Lush bomb

3 out of 5 rating

Has the Lush “Karma’ fragrance

Video coming soon

I liked this colorful Karma scented ballistic. It was very bright green and yellow because Lush thought it would be good to have a bath bomb in the same colors as the Lush logo was originally. It made a lovely bright yellow-green color in the water.

Ingredients: 180g  Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Patchouli Oil (Pogostemon cablin), Orange Oil (Citrus dulcis), Lavendin Oil (Lavendula hybrida), Pine Oil (Pinus), Lemongrass Oil (Cymbopogan flexuosus), Elemi Oil (Canarium commune), Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Colour 42050.

 

2002 Lush North America Lush Times description: There are only a few carefully chosen products to which we give the name ‘Lush’. The Lush Bath Bomb is the only one currently available; we named it because it encapsulates Lushness. It is green and yellow like a logo (with a little logo ribbon in case you hadn’t noticed) and it smells of our Karma perfume, which is pretty much what our shops smell like. You can find out more about Karma by reading the back page but essentially we’d like to fill the world with Karma fragrance; we’re taking one step closer by encouraging you to bathe in it.

Cloak of Invisibility

2.5 out of 5 rating

Only because i do not like the scent. However, it is quite beautiful, which is why this isn’t a 1 out of 5 rating. .

See my demo video of this in the tub, close up doing it’s thing.  It’s lovely movements, twirling gold and red, just like the spinning cloak.

If you just feel like disappearing for a little while, slip into the bath with this seductively relaxing bath oil and cloak yourself in floral jasmine absolute and mood-brightening ylang ylang oil. Before the doorbell rings, the dog barks or the children shout, pulling you out of your calm oasis and back into reality, enjoy nourishing Majorcan almond oil hydration… Who said that!

If you don’t like the 2014 Lush Valentine’s ‘Floating Flower’ bath bomb, you won’t like this one, because they both share their scent. It’s the “Flying Fox’ scent family that this belongs to.  I really don’t like the Jasmine scented ‘Flying Fox’.  Because i don’t like a lot of jasmine.  But loads of people like this one. It’s very pretty.

Santasaurus

4 out of 5 rating

See my demo video below

This is a cute re-usable bubble bar wand in the scent of Lush popular Honey I Washed the Kids fragrance. It’s a cute green dinosaur wearing a red santa hat. I couldn’t believe how many bubbles this made with barely leaving the water run on it for only a minute!
I can see how this would be economical because one could get two or three bubble baths out of it.

Lush says “Roaring fires signal the beginning of Christmas. Chilly toes wait eagerly for them. Blankets view them with a little jealous trepidation. They mean hot chocolate by the mugful, spicy punch by the tankard, games of charades, onesies, tinsel-covered trees, repeats on tv, mince pies and dinosaurs. And roaring fires aren’t just found in the fireplace; they’re found when you hold this Santasaurus under a raging tap and watch the bubbles of joyous Brazilian orange and fun, fruity bergamot oil fly out.”file-oct-13-1-39-46-pm

Here’s a six minute demo video i made of this cute little guy in the bath tub.

 

Snow Fairy body conditioner

4 out of 5 rating

 This smells even better than all the othrr Snow Fairy products. Its almost got a cherryish note added to it.

I love all the body conditioners that Lush make, i have dry skin as i live in the desert and i love how moisturizing it is without feeling greasy.

How Lush explained you use it after you wash up with soap or whatever you usually use, then after you rinse off you spread this body conditioner on your body. Then simply rinse off with warm water.

Im not crazy about the Snow Fairy scent, but this is wonderful! Makesskin incredibly soft with a yummy scent.

There’s a tiny bit of glitter in this just on the top.

