Easter Turtle

4 out of 5 rating

Lush made this shower jelly for Easter 2024.

Its a beautiful color of green., two or three shades of green.

Lush How to use: 
“Sweep this seaweed surfer over your body and hair to create rich hydrating suds. Use at room temperature, cool in the fridge, or even in the freezer for the ultimate oceanic shower!”

Its so cute. I love turtles.

Some people use the shower jellies whole in the shower like soap. Some cut them in large pieces and use one of the pieces in the shower like a soap. And some cut a larger piece and chop that up into tiny pieces, then put so the pieces in a plastic seive, then hold the seive under the tub faucet and when the water stream hits it it will make foam in the tub. And the foam will smell good and it wont color the water.

Some have even come up with a way to put the whole thing in a blender with othrr liquids and blend it until it becomes somewhat like the consistency of shower gel.

Lush description:

“Snap up this turtle-shaped jiggly jelly, and lather up in citrusy suds of orange flower absolute while riding waves of skin-softening seaweed that’ll refresh you like a dip in the sea.

Our dried kelp and bladderwrack seaweed is hand-harvested from the coast of Ireland, and helps to draw moisture into the skin, keeping you fresh and hydrated.”

Ingredients

Glycerine, Bladderwrack Seaweed Infusion, Sugar Kelp Infusion, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, Carrageenan Extract, Myrrh Resinoid, Orange Flower Absolute, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Water (Aqua), Gardenia Extract, *Eugenol, Perfume, Colour 45350, Colour 42090

Easter Turtle is a..fresh, clean scent with a touch of floral, earthiness, andvspice. Seaweed, Myrrh, Orange Flower, and Cinnamon leaf oil. I dont smell any of these as notes, it just blends together to form the scent.

Its the same scent as Apple Crumble bubble bar, and I can resist everything but Temptation shower gel.

Sticky Dates products

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! 😄

Oudhess shower gel

5 out of 5

Made with the Lush “Zen” soap scent which is the originating Lush product in this same scent. It smells woody and kind of green. It can smell kind of incense-y but this is not a sweet scent at all. If you like ‘Earthy’ scents you’ll probably like it. If you only like sweet scents, or fruity or light pretty white florals then you might not like the scent.

I was right! Oudhess is the same scent as Goddess, which is also made with Oudh, as i had guessed. I didn’t have anymore Goddess shower gel anymore to check the ingredients, but i found the empty container of the goddess hair moisturizer. 😄 same ingredients on this Goddess hair moisturizer; oudh, jasmine, osmanthus, rose and sandalwood.

Its a remake of Goddess shower gel with a different name. Goddess has Oudh in it too. Its a woody, green, and floral scent.

It looks just as pretty as the original Goddess shower gel. 😍

All of these Lush products in my photo sbove in the Goddess range have the same ingredients and scent. Oudh, Jasmine, Rose, Osmanthus, and Sandalwood.

Sakura

3 out of 5 rating

See my tub demo video below

A photo of the Sakura i bought in 2021

Mimosa in the moonlight. I knew this smell right away, I used to walk around these trees at my fathers house that had the fuzzy lavender colored flowers on it and the smell was heavenly. A sweet yet powdery flower the mimosa. It is lavender in color and fuzzy like a soft pink brush. Sometimes it smells like a light melon scent too. Mimosa is what the “Sakura” ballistic is scented with.

Mimosa tree flowers

In Japan Sakura stands for Cherry Blossoms.

Cherry Blossom tree

This has no color in the water.

a picture of the Sakura i bought in 2005

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Sea Salt, Lemon Oil, Mimosa Absolute, Orange Blossom Absolute, Jasmine Absolute, Gardenia Extract, FD&C Red No. 4, FD&C Blue No. 1

Lush 2006 description: Sakura is the japanese name for cherry blossom which aptly describes this pretty pale pink ballistic. Sakura is dappled with bursts of pale green that rise up to a bright pink and green layer of exfoliating sea salt at the top of the bomb

Sakura doesnt color the water.

This has been one of Lush’s regular year round bath bombs since 2004 or so. And its still sold in stores today.

Its a fast dissolving fizzing type of bath bomb, not a slow, melty, foam typeof bomb. It has a lovely floral scent with blue and pink salt crystals on the top.

