This bath bomb is new this Christmas. It’s made in the Lush ‘Space Girl’ bath bomb scent.
(The 2020 Halloween shower gel is also the same scent. )
I Want a Hippopotamus is such a different and cute idea. There’s a christmas song of the same name. Lush made him to have the Fruity Space Girl/Very Very Frightening/Goth Fairy Sparkle Bar/Stargazer scent.
Scent family. Famiky members Goth Fairy and Star bubble aren’t in the photo but are in photos below.
It’s a fruity scent that is different because it combines grapefruit citrus with black currant berries. And it also has some fragrant, green citrussy Bergamot.
Hippopotamus bath bomb does a slow melty type of fizzing. It also turns round and round in the tub. There are also popping candy in him. And there are a handful of gold stars too that float in the water.
The resulting water is a beautiful shade of lavender purple with a smattering of gold stars and some silvery lavender shimmer glittery.
I would definitely recommend this. The color is great, the scent is nice, and strong, and it’s one of the less costly bombs this Christmas.
I would give this a 5 out of 5 rating for those reasons.
I had one with a Sleepy Bear bath bomb.
These are the things missing in my scent family picture above, because i took pictures of them long ago and i’ve used them already.
This is a new lip scrub product this Halloween. It’s one of the first dual flavoredLush lip scrubs created. When i receive the one i bought on the website i’ll review it here.
This has an apple scent mixed with a carmel scent. Smells quite yummy. It does a great job of keeping my lips smooth. And it doesn’t taste bad either. I tried the green part first because that’s what is on the top. It doesn’t taste quite like apples, more of a general sweetness. It smells more like caramel apples more than it tastes like caramel apples. 😊 But it’s not bad, and it smells great!
What i love about it is how it moisturizes my lips. There’s something conditioning in here. It’s probably the jojoba oil and shea butter.
This Halloween we have a new bath bomb called Bat Art (a play on the term bath art). The scent of this bath bomb is the Lush ‘Junk’ perfume scent. I have a video of my thoughts on the Lush Junk perfume that i have. While it’s not my favorite scent, i’m certain this bath bomb is going to be awesome no matter what it’s scent is 😊.
Its made in the Lush ‘Junk’ perfume scent, which is a fruity herbal scent. It has mandarin orange oil, lemon oil, Rosemary and Sage.
This is a slow, melty fizz type of bath bomb. It takes a nice, long time floating on top of the water, moving slowly all around the tub.
As i watched it a ribbon of bright blue started winding through the purple water. Soon a tail of pink started to appear. Then the best part, a trail of thick silver glitter trailed from the dissolving bat.
Be spellbound by this bat bath bomb. Full of bath-art worthy surprises, deep glittery waters await with a fresh, herbal scent that lingers.
How to use: Run a bath and drop in to reveal a spectacle before you descend into the dark purple waters. The rosemary and sage scent of Junk perfume will cleanse your aura.
How to store: Keep cool and dry until ready to release this plastic-free Halloween bath bomb.
Sparkly black, Pink and blue, silver glitter, and dark purple water.
I love this!
Heres a photo I took of the scent family
The green item is a huge shower bomb called ‘Ooze Canister’ from the Lush Kitchen subscription box. The kitchen subscription boxthat month had additional Ninja Turtles products than the regular Teenage Ninja Turtles collab had.
It’s not as easy to clean the tub after letting the water out. Not because of the black color…but because of the glitter. Just Some light wiping down and then rinsing again was necessary to get all the glitter that was stuck to the bottom. But this bomb was so worth it.
This Halloween shower gel is made with the Lush ‘Space Girl’ bath bomb scent. It’s fruity. Like a cross between citrus fruits and berryish fruits. Here below are more Lush products with the same exact scent:
Space Girl body spray

Goth Fairy Sparkle bar
Stargazer Harajuku store bubble bar

My 19 year old daughter thinks it smells like ‘Skittles’ candy. 😊
It’s a thin consistency but i can let that slide since it’s such a fun shower gel. 👍🏼
You’ll love this if you like:

Benefits:
– Grapefruit oil adds a fresh and fruity hit of uplifting fragrance, sure to boost your mood into the cosmos.
– A member of the citrus family, bergamot oil adds a cheery ray of sunshine to invigorate and enliven your bathing experience.
– Almond essential oil gives a touch of warm, sweet comfort.
Here is my Lush Christmas 2020 Haul video with descriptions, ratings, etc.
😊
For those of you who were here last Christmas-This Holiday we have approximately 21 Christmas products returning from Christmas 2019. For those of you who are celebrating your first Christmas buying Lush all of these below may be new to you. 😊
Oh before i go further, As always, Lush Uk will be releasing their Advent Calender with 24 products in it. some will be retro Christmas products, some, around 6 will be new Christmas products. They will take orders on August 27 and will deliver in November. It’s £185.00 which translates to $243.00. i’m not buying it this year because i literally have everything in it except four new products and i’m not paying 243.00 just to get four Christmas products early.
