Self Esteem Machine

2.5 out of 5 rating. See my demo/review video below. Has the same scent as the Lush ‘Which Came First’ , and ‘Immaculate Eggception’ Easter bath bomb, which i like. But i dont smell that in this perfume. At least not on *my* skin. Self Esteem Machine starts out alright, then turns into a gross smell on me after awhile. i wish i wouldve rated it a 2. 

Black Currant Angel

4 out of 5 rating. See my 2 minute review/demo video below 🙂

I like this perfume. Its bold, spicy and wonderfully fruity. The fruity ness comes from the black currant, which is kind of berryish. Just for a comparison the Lush Comforter bubble bar gets its scent primarily from black currant.

The spiciness is earthy and even seems licorice-y on my skin. Its very strong. A little goes a long way.

Lush created black currant angel during Lush’s very last Gorilla Arthouse perfume series, and only sold this one as an exclusive black label perfume.

Tank Battle

5 out of 5 rating. Heres my review and demo of it below.

Lush description

Some say that this has a bubblegum note in it and I can totally smell that. It’s actually a sweet, resinous note that is also earthy. This blend has some notes that remind me of fuel too. It reminds me a bit of two other Lush perfumes; ‘Superworld Unknown’ and ‘All Good Things’.

Here’s my review video of Tank Battle

Rentless

4 out of 5 rating. See my 2 minute review and demo video below 🙂

Rentless was a perfume amongst other different perfumes made by Lush for their Gorilla IV series of perfumes. Lush’s Gorilla Perfume Volume IV (or Series 4) is a highly regarded, art-driven collection co-created by Simon Constantine and Dallas-based artist Hal Samples. It explores themes like home and belonging. Standout fragrances from this series include the cozy, cocoa-and-vanilla forward “Im Home” and the rich, spicy “Cardomom Coffee”, “Amelia Mae”.

Lush made a liquid spray 30ml bottle and a liquid 60ml spray bottle of Rentless persume and years later a solid version. They also made a wash card (paper soap) in the rentless scent that they sold on the Lush UK site.

The ingredients:

Patchouli oil, Labdanum, Tonka seed extract, Grapefruit oil, Anise alcohol, Citral, Coumarin, Eugenio, Farnesol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool.

It’s a non sweet scent, but it does have a wee bit of sweetness that sits underneath the deep earthiness of labdanum and patchouli, a hint of citrus brightness from the grapefruit, a bit of licorice spice. It reminds me of an earthiness, with a bit of brightness, like steel, and a faint, ever so slightly sweet licorice spice.

Rentless (attendees report that they were told that the ‘metamorphosis’ bomb was made with this fragrance).

Lush description:

… “Never been homeless”

Tachowa embodies the spirit of “making something out of nothing”. Everything inside the home he had made inside the tank were found treasures or gifts. He used these gathered items to make his living space beautiful. He was ingenious at upcycling other people’s throwaways into art; cutting up surfboards to make shelves, using broken pieces of CD to design a mosaic that shone up on the ceiling. His home was an art piece before Banksy’s words made it so.”

Even though people have argued with me on my video comments, attendees of the Gorilla IV release event reported that they were told that the ‘metamorphosis’ bomb was made with this fragrance. When i smell it I can see that. I took a pic of those together.

The Lush Ninja bath bombs were also made with the Rentless scent.

How to use: 

Time for a refreshing cooldown with tingly, cleansing peppermint and eucalyptus oils. Lather under running water, wake up to the rousing lemongrass and rinse.

This is a wonderfully minty soap. And the incredible blue swirls of color makes this soap stunning.

Magnificent

See my 2 minute demo and review video of my Lush Magnificent bath oil below.


Feel propelled by uplifting grapefruit and tangerine, as you luxuriate in waters infused with a coalescence of intensely moisturising shea butter, jojoba oil and restorative litsea cubeba oil. You don’t need a bath to tell you how magnificent you are, but it helps.


Tangerine, Grapefruit and Litsea cubeba.

Lush is amazing

When the company you love sends you things to review, and say it’s a token of their appreciation..it blows your mind.

And then you faint.

I’m honored. And i will do my best to review these. I’m going to be as unbiased and honest as i always have been with my reviews, all the while knowing, and stating how freaking amazing Lush is for doing this. ❤️
