Bewitched

5 out of 5 rating

not to be confused with another lush product called bewitched which is a massage bar that doesnt have the same scent and is a completely seperate and different product.


See my demo video below.

This was made with the Lush ‘blackberry bomb‘ scent.

Frankincense, and bergamot.

It’s such a nice mellow (but not weakly scented) berryish scent. I don’t care what form i get this scent in but the Bewitched bubble bar is one of my favorites.

It’s perfect to ‘cocktail’ with other Lush products for changing/customizing the color of the water. The black color of Bewitched can be combined with Monsters Ball bath bomb to make a dark inky purple colored water.

Lush description: After a busy day whizzing around on a broomstick, ground yourself with olibanum and be spellbound by bergamot. Twitch your nose and breathe in this familiar blackberry scent. Whether in this life or one of the other eight, you’d be a fool to let this pass you by!

Here’s my tub demo video of it

 

Here’s a ‘scent family portrait’ i made of all the Lush products with the blackberry bomb scent.

Lush Spas

I was flown to England in 2014 and 2018 by the creator and owner of Lush Mark Constantine. Amongst other wonderful gifts I was fortunate to be chosen to have a full Syneasthesia spa treatment at the very first Lush store, and Lush International headquarters, 29 High Street in Poole England. I was one of the first clients, at the very first spa, at the very first Lush store. I can’t tell you what an honor it was. During my stay in England I paid myself for two more treatments: ‘The Comforter’, and the ‘Sound bath’.

Mark later incorporated Lush spas into Lush USA later. We had approx 5 Lush Spas in the U.S. at that time. Unfortunately there was a ‘half owner’ of Lush in the U.S., another Mark with the last name Wolverton who closed them all down at the same time.

Meanwhile the amount of spas, and treatments in England have grown.

My aim with this page was to add information regarding all the Lush Spas around the world, and info about the treatments themselves. I want to include pictures and video i’ve taken inside the spa rooms, etc which are visually stunning. However, i’ve been SO busy i haven’t had a chance to add these things. My aim to do all this is still there however, so i’ll be working a bit more on this page, here and there. Im also setting dates for myself to allocate time to only doing this so i can add more.

I’ll add my spa experience here, the photos I’ve taken, and video clips I’ve taken of the spa.

In 2014 Lush developed and implemented their first Spa location and spa treatments.

This was very new and exciting. For years customers had suggested lush do spa treatments, since their products certainly falls under the umbrella of self care and beauty.

The owner of Lush Ltd, Mark Constantine decided he wanted his spas to be very different than the usual spa trestment. While all spas promote well being, few have a true give and take with the client. Most clients go to a spa feeling that many wonderful things were done to them to promote wellness. While the Lush spas are more interactive. They let the client decide what mood they need or want to acheive. Then lush tailor makes each of the 12 treatments to the clients need/want/desire.

The Lushspas attend to the body, mind, spirit complex.

For instance the music pieces for each spa was hand made by the owner and creators of lush themselves, utilizing other like minded artists from England.

I’ll write more about my experience at a later date.

Below is a picture of a chocolate massage scrub bar, and a rose serum bar. tThese smell incredible and are used in ‘The Comforter’ spa treatment.

Below are photos I’ve taken of the ‘Crystal Ball’ bath bomb from the ‘Tales of Bath’ spa treatment. It has a crystal light in it that is activated when the bomb starts fizzing away and dissolving. So your left with this approximate 2 inch color changing light crystal floating in the water. I can’t remember what the scent is for this bomb. i can ask a person who used to work and put it here.

i took this photo to show how much bigger the Crystal Ball bath bomb is compared to a regular size lush bath bomb. Definitely a 5 out of 5 bath bomb.

Lush Spa Crystal Ball 

6 star bath bomb

Lush Uk (❤️) sent this to me. It even lights up! See my demo video of this magical bath bomb below.

It even lights up! And the light turns different colors!

Just for comparison i put the Lush Crystal ball bath bomb next to a regular size lush bath bomb in my photo below.

You can see the clear crystal in the middle of the bath bomb on top.



Snowcloud

5 out of 5 rating

See my demo & review video of my snowcloud soap below.

Lush made Snowcloud soap with their ‘Orange Blossom’ perfume fragrance. 

Heres what the whole big slab of soap in the stores look like. 


I cannot get over this soap. I am in love with the scent. I could sniff this ALL DAY LONG. 


This is made with neroli, ylang ylang, orange flower, rosewood, sandalwood. 

