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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is a limited edition bath bomb sold on the Lush US retail website and app Feb 29, and UK website.
Inspired by the movie ‘Saltburn’, and there is also a place in England called Saltburn.
So its supposed to be used by taking chunks of it off and using in the tub and then putting the rest of it someplace dry to be used the same way whenever you next take a bath.
Salt has the same ‘Milky Bar’ scent as these other Lush products below. Milky Bar soap, Hot Milk bubble bar, Milky Bath bubble bar, Toby the Cow bath bomb.
This beautiful, shimmery red shower gel is made with psssionfruit and rose.
Initially some folks thought this passion shower gel was the same as the ‘Passion fruit’ shower gel that Lush sold a few weeks ago in the Lush January subscription box, and were surprised when it smelled differently. Because there’s no rose in passion fruit.
Its $12.50 for the small size. $25.00 medium. Large is $40.00
This one smells different. In my noses opinion this smells like Lush ‘Prince Charming’ shower gel mixed with ksome comforter shower gel. Because its got that weird note that the comforter shower gel can have.
Its a gorgeous shimmery red color, and the consistency is nice. Its very thick!
I like the lush sub box ‘Passion Fruit’ shower gel a bit more, as its smells more fresh and passionfruity. But i do like this Passion shower gel.
Lush description: This Valentine’s Day, celebrate a love fuelled by passion and commitment with our limited-edition shower gel. Lather in beautifully soothing red rose petal infusion, mesmerizing plastic-free luster, and tangy fresh passion fruit juice to leave skin clean, bright and sweetly-scented.
Below i recorded pouring some into my hand so you could see how thick it is.
I love this color combination. Kind of a periwinkle r lilac blue, that turns into purple.
It has the Rose Jam scent. Its a candyish rose fragrance.
I get excited when lush makes bombshells. Ive tried all the different kinds of bombshells and i always give them a 5 out of 5 rating. I love how it looks kike a heart shaped box, and then the veautiful, colorful flowers. Its like what fairies would bathe in. 😄
The two halves are tied together with a raffia bow.
If you dont like bits in your bath then just take the flowers out before you put it in the water.
It actually floats. If you do put the flowers in you van take a plastic kitchen strainer or seive and use that to hold or catch the flowers before you unplug the tub plug.
Does this not look like a fairy bath?
And to top it off we have silvery shimmer glitter.
Absolutely gorgeous.
You can use the pink half one day and then the blue half (or even half of the blue half depending on the size of your tub) on another day.
You can see the difference in bath wster color when you add the other half. 😊
You can see in my photo below how big it is compared to the other Lush Valentine’s 2024 bath bombs.
Heres my 3:00 minute relaxing Tub Demo i recorded for you. Showing its beauty.
See my my unboxing video below where i and show them and have scent descriptions .
ill also record demos of the three products that are not already in my site here. 😊
Here is my unboxing video 😊
the theme is so colorful
The theme Is Dragons. Because this year Chinese New Year is the Year of the Dragon.
So everything in here has a fiery color like a dragon or dragon fire. Also the ingredients in almost all of these products have different warming spices in them. And they each have a name that is relative to Dragons or Fire.
Regarding the monthly sub box-Apparently we are no longer voting. Theyre just arbitrarily making some products but in a fun theme. And theyre still add exclusive things to the sub box though like before.
Cinders
Fireball
Bauble Bath Melts
⭐️So….what ill do since we will know what were getting every month,is what i used to: make a video as soon as we see what theyre making for us that month and ill make a video like i used to describing each of the products they are making. I’ll show you the products, the scent descriptions, the pictures ive taken of each one, my ratings, and demo vids because ive already used them multiple times through the years. So you can decide if you want to buy them that month or wait until the next month.⭐️
Ill also look for other kinds of Lush bubble bar haul photos that ive taken throughout the past few years. 😄
Heres a photo i took once of a bubble bar haul that i got from Japan. These are 1/2 of all the new (at the time) bubble bars from the Lush Harajuku Concept store in 2017-2018. All of them had a new, almost laser-like design. They arrived in perfect condition. I’m gonna see if i can find the other photo of the other 50 Japan store bubble bars that i got via Lush Uk limited edition.
Bubble bars are so cute. As some of you all know by now the lush bath melts are my favorite lush products, followed by the bath bombs, etc. That said, i do like the bubble bars. Theyre all so whimsical, which i love about Lush as a whole in the first place. And theyre so tactile. You can squish it up in your hands, like you were a kid. But it also has wonderful ingredients, real food, flowers, herbs, nuts and oils, etc.
Im going to look for any old pics i might have of their original bubble bars from the 90’s and early 2000’s. They were all in loaves and wrapped in butcher paper, like a grocery store. And they would cut slices off the loaves, in whatever size slice you want. They were HUGE around. Like im talkin alnost the size of the Big Snow Fairy bubble bar. Additionally, you could buy thick, 1″ slices of those big wide bars. So you in essence had a giant chunk wrapped in white was paper. Blue Skies was one of the first few of these first design bubble bar kinds that Lush made. Anyway ill try to find a pic of those. I dont know if i even saved pics of those because it was even before i started taking pictures of my lush stuff.
Lush has introduced a new product in 2023. Lush has always had bath melts. Along the years lush has developed different designs of bath melt, six different designs/styles. It was in 2023 that Lush created a bath melt that also works as a solid oil that can be melted in a wax/oil warmer. A 2 in 1 product
This was a huge deal. These were created at around the same time as Lush introduced their candles.
If there’s a time for luxury, it’s Valentine’s Day! A beautifully luxurious rose hip and violet-scented Lush melt for bath or oil burner, with evocative rose absolute and delicately floral geranium oil.
To use in a bath: Break off 1 or 2 squares and add to your hot bath to melt and release the sweet, softening oils.
To use in a burner: Break off 1 or 2 squares, add to your wax burner making sure it is on a flat surface. Add your tea light to fill the air with the Queen of Hearts scent.
Do not add used or melted Lush melt to your bath.
How to store: To make sure your bar only melts when you want it to, keep it in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.
WARNING: May cause an allergic skin reaction. If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand. Keep out of reach of children. Read carefully and follow all instructions. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulations.

The only negative to these bath melts/aroma melts are that when you turn off the warmer and put the dish in the freezer, as users of wax burners do in order to get the wax out so you can use another different wax tart, they dont fall out in one solid disk. Instead you have to hack at them with the fork and get the pieces out bit by bit.

It melted nicely and i was pleasantly surprised at the throw this melt put out. I could smell it in the room and it smelled beautiful. Not too strong, not too soft.
The fragrance of Queen of Hearts was a bit stronger than the Jasmine Cream. Dont know what happened since i used the same amount for both.
The only negative is that after putting the used melted wax and putting it in the freezer like we all do….to be able to slip the melted wax out of the warmer cup easily so we can use the warmer again with a different kind….only these dont slip out frozen as a whole disk of melted wax, these have to be hacked out with a fork or something in tiny little pieces. Not the fun-est thing to do. See what i mean in the photo of the white one below.
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.
Heres my unboxing video below with ratings, scent descriptions, how to use. 😊
We have products with Banana, Orange, lemon, lime, kiwi, and grapefruit. Slammer was said to wake you up, Tripical fruit scent is originally from the Lush Jungle hair conditioner.
These January products smell nice, not faint. They all smell the way theyre supposed to, which i like.
Tropical fruit (Jungle) smells good. I was hesitant because ive gotten batches that didnt smell of anything.
Up You Gets emotibomb below is VERY citrussy, its made with more essential oils than other Lush products
