Sleepy soap

4 out of 5 rating

This soap was made exclusively for the New Lush Liverpool mega store, but Lush Uk decided to offer this on their retail website for anyone who wished to purchase one.

Naturally i had to buy one.

It was made in the classic Lush Twilight fragrance.

The fragrance components are lavender, tonka bean (which smells caramel-ish), and ylang ylang.

The blend is floral, herbal with a subtle creamy background. Its only very subtley sweet.

When washing with it this has a creamy consistency. It makes loads of lather.

I recorded a relaxing ASMR style 8 mi ute review and demo video, just for something different.

Even if you dont like asmr videos it does show how it lathers up at the sink on my arm and hands.

Sex Bomb shower gel

4 out of 5 rating

This is one of six exclusive shower gels that Lush.co.uk made ‘just because’ from community favorite bath bombs

Honestly, This is the shower gel i was the least excited about. Ive seen sex bomb in one form or another for 17 years. *yawn*

However, i was in for a surprise when i used this for the first time.

Firstly, it has this quite unexpected pink shimmer to it. SO pretty. The bath bomb that this shower gel was named after doesnt have any glitter nor shimmer so this was a pleasant surprise. its not glitter like in Intergalactic shower gel, this is *shimmer*, more subtle than glitter. Beautiful. I just keep gazing at it in the light.

Secondly, the scent isn’t as complex as rhe bsth bomb scent. That said-this is what i could call a classically ‘pretty’ scent. Its feminine and floral. Having rose, and jasmine florals. The herbaceousness of the sage is kind of missing, and the ylang ylang isnt coming across at all to me but….i dont care because this floral shower gel scent has great ‘throw’. Its not a sweet scent. Just floral.

And more importantly two hours after my shower im getting compliments about how i smell at the grocery store, and from my husband. He said it smells sexy.

I SEE you Sex Bomb shower gel! ❤️

Turmeric Latte shower gel

3 out of 5 rating

I love the creamy goodness of the Lush Turmeric Latte bath bomb, so i was excited to get the shower gel.

Upon examination i was surprised there wasn’t glitter in this particular shower gel, since the bath bomb makes TONS of gold glitter in the bath water.

The scent is one of those sort of non-descript scents. Its a cross between perfume-y and food-y.

It smells like a combination of mens cologne and pie.

Yes.

So its a very different kind of scent. It’s scent does seem to cling onto the skin long after my shower. I can smell it on my arma couple of hours after my shower.

Since turmeric latte isn’t made with coffee, nor chocolate it doesnt smell like an American Cafe Latte. Turmeric is a spice used in indian cooking and other foods. Its what lends the golden color.

Tumeric latte is made with golden milk.

And thats what this scent smells like.

While i like it and will use it, i don’t love it. Its nice and confitioning to my skin, moreso than the other Lush shower gels. And its consistency is nice and thick.

‘cream

5 out of 5 rating. See my 4 minute Tub Demo with relaxing music below.

This solid bath oil”‘cream” is one of many new bath oils (and 300+ other products) from Lush exclusive to the new biggest Lush store in the world at the Liverpool spa.

Lush Uk decided to sell it on their retail website for sny of us who wanted to buy one. I bought two.

Apparently its sold out on the site now. Im hoping they release it for Halloween 2019.

Its made with Almond essential oil and ylang ylang, and is said to smell cherryish. Indeed it foes dmell cherryish. Originslly i thought this might be American Cream scented, but it isn’t. I noticed there is ylang ylang in here, which American Cream does not have. And the strawberry, lavender and sage which are in American Cream, are not in ‘cream. So i asked Lush and verified that this is a similar but a different scent.

I didnt realize it would make purple water!

Thefe is also a silver sparkle in the wster too.

I would recommend this. The color is nice and the scent is nice.

Heres my tub demo video

Groovy Kind of Love shower gel

3 or 4 out of 5 rating

Some days i think it a 4, and other days i think its a 3.

This is one of six shower gels that Lush made just because, from our favorite in-store bath bombs.

