I’m not clear at this time if the new Lush Labs Shower bombs and packageless Atmospgere gels will be part of the store items or not. Ill be adding the new Atmosphere gels that i bought here on my blog in the next 24 hours

I’m also not clear on if lush plan on selling these on line or not.

Lemon bubble brush

3 out of 5 rating

Lemon bubble brush is one of three new re-usable style bubble bars from Lush. While i dont normally like the reusables as much as Lush regular squishy bubble bars, these new bubble brushes are fun to use!

This is the yellow bubble brush new for 2018. Unlike its blue and pink counterparts this one smells lemony. It has the same scent as Lush ‘Lemslip’ buttercream. Its made with lime, and sweet orange oil.

It’s not very sweet. In fact i wish it were more sweet. And honestly, i wish it smelled stronger.

It leaves a bright, sunny yellow hue to the bath water.

I like to blend it with the blue bubble brush sometimes.

I like the mint and candy bubble brushes more than this yellow lemon one because the scents and colors are nicer to me. Just a personal preference.

I liked using it but i wouldn’t necessarily buy another one. Whereas i would buy anothrr blue one.

Ready to brush up on your art skills? Who said bathing had to be boring?

Whether you’re already a seasoned artist or just like to paint by numbers, these new #BathArt reusable bubble brushes from Lush’s artful splodges are sure to make a Big Splash in your bathroom.

Take your brush and hold under running water to get the bubbles going. When the bath is covered in a blanket of bubbles your canvas awaits! Dip the brush into the water before gliding it over the foam, dip, and flick, stroke, and splash, then sit back and relax as you admire your masterpiece. It might be abstract, it might be modern, it might be a load of Pollocks but whatever it is it’s bound to make a good impression!

On your marks, get set, Gogh!

Pink Petigrain

2 out of 5 rating

This is the most bitter thing I’ve ever smelled in a long time.

I wanted to like this because its so pretty.

Pink petigrain bubble bar is supposed to share its scent with the Lush madame president bath bomb. Grapefruit and petigrain.

Firstly, i LOVE the scent of Madame President. I bought six of them.

Secondly, i HATE the scent of this Pink Petigrain blossom. When i got it out of my package my eyes lit up because of the pretty coral color and the flower shape.

But i recoiled back when my nose smelled it. I said to myself ‘There is NO WAY my petigrain flower smells like madame president bath bomb’.

Maybe because some things melted in my order the scents combined strangely? Dunno.

I have both Madame President bomb & Pink Petitgrain blossom bubnle bar side by side. NO.

I don’t know if i got a bad one or what

Did my nose just all of a sudden after 17 years just say ‘April, i’m done.’? I’m not sure, but suffice it to say i dont like the bitter, unpleasant smell of this bubble bar, and i won’t be buying another one. I had to use something else with it because i couldnt stand the smell. How odd. I havent had a reaction to a lush product in quite sometime. But i guess i cant like them all. *Shrug*

Your mileage may vary.

Description

For a couple of hours, lay back and indulge in pink waters covered in soft, fluffy bubbles. Calming petitgrain oil works its wonders on worries and cares, the woody scent evoking images of summer walks through citrus groves. Meanwhile, refreshing grapefruit oil lifts moods high above the clouds of the day, bringing with it memories of breakfasts taken on warm, sunlit verandas. Hold this flower under running water and let it spin and build bubbles before breathing deeply and allowing yourself to be transported away on a cheerful, summer breeze.

Mint bubble brush

Mint bubble brush is one of three new ‘bubble brush’ design type of re-usable bubble bars from Lush Cosmetics.

Lush has come out with five new re-usable bubble bars, three of them being in the bubble brush type. Mint is the blue one. Its got a minty scent that isnt too sweet. In fact i i wish it were a *bit* more sweet. Its the scent of their ‘Freeze’ shower gel.

Its not quite like Christingle body conditioner. Mint bubble brush isnt that sweet. Its the scent of their ‘Freeze’ shower gel.

I love the deep blue hue one can attain with this bubble bar. Its tun to drip blotches of blue on the bubbles. And it’s fun to paint the bubbles as i show in the video.

