Ponche shower gel

5 out of 5 (original version)

See my demo video of it below

4 out of 5 (new version)

Made as a limited edition for Christmas 2010-2011 only. And remade for the previous incarnation of the Lush Kitchen in 2014. It’s up for the vote again for the Lush Kitchen July 2021 Subscription Box

This has a nice, Christmas punch kind of scent. Having cinnamon, orange juice, Okum, buchu oil, davana oil, and petigrain oil. All very fruity notes. The original version had tequila in it (like the punch that it’s named after), but for some reason they took it out. When they did that it changed the smell. It lost its bright note, but it’s still a nice scent.

Lush made a perfume of this exclusively for one day only on the Uk website in 2014.

Lush ‘Icing on the Cake’ smoothie rhoulade had the ponche scent as well.

Ingredients: Water, Plum Infusion, Cinnamon Infusion, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, orange juice, Lauryl Betaine, Perfume, Propylene Glycol, Lactic Acid, Davana Oil, Buchu Oil, Petitgrain Oil, Tequila, Eugenol, Geranoil, *Linalool, *Limonene, Colour 15510, Methylparaben.

Lush Times: Ay! Ay! Ay! It’s Christmas! Do not fear the winter blue, dear amigos! Take a shot of this zesty tequila and lime gel in your shower for amorning fiesta, sure to wake even the sleepiest morning monsters. Ponche was invented after a member of Lush HQ traveled through Mexico and enjoyed their traditional fruity party punch. Bring on the tequila!

hHere’s a demo and review video i did of this shower gel.

Yog Nog scent family

5 out of 5 rating

Yog Nog is an egg nog-like scent that has an added toasted caramel scent. Like creme brulee smells. Its so yummy that it fools you into thinking its edible. But its not.

My favorite of the bunch has to be the bubble bar. The perfume oil is the strongest.

Im glad i finally have enough things in this scent family to last me awhile. Perhaps ill sell a couple of them together.

This is a very popular set of products with Lushies. Lush has introduced it in one form or another every holiday season since 2013.

The Magic of Christmas FUN bar

$6.95 see my demo video below 😄
The grounding, mystical fragrance of
juniperberry, fennel and tangerine oils will also
make for luxurious and meditative bathtimes.
For some, magic is best taken seriously.
(I can tell this probably has the Jingle Spells fragrance from what the ingredients are!)


Snowcake shower gel

5 out of 5 rating

lushsnowcakesg1

This shower gel has the wonderful scent of Snowcake soap and Marzibain bubble bar. Firstly I was never knocked out about Snowcake soap. It was just “Meh” to me for years. But this shower gel has changed my mind completely about the Snowcake scent. When I opened the bottle I couldn’t believe how fresh it smelled! Everythying good that I could smell about Snowcake was in this bottle of shower gel. It is nice and strong and fresh smelling. It’s not sweet.  It smells lightly of rose and almond.  A clean, comforting scent. It’s got that marzipan scent, with a bit of rose and a bit of almond. I’m a Snowcake believer. I give this 5 stars.

Sleepy

5 out of 5 rating

See my demo video below

Lush new limited edition ‘Sleepy’ body lotion was made with the popular Lush “Twilight” scent.  Having tonka bean and lavender, it’s a creamy, slightly sweet, herbal scent.

file-oct-01-6-55-02-pm

Lush: ‘You’ll sleep in heavenly peace after dipping into this dreamy lotion, made with a gentle oatmeal infusion, calming lavender flower and comfortingly sweet tonka absolute. A rich, malty and floral perfume conjures up visions of sugar plums and hot drinks topped with whipped cream while the heavenly ministrations of creamy Fair Trade organic cocoa butter and delicate lavender water cool and enrich the skin. Blanket your body in this lovely lotion before stepping into soft pyjamas for snuggly winter nights beside the fire.’

Stardust bath bomb 2015

4.5 out of 4.5 rating
See my video demo and review below.
Lush description:  Follow yonder star all the way to the bathroom; it will bear exotic gifts of Fair Trade Ugandan vanilla
from the Mountains of the Moon and precious rosewood from the depths of the Peruvian rainforest.
A twinkly dip in its starlit waters gives a bergamot-powered boost to the mind and body – ideal
for a little post-party recovery.
$5.25 US / £4.95 UK
While this bath bomb doesn’t lend fantastic colors in the tub, it makes a lovely white sparkle in the water.  The scent has vanilla but it’s not a ‘bakery-like’ vanilla scent.  It’s brightened up a bit with the addition of bergamot, and the rosewood keeps it grounded.  It’s more of a ‘pretty’ scent than a foody one to my nose.  I wouldn’t rush out and buy four more but.. i might buy one more to enjoy.
I enjoyed it.

Here’s a video demo i made of the Stardust bath bomb

Christingle

See my demo video below.  This pale blue body conditioner contains
moisturizing jojoba oil, murumuru butter and shea butter. It has menthol crystals for a tingly sensation to cool you down after a hot day.
Peppermint, spearmint, grapefruit
and cassia make up this refreshing scent.
The Naked version is also being made this year 2017.

Magic Wand

Below is the original design.
$9.95
Magic Wand This is a reusable bubble bar on a stick with the Snow Fairy scent!
Fairies of all ages will love this
candy sweet magic wand. Swish
around your bath or hold under
running water for Snow Fairy-
scented bubbles, then pop it on
the side to dry for next time. Don’t
forget to make a wish!