While im quite enamored with the woody, fruity scent of the bath bomb, the scent in the shower gel doesnt quite translate tjat similarly. That said its still a good smelling shower gel. It translates to a straight up bubble gum scent.

The look of the bomb is a rainbow of bright colors, and so the bath bombs scent is also multi layered with contrasting notes of woodiness and fruitiness.

The shower gel isnt quite as much of a mixture of notes as it is a muddiness of scents. Intetestingly this blending becomes bubblegum.

My husband is even less impressed by this shower gel, he does NOT like the scent. He says it smells like bad breath. Yikes. I dont get that at all but your mileage may vary. *closes the lid of the bottle with a loud snap*

Its a nice thick bright orange shower gel.

It doesnt have glitter because the bath bomb has no glitter.

If you like bubblegum scents you’ll love this shower gel.

Intergalactic shower gel

4 out of 5

I show the Intergalactic bath bomb in my photo below. The bsth bomb came first and was sold as a regulr year round item in all stores for a couple years. The shower gel came next as an exclusive Lush community product.

Lush made six shower gels from six popular bath bombs. Intergalactic being one of the six.

The bath bomb is very popular because of its looks and its scent. Its cobalt blue and full of Glitter. Like a planet, in space, amongst the sparkly stars. Its a nice consistency its not a thin gel.

The bath bomb is sweet, minty, woody and citrussy. However, the shower gel loses some of its sweetness, and its woodiness in the translation. So the shower gel is minty and herbal with a jint of grapefruit. Not as sweet though, and not as layered in scent.

But nice smelling nonetheless. ❤️

Trying to show the sparkles in my photos above and below.

In this short video clip show the gels consistency by pouring it in a bowl.

Lush has made an Intergalactic bubble bar in 2024 as well as an Intergalactic ‘showder’ (shower powder soap), and an exclusive Intergalactic soap from the 2017 yearly Lush creative showcase event.

Guardian of the Forest shower gel

4 out of 5 rating

Lush Guardian of the Forest bath bomb is one of my favorite green scents.

I am very excited that Lush included Guardian of the Forest in their newest ‘we’re making shower gels of your favorite bath bombs just because’.

As i state in my video i think of GOTF as a new classic Lush green scent. Its both deep green but also bright with cypress.

Its a translucent gel. I was somewhat disppointed that it doesnt have glitter since the bath bomb has emerald green glitter but its not a huge deal because im just glad to have a nice green smelling shower gel to enjoy!

It smells like I’m in a forest or a fairy glade only not quite as woody as the bath bomb.

Rosewood, oakmoss, cypress, and lime.

The gel is nice and thick and it lathers up nicely on my skin.

Its such a soothing, grounding scent.

“The forest is alive. Can you hear the trees whispering the secrets of the earth to you? They beckon you onward. Feel the carpet of cool, thick moss beneath your bare feet as citrus sunlight breaks through the trees ahead, gilding the world in dappled gold and green. Follow the footsteps of a mysterious creature and emerge into a clearing, a trickling waterfall in a glade of rosewood and cypress – the heart of the forest. Let the ethereal tranquility surround you as you step beneath the water, earthy oakmoss and cleansing lime washing away any trace of the world beyond. It’s just you and the trees.”

Lush Cookie Dough Body Scrub

5 out of 5 rating

“Who needs the cookie jar when you can fulfil your sweet cravings with Cookie Dough body scrub? An irresistibly inviting blend of comforting vanilla absolute, softening cocoa powder and mouthwatering hydration to the skin and a satisfying sugar fix. A dash of coarse granulated sugar, a pinch of superfine sea salt and a handful of silky cornflour is a batch made in heaven, whipping up the creamiest of lathers and gently buffing the skin for a velvety touch. You’ll go nuts for a triple serving of toasted hazelnut oil, protective pistachio oil and fruity almond essential oil, releasing waves of sweetly-scented cherries that delicately blossom on the skin. This scrub really takes the biscuit, who says you can’t enjoy baked goods in the bathroom?”

