The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 17 May 2017 6 Comments

Lush's Violet Nights Bath Oil has been around for years, and last had a full scale release (that I know of) in 2014. I want it for the name and the color, but it sounds darned good too: "Bask in enchanting baths of sweetly fragrant violet leaf and mystical sandalwood oil. This deep purple bath oil filled with conditioning soya oil provides creamy comfort that leaves skin soft and minds serene. Clouds of cassie oil cast a blackcurranty spell over your mood - sweetly uplifting and nostalgic, while rich Fair Trade vanilla from western Uganda adds exotic notes to the fairytale perfume." Possibly my mood could use a bit of a blackcurranty spell, but unfortunately it's only at the UK Lush Kitchen, where it's about £14 for 245g. (And for anyone else needing a laugh today, they've also got a fresh cleanser called "German Sausage" being sold under the tag line "what's the wurst that could happen?")
