Lush Christmas 2016 (NA, Uk, Oxford Street, Kitchen)

My Lush Christmas 2017 page will have the same format as this one, except with the new products.

How it goes every year is that I write the Christmas page.

Then i buy the products right away from Lush. I add the names and descriptions and prices of each product here on my blog and i try to do this as early as i can before lush puts them on their site snd in stores.

I always do a haul video and take good pics.

Then as i review them i make short Tub demo videos for you all. I also add each product here to its assigned page as i use each.

Lush Oxford Street superstore will also be creating and selling a few exclusives of their very own this Christmas. I have demos of those.

And of course, the Lush Kitchen mail order website at Lush.co.uk/kitchen will probably have some (pre-Christmas release) Holiday delights of their own too for us to buy! I’ve posted those here as well.

Bath bombs-This year there will be a few new bath bombs, such as “‘Nevermind the Ballistics’ , with lime, orange and frankincense. And a new one called “Mistletoe’ made with the Lush popular ‘Silky underwear’ scent, as well as many popular, returning favorites such as ‘Golden Wonder’, ‘Stardust’, ‘Luxury Pud’, and ‘Butterbear’.  The new Christmas ‘Satsuma’ bomb, which will only be available in stores in a couple of gift sets, and it shares it’s scent with the new Christmas soap called “Igloo’.

The returning ‘Northern Lights’, ‘Shoot for the Stars’, ‘Stardust’, and ‘So White’ bath bombs will have a new look!

Body Conditioners-Our beloved, minty “Christingle’ body conditioner will be returning this year. Plus there is new body conditioner this year called “Snow Fairy’.  As you’ve probably guessed, it was made with the same ingredients as, thus shares it’s scent with the popular Christmas Lush shower gel “Snow Fairy’.  It’s a lovely light pink with sparkle in it!

Body Lotion-A new lotion called “Sleepy’ which seems from the ingredients to be a “Twilight’ scented lotion.  Yay!

Speaking of Twilight scented things; this Christmas Lush has also created a new dusting powder called “Mr. Sandman”, and they advertise it as having the “twilight” scent.  Twilight is a creamy, herby lavender scent, with a slight vanilla note coming from the tonka bean.  Aren’t we lucky this year!  Thank you lush.

Bubble bars– Lush will introduce two new re-usable wand type bubble bar this Holiday, Jester, whcih shares it’s scent with Lush “Brightside’ bubble bar and Santasurus which is made with the honey i washed the kids scent.  They will join the returning “Magic of Christmas” and “Magic Wand’ bubble bar wands.

There are a few of new Holiday 2016  bubble bars this year such as “Snowie’ which has the gorgeous “Frozen’ bath bomb scent, as well as the returning ‘Christmas Penguin’, ‘Candy Mountain’ and ‘Peeping Santa’ bubble bars.

The red, glittery Christmas “Ruby Red Slipper’ (I.E. “Holiday Bubble”) bubble bar from Holidays past has been redesigned this year to be in a different shape.  Instead of the usual gorgeous, round red Holiday bubble bar, this years’ will be designed to look like an actual ruby red slipper! They’ve outdone themselves!

Dusting Powders The popular “Fairy Dust’ powder returns this year, and Lush has also created a new Christmas dusting powder called “Mr. Sandman”, which Lush advertises as having the “Twilight” scent.

FUN bars–Lush will also introduce 3-4 new limited edition Christmas FUN bars; Santa, Elf, Reindeer, and Snow Fairy. Last years’ Magic of Christmas, Aliens and Monsters’, and Snakes and ladders will not be returning this year.

Jellies-There are two returning holiday shower jellies; Santa’s Belly and ‘Snowman’,  and one new Christmas facial jelly called “Papa Noel’

Lip color, lip tints, lip scrubs, lip balms-Two returning and two new lip products this year.  A new lip tint called “Sugar Plum Fairy’ and the other new one is a lip scrub also called “Sugar Plum Fairy’.  Unlike the returning, red toned “Santa baby’ and “Santa’s Lip scrub, the new “Sugar Plum” lip tint and lip scrub will have a plum and purple color.

Shower gels-Two returning Holiday faves and one or two new Holiday 2016 shower gels; ‘Snow Fairy’ and ‘Rose Jam’. One new Christmas shower gel this year called “Bubbly’ which is made with the popular  “Champagne Snow Showers’/ ‘Celebrate’ scent.

Soap-There are four new soaps this year in addition to returning favorites like “Baked Alaska” and “Reindeer Rock”.  Reindeer is a different color this year! Gorgeous, New Holiday limited edition soaps include ‘Igloo’, ‘Santa’s Post Box’, and ‘Shooting Stars’, and ‘Snowcastle’!  Igloo soap shares it’s scent with the new Christmas bath bomb called ‘Satsuma’. I find Shooting Stars soap to smells like Lush ‘Avobath’ bath bomb, Avoshower jelly, shower gel.

