This bath bomb has a minty scent. Lush says its the same scent ss their Salt & Peppermint Bark scrub. This is a picture i took of the Lush Salt and Peppermint Bark scrub, incase youve tried it youll know what hey hollywood smells like.
Its alright. Its certainly pretty. I like when Lush changes it up sometumes. For instance Lush made tge Luxury Lush Pud one year with the twilight scent and one year with the Comforter scent. I liked surprises like that. But…. This wasnt just changing the scent of something. This is melding the look of two completely different bath bombs. Which can be fun. Except when they replace the mermaid blue and gold water of Golden Wonder to a peach colored water with no sparkle.
Lush has released the ‘Golden Wonder’ bomb for Christmas every year for the past 10+ years. Why? Because its very popular. Whats not to love, it was a gold present.
So while i like a change i do wish they would bring the two original bombs back next Christmas 2022.
This is to replace the Golden Wonder Christmas bomb which has been sold every year for Christmas for the last 15 years or so. It looked like a gold Christmas present. And it had the Lush Champagne Snow Showers/Celebrate scent, which is a fizzy grapefruit or orange scent.
I try to show the colors as it fizzes in my picture below.
This Golden Pudding is like if Lush Luxury Pud and Golden Wonder had a baby.
3.5 out of 5 rating. Having the Lush Sleepy/Twilight scent. See my relaxing 3 minute Tub demo video below.
Tiny purple Lavender petals which Lush has coated in purple bath oil. I love when Lush is innovative.
I’m going to use it in the next couple of days and will record a Tub Demo Video of this Sleepy Bear so we can see what it does in the tub and what color it makes.
I would rate this a 3.5 out of 5 rating It’s cute, it has the Sleepy lavender, ylang ylang and tonka bean scent. It has oatmeal in it for soothing the skin. It doesn’t color the water. No glitter.
I had one together with a Lush Hippopotamus bath bomb.
This is one of three shower gels for Christmas 2021.
The ingredients list lists raisins as the first ingredients. Raisins? I don’t recall any raisins being in the original Plum Duff bath bomb but. 🤷🏼♀️
i LOVE this scent. It’s like a sexy but berryish and slightly sweet. Not citrussy, but fruity somewhat like The Comforter is fruity. Its got that same note that is in the Comforter shower gel that some people dont like. It’s a different scent than all the other Lush scent. At one time the bath bomb was my FAVORITE Lush product. It was made in 1999. 😊it’s got tangerine and sandalwood in it as i recall.
the bath bomb smelled like sexy sandalwood mixed with cotton candy or something.
But this Plum Duff shower gel isnt exactly like the original. But its still nice. Its a different scent for Lush Christmas shower gel, which i appreciate.
Here is the Plum Duff scent family Plum Duff bath bomb, Sugar Plum bath bomb, Plum Duff letters bath bomb, and It’s a Date bubble bat
3.5 out of 5 rating. See my video below where i (try) to describe it.
The scent of the Jilted Elf shower jelly used to have honey, vodka and sweet Fig in it. This jelly scent is such a very different scent. It’s a cacophony of notes but somehow they work together. figs, ginger, cinnamon, grapefruit, vodka and honey. it’s both fruity and spicy. i’ll be buying the christmas body spray.
All of those ingredients in the jelly aren’t in the ingredient list for the body spray.
The Body spray is also a challenging scent for me to to describe. It’s different than anything lush has made. It’s Quirky. It’s much better when it dries down. When it’s wet it’s more difficult for me to smell the notes. It’s got cinnamon, grapefruit, ginger and osmanthus, orange.
Jilted Elf body spray becomes sweeter and more resinous once it dries down. It’s got light medium staying power, but not much throw.
Lush description:
“Revel in this playful blend of sharp grapefruit to perk you up, and spicy cinnamon to get the blood pumping. Don’t leave this one behind this Christmas…”
Someone in my youtube comments described the scent well: Jalapeño Jelly Bellies
How to use: Spritz all over the body, avoiding the underarm area, for an instant pick-me-up!”

Cinnamon Roll
Lush made this Christmas bubble bar to smell and look like a cinnamon roll.
it smells like a bakery kind of cinnamon smell, and Not a red hot candies kind of cinnamon
This is new this year 2021. It’s a swirl of maroon and tan/gold color. I tried to show the gold glitter in this bar. It’s very very small glitter, and beautiful amidst the red color.
The swirls go all the way through the bar.
It’s a bigger than normal bubble bar, it’s the same bigger size as the Lush Blue Skies, Brightside, The Comforter, Snow Fairy. So i only used half for my bath.
The scent is quite fragrant. The ingredients sound like the same ingredients that are in the Lush classic Hot Toddy scent. However this bar has more a straight cinnamon smell. As i say in the video; it’s not cinnamon and orange , or cinnamon and mint, or cinnamon AND anything. It’s just straight cinnamon. I love it.
The gold glitter undulating in the red water 😍
The scent is nice even when i’m in the tub.
