Jelly bombs! 

Lush will be introducing four new bath bombs which are made a bit differently. They contain Kaolin clay and form a jelly like texture on the surface of the water. Kaolin is used in some of my favorite Lush skin care products.  The texture is more Silky than straight up gooey.

I was told these would be coming to the States in the Fall.

I’ll be adding each bath bomb as its own individual page here, including ingredients to each.

Lush States in their article that Dark Arts has the Cinders scent.  And it has orange oil & cinnamon like Cinders.

Please look after this Jelly Bomb and uplifting orange flower absolute will look after your mood. Get in a warm bath, toss in this brightening brunch of Brazilian orange and grapefruit oils and relax as jelly covers the water, softening skin and spreading joy as it goes.

Travelling all the way from deepest darkest Poole, vibrant oranges and yellows will chase away the blues. Without a shred of a doubt, bad moods will be toast!

Grapefruit Oil

Brazilian Orange Oil

Orange Flower Absolute

Orange Slices

Finally, Marmalade is an orange lovers dream, packed with citrus to brighten the skin, this zesty Jelly Bomb contains an uplifting orange scented jelly and dehydrated orange pieces – just like bathing in a big jar of vibrant marmalade! Juicy grapefruit oil, Brazilian orange oil and orange flower absolute burst from this Jelly Bomb, creating refreshing citrus waters. Lie back and bask in this sunny, feel-good bath.

The Big Sleep

See my pics and my bath demo of this below. 



Slip into something more comfortable: your bath! When you’re in need of some serious relaxation, grab this snoozy lullaby of lavender and tonka. Relax in the water, pop it in and soak under the skin softening jelly blanket. Chamomile calms the skin and the mood while neroli helps you feel uplifted. Sleep tight!

Here’s my four minute demo video of this in my bath. 


If you are struggling to catch some Z’s look to The Big Sleep. It’s crammed with chamomile and lavender, and creates a layer of soothing jelly to moisturise your skin and lull you into deep slumbers. Neroli oil lifts you into floral rapture, while caramel sweet tonka absolute evokes old fashioned sweet shops. This uplifting Jelly Bomb comforts and calms, so you can let go of lingering tensions.  

Lush Kitchen Haul pics July 2017 

I ordered three products.  One of each.

“Mrs. Whippy” bath bomb. It looks perfect! And it smells perfect! It has that look and smell of a yummy confection. It’s made with the berrylishous black currant. And soya milk to make it extra creamy.

I can’t wait to use it this week! I’ll be recording a video of that.

Next is the new Lush “New” hot oil hair treatment. It has a stick in the red meltable product. It’s to be stirred into a hot cup of water. I’ll be recording a demo of using this within the next week, and I’ll *try* to make it within the next couple of days.

The next item is ‘Plantational” solid shampoo/henna bar. This smells just as I recall. I am quite simply addicted to its scent. It’s a deeply earthy, henna powder, orange oil blend. It’s to make brown or red hair brighter, shinier and conditioned. If one has short hair you may or may not be able to skip conditioner with this bar. Especially if you have fine or medium hair.

I’m toning down my spending per order quite a bit so that I can enjoy more of a variety of things and doing multiple orders instead of one big order, with multiples of each item per month.

Anyway, I ordered my favorite items out of the ten products Lush made last week.

Upon inspection of each one, they each look, smell and feel like perfect ‘specimens’.  The smell of each one is scrummy. ❤️ I’m straight on addicted to the smell of Plantational. It is intoxicating. You’ve got the black currant smell from the Mrs Whippy, the cinnamon and clove from New hot oil treatment and that earthy henna and Brazilian orange oil from the Plantational bar. The combined box oddly smells like the beloved lord of Misrule fragrance. LOVE.

Happy Blooming bath melt and Scent Family Photo 

In this video (at 9:45) i show my happy blooming bath melt and describe it

My lotion and perfume arrived today from a dear person, so now i can do a proper family photo. 🙂 it has a strong cherry fragrance. Some folks think it’s too sickly sweet or fake smelling. While it’s certainly strong it’s not a fake scent because it’s loaded with real cherries. And it also contains coconut. I usually don’t like very sweet things from Lush, but in the case of Happy Blooming it seems to be beyond my control because my mouth actually starts watering when I smell it. In my opinion, the jelly and the lotion are stronger in scent as the melt & the solid fragrance are.

I love everything about this scent.