I recorded a demo and review video for you under good lights up at the sink on my arm here at this link

Smells great! Feels great!

I couldn’t help myself and i tasted it, its vert salty lol.

Im very glad i was able to buy one. I actually bought two. Im having a giveaway on instagram of one pot.

Conga jelly

4 or 5 out of 5 rating

Lush has introduced five or six jellies at their new Superstore at the Liverpool Spa.

All having Dance names. Conga is the pink one andis made with Raspberry juice!

It also has vanilla, davana oil, and bergamot.

Initially i thought this might be a scent twin of raspberry milkshake soap however ive asked and it isn’t. To me this jelly smells more like raspberries and cream instead of just straight raspberry. It seems more yummy.

It seems like its more conditioning than other lush jellies because of the moisturizing davana oil and skin softening carageenan seaweed.

I recorded a 4 minute video showing you how it looks out of the container. I also show how to wash with it at the sink.

“Come on shake your jelly baby, use this Conga! You can’t resist this sweet-scented lather any longer. Feel as almond milk makes your skin softer, don’t you fight it ‘til you’ve tried it! Lather up with this sweet treat.

No need to form a line to experience the fabulously foamy washes of this wibbly treat. Brightening raspberry juice and vanilla absolute add a sweet note, while almond milk ensures skin feels hydrated.”

List of ingredients

Bongo

5 out of 5 rating.

This is a new shower jelly, one of five whivh were i troduced at the new Lush Mega store at Lush Liverpool Spa.

This is another wonderful coconut scented Lush shower jelly, but different than the pineapple and coconut ‘Big Calm’ jelly. This Bongo jelly seems even creamier to me when i compare them side by side.

Bongo has a completely different scent than Big Calm. Bongo has mango in it as one of its main ingredients. I can smells the mango. I smell more coconut than mango though. And theres is coconut milk in here.

This Bongo jelly smells even more like coconut! It also seems to be more moisturizing.

You can see the different layers of color in my video below.

“For tropical fun and foam, you just can’t beat Bongo shower jelly! Packed with fresh, cleansing mango juice, and gently moisturising coconut milk, it’s the perfect cocktail of upbeat ingredients. There’s no need to drum it into you, once you’ve tried this sunny, skin softening shower jelly you’ll know there’s no bon-going back. ”

Dirty scrub

5 out of 5 rating See my sink demo vodeo beñow.

Lush has introduced 350+ new products at their NEW Megastore at the Liverpool SPA store. This body scrub is one of these exclusive products.

The Lush Labs decided to sell some of the exclusive products that were at this store online for a limited time only. So i bought two scrubs. Dirty and Easy Peeler.

Lush designed the Dirty scrub to look just like a kitchen sponge. I love that! The yellow side is smooth and the green side is a little rougher.

These are so much better than the sugar scrub domes that lush used to make. Those older style scrubs become so hard and scratchy that using them more than a couple times becomes a challenge. Not so with this scrub.

The sugar seems to be mixed in with the cocoa butter mixture, not just sitting on the top layer.

This Dirty scrub was made with the ‘Dirty’ fragrance. Lush has made many things in their clasdic Dirty fragranxe. The fragrance is made with herbs, lemon, mint. It smells natural, earthy, herbal, lemony and minty.

The scrub bar doesnt fall apart or become a mess after one use, it stays the same and so i just kerp it in my soap dish or on top of a black pot lid.

It exfoliates my rough, dry dead skin and then moisturizes the skin thats left with moisturizing cocoa butter.

I love it! I would rate this a 5 out of 5.

Heres a videp i recorded of me using it

Easy Peeler

5 out of 5 rating

Lush has introduced two or more new exclusive body scrubs at their new mega store in the Lush Liverpool spa. This ‘Easy Peeler’ body scrub is one of them.

It smells and looks like an orange. Slightly sweet. These new Lush sugar scrubs are much less hard and scratchy than their former style of sugar scrubs.

These are for exfoliating rough dry skin and also conditions for moisturizing the smooth skin that is left behind.

