Lush X Shrek collab. My unboxing video with opinions is below.
Another Lush collab 😊
Coming soon to a swamp near you … Launching in the UK on the Lush app first on March 22nd and online from March 25th.
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.
Lather up in liquid gold with our vegan shower gel that’s filled to the brim with plastic-free glitter and the mouthwatering toffee scent of Honey I Washed The Kids. The cheerful blend of Brazilian orange and bergamot oils make this shimmering wash the sweetest Easter treat there is.
This is good. I still dont like the consistency that Lush changed a few years ago. But i still use it because i live the smell and the gold sparkle.
Made in Canada.
Benefits:
– Brazilian orange oil is uplifting
– Fine sea salt gently exfoliates
– Plastic-free glitter won’t harm waterways
– We’ve made our recyclable bottles thinner to further reduce unnecessary plastic
In my photo below i gathered alk the Honey I Washed the Kids scented Lush products. Since i took this photo there have been about 4-5 more prodycts made in this scent.
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! 😄
Demon in the Dark scent is a mint apple clove scented shower gel. Spicy apples. What a wonderful thing.
The shower gel was made years after the soap was made. The soap was a regular year round store product for many years, thenlush discontinued it to make room for new soaps. The shower gel was an exclusive Lush product only available for one day in the UK on line retail site. And the UK LushKitchen once included the shower gel in our subscription box.
LT 2006 Description: Demon in the Dark is made with fresh, organic apple juice and an infusion of mint. This makes it stimulating for the skin and for your nose; just wait until you smell this one! Give it a big sniff and the dark green Demon gets straight up your nose and gives your head a blast of fresh, minty scent. It’s a devil of a good cleanser, with warming clove bud oil, revitalising peppermint and astringent apple. Wash your hair with Washday Greens, put on a Mask of Magnaminty and scrub up with Demon in the Dark for the Full Minty.
I took a picture of both.
Review: This is a minty and spicy shower gel with apple juice added. It smells more minty than anything, but with a spicy, clove note that goes well with the mint. It’s both cold and hot if that makes sense. It’s minty but not sweet minty and it’s refreshing. I think everyone should try this at least once.
There is a black covering or “rind” that can be peeled off, or you can leave it on. Lushies suggest that you put the bar in the freezer and it will be easier to peel if off.
It’s a nice spearmint soap with a lovely apple note as well.
Here’s a video of my Lush Demon in the Shower haul video .
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.
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.
This is a New Lush limited edition shower gel for Valentine’s 2022.
This is a new shower gel with a new scent. It’s an apple scent, but different than another Lush apple scent called ‘So White’. To me so white is more of a green apple scent and Temptation is more of a red apple scent.
Even though lush said its a new scent i found out from The_Lush_Box oninstagram that Lush made this shower gel in the same scent as their 2004 ‘Temptation’ soap
Heres a piece i took a photo of in 2006
It’s not a sweet scent. It reminds me of fresh green grass under an apple tree. The apple is more subtle.
A beautiful red color with no glitter.
My husband said he smells apple with a bit of floral. Neither one of us smell any hint of cinnamon in this shower gel.
It’s also made in the same scent as the Lush ‘Apple Crumble‘ bubble bar, and the Valentine’s 2024 Turtle jelly.
The gel is so thick that when you squeeze it out it falls out in ribbons. And i did my plate test in the video and it took a LONG time to drip down the plate.

Lush description: In the mood for love? This one’s packed with aphrodisiac ingredients like cinnamon, red rose petals, and ginseng. Perfect for sharing showers.
Lush: Whether you love to share showers or go it alone, you’ll want to get wild with this irresistible body wash. It starts with the perfect throuple: an infusion of cinnamon, red rose petals and ginseng, ingredients that are known for their aphrodisiac effects, and then kicks it into high gear with cinnamon leaf oil for an extra-spicy good time. So go ahead, lather up, enjoy the moment, and just try to resist this one.
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.
See my 4 minute Up close sink demo where i wash my hands with it and you can see how much lather it has, how thick it is, etc.
Lush has created three new Christmas shower gels this year which are different than anything theyve made before. One of them is only available in the Christmas 2021 Advent Calendar Gift. There are 6-8 exclusive Christmas products only available in the Advent calendar.
Merry Christmas shower gel is quite a surprise to me. There are so many things about it that i like.
The color is a rich red, and it has gold sparkles in it. They settle at the bottom but i just shake it up to distribute the sparkke all throughout the shower gel.
