Cempasuchíl

5.0 out of 5 rating

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.

Golden Angel

5 out of 5 rating

see my 2 minute tub demo video below 😊

This is a new bubble bar for Christmas 2022. Lush made it in the shape of an angel, and it has gold shimmer on the putside and mixed through the bar.

This bubble bar has the scent of Lush ‘Honey I Washed the Kids’. It smells like toffee. Yum.

It made a lot of bubbles, and it has lots of gold shimmer sparkle in the water.

Santa’s Magic Sleigh

This is a fun 3 in 1 bath bomb for Christmas 2021. There are three pieces, and each piece has its own color and scent. The yellow sleigh is comforter scent which smells like ripe berries. The red santa is made with Snow Fairy scent. And the Butterbear smells like Butterball.

I took a series of progressive photos below showing how it looks as it dissolves.

Its one of those fast fizzy bonbs that lush make, not the slow, foamy ones. That said, for being a madly fizzing kind it does make decent bath art because of the different colored bombs.

The outcome is a deep orange bath water.

Id rate this a 5 out of 5 because i like the new 3 in 1 idea, and for the idea of making different parts to have different scents. So you can use parts of it per bath or you can use it all at once.

Rose Gold

4 out of 5 rating

See my 5 minute Tub Demo Vid below

Rose Gold bath bomb

Run a bath, drop in and escape into a shimmering sunset dream with calming floral scents. A perfectly opulent Mother’s Day gift.

How to store:
Keep in a cool, dry place ready for a softening soak.

This is apparently made in the Lush ‘Wintergarden’ bath bomb scent, which is very floral.

The Lush description has something about this being the colors of a sunset. I can see why.

The bomb is beautiful with its multi floral pattern and it’s beautiful color of rose pink with gold all sround it.

For some reason this didn’t smell exactly like Wintergarden. I adore the scent of Wintergarden and even bought the exclusive Wintergarden body spray-but this bomb, especially when in the water smells a bit different to me. I could swear it has an almost jasmine-like scent but it must just be my nose.

As it starts to dissolve it lets out a stream of gold and orange foam.

It certainly does have the colors of a sunset.

Ingredients

List of ingredients

The primary scent is ylang ylang, but it also has bergamot and orris root powder.

Even the glitter is pink and gold. 😍 You can see this dual colored glitter very well in the Tub Demo Vid below.

It ultimately blends together to make an orange colored water.

A beautiful bomb for Mother’s Day. I still like the scent of the Mother of Pearl more but the design and color of this Rose Gold is beautiful.

Nero

2 out of 5 rating

Nero perfume

I expected to love this perfume, after all im a neroli freak. I.love all things from lush that are primarily neroli based like ‘frozen’ or ‘love snd light’ body lotion or ‘prince’ cplogne. But unfortunately, no matter how many timrs i try this on me i just don’t like it. It has a strange note in it that makes it smell odd. None of the normal neroli goodness comed through. No matter if it wet or after its dried.

“

A royal favourite blended with an elevating wealth of zesty bergamot and neroli.

Bursts of floral neroli meet smouldering petitgrain oil, creating a fresh and woody fragrance. This perfume was inspired by the origins of the name Neroli. One theory suggests it arose from Emperor Nero, an avid perfume and fragrant flower enthusiast. Another surmises it stemmed from a much-loved French noblewoman named Anne Marie, Princess of Nerola, renowned for adorning her signature gloves and bath water with uplifting neroli oil.”

You’ll love this if you like:

– Fresh, green notes.
– Sun perfume.
– Regal scents.

I LOVE Sun perfume, and i dont know ehy they compare it with Sun because it smells NOTHING like it. I wish it did. I have both and nope!

It has an odd chemically smell.

Its a shame as i wanted to love this.

The Honey Pot

5 out of 5 rating.

see my relaxing 4 minute tub demo video below

I took various pictures below of the Honey Pot i bought, including a pic of it cut in half so you can see what it looks like on the inside.

This honey pot bubble bar is one of 60 new Lush Harajuku Japan store bubble bars sold for a limited time on the Lush usa and Lush uk website.

This is a big bar, enough for two baths. It’s a bubble room style with cocoa butter sandwiches in the middle of two halves.

The scent of Honey I Washed the Kids is strong and rich and yummy in this bar.

The bar is conditioning to my skin. And that sparkle is beautiful.

Bubblezzzz

You do you, honey! You’re Queen Bee and deserve nothing but the best. If life has you feeling sour, get it back in balance with some sweet-smelling bubbles made with rich Fair Trade organic cocoa butter and zesty bergamot oil.

You’ll love this if you like:

– The syrupy scent of honey but live a vegan lifestyle.

– Honey I Washed the Kids Shower Gel, Honey I Washed the Kids bath bomb, Honey I Washed My Hair shampoo bar

– Sticky baked goods worthy of a Parisian patisserie.

Benefits:

– Brazillian orange oil offers a fresh and fruity burst that lifts your mood.

– Fair Trade shea butter moisturises leaving velvety skin.

– Gardenia extract provides an exotic scent known for treating headaches and tension.

How to use: Break apart this luxurious bubble bar and crumble one half under hot running water. Jump in and surround yourself in relaxing bubbles like it’s your own personal hive.

How to store: To stop your honey from going runny, keep your bubble bar in a cool dry place.

Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar (Potassium bitartrate), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Lauryl Betaine, Titanium Dioxide, Brazilian Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Bergamot Oil (Citrus aurantium bergamia), Fair Trade Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Laureth 4, Tin Oxide, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, *Citronellol, *Geraniol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 19140, Colour 77491

Snow Apple

5 out of 5 rating.

