Scrumptious Smoothie
Ingredients: blueberry infusion, walnut oil, glycerine, vegetable soap, fresh orange juice, sodium lauryl sulphate, fresh banana, lime oil, lemon oil, methyl paraben, propyl paraben
Review: Scrumptious Smoothie is nice. Mostly it smells of bananas with some citrussy notes that are probably coming from the blueberries. It’s the consistency of Sympathy for the Skin body lotion and it looks yummy. As you can see from the second pic my “pointy stick of doom” thickness test indicates that’s it’s 2nd in thickness to Whitewash, and thicker than Lush Lime smoothie. Scrumptious isn’t my Number 1 smoothie, but it is right up there with the best of the smoothies. It’s fun to use this. I would recommend getting it if you have the chance.
Lush Times 1999 description: Yes, really it’s a soap not an ice cream sundae. Bananas, lemons, limes, oranges, and blueberries make the Scrumptious eponymously scrumptious and clean your body too; the lemon exfoliates, walnut oil moisturizes while lime oil refreshes the skin and uplifts a tired mind.
Hot Toddy
4 out of 5 rating. smells of cloves, cinnamon
This is such a popular lush product with Lushies. It was never sold as a regular year round product, it was a Mid to late 2000’s Christmas limited edition bubble bar.
This came out for Yule 2003. It smells nice and warm for the winter months. It smells spicy, orangey, foody, and a little spicy like Coca Cola or something. I am the only Old skool Lushie on the planet who doesn’t think Hot Toddy is the best thing since sliced bread. That said I do think it’s good. I would rate it a 4 out of 5 rating, meaning i would sugfest you try it, i may buy one more. Versus a 5 out of 5 rating would mean i would be buying five or more of them to stock up.
Someone asked me if i thought Hot Toddy smelled the same as the Lush ‘Jolly’ shower gel. They share similar ingredients like orange oil, cinnamon, and clove but Jolly is heavier on the orange, while Hot Toddy is a tad heavier on the cinnamon.
Lush Times description: The hot toddy is our Celtic grandmother’s cure for a cold or a chill: whiskey (or whisky), lemon juice, honey and hot water. The Lush Hot Toddy will suit even the tee-total grans because you don’t drink it, you crumble it under the running water to make a warm, fruity, spicy bath with lemon peel, muscovada sugar, cinnamon, lime, clove and a pinch of paprika and a hint of soothing patchouli. It takes the chill off after coming in from the cold.
Ingredients: 100g £1.95
Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Perfume, Cocamide DEA, Clove Leaf Oil, Patchouli Oil, Lime Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Orange Oil, Muscovada Sugar, Lemon Peel, Crushed Cinnamon, Paprika Oleoresin.
The previous incarnation of the Lush Kitchen made the hot toddy bubble bar again and the shower gel a couple of times in 2014, and 2016.
Lush made a shower gel (and a few other things) in tge mid 2000’s from this scent because Lushies were begging for a shower gel in the same scent.
Other Lush products in this same scent family are Holly Golightly bubble bar, Melting Snowman bath melt, orange and spice bath melt tablet’
Happy Skin
Lush ‘Happy Skin’ facial exfoliator
This is a Lush Uk subscription box exclusive for September 2021.
Have you tried it? What do you think?
Box
I like this. It smells kind of like theres a bit of honey in it. I dont believe there is any in this but that’s what it smells like.
Its got very fine exfoliation from the finely ground tagua beans.
Its a thick consistency and my skin feels great after i used it. My pores are smaller and my skin issoft. I do need moidturizer after using it but i always use moisturizer throughout the day anyway so.
If youve tried Lush Smugglers Soul facial exfoliator this Happy Skin is the same fineness of scrub but its a thicker consistency and it smells different. Like a light smell of nuts and honey.
Lord of Misrule body lotion
5 out of 5
Lush Uk made these exclusive lotions that they’ve never made before a couple of years ago around 2018.
The lord of Misrule lotions smells exactly like the shower gel and bath bomb. Made with Vanilla, Patchouli, and Black Pepper. Yummy.
I made a video showing it below. In the video i showed exactly how thick it is.
Here’s a scent family photo below. The lotion was made after i took this photo.
Lush Kitchen Subscription Box October 2021
The Lakes
4 out of 5 rating
This is a new exclusive bath bomb made for the August 2021 Lush Kitchen Subscription box.
Lush New Exclusive bath bomb ‘The Lakes’.
Inspired by Taylor Swift.
This has a brand new scent. It’s an earthy, incensed, green scent made with osmanthus, oak moss, myrrh, and siberian fir needle.
