Yuzu and Cocoa bath bomb

3.5 out of 5 rating. See my 1 minute tub demo below

Lush has opened up a new store in the Harajuku area of Japan. At this new, special store Lush will sell 35-50 exclusive bath bombs. One of these exclusive Japan Harajuku store bombs is this Yuzu and Cocoa.

The scent is supposed to smell like Yuzu which is a asian citrus fruit. And they add powdered cocoa to the mix.

Lush used to sell in store a Yuzu and Cocoa shower cream and a Yuzu and Cocoa bubble bar. Lush also made an exclusive perfume and sold it at lush.co.uk once

This does have glitter. It has something in it that seems to be somewhat conditioning to my skin also.

The scent is nice and strong.

When i compare it to the other exclusive bath bombs it isnt one of my favorites. But it is good.

if you like all things in this scent i would recommend it.

In my photo below are other lush products made with the yuzu and cocoa scent.

Honey I Washed the Kids bath bomb

3.5 out of 5 rating

See my 1 minute tub demo video below

Lush has opened up a new store in the Harajuku area of Japan. At this new, special store Lush will sell 35-50 exclusive bath bombs. One of these exclusive Japan Harajuku store bombs is Honey I Washed the Kids.

Its got a strong fragrance of bergamot, and orange oil and other goodies so that it winds up smelling like toffee. Its a very popular scent that Lush has used in many different bath bombs and othrr products in the past.

Lush used to sell a bath bomb in all their stores called ‘Honey Bee’ which was HIWTK scented. However it was discontinued in 2016. It was a pale color. It wasnt a bright yellow color like this Japan exclusive bomb.

And the Christmas ‘Shoot For rhe Stars’ has the same scent just a different look. I once used them both together in my bath.

This bath bomb doesnt have any glitter. It has something in it that seems to be somewhat conditioning to my skin. The red geometric shaped design on the bomb seem to be little bath oils.

The scent is nice and strong.

When i compare it to the other exclusive bath bombs it isnt one of my favorites. But it is good.

if you like all things in this scent i would recommend it.

Lush Valentine’s 2019

Apparently Lush planned a cheeky, sexually suggestive Valentine’s. 😉

I love the whimsy and double entendrees of the names, and shapes of these products. Pay particular attention to the ‘6’ bubble bar, and another ‘6’ bubble bar in a different color.  And the peach, the “Eggplant”, the banana… 

Here is my haul video with scent descriptions!

As usual i will add a list of all the Valentine’s products in alphabetical order and the names will all have links to their own blog page, along with my tub demo, rating, written review and my own photos.

Lucky Cat

3 out of 5 rating. See my 2 minute tub demo video below.

I assumed this woukd be a 5 star bath bomb just because of the way it looks; pink, cat, glitter. However, the pink color is only on the outside. The bath bomb itself is a peach, yellow/tan color. The pink color comes off as soon as the bomb enters the water, perhaps by design.

The problem comes when the pink powder sticks to the tub or your skin, as it did mine.

Upon investigating I read a LOT of complaints about this on both the Lush USA retail website reviews and the Uk retail website reviews of Lucky Cat bath bomb.

So thats why i dropped this gorgeous looking bath bomb to a 3 rating.

As i mentioned in my video i failed to take my own advice and add a squeeze of shower gel to my bath water before dropping the bomb in. So i wod up having to scrub and use bleach after my bath.

The smell is a great floral scent that is somewhat fruity and somewhat sweet. Pity about the color.

this bomb makes the water a pale tan color as you can see in my video

Lush Japan Harajuku New Concept Store

November 2018- Lush has opened up a new concept store in Harajuku section of Japan.

To commemorate the opening, lush has introduced five or six of the exclusive Lush Japan bath bombs at the Lush 2018 Creative Showcase. I’ll list them below and include links to the product article.

This new store will have 75 New, never been made before bath bombs, and 25 Retro bombs. It also has 100 new bubble bars.

Below i have a list of all thee bath bombs at this store and another list below that with all their bubble bars. I’ve used, made. tub demo and reviewed 80% of everything here.

here is a video i recorded of 33 of the bath bombs.

At this new store, after downloading a cool app,  one can hold their phone up to a bath bomb at this store and the price, name, description about the bomb come up, and allows one to order it.

then as one watches the bath bombs come through a conveyor belt that winds into the store and the customer can pick their bath bomb up!

I also hear that lush is playing with the concept of having this store only stocked with fan favorites, which change out every month.  Admittedly I may have one or two details confused as I am getting this information second and third hand.  I plan on asking Lush if this is true.  If it is what a great idea.

Collabing with @DahliaHayashi who has my photos of the six Lush Japan bombs that i received at the Lush 2018 Creative Showcase, on her blog. And now im using her photos of all the remaining Lush Japan new store bath bombs on my blog. 😊

Made with the Lush ‘Ginger’ fragrance. This used to be their sugnature fragrance when they were called ‘Cosmetics To Go’.

Its made with rose, ginger root.

Shijimi

Made with Lavender and Chamomile.

Smelling similar to Lush products ‘Peace’ massage bar, or a bit like Ickle Baby Bot bath bomb.

I’ll post more as i get more info on the scent.

Witch’s Cauldron

Witch’s Cauldron is a Lush Oxford Street Halloween 2018 exclusive. only 99 were made.

It’s called a fun bar, and it is a ‘FUN’ multi-purpose bar, but it also has three little bath bombs in it.

There is a total of six pieces; three shaped bath bombs and three colored sections of FUN.

It says on the instructions how to use it

So i formed a ‘kind of Cauldron’. lol. And i made little purple bombs or bubbles i’m not sure which 🙂

I put it at the bottom of the tub and i started filling it. When the water went in the cauldron the bath bomb i tucked inside began to bubble and it looked like a little cauldron!

Here’s a 58 second video i recorded

I then gathered it all together and smooshed it together and was able to use the whole thing as a bubble bar. I held it in the tub under the stream of water coming out of the faucet. it made a LOT of bubbles and i still had the entire thing left.

It looks like i hardly used any! The water turned green, then black!

Then i threw the last two tiny bombs into my tub. And my tub looked like a larger version of my little Fun cauldron!

It’s made with the Lush’Lord of Misrule’ scent; vanilla, patchouli & black pepper.

love it!
