As I do every year I will build a list of Easter and Mother’s Day products below which points to my individual written and recorded video reviews and demos of each of the products :).
5 out of 5 rating. See my 3 minute demo video of this facial oil below.
This is a solid facial oil. Lush has introduced four kinds. Some of you might be famiar with the popular 7 step korean skin care method. I follow the korean beauty trend. I also have been using the facial oils from the U.S. brand Sunday Riley. I love what facial oils do for my face.
So i was excited that Lush had created their own facial oils. And Lush went a step further by making their facial oils packageless, and solid.
I got all of them from the Lush 2018 creative showcase in Manchester England.
I wanted to try this Banana Skin first to review for you, mostly because this one is what my skin needs. Its nourishing and moisturizing for drier skin.
Right off the bat i can feel the difference tapioca flour that Lush adds to their facial oils makes. It makes it more of a dry oil, which i Love. If theres one thing i hate its having greasy/oily stuff lingering too long on my skin.
The scent is like custard. Lush adds tonka bean to this blend. In face there are SO many good things in this bar.
Lush uses tincture of bananas, which is factory waste, in the banana skin facial oil.
This is a re-usable bubble bar for Valentine’s 2019.
Lush made this with their popular Yog Nog scent.
As i explain in the video, yog nog smells like a combination of eggnog and burnt sugar, like creme brulee topping.
While this reusable style doesnt have the yummy, squishy decadence that the yog Nog yule log bubble bar has, it does have that same amount of yummy scent.
I was impressed with how strongly this was scented even while i had it unddr the waterstream.
It made a TON of bubbles in my bath..and it didnt even look like it had been used at all!
So its QUITE econimcal to use.
They have a blue and yellow striped six bar and a pink and yellow striped bar.
The pink one made a lovely baby pink color to the water.
See my 8 minute video below. I worked very hard in this video to describe exactly what the scent smells like so you can make your best purchasing choices. 🙂
Here is a photo i took of the Lush products made in this scent.
the liquid version is on the thin side.
oddly i enjoyed washing with the naked version a bit more.
American Cream is a vanilla based scent which also has clary sage, and lavender as its scent components. The hair conditioner added strawberry. The other American Cream products have strawberry in them…but….American Cream products do not smell like strawberry. It’s made with strawberry, it’s not strawberry scented. And in the perfumery industry there IS a difference between those two sentences. :-
I like to make that clear, so that people won’t spend their hard earned money on something that they think will be strawberry scented, only to be disappointed when it’s not.
3.5 out of 5 rating. See my demo and review video below.
This has its own new scent which is made with almond essential oil, ylang ylang flower oil, orange oil, clove bud oil, and mashed banana. Along with shea butter and other skin moisturizing goodies to add the proper amount of slip for a massage.
I am living for the various fruit shaped products that Lush have been making and selling exclusively since Sept 2018
The Big Banana has a nice smell. It doesnt smell like banana runts candy. Its a light, more natural banana scent.
The consistency is oily.
Its not like sympathy for the skin in scent which is more earthy imo.
here is my video i recorded for you which helps explain the scent and shows the consistency.
love island is a sand based body scrub. Its a small one. It’s good that its smaller though because this style of scrub does tend to dry out faster. So one should use it right away or else cover it in an empty black lush pot.
Its a coarser grade scrub than many of lush different scrubs. But it makes sense that this one is made out of sand, since itssupposed to be reminiscent of an island after all.
Lush made this scrub with their Love fragrance which is a lemon, rose, jasmine, apple and cinnamon scent. I describe the ingredients on my video.
WoW. This is a perfect rendition of a peach. The way the bath bomb is designed and the shading of color that is placed on it. The gorgeous peach scent.
This is a bath bomb i couldnt resist. I know i cant be alone with my obsession of special shaped bath bombs.
And lately, in the last three months, Lush has been introducing many new, exclusive bath bombs which are fruit shaped. This Peachy bath bonb has got to be the most gorgeous one in my opinion. I had to buy moee than one because otherwide it would be simply too cute to use. I would just want to stare at it everyday. 🙂
I love the golden peach colored water. Its a slow foamy fizzer in the water as you can see in my tub demo video.
It also has a gorgeous peach colored shimmer.
Its not particularly conditioning but its not drying to my skin either.
heres my 2 minute tub demo
check out the shimmer
See my 6 minute sink demo of both the potted and naked versions video below.
I love that Lush made a body conditioner from one of its popular hair conditioner (American Cream) fragrance. And i like that they named it American Pie like the exclusive shower jelly from a couple of years back from lush.co.uk
The fragrance of it is akin to a vanilla milkshake. In fact the hair conditioner which started this all was made to mimic an American cocktail which tastes like a vanilla milkshake.
Lush has made more than a dozen different products in this same blend of vanilla, lavender, clary sage and strawberry juice.
Think of this as a hair conditioner for the body. In my demo video i show how to apply it and how to rinse it off.
This works well for me. I live in the desert southwest and my skin is VERY dry and this works really well at moisturizing without feeling greasy or oily.

I LOVE this new scent that Lush has created.
Theyve used it for Christmas in the Gingerbread Man Sparkle Jar, which im obsessed with.
Here’s my tub demo video, check out the glitter!
This is a reusable bubble bar, meaning you can use it more than once.
This was made with the yummy Gingerbread Sparkle jar scent. Its NOT the Lush floral ‘Ginger’ scent. This is a spicy yummy, Christmassy gingerbread scent.
If you have sore muscles or are cold this would be a good bath product to use because the ginger in this is nice and warming on the skin.
The bubble bar produces lots of bubbles.
You can use it for more than one bath but i used a whole one for my demo.
I love the gold shade water it makes, and i also love the gold sparkle it has too!
I stayed a little longer than i usually do in the bath just because of the therapuetic benefits of the ginger.
I would rate this a 4 out of 5. If it was a non-reusable, softer, smooshy type of lush bubble bar i would give it a 5 out of 5.

This is a WoW bath bomb for Valentines 2019. Its made in the Lush ‘Golden Pear’ fragrance. Its made with pear puree cardamom, and sandalwood.
All of Lush Golden Pear bath products have cocoa butter sandwhiched in the middle and this bar is no exception. This pear and cocoa butter mixture is Wonderful feeling. All silky and moisturizing.
It Smells like a juicy pear.
I love that Lush made this bath bra to look like the outfit that designer Jean Gaultier made for Madonna back in the day.
Usually bubble bath products that have more moisturizing things in them dont produce enough bubbles. But this bubble bar syrprisingly in an exception.
I tried to show in my tub demo just how many hubbles this produced. Very pleased!
The water has a subtle gold shimmer in it and its a light goldrn yellow color.
Aubergine is what the people in the Uk call Eggplant. it’s an eggplant shaped bath bomb…for Valentine’s 2019.
It’s made in the Lush signature ’29 High Street’ perfume fragrance.
Lush sells an exclusive perfume that is made to smell like a lush store. it has that Lush smell.
Pia, the lovely person who created the original scent (called HQ) explained to me how she created the scent, and what lush store product scents were used to create the fragrance. Karma, Honey i washed the kids, happy hippy, etc.
The result is a sweet, orange citrus with a floral background. it’s strong, heady and perfume-y. The fragrance has lots of expensive ingredients.
it does indeed smell just like a Lush shop.
This bath bomb produces a slow foaming fizz, with hues of purple, green, pink and blue. And a drop dead gorgeous hue of deep, jewel toned purple, with purple shimmer throughout.
the liquid version is on the thin side.