Anyway there are approximately 14 New products coming out this Christmas.
There is one new limited edition soap, one new limited edition shower scrub one new LE shower gel, four new LE bath bombs and one new LE bubble bar.
One of the new products is called a body milk. There will be Yog Nog, Sakura, and Celebrate which is only available exclusively in a Christmas gift set. Basically it’s a lotion. I have a couple of exclusive body milks and the consistency is like lotion. I added a pic of the body milks that i have at the bottom of this page including a vid showing it’s consistency. The main difference is the primary ingredients is aloe vera gel.
All the 2020 Christmas products with a link below have been reviewed and demo’d. You can click on them to go to its review page with photos and tub videos i’ve done for you.
“When the word “discon” ripples around there’s always a sharp intake of breath as people wonder if their favourite will have its fate sealed. We all have our hero products and stories of heartbreak when something treasured has slipped out of production.
As we look towards a future, lockdown presented an opportunity for Mark Constantine to reflect on the present and try every product again and again to get a better understanding of what we are offering. Backed by The Secret Masterplan there were clear criteria:
Does it serve customer’s needs?
Is it number one in its category?
Is it part of a cosmetic revolution?
12 weeks, 116 days and a lot of 4pm baths later a clear idea was forming, and with review from Lush analysts, there is a list.
There are bound to be some disappointments but far many more opportunities as we make room to create things that are best in their class – fewer products, that give you better results.
We have a dedicated team of product inventors bursting with ideas that will knock your socks off. For sneak peeks and all the BTS action of what’s to come (make sure you check out our inventor’s social media profiles) and check out #lushcommunity. “
It will take a while before these are all gone, but as always at Lush nothing is often gone forever. The newly launched Kitchen subscription box is not only a monthly delivery of retro favourites and some surprises, but also offers subscribers a chance to vote on the contents, so maybe your favourite will be back sooner than expected
See my video below where i apply it and review it.
Mark Constantine, owner of Lush Uk wanted to have a little fun so he decided to work with Helen Ambrosen on a new face and body mask.
They made it by adding a teaspoon of their ‘Gorgeous’ moisturizer and then they added the ingredients to ‘Sleepy’, Lavender, Yang ylang and Tonka.
when they finalized the product he announced that they will let us have a crack at naming the product. So people submitted they’re names and a handful of people chose ‘Beauty Sleep’ and this is the name that won.
it’s a perfect name. the mask smells amazing! if you know what the gorgeous moisturizer smells like you can imagine that plus sleepy.
instructions recommend slathering it on your face and your arms, neck, chest, back, stomach and then let it stay on your skin for 10-20 minutes while you’re in the tub or in the shower. Then after that time just rinse it off.
it’s got ground aduki beans for exfoliating and it’s LOADED with many moisturizing ingredients.
it’s a beautiful pinkish lavender color.
“Aluxurious clay face mask, which includes a spoonful of our most decadent moisturiser, Gorgeous, for a boost of hydration. The perfect step in your evening skincare routine, to help you #getyourbeautysleep.
“The combination of lavender and neroli is even more soothing than I anticipated. I noticed a significant improvement in my stress level within minutes. Skin feels soft and smooth afterwards. – bethanyjoyhall
“From its lavender and neroli scent that calms the mind…to its freshly ground Aduki beans, fresh coconut, honey, kaolin, and talc which calm and soothe the skin-this face mask is a 10/10 for me! It left my skin feeling calm, moisturized, and toned all at once.” – LaredoLushies
For a limited time, enjoy a deluxe sample of our Gorgeous moisturiser with every purchase of Beauty Sleep face mask*
As part of this purchase, all customers will receive an email with exclusive access to our special mindfulness meditation led by Mindfulness practitioner, Rose Eskafi, free of charge, to calm the mind and help you soon drift off to sleep.
*While stocks last. Sample size is 7g.
How to use Run a warm bath, put on some relaxing music and apply this beautiful face mask to clean skin. Sit back and relax. Inhale the neroli and let the valerian and lemon verbena get to work. Once you’re feeling relaxed and ready for bed, rinse away with warm water.
Lo and Behold when those of us who bought the Lush Kitchen subscription box from Lush Uk opened up our June boxes we found a surprise: a container of Beauty Sleep face and body mask. Yay!
As far as Lush masks go i really like this one. it made my skin feel cleansed and moisturized and it smelled gorgeous. Using it before bed was a good idea since the ingredients in ‘Sleepy’ (twilight) are conducive to sleep.
These are the nine products we had to choose from this month. I added which of them won the vote. And my unboxing of it is below.
The products to be voted on for inclusion in the July Lush Kitchen subscription box.
