Well no obviously I haven't two-timed me with anyone but I couldn't resist the title. One of the main products to be written about on Ciao is a Lush product and up until this point I had remained a Lush virgin (hence the title) simply because the smell from any of the shops was so over powering that it put me off going in to investigate their goodies.
Anyway, last week for my birthday my beloved husband had paid a visit to a Lush shop and as part of my present I was given a Lush Bubble Bar Slice called 'TwoTiming Tart'.