My photo below shows the different products that Lush has made throughout the years that have the same scent.

There’s one or two more products in this scent family that arent in my group picture.

Goddess Perfume

5 out of 5 rating. The perfume was made in the same scent as the original bath bomb, The bath bomb was made for Ariana Grande’s video ‘God is a Woman’.

The scent of the perfume and the bath bomb is made in the Lush “Zen” soap fragrance. Its a combination of earthy, green and floral notes.

I describe the fragrance in detail in my video below. I love this fragrance! That’s no. surprise i guess because i loved the Zen soap from which this scent comes from.

Jack Constantine at Lush mimicked the gorgeous muted colors of blue, lilac, gray, silver, green in the video within the bath bomb.

Its scent is a combination of earthy, green and floral. It smells like the video looks if that makes sense. I think Jack did an excellent job of creating the feel and vibe of Ariana’s video into this perfume scent.

Goddess bath bomb

Goddess shower gel

There is also a Goddess perfume oil, which has a lot more staying power than the spray perfume. There was also a gold and purple soap

Goddess Hair Moisturizer

Love Island scrub

3 out of 5 rating

See my Sink Demo Video below.

love island is a sand based body scrub. Its a small one. It’s good that its smaller though because this style of scrub does tend to dry out faster. So one should use it right away or else cover it in an empty black lush pot.

Its a coarser grade scrub than many of lush different scrubs. But it makes sense that this one is made out of sand, since itssupposed to be reminiscent of an island after all.

Lush made this scrub with their Love fragrance which is a lemon, rose, jasmine, apple and cinnamon scent. I describe the ingredients on my video.

Here’s my 2 minute demo video i recorded for you.

American Pie body conditioner

4 out of 5 rating

See my 6 minute sink demo of both the potted and naked versions video below.

I love that Lush made a body conditioner from one of its popular hair conditioner (American Cream) fragrance. And i like that they named it American Pie like the exclusive shower jelly from a couple of years back from lush.co.uk

The fragrance of it is akin to a vanilla milkshake. In fact the hair conditioner which started this all was made to mimic an American cocktail which tastes like a vanilla milkshake.

Lush has made more than a dozen different products in this same blend of vanilla, lavender, clary sage and strawberry juice.

Think of this as a hair conditioner for the body. In my demo video i show how to apply it and how to rinse it off.

This works well for me. I live in the desert southwest and my skin is VERY dry and this works really well at moisturizing without feeling greasy or oily.

Aubergine

5 out of 5 star rating.

See my 2 minute Tub Demo Video below 🙂

 

Aubergine is what the people in the Uk call Eggplant. it’s an eggplant shaped bath bomb…for Valentine’s 2019.

It’s made in the Lush signature ’29 High Street’ perfume fragrance.

There was also an Aubergine soap.

Lush sells an exclusive perfume that is made to smell like a lush store. it has that Lush smell.

Pia, the lovely person who created the original scent (called HQ) explained to me how she created the scent, and what lush store product scents were used to create the fragrance. Karma, Honey i washed the kids, happy hippy, etc.

The result is a sweet, orange citrus with a floral background. it’s strong, heady and perfume-y. The fragrance has lots of expensive ingredients.

it does indeed smell just like a Lush shop.

This bath bomb produces a slow foaming fizz, with hues of purple, green, pink and blue. And a drop dead gorgeous hue of deep, jewel toned purple, with purple shimmer throughout.

Here is my 2 minute Tub Demo Video

 

I’m glad i got six.

Avocado Co Wash scent family

There are one or two other products that arent in this photo.

All the avocado co wash products made by Lush over the years and currently are listed below in order of the originating product at the top of the list.

Avocado Co Wash hair conditioner

Avocado Co Wash shower gel. This is a thick shower gel.

Avocado Co Wash body lotion

Melusine exclusive, limited edition bath bomb

Avocado Co Wash exclusive uk body spray

Avocado Co Wash naked shower cream

Minamisoma shower oil

I’m also checking to make sure that one of the Lush 2018 ‘bauble melts’ isnt avocado Co Wash scented.

 

Its a very sour lime scent with a nice sweet note in it. It’s quite a big burst of a limey 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.

