Ro’s Argan Gourmet soap
5 out of 5 rating
This is the most fragrant Lush soap i’ve ever used. It’s sweet and floral. like rose candy. I will say this is also the most moisturizing soap i’ve ever had from any company, Lush or otherwise. 👍🏼
When Lush opened their first Superstore in 2014 in the gorgeous area of London called Oxford Street it was a magical new three story building with Lush introducing 300+ new, innovative product. Some were to be exclusive to that store abd some would be introduced in all Lush stores about a year later.
Five of those innovative new products were gourmet soaps: Olive Tree, Mallorcan, Ro’s Argan, and i’ll try to remember what the other two are called.
How to use:
This soothing and hydrating argan oil soap, with its heady Turkish rose absolute aroma, builds a gel-like lather. Cleanse and rinse for lasting softness.
How to store:
Made from argan oil hand-harvested by Berber women’s village co-operatives in Agadir, Morocco, store in a cool, dry place.
ellow Rose Petals (Rosa centifolia)

Argan Oil (Argania spinosa), Water (Aqua), Glycerine, Granulated Sugar, Sodium Hydroxide, Perfume, Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Geranium Oil (Pelargonium graveolens), Pakistani Rose Absolute (Rosa damascena), Rose Oil (Rosa damascena), Citric Acid, Sodium Bicarbonate, *Limonene, Citronellol, Coumarin, Geraniol, Red and Y

I remember the cartoons Sylvester and Tweety Bird. And this looks just like Tweety bird.
LOVE the tangerine scent of this bubble bar. Having the scent similar to Lush ‘Sun’ perfume, Sun bath oil, and ‘Wonder Woo Hoo‘ bubble bar.
I’ve made a video review and demo of this below 🙂
For a long time This was only available at the Lush Oxford Street superstore. Pretty exclusive.
Here’s a demo review video i made of Tweet bubble bar.
In October 2021 the Lush Kitchen made exclusive green Tweets and rare Black Tweet bubble bars just for the monthly Subscription box. Yay!

Tisty Tosty
4 out of 5 rating . See my 2 minute video demo and review video of this below.
Lush UK 2019
Lush USA February 2026
There are three different looks that this bath bomb has had over the years. The original white Tisty Tosty from 1999-2013
The Giant one in 2017
The Pink one in 2018
The current 2021 bomb is white and has a quite carved into it which says: ‘I choose to love myself just as I am.’
Tisty Tosty has a unique floral scent. Made with Rose, orris root (from violet) and jasmine. Lush has had this bath bomb for years. It is a classic, something that you can buy for a friend, a mom, a sister, anyone you know who needs cheering up or who is celebrating something. It’s the perfect Lush bomb to get when you don’t know what to get. The original version was very light in scent. In 2005 Lush tweaked their recipe a bit and added more rose oils to the scent. So now it’s even better. What’s not to love.
The return of a Lush classic for Valentine’s day. A sensual bundle of rosebuds and folklore. Be enamoured with this medieval love potion in bloom.
How to use:
Run a bath and drop in this captivating combination of rose, orris root powder and lemon for a gentle relaxing soak.
How to store:
Keep cool and dry until ready to feel love’s embrace.
The Pink one below was exclusive to the Lush Kitchen from 2018.
Shipping Weight: 95gs
Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, 
Here’s a video demo i made of this in the tub
Lush 2006 Description: Each Tisty Tosty has a bunch of seven real rosebuds encased it its rose scented, heart shaped, white body. As it fizzes in your warm bath and the buds float to the bath’s surface, they release their magic love spell that we weave when we hand-make each batch. The fragrant rose (not to be confused with those huge, fluffy things with no scent) is surrounded with mystery and legend; it is said to have come from the Great Garden of ancient Persia; Cleopatra is rumoured to have seduced Anthony with it. Rose perfume is said to ease tension and stress and to give people happy, positive feelings (which is probably why it worked for Cleopatra). Give it away to someone you love or keep it for yourself; either way the Tisty Tosty works its magic spell.
Below is the Love Spell gift from 1999. It ooens up like a spell book, and it has hand painted design on the front and an aged looking parchment paper with a spell on it.
I took the original (20 year old) white tisty tosty out and put a new pink one in.
Lush made the giant one below called ‘Le Grande Amour’ in 2008. Its wider but not as tall as the extra large tisty tosty below.
