I'm very late on the bandwagon for the Lush Halloween range, so much so that I only managed to pick up three items one of which I've had before and the other two not in the best condition. However I did pick up a new product and also wanted to share my first impressions with you, so here's what I bought.

Lifestyle - What Halloween Means To Me
I've always been very open about being Pagan and following the Wiccan religion but I've never really done a blog post on the subject and wanted to share one with you today. Samhain is one of my favorite Sabbats (a festival ) which is also know as Halloween or All Hallows Eve, the reason being this is because I've always love Autumn but also love the paranormal side of things. Samhain is the end of harvest and also a festival to celebrate the dead, since I was a child I've been able to sense and know when someone not living is in the room so when I heard about celebrating the death of someone I was drawn to the sabbat almost straight away.
Lush Christmas and Halloween Haul
I couldn't wait to get my hands on some of the Christmas range from Lush so while I was working in Birmingham I went into there branch to pick up a few bits but may of ended up with most of the range!
Northern Lights - £3.50
This floral scented bath bomb looks rather grand and I can't wait to try it out, it has adorable little stars stuck on and is in an impressive purple long stick shape. It's part of the Halloween range but it's more for Bonfire night.
Sparkler - £3.50
It looks like Northern Lights as it has the same shape but the scent is more of a sweet scent as it's the same as Rose Jam, it's a colourful yellow with bit's of popping candy in which I can't wait for. Again it's in the Halloween range but it's meant for Bonfire night.
Wizard - £3.25
It's going to be herd to crumble this little hat up as mine looks rather sad, I'm not sure what it's suppose to be but I'm guessing it's a hat! It has lovely citrus scent's and I can't wait to give this little bubble bar a go.
Sparkly Pumpkin - £3.50
This is a very sweet scented bubble bar which looks lovely, it's extremely glittery and smalls incredible. It's the last from the Halloween range that I brought but I could easily use this bubble bar all year round!
Snow Angel - £3.95
This bath melt looks divine and has the nicest hint of floral about it, it melts straight away when you pick it up and has such nice ingredients in , I can't wait to give it a whirl.
The Christmas Hedgehog - £3.25
It's suppose to be a bubble bar but feels much more like a bath melt as it melts in the hands when picking up, it has slight citrus scents about it and looks adorable, I'm not sure I can crumble this little one under the tap!
Dashing Santa - £2.95
This one did make me laugh in the shop it looks so cute and funny! It's my favorite scent of citrus and orange which made me adore it even more. It's a great price and I feel its more for the kids but there's no way I'm giving it to my brother, it's all mine!! =]
Snow Fairy - £7.50
Of course I picked up a bottle of Snow Fairy, the best way to describe it would be as if someone was making bubblegum and accidentally added to much sugar! It's pink and glittery and the scent is so strong and overpowering that it lasts all day on the skin, I adore it!
What product are you most looking forward to trying out this Christmas?

Happy Halloween!
My favorite holiday and season is Halloween and October, I always love being cold and snuggly just before it gets to cold to function and I adore the scents, fashion and food in October. This Halloween I had the day of work and was able to go all out! Well make cakes, carve a pumpkin and watch horror films.
Carving the Pumpkin
I was joined by my little brother to carve this year's rather large pumpkin, we did cats eye's and a traditional mouth and nose. My favorite smell ever is fresh pumpkin I love the scent but can never find any candles that have the same scent!
Spooky Cupcakes!
I love to bake and making cupcakes is easy and fun to do, I made chocolate ones as I had some cocoa I needed to use up and then I added some spooky faces using icing sugar and red coloring, I added to much colouring though so I ended up getting a really rich looking red which looked a lot like blood!
Halloween films
Of course I watched the original Halloween, as well as the Rob Zombie remake's. I then watched IT, The Inn Keepers and Trick or Treat. I'm a massive horror fan and on Halloween I tend to watch as many horror films as possible. There's nothing better then snuggling down and watching some spooky films!
Watch out for tomorrow's post all about going out and dressing up!

Lush Halloween Goodies!
I could not resist the Halloween Bath products in Lush and brought Pumpkin, Soot Ball and Lord Of Misrule which were all around the £3 mark. The three products were available in store and online but are currently out of stock =[ boo! But here is my review!
Pumpkin
This little Bubble Bar was adorable and I almost felt bad crumbling him under the hot water but he turned out to be a fantastic buy. The scent was my favorite ever scent orange but it wasn't to citrusy and it also had added ylang ylang oil which I think made it a nice mild orange scent. The bath turned a lovely orange colour and there were loads of bubbles! I adored this bubble bar and can't wait till next Halloween to buy a few more.
Soot Ball
This product was a little odd, I knew it was covered in black but underneath it looked like orange was coming through but once placed into my bath I had a tub full of black water and a little shimmer of orange. It also had quite a nice scent to it and left me covered in glitter after. So atm I'm abit hit and miss with this bath bomb!
Lord of Misrule
My favorite of the three I picked out! It looked a little odd like it wasn't meant to be apart of the Halloween range as it had an impressive aqua colour to it but once placed into my bath is started to fizz out a dark deep red, it fizzed for around 3 minutes before I started to hear the wonderful sounds of popping candy! The scent is an odd one at first it just smelt of soap and the usual Lush scent but then I could smell a citrus scent to it. I love this bath bomb and wish it wasn't just a Halloween special!
So that's its for Halloween bath treats but watch out for tomorrows spooktastic going out post!
