On Saturday I had the privilege of going to yet another Lush blogger event in Tunbridge Wells. This time was to celebrate the launch of their Christmas range. As I have been to previous events before, I had a rough idea of how the night would go. As I loved the events in the past, I invited my friend Lianne, who is a YouTuber- LiaRose, as I knew she'd love the events just as much as I have previously.
As we were walking down to Lush, I saw Courtney- sberrydream who I have met at both the previous events. It was so nice to see a familiar face as it helps make the event less daunting. We walked up to her and I introduced Lianne and Courtney to each other. There were a lot of familiar faces I saw- Clarice from clarice_is_in_wonderland and Jen from tabbycatcollars (although I didn't get to say hi.. Hi Jen!) As soon as they unlocked the doors to let us in, my heart started racing with excitement!
After we had been shown the bath bombs and bubble bars, we were shown their body conditioners. This product is amazing! it's exactly the same as a conditioner for your hair, except you use it on your body to give you super soft skin. We were first shown ... and it smelt incredible! I loved the pink colour and the iridescent sheen it had to it, just made it all that more perfect! I will be picking this product up when I next go to Lush! We were also shown sleepy but didn't get to try this out. They also let us try out fairy dust which left the skin feeling soft and a slight sparkle.
When it was time to swap over, we were taken upstairs in the store. Tunbridge Wells are one of the few stores which has an area to host parties or events while the store is still open. When we got upstairs, we gathered round a table and were told we were going to be making the Ruby Slipper. All the ingredients were placed into a bowl and mixed together- it looked a lot like pink bread! As there was glitter left over from the other groups, it was added to our mixture to make it extra glittery! We were told that the mould for the slipper shape was clinging onto the mixture for dear life, so could make any shape we wanted- I opted for a heart.
Once we had finished decorating our bubble bars, I gobbled down 2 mince pies- its early I know, but they looked so good and I couldn't resist myself! While we were all eating cake and mince pies, I got talking to Nella from ringonthedoorbell I was mentioning that I had been to the previous two events and she said she had been to the first one, so it was good to meet people I hadn't had the chance to speak too in the other events!
We all went back downstairs and I was talking to Bronwen about one of the products they sell. It's a face powder which is completely translucent and great for oily skin. I had to get this product and I picked up an eye cream and their highlighter too. After I had taken a few more pictures and paid for my items, I was given a goodie bag with a little gift inside. I was saying goodbye and Seb mentioned that the next even will probably be a Lush party which I'm looking forward too!
I had an amazing time as I have done in the past and I'm so thankful that my blog gets me opportunities like this. I cannot wait to attend more blogger events in the future!

We were divided into 2 groups- 1 group made products while the others were shown the products, and then we swapped. I was in the group which were shown the products and it was amazing. All the smells and colours were unreal. First we were shown luxury lush pud which left amazing colours in the water. It had that Christmas smell, I can't describe it, it just smelt like Christmas in a bath bomb! After we were shown shoot for the stars- I was lucky enough to be given one of these in my goody bag which I'm super excited to try! The blue colour was amazing and it smelt like an orange earl grey, weird way of describing it, but it contains orange and bergamot oil.
