The Chinese New Year in 2026 ushers in the Year of the Horse, specifically the Fire Horse or Red Horse beginning on February 17, 2026, and signifies a year of passion, ambition, and dynamic change, blending the horse’s traits with fiery energy.
February 9 on the lush app and February 12 in store and online.
I absolutely love everything about this collab.
I think there will be some people who don’t like the brown color of the water. I didn’t mind it, especially all the gold shimmer from the bath bomb and also the bubble bar has some gold too. 😍
Here’s my ASMR (quiet) video showing and describing each product in the tub
Paddington is so cute in his little blue green, shimmery rain coat and red hat.
‘Marmalade’ body wash – small $15.00/large $30.00. A blend of Honey I Washed the Kids and Orange Marmalade. orange flower, orange peel, orange oil, orange blossom honey, petitgrain, bergamot.
‘Please Look After this Bear, Thank You’ soap $10.00 – Honey I Washed the Kids. – orange, honey, bergamot, orange peel.
Paddington has the scent of Lush ‘Honey I Washed the Kids. Smells like toffee with honey.
This makes such cool bath art 😍
This has an orange marmalade scent, sweet and orange-y.
I made a 30 second video where i stir this marmalade body wash with a spoon so you can see the luscious consistency.
The Marmalade sandwhich bubble bar is my favorite product of the bunch, just the look of it like a bite was taken out of it, and the ‘marmalade’ orange cocoa butter in the middle, and gold glitter dusted on the edges is so cute. The scent is a yummy mix of Honey I Washed the Kids scent and Orange marmalade scent.
I took a short vid of the soap so you can see the black glittery writing. The scent is Honey I Washed the Kids.
I bought 16 of the Mother’s Day products. I didn’t buy 3 things that i’ve bought for previous mother’s day and have already reviewed here like Atom Heart Mother, Yummy Custard, and Posh White Chocolate.
Vanillary Oudh was made for the Lush Advent calendar for 2026.
Vanillary Oudh perfume is a combination of Goddess (later name changed to Oudhess) perfume, and Vanillary perfume.
Lush has been doing these scent mashup combinations in 2025 and 2026. Supermilk with Hot Milk, Supermilk with Snow Fairy, Fresh As with Once Upon a Time, and Goddess/Oudhess with Vanillary.
Goddess ingredients
Vanillary ingredients
So Vanillary Oudh is a combination of all of those ingredients above: jasmine, tonka, vanilla, oudh oil, sandalwood, osmanthus, rose oil, and more jasmine.
Goddess is earthy, green, a bit floral and woody with Oudh, . While Vanillary is yummy, sweet and creamy with vanilla and sandalwood. Together it’s a combo of sweet earthiness. I love Goddess and Vanillary seperately, so i was curious on what both would smell like.
Scent family picture (there are a couple of other products that have been made since i took these pics years ago)
scent family
it’s interesting; Goddess is made with the Lush Zen’ soap fragrance.
And Magic Mushroom bubble bar is made with Yummy Yummy Yummy and Vanillary.
So one could say that Zen soap and Magic Mushroom are a scent family of second cousins twice removed. 😊
It comes in three sizes. It looks just like the Lush Snow Fairy shower gel.
I didn’t see myself buying Snow Fairy shampoo but i found myself putting it in my basket on the retail website. I typically don’t care for Snow Fairy, though when Lush changed the formula a bit it smells better to me than the Snow Fairy of 2003.
It’s a beautiful gel. It’s a great shade of dark pink, with silvery pink sparkles. Okay, i’m not made of wood. 😄
I shampooed with it and i enjoyed the way that it feels, it’s thick with a conditioning feeling. The smell is buttery and good like candy.
I used it without following up with conditioner, on purpose. i wanted to see how moisturizing it is. I figured if it wasn’t then i could use conditioner after shampooing with it the next time.
One thing…i did notice that it stained my fingertips pink. I noticed that the lush description says it might dye blonde hair with a light pink cast, which can be fun depending on the circumstances. i have brown hair and didn’t see any pink color on it, just my fingertips.
It made my hair clean and didn’t strip it of moisture. I was pleasantly surprised! The scent didn’t stay on my hair however. I kind of wished it would stay.
i’m actually glad i bought this Snow Fairy Shampoo.
This was an exclusive Lush product in the January 2026 monthly kitchen subscription box.