It makes loads of bubbles. it’s not particularly moisturizing. But it wasn’t drying to my skin either.
These are the Christmas products that are exclusive to the UK. USA didn’t do anything like this i guess. 🤷🏽♀️
Do Not look any further if you want the lush Christmas products to be a surprise. 😊
I’ve reviewed and have demo videos here of all the returning Christmas products. The Halloween 2021 products are here
I’ll be adding what kind of products these are very soon and group them by category ‘bombs, bubble bars, soaps’, etc. Then as usual i’ll be adding each product picture, description, scent family, etc. during the next days all the way up to Christmas.
All the Christmas 2021 bath bombs (except snow fairy)
Products will be available to purchase on the UK site the third week of September.
Its purple instead of green and it has a different scent than the previous years citrus scented Alien. The purple one has the damp squid scent.
The green ‘Alien’ bubble bar. Made for the first time for Winter Holiday 2021.
The thing about the Alien bubble bar is that you have to use it before it starts fading in color. This is because the color of the water won’t be this lovely bright green color, instead it will be a dark yellow color.
If the green color fades a bit the color of the water is going to be this yellow brown color, so getting a fresh one and using it right away is a good idea.
When the bar hasnt faded the water is more green
the scent is so nice! it’s a citrus scent with a green note.
Prepare to be transported to another world with mountains of uplifting and zesty bubbles. New dimensions await as neon waters refresh and revive with uplifting bergamot and litsea cubeba.
How to use: Crumble a little or the whole thing under running water for juicy, fruity neon water and out of this world bubbles.
How to store: Keep cool and dry until ready for UFO sightings and extra-terrestrial bathing.
Lush Pumpkin Spice soap. This soap was actually an exclusive in the October 2020 Lush Kitchen Subscription box last year. Im glad they made it for anyone to buy this year in 2021.
My slice from the October 2020 Subscription boxLush Kitchen October 2020 Subscription box
Here’s a pic of a Lush Pumpkin soap from 2008 that i bought for Halloween..
Pumpkin Spice soap. Different design for 2025. 😊
The shower gel has an extra creamy factor, moreso than the body spray. I like both but i like the shower gel a bit more.
I bought all of the community voted body sprays and pumpkin spice was one of them.
Pumpkin Spice Candle
I hope they sell this again for Halloween 2026 i didn’t buy it last Halloween.

‘Monsters Ball’ bath bomb and ‘Bewitched’ bubble bar are not returning this Halloween . 👀
Lush ‘The Sicilian’ bath bomb. Made in the early 2000’s. Discontinued about four years later.
this is one of five products here that are up for the vote for the August 2021 Lush subscription box.
This bath bomb was always a staple for me, and probably becuase my favorite smell is the smell of fresh peeled oranges.
Its a fast fizzing bomb not a slow melting creamy one. no bath art. no glitter.
This is made with four different orange ingredients: Mandarin, Orange, Neroli, and Tangerine. It also has marigold flower petals mixed in and an orange slice.
The reference comes from the book/movie ‘The Godfather’ which is about a mafia boss from Sicily (and one of my favorite movies). In it the director has something about oranges in every killing scene. 😊
Lush made asoap called Sunny Citrus which is in the same scent.
Lush 2005 Description: Why Sicilian? Well, we named it thus because of the organic Sicilian oranges we slice up and put inside each one and because its sunny colour and refreshing citrus scent remind us of the fruit trees in Sicily’s fertile valleys. We pack it with refreshing, uplifting orange, tangerine and mandarin oils to make us feel almost as good as if we were tootling around on a Vespa with the warm wind messing up our hairdo.
LT 2004: The Sicilian is a bath for brightening up dull days;even sunny days can appear dull when there’s nothing exciting to look forward to. If you know your’re going to spend all day in meetings, or in a room with no daylight or haivng tea with yoru dullest relative thake a Sicilian bath first. The reviving essential oils, made from Sicilian oranges, mandarins, tangerines and orange flowers will cheer you up so much you might actually find you enjoy yourself! Share citrus Sicilians with your co-workers and relatives and all your days will be summer.
Heres a picture i took of some of my Lush ginger things.
Ginger Cat bubble bar, Ginger soap, ginger lotion, ginger perfume, shower gel, gold bath oil bon bon, and bath bomb
This is a pic of mine in the white pot, but now they’re in black pots.
Lush ‘Ginger’ body lotion.
Ginger perfume is one of those products that lush started selling when they were called ‘Cosmetics To Go’ in the 90’s. It was VERY popular. Its made with rose, jasmine, ginger root. It’s a VERY floral scent. And a bitter floral, not a sweet scent.
Up for the vote for the August 2021 Lush Kitchen Subscription Box.
There are around 12 Lush products that i have had over the years which were made in this same Ginger scent.
I’ve had a love/hate relationship with this scent. I used to like it a lot. But now i don’t. I love rose, i love jasmine and i love ginger root, so i’m not sure why i don’t like it. It’s VERY strong.