Honey I Washed the Kids jelly


 

Lush.co.uk made these for one day only, to sell on their website.  I was lucky enough to be able to buy a couple because they went so fast, in seconds!   This would be a real good jelly to blend up into a thick shower gel type of consistency.  I cut mine into squares and use one swuare in the shower.  I also use them at the sink to wash my hands with.  The jelly stays solid when you wash it, so i just keep a piece in the soap dish.

This is the best Honey I Washed the Kids product that lush has ever made.  I freaked out at how strong the fragrance is in this jelly.  It’s a creamy, toffee, orange scent.  Absolutely yummy.  It leaves ones skin smelling yummy.  The scent stays on the skin a bit longer than other lush jellies.

Lush has made many products with this same scent.  Honey bee bath bomb, Ma Bar bubble bar, Mum reusable bubble wand, Honey I washed the kids soap, It’s Raining Men shower gel, honeyhugs shower gel, honey i washed the kids shower gel, Honey I washed the kids perfume spray, Shoot for the Stars bath bomb.

There more in my photo below. And there are a few that i don’t have in my photo nor in the list above the photo.

Vanillary Scent Family

Lush Times Online: Inspired by the extraordinary deserts at Heston Blumental’s amazing restaurant, The Fat Duck at Bray (www.fatduck.co.uk), Mo Constantine – Lush inventor extraordinaire – came up with Vanilla Fountain ballistic, which has been an instant hit since it first appeared on our shelves. Simon Constantine (son of Mo and Mark and our in-house perfumer) created the comforting vanilla scent with natural vanilla absolute – the posh stuff made from vanilla pods – with a touch of restful sandalwood and a note of burnt caramel. So it was no surprise that it didn’t take our customers long to ask for a perfume of the same sweet scent. Well, we went one better and created a liquid and solid fragrance, a massage bar, dusting powder and of course we have our lovely bath ballistic, which set the ball rolling in the first place.

Play Your Cards Right

(Sex Bomb scented Valentine’s 2008 massage bar)

Review: This is absolutely wonderful smelling. I smells a nice medium strong jasmine and rose “Sex Bomb” scent. Lush made this with the same sage, rose and jasmine that their popular bath bomb is made with.  

This is the first Lush massage bar in the awhile that I’ve made a habit of swiping on my arms as i’m going out the door, because it’s strong enough to wear as a perfume. And the bar is the cutest looking thing ever! I give this 5 stars, for looks, and scent.

If you like florals youll like the scent of Play Your Cards Right.

Here’s a video review i made of all these products .

Avowash soap

This doesn’t smell like Avobath bath bomb, nor does this smell like Avowash shower gel. This different smell altogether.

Water (Aqua), Sodium Palm Kernelate, Propylene Glycol, Fresh Avocado (Persea gratissima), Fresh Lemon Juice (Citrus limonum), Sodium Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Perfume, Pine Oil (Pinus), Colour 77801, Avocado Oil (Persea gratissima), Sodium Chloride, Glycerine, EDTA, Tetrasodium Editronate, Benzyl Benzoate, *Limonene, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Colour 42045. * Occurs naturally in essential oils

Review: I love the moisturization of this soap. I have dry skin so the avoacado really helps my skin from being dry. However, the smell just doesn’t do it for me. It’s too bitter for my taste. The Avocado and lemon oil is nice and I even like Lush’s Pine soaps, but the combination of the pine and the other stuff doesn’t work for me. I think if it was just an iota sweeter, it would be much better. So for smell I give it a 2 but for the help with my dry skin it gets a 2.5.

 

Description: Creamy green avocado soap: refreshing and nourishing.

Shut up and Get Over It (Jiggly’s Foxy Balls)

This bath bomb had the Lush ‘Happy 4 SAD’ shower gel SCENT. This was made for us one day on the Lush UK customer forum IN 2009. Jiggly’s Paul is a wonderful Lush staff member.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Coarse Sea Salt, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Grapefruit Oil (Citrus paradisi), Neroli Oil (Citrus Aurantium amara), Mandarin Oil (Citrus nobilis), *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 18050, Colour 61585.

* Occurs naturally in essential

 

Description: one time only Forum Special – Spring 2009 “That Foxy one has nagged poor Wesley and hounded him until he dare not appear out of doors. She wanted something to ease her Seasonal Adjustive Disorder with a large dose of neroli. Jigglypaul said that we should all shut up and get over it – but then he relented and sent his suggestion for this ballistic. So do you feel the blues breaking through during the long dark winters ?? If so, take one of these into the bath and watch the blues dissolve away, leaving you with a bright sunshine bath to lift your mind and spirits.

Go on, come over to the bright side !”
