Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: Lush Intergalactic Candle

Fact: scented candles can be an arm and a leg. And while we wouldn’t necessarily burn every candle in the Lush range (we are not massive fans of gourmands or mega-florals), this has been flickering in the Beauty Bible office this week, bringing a sophisticated breath of refreshing air, with a wake-up vibe that has felt just perfect for this back-to-school season.

Intergalactic is one of Lush’s most recognisable, mood-lifting scents – inspired by the cult (so we’re told) blue-and-pink bath bomb, it blends bracing peppermint with zesty grapefruit for a clean, almost fizzy fragrance. Instantly invigorating!

Think: a burst of cool air and citrus zest – ideal for brightening a grey afternoon (one of those is on the cards, today), or lifting the energy levels at our desks, as it’s been doing for us.

A real bonus: all of Lush’s scented candles are vegan and made with natural wax, without palm oil, paraffin, GM ingredients or soy, and – a bonus – this tin is recyclable, too. (Impressively, after it’s burned for up to 30 hours – can’t attest to that as it’s only been flickering this week, but it’s certainly going down slowly.)

So, our pencils are sharpened. Our shoes are polished. Our invigorating candle is lit. Autumn, we are READY!