There is rosemary, nettle, vinegar and lavender flower in the conditioner.

Lush American Cream scent family photo

American Cream is a vanilla based scent which also has clary sage, and lavender as its scent components.  The hair conditioner added strawberry.  The other American Cream products have strawberry in them…but….American Cream products do not smell like strawberry.  It’s made with strawberry, it’s not strawberry scented. And in the perfumery industry there IS a difference between those two sentences. :-)I like to make that clear, so that people won’t spend their hard earned money on something that they think will be strawberry scented, only to be disappointed when it’s not.

And rest assured Lush doesn’t claim the American cream scent smells like strawberry either.  I know because I’ve talked the the owner of lush about this very thing.

Now, onto what it DOES smell like, to most people, including myself.  It smells like creamy vanilla, with a light whiff of herbal clary sage and a pinch of herb-y lavender.

Below i’ll list what is shown and what isn’t shown in my photo above.

The Comforter bath bomb

5 out of 5 rating

See my 2 minute Tub Demo below

Lush has opened up a new store in the Harajuku area of Japan. At this new, special store Lush will sell 35-50 exclusive bath bombs. One of these exclusive Japan Harajuku store bombs is The Comforter.

The scent is supposed to smell like the popular ‘Comforter’ bubble bar and shower gel. Its a berryish scent made with black currant (cassis) and bergamot. These combine to make a lushious, slightly fruity scent.

Lush used to sell in store a Comforter shower cream and they currently sell a large pink and white swirly bubble bar. Lush also made an exclusive perfume and sold it at lush.co.uk once

Lush Description:

Fizzing fast to create fruity foam of purple, pink and white, this cloud-like ball of cassis will help you unwind before you hit the hay. A merry berry blanket of blackcurrant comforts and a burst of brightening bergamot oil refreshes and resets the mind. Meanwhile, soothing cypress oil ushers in a tide of comfort and joy.

It doesnt have the acrid note that some of the comforter products have. This bomb has nothing but a smooth, slightly sweet creamy cassis and bergamot note.

It seems to have an almost vanilla-like note as well.

The deep pink is gorgeous with the undulating, glittery sparkle.

Yuzu and Cocoa bath bomb

3.5 out of 5 rating. See my 1 minute tub demo below

Lush has opened up a new store in the Harajuku area of Japan. At this new, special store Lush will sell 35-50 exclusive bath bombs. One of these exclusive Japan Harajuku store bombs is this Yuzu and Cocoa.

The scent is supposed to smell like Yuzu which is a asian citrus fruit. And they add powdered cocoa to the mix.

Lush used to sell in store a Yuzu and Cocoa shower cream and a Yuzu and Cocoa bubble bar. Lush also made an exclusive perfume and sold it at lush.co.uk once

This does have glitter. It has something in it that seems to be somewhat conditioning to my skin also.

The scent is nice and strong.

When i compare it to the other exclusive bath bombs it isnt one of my favorites. But it is good.

if you like all things in this scent i would recommend it.

In my photo below are other lush products made with the yuzu and cocoa scent.

Keep It Fluffy

5 out of 5 rating

In my picture above are my now empty Original cut crystal Keep It Fluffy perfume on the left from 2006, and a new bottle on the right from 2019. The pink one in the middle is a Lush bubble bar recently made in Lush UK called ‘Keep It Fluffy Bubble Bottle’.

I have all the Keep It Fluffy products Lush/B Never made from 2006 onwards to the present 2023.

Keep It Fluffy was at one time my favorite of the 15 fragrance lines that Lush sold at their sister store ‘B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful‘ 2005-2008. Keep It Fluffy was a large line of products. Its a light and pretty fragrance. Its got rose petal infusion, vanilla, jasmine, lemongrass, and ylang ylang.

When i smell Keep It Fluffy I usually smell the rose petal infusion, then the Ylang Ylang and jasmine. I dont usually pick up the lemongrass.

Some people don’t like it, and some people love it. So id go by the notes if youre trying to make a decision on buying or not.

If youre familiar with the Lush/B Never ‘Two Hearts’ fragrance..its *somewhat* similar notes, except Two Hearts is more jasmine forward and has no vanilla or lemongrass.

