Think Pink (2008 version)

There is a newly redesigned think pink here 

4 out of 5 rating

See my demo video of this below

 

Ingredients: Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Lavender Oil (Lavendula hybrida), Tonka Absolute (Dipteryx odorata), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Neroli Oil (Citrus amara), Pink Heart Confetti, D&C Red No. 33, FD&C Red No. 4, D&C Red No. 27, Candy Flowers

This is such a pretty ballistic. It smells of vanilla, neroli, lavender and tonka bean.  I just didnt’ like this ballistic at all when I first had it in a bath. But after using it again, wow, it’s fruity, and girly, and a tad foody, all at the same time. The orangey- neroli is there, the vanilla, the lavender. Water that is pretty medium dark pink. And wait, there are candy hearts and tiny heart confetti made out of soap too? And a tiny amount of magenta colored glitter at the bottom? Why didn’t I like this again?  a 4 star rating.

 

Lush Times 2006 Description: Darlings, this is the ultimate in fuchsia pink baths. Four candy flowers top this marvel of utter pinkness and, as it fizzes furiously, it unleashes a shower of pink confetti into the bathwater. We’re using our brand new favourite tonka bean essential oil because it smells so wickedly fabulous, darlings! It also helps you to get in touch with your deeper emotions. Do be careful whom you meet for lunch just after you bathe! We don’t want to go eleasing our deeper emotions all over the starter and upsetting the other ladies, do we? (Or do we?).

In 2010 this changed to a new shape – becoming the same size as 90g ballistics like the lush Butterball bath bomb is.

Here’s a demo video i made of this bath bomb in the tub close up

The Comforter body lotion

Scent family: The Comforter Bubble Bar Slice; The Comforter Shower Gel; Oopsie Daisy Bubble Bar Slice; Sweetie Pie Jelly; Cherie Ripe Massage Bar; You Snap The Whip Body Butter, etc. 

 

Ingredients: Water , Sweet Almond Oil , Cocoa Butter , Glycerine, Stearic Acid, Treithanolamine, Bergamot Oil, Cassis Absolute , Cypress Oil , Cetearyl alcohol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Mathylparaben, Propylparaben

Review: If you like “The Comforter” bubble bar, you will love this, full of Cassis it has a lovely somewhat raspberry scent. It differs form batch to batch but its a medium thick consistency.

The scent doesn’t stay on the skin after awhile but that’s okay.

 

Here’s a review video i made of the comforter lotion

 

 

Matroyshka Doll

Has the Appley ‘So White’ scent.  This was a soap that Lush sold in Christmas of 2010.

There are two pieces (one green and a smaller red ) soaps,  a doll-shaped ‘Cinders‘ bath bomb, and a doll-shaped, and a So White bath bomb.  all nested inside of each other, like a real Russian Matroyshka Doll. And the whole gift set was wrapped in a red scarf with designs on it.

Later Lush would make other products with this same scent;  So White bath bomb, So White perfume, So White shower gel, and Santa’s Belly jelly.

Phuket

In the Lush Kitchen this week Sept 27 2015

 

This bath bomb was originally made in 2005

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Coconut Cream, Coriander Oil, Vetivert Oil , Orange Oil , Dessicated Coconut, Perfume.

 

Review:  Prounced foo-kay, (one of my friends went scuba diving there once) this ballistic was good.  Not fabulous, but nice. 🙂 It made the water a bit creamier than most lush ballistics, I think that was because of the coconut cream. The orange and coriander went well the coconut. It could’ve been just a tad stronger but it was nice. You could see the small pieces of dessicated coconut in the water. But the scent was so weak. This was DC’ed in 2005.

 

Lush Times 2005 description: The thought of Jack Constantine larging it in Asia provided the inspiration for this one. Phuket, Mark was heard to say, he’s off enjoying himself again.

Frog Prince

5 out of 5 ratingSee video below.  Also see “Leap Frog” bath bomb, same bomb, different names.This was first made for Valentine’s in the 2009-2011 time frame.

