Lush Kitchen June 2024 Subscription Box product video

Because i havent added three of these products to my blog here, im just going to put them here and then when i make the individual pages for Temple of Truth, Happy Hippy, and Karma Komba. Then ill have just the links to them here and move all of the pictures ive taken and my review text to the individual pages. But for now its sll here on this page. 👍🏼 I do already have Lava Lamp here.

Happy Hippy shower gel in my picture below. However, the sub box folks are making a LOTION of it for the June box. Exclusive. Never made before. 👍🏼

Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Fresh Pink Grapefruit Juice (Citrus grandis), Grapefruit Water (Citrus grandis, Aqua), Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl Betaine, Grapefruit Oil (Citrus grandis), Bergamot Oil (Citrus bergamia), Frankincense Oil (Boswellia carterii), Lactic Acid, Cocamide DEA, *Limonene, Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben. * Occurs naturally in essential oils

Review: I was upset about Happy For Sad shower gel leaving until I heard Happy Hippy was brought back. HH was a shower gel before Lush was called “Lush”, back when Mark Constantine owned “Costmetic to Go” (CTG). It is a pink grapefruit shower gel. It’s refreshing and grapefruity, It’s not too strong, not too light. Great for a morning “get you going” shower. My husband liked the smell, he said “Hey, it’s not bad”. You know this is a large step for him so it must be pretty good. Three new citrus shower gels this same year came out and not one of them smells the same. Well done Lush.

LT 2006 Description: A long time ago in a land far, far away… actually it was in 29 High Street, Poole Dorset, now Lush’s home, the Lush creative team used to run a company called Cosmetics to Go. One of their best selling products was our pink grapefruit shower gel, Happy Hippy. When CTG’s former customers heard that we’d finally bought back the rights to our old products they started haranguing us with emails, letters and bricks through the window, begging us to make their favourite, joyously refreshing gel again. We did, we tested it ourselves and we decided that it was as brilliant as we remembered. So here it is, use it and step singing from the shower. (That bit about the bricks through the window isn’t true.)

*Occurs Nautrally in essential oils

This is a beautiful cone shaped bubblebar with a deep turquoise color. It’s a VERY fragrant bubble bar. When Lush uk made them originally (Lush North America/U.S. didnt make any) the scent filled up my whole house! Its got a incense-y, and woody scent. And it was the deepest blue.

International (UK) website sold the original Blue and then later the White after a request from UK forum members to save cost and make one with no colorants.

Description: Our lovely new BUBBLE BAR has no less than 24 essential oils packed into it for a fragrant, bubbly bath. This blue version is exclusive to Mail Order, so get them while you can!

Lush Kitchen Subscription box May 2024 – Bridgerton

I’m excited. I like all the items.

Ive used Royalty and Keep It Fluffy shower gel and love both of them. And Tender is the Night is one of my favorite Lush fragrances.

And Tender is the Night LOTION?! Is it me? Im not remembering any Tender is the Night lotion, ever.

I mean there was a couple of years that i didnt buy any lush so it could’ve came out during thst time. But i dont think so. The reason im wondering is because i noticed the last two items for may are ‘Exclusive products’. Well, Tender is the Night lotion is exclusive too if theyve never made it and are only making it for this box.

Also wondering if the bath bomb is like the Lush Haagenbath bomb. I dont think so because they dont mention mint.

3 exclusives. Yay! 😊

Family Before All

Keep It Fluffy

Royalty

Tender is the Night

Lady Danbury (wondering if this is like the ‘Haagenbath‘ bath bomb?)

Lush Kitchen April 2024 subscription box

Go to the links below for each April subcription box product reviews and more photos😊

.

A French Kiss bubble bar

Birth of Venus face mask

Phoenix Rising bath bomb

Sonic Death Monkey

Popcorn lip scrub – havent tried it

The sonic death monkey from the April 2024 sub box wasn’t as thin as i’ve had sometimes. it wasn’t thick, it was on the thing side but not very watery like in past batches. It smells nice. sweet orange and coffee.

