Review: LUSH Honey Gift Box

Living by the "treat yo'self" mentality, I always make sure to order myself lots of goodies each time payday comes around. This month's spoils were in the form of a lovely LUSH haul, which included the newly-released Honey gift box.

Strangely enough, I actually hate honey. I can vaguely remember my grandpa giving me a spoonful of honey when I was younger to cure a cold, and immediately being sick. I haven't had it since, but after playing with the Scrubee body butter at the Mother's Day launch event and adoring the sweet scent of it, I added the Honey gift box to my basket when I spotted it online this payday.



Another reason I actually chose the Honey gift box was for the Honey I Washed The Kids soap it contained. I've broken out really badly on my chin recently and as honey is a natural antiseptic, I felt it would be perfect to clear my skin up a little. Plus the honeycomb pattern is super cute, but more on that later on.

Onto the actual review, I just have to talk about the gorgeous packaging. The outer box has a shell pink lid embossed with a gold foil bee and a peach interior, with a gold foil honeycomb print exterior to match. I will definitely be keeping (ha, bee keeping, so punny) the hexagonal shaped gift box to keep trinkets in after I've used the contents up. So... What's in the box itself?

Honey I Washed The Kids soap

You know I mentioned the beautiful honeycomb pattern on this soap? Well er, mine arrived without it. But that's ok! Maybe I got a piece from the middle of the larger soap? If it was something a little more photogenic than soap I would be a little miffed, but... it's soap, so I'll let it slip (I am on fire with these puns.)

Holy hell, this soap smells incredible. A creamy, caramel and honey scent which lingers daintily on the skin after use. It lathers really creamily and the natural antiseptic in the soap has cleared my skin up a treat.

Scrubee body butter

They made it a permanent product! Scrubee first came out with the Mother's Day range and sold out far too quickly for me to buy it at the time, never to be seen again. Sike. LUSH have now made this beauty little body butter a permanent addition to their range of solid body butters, and I'm so happy it was included in this lovely gift box.

I took Scrubee on holiday with me and it was absolutely amazing on my sunburn! It feels a little greasier than a butter, more of a solid lotion, and smells incredible.

It's  Raining Men shower gel

This is going to sound so strange, but the sweet, warm smell reminds me of our two guinea pigs. I feel so dim writing that, but it smells like fluffy fur and hay, it's lovely!

I will definitely be buying a larger version of this shower gel as it got pretty much used up on holiday - nobody else can resist the allure of Guniea-pig scented shower gel...

Honey lip scrub

My third ever lip scrub (I also own Bubblegum & Chocolate) and I think this may be my favourite of the three. When first applied it is overwhelming honey flavoured, which I *almost* don't like, but then it instantly becomes a sweet mint taste.

This gift box retails for £24.95 and is available online, and in store. It's overall a lovely selection of four products I wouldn't have ever thought to buy separately, and it's so nice to be introduced to some new scents.