I recorded a close up sink arm demo of it for you below to see how it works.

The exfoliating is done with sugar crystals that are mixed in with the cocoa butter. So its a gentler scrub than the former more agressive lush scrub bars.

I would recommend these. They dont fall apart after one use. These can be used again and again a few times without becoming a mess.

My skin feels soft, not greasy and moisturized. I dont feel like i have something on my skin. It just feels like my skin, only moisturized and soft.

Cookie Dough lip scrub

4 or 5 out of 5 rating

This smells EXACTLY like real cookie dough.

As i describe in my video below, it tastes more like a genersl bakery goodness as this lip scrub is made with almond, vanilla, hazelnut and cocoa.

Its nice consistency makes it easier to appky than some lush lip scrubs because it adheres to your finger better so youre able to pack it on your lips easier. It hold together more because there is extra moisturizing goodies in here.

Here is my demo and review of it. I hope it helps decide if you do or don’t want to purchase it. 🙂

“If you’re a fan of getting your hand stuck in the cookie jar, get your fingers stuck into this cocoa and vanilla lip scrub! Polish your pout to absolute perfection with a combination of course granulated sugar and superfine sea salt. An intriguing blend of vanilla, almond essential oil, carob and fir balsam creates a mouthwatering baked goods flavour that really takes the biscuit. You’ll go nuts for the blend of shea butter, toasted hazelnut and pistachio oils that all work wonders to make your lips feel hydrated and protected while creating the buttery biscuit base of this lip-smacking treat.”

Lush Uk made an exclusive body scrub selling it for one day only online, so i bought one. Yummy!

Turmeric Latte

5 out of 5 star rating

Lush introduced this bath bomb alongside 33 other bath bombs at their concept store in Harajuku Japan.

This bomb is SO lushious, creamy andcomforting to bathe in. Just like bathing in a real turmeric latte with golden milk.

5 out of 5 star rating. A Turmeric latte is not like a regular American latte like we have here in the U.S. Alot. A turmeric latte is made with golden milk, not coffee or chocolate. So its not chocolatey, its not coffeeish, not earthy, not spicy. More ‘comforting’ kind of like Butterball, but not butterball exactly. I hope that helps.

yummy.

This is a slow fizzing bomb. It almost made my mouth water with its unfurling cream and golden lustre.

The water feels creamy like golden milk.

I love playing with it and smearing some of the latte froth on my arms.

I couldnt stop looking at this huge bubble that cropped up, it lasted forever!

This is what i call a luxurious bath.

If you havent already, do yourself a favor and find a creamy turmeric latte to drink.

There are even mixes.

The glitter was mesmerizing.

Hear tell Lush is going to be making some super special shower gels soon for us to buy, and Turmeric Latte shower gel is rumoured to be one of them! Lets hope so! I cant imagine how creamy and lushious it will feel.

two shots of the gold sparkle close up and farther away.

I Want a Pony

5 out of 5 rating

See my 2 minute tub demo below.

I Want a Pony bath oil is one of 350 new products introduced at the new Lush Megastore in liverpool spa.

It was made with the scent of “The Comforter”, which has cassis, black currant and bergamot. Lush has made many products in this popular scent, starting with the bubble bar in 2006.

It doesnt have that odd note that is in some comforter products. No, this is just smooth berrylicous goodness.

Its made with cocoa butter and other good for your dry skin things.

It leaves a soft pink colored water. No sparkle.

I love this!

Heres a video of it melting in the hot bath water.

Dont order this during the hot months or it may arrive melted.

Careful getting out of the tub as it may be a bit more slippery

Calm a Llama Party Pinata

5 out of 5 rating see my 2 minute tub demo vid below.

This was made in the Calacas scent. Lime, neroli and frankincense. It smells like perfume-y, resinous limes.

I love the bright pink, orange and yellow (calacas colors) colors which combine to create a dark orange color.

It has a nice strong, true calacas scent!

He has little confetti in him that float in the water. My camera wasnt able to pick thoe up.

Heres a video of it
