Inside, a citrus explosion of fresh organic lemon infusion, lemon oil and organic lemon myrtle will blow the blues away. Why not take your jelly straight out of the fridge or freezer and into the bath or shower with you? The rush of cold on your skin will send blood pumping to the surface, increasing circulation and delivering a super-refreshed feeling.

Lord of Misrule shower cream

5 out of 5 rating

See my up close (to show the glitter) sink demo video of it belowThis image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_4802.jpg

 

One of the lush shower gels which came here to North America September 18, 2015.  These 3  shower gels including Lord of Misrule, Don’t Rain on my Parade, and Beautiful,  debuted at lush new “Superstore” on Oxford Street in London.

This shower cream is a more moisturizing, creamy shower gel, in the popular Lord of Misrule fragrance.  Black pepper, vanilla and patchouli.  This is a nice way of having the LOM scent.  There are also two more Oxford street new products having this same scent (see Aliens and Monsters fun bar), LOM find the gap bar,  and Rough With the Smooth bar, as well as the Lord of Misrule bath bomb, and the LOM perfume.   Just for fun I made a photo of all these together (below).This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_4801-1.jpg

 

It’s called a shower cream instead of a shower gel because it has extra moisturizing properties such as wheatgerm oil, etc.

I love this.  I’ve even washed my hair with this.  Because the scent stays a good long time on my skin or hair.

Original Lord of Misrule bath bomb 2014-2021

This is the product that started the whole “Lord of Misrule” craze. It’s hard to describe this one.  I can smell the black pepper and then a yummy creamy vanilla note, like the Lord of Misrule himself, full of discord and disorderly conduct. At once lushious and treacherous.  It’s so so different, and it’s addictive.

Slightly sweet and yummy but with an earthy, peppery side.

Lush has also made a Lord of Misrule shower cream, a couple of a Fun multi-purpose bar, a square “Rough With the Smooth” cocoa butter body scrub, Lord of Misrule perfume, and othersIngredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Popping Candy, Cream of Tartar, Black Pepper Oil, Patchouli Oil, Fair Trade Vanilla Absolute, Lauryl Betaine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Gardenia Extract, *Limonene, Perfume, Colour 17200, Colour 42090, Colour 19140

Description: This bath bomb, named after the ruler of the Pagan Feast of Fools, has a strange and magnificent fragrance created by Gorilla Perfumer Simon Constantine. This bomb will slowly dissolve to reveal a wine coloured centre, with the added sweetness of the world’s first fair trade vanilla absolute, perfectly balanced by the earthy scents of black pepper and patchouli oil.

The design of this bomb is inspired by the paper hats you find inside Christmas crackers, which were originally based on the crown the Lord of Misrule would wear whilst he presided over the court. Arriving at Halloween, the Lord of Misrule will be gracing us with his presence until the first signs of spring. Here’s a photo of the color the water ultimately turns when it’s all done fizzing. See Video below

See video i did of pouring this below.

‘Beautiful’ is one of the new lush shower gels  which have come here to Lush North America.  These 3  shower gels including Lord of Misrule, Don’t Rain on my Parade, and Beautiful,  debuted at lush new “Superstore” on Oxford Street in London.

 

For those of you who remember lush B boutique in London in 2006, this has the scent of their 1000 Kisses Deep fragrance

peach, gardenia, carrageenan, labdamun, apricot, osmanthus and myrrh.

Lush Kitchen online Description: ‘If you feel anything less than a vision of loveliness in the morning, this peachy keen shower gel is the one for you. A blend of warming and exotic myrrh resinoid brings a sensual musk to the sunny perfume of fresh peach juice and dried apricots, and feels sensationally soft on the skin. Adorn yourself in the rich, creamy lather of this warm, floral tonic to feel gorgeous, inside and out. 1000 Kisses from us to you..’

Love and Light

See my 4 minute video demo and review below 🙂  7.95 gbp/$12.25 100g or 14.95 gpb/$22.00 250g

file-sep-13-6-06-52-pm

 

Debuted in April 2015 This smells like orange blossom and neroli, not orange. It’s light and doesn’t leave a film like some thicker hand creams do.
As far as perfumes, if it came down to two, i like Frozen’s scent as a perfume more than love and light, i explain why in this 4 minute video i made of Love and Light hand cream up close.

Frozen bath bomb

There is also a ‘Frozen’ bubble bar, but they smell nothing alike and they look different.

OMG this Frozen bath bomb what a gorgeous bath bomb!  See my short video clip of it below. This shares its beautiful scent with Lush “Happy Happy Joy Joy” and a couple of other lush products.The scent is grapefruit, neroli, and rose.

