BIG Sea Salt Shampoo - Lush Review

Hi, I'm Danni and I'm a Lush addict. I bet you are too. Come on admit it, you have at least two bath bombs waiting to be sploshed into hot water for a colourful soothing soak in the tub. I certainly do, I have at least ten following the Boxing day sale. I kind of went crazy and got two gift sets and numerous half-price soaps. And on top of this, I also received gift sets for Christmas, so yes I am set for the entire year. Apart from all the smelly bath bombs, I decided to pick up a favourite of mine - Big Sea Salt Shampoo.

On Lush's website, it says to use a small amount of this shampoo - which is filled with sea salt, seaweed, coconut oil and lemon and lime - work into wet hair well to create a lather. At first, I was very dubious of Big's volumising claims, and I still kind of am. It definitely has all the makings of a great uplifting shampoo, but maybe I'm not doing it right. I should probably use less... But the real reason I am still in love with this shampoo is the way it makes my hair feel. After using Big my hair feels so clean. It actually squeaks. This doesn't mean that my hair feels dry at all because of the intense clean, quite the opposite it feels silky and smooth. I don't use this all the time as it is quite an intense shampoo, what will the large chunks of salt, but every week I get the satisfaction of making my hair super clean. Squeaky clean. It also smells amazing. At first, you may not think so, which happens with a few of the Lush products, but after a few washes, you will love it. It is so fresh and invigorating and the fragrance sticks to your hair after you've rinsed it all away. I'd urge you all to try this shampoo and I think I will try using a little less to see if this helps improve my volume! Do you have any Lush recommendations? I'd love to hear them as I'm obsessed with the shop and need a reason to visit again.

The bathroom - styling our new home

After moving into our new house we gave it a complete cleaning blitz which included getting stuck into the bathroom. When it was cleaned to our standards we got to adding personal touches to make it feel like ours.

We chose a set from Dunelm Mill which feature cute nautical icons on each accessory. There is a toothbrush and toothpaste holder, a soap dish, a toilet brush holder and a set of tea light holders. In addition to this set we added a small mirror from Ikea and some tea lights in jars that I've collected. I love having candles when I'm in the bath as it creates such a relaxing atmosphere. Having tea lights in empty jars is a cheap but very pretty way to bring a quirky style to any room.

This is our shower curtain which features a huge map of American in a lovely deep turquoise colour. Having never had a shower curtain before I was keen to buy one that was interesting and quirky, this certainly fits the bill. We bought this from Urban Outfitters and although not the cheapest I think it will last a while!

In the bathroom, we have a bath/shower which is pretty standard. To this, we've added a corner shelf from Ikea which is so useful for keeping shower items tidy and out of the way. I love having the extra storage for all my different shower gels and shampoos!

This is going to be our bathroom for the foreseeable future until we can save the money to get a new one. I will definitely be on Pinterest between now and then to find ideas for my new bathroom. For now, I am really happy with what we have. Taking a relaxing bath in here will be lovely.
