I couldn’t resist just one early xmas Lush product – yes, I know it’s only October! But they’re there, in the shop, and people have been raving about the Cinders ballistic already!

And with good cause – it was fabulous! To me, it smelled like warm buttery toffee with a cinnamon kick – like a Ma Bar with added spice. Yum! The actual ingredients include orange, which helps with that warming feel.

Oh, and it brings its own entertainment! The ‘topping’ this time is popping candy. At first I thought mine was defective, but it takes a minute for the stuff to get going – not exactly relaxing, but quite funny listening to it pop and fizz against the bath for a few minutes!

The only possible complaint I can see is the vaguely fluorescent lemon-yellow colour the bathwater (and tide mark!) turns. However, the water is lovely and silky, as was my skin, and that gorgeous, gorgeous smell is still lingering the morning after!

Definitely a good – if abominably early! ;) – start to the fesitive season :)