There are some kinds of products that carry the KiF scent better than others. Lush had a bath bomb which was lovely and so was the soap. The perfume is iffy because i have tge originals to compare it to and for sone reason the original is better scented. It should be the other way around right? The older one shouldnt smell better than the new one. So this tells me that Lush is using less of some ingredient than they used to.

Also, if youve used or smelled the Lush ‘Turkish Delight’ smoothie, that is made with the KiF scent. I love the scent in the smoothie.


Here’s an empty bottle of one of my Lush Keep It Fluffy perfumes. Lush made these cut crystal bottles for us on the Lush Uk forum. The one next to it was a body spray.

This is one of my ‘if you were on a deserted island’ Lush perfumes.

Here’s my video

In my photo below I gathered all my Keep It Fluffy products. The container was a handmade Lush Keep It Fluffy gift set container.

rose petal infusion, jasmine flower infision, vanilla, lemon grass and ylang ylang.

It’s a beautiful, innocent soft floral with citrus notes. Its not sweet. Well maybe a tiny bit sweet. Very little.

 I have a bunch of Lush Keep it Fluffy things. Some of the containers are empty. And i still have bubble bars, empty shower gels and other bath stuff in this scent. Myself and others have been hinting to Mark C from Lush about re-making keep it fluffy for a few years now.

Maybe someday. I can always hope. 

ETA: Lush has Brought Keep It Fluffy back!

Above is my empty bottle of ‘Rose Tinted Spectacles’ which was a liquid bubble bath that was sold at the B Never store and its the Keep It Fluffy scent.

ETA: As of 2021 Lush now sells this perfume again! I think it’s limited edition.

The ‘Keep It Fluffy bubble bottle’ bubble bar on the left is in the same shape as the perfume bottle. Lush made these in 2019

Heres a keep it fluffy bath bomb thst Lush made as a Lush product and wasn’t at their B Never boutique.

Also in the Keep It Fluffy scent is the ‘Funny Face’ Fun bar, which was exclusive and free at a Lush Event in England for one night. A very lovely woman got one for me 🙏🏼❤️

Funny Face was an old movie with Audrey Hepburn.

The lights in the display room were a pink neon

Mint bubble brush

Mint bubble brush is one of three new ‘bubble brush’ design type of re-usable bubble bars from Lush Cosmetics.

Lush has come out with five new re-usable bubble bars, three of them being in the bubble brush type. Mint is the blue one. Its got a minty scent that isnt too sweet. In fact i i wish it were a *bit* more sweet. Its the scent of their ‘Freeze’ shower gel.

Its not quite like Christingle body conditioner. Mint bubble brush isnt that sweet. Its the scent of their ‘Freeze’ shower gel.

I love the deep blue hue one can attain with this bubble bar. Its tun to drip blotches of blue on the bubbles. And it’s fun to paint the bubbles as i show in the video.

I enjoy combining colors, as those of you who have seen my bath cocktails know. I often like to create gradients or ombre effects with different bath products.

Well these new Lush bubble bars lend themselves well to this kind of blending, as ive tried to show below.

I think these new bubble brush bars are quite fun. I like that the three primary colors are represented. I would give these bubble brush bars a 4 out of 5. While i don’t particularly like the re-usable bubble bars as much as the regular lush bubble bars, these are fun because you can use them in different ways. I would buy another one of each color. But it’s not one i would stock up on.

Scent Family – Big Calm

Lush Big Calm Jelly was first, as a retro item, sold in stores in 2005, 2006 and then sold again on line only in Lush’s “retro’ section in 2009-2011, then remade and sold again in the online Lush Kitchen as an exclusive item four times from 2015-2017.

the scent is made with real pineapple juice (ive seen the pineapples in the lush im factory refrigerator) and coconut oil.

Lush Kitchen made the Big Calm body lotion and the solid Big Calm perfume exclusively in the Lush Kitchen in 2016 and nowhere else and at no other time than the one time only.

Then Lush introduced the Yellow Submarine bath bomb as an exclusive at the Lush Summit 2017. Now the Yellow Submarine is a regular in store bath bomb sold currently and on their mail order website.

here are some photos that i’ve taken of these products from 2006-2018

Lush Introduced their new ‘Coco Loco’ solid shower oil at the 2018 Lush Summit.
