One of those brands I've seen and heard beauty bloggers and editors rave about for months and months now is Zoella Beauty. I am clearly way behind as I had not had a chance to try out any of the products, so when a parcel with some of the products from the newest range, Zoella Jelly & Gelato landed on my desk, I couldn't help but get very excited. Also as it was without a doubt the cutest PR delivery that I've received in a very long time... I mean, just how adorable is that little deck chair, and the card with the pop out ice cream van, and of course those adorable pasted coloured products!
Not heard of Zoella before, don't worry, it took me a while to catch you too. But in short, she's considered internet royalty as a UK beauty blogger having over 11 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, and so popular that she apparently has been named the most powerful beauty vlogger by Forbes Magazine!! In addition, she has also written several books, has a lifestyle range and a beauty range... Oh, and her very own waxwork in Madame Tussauds. Her newest range is called Jelly and Gelato, and these are the products I've been putting to the test;
- Zoella Shower Sauce Body Wash
- Zoella Shower Shake Moisturising Body Wash
- Zoella Pink Bath Wafers Moisturising Bath Fizzer
- Zoella Gelat'Eau Body Mist
But I didn't even need to open the products to smell their gorgeous scent, as their fresh fruity and slightly sweet scent immediately filled my whole family room. The range features notes of elderflower, pomegranate and double cream. Just divine, and along with the cute pastel pink, and retro looking packaging, these products really are super cute and girlie, and also the perfect products to give you that summery feel.
The Zoella Shower Sauce Body Wash that has a slightly runny jelly consistency, in a transparent pink colour. You're are to drizzle it over your body, like you would drizzle sauce over your ice cream and gelato, and lather it up, before rinsing it up. It has a lovely soft lather and gently cleanses the skin without drying it out, leaving it soft and with the gorgeous scent lingering behind. It does not appear to have any additional moistursing benefits, and I do feel I need to apply a moisturiser afterwards on my winter dry skin.
But my favourite scented body wash would have to be the Zoella Shower Shake Moisturising Body Wash, which has the same scent, but which is a creamy moisturising wash. It lathers up to a soft foam and smells just gorgeous, and leaves the skin feeling soft and with beautiful scent lingering on the skin. And you of course cannot help by fall in love with the cute which is made to look like a glass of milkshake complete with a straw. Just too gorgeous.
Then there's the Zoella Pink Bath Wafers Moisturising Bath Fizzer, which I have to be honest and admit that I am yet to try, basically as I simply have not had the time with two sick little kids to take a bath! But these are like a moisturising bath bomb, only they are designed to look like a cute ice cream wafer, and rumour has it that they turn your bath water a gorgeous pink colour and makes it smell so divine. I so need to find time for a bath, pronto!
Finally, there's the Zoella Gelat'Eau Body Mist, which comes in such a beautiful bottle with its pastel coloured design. Like the rest of the range, it has notes of elderflower and fruity pomegranate, and it is just such as fresh and fruity and slightly sweet scent that is absolutely perfect for spring and summer, yet without being too sweet or overpowering. Just the perfect scent to use as an everyday scent. It is a body mist, which tends to meant that it wears off rather quickly, but surprisingly this one seems to last for quite a while on the skin. The perfect scent if you'd like to wear a perfume, but still want something subtle, I therefore also feel that its perfectly suited to younger teenagers. Oh and cute is the name, Gelat'Eau, such a clever play on words.

Yummy Mummy Body Conditioner
This body conditioner is intended to be used in the shower after using shower gel. You simply smooth it over your body, and then rinse off, and afterwards you are left with the softest smoothest skin. The Body Conditioner contains blended fresh strawberry juice with murumuru and Fair Trade Organic cocoa butter to leave the skin deeply nourished. Personally I find it has a slightly odd scent, and I’d like it to smell a little more of strawberries, however, the results are well worth it, and it’s the perfect product when you are in a hurry, as it saves you having to apply body lotion once out of the shower.

