Beautiful Pea Green

 

Lush Spring 1999 UK description: Beautiful P Green Soap is very, very green – coloured with spinach and chlorophyll – made in a big block which looks rather like a deep, translucent freshwater pond with flowers and leaves floating on top. Fortunately, it doesn’t smell like one. However, it does have a deep, dark green scent [for those of you who smell in colour] with sandalwood, benzoin and a hint of tangerine, providing the delicious odour. Continuing the poetry theme, this one was inspired by The Owl and the Pussycat who, you may remember, went to sea in a beautiful pea green boat. (You get a slice off the 25 kilogram pond, not the whole thing, so you may get a slice of waxed flower or leaf.

(Dark leafy greens, light fruity note and slightly incensey)

Lush 1999 description: A fresh, tangy but mellow bomb full of ferns and pieces of lemon grass, reminscent of a walk through a forest. As the water runs away you can read the pattern which the fern leaves make on the bath, like reading your fortune in tea leaves in the bottom of a cup. This is Lush’s homage to daft fads. It is scented with delightful lemon grass oil, which we shall continue to use long after the current trend for sticking it in every dish in astonishingly expensive London restaurants has long since been forgotten.

I was surprised at how much plant material thereis in this bath bomb. It definitely lives up to it’s name. Tons of plant stuff.
Alsosurprising to me is the smell. I love the smell. It’s not like anything i’ve smelled before bath bomb wise. It’s fresh, lemongrass and the pleasant smell of greenery. The first time i used this bath bomb i didn’t use anything to contain the pieces of ferns. The second time i used this is got a small kitchen strainer and put the bomb in there so i got just the water, not the plants.

Honey Lumps

4 out of 5 rating

See the video i made of Honey Lumps below.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate , Citric Acid , Honey, Tangerine Oil, Myrrh Resinoid, Benzoin Resinoid, Limonene , Perfume * Occurs naturally in essential oils.

Review: Honey Lumps is lovely. It is quite similar to the “Honey Comfort” ballistic. Itsnot the same scent as Honey I Washed the Kids. If you liked B Never shower gel or the Honey Waffle soap, then you’ll probably like Honey Lumps as well, it has the same scent. Maybe a bit more orange citrus in it but very close. It’s honeyish and sweet.

I like this just as much as the current Honey Bee ballistic that Lush makes but The two are different, Honey Bee and Honey Lumps don’t smell the same. Honey Lumps ballistics has more of a true honey smell. I miss the scent of my lovely B Never gel, and this is the next best thing.

One tip; make sure the bath water isn’t tepid, make sure it’s nice and warm/hot because you want the honey gobs to melt in the bath water. Yummy….
