Turmeric Latte Ive got the perfume but haven’t reviewed it I guess. In the meantime here’s the bath bomb and shower gel. The Tumeric Latte perfume smells just like the Tumeric Latte bath bomb and the shower gel.
Unfortunately i got the order from Lush usa that i bought, but the items are not looking good. Ive put in an email to Lush to see what they can do, otherwise ill just have to review them like this and do the unboxing vid with them the way they are.

This icy mint & bright lavender bubble bar was sold as a Limited edition Christmas bubble bar 2002.
Lush Times 2003 description: You really have to go to a Lush shop to see this: it’s an amazing 20kg sculpture of Bubble Bar Slice, homage to the Ice Hotel in Sweden. Each slice — shame to cut it up but we have to — smells deliciously of mint and lavender for a sensationally stimulatling bubble bath. If you go to a shop you can buy a whole Ice Hotel ‘room’ to decorate and perfume your bathroom.
It was remade for forum members one time only as a special one large piece. The three pieces in my photos are ones i got from that big Christmas display piece.
It was remade again for the Lush Kitchen subscription box in 2014.
Lush got the idea for this bubble bar from the Hotel of the same name located in Quebec Canada. There is also an Ice Hotel in Sweden. It’s an actual building, a ethereally beautiful one, made of ice.
The Lush Ice Hotel bubble bar is a perfect marriage of lavender and mint. It’s smells refreshing and calming. It doesn’t get much better.
3 different pieces.
Ice Hotel 2006
its up for the vote for the June 2023 lush kitchen subscription box. the one that the Lush 2023 sub box will be making is a window piece.
This is a new product for Valentines 2023. My short Tub Demo Video is coming and will be attached to this post shortly.
This is a Lush bath melt. Lush has had many different designs of bath melts through the yearsz This Love Island bath melt is reminiscent of their original cupcake shaped bath melts. Their most famous cupcake type is called ‘Floating Island’. So tou can see the play on words of ‘Love Island.
Floating island is a dessert. And Love Island is the name of a reality show in England about couples on an island.
The scent if Love Island is that of the Lush Keep it Fluffy’ Lush has made the perfume a few times throughout the years since 2004 when they opened their sister company ‘B Never Too Bust To Be Beautiful’.
The fragrance is a floral and fruity combination made with rose, lemon, jasmine, bergamot.
Lush has created many kinds of different products in the scent. Their sister company B Never also made candles, incense, liquid bath oil, bath powder, etc.
The Love Island bath melt spins around the tub 😊
This bath melt’s scent isnt very strong. Its nice, but it could be stronger imo.
The bath melt is a rose color with tiny silver sparkle mixed throughout.
I would give this a 4 out of 5. Mostly because i love the shape, the look, and the scent.
Hi y’all. Heres my unboxing video where i go through each product describe it and rate it.
As i do every year ill also start listing each product in alohabetical order down below over the next few days and will have pics and reviews of the products along with close up Demo Videos of each.
There are a combination of returning Valentines Lush products and New Valentines products. All of them are limited time.
See my 2 minute Tub Demo Video towards the bottom of this page to see what it looks like 😊
This is such a pretty color of pink! Its scent is made primarily with Tonka bean. So its kind of vanilla like. It reminds of the scent of the Lush Pink Fun bar. Its not a strong scent but its not so faint that you cant smell it either.
There is no glitter in this bomb which is nice for a change.
It was one of those rolling around the tub bath bombs which is fun. The activity lasted a goid amount of time which i love.
This bath bomb is so funny looking. Its made with neroli, lime and frankincense: the Lush ‘Calacas’ scent. Calacas is a classic Lush Halloween product scent. Calacas represents the time of year of Dio De Los Muertos/Day of the Dead.
Its a beautiful swirling pink and blue color. Its a slow, foaming type of bath bomb. And it has fine silver sparkle shimmer in it. The end result is a deep purple water. Gorgeous.
This is a fun bath bomb, looking like a Spaceship ufo. Its got a fruity scent made with lemongrass and black currant. Its almost like a derivative of the Lush ‘Space Girl’ bath bomb scent. But UFO has a bit more citrus.
Salt crystals
Its got green salt crystals inside of it. Its got a top on it so you can pour some of the salt in your bath for softening the water, or you can just out the too in for one bath and the yellow saucer part for another bath, or you can out the whole thing in.
Heres a tub demo video that i recorded
It looks like some kind of desert at this ‘starting to foam’ stage. 😊
Initially its a quiet, slow foaming yellow bath bomb, and then the small blue top is a fast, fizzy type of bath bomb.
The end result is a cool, alien/nuclear/UFO green color.
It was a fun bomb. I would buy another one perhaps.
I love that not only do we have a Ufo to bath with this year, we also have an Alien bubble bar this year to bath with. The two together would make a cool ‘bath cocktail’ in my opinion!
Screamo was made with the Happy Blooming scent. It snells cherryish. Its actually made with ylang ylang flower oil and almond essential oil, and the combination of those makes it smell cherryish.
There is also a Screamo bubble bar with the same name as this bath bomb only in bubble bar form. I liked the bubble bar, but i like this bath bomb even more.
Its one of those slow melting bath bombs with great bath art in the tub.
I like the smell and i like the look and i would by one or two more.
It doesnt stain the sides of my tub or anything. I was surprised it didnt because its such a dark blue but it was a breeze to rinse out.
😊Ill start adding product info today and will add info as i get it. First i’ll add links to the returning Christmas products in this list that ive already reviewed in this blog and taken photos of so you can see how they look in use.
Then when these products are available to buy on Lush North America site ill buy them and do a video of the unboxing when they come in, and then ill take photos of each product and create short videos demoing each product.
Got my order! Heres my unboxing video. 😊