Goodness. It looks like a ruby in the sun.
The scent is another surprise. It smells like a cherry. A chocolate covered cherry. It has a scent very similar to the Lush ‘Cherryish’ bodyscrub.
The ingredients are Aloe, Cocoa Absolute (chocolate), and Almond Oil. Its no wonder it smells like cherry.
The consistency is nice and thick.
I wish it was a bigger size. I love it.
It is pretty sweet. Some might find it too sweet. I dont find this to be the case. But i like things like Lush ‘Happy Blooming’ scent, which some find too sweet.
I pray that Lush will make this as an ‘in stores and online’ shower gel next Christmas.
Heres a video showing the consistency, lather, etc
Unfortunately for my extensively dry skin It’s not the most moisturizing shower gel. that’s the only reason it’s a 4 and not a 5.
See my Jolly Demo/Description/Rating Video below
This is a different scent for a Lush shower gel. It has Orange, cinnamon, clove. I thought that because of the ingredients that this has it would smell like Lush ‘Hot Toddy’, Lush ‘Glögg’ or even Lush ‘Taai Taai’ shower gel. Its not like Lush ‘Ponche’ shower gel either.
It doesn’t smell like any of those. Nor does it smell like any of the Lush orangey shower gels. I mean..it does smell orangey but not *just* orangey.
in the video below i squeeze the gel onto a plate and tilt the plate so you can see how slow it falls
It has a light spice to it. Its refreshing but has a little something to it. Its more of a full bodied scent than most citrus orange scents.
I like it a lot. Its festive and well, Jolly! 😊
Oh, and there is no glitter in this shower gel.
I would definitely suggest this shower gel.
I had this wonderful shower gel that i wrote about here called ‘Taai Taai’ i bought it from a UK lushie in 2006. Lush made it for their Dutch Lushies. The ingredients sounded a bit similar. But nope, not at all similar.
Description: This is a special shower gel made especially for the Dutch Lushies. It’s based on the Sinterklas celebration. It was also available in the Leeds shop in England as a special for their party.
Jolly is one of three new Christmas 2021 Lush shower gels
This is one of three shower gels for Christmas 2021.
The ingredients list lists raisins as the first ingredients. Raisins? I don’t recall any raisins being in the original Plum Duff bath bomb but. 🤷🏼♀️
i LOVE this scent. It’s like a sexy but berryish and slightly sweet. Not citrussy, but fruity somewhat like The Comforter is fruity. Its got that same note that is in the Comforter shower gel that some people dont like. It’s a different scent than all the other Lush scent. At one time the bath bomb was my FAVORITE Lush product. It was made in 1999. 😊it’s got tangerine and sandalwood in it as i recall.
the bath bomb smelled like sexy sandalwood mixed with cotton candy or something.
But this Plum Duff shower gel isnt exactly like the original. But its still nice. Its a different scent for Lush Christmas shower gel, which i appreciate.
Here is the Plum Duff scent family Plum Duff bath bomb, Sugar Plum bath bomb, Plum Duff letters bath bomb, and It’s a Date bubble bat
Made as a limited edition for Christmas 2010-2011 only. And remade for the previous incarnation of the Lush Kitchen in 2014. It’s up for the vote again for the Lush Kitchen July 2021 Subscription Box
This has a nice, Christmas punch kind of scent. Having cinnamon, orange juice, Okum, buchu oil, davana oil, and petigrain oil. All very fruity notes. The original version had tequila in it (like the punch that it’s named after), but for some reason they took it out. When they did that it changed the smell. It lost its bright note, but it’s still a nice scent.
Lush made a perfume of this exclusively for one day only on the Uk website in 2014.
Lush ‘Icing on the Cake’ smoothie rhoulade had the ponche scent as well.
Lush Times: Ay! Ay! Ay! It’s Christmas! Do not fear the winter blue, dear amigos! Take a shot of this zesty tequila and lime gel in your shower for amorning fiesta, sure to wake even the sleepiest morning monsters. Ponche was invented after a member of Lush HQ traveled through Mexico and enjoyed their traditional fruity party punch. Bring on the tequila!
hHere’s a demo and review video i did of this shower gel.
This is a new Lush limited edition product for Christmas 2020
This was made in the same yummy scent as Lush ‘Christmas Cake’ soap from long ago. But my nose does not smell the similarity. My nose smells the chestnuts, and i don’t like it.
