Rainbows and Waterfalls soap was made for Easter. Its made with watermelon juice, neroli and violet. Its a fresh but pretty scent.
Its such a pretty soap. Lush has only made 3 or 4 products with a rainbow effect.
Theres nothing not to like about this soap. The scent, the look are so good. I would byy another one, thats why i give it a 5 out of 5 rating.
“Pop this stunning bar in a dish by your sink to sit with pride, exuding hope and positivity with its rainbow of colors and vibrant scent. We’re celebrating the arrival of spring with this limited-edition soap that’s made of fresh watermelon juice to cleanse, cheery neroli and violet leaf absolute for a leafy green floral aroma. Marshmallow root decoction and rice bran create a rich, creamy lather, making it tempting to bring into the shower and use all over your whole body, not just your hands!”
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 .
Lush introduced in 2015 their Milky Bar soap with a new lovely design! I took a pic of the new one along side the original style Lush bubble bar of the same name. It has a light, floral fragrance with hints of orange oil.
This soap was made and sold way back in 1993 when Lush was called ‘Cosmetics To Go’. It was one of their best sellers.
It doesnt smell like milk to me, its more of a light floral to my nose, comforting.
soap on the left, original style bubble bar on the right
Lush has had two different designs of the Milky Bar soap throughout the years.
Theyve also made a bubble bar originally called ‘Hot Milk’, which also had a design upgrade and a name change to ‘Milky Bath’, which changed design and name once again to ‘Milky Bar Bubble Bottle’
And lush made a bath bomb called Toby the Cow with the milky bar fragrance, a ‘Salt’ bath bomb, and they made a Christmas bath bomb ‘Jingle Spells.
I got this from the Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar. It was onky available in that and not in stores and not online….at least i think so i could be wrong.
I was surprised at how wonderful this soap smells.
Its so different looking. Kind of a psychedelic mix of tan and olive green. Not my favorite colors but omg the scent. Its yummy. A fruitiness with a bit of spice. Grapefruit, Ginger, Cinnamon, and osmanthus. Its the Jilted Elf scent.
It feels good this soap, kind of silky. Like i say i wsssurprised. This soap doesnt smell like it looks if thst makes sense. I liked it alot. i like the Jilted Elf scent
I had to have this at my bathroom sink at all times. Now it’s just a sliver of its former self and i enjoyed every wash with every bit of it.
Review: I love this soap. It’s just like freeze shower gel in my opinion and it has the scrubby salt if you need exfoliating. It’s refresing, tingly, great for morning. Though it’s a sweeter mint than say Lush Demon in the Dark, it is a stronger mint than DITD. And I think gals and guys will love this soap.
Lush 2006 Description: Want to feel a tingle all over? Give yourself a rub with our minty, stimulating sea salt body soap.
There was also an Ice Blue shower gel as well.
This is a tad different than the other minty lush soaps and shower gel such as ‘Freeze’, ‘Outback Mate’.
LUSH Times, Spring 2004 description: Temptation smells like a superior sort of apple pie, fresh from the oven, spiced with a sprinkling of cinnamon and scented with a hint of orange blossom for a ‘nouvelle cuisine’ approach. Like the best sort of apple pie, we put fresh, organic apples into our Temptation soap and add a drop of uplifting myrrh essential oil. Despite its name there’s nothing sinful about it, except that it’s a bit more expensive than most of our soaps, but if we will go putting fresh apples and phenomenally expensive myrrh in it, what do you expect?
This smells less like a green apple (like their So White fragrance. This shower gel smells more like a red apple.
Lush Times 2003 description: Temptation is our apple pie soap made with fresh, organic apple juice and spicy cinnamon leaf oil. Apples contain organic acids which are good for stimulating sedentary people. Picture this, .Adam, get up off your backside and come over here.. .No, can’t be bothered.. .Here, have an apple then.. Temptation soap smells sharp, refreshing and spicy. Just wave it under someone.s nose when you want to tempt them into the shower with you.
Apples and cinnamon. Reminds me of Autumn and good apple cider. The big slab of temptation soap had slices of apples all over the top incase you get a piece with what looks like leaves…. It is! I don’t know why this was ever disconinued because it seemed to be such a popular soap.
Everyone used to post how much they loved it. I guess they had to make room for new stuff is all I can think of. I loved this soap! It smells like a real red apple. The soap had a bit more cinnamon scent than the shower gel, otherwise they smell similar.
It’s made in the same scent as this Lush ‘Apple Crumble‘ bubble bar.

2001 Yuletide LT description: One of the best things to turn up on Lush’s doorstep in 2001 was Noriko from our Japanese factory with her boundless enthusiasm for creating new Lush products. She will be absolutely delighted and hugely embarrassed to find that her massive fruity soap, decorated with jellies (which she calls “jerries”) has been named after her. If you like your soap smooth, creamy, and bursting with flowers then for this one with its delicious scents of far eastern ylang ylang and calming lavender all mixed in with rice, organic tofu (soya bean curd), and sake, Japanese wine.