Winter Holiday (Halloween and Christmas) bath bombs
If you use this list info please credit me, I really appreciate it.
As i do every year, i’ll buy the products below and add pics and demo videos, reviews as soon as i get them and use them. 😊
Lush remade two favorites from last Mother’s day 2021; Atom Heart Mother, and Rose Gold. They have the same look and same name, and i’m assuming the same scent, but you never know sometimes Lush likes to trick us. lol
There’s a familiar looking bath bomb that looks exactly like the bubble bar of the same name and scent as last year, only this year it’s a bath bomb not a bubble bar. It’s ‘Jasmine’ bath bomb. I think i have one Jasmine bubble bar still from last year so it would be nice to have a bath with the bath bomb AND the bubble bar. 👏🏼
What are you most excited about? Is there anything you don’t like?
I’m wary of the Wonder Mum eye pad. I hope it’s not like the lip mask Lush made for Valentine’s day that did not work.
The Yummy Custard body wash sounds good to me. And i can’t wait to see what the soap smells like!
I’m hopeful about the shower gel. The products that Lush makes with Mimosa in them, like Rub Rub Rub scrub or Sakura bath bomb, are nice, but maybe this is a different Mimosa scent than those.
Enjoy the sights and scents of a summer’s day, from dawn to dusk and into the glorious warm night, in your bathtub. I assume it’s the same appley So White or Once Upon a Time scent as last year’s, but we shall see.

This is a lip mask. A lip mask is a new (ish) way for hydrating your lips. Just like sheet masks hydrate your face. I’ve been using lip masks from various different K Beauty brands for a couple of years and use them pretty regularly on my self care days.
“Softer, smoother lips are a must whether it’s Valentine’s Day or not, because who doesn’t want kissable lips all the time? Hot Lips is made with loads of glycerin so it’s mega hydrating, while natural ground bamboo stem extract delivers a super-fine polish to scrub away any unwanted dry bits. Plus, it tastes like sweet cherries. But don’t take our word for it; ask a willing friend to try it out.
And this is their instructions for use on the uk lush online purchase product website.
“Designed for one-time use, simply pop the mask over your lips and let the ingredients to get to work for a few minutes. Once you’re done, buff the product across your lips until you feel the bamboo. Then, lick your lips or rinse away any residue.”
The scent of this lip mask is so good. It smells like another Valentines product from two years ago called ‘Kiss Me Quick’. It’s what i would call a lipstick mixed with cherry. I love the smell.
So on to how it works. So i unpacked it from its little envelope.
It feels nice. I noticed it doesn’t have any liquid, or gel, nor any kind of serum on it or in it.
I thought that was different for a lip mask. The ones i’ve tried weren’t dry like this. At the very least it shoulve been damp. So it wouldn’t stick to my lips whatsoever. Lush’s instructions say to ‘put it on your lips for a few minutes’ and let it moisturize or hydrate yoyr lips.
So since it didnt dtay on i tried just holding it in place with my hand. I even tried it lying down so it would stay on my lips.
Nothing happens. Literally nothing. My lips were dry just like they were before i put the mask on.
There wasnt even any product on my lips. There wasnt even any residue! How is this even possible?
I tried wetting it a little bit. Nope. No change. Still didnt stick to my lips.
Im so confused as to how this works.
Hmm. There was what looked like liquid or color that seeped into the envelope that it was in. Maybe thats the issue? Dunno.
It sure is cool looking in the sun!
I dont know its possible im just being dumb but i didnt really get it. 🤷🏽♀️Id rate it a 2 out of 5 rating.
Heres my Demo video i nade for you showing how it looks and feels close up.
I apologize. I just could not place this scent correctly initially.
You know what really messed with my head? Well, for Easter holidays past Lush has made carrot looking bubble bars. And so when i first smelled this Kim the Carrot on my Valentine’s 2022 Haul video I. DiD. NOT. LIKE. IT.
I expected a natural carrot scent. All the irange carrot shaped bars had carrot juice in them. For years.
Even though its not an Easter product i still expected that scent. And when i smelled the Creamy Candy scent instead-it messed me up 😅 It smelled famisr to me but i couldnt out my fimger on what it was iwas smelling. At the time i couldnt even tell what scent it was. Creamy Candy. It’s CREAMY CANDY 😂
This is a New, limited edition bubble bar for Valentines 2022. It’s a new shape and a new Vanilla scent.
ETA: This is not a new vanilla scent. This is the Lush
Creamy Candy scent.
After i buy one I’ll add more info pics and video when i take a bath with it tomorrow.
Here’s a video i recorded for you of my bath with Kim the Carrot and you can see what it looks like when using it.
The ones i got from Lush Uk were more pink and the one i got from Lush usa is more red.
This is a New, limited edition bath bomb for Valentine’s 2022. Its made in the shape of a Lobster, and is made in the same scent as ‘Pink Fun’ bar. Tonka and Benzoin.
It has a soft floral scent with a bit of yumminess.
with the Lush Pink Fun bar scent.
I love the reddish pink color. Lush doesn’t have many products with this color. I love it!
This is not a fast fizzing bath bomb, it’s one of those slow, melty kind of bath bombs . I love the ones like this, and this one is extra ‘fluffy’ in the water.
Lush 2022 Description: We’re obsessed with the idea that lobsters mate for life, which is how this limited-edition lobster came to be!