I enjoy combining colors, as those of you who have seen my bath cocktails know. I often like to create gradients or ombre effects with different bath products.

Well these new Lush bubble bars lend themselves well to this kind of blending, as ive tried to show below.

I think these new bubble brush bars are quite fun. I like that the three primary colors are represented. I would give these bubble brush bars a 4 out of 5. While i don’t particularly like the re-usable bubble bars as much as the regular lush bubble bars, these are fun because you can use them in different ways. I would buy another one of each color. But it’s not one i would stock up on.

SOS

Shampoo bar

Made with the same scent ingredients as the ‘Orangutan‘ soap.

Made with patchouli, orange.

It’s similar to Lush ‘Karma’ fragrance but not exact, it’s not a scent twin imo, even though it shares some ingredients.

It’s less orangey than ‘Karma”  kind of a green and wooden scent with some orange.

see my review and demo video below 🙂

It’s quite strong, and I can’t stop sniffing it.  It’s such a different scent, nothing around quite like it except as I said Karma is somewhat similar. It’s less of a heady scent than Karma, more natural.

Men would also love this scent as well as woman.

Vertical Abhyanga

5 out of 5 rating

see my video of six of these new shower oils below.

Vertical Abhyanga is made with the same fragrance ingredients as their ‘Soft Touch’ body butter bar. The Soft Touch has always been one of my desert island lush product so I’m ecstatic that Lush made something else in this HEAVENLY sweet, spiced cardamom scent. Oh. My. God.

I’ll be recording a demo & review video of mine in the next week April 16-20.

Melt My Heart

This was a limited edition Massage bar from Valentine’s years ago. 3 out of 5 rating. See below for my demo video of this.

This was made in the Lush ‘Jungle’hair conditioner scent. So it has Shea Butter, Fresh Avocado Extract, Fresh Bananas, Fresh Passion Fruit, Fresh Kumquat, Ylang Ylang Oil, Vetivert Oil, Cypress Oil, Sandalwood Oil, Chlorophyll.

Here’s a video demo i made for you showing it close up.

Golden Pear soap

This is the first year (2020) that this Lush Golden Pear soap doesn’t look just like a Pear like in previous years (see in my photos below)

I demo the pear shaped soap in my video below.

It’s made with Agave syrup, pear puree, Cardamom! I live cardamom.

I give this Pear Shaped soap a 5 out of 5 rating.

I love this soap. It really does smell like pear. Its made with pear puree as its fitst ingredient. It is also more moisturizing than other lush Christmas soaps, because sandwiched between the two halves of this pear is cocoa butter. 👍🏼

Also added is Sandalwood and coconut.

I absolutely love seeing a golden pear at my sink in the bathroom for the holidays.

This is the most expensive of the holiday soaps this year but it’s totally worth it!

Lush description: “On the twelfth day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:

A jar of pear purée
Murumuru butter
Warming cardamom oil
Some agave syrup
Brazillian orange oil
Organic cocoa butter
A drop of almond oil
Five Golden things!
Sandalwood oil
Creamy coconut
A whole organic clove…
…Are all part of Golden Pear soap

This pear-fect little soap creates a luxurious lather on the skin. Pear purée and cardamom oil cover skin in a scent reminiscent of warm fruit desserts and spiced cakes while murumuru butter moisturises and softens skin. A classy addition to any Christmas bath or shower. Wrap in a knot wrap and hide in the tree’s branches for a sumptuously scented treat.”

Here is a demo and review of Golden Pear that i recorded

My photos of my Golden Pear below

Lush Uk at lush.co.uk made these exclusive bath bombs in the same golden pear scent. So we have a soap, a bath bomb, a bubble bar, a body spray, and some exclusive Golden Pear mouthwash tabs i got from Alessandro at the Creative Showcase event.

I bought six.

My shot of it in the tub.

my Scent Family Photo

As i show in my photo below..One year, for Valentines, Lush made the madonna gaultier pointy bra looking bubble bars in the Golden Pear scent.

😊 Since then, there has been a Golden Pear shower jelly, a Golden Pear shower gel and a Goden Pear body scrub that i show in my pics below. I have separate pages as well for each of them with more pics and reviews.
