Launching in US & Canada on the Lush app on April 9th and online from April 11th.
See you then, ogre-achievers! #LushXShrek
Bought these today. I didnt buy the body spray. It’s Expensive. But since the shower gel is the same scent as the body spray ill see how i like the shower gel. Then If im in love with the shower gel then maybe ill buy the body spray.
Here’s my unboxing video. 😊
Im recording an unboxing video today with my opinions on these.
Fiona shower gel
I love the shower gel. Its my favorite item in the Shrek products group.
It has a cool color effect of being yellow and green, which you vsnt really see in the Lush pictures.
Lush created Sticky Dates shower gel a couple of years ago during the holidays. It became so popular that Lush made other kinds of products with the sticky dates fragrance/ingredients.
For Easter 2024 Lush has added a body lotion, a body spray fragrance, and a sugar scrub.
😊 In my ten minute video below i review, demo, rate, describe each of these products.
Shower gel 5 out of 5 rating
The shower gel is my favorite of the bunch and its also one of my top favorite lush shower gels.
Its dark, thick and rich with the scent of sticky toffee pudding. Carob, orange, vanilla, date syrup, sandalwood.
It smells like a brown sugar and toffee desert you would want to eat. Like sticky toffee pudding, which is made with dates too, amongst other good things.
Sticky toffee pudding
Ive never wanted to eat a Lush product more than i do this shower gel. Okay maybe Posh Chocolate or B Never gel too. 😄
Its a nice thick gel.
Sugar scrub 4.5 out of 5
I love the light and dark brown swirls that go through the wholecontainer of sugar scrub. I also enjoy the gold on the top.
I demo this scrub on my arm at the sink in my video above and i show the consistency of it up close.
It smells the most close to the shower gel as far as the rick, sticky toffee scent.
Next in line in terms of ratings
Body lotion 4 out of 5
Its thick but not greasy. Someof you know that alot of lotions are too greasy for me but this is nice and it smells good. Not quite as nice smling as the shower gel but close.
Body spray fragrance 3 out of 5 rating
It smells good when first sprayed, however as it dries it loses much of the richness It initially has like the rich scent of the shower gel. It smells less and less yummy the longer I wear it.
This is just on my skin, your mileage may vary.
In the lush photo below is the sticky dates soap which will available to purchase for Lush Mother’s Day. Can’t wait! 😄
Well, i havent used a Lush shower gel that i absolutely hate in a long time.
I had initially rated this a 1 out of 5, but i decided to give it a break because of the bright yellow color, which we dont see that often in a Lush shower gel. Thus i raised it to a 2 out if 5. Just a reminder that anything below a 3 means i wouldnt recommend.
So yeah, im sorry to anyone who loved this shower gel. I do not like this scent. yuk yuk yuk. Its so incredibly Bitter that i can barely sniff it. BITTER. Theres nothing renotely fruity, nor floral in this shower gel.
I didnt even have to read the ingredients to know that there was Petitgrain in this. As far as i’m concerned if lush puts petitgrain as one of the main ingredients, they better be putting something else thats stronger smelling with it. Which brings me to a question; as some of you know i fell in love with Plum Rain the moment i first opened the lid and smelled it. I really really like Plum Rain. So WHY do i tolerate the Petitgrain thats in Plum Rain but i dont tolerate Classy Diva GlitterX shower gel?
I’m guessing its because plum rain is paired with orange and plum, instead of only grapefruit with classy diva.
I can’t even smell it even one more time much less shower with it again.
And Lush made a body spray to go with this GliiterX shower gel…No comment.
3.5 out of 5 rating. See my video below where i (try) to describe it.
The scent of the jelly used to have honey, vodka and sweet Fig in it. But those aren’t in the ingredient list for the body spray.
It’s a challenging scent for me to to describe. It’s different than anything lush has made, except for the jelly. Quirky. It’s much better when it dries down. When it’s wet it’s more difficult for me to smell the notes. It’s got cinnamon, grapefruit, ginger and osmanthus.
Jilted Elf body spray becomes sweeter and more resinous once it dries down. It’s got light medium staying power, and not much throw.
This is such a very different scent. I love the Jilted Elf shower jelly. It’s like a cacophony of notes but somehow they work together!figs, ginger, cinnamon, grapefruit, vodka and honey. it’s both fruity and spicy. i’ll be buying the christmas body spray.
“Revel in this playful blend of sharp grapefruit to perk you up, and spicy cinnamon to get the blood pumping. Don’t leave this one behind this Christmas…”
Someone in my youtube comments described the scent well: Jalapeño Jelly Bellies
How to use: Spritz all over the body, avoiding the underarm area, for an instant pick-me-up!”
Here’s a demo video I made of Jilted Elf jelly being silly. Lush Times: Jilted Elf takes an alcoholic stumble around your shower, leaving wafts of fruit cocktails as he goes.
This is my favorite of the five exclusive body sprays that the Lush community voted for amongst the ten scents that Lush gave us to choose from.
Naturally i voted for this one. The Mama Mia body scrub is one of my all time favorite smelling products. The first time i sniffed that vanilla and pink grapefruit scent i was in love.I love all five of the scents that won, but Mama Mia is definitely my favorite.
It’s such a Yummy scent.
When the body spray is first sprayed on it smells like something you would eat for dessert. It smells like strawberry cake with orange icing. The scent stays true while it’s drying.
.
In 15 minutes it’s fairly dried down, and while the scent has faded somewhat the yummy notes still smell the same as when i first sprayed it on.
I am so glad Lush made this into a body spray. I would rate this a 5 out of 5.
If you like vanilla or pink grapefruit you’ll probably love this.
Mama Mia Solid body scrub
here’s my video where i describe the scents of all five and read the ingredients etc
Winter garden body spray is one of five exclusive new December 2020 body sprays out of nine that we voted on via the Lush Labs site. Winter Garden scent is from the Christmas 2020 bath bomb of the same name. Lush hasn’t made this scent before in a bath bomb, body spray nor any product.
It’s always exciting when Lush creates a new product with a new scent that has a really great scent. Winter Garden bath bomb is this kind of product, so it’s no wonder we voted for this to be made into a body spray.
Winter Garden is a floral scent with the primary note of ylang ylang. It smells pretty. It’s a somewhat more complex floral scent to my nose than some other Lush florals. Winter florals are represented here, on top of the bath bomb are yellow, pink and blue flower petals. They look so small and delicate and perfect, like fairies placed them there.
Winter Garden bath bomb
I sprayed a good single spray on each fore arm. Right off the bat the scent of different kinds of flowers came alive on my skin. It made me go ‘oooh!’. You have to love the scent of flowers to like this body spray, so if you’re not a florals person you may want to smell this in store if you can first. there is no citrus, fruity notes in this fragrance. Nothing that smells sweet nor anything bakery like. it’s not earthy smelling at all, nor are there any green or woody notes that i can pick out. Just a beautiful layering of florals. It’s smells like a winter wedding bouquet.
While i do like citrus scent,and all scents actually, i am a florals person by nature. Some of my most favorite Lush perfumes and Lush bath products have floral scents. Lush doesn’t make them too much anymore like they used to in the early 2000’s.
That’s why this body spray fragrance is so special to me.
It’s dried down on my arm now and it’s still quiet strong. It still maintains the complexity of the fragrance. it gets a wee bit more powdery as it dries, which is nice actually, it’s not so alcohol-y as it was when wet.
the use by date is October 2024
I will say that the scent is very ylang ylang forward. So if you don’t like ylang ylang..
I always have my husband smell it too and tell me what it smells like to him. My husband said he couldn’t quite tell but that it was nice. i said ‘it’s floral’. I knew he had bad experiences with florals. He tells me of when he was young and his school teacher used to come to his desk wearing a floral perfume that was so obnoxious it made him sick. When i asked him tonight’s s this perfume like your teachers floral perfume?’ He said ‘not at all’. I take that as a good sign. 🙂
I would recommend this. And i would rate it a 4 out of 5 rating.

