Salam

Shower gel 3.5 out of 5

Soap 4 out of 5 rating

Body Spray 4.5 out of 5 rating

This was made to smell like the drink Vimto.

This shower gel was made by Lush for Eid, and its very fruity smelling.

Its got Raspberry juice, Grape juice, lime, orange, davana, and blackcurrant oil.

It smells alot like VERY sweet grape juice with some black currant in it like the comforter and then a bit of raspberry juice. If you don’t like very sweet smelling lush things you may not like this. But the yummy fruitiness is good imo. The drink Vimto is made with the same fruits: black currant, raspberry, grape juice, orange, and then lush adds davana oil and lime. I’ve never had Vimto, i don’t think it’s sold here in the U.S. because i’ve never seen it.

As an ex drinker the grape juice can sometimes smell wine-ish, which is usually off putting to me. I like the body spray even more than the shower gel, it’s not as heavy smelling.

Smitten

5 out of 5Ingredients: Chamomile Matricaria Infusion (Chamomilla recutita), Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Marigold Infusion (Calendula officinalis), Cold Pressed Flaxseed Oil (Linum usitatissimum), Glycerine, Stearic Acid, Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Cetearyl Alcohol, Cold Pressed Wheatgerm Oil (Triticum vulgare), Cold Pressed Avocado Oil (Persea gratissima), Coconut Butter (Cocos nucifera), Lanolin, Beeswax (Cera alba), Benzoin Resinoid (Styrax benzoin), Rose Absolute (Rosa centifolia), Cassie Absolute (Acacia farnesiana), Triethanolamine, *Benzyl Benzoate, Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

* Occurs naturally in essential oils

 

Whereas Helping Hands is given a high rating because of the miraculous way it works, Smitten deserves high ratings simply for the way it smells and the overall presentation. It’s like rubbing Marzipan paste all over you but creamier. It’s as thick as the Lush  Helping Hands hand cream, you could stand a spoon in either one of them. And I must say I was surprised at how well it worked. No, it still doesn’t work as well as Helping Hands, but i dont care because it smells heavenly.

 

Lush 2006 Description: Last year, Mark, our top bod at Lush (he has no official title but we all know who’s boss) asked the Lush forum for a list of beautiful words. Smitten was one of them. The forum members asked Mark for a lighter, daytime hand cream scented with the same deliciously mouth-watering fragrance as Snowcake soap. Fairie’s fair. Now we have a beautiful new hand cream with a beautiful name made with natural oils and butters for a longer term benefit for your mits. (Note to non-mother tongue English speakers: mittens are like gloves but with one big finger instead of the usual four so Smitten is a hand protector pun as well as a lovely name. Just so you know.

 

 

Shaun the Sheep

I bought the bath bomb, body balm and bubble bar online today and when i get my order ill add my pictures, reviews, ratings, etc. 😊

Bitzer body balm – Whats Up Doc scent

Mossy Bottom body spray – Grass scented

Naughty Pigs jelly – Muddy Carrots scent

Shaun the Sheep – Summer Blues

Sleepy Timmy – Deep Sleep

Troublesome Tractor – Gardener soap

These are the three i bought from this collab.

‘ Shaun the Sheep’ bath bomb

After about a minute he starts spewing a lovely green foam

Hes upside down in the tub 😄

Shaun has the scent of Lush ‘Summer Blues’ bath bomb and summer blues liquid bath oil. A fresh summery kind of floral, with a hint of herbal brightness and

Whats left is a bright green water.

I enjoyed this. It was different. The Summer blues scent was always beautiful. Shaun isnt as strongly scented as the original however. But It smells good and he is adorable. I would rate this a 4 out of 5

‘Sleepy Timmy’ bubble bar 5 out of 5 rating

Oh my gosh this has a great smell of the Lush ‘Deep Sleep’ shower jelly. Its very herbal in the best way. Lavender oil, lavender absolute, neroli to lend a subtle orange like citrus note, and chamomile.

His eyes stayed until the very end. There was a very light amount of sparkle in the water. The scent was nice and strong.

Timmy has the scent of Lush Deep Sleep jelly

It made a decent amount of bubbles. 😊

Black water with a very subtle sparkle

‘Bitzer’ Body Balm

This body balm smells so good. This is the second body balm from lush that ive gotten to buy. The other one is the pineapple from the Spong Bob collab, its one of my favorite products. This one is very good too. It slips on like silk, its not too greasy or heavy. It feels light on the skin and the scent stays on the skin for a decent amount of time. I like that.

Its got lime, violet, bergamot, mango butter, carrot juice. Its the same scent as the ‘Whats Up Doc’ shower gel from Easter 2024.

Sticky Banana body wash

This is the exclusive product in the monthly lush kitchen February 2025 subscription box.

It smells like version of banana Runtz candy.

Its now in my ‘top five lush smoothies’ list.

Its more moisturizing, and not too exfoliating. Also its silky feeling and absolutely no greasiness.

If i had unlimited funds id stock up and buy another one or two.

I like the creamy texture.

Its got banana, coconut cream, sandalwood, and benzoin. There was also a lush cosmetics sticky banana soap too that was sold at the Lush Oxford superstore in 2014. I had a piece back then and it does smell the same.

Love Struck

5 out of 5 rating

Every Valentines for the past 5 yesrs or more lush makes a large heart shaped hollow bomb. This year they changed the namr and called it Love Struck. This year there’s an arrow that runs through it. 😊

There is a hold that the arrow fits into, inside the hole is a blue bath bomb powder.

You can empty the blue bath bomb mixture into the tub and then part of the bath bomb, or you can look

This bath bomb was made with the Comforter scent.

This made some beautiful bath art, with swirls of pink, yellow and blue.

Nice foam

The blue, yellow, and blue green combine to make a purple pink water. No glitter.

Strawberry Crumble

5 out of 5 rating

This cute strawberry first came out when the Lush Harajuku concept store opened. Lush UK also had them for sale on their website, so that’s where I bought a couple, a few years ago.

Its one of the kinds of lush bubble bars which have two halves, which are put together with pink cocoa butter sandwhiched in the middle .

Heres another one with white in the middle.

Its super cute and It smells like that wonderfully fruity scent of the You Shall go to the Ball bath bomb below from a couple of years ago, including the creamy center.

the Lush Butterfly bomb is also made in the same scent

You can use a half per bath, or you can use the whole thing in one go.

It’s more moisturizing than other lush bubble bars because of the cocoa butter. It made a good amount of bubbles.

Makes a pretty medium pink colored water with no sparkle.

I wish it would’ve filled up my whole bath with that scent.

Whispering Heart bath bomb

4 out of 5 rating

Lush introduced Whispering Heart last year at Valentines and it has returned this year!

Its abeautiful pink color. No sparkles.

The scent of Whispering Heart is the Rhubarb and Custard soap.

Its a lovely, refreshing yet sweet and fruity.

The water turns into a warm pink. It was beautiful.

Tunnel of Love

5 out of 5 rating

(not to be confused with another completely different Lush product also called Tunnel of Love which is a soap with a completely different scent)

The front and back

I would buy more than one of these.

Its made with the lush sultana/blackberry bomb scent. 😊

Great purple sparkly water

My 2 minute tub demo of this beauty.