The shower gummies are a somewhat recent thing in the Lush world. Lush have made four or so shower gummies of various colors, scents, shapes and sizes.
As i’ve said in my unboxing videos i really like the shower gummies. They’re easier to hold in the shower than the shower jellies that Lush makes.
The gummies are firmer than jelly but still bendable. They’re a similar firmness/softnesss of a gummy bear.
Lush made this Sleepy gummy in the popular Lush ‘Sleepy’ scent, made with Lavender, Tonka bean, and ylang ylang. So the fragrance is floral, yummy and herbal.
If you like the original Lush Twilight products you’ll like Sleepy. It’s the same scent, just the name has changed.
This gummy is particularly pretty because of the gorgeous purple color mixed with swirls of white.
It’s huge! And it’s in the shape of a cloud as many Lush Sleepy products (bubble bar, soap, shower bomb) are or have been.
showing how thick it is.
It makes lather, not quite as much as soap but almost. It’s not conditioning per se but it is less drying than soap. I’m glad they made this. I like it, i like the idea of it, the way it looks and the way it smells.
I don’t usually like the Lush reusable bubble bars as much as the regular Lush bubble bars, but i like this one lots. The look of it, the scent, and the color of the tub water.
It’s got bergamot, lemon, orange, rose, and geranium.
This is a beautiful reusable bubble bar and it smells great.
it’s got a pretty and yummy scent.
Makes a lot of bubbles. My bar looks like a barely used it and it made a whole big tub full of bubbles.
This is a UK gift set with three products within a beautifully designed carrying box.
The Rascal shower gel has Raspberry seed oil, Raspberry juice, Rose, Davana oil, Cedar Wood, and Benzoin. I love this exfoliating shower gel, they already sell it on their website and in stores for valentine’s. The exfoliating bits are okay, i’d like it more without that.
🌟The Rebel Body Lotion has Raspberry seed oil, Rose, Lemongrass, Neroli, and Jasmine. I like this scent and it’s exclusive to this gift set. This is the one i’m glad to get the most in this set. Because it’s exclusive but i also like the scent. 🌟
The Brat body spray. It has Rose, Davana, Vetivert, and Benzoin. The davana does lend a fruity note to the rose, and the vetivert adds a green citrus note. I has a light raspberry-ness. it also has rose.
I would give the gift set as a whole a 4.5 out of 5 rating, but i also individually rated each product below as well.
I will say-such a pretty colored carrying box. 😍
Brat body spray 3.5 out of 5 rating
This is an alright rose scent. when wet it smells fresh and fruity with a bright note of rose. When it dries it gets even better, drying down to an even smoothe.
Rascal is one of three different shower gels being sold for Valentine’s 2026. Its an exfoliating shower gel. It was originally made for a 2023 Lush Kitchen subscription box. It’s got raspberry seeds in it that you can see, and it also has tagua nut powder in the mix which is also exfoliating. So this is for sure an exfoliating shower gel. You can feel the tagua nut powder and you can feel the raspberry seeds. The scent is a yummy raspberry rose.
I’d rate this Rascal shower gel a 4.5 out of 5
Before i tried the Brat perfume i had used the Rascal shower gel and then afterwards i sprayed a spray of my Lush Vimt-No raspberry/grape/black currant body spray. And oh My goodness that combo was so good with both of them having raspberry. Especially nice when the Vimt-No body spray dried down.
I had already bought a medium sized bottle with my Valentine’s haul.
You can see the raspberry seeds in my pic above
it’s a beautiful color of pink.
The Rebel lotion below 4 out of 5 rating
This body lotion is lovely. It’s a fruity floral, again having raspberry seed oil and rose but this also adds neroli, jasmine and lemongrass. Scrumptious. However, i smell more floral probably because it does have more florals in the ingredient list than the other two products in this gift set. I’d rate this lotion a 4 out of 5 (this may change) as well. Even though it’s similar to the other two in scent, it has a wee bit less raspberry scent, and a wee bit more floral and citrus. 😊 It’s not greasy at all and the lotion just sinks in nicely on my skin.
The lotion is also pink, a bit lighter than the shower gel.
It’s got a great texture and consistency
The three of these used together is absolutely gorgeous and yummy.
This smells SO good. I’m not sure if it was next to love letter in my box but this smells as if Lush Yummy Yummy Yummy shower gel and Rose Jam mated and had a baby.