Heres an xtra large Tisty Tosty but its taller/higher than Le Grande Amour. 😊
Down the Rabbit Hole
5 out of 5 rating
See my demo video below
The Down the Rabbit Hole bubble bar came out for Easter 2016. When i got it, It was only sold at the Lush Oxford Street superstore in London. A lovely friend got it for me along with other things at that store and sent it to me in the mail to the U.S. A couple of years later Lush made them in the Lush Kitchen online store for one day only.
I loved this bubble bar! Its beautiful and it smells great!
Easter 2016
The Down ‘The Rabbit Hole’ bubble bar has the same scent as the Lush “Layer Cake’ soap. Fruity with different fruits, lemon, cherry, pineapple, orange.
Heres a Lush bath ‘cocktail’ i had once had, with a yellow submarine pineapple and coconut bath bomb, and an orange lush bath oil. The went well with the lemon, cherry and orange Down the Rabbit Hole bubble bar.
In this photo i cut a cross section to see the layers
Heres a close up of the middle.
Here’s a video of it in use in my tub
Sunflower bubble bar
5 out of 5 rating
see my Tub Demo Video below
Here’s a demo video i made of this bubble bar. This is exclusive only to the Lush Oxford street superstore in London, and in the “Happy Mother’s day” gift set in lush UK stores.
I took a couple of shots with other flower Lush products
Here’s a bath demo I recorded of Sunflower bubble bar.
This is honestly one of my top favorite bubble bars from Lush. For one thing its huge. It was exclusive to the UK superstore on Oxford Street. It had yellow shimmer dust on the top. it smelled great; orange, lemon, grapefruit.
Shades of Pink, Shades of Red, Nudes Lip color
Se my demo review video below
Here’s a demo i made of my ‘Shades of Pink’ lip color
And here’s a demo i made of the Shades of Red
Bamboozled lip stain
See my video demo below
This is a lip stain that you apply with a lip brush. Lush Oxford Street sells lip brushes, or you can use any lip brush. The color lasted on my lips for hours. It’s a nice true blue-red.
Here’s a video demo i made of bamboozled klip stain
Earth eye shadow powders
I only bought these four colors.
These shimmery eye shadows are exclusive to Lush Superstore in Oxford Street London. They get their colors from flowers and thats why lush named them earth eye shadows. 😊
Nicely pigmented, with no fall out. They can be applied with a brush or with fingertips. In my experience fingertips worked better.
Here’s a quick video showing them.
Go to 8:25 to specifically see my earth shadow powders
Eye Jewels
I’m showing my eye jewel palette above, and this is what they look like on the hand below.
Here’s a demo video i made of these eyeshadows as far as applying them
Olive Tree
3 out of 5
Here’s a demo video I made of my piece of Lush Olive Tree soap. Its a ‘gourmet soap’ from the Oxford Street Superstore, along with the other four or five gourmet soaps;
mallorquin
rose argan
drop of hope
Olive Tree isnt my favorite of the bunch but its nice.
Its got alot more moisturizing ingredients like olive oil in it than regular cold pressed or cold pour Lush soaps.
Mallorquin gourmet soap
4 out of 5 rating. See my sink demo video below
Here are the Lush gourmet soaps in their display area in the Lush Oxford Street superstore. Lush would cut off a piece however big you wanted to buy.
Gourmet soap’ These soaps are soft like Movis soap. They are more moisturizing and have more butters and fine ingredients. Also, they use ingredients from ‘Masai’ for the ‘Masai Lather” soap for instance to give back to the local community commerce in these regions of the world.
The soap is very moist, and pliable. Its kindvof like Movis soap in consistency but with almond and more cocoa butter.
Here is the Oxford Street catalog with the gourmet soaps, including mallorquin, on the bottom of the left page.
Here’s a demo video i made of my piece of Lush mallorquin soap
Other Lush products below made in the same matching scent. Almond Blossom shower gel, Snowflake hand lotion, and Almond Blossom solid shower oil.
Holy Cacao!
Here’s a demo video of the pieces i have
Love Spell massage bar
3 out of 5 rating. See my demo video below.
Lush made this lovely massage bar only at their Oxford Street superstore in 2017, and it was also available for one day only on the lush Kitchen website. Here’s a video demo i made of this massage bar.