Ingredients: Sodium Carbonate,Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerine,Lauryl Betaine, Perfume,Titanium Dioxide,Cocamide DEA, Synthetic Musk, Methyl Ionone,Benzyl Benzoate, Colour 45410, Colour 17200,Colour 14700

Lush: A reusable bubble bar star that gives mounds of sweet-smelling foam. This is a solid version of our best selling Snow Fairy shower gel for those who prefer to bath.

The magic of this version is that you can wave your wand under the water until you have the amount of bubbles you want – then you just stash it somewhere safe to dry off, ready for when you next bath. We’ve included pink ribbon and a bell, because if you are going to wave your wand, then you need some added drama and special effects! You should get several baths from this, depending on how much bubbly magic you want in your bath.  Each one will leave you smelling of candy floss and pear drops. Baths don’t get more yummy or more girly than this.

Here’s a demo and review i made of this beautiful bubble bar in the tub.

Santa FUN bar

lushsantafunad-copy_zpstbsutbsp

Build your own jolly Saint Nick using the
different colours from this gentle Fun bar then
use a little to wash hair and body. Fragranced
with sensual jasmine and ylang ylang oils.
This was made with the lush classic “Christmas Eve’ bubble bar scent and also shares it’s scent with “Northern Lights” Christmas bath bomb
a few years later lush made these products with the same scent:

Perfect Match bubble bar

Dragon Legend bubble bar

Great Wave bubble bar

I roll each color together to get a swirled pice like this.  Then i cut them into 1 inch round pieces.  Then i can use a round piece for the shower, and one in my soap dish at the sink.  And it looks all swirly colored and pretty.

Here’s a video demo i did of Santa Fun bar, showing the various ways you can use it.

Five Gold Rings bubble bar 2015

5 out of 5 rating
See my video Tub demo that i made for you below
£4.95
Note: There is also a ‘3 Gold Rings’ bubble bar that is totally different than this 5 gold rings. Different look, and different scent.
Crumble under running water for a creamy
Fair Trade vanilla filled bath, infused with
skin-softening illipe butter and nourishing
moringa oil.
It’s Yummy smelling but earthy at the same time. A most addictive scent to me. ❤️
I think that two rings would be perfect for one bath. One was good, but two would be more the size of a regular bubble bar.

Ingredients – Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Cornflour, Perfume, Fair Trade Vanilla Absolute, Benzoin Resinoid, Tonka Absolute, Gardenia Extract, Coumarin, Radiant Gold Lustre (Potassium Aluminium Silicate, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides), Gold Glimmer Luster

Salt and Peppermint Bark

$12.95 This one above i bought from the Lush Kitchen Subscription box November 2021.
It was made originally for one or two years only as a limited edition for Christmas in 2014 or thereabouts.

Salt And Peppermint Bark is here to sweetly
soften your skin this holiday. Over half of each
bar is sea salt for some serious seasonal
scrubbing! Tropical cocoa and cupuacu
butters will soften and condition the skin while
you scrub, to leave you feeling silky smooth.
file-oct-11-10-36-55-pm
This is one of very few Lush solid body scrubs that i like. Its made with salt for exfoliatiin purposes. So ifyou have bumps on your upper arms or if you have areas that are rough and dry the cocoa butter will soften and salt will exfoliate those rough spots away.
Its got a nice creamy, slightly sweet peppermint scent.

Peeping Santa

See my video demo below.
A Santa shaped bubble bar sandwiched
together with cocoa butter and shea butter
and fragranced with strawberry-sweet
bergamot and geranium oils.
This shares it’s scent with Yummy Yummy Yummy shower gel, and other lush products from this same ‘scent family’.

Christmas, or are just a big fan for liquorice
allsorts, then you’ll enjoy this liquorice
scented bubble bar.
This bubble bar shares it’s scent with lush ‘Bertie” soap, which has always been one of my favorite Lush soaps, and the soap is being sold at Lush Oxford Street store.

This is one of my favoties of the 20+ bath oils Lush has made. This one was a Lush Uk exclusive for one day.

In my photo below im showing what i had in my Winter bath cocktail. I had 1 Lush Abombinaball Snowman bath bomb, some Lush Snow Showers jelly, and a Lush Snow Melt. They each have three different scent fragrances.

Remember your first snow and the joy of catching flakes on gloves. Frosty, stimulating peppermint oil swirls with bright Sicilian lemon to recreate the crisp air. Fair Trade Organic cocoa and Organic illipe and shea butters soften skin and transform the water for creamy, snow white bliss.

List of ingredients

I absolutely love this bath oil. This actually ‘snows’ in the bath water.  I’ve never seen any of Lush’ new bath oils do what Snow Melt bath oil does.  And the scent of this is gorgeous.  It’s a tiny bit sweet, and minty, and it has a wonderful, fresh smell, just like real snow!

Here’s a video i made of the Snow Melt demo in the bath.  It actually ‘snows”!

Reindeer Rock

This is what the large in-store soap wheel looks like. 

Ingredients: Cassis Absolute (Ribes nigrum), Bergamot Oil (Citrus bergamia), Cassis Absolute (Ribes nigrum), Cypress Oil (Cupressus sempervirens), Perfume,  *Limonene, *Linalool, Colour 45410, Colour 17200.* Occurs naturally in essential oils.

 

4 out of 5 rating.

This a lovely currant (cassis) scented, limited edition Christmas soap is made with the same scent as Lush “Comforter”. 

Having silver reindeer carved into this maroon colored soap.

However, Christmas 2016 brings  a new color to this popular Christmas soap.

It’s not particularly moisturizing, but if you like the berryish scent of the Comforter scent this is a great way to enjoy that fragrance.

This is what it looks like sold by the 100g slice.