Here’s a demo video of this up close and how i use it
 

Honey I Washed the Kids jelly


 

Lush.co.uk made these for one day only, to sell on their website.  I was lucky enough to be able to buy a couple because they went so fast, in seconds!   This would be a real good jelly to blend up into a thick shower gel type of consistency.  I cut mine into squares and use one swuare in the shower.  I also use them at the sink to wash my hands with.  The jelly stays solid when you wash it, so i just keep a piece in the soap dish.

This is the best Honey I Washed the Kids product that lush has ever made.  I freaked out at how strong the fragrance is in this jelly.  It’s a creamy, toffee, orange scent.  Absolutely yummy.  It leaves ones skin smelling yummy.  The scent stays on the skin a bit longer than other lush jellies.

Lush has made many products with this same scent.  Honey bee bath bomb, Ma Bar bubble bar, Mum reusable bubble wand, Honey I washed the kids soap, It’s Raining Men shower gel, honeyhugs shower gel, honey i washed the kids shower gel, Honey I washed the kids perfume spray, Shoot for the Stars bath bomb.

There more in my photo below. And there are a few that i don’t have in my photo nor in the list above the photo.

Here’s a video review i made of all these products .

Avowash soap

This doesn’t smell like Avobath bath bomb, nor does this smell like Avowash shower gel. This different smell altogether.

Water (Aqua), Sodium Palm Kernelate, Propylene Glycol, Fresh Avocado (Persea gratissima), Fresh Lemon Juice (Citrus limonum), Sodium Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Perfume, Pine Oil (Pinus), Colour 77801, Avocado Oil (Persea gratissima), Sodium Chloride, Glycerine, EDTA, Tetrasodium Editronate, Benzyl Benzoate, *Limonene, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Colour 42045. * Occurs naturally in essential oils

Review: I love the moisturization of this soap. I have dry skin so the avoacado really helps my skin from being dry. However, the smell just doesn’t do it for me. It’s too bitter for my taste. The Avocado and lemon oil is nice and I even like Lush’s Pine soaps, but the combination of the pine and the other stuff doesn’t work for me. I think if it was just an iota sweeter, it would be much better. So for smell I give it a 2 but for the help with my dry skin it gets a 2.5.

 

Description: Creamy green avocado soap: refreshing and nourishing.

Shut up and Get Over It (Jiggly’s Foxy Balls)

This bath bomb had the Lush ‘Happy 4 SAD’ shower gel SCENT. This was made for us one day on the Lush UK customer forum IN 2009. Jiggly’s Paul is a wonderful Lush staff member.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Coarse Sea Salt, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Grapefruit Oil (Citrus paradisi), Neroli Oil (Citrus Aurantium amara), Mandarin Oil (Citrus nobilis), *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 18050, Colour 61585.

* Occurs naturally in essential

 

Description: one time only Forum Special – Spring 2009 “That Foxy one has nagged poor Wesley and hounded him until he dare not appear out of doors. She wanted something to ease her Seasonal Adjustive Disorder with a large dose of neroli. Jigglypaul said that we should all shut up and get over it – but then he relented and sent his suggestion for this ballistic. So do you feel the blues breaking through during the long dark winters ?? If so, take one of these into the bath and watch the blues dissolve away, leaving you with a bright sunshine bath to lift your mind and spirits.

Go on, come over to the bright side !”

29 High Street shower gel

Made in the Lush Kitchen Friday July 28

I love this shower gel.  It’s a nice thick consistency.  It has great throw so you can smell the lovely scent all while you’re showering with it.  It’s lovely scent stays on the skin a bit longer than other lush shower gels.


It’s not particularly moisturizing, and doesn’t have any cocoa butter.  Nor does this shower gel have any glitter.

The 29 High Street was made to have the scent of a Lush store.  So various lush store favorites are represented here, honey i washed the kids, karma, avobath, etc.

To me it smells like a strong blend of sweet orangey and floral notes.

Because of these things, and also because this shower gel is so rare, I would rate this shower gel a 5 out of 5 rating.  I would highly recommend it.  I bought six bottles.