The scent is so beautiful that many Lushies asked Lush to make this into perfume, which Lush did available for one day only.

I had a lush solid bath oil called ‘Shark Infested Custard’ which is yellow, after the Frozen bath bomb dissolved in the water. And the look of the yellow amidst all the blue looked so pretty.

When the yellow Lush bath oil began to melt it looked like a painting of yellow and blue in the water. 😍

Here’s Frozen fizzing in my tub.

The blue water that this bomb makes is like NO other blue lush item.  I don’t think Lush has made any other product in this particular shade of blue.

Some more pics i took of another frozen bomb i bought that i used on another day.

Review: The fragrance of this bath bomb surprised me.  I thought because it was called “Frozen” it might be minty.  Instead this is a Gorgeous floral with citrus notes. Rose, Neroli, Grapefruit.

It has the lscent as Lush “Happy Happy Joy Joy” shampoo and the Lush ‘shine so bright” hair styling balm. Frozen bath bomb has silver shimmer in the water which does leave an ever so light sheen on the skin after the bath. The water is an incredible bright sky blue color.

I tried to show the silver sparkle in the sky blue water.

Lush description:  Let it go – This magical blend of uplifting grapefruit, tunisian neroli, rose oil.

Heres a scent family photo i took of lush things in the same scent that i had purchased throughout the years.

Lush also made a bubble bar a couple of years later for Mother’s Day called ‘Your Mother Should Know’ which has the same scent.

Happy Happy Joy Joy was a Lush hair conditioner.

Lush made a spray perfume of frozen and a sid perfume.

See my video of this gorgeous bath bomb below.

Many years later Lush made another product in this same scent family which is a body lotion made for their January 2025 monthly subscription box.

Respect Your Elders

5 out of 5 rating

See my short video below, berries!

I love this soap, it smells like elderberries more than elderflower.  It has a black coating and the interior soap color is a gorgeous purple! This soap is right up my alley.

It smells like sweet berries, it smells yummy. It’s not strongly sweet, it’s a just right kind of sweet.

Elderberries

Elderflowers

Elder Berry Wine

Making wine from elderberries is a thing. It’s kind of a cordial.

 For Christmas 2016 Lush made three Fun bars. ONE OF THEM CALLED snakes and Ladders had rhe same scent as Lush ‘Respect Your Elders’ soap.

Bling! toothy tabs

See my video demo below
2015 5.95 gap
Orange and Frankincense

I like the taste of these particular toothy tabs called ‘Bling!’  It’s nice and orange, like a real orange.  Even though there is gold powder on these it doesn’t get your mouth filled with gold dust glitter.  In face when you rinse your mouth after brushing, it’s all gone, just the taste remains. 🙂  These are my favorite tasting of the new shimmery toothy tabs.

Click here to watch a demo of these Bling toothy tabs.

Intergalactic

See the 3 minute video (below) i made of this stupefying color of water.

Lush description:  Blast off into Funky-This awesome mix will have you hooked on a feeling.  Be the guardian of a galaxy as it explodes in your bath.

5 out of 5 rating.  This is minty smelling, and the dark blue color of the water, and the sparkliness of the water makes my bath look like a galaxy.  A bath bomb can’t get any better than this.

In my below picture is the Lush “Nebula” bath bomb, it is an Intergalactic bath bomb that is twice the size as a regular one. Lush UK for one day only were selling a xxl Sex bomb, an xxl Intergalactic bath bomb, and an xxl Dragon’s Egg bath bomb, XXL Sex Bomb and xxl Rose Jam in UK stores and on the UK retail site. I love when Lush makes those.  They did that many many years ago too one day but with different Lush bath bombs than those I just mentioned. 

This has popping candy, peppermint oil, grapefruit oil, cedarwood oil, and vetivers oil.

Here’s a link to a video i made of the Intergalactic in the water, GORGEOUS shimmer at the very end 🙂

Below is a giant Intergalactic bath bomb which was on display at the 2017 creative showcase event in England. The ‘Nebula’ bath bomb is a XXL Intergalactic bath bomb that is 2x the size of a regular Intergalactic bath bomb. The one in the tub display below at the Creative Showcase was 10x the size of a regular Intergalactic bath bomb.

Maypole soap

This soap is one of my favorites, because of the way it looks and smells.

I like the play on the words Maypole and Maple.

I love the whimsical look of this soap most of all!

The Maple syrup in Maypole goes perfectly with the mint.   The scent is fun, and uplifting.

Below is how the soap in the stores looked.