Those red salt crystals on top look like rubies.
It’s a slow melty type of lush bomb. As it melts colors of pink and white come out.
It looks so creamy, like strawberry ice cream.
It makes a medium light pink color of water with no glitter or shimmer.
my tub demo video
Life in Rosy Light was made in the same scent as these products below in my roller/yummy mummy scent family portrait.
nope. Not for me. I really, really, really don’t like this scent. Neither does my husband, nor my daughter.
See my 2 minute video below
It has coarse salt, Soy flour, jasmine, rose petals, jasmine flowers.
I LOVE the packaging.
Unfortunately i don’t love what’s inside.
There were more brown bits in my bath than the two (yes two) rose petals.
This video explains
All my 2006 two hearts products from B Never boutique, lush’s sister company. It wasn’t my favorite scent but it was better smelling than this bath salts !
In time For the Eid festival in March during the Ramadan Holiday, Lush will be selling these on their website the first week of February. A shower gel, soap, body scrub, and lip butter will be available, all with the same Black currant, grape, raspberry scent.
I’ve never had the opportunity to eat the kind of sweets that are typically eaten for Eid but they sure look yummy.
Salam shower gel. Salam means ‘Peace’.
It’s a very sweet scent of grape juice, black currant and raspberry.
I find that of all the below products, the shower gel has the strongest scent.
a pic of my Salam shower gel to show how vivid the red color is 😍
Lailah soap. Lailah means ‘Night’.
Noir lip butter. Noor means ‘Light’.
I didn’t get Basma last year when these were available, i may get one this year.
Basma means ‘Smile’.
A couple of months ago Lush created this body spray VIMT-NO with the Salam/Lailah/Basma scent. It’s still available on the website.
This scent comes from a drink called Vimto. Vimto is made with black currant, grapes and raspberries, which is what Lush puts in all of the above products.
This Lush bath bomb was made for Valentine’s 2026.
my 2 minute youtube tub demo video is below at the bottom of the page
This has a yummy, creamy scent of vanilla, orange oil, and orris root powder. I just wish the yummy fragrance was a little stronger. I have to hold it up to my nose to smell it and even then it was hard to smell it.
Lush will be making the princess cottongrass bath bomb (which has never been made) in the March lush kitchen subscription box. 😊
Pine, Violet, Neroli, Nettle
It’s a fresh, clean green but slightly sweet fragrance.
The pine is definitely present but it mixes with the sweet violet so it doesn’t seems AS pine-y as if it were just pine by itself, if that makes sense, The neroli and nettle lend a grassy note, so the entirety becomes a sweet, pine-ish, grassy scent.
I remember writing about another lush perfume called ‘Fresh As’ and i wrote that It smells as if Lush Needles & Pine shower jelly, Grass shower gel, and Princess Cottongrass mated and had a baby.
So i would say that princess cottongrass is not exactly like those but definitely along those lines, if that helps.
Fresh As is made with Fir Needle and Princess Cottongrass is made with pine. Fir and pine are closely related: both are types of conifers (cone-bearing evergreens) and belong to the same larger Pine Family
So imagine fresh as with some violet, and neroli and nettle.
Nettles have a fresh, green, earthy, and slightly grassy smell, often compared to cucumber peel with hints of hay and mint, with the aroma being quite vibrant and outdoorsy.
I recorded an ASMR style of unboxing tonight as requested. Showing each product and talking about what each one smells like, what each is like to use it, the history of each product, how it came about, as well as which products are exclusive vs. vintage vs. current, non-exclusive, etc.
I will also take a bath and show the bath bomb and the bubble bar in the bath, and use the other products in the box.
Here are a couple of photos i’ve taken of my XL box.
Violet seems to be a mini theme within the larger theme of Spring flowers, with four of the products having violet in them.
4 of these sub box items have never been made before: Chelsea Gardens body wash, Grass body scrub, Princess Cottongrass bath bomb, Rush body lotion.
1 of these, Flower Market soap, hasn’t been made in 20+ plus years.
Tuca Tuca and Jasmine Cream have been made a couple of times previously in the last few years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A list of all products in the shower box and the bath box:
Chelsea Gardens body wash I have a review of my Chelsea Gardens bath bomb
Flower Market soap – i have a review of my perfume, powder and soap from 2003
Grass body scrub. i have a review of the shower gel to get an idea of the scent.
