Mum Tulip: I was wrong

*I just wanted to put it out there that now I'm thinking at the fact that these lush wands were 'Mothers Day editions' and they were for me but only because my mother isn't a fan of bubble baths as much as me, so I did get my mother flowers one thing she does love haha just had to get that out there* :) 

Mum Tulip

So can someone give me a smack on the hand... 
AMAZING Lush Mum Tulip Bath Wand 


You know what it must have been the rush of excitement because to be honest even though I did not run the wand under the tap I did however, swirl in the bath tub like the lady had shown me in the store... but again it does say on the website to run it under the tap a few seconds. I was so amazed that I was actually trying to force my mum into having a bubble bath. It was also because of the fact that I did find a few reviews  on these wands that had also said similar things to what I first thought about the wands. So all in all, there amazing!! I'm sorry if I gave anyone the wrong impression but hey it was the truth and to be fair I didn't give up on them haha. 

Next bubble bath I will use the Madame Butterfly as I just wanted to truly enjoy and experience the Mum Tulip Wand. 

So many bubbles, so much colour, an overwhelming smell and still that great soft silky feel on my skin (lasted like 30-45 minutes)

Only downfall was the fact that I can't see myself getting more than 5 uses out of the wand because the wand shown in the picture has been used two times (but the second time I used it I think I got carried away with the excitement of the fact that the wand worked like magic so I kept and kept swirling it around and under the tap :O

Happiness is taking a long, hot bubble bath ...

Got a crush on Lush  
Right to left: Madame Butterfly and Mum Tulip

Whilst visiting my boyfriend at University I decided to go Lush shopping with him because I knew he'd enjoy that as its not as repetitive as clothe's shopping. Bare in mind it was my first time and to be honest with you it wasn't great because I'm one of those people that don't like being bombarded with staff hovering and asking and talking to you whilst you try to enjoy shopping. As much as they are only trying to be nice I know but I just like to shop in peace and if I need help I never hesitate to ask... So anyway the whole time we was in there they literally did not stop talking to us which ruined the first time experience a little but maybe it was because we was like the only customers in there at the time and it was near to closing. I knew I definitely wanted to pick up a wand after missing out on the Christmas Magic wand bubble bar so their new limited editions were the mothers day 'The Mum', 'Mum Tulip' and 'Madame Butterfly' wands. The lady even demonstrated them and I wasn't going to say no but I wasn't keen on the 'Mum' wand so I also wanted to pick up a bath bomb which I couldn't choose between the 'Creamy Candy' and 'Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment' bubbles bar's.

Flush that Lush




It was only till I got home and tried them out that I have never been so disappointed. Honestly I don't know whether it was just me (I think it was me) and the fact that I swished it around in the bath once the water had stopped running but it did absolutely nothing in terms of colour, smell or foam although there was ONE highlight of the whole experience...the rose oils. I could feel the oils on my skin soaking in which was lovely.  

It was odd to think that the overpowering smell you get just it being inside the packaging just didn't come through in the water. I was so gutted after waiting such a long time to buy Lush products and then to wait even longer to bring them home from my boyfriends place. 

After swirling in Mum Tulip as well it did show somewhat colour and a sense of fragrance but it still didn't look like the demonstration shown at the shop. I think the Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment was ruined because I just crumbled it in the bath to save myself having a disappointing bubble bath which just got worse as that didn't work either. (I should have known better as its been said and shown that you should run in directly under the tap whilst running your bath so I won't repurchase the same one but I will get the Creamy Candy Bar this time and hopefully do it right and my bath will be full of lushness! 


"Simply turn on your bath taps and swish it around in the water for a few seconds – or until you’ve got enough bubbles in your tub. Then pop it on the side to use another time - these look particularly nice in a vase on the side. It goes rock hard until you’re ready to use it again – how many baths will you get out of it? Here’s the important part – before you get in, make sure you have a watering can or jug to hand. Then once you’ve finished wallowing in the lovely waters, you can dip your jug into the bath, scoop up some of that nutrient filled water and water all your plants around the house and garden (just remember to put a dressing gown on first if you go outside!)"  Lush.co.uk
