Lush Pumpkins 

These are just the orange colored lush Pumpkin products. (There are two other Lush Pumpkins that are not orange but that’s another photo for another day 😊)

All are Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics products past and present, but all made in 2016 because the Lush.co.uk/kitchen remade the retro ones in October 2016. 

None of these share scents. They’re all different. 

‘Jack O’ bath bomb (smells like pumpkin spice)

‘Pumpkin’ bath bomb (smells like lime sherbet)

‘Pumpkin’ soap (my fave, smells like pumpkin and cinnamon, has real pumpkin in it)

‘Pumpkin’ bubble bar (clove, orange, pumpkin, cinnamon) my 2nd fave. 

‘Sparkly Pumpkin’ bubble bar (smells like fruit punch, shares it’s scent with Lush ‘Mr Punch’ soap).

Haunted House gift set

Lush made this gift set on their lush.co.uk/kitchen website I was fortunate enough to get one as they sold out fast.  Lush made some popular retro lush halloween products, five products, and add these into the gift set.

I hadn’t seen “Pumpkin’ made in years.

Autumn Leaves

4 out of 4 rating – se my tub demo and review video of this below

$6.95

A beautiful fall inspired bath bomb in the shaper of a leaf, and having the scent of Lush popular “Grass‘ scent.

This gorgeous Winter 2016 bath bomb has an earthy scent of cut grass and is made with sandalwood, bergamot, neroli, and maple sap. It’s got a beautiful green shimmer on it.

The colors in this bath bomb remind one of Autumn, with the green, orange and gold colors. This is a slow fizzer, and watching the beautiful colors swirling around me was beautiful.

This stunning bath bomb brings the beauty of nature’s autumnal metamorphosis right into your tub. Watching it dissolve in the bath is like watching the trees turn colors, only in fast forward! Breathe in the grounding yet uplifting perfume, full of bergamot, neroli and sandalwood, and brace yourself for winter’s arrival.

Lush Halloween 2016

 

Halloween 2016 brings new bath time goodies as well as old Halloween bath favorites. Lush North America will have them up on their mail order website first on September 16.   And Lush Uk will have them up on Sept 23.

Thank goodness the popular Lord of Misrule will be returning this year, along with the shower gel of the same name.

Lush has introduced another new limited edition Halloween bath bomb this year.  It’s a beautiful green leaf-shaped bath bomb called “Autumn Leaves’, which is made with the ‘Grass‘ scent.

Lush will introduce two new limited edition soaps this Halloween. One called “Fireside’ makes a beautiful in store display, looking like logs in a fireplace.  Not only does it have a yummy sounding combo of vanilla and clove,  but apparently this soap has maple sap in it!  Not only will the store display look good, but the smaller guest sized Fireside soaps look adorable with a yellow flame in the middle of the red soap.

The other soap this year is called “Magic Wand and has a fruity orange, tangerine and pomegranate scent.

Lush has introduced a gorgeous little sparkle bar, called “Goth Fairy’, which is a lavender colored, sparkley bar having the scent of one of my favorite lush discontinued bath bombs ‘Space Girl.

Not only are Lush bringing Lord of Misrule back this year but….Lush has made a PUMPKIN PIE scented bath bomb this year.  Woo Hoo!!!! This jack o lantern looking bath bomb is fittingly called ‘Pumpkin’.

We can’t have a Lush Fall holiday/Halloween without something Calacas scented, and this Halloween Lush gives us our Calacas fix in a cute bath bomb called “Monsters ball’.  There are so many things to like about this cute bath bomb.

I will have separate blog pages here for each of the individual products below, but for now i’m just going to have this list of them below with links to demos i did of them. I’m adding more everyday so check back daily 🙂

I have Christmas products info here

Fireside

The in-store Fireside soap look like logs and are dark on the outside and orange in the middle.  And the pre-packaged website 100g pieces of Fireside look cute as well, with flames in the middle of the pieces.  I love that!

Feel the warmth

When cool nights get downright cold and fresh breezes turn frosty, it’s time to come cozy up with Fireside. Just one look at its beautiful embedded flames is enough to make you feel nice and toasty. This sudser’s spicy clove bud oil will warm you right up as you lather while sweet vanilla calls to mind the comforts of homemade treats. No need to fight for a spot by the mantle: there’s plenty of Fireside to go around!

Pumpkin bath bomb

 

2.5 out of 5 rating

 

This odd smelling little fellow is such a cute shape.  The first 3D pumpkin shaped product.  I love that part of it.  I was surprised that this bath bomb does not smell like pumpkin pie spice at all to me.  I’m not sure why, maybe i got one from a bad batch, or what, but i got a strong lime smell.  For whatever reason my nose picks out a citrussy note. But there are many others who don’t smell that lime-ish note.

I asked my Son and my Husband seperately, and without saying anything, i asked ‘Without thinking, what’s the first thing you smell?’ and they both said “Limes’.

It’s first ingredients is pimento berry oil.  I got info from another lushie that pimento berry oil is another name for ‘allspice’.

I don’t smell any of the other typical ingredients that many Pumpkin Pie recipe require,  such as,  pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon.

I think it’s a cute bath bomb even though the scent may not be for me. It’s the first 3D shaped Lush pumpkin product.

And the water is a pretty orange color!

Monster’s Ball

5 out of 5 rating

Neroli, Lime and Frankincense.

Edit


$7.25

The two bath bombs in the picture above are both made with the classic Calacas scent. See my demo video below of this in the tub close up

This cute little one-eyed monster bath bomb is made with the popular Lush ‘Calacas‘ scent.

The scent of Calacas is like a perfumey citrus. The scetbis nice and strong in this bath bomb.  And the nice thing about any product with the Calacas scent is that the scent stays on my skin for an hour after i’ve taken a bath, which is nice.

But for me it’s the show of colors that this bath bomb displays that pushes this to a 5 out of 5 rating.  Slow, fizzing, swirls of pink, magenta, teal eventually blending into a deep violet color.  Gorgeous!  While this has no sparkles in the water i don’t miss it because the display is so stunning. 

Multicolored mutant

Throw yourself a ball by reveling in possibly the most beautiful bath water ever. This cyclops’ outer layer creates layers of pink froth on top of deep blue-purple waters as its fruity lime and neroli perfume fills the air. Make sure you save a dance for this beautiful monstrosity. Trust us, you won’t regret it!