 

I absolutely love everything about this bath bomb.  It’s super cute, and the smell is great, and the water is a nice color when he fizzes away.  The scent stays on my skin longer than most bath bomb scent. It’s a floral.  It’s a multiple floral.  Good Lush floral blends are fewer then the fruity or candy scents from Lush, and this is a nice floral.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Cocoa Butter, Almond Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Rose Absolute , Ylang Ylang Oil.

Lush Times: Another magical creation by Michelle, Frog Prince is an extremely handsome and regal frog with a pair of vibrantly red and kissable lips. Give him a quick peck, drop him in the tub and wait for your prince to come. Simon’s new fragrance is an aphrodisiac blend with sweet undertones; he used jasmine, neroli and rosewood to create a sensual fragrance for those longing for their prince – or princess – to come. It’s not all about the fragrance with this one, it’s also brimming with cocoa butter and almond oil for a luxuriously moisturising soak.


Spacegirl

See my tub demo video below

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Grapefruit Oil, Bergamot Oil , Almond Oil, Propylene Glycol, Colour 15510, Mulit-Coloured Glitter (Polyethylene terephthalate), Fizzy Candy.

Lush Times: Here comes a ballistic of astronomical proportions. We were inspired by The Imagined Village’s intriguing interpretation from their second album, Empire & Love. It’s shaped like Saturn with added space dust for our alien friends, and the refreshing scent of blackcurrant sweeties will make you hungry for your own space adventures. Space Girl is stellar, just remember your blaster and your freezer gun.

 The Space Girl bath bomb smells so fruity and slightly sweet.

Lush made six other products later in the same scent: the Goth Fairy Massage bar, The Dinosaur Egg bath bomb, Very Very Frightening shower gel, I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, Space Girl, and the 2020 Star bubble bar.

As it fizzes it makes a red and purple water, and it has a pretty light blue glitter in the water.

it also leaves a red comet effect on the bottom of the tub which is awesome.

Snowcake soap

4 out of 5

This cute Bear is the 2021 version of Snowcake soap. But this year the name is actually different. It’s called “Polar Bear”.

Lush makes their classic Snowcake soap in a completely different design every year.

i’ll add all the different looks here.

for 2020 it looks like this:

This year Snowcake smells even yummier than it has in past years. Sometimes it has smelled kind of like Playdoh. I don’t know what Lush added to it this year but it smells more like vanilla icing. or marzipan fruit.

Ingredients: Water, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Perfume, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Titanium Dioxide, Benzoin Resinoid, Rose Absolute, Cassie Absolute, Glycerine, Sodium Chloride, EDTA, Tetrasodium Editronate, Benzyl Benzoate.

If you get a good, fresh piece you smell an almond paste and roses scent. It’s delicate but scrummy.  Snow cake soap has particularly creamy lather.  Lush has introduced Snowcake soap every Christmas for many, many years.

Lush Description: Hand and body soap: Smells like the delicious almond icing on your cake: feels like almond mousse on your skin.

Here’s what it looked like in 2017. It’s Gold on the top.

Scent Family: Snowcake Perfume; Snowcake Shower Gel; Snow On Snow Dusting Powder; Smitten Hand Cream; Oops! Almond Kisses Facial Moisturiser; Marzibain Bubble Bar Slice; Big Ed Yuletide Soap Snow Angel bath bomb

Even more, i love the Lush ‘Marzibain’ bubble bar which Lush made in the Snowcake scent.  It’s a cream colored bar with an almond on top.  Makes gorgeous, volumunous, creamy bubbles. I also am very fond of the dusting powder in this scent called “Snow on Snow’.  It’s delicate, and soft, like sweet fallen snow.  Lush has only made the powder twice.  Lush first made the Snow on Snow powder for forum members only.

The 2016 Version called ‘Snowcastle’

Here’s what it looked like Christmas 2018

and my review of it below.

A new version of the classic Lush Christmas ‘Snowcake’ soap. Lush has been carrying the tradition of various different versions of their classic Snowcake soap since the early 2000’s.

This year Lush went all out and made a gourmet soap in the Snowcake scent, but with an additional squishy, yummy looking ‘saucey’ topping. It looks like fruit and Oh my goodness I want a whole wheel lol. This is a gourmet soap this year with extra moisturizing properties.