Coconut deo powder Heavanilli massage bar Creamed almond and coconut smoothie Freeze shower gel Melomint bubble bar Yoga Bomb Vanilla Puff Dusting Powder Dreamwash Smoothie
Lush made this rare, eexclusive shower jelly specifically for the May 2020 Lush Kitchen Subscription Box. This product has never been made before.
Lush has made a bath bomb called ‘Abombinaball’. The name is a play on the word abominable, as in The Abominable Snowman, but spelled A-Bomb-in-a-Ball.
It was such a special, limited edition bath bomb from 2009, and the first incarnation of the Lush Kitchen re-made this wonderful bomb for one day only. They remade the bath bomb again recently in January 2020 in the Lush Uk community favorites which is where i got the one for this photo.
The AbombinaBall shower jelly smells just as lovely and yummy as the popular limited edition bath bomb: like creamy, sweet vanilla ice cream with mint.
The shower jelly is nice and strongly scented.
Like the bath bomb the shower jelky has a blue green shimmery tone through it. Gorgeous!
There are different ways to use Lush shower jellies. Ive recorded demo videos showing how to cut slices off for use at the sink like soap. Ive ecen shown how they can be used as shampoo on your hair. It can also be used whole to rub on your body in the shower.
Additionally you can dice some of the jelly up and out it in a small kitchen seive, holding the seive in the falling water stream when filling the tub and a rich lovely bath foam will be created from the shower jelly.
I love everything about this exclusive shower jelly. The yummy scent, the way it feels, and the look of it. I would buy more than one if i could, so i would give this a 5 out of 5 rating.
This is my favorite product from the May 2020 Lush Kitchen subscription box.
This shower gel.is exclusive to the Lush Uk Kitchen subscription box.
Its actually made by combining two existing Lush products: ‘Tramp’ and ‘Smaragadine‘.
Tramp is a old lush favorite shower gel that smelled very earthy like a fairy glade. Its main scent notes were patchouli and oakmoss.
Smaragadine was an even older product from their B Never Too Busy boutique that was a liquid bubble bath made with mint, lavender, rose petal, sandalwood, orange peel, chamomile, petitgrain and ginger.
Ingredients: White Horehound and Peppermint Leaf Infusion, Balm Herb, Rose Petal and Lavender Flower Infusion, Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl Betaine, Propylene Glycol, Fine Sea Salt, Organic Orange Peel Decoction, Patchouli Oil, Petitgrain Oil, Pimento Berry Oil, Sandalwood Oil, Ginger Oil, Plantain Vinegar Gel, Perfume, Methyl Ionone, Eugenol, *Limonene, Linalool, Chlorophyllin, Methylparaben. * Occurs naturally in essential oils
Review: Thick, green and mossy. Doubles as a bubble bath. Very burnt-patchouli/clove scented; if you like the Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds bubble bar, you’ll probably like Supertramp. Scent lingers on the skin for hours after showering. I like it. For reference it’s a heavier more complex scent than Lush ‘Grass’, which is also a popular green scent.
Lush Kitchen description: An earthy, mystical shower gel that smells like wandering through tall dark pine trees in an enchanted forest over a cool soft carpet of moss. With horehound to cleanse the skin, peppermint to add a warming, fresh top note and the sensual, floral scents of lavender and rose.
Below is a scent family photo (cousins) i took of the Supertramp products below. The Supertramp extra large bubble bar was only available at the Lush Oxford Street store initially.
So Supertramp has all of these notes from the products in the pic above. Its a multi layered, spa type of scent. The Supertramp shower gel is a dark green, thick gel that is calming and soothing.
I would say that it’s one of the best green, earthy shower gels that Lush has made, along with tramp, smaragadine, serpentine, grass, Green day, Go green, Green Green bath of foam, etc.
Its a unisex scent that would be liked by both men and women.
The Supertramp in this Lush Kitchen Subscription box in the pic above is the regular 250g Medium size.
I would recommend it and would buy another one if i had the chance.
Opens May 4, 1st shipment is June 1. Apparently this time around, (as opposed to 2014-2018 incarnation of the Lush Kitchen) the Lush Kitchen is going to be more like a subscription box. You must be registered for a subscription box in order to vote on the products. £35.00 for 4-5 items which would include a couple of retro, discontinued, a couple of voted for products and a possible surprise item. What are your thoughts?
King of Skin body butter scrub (no scent. Very moisturizing with bananas.
May 15 2020
I receieved an email from the lLush Uk Kitchen announcing the new batch of Harajuku bubble bars, and Free Shipping. So i bought them. Apparently these are only available to purchase if we have registered for the Lush Kitchen subscription box.
Like ive been doing on the first batch of Harajuku bubble bars-i will create a tub demo video & review each of these for you on my youtube/instagram and here on its own page on my blog.