As you can see above i’ve never had popcorn lipscrub. The scent not what i expected. it’s good, but there is nothing in here that remotely smells like popcorn. 😊

It smells like sweet pineapple and coconut. Thats what my husband and daughter said when i asked them to tell me what they smell. They told me it smells tropical fruit and then i asked ‘does it smell like popcorn?’ and they both said ‘no, not at all.’

So its a bleepin mystery. 😄 Its good. Its just not popcorn-y.

The French Kiss is the same nice fragrance as i remember it, though not as strong. I wish it were stronger. As far as the looks….

Ive had maybe 10 French Kiss bubble bars in the last twenty years and lush has had 3 different designs of this bubble bar. 3 different looks. All of them prettier or more cool looking than the original. If you go to my French Kiss page from the link above you can see the different looks. Well the French Kiss in the April sub box is not the prettiest one ive had lol. Theres hardly any purple. Its 90% white. And the shape is… interesting. 😄 And the sprig of lavender fell out becaude the only thing left there was the hole where it used to be.

Birth of Venus. Its pretty good. The smell is not weak which is great. The consistency is right. The scent is just an ever so tiny bit different. One or two of the notes of chamomile, myrrh, rose, lavender was less thsn i remember it being. This one in the sub box had a stronger rose note. I mean y’all know i like rose. But it was never this strong in the birth of venus. That said. I enjoy using this one from tbe sub box. Its not so different thst it smells bad. Its ctually pretty darn good. Just more rosebthan the original.

Nevermind the Ballistics

Furze

Birch soap

Green Man

Guardian of the Forest shower scrub (bath bomb and shower gel review)

This seems like a forest theme. I could be wrong. Not sure how Nevermind the Ballistics enters into this theme. 😊

Birch soap was only gotten by people who attended the 2018 Lush ‘Creative Showcase’ event.

Its exclusive.

Green Man was a regular year long item and hasnt been made since 1999 when it was discontinued. Ive never used it.

It’s rare.

Furze. Lush originally made a bath oil and a perfume called Furze around 2014. The bath oil was only available at the Oxford Street superstore for about a year. I think after that it was available at certain Lush stores in England. Coconut. Limited Edition. The perfume was available everywhere and was discontinued around 2015/2016 i believe.

Discontinued Regular year round store item though I dont believe Lush ever made a solid perfume of this.

Guardian of the Forest scrub has never been made. Only the bath bomb, which was available at all stores, and the shower gel, which was only made one time for one day and only on line.

Scrub=Rare Exclusive

Nevermind the Ballistics. This was a regular year round store item bomb…i think. It may have been a limited edition holiday item. I cant remember, which doesnt happen very often. If i remember ill update. I LOVED this bath bomb.

Regular year round store item or limited edition. Not rare.

This is another product that.Lush has done in a collab with Spongebob. This bath bomb however was only available in the July 2023 Subscription Box.

See my 2 minute tub demo below.

First off this bath bomb is so cute.

Secondly, OMG Best. Smell. Ever. Its like a fruitier cotton candy with a dash of floral.

The bath bomb is a slow melty fizzer. It dances around the tub leaving a light trail of silver shimmer.

As it melts it displays beautiful yellow, blue and pink colored foam.

Its so creamy and beautiful.

Eventually those colors combine to make a beautiful lavender purple colored water with silver sparkle.

GORGEOUS.

I would rate this a 5 out of 5. Heck, id rate it a 6. 😄

Of all nine collab products this and the pineapple solid lotion are my favorite.

2 minute Tub Demo

Bikini Bottom

This is a product exclusive to the July Subscription box. During July 2023 Lush partnered with Spongebob on a collab and Lush has made 9 items in total. 6 of the 9 are being sold on a limited time basis on their website, and 3 of them were made for the July subscription box.

Bikini Bottom is so pretty with red and purple swirls, and a light dusting of silver on top.

Bikini Bottom has the same yummy scent as ‘Pineapple’ body balm that is sold on the website.

This absolutely yummy scent reminds me of a coconut pineappke and banana milk shake. Its made with Davana oil and Tonka.

This bubble bar makes a pretty red-ish water with loads of bubbles. The scent is so good.

I would rate this bubble bar a 5 out of 5 rating.