It’s a slow, melty foamy bomb. It’s a mint green with flecks of pink in it and fine silver shimmer in it.
The scent stays on my skin long after i dry off and get dressed. It’s a subtlety earthy, sensual scent.
I like this bomb. It’s a different color for Lush and a different scent. It’s not a sweet scent but an earthy green one. Kind of like the classic lush green scents.
Here’s a link to my tub demo 😊

Squeak
4 out of 5 rating
See my demo video below
Made with big chunks of sea salt and lots of yummy tropical fruits such as mango, papaya, pineapple, lemon, and kiwi. Smells even more fruity and delicious than Lush I Love Juicy shampoo.
It’s a thick consistency, sort of like the consistency of Big liquid shampoo. I attached a vid to show the texture.
This is made for fine, limp hair and oily i normal hair. It’s not for my dry, thick, wavy hair.
After using it I can totally see how this woukd make thin hair thicker. It works well for that.
A little goes a long way. I have long hair. You have to make sure you rinse your hair well to get the small salt chunks out of your hair. It smells so good.
This was a surprise in the Lush July 2021 subscription box.
Have you tried it? Do you like it? Or not so much?
I wonder if Lush will have it in stores for the general public or if it will stay an exclusive one time thing.
Here is my video

Now is the voting time. Voting is open until August 5.
My reviews, descriptions and pictures of them are at the links below to help you make your voting choices. 😊
Summer Blues bath bomb (omg)!😱 so rare
Grass solid shampoo
I’ve used all of these before and Here’s what i voted for
Hmm on Seot 30 2021 i saw this from one of the Lush product creators. I wonder if they’re talking about a candle?
Avocado No-Wash
Lush ‘Avocado No-Wash body lotion
This has never been made for the public. Lush, Mark Constantine let us vote for which community favorites product we would like in a body lotion in 2018.
Its up for the vote for the Lush Kitchen September 2021 Subscription Box.
5 out of 5 rating for scent and 3 out of 5 rating for performance.
It was made in rhe wonderful ‘Avocado Co Wash’ solid shampoo scent.
The scent is a tart lime scent with a nice sweet note in it. It’s quite a big burst of a lime-y fragrance made with sweet, fruity bergamot oil, fragrant incense-y yet citrussy frankincense (olibanum), and the lemony litsea cubeba herb.
There is the addition of avocado, which is moisturizing and softening for skin and hair.
I like other products in this scent more than the body lotion. Its SO conditiining that it takes along time for it to dry on my skin so i can handle my camera or phone without getting them covered with lotion.
I loved the Melusine bath bomb, the shower gel and then the Minamisoma shower oil the most.
Karma shower jelly
Never made for the public, this has only originally been made in 2006 for uk forum members, and made in the Lush Kitchen a couple of times in 2014 and 2016. Its up for the vote for the September 2021 Lush subscription box.
5 out of 5 rating
If you like the Karma scent this jelly will make you happy.
Its strong with the classic orange oil, patchouli, lemon grass, and pine scent of Karma.
Its a red orange color with no sparkles.
I usually cut some up, put it in a small plastic kitchen seive and hold it under the falling water and it makes tons of karma scented bubbles in the tub.
I added a Karma scent famy (which is one of the biggest scent families) on the last photo, and there are four more newer products missing from the photo already!
The Godmother
4 out of 5 rating
As in Fairy Godmother 😊This was originally made in 2008 and discontinued around 2011 i think.
Its up for the vote for the September 2021 Lush Kitchen Subscription Box.
The previous incarnation of the Lush Kitchen remade this in 2015.
Its made with the sweet and spicy scent of Candy Fluff/Melting Marshmallow Moments.
Lush 2008 description:,Despite our Ballistics, skincare, haircare and all other wonderful things for our baths showers and bodies, people tend to call Lush “That soap shop”. This is fair, because we do make exceedingly good soaps. We looked into this (technically Pia looked into it and we were all very interested) and found that 68% of people in the UK wash their hands with washing up liquid. Thats just not right. Its not good for your hands. Stop it! Mo, our soap supreme, has made this special soap (scented with our best selling Candy Fluff scent) for keeping by the kitchen sink. Think of it as your fairy godmother for the hands.
Ingredients Water (Aqua) , Palm Free Soap Base, Propylene Glycol , Sodium Coco-Sulfate , Sodium Stearate , Perfume , Synthetic Musk , Glycerine
I like the scent of this soap. The first thing I did was to get the package and before I opened it I could smell the Candy Fluff scent that I love. It’s a fruity, pink, with purole sparkkes and a sweet pink, effervescent smelling fragrance. If you like the Candy Fluff powder, or Marshmellow Melting Moments bath melt you will love this soap.