It gets a point for being more moisturizing than most Lush shower gels but This shower gel is a no for me. I just can’t get past the smell.
This Halloween shower gel is made with the Lush ‘Space Girl’ bath bomb scent. It’s fruity. Like a cross between citrus fruits and berryish fruits. Here below are more Lush products with the same exact scent:
Space Girl body spray
Space Girl bath bomb
Goth Fairy Sparkle bar
Stargazer Harajuku store bubble bar
I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas bath bomb
Dinosaur Egg
Spsce girl bath bomb (the originating product)Space girl body sprayGoth fairy sparkle massage bar/solid lotionStargazer bubble barI want a hippopotamus for ChristmasDinosaur Egg
My 19 year old daughter thinks it smells like ‘Skittles’ candy. 😊
It’s a thin consistency but i can let that slide since it’s such a fun shower gel. 👍🏼
You’ll love this if you like:
– Zingy sherbet citrus scents with a warm hint of almond.
– The Comforter bath bomb, Plum Rain shower gel or Argan Dragon shower oil.
Benefits:
– Grapefruit oil adds a fresh and fruity hit of uplifting fragrance, sure to boost your mood into the cosmos.
– A member of the citrus family, bergamot oil adds a cheery ray of sunshine to invigorate and enliven your bathing experience.
– Almond essential oil gives a touch of warm, sweet comfort.
Slammer was a bath bomb first in the early 2000’s.
Whenever i buy a new lushshower gel or jelly I like to take a pic of my it on my dining room table where the sun comes through in the morning, because the light coming through it makes them look like jewels.. the consistency of the 2024 Lush kitchen slammer is thinner than i remember it being.
Review: I think the lemon in this smells too strong to me. I like Back for Breakfast shower gel more. Slammer is the best for waking up it’s said. Lush made this shower gel to be the same as their once loved “Slammer” ballistic. It’s a popular shower gel , some say the Slammer scent smells like a margarita. The guys would like this Slammer gel too as it’s a neutral scent. It’s got just the right amount of sweetness. Smells kind of like lime and lemon punch.
Lush 2005 Description: If Back For Breakfast is too soft for you then Slammer will be your shower gel of choice. It metamorphosed not long back from a Bath Bomb to a shower gel because the kind of people likely to need a Slammer alarm call do not always have time for a bath in the morning. (Although it does a very good job as a bubble bath for those too tired to stand up.) You may notice, those of you who like the odd tequila cocktail, that our Slammer, with its fresh lime juice and rock salt, bears a certain resemblance to another sort of slammer. Those of you who are partial to the other sort of slammer in the evening will probably need a bottle of ours to get you through the morning.
Heres a pic below i took of the one i used in 2004
Vegan 8.4oz
Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Fresh Spring Water (Aqua), Fresh Scottish Sea Water (Aqua), Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Aloe Vera Gel (Aloe barbadensis), Sea Salt (Sodium chloride), Perfume, Peppermint Oil (Mentha piperita), Bergamot Oil (Citrus bergamia), Orange Oil (Citrus dulcis), Colour 42045, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.
Review: Woo! That’s the way it feels. Powerfully minty with a teeny weeny bit of citrus. Its kind of a sweet mint, more sweet than ‘Dirty’ not as herbally as ‘Dirty’. It’s fabulous in the morning or when it’s hot and muggy outside. Oh and ladies, some (not everyone) find it uncomfortable for sensitive areas.
Lush 2005 Description: Peppermint has this amazing quality of making your feel cool when you’re hot and warm when you’re cold. When you’re in a warm shower and you put a dollop of Freeze Shower Gel on your body it gives you a refreshing, tingly feeling all over. Peppermint has been used for thousands of years to help the skin stay soft and the mind stay focused. One view is that it was named ‘mente’ meaning thought because it is said to help concentration and inspiration. If you lack either of these, try making Freeze your morning shower gel and shampoo of choice.
This shower gel.is exclusive to the Lush Uk Kitchen subscription box.
Its actually made by combining two existing Lush products: ‘Tramp’ and ‘Smaragadine‘.
Tramp is a old lush favorite shower gel that smelled very earthy like a fairy glade. Its main scent notes were patchouli and oakmoss.
Smaragadine was an even older product from their B Never Too Busy boutique that was a liquid bubble bath made with mint, lavender, rose petal, sandalwood, orange peel, chamomile, petitgrain and ginger.