Heres a Tub Demo Vid i made of Bikini Bottom being used.

Lush Kitchen Subscription Box July 2023

Lush has joined Spongebob Squarepants on a Collab. Lush has created 9 products in total; 6 products being sold on their website, and 3 made for their monthly subscription box for July 2023.

Bikini Bottom bubble bar

Bubbling Under bubble bar

Gary bath bomb

Mermaid bath bomb

Patrick soap

Trichomania coconut solid shampoo bar

Firstly, what a great smelling box!

I smell a scrumptious tropical fruit combination.

A pleasant surprise to discover that Lush made a couple of rare products that fit into this month’s spongebob collab!

I think the best smelling item in this box is the Bikini Bottom bubble bar on a stick. Smells like a banana cocobut milkshake. Its made with davana oil and tonka. and its subtley sparkly with red and purple.

Here is my 10 minute unboxing video with scent descriptions.

When including these 3 exclusive spongebob subscription box products there are 9 spongebob products in total that Lush has made this month for the collab.

1 Patrick bath bomb

1 Patrick soap

1spongebob bath bomb

1 spongebob soap

1 Squidward bubble bar

1 Bikini Bottom bubble bar

1 Gary bath bomb

1 Krabby Patty

1 Pineapple body balm

Ice Blue


Ingredients: Sodium Palm Kernelate, Propylene Glycol, Water, Sea Salt, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Perfume, Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Bergamot Oil, Peppermint Oil, Glycerine, EDTA, Tetrasodium Editronate, *Limonene, *Linalool, Hydroxycitronellal, Colour 42045.* Occurs naturally in essential oils

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’.

There is no eucalyptus, nor cypress.

Ice Hotel

Ice Hotel Bubble Bar

5 out of 5 rating

This icy mint & bright lavender bubble bar was sold as a Limited edition Christmas bubble bar 2002.

Lush Times 2003 description: You really have to go to a Lush shop to see this: it’s an amazing 20kg sculpture of Bubble Bar Slice, homage to the Ice Hotel in Sweden. Each slice — shame to cut it up but we have to — smells deliciously of mint and lavender for a sensationally stimulatling bubble bath. If you go to a shop you can buy a whole Ice Hotel ‘room’ to decorate and perfume your bathroom.

It was remade for forum members one time only as a special one large piece. The three pieces in my photos are ones i got from that big Christmas display piece.

It was remade again for the Lush Kitchen subscription box in 2014.

Lush got the idea for this bubble bar from the Hotel of the same name located in Quebec Canada. There is also an Ice Hotel in Sweden. It’s an actual building, a ethereally beautiful one, made of ice.

The Lush Ice Hotel bubble bar is a perfect marriage of lavender and mint. It’s smells refreshing and calming. It doesn’t get much better.

3 different pieces.

Ice Hotel 2006

Lush Kitchen September 2022 Product Voting

👀

Update Aug 7 2022

As you all have requested, Here are the Lush Kitchen products that i rated a 5.
I dont have the names written down in a list because i havent had time.

Ive recorded sink and tub demo videos and have taken photos of all of these products.
And theyre all on my Lushalot.com Blog if you use the search bar in the menu.
.
.
I do have a question; I noticed that there are more products in the actual voting area than are on this picture that i got from their kitchen site.
I hadn’t/haven’t rated the rest that were in the voting area.

I didnt include ALL meltable products, because they wouldnt survive the heat i dont think.

Has Lush said anything about all this that y’all know of?

My Original Blog Post: Lots of folks have asked me what’s going on with this months voting, why so many already made products? 136 products. And honestly I have no idea.

I’m just guessing—maybe Lush has been losing some money from the kitchen during this pandemic so they’re making a play to make more money, or drumming up more interest in the lush kitchen by offering more products at one time? Again, that’s just my guess, i haven’t seen nor heard anything from lush about it. When or If i do hear or see something i’ll let you know.

Here in the image below are the products being offered.

I’ll start to write them down here today in alphabetical order, with links to my reviews and video demos of many of these products.

I may or may not do a video describing all of these. I’m not sure though because it would be long.

I voted yes for these products below. 😊