Lush Jasmine Cream bath melt
Lush Winter Garden bath bomb
This bath melt has the same scent as Winter GardenJamine Cream bubble bar
Here’s a video that i created where i review, describe, rate each of the five new body sprays including Winter Garden.
These new body sprays come to Lush USA December 17 2020.
I demo and review this in my video below.
Sparkly Pumpkin is one of five body sprays that won the voting process from ten fragrances that we voted on. I didn’t vote for this one 🙂 That said, i do like the bubble bar that it’s named after. I just wanted to vote for the others more is all.
The bubble bar that this fragrance is made from smells more like fruit punch than the body spray. To me the Sparkly Pumpkin body spray seems fruity but with a slight floral/flowery, spicy note. It’s nice, just not as fruit punch-like as the Sparkly pumpkin bubble bar and the Mr. Punch soap.
lush description of the bubble bar:
At the end of a long day, pop this Sparkly Pumpkin into the bath. As you crumble its golden shimmeryness under running water, you’ll feel instantly re-energized. An uplifting blend of juniperberry, grapefruit and lime oils will fill the room with an enticing, cocktail-like punch. And as you sink deep under the glittering gold water, you won’t be able to keep from smiling – probably because this little pumpkin is made to make every day bright.
Mr Punch soap-same scent
In my photo below is the Lush exclusive ‘Sparkly Pumpkin Slime’.

