykes I literally laughed out loud at this and my mum thinks I'm insane 😂
Isabelle Walker I'm the exact same 😂😂
Emma, you're right, Satsuma's definitely a Christmas themed bath bomb!

"Pop your cherry... Excuse me?"😂 Love you Emma, thanks for the amazing 40 minutes video, I've been missing boxes of foxes😌
yay! Boxes of Foxes come-back! I loved those videos from that channel.
I was so excited when I saw this title! I loved boxes of foxes :D
Also your ponytail is adorable
For fairy dust u can pair it with the goth ghosty massage bar to get rid of the excess moisture of the lotion
this video just made me even more tempted to spend my entire student loan on lush products
Shoot for the stars 2016 was my first ever lush bath bomb - I was hooked!
40 mins! Wow yay! 🎅🏼🎄🎉
Great way to start my day 😊
Please tell me she's taking a break and this channel isn't dying! This is my fav so far- I have faith!
The thing that got me into lush was Father Christmas bath bomb,magic of Christmas and snow fairy so basically all snow fairy 😘😍😍
its not a christmas lush video until emma licks a bath bomb! 😂
I will never get sick of the snow fairy shower gel.
'Its kind of a gingery smell' so it smells of milk.
Honestly had such a shitty day and the fact Emma did a video really cheered me up and the fact it was this long really made me forget about the events of today and just be so happy, tHANK YOU EMMA
i LOVE snow fairy. plus it's the only lush shower gel I've tried that doesn't give my boyfriend a rash.. so imma stock up this year.
Emma i feel the struggle of the ponytail with bobby pins lmao
Honestly, i really just like listening to you talk. You could talk about anything, and I'd listen to you. I'm just playing this video on my desk as i'm doing my homework and it's just so relaxing to listen to you
Also with the wands, they specifically tell you to hold it under running water. Its basically the same as putting it in a sieve.
I keep going back to my pot of sleepy and just smelling it, it's amazing 😻
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!! I'm uploading mine on SUNDAY! :D xx
Emma having her hair tied back looks nice and I get short hair problems, I literally cut my hair on Sunday as short as Emma's and I can't do anything with it and I have thick hair so it's big, but it was for a good cause and I don't regret it.
Don't mind me, just spending a quiet evening with Emma, looking at bath bombs and body melts :)
also feel for you with short hair struggles! cut hair for charity twice and the excitement when I could put it up was unreal!
I know it's almost Christmas when Emma posts this video!!! Love her honest and accurate reviews!
omg I just got back from my lush trip to get all my festive things and I feel so much inner happiness haha.
I love these videos because I have super sensitive skin and can't use scented products (i.e. anything from lush) so I live through this! love it
EMMA ITS 1AM AND I LEFT MY HONEYTRAP LIP BALM IN THE LIVING-ROOM IF I DIE GOING TO GET IT I BLAME U ENTIRELY
This is my favourite comment on TH-cam
Hannah Miller thank. I didn't die btw so that's good😂
i literally screenshotted this comment its that amazing
Its a trap
40 MINUTES YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM RIGJT NOW
I can't help but notice how much you would suit short, straight black hair with bangs. Like Jessie j, basically. OMG! It would be so cool especially with red lipstick

I have one of the pumpkin ones and it actually has a really strong citrus smell to me, which I actually love
I actually love the shower creams! I think it may be to do with it not lathering as much, it feels so moisturising!
"There's nothing i would like more, than a candle lit dinner, with one of my favourite hot wrestlers, and them just rubbing this, all over my body"
FANFIC INCOMING!
They've actually changed the design of northern lights so that they don't snap as easily as they used to. The long design was very breakable and difficult but the new design helps with that. Also no it doesn't sink, I've tried and it's GORGEOUS!!

40 MINUTES OF EMMA!!!! IM READY!!!!
I'm so glad you're still doing this video because I rely on them for my xmas lush haul!
I bought the Goth Fairy shimmer bar from Lush (because the man at the Liverpool lush sold it to me so well) and it's my favourite thing in the universe. I'm not gonna lie. The pumpkin bath bomb smells great, but I haven't used it, I want to keep it forever it's beautiful.

Yo Emma video on point I love vloggery I get to know and feel calm and happy and ur so relatable icec
i've been growing my hair out and i got my hair into a pony tail without pins a few weeks ago and it was actually the best feeling ever
last year i bought the little bottle of snow fairy and loved it so much and then went out and bought the 1k bottle, (which had a broken lid) then my nan bought me the regular bottle for christmas and THEN my friend bought me the christmas gift box which had ANOTHER BOTTLE OF SNOW FAIRY IN IT!!

Emma, you beautiful person. I love your hauls and how honest you are about the products.

OMG I'm so excited 40 minutes full of lush madness by emma 😍😍🎉 I need to get my hands on most of these (and yes I haven't even started watching this video hahaha)

I LOVE the Magic of Christmas bubble wand on the cinnamon stick with the bell. It's so lovely and lasts for many baths.
I can see myself buying a lot from the Christmas line. The Jester is totally adorable. 🤗💞
No Yog Nog soap????? That was fantastic!! Definitely a stand out.
Totally agreed that Golden Wonder is massively addictive. Love it! So fun and surprising.
It reminds me of Haruhi Suzumiya's ponytail... It's adorable!
I mass buy the So White and have never had a problem keeping them in a tub! I use them way into august!
I bought a autumn leaf and I use it the day I bought it and it foamed. I had four monsters balls and they were all crumbling so there is definitely something wrong with the mixer for monsters ball
lol i got a bath bomb last year for my birthday and i still haven't used it oops (my birthday is next week!!)
my b day is next week to mine is on Monday
ay nice mine's on friday!
awesome😛
mine's the monday after haha
It was my birthday on Tuesday! Happy prebirthday haha!
I feel like all of the Halloween bath bombs this year are off and super crumbly. All of the ones in my shop anyway, and they even seem crumbly in the pictures.

Magic of Christmas is my favorite lush product ever! Nutty and orangey mmmmm
These videos relax me so much
I have never tried any lush products, but I think I will try them out this year. Perfect for a stressful semester! Haha :) Love you Emma, and love this channel!
Golder Wonder! My love, how I've missed thee
I hate the shower creams too! They changed my favourite shower gel (prince charming) to a cream last valentines and I was so sad. The gel has a much nicer texture and feel in my opinion and lathers up better.
I actually love it when bath bombs foam
sprinkle some of the fairy dust on your sheets before bed. or any of the dusting powders really but fairy dust is my favourite for it.
omg this reminds me of lazy little me 😄
Omg yea!! I had forgotten about that channel!
little note as a former employee: i loved the yog nog bath bomb so much, but i can tell that it really wasn't selling well, and i knew already by the time december came that they wouldn't have brought it back. people thought the smell of the bath bomb was a bit more medicinal than the warm soap smell, and at the same time, the prospect of yellow water puts off tons of people.
"Maybe I'll make a makeup tutorial using bath bombs" .... would anyone actually like to see that apart from me love you Emma xx
Well, after just coming back from a interview for a lush job, I've come to watch this. I think I might be having lush overload 😝
You should get the bathbomb intergalactic because it turns the water a dark blue with fine glitter throughout it
So White shower gel was on the kitchen a few weeks ago!!!
