I added a 4 second video below just trying to show the texture of it on my fingertip. 😊
We call them Ladybugs in the U.S., but they usually call them Ladybirds in the UK. 😊 🐞
I bought these two new Lush facial cleansers awhile back at the same time. And i’ve used all of both now but haven’t put the pics or review here in my blog yet until now. i’m doing this one first, because i’m still obsessed with this one and wish i could get more, but it’s no longer on the website. The other one is nice, i like it, but THIS Ladybird one…. oh my.
I took a close up pic
It’s a somewhat grainy paste kind of consistency. But when you apply it on your face it becomes smooth.
So you wet your face a bit, you slather a light to medium amount of this on your face, and then rub it around your face, not too hard but in a light to medium manner. Then i left it on for about 5 minutes. Then rinse off with warm water.
This smells absolutely delicious. That’s probably because it’s made with coconut, fresh papaya fruit, vanilla, orange oil, and blackcurrant.
Yummy.
My face is so smooth afterward. Then i put my regular nightly moisturizer on.
Cempasúchil (pronounced sempa soo cheel) means Marigold in Spanish. Marigolds are used ornamentally and culturally in Mexico, particularly for Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) where we celebrate our ancestors who have passed. Marigolds are white, orange, gold, and bronze flowers. They’re not perfumey in a typical floral way.
2024 Cempasúchil shower gel was made for Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead ) 2024.
The glorious scent is made with Grapefruit, Buchu oil, and Bergamot oil. It also has some of the marigold flower.
I love everything about the scent of cempasúchil. I fell in love the first time i sprayed the body spray on. It’s bright, and citrussy but with a creamy buchu note. Buchu oil has a strong and intense herbaceous and minty note, with camphor and fruity facets. It is also reminiscent of blackcurrant notes.
It’s fresh and wonderful.
2025 Cempasúchil Body Spray, Soap and shower gel were made for Dia De Los Muertos 2025. All these three 2025 products have the same scent.
(Lush also has three other soaps for Dia De Los Muertos 2025 with a different scent that don’t have the cempasúchil scent. The three other soaps have Litsea cubeba, frankincense, and bergamot.)
Anyway back to Cempasúchil 😄
The soap is almost too pretty to use, with its gold hummingbird drinking the marigold nectar.
The marigold adds to the bright colors found on Dia De Los Muertos.
I love this soap. For the look of it and the scent i give the soap a 5 out of 5 rating for sure.
I feel the same way about the shower gel and the body spray.
I’d rate the body spray a 4.5 out of 5
And the shower gel is just as amazing smelling to me. And it’s pretty with the orange color and gold sparkle.
I’d rate the Shower gel a 5 out of 5
Cempasúchil is similar to Lush ‘iced wine’ shower jelly, sharing the buchu, bergamot and grapefruit combination. except the difference between the iced wine and cempasúchil is cempasúchil doesn’t have the iced wine nor the grape infusion, and the iced wine doesn’t have marigold flower infusion.
Lush Uk is making and selling 11 new fresh facial, body and haircare care products for Lushies to buy. I’m sorry but i don’t know at this time if these will be available in the USA yet. They are available on the Lush Uk app currently for Lush Club members. These products won’t be shipped until Dec 24th.
Something in the back of my mind always wondered what currant and rose would smell like together. Ive always loved the scent and taste of currant and ive always loved the fragrance of roses. I have a red rose bush in my backyard. 😊 I love all things that Lush makes with rose and i love all things Lush makes with black currant.
I decided to buy the solid form of NoWay to Say Goodbye because i didnt want to spend $45.00 on the liquid spray bottle and then wind up not liking it. The solid was $18.00
This is a good color for this perfume because its made with currant and rose as its primary notes.
Black currantsRose
Its a push up solid perfume with a screw top.
The solid version of any perfume ive tried always lasts longer than the liquid spray.
Its smells like it’s half rose and half currant.
Black currant is what the Lush Comforter bubble bar scent is made from. The scent of this No Way to Say Goodbye isn’t quite as sweet as The Comforter. You have to like the scent of rose to like this perfume otherwise youre not going to like this.
It gets better on my skin as it dries. I wish it were just a tad sweeter and it would be SO good. As it is now its nice, i dont hate it, but i dont love it. Its not gross or anything bad on me, like i said, its nice. I’d wear it now and again but its not a perfume I’d reach for the majority of the time. If it was just a tad sweeter i would reach for it more often to wear. Id give this a 3.5 rating, because its a small bit better than average. Still, im glad i bought it.
Lush club Japan app is offering some Sultana products to Lushies in Japan in a limited time basis. 😊

Body scrub

this pic is from my friend Ethankjellvander
The Sultana fragrance is actually the Blackberry Bomb (which came first) fragrance.
Here are some pictures ive taken through the years of some of my Sultana products.
Sultana shower gel and Turtle Power body scrub made with the Sultana scent.