Unlike some perfumes or body sprays sparkly pumpkin’s fragrance stays pretty much the same when it dries down as when it’s first sprayed. It’s got a decent amount of throw also., even after having dried a bit.
I like this Sparkly pumpkin body spray. I would rate this a 4 out of 5. It smells more like a grown up version of fruit punch 😉
Here’s a video i made reviewing, demoing and describing each of the five exclusive body sprays, including sparkly pumpkin.
Space Girl body spray was one of ten favorite Lush product fragrances that Lush had us vote from during their LushLabs voting. Space Girl was one of the five winning product fragrances with the most votes.
I’ve always loved the Space Girl bath bomb when it was sold in stores and i was so bummed when Lush discontinued it. It was made with Black currant, Grapefruit, and bergamot. And it was a pale lilac color with silver glitter mixed in and red glitter dust on top to simulate the planet saturn and its red dust rings. Once inside the water it would release a red glitter which would look like a comet on the bottom of the tub. SO cool.
The space girl fragrance is a fruity scent. It’s citrussy and berryish. Citrussy because of the grapefruit and bergamot, and berryish because of the black currant. Black currant is the main ingredient in ‘The Comforter’ just for reference.
black currantbergamotgrapefruitalmond essential oil
When i first spray the body spray on my arms it’s of course very strongly scented and alcohol-y. Also, when it’s wet i find that acrid note that some people find off putting in black currant. But once the body spray starts the dry down process on my skin-that acrid note disappears and just the fruity goodness remains.
The almond oil that Lush added to the body spray is nice. It adds a smooth and slightly sweet note to the fruity mix of citrus and berryliciousness.
As far as staying power this is better than most at staying true to it’s fragrance for any length of time once it dries down on the skin.
There’s a somewhat bitter note in between the fruity goodness. So it keeps the fragrance from being too sweet. The resulting scent reminds me of raspberry candy of some sort.
It’s not as sweet and fruity as Roller/Yummy Mummy for instance, but it’s more fruity and sweet than Sparkly Pumpkin.
I would recommend this if you like fruity scents that are different citrus/berry blends.
The scent lasts longer on the skin than Ectoplasm body spray, and about the same as the three others.

These are other Lush products with the same scent

And a new Lush Harajuku special edition bubble bar ‘Stargazer’.for 2020 sold on the Lush UK and the Lush USA web sites.

I would rate this a 4 out of 5 rating.
Here’s a video where i spray on, review and describe these five body sprays.
See my 3 minute description, demo & review video below.
Coco Loco is in the same scent family as Lush Big Calm shower jelly, Lush Big Calm body lotion, Big Calm solid perfume, Lush Yellow Submarine bath bomb, and Coco Loco solid shower oil.
Its made with orange oil, coriander, and lemon grass oil. The scent is a tropical pineapple and coconut smell.
When i first sprayed this on my arm once i did not smell anything remotely coconutty nor pineappleish. I was about to give this body spray a 2 out of 5 rating, meaning i wouldnt recommended…when i tried it again on my other arm, tbis time spraying two sprays instead of one and i waited until it wad totally dry which was 15 minutes later. i sniffed my arm and finally! I was able to smell that tropical scent i remember so well and enjoy in the Big Calm jelly!
So the key to this particular body spray is to wait until its totally dry before you make a decision.
That said, its not as strong of a scent as some of the other body sprays ive reviewed.
But its slightly swret and smells like a pina colada. So i raisedy initial rating of this body spray to a 3 out of 5 rating. Meaning i would recommend it, but there are many other body sprays that i would choose over Coco Loco.

“Need a mini vacation? Mist on a little Coco Loco for a fresh breeze of palm trees, sandy beaches and total relaxation. Brazilian orange, coriander and lemongrass oils give lightness to the creamy coconut base of this perfume, evoking memories of your perfect tropical getaway. This spritzer is just as deliciously scented as the shower oil of the same name, so layer on the scent after the shower to make the vacation vibes last a little longer.” Lush

I remember the first time i smelled a brand new ‘Yoga Bomb’ bath bomb when they first came out in Lush Uk. Oh my. It smelled both fruity and woody and floral. I was mesmerized. And of course the rainbow of color it produced hooked me even further. So i was very excited when i learned that Lush Uk were making a body spray fragrance of Yoga Bomb.
I hoped it would smell just like the bomb.
I am not disappointed. Not only does it smell like the bomb, it smells even stronger.
Its all at once spicy, woody, floral and fruity. Its only slightly sweet. Its made with frankincense, sandalwood, and ho wood. A perfect word for this fragrance is..meditative.
Unlike some lush body spray fragrances It smells the same wet as it does dry so there are no surprises with yoga bomb spray. It lasts long on my skin and my husband loves how i smell.
Im very glad i purchased this. Its on of my favorites in the lush body spray category.
“Inhale calm, exhale worries. This rich, grounding fragrance will have you feeling at peace in no time. A balancing blend of sandalwood, ho wood and olibanum oils offer an earthy, cleansing vibe, while its sunshiney cassie absolute aroma awakens your senses. This is the perfect spray to shake life back into your gym gear.”
Roller bath bomb is my favorite Lush bomb for looks and scent. I love everything in this scent family. I love the caramelly strawberry notes of this scent. Its very sweet and very strong when first sprayed. So keep in mind if you dont like sweet scents you might not enjoy roller spray.
As i show in the video i sprayed 1 1/2 sprays and as soon as it dries down it lessens in strength but not as much asany body sprays do. Roller stays pretty true to how it smells in the bottle. It smells the ssme on my skin. I only had to spray this 2-3 times during the day for it to last all day so its fairly strong comparatively speaking.
Scent Description:Within this delectable strawberry and cream scent swims a harmonious mingling of geranium, fresh Brazilian orange and sweet tonka absolute.
You’ll love this if you like:
– Bold geranium florals.
– Magic Mushroom bubble bar or Yummy Mummy shower gel.
– Hitting the strawberry fields for some wholesome berry picking.