I cut this cylindrical piece into halves. So it looks like there is a piece of watermelon in my soap dish.  🙂

It’s not a strong maple smell, it just makes the mint subley sweeter which is nice. To me it smells more minty than mapley.

 lush has made a Maypole Body Lotion also as an exclusive limited edition for July 24. you can see it in the photo i took below. Its so good and smells just like the soap.

See what this looks like up close and what the lush catalog says about it in my 3 minute video here

I was told that Another product with this scent is the Lush Christmas ‘Salt and Peppermint bark’ body scrub.

Lush ‘Hey Hollywood’ bath bomb has the same scent.

Cyanide Pill

4 out of 5 rating

See my demo video below.  Initially Cyanide Pill has a fruity creamy, comforting kind of scent, then comes a bitter almond note, almost makes me wrinkle my nose.  Luckily I smell a vague cherryish note too.

There is a silver glitter in the middle of this yellow bath bomb, which disperses into the water and looks pretty and glittery.  Lush North America made a soap in 2015 called “Hands of Friendship’ which shares it’s scent with the Cyanide Pill. Lush also made a bath bomb called ’13 States’ with the same scent. I took a pic of them below. Additionally Lush also made a silver bath oil called “Delight” (I took a pic below) in the same scent.

A picture of the yellow, pink and silver bath bomb foam in the water.

When Lush had a gallery space built to introduce their new Gorilla III range of perfumes from their new “Death and Decay” series, they had a gallery room for each perfume they were introducing, including site and sound to match the perfume.  Cyanide perfume was one of the gallery displays.  However Lush never released the Cyanide perfume, turns out they only used the scent for the gallery display.  We’re told that this new Cyanide pill bath bomb has the scent of that Gorilla III ‘Cyanide’ gallery room.  I’ll have to try another one to make sure but i’m not sure i like the smell of this one. 2015 3.50 gpb / $5.75

Turns out I dont hate it, but i dont love it. It sure is cute though, looking like a cyanide pill.

I took this picture below of the two Pills that Lush has made over the years. 😊

The Lush bath oil in my picture below called ‘Delight‘ has the same scent.

These bath bombs below, including Cyanide Pill, were first introduced in 2014, at the time they were exclusive to the Lush Oxford Street Superstore.

Lush description: Slide into the danger zone
Caution! This intoxicating almond bomb should wear a warning sign. Detonate in water for a mercury silver slick.

Here i show it dissolving to show the silver in the middle.

Ingredients:  popping candy, perfume, silver glimmer lustre, lemon oil, cedar wood oil, rosewood oil, almond essential oil.

Here’s my youtube video of what Cyanide Pill looks like in the tub. 🙂

Dragon’s Temple bath oil bauble has the same scent as Cyanide Pill

The silver Lush bath oil in my picture below called ‘Delight‘ has the same scent as Cyanide Pill.

These products in my photo below; Lush ’13 states’ bath bomb, and Lush ‘hands of friendship’ soap are also in the same scent as Cyanide Pill.

Lavender La Vida Loca (formerly ‘Serendipity’)

Original 5 out of 5

Recent 3.5 out of 5 rating

Here’s the rectangular shape they are now, from the Lush (USA) Kitchen January 2026 Subscription box. Not quite as colorful and not quite as strongly scented.

on its side

This is the most current Lavender La Vida Loca soap which was made and included in the January 2026 Lush Kitchen Subscription box. The theme was ‘Dreamland’.

Its looks different than the original (UK) Lavender La Vida Loca/Serendipity soap. Its rectangular. It doesn’t smell quite as strong as the pieces i’ve had before. It’s hard to smell anything from it.

French Lavender and Chamomile

‘Don’t leave sweet dreams to chance. Try this skin soothing lavender and chamomile lullaby.’

Here’s the lovely piece i got.  It doesn’t have the sweet tonka note as Twilight.  It’s more of a true lavender scent, matching the “Golden Slumbers’ bath bomb. 

This soap is made into a long pole shape.  And then Lush slices pieces off cross-wise.  Pretty pink purple outter and lavender purple inside. Even though it’s glycerine based, It’s a creamy soap.

Ingredients:  Glycerine, rapeseed oil, lavender flower infusion, french lavender oil, water, dried lavender stem, chamomile blue oil, lavender absolute.

A “Golden Slumbers’ bath bomb would go well with this as both are lavender scented.   “dreamtime” bath oil would go well with this also.

An exfoliating Pumice soap to remove ingrained dirt.


Cold-pressed means no heat was used to bind the fresh ingredients together.

The lack of heat helps the oils retain all of their fragrance and fresh nutrients.