LT 2004 description: This handmade soap has coloured seaweed jellies on top, and the scent of orange, ylang ylang, lavender and rose. We relished the softening feeling on our skin of Noriko’s uniquely Japanese mix: rice, sake, tofu and agar seaweed.
2001 Review: The large truckle of the instore Noriko soap had “jellies” on the top of various colors. This is such a fresh and feminine scent. It reminds me of walking in a garden area of greenery and flowers, right after it rains. Noriko seems to be one of two soaps that lather more than all the other Lush soaps. The other being Milko in my opinion. You have to have this fresh because it’s a delicate scent.
Orange, Lavender, ylang ylang and rose makes this soap smell just like the “Softy” ballistic but more subtle and not rose.
2004 Review: It’s less fresh rain and more floral then the original. Lovely. Again, this needs to be tried fresh because it’s a light rain-like scent, otherwise it won’t smell like anything but soap.
This is a new, limited edition soap that will be coming out for Valentines 2022.
I love the Lush Valentines soaps quite a bit. I’ve been buying Lush Valentines soaps every year since 2001. For the past few years Lush has reference to a Rose on their Valentines soap. This one is beautiful with a pink color and a rose carving on top in a different shade of pink. I can’t wait to see the whole extra large store display soap of this. I will take make a vid of it at the sink for you.
I would rate this a 4 out of 5 rating. If it was just a bit stronger in scent i’d give it a 5.
This soap was made with the Lush ‘Softy’ scent. It’s a beautiful light rose, orange, and ylang ylang scent. It’s a soft powdery rose with little bits of rose petals in it.
It kind of smells similar to the Lush Unicorn Horn bubble bar but with rose.
I can definitely smell the lavender in this soap, and the orange oil is nice, and it’s subtle. The ylang ylang is present too.
It’s no wonder i love this soap. At one point long ago my favorite lush bath bomb was Softy.
Lush Description: Grab a dozen of these perfectly perfumed soaps for the ultimate Valentine’s Day bouquet that’ll calm, soothe and hydrate skin.
Don’t just give any flowers this Valentine’s Day? Give the gift of flowers and exquisitely-scented skin. New Rose is packed with a blend of skin-soothing ingredients like rose absolute, rice bran oil, aloe vera gel, and lavender oil to help soothe sore or irritated skin. There’s also a blend of floral oils and rose water, giving it a light, delicate scent that’s both comforting and cheery.Proudly packaging-free.Benefits
A whole truckle of Figs and Leaves soap in store from which they cut pieces off for customers to buy.
Yummy. A highly underrated soap as far as conversations amongst Lushies. For a long time this was my favorite soap. I first bought some in my second Lush order a long time ago. And i like it just as much today 20 years later. It smells very different. Feminine and floral but lightly so, fruity from the figs and full of fig seeds. This could be good if your exfoliating or bad if you don’t like bits. Nice creamy lather. That scent though, its the perfect combination of sweet and floral.
LT 2004 Description: Figs and Leaves is a lovely, coffee brown, creamy soap scented with ylang ylang and orange blossom perfumes. Ylang ylang is one of the oils that helps to balance the skin’s oil production; orange blossom absolute is excellent for keeping the skin in good condition. The little specks in Figs and Leaves are the fig seeds from the decoction of nutritious, fresh, organic figs that form the base of this soap. Rub this all over your body to gently exfoliate your skin, make it feel smooth and smell luxuriously of figs and flowers (not leaves)…..
You can see the little dots? They are parts of the figs
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.
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 and it has pink/purple shift glitter. 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.
Lush Pumpkin Spice soap. This soap was actually an exclusive in the October 2020 Lush Kitchen Subscription box last year. Im glad they made it for anyone to buy this year.
It smells just like pumpkin pie. Its the same as the Lush ‘Pumpkin Spice’ lip scrub from Lush Halloween 2020.
It’s beautifully moisturizing. It feels and smells scrumptious. I would suggest it and i would rate this a 5 out of 5 rating.
There is also a white bubble bar called “THE North Pole” which is differently scented and different looking than this pink and white peppermint and chocolate scented soap.
@lush North Pole soap Made for one or two years as a limited edition Christmas soap in stores around 2009-2011 and on line.
It’s up for the vote in the July 2021 Lush Kitchen Subscription Box.
5 out of 5 rating
The pink part is fragranced with a chocolately or cocoa, candyish fragrance, the white with a refreshing woody, minty fragrance.
I’ve added the second photo of the store version of it. In the stores it was a 6 inch wide x 2 feet pole. you could pick any piece you wanted; a huge round white slice or a huge pink slice or a piece with both pink and white. The store pieces were round, and the online or kitchen version rectangle.