Princess Cottongrass bath bomb – i put my Princess Cottongrass perfume and dusting powder pictures and review here just to give you an idea of the scent.
The Rush body lotion – Geranium, Lemon Peel with an Olive Oil base. This is brand new, thus i’ve not tried it.
Tuca Tuca massage bar. It’s a primary violet scent. It’s got the same scent as Lush Violet Nights bath oil.
Lush will be making the soap in the March 2026 Kitchen subscription box! 👏🏼
I still have an unopened powder and some perfume.
i’ll try to take some more current pictures. I took these photos below in 2005 and 2010.
Ylang Ylang, Carnation, Violet, Galbanum, and Elemi oil
The scent of Flower Market is close to what Lush ‘Potion’ is like with its spicy carnation scent, but with a bit more floral notes of violet and ylang ylang. It’s also got an earthy note of galbanum. Galbanum is a sharp, earthy, green note, like in fragrances like Chanel No. 19.
Galbanum is a bitter, musky, and intensely green odor, sometimes described as metallic. It’s often seen with violet in perfumes. It contrasts with the sweet floral scent of violet.
I made a 50 second video at the very bottom of this page of me using it and pouring some in, and showing the sparkly bath water it makes. 😍
I love everything about this liquid bath oil.
First of all i miss the liquid lush bath oils. Lush used to make them in the late 90’s and even before that, in the early and mid 90’s when Lush was called ‘Cosmetics To Go’. I’ve used theee of them and i always liked them. While i do enjoy the solid bath oils that Lush has made ever since, it is nice to go retro and bathe in a bath with liquid bath oil.
what a brilliant idea to make it look like a snow globe! It has a picture of a window, and when you shake it up the little iridescent glitters swirl around beautifully, just like a snow globe.
small is $14.50 and the next larger size is $29.00
It’s got a beautiful sweet peppermint scent. It’s made with the Lush Intergalactic bath bomb scent.
I wasn’t going to buy anything from this second Wicked collab for the movie Wicked: For Good. Then i saw Chistery, and the Tin man, and i was weak. So i bought them both. I decided to use Chistery first.
Firstly, those colors 😍 I don’t think i’ve seen ANY lush bubble bar in the last 25 years with this combination of colors. And this kind of intricate design detail.
It’s a bubble bar but the wings are soaps.
After using it, this description of the scent confuses me.
Lush description says it’s the sweetie pie scent- The Lush Sweetie Pie jelly is The Comforter) scent and always has been since Sweetie Pie was made 20 years or so ago.
I did NOT smell sweetie pie, the comforter or anything of the sort. In fact i would’ve bet money that it was a new scent.
The description says it’s made with black currant. And vanilla notes. Huh? Not only did i not smell black currant, i didn’t smell any vanilla note either.
The description says they did add tulip infusion to only the wings part.
The ingredients list: Not only does the lush ingredients list not have black currant anywhere on the ingredient list, but it actually lists Grapefruit, CLOVE bud oil(?), Bergamot, and Benzoin. That’s it.
Remember when i said i didn’t smell sweetie pie/the comforter? Well, It actually DID smell like Grapefruit, clove and bergamot.
Hence, my confusion. What does it smell like, what does it supposed to smell like, and what is the scent made from?
I’m going to go get the ingredient list from Lush Sweetie Pie jelly: and post it here: Notice the lush ingredients. And notice Lush’s description. Notice how it says Cherie Ripe? Lush’s Cherie Ripe massage bar was also in the Comforter scent and has the same ingredients as sweetie pie and the comforter. Black Currant, Cypress and sometimes Cherries. Note the complete difference from the Chistery ingredients? Yeah, it’s a mystery. But anyway i liked the bubble bar lots.
Regardless of what it smells like, it’s a beautiful bar, that makes pretty water with a bit of silver shimmer in the water. 😍
I LOVE when Lush makes ‘two in one’ products. Meaning two different types of products in one bar, or in one bomb, or like the Lush sparkle jars from years ago in one massage bar/dusting powder combo.
It makes a not quite green, not quite blue color. SO gorgeous.
Chistery makes loads of bubbles.
I tried to get a picture of the silver sparkle as i usually do with my bath photos but apple upgraded my iphone and buttons are in different places and i messed up a lot of my shots. So no sparkly water picture.
The soaps also have a metallic sheen on them. So pretty.