It’s such a gorgeous color of dark rose pink. The Godmother is not exceptionally drying to my hands nor is it moisturizing , but somewhere in the middle.
I was surprised at how low lathering this soap was. The scent stays on my hands for a goodly while. I did notice that the Godmother lather was minimwl. The Godmother didn’t leave my hands dry.
This was the whole huge truckke of soap in the stores that tgey woukd cut pieces off of for selling.
Summer Blues
4 out of 5
A beautiful, fresh floral scent.
This is up for the vote for the September 2021 subscription box. 🤞🏽
This is rare. Lush has never remade this since it was originally sold in 2004. Not even in the previous incarnation of the Lush Kitchen. I pray this gets enough votes. 🙏🏼
This is (was) a lovely powdery, Summer floral bath bomb available in the UK and in some NA gifts. Lots of pretty, tiny blue flower petals in this one. Summer Blues also turns the water a pale blue.
Lush used to make a liquid bath oil called Dreaming of Summer and this was the precursor to Summer Blues bomb. I love having them together but if you don’t like bits in your bath (and on your skin if you use the bath oil with it.) then you can simply put the bomb in a pop sock or a kitchen seive, as just the smell and water color is worth it. Here is a picture of the Dreaming of Summer bath oil.
Summer Blues’ fresh scent lasts on the skin longer than most Lush scents too. It’s a similar fresh, spring air scent that is in Lush’s “Oxeo Cube” deo and “Tiptoe Thru The Tulips” soap. I don’t usually combine these with anything.
Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Blue Mallow Flowers, Larkspur Flowers, Cornflower Petals, Rose Absolute, Orange Blossom Absolute (Citrus dulcis), Lemongrass Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Colour 42045.
Lush Times Summer 2004 description: Drop this in the bath and you’ll get a blue pond full of three kinds of blue flower petals, scented with soothing rose, calming and reviving orange blossom, relaxing jasmine and lemongrass to lift your spirits. It’s like buying a ticket and hopping on the magic bus to a warm, summer garden. Float in a warm bath of flowers and you’ll discover that the Summer Blues Bath Ballistic is one of the fastest ways to rid yourself of winter miseries.
The Sicilian
Lush ‘The Sicilian’ bath bomb.
Made in the early 2000’s. Discontinued about four years later.
this is one of five products here that are up for the vote for the August 2021 Lush subscription box.
This bath bomb was always a staple for me, and probably becuase my favorite smell is the smell of fresh peeled oranges.
Its a fast fizzing bomb not a slow melting creamy one. no bath art. no glitter.
This is made with four different orange ingredients: Mandarin, Orange, Neroli, and Tangerine.
It also has marigold flower petals mixed in and an orange slice.
The reference comes from the book/movie ‘The Godfather’ which is about a mafia boss from Sicily (and one of my favorite movies). In it the director has something about oranges in every killing scene. 😊
Lush made asoap called Sunny Citrus which is in the same scent.
Lush 2005 Description: Why Sicilian? Well, we named it thus because of the organic Sicilian oranges we slice up and put inside each one and because its sunny colour and refreshing citrus scent remind us of the fruit trees in Sicily’s fertile valleys. We pack it with refreshing, uplifting orange, tangerine and mandarin oils to make us feel almost as good as if we were tootling around on a Vespa with the warm wind messing up our hairdo.
LT 2004: The Sicilian is a bath for brightening up dull days;even sunny days can appear dull when there’s nothing exciting to look forward to. If you know your’re going to spend all day in meetings, or in a room with no daylight or haivng tea with yoru dullest relative thake a Sicilian bath first. The reviving essential oils, made from Sicilian oranges, mandarins, tangerines and orange flowers will cheer you up so much you might actually find you enjoy yourself! Share citrus Sicilians with your co-workers and relatives and all your days will be summer.
Ginger body lotion
Lush ‘Ginger’ body lotion.
Ginger perfume is one of those products that lush started selling when they were called ‘Cosmetics To Go’ in the 90’s. It was VERY popular.
This is a pic of mine in the white pot, but now they’re in black pots.
Up for the vote for the August 2021 Lush Kitchen Subscription Box.
Its made with rose, jasmine, ginger root. It’s a VERY floral scent. And a bitter floral, not a sweet scent.
There are around 12 Lush products that i have had over the years which were made in this same Ginger scent.
I’ve had a love/hate relationship with this scent. I used to like it a lot. But now i don’t. I love rose, i love jasmine and i love ginger root, so i’m not sure why i don’t like it. It’s VERY strong.
Do y’all like this scent? Or not so much?