Drift off to cloud 9. When the weather outside is frightful you don’t have to feel the same. Uplifting orange blossom absolute and neroli oil will cheer you up in no time. Transport yourself back to summer and memories of spotting shapes in the clouds with comforting rosewood and warming sandalwood oils. They say that every cloud has a silver lining but this one has uplifting ylang ylang instead.

Other Lush products with the same scent

Citrus Christmas 

Put on the music, pump up the volume, get in the shower, sing as loud as you can and have the lime of your life. This citrus packed soap will make you want to sing from the rooftops (though in the interest of looking sane we advise you stick to the bathroom). With it’s uplifting lime oil, mood brightening lemon infusion and happy-making bergamot, you will feel on top of the world and ready to party.

Hedgewitch

5 out of 5 rating

Photo above courtesy of the lovely @squishieplushie on Instagram 

here’s a pic of mine below, along with other Lush products all of these are made with the same scent.

The Plum Rain scent is one of my favorite scents. Hedgewitch smells just like the shower gel, but better/sweeter and less bitter than the body spray.

Its a fruity scent made with orange and petigrain which is a bitter note and some things have plum in it but most of these dont actually have plum, but it smells yummy!

Here’s my pic of it below

Heres another pic

Heres the newer 2025 version called Hedgerider. Looks the same, smells the same but has a slightly different name.

Sugar plum fairy naked

The scent is similar to the Comforter. Lush calls some products naked because they’re containerless products. Lush store people put it in a small black paper box. It’s applied with Lip brush or your fingers.

These below are my last year’s versions of the sugar plum fairy lip tint and scrub. Not naked, they’re in regular lip product containers. The scrub in particular is yummy.

Twilight naked

See my 7 minute Demo and review video below. This is shower gel A new )limited time) format, a solid, naked shower gel in the popular Lush lavender and tonka ‘Twilight’ fragrance.

Here are as couple of photos I’ve taken of mine

The regular bottles type of Twilight are also available this year in the 100g, 250g, and 500g. I’m unsure as yet if there is a 1k size this year as there was last year.

Saucey Snowcake

A new version of the classic Lush Christmas ‘Snowcake’ soap. Lush has been carrying the tradition of various different versions of their classic Snowcake soap since the early 2000’s.

This year Lush went all out and made a gourmet soap in the Snowcake scent, but with an additional squishy, yummy looking ‘saucey’ topping. It looks like fruit and Oh my goodness I want a whole wheel lol. This is a gourmet soap this year with extra moisturizing properties.

I’ll have more info like cost, more pics, etc tomorrow.

Snowman jelly

A shower jelly returning this year. The Easter bubble bar called ‘Bunch of Carrots’ was made in the Snowman Jelly scent (and the Snowman Fun bar scent).

It’s made with buchu oil and black currant giving it a fruity, only slightly sweet scent. Gorgeous scent! 

Snow Fairy cold pressed soap

3 out of 5 rating. See my video review and sink demo below.

A soap for the holidays in the cold pressed style.  I believe this particular one is more moisturizing with extra coconut oil if I’m not mistaken. A cold pressed soap is the same consistency as the current Lush Uk ‘Mechanic’ and ‘Gardner’ soaps.

 

 

Here are all the Christmas 2017 products with the  popular pink, vanilla sweeties ‘Snow Fairy’ fragrance.


Here’s my video it

Jelly bomb porn

some of my photos of my Lush jelly bombs. 😊

Lush introduced these around 2016…or so. Most (not all) did NOT like these and made their feelings known to Lush, so they were discontinued after not even a year. I liked them but they made it harder to clean the tub, and more importantly the jelly made the tub too slippery imo.

 

‘Orange marmalade’ jelly bomb

Coconut jelly bomb

Ectoplasm jelly bomb (Halloween)

Snow Fairy jelly bomb

‘The ‘Big Sleep’ jelly bomb and ‘Secret Arts’ (formerly Dark Arts) jelly bomb

Dark Arts – you can see the jelly. So it was black but it had a bit of pink in the middle.

Ectoplasm moving around the tub. The The bomb had purple on the outside, and the Ectoplasm jelly was nuclear green just like the other Lush Ectoplasm products. It was a cool looking combination.

The black Dark Arts jelly with the bit of pink in it. 😊

Another shot of Ectoplasm shows the Excoplasm ghost

‘Big Sleep’ was blue and smelled like lavender, chamomile. Great one.

Another shot of Coconut.
