SWEET TREAT

Plus details on the one product that staff at one of Lush's Glasgow stores ranked as their favourite
LUSH is famous for its luxurious skincare and haircare products as well as its incredible bath bombs and shower gels.
When it comes to making baths and showers an indulgent experience, the high street beauty chain is known as the place to go.

And their special, limited edition products always knock it out of the park.
But to really put it to the test, I tried a handful of their new incredible Valentine's Day creations. Specifically, a few products from the deliciously sweet chocolate range.
The bag of treats included Posh Chocolate Body Scrub, Posh White Chocolate and Rose Body Wash, and Posh Chocolate Shower Gel.
After trying them all over the course of a few days, I found that one product left my skin silky smooth while another was super hydrating - but they all smelled absolutely delicious.

Posh Chocolate Body Scrub - £12
Everyone loves the heavenly scent of chocolate, and this Valentine's Day Lush is going all out to add it to their already impressive product list.
One of these new items is the moisturising, exfoliating body scrub that leaves the skin feeling super hydrated.
I do love a good body scrub from Lush - they're among my favourite products to pick up - but this one is super rich and indulgent.
And what makes it different from other body scrubs is that its ingredients include caster sugar, which is what gently exfoliates and draws moisture into the skin.

It also has a creamy blend of cocoa powder, illipe, cocoa and mango butters, but it's the sugar that gives a firm marshmallowy texture.
Honestly, it feels a little bit like a super soft brownie when you open it and scoop it out - and it smells so delicious and rich that you'll almost want to eat it.
I tried a mix of Lush's classic & limited edition products - a face scrub is a game changer for dry skin
As you scoop it out and smooth it over your skin, the warm water from your shower or bath helps disperse the sugar particles and the gorgeous butters melt across your skin as it does.
I loved this product, and I felt that the rich smell lasted on my skin all day afterwards. Just be careful you don't use too much because it is so rich and you don't want it to be overwhelming!

Posh White Chocolate and Rose Body Wash - £11
With this body wash, experts at Lush have created a product that is a classic Valentine's Day pairing of chocolate and roses.
While it doesn't smell like your classic chocolatey scent, it is absolutely gorgeous with notes of rose, coconut and vanilla.
It is packed with aloe vera and glycerine which softens and hydrates delicate skin, leaving it silky smooth after using it.
It also has a soothing touch of cocoa butter which nourishes and conditions the skin.
It also bubbles up nicely and smells amazing in the bathroom even if you just take the lid off it.
Out of the three products, this one was my favourite - I loved how soft and buttery it was and how effortlessly it covered my skin.
I know this is a limited edition product, but I would absolutely buy this year-round.
And I hope in the future the team release a matching body lotion od mist/spray to pair with it - it just leaves me wanting more!

STAFF FAVOURITE
A LUSH insider has revealed that the Cherry Pop shower gel is one of the favourite products among staff at the Glasgow store.
Those who work in the shop on Buchanan Street in the city centre love this product, which smells deliciously sweet.
It is a cherryade hit of nostalgia for those who love to reminisce about nights at carnivals with Ferris wheels, jukebox serenades and drive-in dates.
One thing that makes this shower gel a standout is that it actually changes colour.
While it wasn't deliberately created to do this, green transforms into cherry-red at different points as you use it.
All you need to do is trust the process and embrace surprise!
It is also loved because it is packed with vitamins A, B, C and E, which have a brightening and toning effect on the skin.
While the zippy lime oil leaves you feeling bubbly and light as air.
Posh Chocolate Shower Gel - £9
Lush's shower gels are always super indulgent - and this one is no different.
It is a true feat for the senses with notes of rich, cleansing hazelnut milk mixed with sweet cocoa powder, and warm and comforting vanilla.
It's the perfect gift for chocolate lovers this Valentine's with this rich shower gel leaving a delicious scent on the skin that lasts for hours.
What makes it different from the other chocolate products, however, is that it has notes of nuts through it.
To create this shower gel, the experts steeped ground toasted hazelnuts in water to create a sweet, soothing milk to care for your skin.
It also has cocoa powder which gives the gel its silky texture that softens the skin, while the glycerine hydrates it.
I did enjoy this product, it was like pouring melted chocolate over the skin and watching it bubble.

But similar to the body scrub, be careful not to use too much because it is super-rich!