Granny Takes a Dip bubble bar

April 2015 – My Video of this below

Debuting at their Oxford Street store in London, and then coming to UK and US stores a month later, this comes at a time when lush were discontinuing their bath bomb of the same name.

I like the bath bomb more than the bubble bar.  There was a whole show involved with the bath bomb.  An unfurling of psychedelic beauty.  Whereas the bubble bar crumbles into the huge amount of bubbles, which is good, after all it is a bubble bar.  But i like the :show” of the bath bomb a bit more.  Dunno if i’ll buy this one again.  The scent wasn’t as strong as i remember the bath bomb to be.  It is a gorgeous looking bubble bar though.

Lush Description:  This ginger, pepper and lemon-scented bubble bar turns your water psychedelic and puts some colour in your life. Simply crumble underneath the running tap to create grounding, spicy bubbles. Its spicy, citrusy scent will pep you up: lemon oil boosts the mood, while ginger and pepper are warming.

I took t pic below of the Granny bath bomb and the bubble bar together.

Yoga Bomb

5 out of 5 rating.

see my tub demo video below 😊

This is quite lovely in the tub, having many colors like a rainbow, ultimately turning the bath a golden hue.

3.75 gap / $5.65

Here’s a video i made of the Yoga Bomb in the tub

I love the meditative scent, the rainbow of colors and the golden shimmer in the water. I would buy more than one of these, so i would rate this bath bomb a 5 out of 5 rating.

Yogs Bomb body spray came out a couple of years later, along with other exclusive body sprays.


Devil’s Nightcap

3 out of 5 rating

if youve ever tried the Black Phoenix perfume called ‘Graveyard Dirt’ that is close to what Devils Nightcap smells like.

The same fragrance as one of my favorite Lush perfumes “Devil’s Nightcap”.

oakmoss, ylang ylang, clary sage, oakwood.

Firstly, I love the clay consistency in this soap, it reminds me of the classic lush soap called “Middle Earth turns to rock’ (changed to Waylander rasshoul), except Devil’s Nightcap is more perfume-y with the ylang ylang

Having the scent of Lush “Devil’s Nightcap’ perfume, The clary sage gives a bitter note that works really well with the earthy, woodylushDevil'sNightcapWiki and perfumey floral notes.  I think this soap has a love it or hate it scent.  I’ve read people who LOVE this and people who Hate this, there doesn’t seem to be a middle ground.  I love it, it evokes an earthy, almost brooding, darkly feminine scent.

This soap was made in 2014, along with other soaps, for the grand opening of the first Lush Oxford Street Superstore.

It’s cool looking with the oakmoss hanging all over the soap.  They say you can use the oakmoss as an exfoliant, however i pick it off before i use it.

Its scent stays on the skin for hours.

Lush description:  Sympathy for the Devil

Scrub your sins away with this raw and earthy oakmoss and oakwood soap.

Big Bang

Here’s a link to a youtube video I made of the “Big Bang” bubble bar in the tub.  I like the bright, sweet citrus smell, and the colors of the blue bar itself, and the pink bath melt part in the middle…It’s irresistable to anyone, and everyone.

Lush description:  It started with a bang – Start baths off with a lemon myrtle bang. Lie back and think of the universe.

I took pictures of two different bars. The pink melty part melted on the one in the photos below, but it looks kind of cool.

Ingredients:  Avocado butter, perfume, grapefruit oil, organic lemon myrtle oil, tangerine oil, extra virgin olive oil (bath melt), rice syrup.

Ylang Song

4.5 out of 5 rating

See my demo video of this close up in the tub.

A Lush Ltd employee contacted me the other day and asked of i had tried this bomb. They said they had a feeling i would like this one. So i looked for one and bought one from Ebay.

Lush says: “Tunisian neroli, Peruvian Rosewood erupt into a sensual world tumbling peony petals.”

And after using it;  Yes this does remind me of an old school lush bath bomb because of the flowers.

This bomb reminds me very much of a Monet painting, perhaps the coloring in the painting “water lillies”.  When the bomb finished dissolving, what’s left looks like a painting; a beautiful spring green background with purple petals strewn about. Oh my. And the smell is very nice in my opinion. It’s floral, woody, fruity. But it all blends together do beautifully. Like bathing in a fairy glade.

The gorgeous ingredients are: Ylang ghana oil, neroli, rosewood, rose oil, peony petals, yellow rose petals, and purple everlasting flower.

I became 6 years old once again. I played with the flowers, arranging them on the side of the tub and gazing at the beautiful colored petals.

Here’s a link to a youtube video i made of the Ylang Song in the tub.
