Sadie

5 out of 5 rating

For the gearheads that are feeling totalled. Cruise across zesty osmanthus absolute waters with the top down and feel ready to restart your engines.

This is one of 30 new limited edition bath bombs that Lush have created for world bath bomb day and the world bath bomb day.

Sadie has a new scent which is made from myrrh, labdanum, osmanthus, and mandarin orange. When i unboxed the bath bombs i bought Sadie was the scent that i noticed more than any of the others. At the time i thought it smelled like red lipstick. Maybe it was just in my mind but gosh what a great fragrance.

Its heavier than a regular lush round bath bomb.

Saide is red with red glitter all over it. So pretty.

The water at the end is red with red glitter.

Id buy another one or maybe more. I love the color.

Heres a two minute tub demo of it for you.

Taai Taai shower gel

5 out of 5 rating

I just realized today that i didnt have this in here on my blog.

Taai Taai shower gel is like a unicorn. Lush sold it in the Uk one time only back in 2006 or so. I had one bottle and after that it was gone. I just washed out the bottle of any last drops and then put it on my Lush shelves to stare at it and sigh occasionally.

More recently in 2023 or 2024 (i cant remember exactly which month) lush thankfully decided to remake it for one of the lush monthly subscription boxes. I’ve never been so happy to buy a monthly sub box.

It was made in the Netherlands as well once. Taai Taai is a Dutch Holiday Cookie. These chewy cookies taste are traditionally eaten for the Dutch winter holiday of Sinterklaas. They taste like the best gingerbread of your life, and thats what this Lush shower gel smells like.

Although along the same lines as Lush Hot Toddy shower gel and Glögg shower gel Taai Taai is a bit sweeter and spicier. Spicier in a grandma’s fresh baked gingerbread way. YUM.

Its a thicker shower gel which is a good thing.

I would buy multiple bottles of this. And on that basis alone this is a 5 star shower gel.

For me this is right up there with my favorite ‘gourmand’ type lush shower gels skinny dip, b never, posh chocolate, snuggles, and Sticky dates.

I think youre starting to feel me as far as the unicorn..ness of TaaiTaai shower gel.

Jamil

5 out of 5 rating

this smells amazing. its close to the Mama Mia body scrub in color and scent, but there is no vanilla on the ingredients list like there is in Mama Mia. Also, there are more things like sandalwood and pomegranates that are not listed in the mama mia scrub. So this is a slightly different scent.

Jamil is thinner than most body scrubs.

I loved using it. you just rub it on wet skin and rinse it off. there is good exfoliation with this but it’s not too scratchy, it’s just the right amount. And the fragrance that’s left on your skin is so yummy! I would definitely recommend.

grapefruit, pomegranate juice, pomegranate seed powder, geranium and sandalwood.

Carey’s Secret Garden

5 out of 5 rating

Lush has created another of their bombshell type bath bombs. I love this type. This one is a bright yellow one with some flower petals mixed throughout the bath bomb. Theres a colorful yarn ribbon tied around it to keep it secure and it looks cute.

Carey’s Secret Garden bath bomb has a nice citrussy floral fragrance. There is orange flower in it and cedarwood oil, vetivert, galbanum and oakmoss.

Its an uplifting kind of scent. Its not a sweet scent.

I love how loudly it fizzes. The fizzing sound is good. And i like to watch as it slowly fills up with foam and the foam make the flower petals pour out of it. SO pretty.

I have a medium size white plastic kitchen strainer that i use for catching the flower bits. It does a good, quick job.

The water turns a bright opaque yellow. No glitter.

The tub in my former home wouldve done good with usung half of this bomb and saving the other half for another bath on another day. The tub i have now is big enough to use the whole thing.

Heres a 2.5 minute video of it in the tub.

No more lush subscription boxes? Update: There WILL still be kitchen subscription boxes.

⭐️May 3 Its been clarified that the kitchen subscription boxes will go on after july as is usual.⭐️

May 2 I saw a chat text between a lush customer service person and a customer that someone posted yesterday inwhich the lush staff member said that July will be the last month of the lush subscription boxes. Not sure its true but ill add any updates i see.

Also, Apparently lush are creating some kind of ‘lush club’ to start in July. Didnt say what all the club entails, so when i see any updates on this ill add it here.