Ingredients: White Horehound and Peppermint Leaf Infusion, Balm Herb, Rose Petal and Lavender Flower Infusion, Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl Betaine, Propylene Glycol, Fine Sea Salt, Organic Orange Peel Decoction, Patchouli Oil, Petitgrain Oil, Pimento Berry Oil, Sandalwood Oil, Ginger Oil, Plantain Vinegar Gel, Perfume, Methyl Ionone, Eugenol, *Limonene, Linalool, Chlorophyllin, Methylparaben. * Occurs naturally in essential oils
Review: Thick, green and mossy. Doubles as a bubble bath. Very burnt-patchouli/clove scented; if you like the Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds bubble bar, you’ll probably like Supertramp. Scent lingers on the skin for hours after showering. I like it, but not quite as much as Grass.
Lush Kitchen description: An earthy, mystical shower gel that smells like wandering through tall dark pine trees in an enchanted forest over a cool soft carpet of moss. With horehound to cleanse the skin, peppermint to add a warming, fresh top note and the sensual, floral scents of lavender and rose.
Below is a photo i took of the Supertramp products. The Supertramp extra large bubble bar was only available at the Lush Oxford Street store initially.
So Supertramp has all of these notes. Its a multi layered spa type of scent. The Supertramp shower gel is a dark green, thick gel that is calming and soothing.
I would say that its one of the best green, earthy shower gels that Lush has made, with the exception of Tramp.
Its a unisex scent that would be liked by both men and women.
The Supertramp in this Lush Kitchen Subscription box is the regular 250g Medium size.
I would recommend and would buy another one if i had the chance.
Lush introduced Almond Blossom into their regular line on Jan 23, 2020. Its made in a new sulphate free formula.
Its made in the same scent as the Christmas 2019 body lotion ‘Snowflake’. Its primary ingredient is almond essential oil.
I don’t like this Almond Blossom shower gel as much as i love the Snowflake lotion. The shower gel smells much weaker to me, and isn’t sweet at all. Plus the consistency of the nee shower gel formulatiin was not good. Most people are telling me that their Almond Blossom shower gel is so sweet and strong it makes them sick. I guess mine is so different due to the handmade nature of Lush products.
“The delicate blossoms of spring have been reimagined as a softening shower gel enriched with almond milk and the scent of sweet marzipan. A triple dose of almond comes courtesy of Fair Trade almond oil, almond milk and almond essential oil and is rounded off with the woody warmth of sandalwood and sweet benzoin. Sulphate-free, this creates a gentle lather suitable for all skins.
You’ll love this if you like: (Lush lists products below that do not have the same scent). I think it smells like Lush ‘Snowcake’ but more almond-y and sweeter.
– Sweet marzipan treats.
–Cherry Blossombubble bar orCookie Doughlip scrub.
– Gentle, soothing showers to calm skin and leave it feeling soft.
Benefits:
– Almond milk is both softening and moisturising on your skin, helping to protect it from the elements.
– Fair Trade almond oil not only softens and moisturises your skin, it also gives the Palestinian farmers who grow and harvest the almonds a steady income.
– Rose water calms and balances your skin, helping to alleviate redness and irritation.
– This shower gel is extra gentle, made with a new sulphate-free and palm-free formula. Let us know what you think atwecare@lush.co.uk.”
Other Lush products that Lush has made with this same scent ingredients.
5 out of 5 rating. See my demo, description & review video below.
Yog Nog
Oh my goodness. This is a wow product. The minute i slathered this on in the shower i knew i was in love.
in my photo below you can see on the right, next to my large bottle of Yog Nog shower gel is the Lush ‘Naked’ or solid Yog Nog shower gel.
Lush has made a soap, smoothie rhoulade, bubble bar, lotion, spray perfume, perfume oil, shower jelly, reusable bubble bar, and now finally a shower gel. Although its cdrtainly more like a shower cream because its so thick and decadent.
Below are the many products that Lush has made and sold throughout the years with the yog nog scent.
Everything that we love about yog nog is in this shower gel. The sweet, caramely richness was dying to be in this form so we could rub it all over ourselves. It FEELS so lushious on the skin. The scent is nice and strong and true to form.
Perfect yummy goodness.
And even better its a shimmery gold color!
*swoons*
Thank you Lush ❤️
This might be my favorite Christmas product this year.
Make sure you get the biggest bottle you can.
Oh…i also understand there is going to be a solid (naked) packageless version of this too!