I loved the original Love Spell massage bars so much. I thought the original ones were a 4 out of 5 rating. However when they remade them in the Lush Kitchen in 2014 they hardly had any scent so my rating went down to 3 out of 5.
Here’s my lush Kitchen box that i bought when they remade Love Spell.
Here’s my Sink Demo Video of Love Spell.

Bertie
This is a remake of one of my favorite soaps from the past. I love licorice, and Bertie soap has a licorice smell i can’t resist. Lush Christmas bubble bar called “Bar Humbug” was made with the same scent as “Bertie” soap.
Here’s a photo of what the giant in-store Bertie soap looks like.
By the way, Lush has made “Bertie” previously, many years ago, though the soap was red, yellow and black back then.
Here’s my review of it back in 2004
Ingredients: Propylene Glycol, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Water (Aqua), Liquorice Root Infusion (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Sodium Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Perfume, Sweet Fennel Oil (Foeniculum vulgare), Tarragon Oil (Artemisia dracunculus), Siberian Pine Oil (Pinus), Charcoal Powder, Sodium Chloride, Glycerine, Titanium Dioxide, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Colour 18050. Vegan.
Review: If you like Licorice candy this is for you. It smells exactly like licorice candy. This is toning to the skin because of the liquorice root infusion. And the fennel goes well with the liquoirce root. This soap is a glycerine soap but for a glycerine soap is does have some nice, creamy lather.
Lush Times 2004 description: This isn’t really a soap, more like an ‘installation’. Mo wanted to make something which represented the event garde of the artistic soap-making world. We thought of calling it the Picassoap but then we thought of the potential law suits and decided again. Instead we named it after Mark’s and Mo’s son who invented its perfume. They call him Bertie (after Wooster) because of his penchant for wearing silk dressing gowns. Bertois smells of detoxifying fennel – jolly handy after a night on the tiles, pine wihcdh helps to improve poor concentration, tarragon which banishes apathy and boredom and liquorice which is said to help us resist exhaustian. If you were looking for a gentleman’s soap, you find that Bertie would very much suit the elegant chap around town.
Here are a few pieces of the new Bertie soap i have from Oxford Street.
Sticky Banana soap
See my demo video below.
This was a nice moisturizing soap from Lush Oxford Street store. It was made with banana, and it smelled like a fresh banana. It had places inside that had what seemed like honey. 
The one below that is the yellow one in front that’s six sided? That’s the piece of Sticky Banana that i got from this gift set at Oxford Street.
It was wildly popular the first year that that store was open.
Here’s a demo video i made of it for you.
lush made a sticky banana body wash ten years later which has the same scent, it’s really good.
Zen
Earthy, incense-y scent
Here’s a quick demo and review i did of this soap
My photo below shoes Other Lush products in the Zen scent.
Green and Gold
I was lucky enough to have a kind person buy one for me while she was there so I could pay her back and she sent it to me, along with a couple of other Lush soaps from Oxford Street. I have a sink demo video of Green and Gold soap below.
4 out of 5 rating. See my demo and review video of this soap below.
This smells just like the Avobath bath bomb or even the you’ve been mangoed bath oil. It has lemongrass and it smells so wonderful.
Green and Gold was only sold at the Lush Oxford Street superstore from 2014-2017
It was a beautiful soap with green around the outside and strips of gold too. Inside the soap was a yellowish gold color. In the stores the whole soap were long cylindrical poles, so Lush would cut customers a 100g piece off of the giant long piece. Unless you wanted to buy the whole soap.
Here’s a video demo i did of this soap
Cream of Tomato Soap
In the photo above you can see that the large, whole truckles of soap are somewhat cylindrical. And Lush would cut a chunk however big or small you wanted.
Tomatoes are full of antioxidants including vitamin C. This property of tomatoes makes them a great fruit for anti-ageing. The acidity in tomatoes helps in reducing and clearing your acne.
In my photo below are three lush soaps clockwise from the left: ‘Zen’ soap, ‘Cream of Tomato’ soap, and ‘Green and Gold’ soap.
This was actually nice smelling and it did smell like tomatoes. I never thought tomatoes smell good but..
In my photo below the cream of tomato is on the upper right next to the box. 
It’s a natural scent, not too strong. It was kind of creamy and seemed to be a tiny bit more moisturizing than other Lush soaps.
In my photo below it’s in the lower right.