In my picture below from 2010 are Sultana perfume, Sultana shower gel, Sultana body lotion, Blackberry bomb, Bewitched bubble bar, and i cant remember what the magic wand bubble bar in front is called.
Stana of Fragrance perfume, Stana soao, shower gel, body conditioner, body lotion, blackbrrry bomb.
Body conditioner.
This is my most recent Sultana perfume. Ive bought a Lush sultana perfume called ‘Sultana of Soap’, and a Lush sultana perfume called ‘Sultana of Fragrance’, and a Lush perfume called just ‘Sultana’. 😄
Shower gummy is a fairly new invention from Lush. There are new shower guummies, facial gummies, and even hair gummies this year 2025.
I am LOVING this new Snowy shower gummy.
First of all i love the new creation of shower gummies. They are firmer than lush shower jellies. The lush jellies flop all over the place whereas the gummies are noticebly firmer. The shower gummy is so much easier to hold in the shower.
Secondly, the scent of Snowy is absolutely amazing. It was unexpected to me that this shower gummy would smell THIS good.
It smells like something yummy to eat for dessert. Vanilla, Mint and Sandalwood.
What a great combination! This shower gummy has convinced me that i need to buy the Mr. Wallet body spray fragrance.
Snowy is so cute for a Christmas product and its the perfect fragrance for Christmas.
If i had to decide on getting either the Lush ‘Sleepy Bear’ jelly or the ‘Snowy’ gummy for Christmas i would definitely get Snowy, no question.
Also, this is not as drying to my skin as regular soap. Its more moisturizing but not too moisturizing if that makes sense.
this is a new style of lush product called a body wash. lush has made about 5 or 6 different body wash cubes in the last year or so. the newest one is for Christmas 2025 and is called Vanilla Delight.
as you can see Vanilla Delight is topped with gold glitter. i put it next to the happy blooming delight body wash just for comparison.
all the different body washes have this same cube shape.
the consistency and texture is like big marshmallow, only a wee bit less squishy and firmer.
mine was a little squished and torn when i got it but it still works and it smells great.
it has the Yummy Custard and frozen custard scent, which is made with vanilla.
you just use it like soap in the shower. it lathers a bit. it’s more moisturizing than soap but it’s not too moisturizing. when you’re done you should put it somewhere where it can dry before the next use.
I like using these body washes. they’re different and not complicated to use , and the scent stays nicely.
Wreath is strongly scented in the best way. The fragrance is different for Lush, smelling more like the classic lush green and/or herbal scents. I loved showering with it, nicely fragrant.
Wreath is made with Galbanum,Petitgrain, Oakmoss, Thyme, and a pinch of floral from Geranium.
Looks like a pointsettia flower from a Christmas wreath.
Its almost too pretty to use! But i like using it. 😊 The scent kind of sticks around for awhile after showering or washing hands, which i like.
Lush ‘Wizard’ bath bomb from the first Wicked collab was the first product Lush made this new scent.
Lush also made this shower gel in their 2nd Wicked collab with the same scent.
It looks like a big red Hershey’s kiss or something, actually it’s shaped like Lush’s “French Kiss” bar. The scent of this bubble bar smells similar to “Hot Toddy” bubble bar. Lush made Hot Toddy for Christmas 2003 and 2004. It’s got that same nice spicy coca-cola-like smell. And also this year’s “Christmas Kisses” scent is a tad more complex than just “cinnamon-y”. One could combine this bar with alot of spicy scented or even fruity ballistics, melts or soaps for a lovely spicy-foody bath combo. Christmas Kisses bar is good enough to stand alone though. The scent lasted long on my skin which is good.
Description: Comforting spicy bubbles, as warming as a hot toddy, to kiss your body clean again.Crumble under running bath water for mounds of fragrant bubbles.
This beautiful indigo soap with its blue purple sparkle was made with the same scent as “Black Pearl” ballistic. Lavender, Black Currant fruit, Myrrh, Frankincense, and Chamomile. It’s one of my favorite soaps and one of most old skool Lushies favorite soaps. They only made it one year in 2005. We’ve been wanting it back for decades. It’s the darkest inky blue color of any soap that Lush has made, and it has the same dark blue sparkles. GORGEOUS
Im so glad i had the presence of mind to take pictures of my pieces!
Lush will be making this soap again for the December subscription box!
Lush 2005 Description: Mo named this brand new Christmas Soap after the poem describing Father Christmas’s Christmas Eve romp around the world with his reindeer. It’s the deep dark purple of a perfect starlit sky and scented with lavender and blackcurrant. We strongly suggest that you try some.
The picture below is of the Lush store large sized round (they called them truckles) soap on display. It was about 1-2 feet in diameter and had a reindeer, Santa and sleigh going through the night sky. That’s why the soap looks like it does, dark blue and sparkly. If I could’ve I would have bought a whole truckle of soap. They actually did sell whole soaps to customers if they were willing to buy one. I didn’t have a store near me in within 700 miles in either direction though.