Tonka absolute offers a decadent note

I like the fun lobster shape, i love the uncommon color, and i like the scent.

This is a New Lush limited edition shower gel for Valentine’s 2022.
This is a new shower gel with a new scent. It’s an apple scent, but different than another Lush apple scent called ‘So White’. To me so white is more of a green apple scent and Temptation is more of a red apple scent.
Even though lush said its a new scent i found out from The_Lush_Box oninstagram that Lush made this shower gel in the same scent as their 2004 ‘Temptation’ soap
It’s not a sweet scent. It reminds me of fresh green grass under an apple tree. The apple is more subtle.
A beautiful red color with no glitter.
My husband said he smells apple with a bit of floral. Neither one of us smell any hint of cinnamon in this shower gel.
Itsmade in thesame scent as the Lush ‘Apple Crumble‘ bubble bar.
The gel is so thick that when you squeeze it out it falls out in ribbons. And i did my plate test in the video and it took a LONG time to drip down the plate.
Lush description: In the mood for love? This one’s packed with aphrodisiac ingredients like cinnamon, red rose petals, and ginseng. Perfect for sharing showers.
Lush: Whether you love to share showers or go it alone, you’ll want to get wild with this irresistible body wash. It starts with the perfect throuple: an infusion of cinnamon, red rose petals and ginseng, ingredients that are known for their aphrodisiac effects, and then kicks it into high gear with cinnamon leaf oil for an extra-spicy good time. So go ahead, lather up, enjoy the moment, and just try to resist this one.
This is a new bath bomb for Lush. It’s a limited edition bath bomb just for Valentine’s 2022.
Take this uplifting fizzer for a spin around the tub as it unleashes skin-softening, colorful waters and a sweet, citrusy scent.
Lush description: Inspired by Herbie the Love Bug, this sweet ‘n’ citrusy fizzer is the perfect companion for bathtime. Sicilian lemon and organic sweet orange oils collide with rose oil to give this one a citrusy scent kissed with a hint of sweetness. We’ve also packed it full of cream of tartar and corn starch to help kick the softness up a notch for a seriously silky feel.
Benefits
Corn starch helps soften water and skin
Citrus oils deliver an uplifting hit
Rose oil keeps things calm and soothed
This is a New Valentines bath bomb for 2022. It’s a cute little vw bug car. It has the same scent as the classic Lush Valentines ‘Love Boat’ bath bomb from previous years, as well as the Rose Lollipop lip balm. This Love Bug even has the same colors as the Love Boat.
How to use: Ready – run your bath. Set – add your Love Bug. GO! Sink into the tangy sherbet scent of orange and Sicilian lemon. For a Valentine’s Day bath that will get your heart racing.
This bath bomb makes great bath art. Pink, Blue and Yellow are so pretty. The bath water starts out with multi-colored bath foam and then turns into a beautiful rose color.
The rose colored water has silver shimmer in it.
I’d rate this bath bomb a 5 out of 5 rating 😊
It’s a slightly sweet, fruity scent made with rose, lemon and orange.
