So I really missed it as I didn't bring any Lush here...
Thank God then for the one retail outlet in Dubai - Deira City Centre mall.
I dragged boyfriend across town to go to Lush on our day off. Yes I did.
The shop is small but well-stocked and I went straight for the gift boxes.
I like these for trying out various products - you get exposed to items you might not otherwise pick up. I got the Happy Box - I think because I liked the smiley wrapping paper but I also liked the sound of the contents:
Goodie bag time
Because I spent over a certain amount I was allowed to pick one random bag from a basket - a lucky dip if you will.
The contents were pretty darn good:
* Amandopondo bubble bar
* Dream time temple balm; and
* Chocs Away soap
Can I just say that I never understood the oohs and aaahs over Lush soap.
For me it didn't lather and just didn't see the point.
Well now I get it. I wet the soap, rub it against my shower sponge and....low and behold - we have bubbles! Plus it smells gorgeous.
So on my next trip I will dip my toe into the world of soap...whilst I won't be doing any 'soap haul' videos of my own in the near future I now get why other people are so enthusiastic about it :)

I love Lush - it always makes me happy :) Can you let us know what the Temple Balm is like please?My ME gives me terrible insomnia and I have always liked the sound of this xx
I bought some things for the first time last week, the let them eat cake lipbalm is lovely, it smells just like christmas in a tin x
the face masks are really worth trying :) i also got two tabs called vitamine E and C, you steam your face with these but yet to try!
have fun with all your lush goodies! x
LUSH has some seriously amazing stuff. their soaps smell incredible and just look so good!
love love LOVEEE lush! i've been obsessed since i got a box for my birthday, they smell so so dreamy!
omg i am so happy u now like lush i am a lusy i adore it i want 2 recomend a product 2 u try the rockstar soap and the christmas snowcake soap u adore them
I have a love/hate relationship with Lush. At times I can't get enough. Other times I think everything smells weird. Would love to see a review of things you love and hate!
Lush is still yet to convince, but mamaaaa may be getting some of the bath bombs for christmas.
xoxox
Yey Lush! I've started a real addiction on it a while ago!
The downside is that I dont get all the free stuff everybody always talks about... :(
still worth it though :)
I love the bath bombs from lush and the gift packages are so nice for christmas presents.
My mum got the 'happy gift set' the other week from a friend at work so I tried out some of the stuff. Not keen on either of the soaps and the shower jelly is quite nice. But OMG 'the olive branch' shower gel is gorrgeeeous. I think it must be the olive oil or somthing in it but it leaves your skin sooo smooth and soft!
:)
i heart lush bath ballistics and jellies but otherwise wait until boxing day to 'get it' in humongous grab bag portions! all the awesome snow fairy and sparkly festive soap etc --for super-duper cheap!
I loooove LUSH. I miss working for them so much it was amazing. I'm glad Dubai has a store for you to re-start your addiction!
xoxo
I love Lush!!! Lik you say it makes bathtime fun. My fave soap is Rock Star, you need to try it out! x
Yay! I'm so glad that you're pleased qith their soap products now. Their soaps were my first addiction & now I'm obsessed with bubble bars & hand moisturizers :)
Nice haul!
Lush soaps are great if you use them with a loofah, sponge etc. Some aren't moisturising enough for me, but a few have pleasantly surprised me. Amandapondo is the most awesome bubble bar - it smells like Turkish Delight and the foam is thick and creamy enough to wash with. Enjoy!
I highly recommend joining the forum on the Lush website. You get to hear about forum-only special products and offers.
Don't forget Rockstar soap! It's.. well, Lush!
It would be great to know what you think of the products once you've had a chance to try them out.
Your youtube and blog are my absolute favourites and have been for the last year or so - I'm always super happy when you update :)

I love lush products, i have just reviewed 'the comforter' bubble bar!
Your box of goodies looks amazing, have fun with them!
<3 xox
I bought Snow Fairy solid perfume and shower gel yesterday and i'm unhealthily obsessed. If you want to smell like pick and mix this is amazing! xxx
whenever i read Lush posts i automatically crave a shopping spree! the happy box seems very tempting! x
If you haven't tried it, you should get 'I Should Coco' by Lush. It's a soap with coconut flakes in it, and it smells wonderfully girly, and really moisturizes, as well as leaving a lovely scent on your skin. Trust me, you will love it :) x
I love Lush!
The sandstone soap is lovely, it has a real citrus scent and leaves my skin feeling so soft and clean, it lathers up really well too.
The cupcake face mask is also pretty amazing :)
I have an award for you on my blog! :)

ha ha you know I pass a Lush store everyday on the way to work.. I've never understood why everyone loves it so much! The smell in there gives me a headache.. One day I'll get brave enough to go in and try something.. maybe if I hold my nose!
i don't get why lush is amazing either. i bought a soap and didn't find it that special..just a waste of money :/
oh well, i'll try it out again!
I personally have never dared to enter any Lush shop. They smell so strong. The stuff that I have been given as present is nice, but the shop smell puts me off buying anything myself. I just cannot force myself into it.
Similar effect is with Cath Kidson shops. I love the individual flowery products, but all of them in the same place just put you off. Too much.
You've been awarded a "Lovely blog award" from me :) Congratulations! Check out my blog! x
Ive yet to get into the whole Lush thing. I didnt find anything particularly amazing about the soap i bought. I may give it another go... :)
LUSH is so great! After receiving your recommendation of The Comforter Bubble Bar, which featured in one of your Lush videos a while ago, I decided to branch out from their soaps & try the bath products. What I have started doing is crumbing them into small pieces & adding them to hot water to soften my cuticles as the first step of an at-home manicure. It just helps to add a little luxury to the nail painting process! p.s. those goodies look amazing!
I love Lush, only their body products. I try their face stuff but nothing seems to work for me! But i really love and enjoy their soaps!! =))
nice haul! I've never tried lush, walking in to the store makes me dizzy, maybe I'll just order some online...
Whoosh shower gelly is one of my favorite tings ever, haha! <3
I love the consistency and the smell is just so fresh and lovely in the morning :)
I wish we had a LUSH in Denmark but we don't, so I have to order everything online :(