If you want to treat yourself or a friend to a healthier option this Easter, why not check out Lush’s limited edition Easter Treats. These treats are made with ethically sourced ingredients, and made locally by hand.
Lush Golden Egg
I have to admit that I am yet to have a bath and use any of the bath bomb melts mentioned. We have a very small bath, which is very low too, and there is no way I’m going to try to get my almost 32 week pregnant body in and out of that, so trialling out these goodies will have to wait until I’ve given birth, and we’ve moved into our new house in a few month’s time. I couldn’t think of any better way to christen out new bath either!
This golden egg contains has a sweet scent of honey and toffee that will instantly satisfy any cravings for sweets, and is made from Fair Trade Colombian cocoa butter that will leave your body soft and smooth and delicious smelling. It is also completely covered in golden shimmer that will leave your skin with a lovely sheen.
RRP: $6.50 each - Available from Lush
Bunch of Carrots
These carrots have to be my favourite products from these limited edition products. I mean, how cute, and how real do they look! The carrots are in fact bubble bars that can be re-used several times. You simply swish them in your bath water, or alternatively hold them under the running water, to release the bubbles. They smell fresh and zesty from the buchu, lemon and grapefruit oils, and will give you a nice refreshing bath! I can easily see myself becoming addicted to these!
RRP: $9.95 /each/bunch of three carrots - Available from Lush
Pot O’ Gold
This literally is a pot of gold. The golden shimmering shower gel literally has the consistency of jelly. It contains At the end of every rainbow lies sweet, sweet orange oil, myrrh resinoid, fresh pineapple juice and vanilla absolute and has a lovely sweet yet fruity scent. It leaves the skin delicately scented after use, and with a lovely subtle sheen as well. Perfect for use before a special night out!
RRP: $6.95/per 100g, $12.95 /per 240g - Available from Lush
Somewhere over the Rainbow
The soap bar I receive didn’t exactly look like a rainbow with one half of the soap bar being pink and the other one blue, but that doesn’t mean it is not beautiful. It contains rose absolute, Sicilian mandarin and neroli oils and has the most gorgeous fruity floral scent. I do admit to usually preferring liquid soap, but with a soap bar smelling this nice, I may just be converted!
RRP: $6.95 /per 100g - Available from Lush
Hoppity Poppity
How cute is this little buddy!! Normally an Easter bunny would leave you feeling guilty for eating too many calories, but this little fellow will give you a refreshed and uplifted, thanks to containing fresh herbs. It also contains popping candy to give you a fun experience in the bath. Shame it is almost too cute to use!
RRP: $5.50 /each - Available from Lush

Today I’d like to share with you some brand new product just launched by Lush*;
Zest hair gelly
This hair gelly is has a lovely zesty scent (and as loyal readers may know, I LOVE zesty citrus scents), thanks to containing Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Pettigrain Oil from the twigs of the bitter orange tree and Neroli Oil from the flowers of the bitter orange tree. Sounds also good enough to eat. In addition it also contains extracts from Irish moss seaweed to help create texture while the sugar from the orange juice boosts the holding power. I have long hair so I won’t be needing this, but it is perfect for my little toddler boys fine hair, as it will help give his hair a cheeky hairstyle, all without making his hair look or feel greasy! RRP $18.95 (100g) – Available from Lush
Granny takes a dip Bath Bomb
Oh I love the name of this bath bomb that has been designed to leave phychedelic swirls of colour in the bomb with its fizzy centre that dissolves, as you lay back and relax. It contains ginger, pepper, and lemon (YAY!), so while it is slightly spicy, it has a lovely zesty scent as well. Unfortunately the bath bomb had not survived in one piece during the transit, as you can see from the photo, but regardless, the effect was same! RRP $6.75 – Available from Lush
African Paradise Body Conditioner
This is a body lotion that is to be used in the shower after shower gel, but then rinsed off, to leave the skin soft and moisturised. I love these types of moisturisers as they are so much quicker to use than a standard body lotion as you don’t need to wait for it to absorb into the skin. This body conditioner contains Shea Butter, Moringa Oil, Aloe Vera, Ylang Ylang, and has a nice fresh scent that lingers, even when you are out of the shower. RRP $37.50 (245g) – Available from Lush
D'Fluff Shaving Cream
I have to admit that I usually use an epilator for shaving my legs, but this shaving cream is also perfect for shaving under my arms where I use a standard shaver. The shaving cream has, as the name suggests, a fluffy consistency, and leaves your skin feeling so silky soft and smooth, and without any irritations or shaving rash thanks to containing moisturising and nourishing ingredients including coconut oil. It also contains Strawberries, Maple, Rose, and Sweet Wild Orange Oil, and has the most gorgeous sweet strawberry scent, that is so delish that you almost feel like eating it. RRP $9.95 (100g), $18.50 (250g) – Available from Lush
Parsley Porridge Soap
I love porridge, and eat it for breakfast several times a week, but have to admit that that the description of this soap along with the green colour didn’t leave me lusting for it. Not very tempting at all. But then I realised that it is an antibacterial soap that is suitable for both face and body and it contains bacteria fighting ingredients including thyme and tea tree oil along with fine milled porridge oats and aloe gel, and I saw it in a different light. That is just what I need. I have combination skin that is always prone to breakouts, and during summer when I use sunscreen, also on my shoulders. And it is even more perfect now that I am pregnant and not able to use conventional blemish fighting products that often contain salicylic acid which is a no-no when you’re pregnant. And so far I am really enjoying using it, as it makes my skin feel clean and clear, yet without making it feel dried out. RRP $6.95 (100g) – Available from Lush
Mangnificent Soap
The Magnificient Soap on the other hand sounds and looks so appealing that you almost want to eat it, and especially when you know that it contains a blend fresh and dried mango. It also contains Tunisian Neroli Oil, Sicilian Lemon, Mandarin Oil, and smells so divine, that it awakens your senses immediately. It is jam-packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and helps cleanse the skin while leaving soft and nourished at the same time. RRP $6.95 (100g) – Available from Lush
So there you go, some new product releases from Lush. Personally I am particularly enjoying the Magnificent Soap, the African Paradise Body Conditioner and the D'Fluff Shaving Cream, although I, surprisingly also think that I will be repurchasing the Parsley Porridge soap to keep my skin clear, and I do enjoy using the Zest hair gelly in my little boy’s hair as well…. So overall big thumbs up from me for some great new releases from Lush that are sure to be a big hit!
