Good Day Sunshine soap
3.5/4.0 out of 5 rating. See my sink demo and review video below.
Lush introduced this and other soaps online on their up site first and today this Good Day Sunshine and also Michelle Ma Belle soap are available in the U.S.
“Carved like an engraved offering to a Mayan Sun God, this vibrantly bright and beaming citrus-scented soap presents a thick crown of golden yellow bath bomb mix, which when used for the first time kisses your skin with fizzing foam, welcomed like warm rays on a summer’s day. The dazzling orange, vegan aquafaba base offers notes of sparkling lemon myrtle, zesty lime and uplifting neroli to flip your mood sunny side up, while exfoliating chia seeds offer a delicate polish that leaves skin feeling soft and bright enough to rival the sun. “
It doesn’t foam up as it says on the website. Lush has added bath bomb mixture to the soap so that it produces a nice shower bomb type of foam, but I couldn’t get either soap to foam up when I used them at the sink nor in the shower.
Regardless, I like using the soap.
It’s got the same scent as the ‘Brightside” bubble bar.
Michelle Ma Belle soap
3.5/4.0 out of 5 rating. See my sink demo video below.
Lush introduced this and one other soap (Good Day Sunshine) first in the uk, on their website, which is where I got mine. These two soaps along with four others were introduced first at the Lush Liverpool spa megastore, along with 350 other new products.
Today it’s available in the U.S..
Lush made this in the popular Christmas yog nog scent. I guess they decided to make the yog nog soap in a different look and make it permanent.
“Engraved like an Aztec monolith hidden deep within the jungle, this decadently creamy gold bar reveals a new world of soap for you to explore. An iridescent layer of shimmering shower bomb is pressed into the embedded labyrinth design, like sand covering a long-lost clue. But don’t blow it away like dust on an old map, instead revel in its fizz and rich, thick foam as you turn it this way and that under the warm running water, revealing the secret of its carved pathways. A treasure trove of rich aromas lies in store; spiced vanilla, butterscotch, dolcelatte. Gold clay merges with chunks of white Amazonian clay, filled with minerals and nutrients of the rainforest’s fallen fruits and leaves, together they cleanse and gently exfoliate, leaving the skin soft and revived. Digging a little deeper, other marvels emerge; castor oil, cocoa butter and coconut oil for a creamy lather that is sure to leave your hands, and everywhere else, with the Midas touch.”
I wonder why. Does this mean we won’t be getting yog nog soap for Christmas?
Regardless it’s a nice soap. I must say however that the bath bomb stuff they decided to add to the soap mixture doesn’t foam up as their description says. I demo’d two different pieces on my video below and neither of them ‘foamed up’.
The feel of the soap is very nice. I enjoyed washing with it in the shower.
Calacas jelly
Lush made Calacas jelly a few years ago. Originally we could get them in three different colors, but the calacas jellies that have been made in more recent years are green.
It has the same lime, neroli and Frankincense scent as the other Calacas scented products. Anything that has frankincense is right up me alley. Always. This scent is both citrusy (lime in particular) and has an almost perfume-y quality about it. Not gross perfumey, in fact this smells like those lime pastilles candy. Calacas is ravingly popular with the majority of lushies around the world.
The Lush Kitchen is making and selling them in the small size in their new “Lush Kitchen’, for one day only. The price including shipping is approximately $20.00-$22.00. You can buy with Paypal, and it automatically converts your dollars into the necessary Brithish Pounds amount
Here’s an 8 second video i made of Calacas (with sound)

Lush Times: Halloween, skeletons and the Day of the Dead: it all fits together perfectly like a fun and slightly macabre jigsaw! Calacas is a devilishly wobbly special for October made to bring back the dead from their long sleep…
Lush Brrr & Bam shower slime
3 out of 5
These were made by Lush UK only.
I love the scent of Nevermind the Ballistics. Alot of people were confused when they came out as an limited edition exclusive because people were expecting the blue one to be the minty one (brr, cold, blue) and Nevermind to be the Yellow one (since the nevermind bath bomb was half yellow), but they were the opposite.
Brr is minty and bam smells like a tropical fruit scent and frankincense.
As is usual for a lush slime these are thick but runny.
Heres a link to my demo and review video of them as i use them at the sink.
Yog Nog jelly
5 out of 5 rating
See my video below of this jelly 🙂
Lush introduced Yog Nog jelly in August of 2018. Lush may, or may not, have this available for Christmas 2019.
This is an opaque, single colored yellow jelly. It feels more conditioning than other Lush jellies.
Its made with Clove bud oil, and ylang ylang flower. It reminds me of the burnt sugar smell of a creme brulee dessert. Like egg nog with burnt sugar. Yummy.
Lush International has made many products in the yog nog scent.