It also came as a slice of the white part with a thinner pink part on top if you bought it online. The pink part smells a bit like a Peppermint Crisp bar, whilst the white part smells more like a mint flavoured rock candy. The original soap was a 6″ (or thereabouts) diameter pole shape that alternated between two Pink and two White sections.
Lush Times: How else will Santa find his way to Lush without a North Pole soap to guide his way?! This is for everybody who love to wash with soap (and frankly, who doesn’t?) This soap is fabulous for people who like stimulating, refreshing showers – with just a hint of luxurious indulgent sweetness. One slice is never enough – so buy two! The pink is fragranced with a chocolately chewy fragrance, the white with a refreshing woody, minty fragrance.
This was sold for about five years in all stores as a regular year round item.
The Lush Kitchen subscription box has this up for the vote with 5 other products for the month of May/June 2021
Lush used to make them in long cylindrical poles and then the last year they were around they started making the boring rectangle. But the soap didn’t change, it was still nice.
You have to get a good fresh piece to appreciate this. It’s creamy, banana-y and nice. It should smell like banana runts even though it is a natural, not fake, smell. It’s also a gentle soap.
2006 LT description: One of the things that irritates us just slightly is when we’re not having a good day is that it’s perfectly legal to call something banana soap when it doesn’t have any bananas in it, but merely a dab of synthetic banana fragrance. Our banana soap has lots of fresh bananas in it; we mash them up, mix them with yoghurt, soap flakes and essential oils and make a truly bananafied, moisturizing soap that smells of bananas because it’s full of them.
Lush Gumback Express shower smoothie, A Little Monkey bubble bar, and Banana Moon soap. All made in the same scent family.
Gumback Express was discontinued in the mid 2000’s and so was Banana Moon. I didn’t think Gumback Smootie smelled like bananas, but i did think the Banana moon did and Little Monkey did too. The soap was great for people with dry skin like me. Lush has made other banana product but they’re not in this scent family.
A lot of people were wondering if this soap was in the same scent family as the Lush ‘The Carrot’ scent.
No it isn’t. This has no buchu oil which was a primary scent in the carrot. Also the soap has orange oil whereas the Carrot scent family does not.
To me this smells like an earthier smelling version of a chocolate dipped orange.
Using a soap with rhassoul mud in it is always a nice experience. Spas use certain muds to tone skin, help remove impurities and it’s not drying on the skin. Lush has made a couple of other soaps in the past with rhassoul mud.
As you’ll see in the video it lathers up nicely and rinses away clean.
This is a lovely gentle soap for sensitive skin, older skin or even dry skin. The ingredients are about as close as a bouquet of roses as you can get. The real and fresh rose scent is very nice. Leaves my skin soft and non-irritated.
Summer 2000 Lush Times description: Queen of Hearts is a soft, creamy complexion soap which we make for all of you who should know better than to wash your face with soap but just won’t stop doing it. At least if you’ll use this one then you won’t be drying out your skin too badly because the glycerine, almond oil and cocoa butter we put in it (not to mention lashings of skin-friendly essential oils) will stop you stripping away all your face’s natural oils. We make it with roses so you smell lovely too.
Below is the 2020 Polar Bear soap. The 2021 Polar Bear soap soap will not be the same minty coco nutty yummy scent as last year, it will be Snow cake scented this year. it’s good to see snowcake soap again.
This isn’t the same scent as this Christmas ’PolarBear Plunge’ bubble bar. This one has almond and rose.
When i buy my Christmas products and they’re delivered- i’ll write my reviews, post my tub bath water photos and video demo here for you. 😊
It’s so cute. It didn’t dry out my skin like some Lush soaps can. It must be the addition of cocoa butter in this soap. along with the coconut oil. It feels good.
Review: QofN was the sort of precursor to the present ‘I Should Coco” soap by Lush. The difference is that this doesn’t have the scratchy, exfoliating dessicated coconut. This is a creamy soap that smells more of Lushious coconut than I Should Coco soap in my opinion. I’m not cazy about coconut, there are times when I hate coconut. So I’m picky about coconut scented products. But this Quinquireme of Ninevah soap adds oranfe which makes it more complex and lovely. is one I do indeed like to use. Not bad, being that it’s a coconut soap. I would think the majority of people would find this to be a 4 star soap.
Lush Times description: Q of N is a creamy, smooth cocnut scented soap made in 35 kg block with two rope handles so it can be carried with dignity to its destination within Lush shops. Inspired by the poem by John Masefield, in which he describes the Quinquereme’s cargo of precious oils and spices. Some of which we used in the soap’s coconut based perfume. We’ll cut you a 100 g slice from one of these precious cargoes to bring a hint of the exotic Middle East of times gone by to your very own wash basin.
