REVIEW | Lush Cosmetics FUN



Hello my loves! Excuse the late night post but such is the consequence of a pretty late night bath. Now, if you're at all familiar with me on a personal level or just the right amount through trawling through my blog, you'll know that me and Lush Cosmetics are bezzies. I mean I literally go in to my favourite store in Manchester and they know me. My bad. So, it may come as a surprise to many of you that there are infact a couple of products that I so far don't actually love. I present to you a full review of the first - FUN.

FUN is described as a multi-purpose product that you can do almost anything with - wash your body, your clothes, use it as a bubble bath...you name it. I've so far only used it for two of these things and as you can guess those are for body and bath. As a body wash, FUN lathers fantastically and this would honestly last you so unbelievably long if this is all you ever used it for. I simply rubbed the product on my sponge or scrunchy until it lathered and voila. However, as a bubble bath, I found the many faults of FUN....


As you can see by the image above, there are bubbles aplenty. This wasn't the issue for me. I have the same issue with FUN as I do for all of the other bubble bars I've tried - the bubbles disappear as quickly as they arrive! I don't use baths for cleaning so much, I really just sit with a magazine or book for half an hour or so and I'm out, so I don't think it's to do with me moving around and disturbing them. The bubble bars tend to do the same for me and I've tried a fair amount of those. I'm unsure what the issue could be, I've even tried different methods of distributing product into the bath but to no avail. 


The final issue I have with FUN is just how messy the packaging gets - I don't find it practical at all. It looks lovely when first bought but as you can imagine after using it in the bath and shower is really doesn't stay this way. Perhaps a little pot would be a better idea, I don't know, I'm just not a fan of the way this product comes. 

I'm not by any means at all discouraging people from buying FUN - if you've found your Lush bubbles last fine then it is an absolutely fantastic buy and great value for money. You can get five or six baths with this when using a generous amount of product and if you've found a way to be stingy with it you can get even more. I may even buy FUN again myself and use it purely as a body wash. The pink one smells absolutely divine, much like vanilla and sweet treats, but my next calling would probably be orange. For a nice little price of a fiver, if baths are your thing then I definitely suggest you at least go take a look!

Don't forget I also have a Facebook page where I'll be hosting an EXCLUSIVE giveaway after Christmas!

    1. Yeah that was why it was such an issue for me! I love to lay my products out all nice where I can view them and such, but this just ended up looking awful

  2. Ah it looks so cute, but I couldn't cope with that messy packaging - it would just get everywhere! They haven't thought it through, have they?! xx

    1. It really doesn't seem like they have at all! Like I said, would probably work so much better in a little pot like that putty stuff from childhood, may work out a little more expensive that way but for the amount of use you'd get out of it it'd still be well worth the pennies!

  4. I hear you can wash your hair with it too?! Didn't know you could clean clothes with it,that's amazing-would make for light packing on holidays! Shame about the mess & the bubbles going though :/ I think I'll still give it a try at some point,I do like lush bath products & the scent sounds amazing :)
    Great review :D L xo

    1. Ohhh I must've read over the hair part! It does smell lovely and it is really very nourishing on the skin, but the packaging and bubbles soooort of put me off! I think I'll get one for washing purposes though!

  5. This is actually the first review I've read about Fun. It's a shame you're disappointed. I'm a big fan of Lush and I've eyed this up a few times but never purchased. I love the bubble bars however and just crumble a little of them each time as I'm not a fan of loads of bubbles, so perhaps Fun would be for me!

    1. It's only the bubble bath purpose I didn't get along with so well, but if you don't like having a mass amount of bubbles then this could well be a good product for you to try! I'm still buying it again as it's so good for body washing purposes