See my Lush Christmas soaps video below.

This is a new soap for Christmas, and Lush made this soap in the popular ‘So White’ bath bomb scent. The scent is made with orange flower and smells just like a tart green apple! The fragrance actually makes my mouth water.

Its green with silver snow covering it, and it has a leaf on it just like a fresh picked apple. Its not conditioning. The scent is nice and strong and leaves a marvelous fresh scent of crisp apples on my skin.

One of my top favorites this Christmas!

Snow Apple

5 out of 5 rating.

See my Christmas 2019 soaps video below for more in depth descriptions.

This wins my vote for prettirst looking Christmas soap this year (though Shooting Stars comes close).

Its a silver apple. Gorgeous! Who doesnt want to see this at the sink in thw soap dish.

Its made me in the Lush So White scent.

Lush used to have an all white Christmas bath bomb valled So White. It was a white apple.

The scent is made with orange flower, bergamot, neroli and rose.

Its a bright, crisp green apple scent. The scent is fairly strong.

Wonderful!

I absolutely LOVE the yummy vanilla and pink grapefruit scent. I’m addicted.

See my sink demo and review Video Below.

Lush made a Mama Mia body spray

Avocado Co Wash scent family

There are one or two other products that arent in this photo.

All the avocado co wash products made by Lush over the years and currently are listed below in order of the originating product at the top of the list.

Avocado Co Wash hair conditioner

Avocado Co Wash shower gel. This is a thick shower gel.

Avocado Co Wash body lotion

Melusine exclusive, limited edition bath bomb

Avocado Co Wash exclusive uk body spray

Avocado Co Wash naked shower cream

Minamisoma shower oil

I’m also checking to make sure that one of the Lush 2018 ‘bauble melts’ isnt avocado Co Wash scented.

 

Its a very sour lime scent with a nice sweet note in it. It’s quite a big burst of a limey fragrance made with sweet, fruity bergamot oil, fragrant incense-y yet citrussy frankincense (olibanum), and the lemony litsea cubeba herb.

There is the addition of avocado, which is moisturizing and softening for skin and hair.

This is a bubble bar made for Mothers Day.

There is rosemary, nettle, vinegar and lavender flower in the conditioner.

Puddy Holly

4 out of 5 rating

£4.95/$6.49
This is not a returning product but is new.

This smells yummier than i thought it would. I thought it might be spicy like lush holly go lightly but Puddy Holly smells different, like a yummy almond and vanilla dessert. It smells similar to the popular Lush ‘Snowcake’ scent but a bit sweeter.

Puddy Holly is made with Tonka. Tonks bean smells much like vanilla onky a bit carmely.

Its not a strong heavy scent but more of a medium light scent.

Its got conditioning cocoa butter sandwhiched in the middle, which is moisturizing to my uber dry skin.

I like the pretty emerald colored water it gives.

There is also a bit of silver sparkle. Not a large amount though, its every so slight.

I would buy another, but i wouldn’t stock up on them. Thats why i give this bubble bar a 4 out of 5 rating.

Description: Have a holly, jolly bathtime,
Almond oil sweetens your day!
Water a-glow with bubble mountains of snow
And soothing slicks of shea.

Have a holly, jolly bathtime
In a marzipan scented dream.
Soft cocoa butter on your toes,
And fifty shades of green.

Have a holly, jolly bathtime
Let bergamot give you cheer.
Oh by golly have a holly jolly bathtime
This year!

Here is a demo of it in the tub that i recorded for you

Candy Cane bubble bar

2025

This year, 2021, Candy Cane has a new scent. Peppermint! Also, in past years it has been red and white. This year it’s pink and white.

2017-2020

3 out of 5 rating

£3.95 (converted to $5.13)

I like this new Candy Cane reusable bubble bar. For a reusable bubble bar its nice. Its harder for me to like the reusable kind for whatever reason. I guess its the softer texture i like. But like i said i make an exception for this one because of the way it looks. A perfect candy cane. Spot on. You can even hang it on the tree as an ornament.

Makes a cute stocking stuffer for Christmas.

I like the surprising fruity scent. Lush says its a new scent. The ingredients say its made with l lemon and bergamot.

For whstever reason i smell cherries, and im not complaining. I like this smell.

The color of the water is kind of a peach color.

This makes lots of bubbles! And as you can see from my video i had an entire bar left! More than enough for a second bath! Possibly a third.

While i like this i might buy one other but Im not sure what im looking for as far as bumping this to a higher rating. I guess because i like the bath bombs more than the bubble bars, and i like the reusables even less. Like i say its a 3 rating so that means i would indeed recommend it, its just not high up on the list of lush Christmas 2018 products. There are plenty of products for Christmas this year from Lush that i like more.

If it was not reusable but had the same shape, and had white and red sparkles on it and had mint along with the cherry, that would bump it up to a 4 or 5.

Here is a 2 minute tub demo i recorded for you of the Candy Cane reusable bubble bar.

Lush description: What’s red and white and can be used over and over? A decoration for the tree or a cheeky stocking filler, the possibilities are endless when you take a trip down candy lane. Hang out with this double stripe of bergamot and Sicilian lemon oils to lift the mood and create a fruity fresh fragrance that will have you bathing time and time again. Hold under the running water to froth up mounds of fluffy bubbles before placing on the side to dry, ready for your next trip to candyland.

Love Apple

5 out of 5 rating here are some photos I’ve taken and a video demo and review I recorded of Love Apple. 

Love Apple was a product that Lush sister store the ‘B Never Too Bust To Be Beautiful’ store in London sold in 2005-2008.

It was part of the ‘Love’ product line sold at B Never. Love is a fruity, lightly spiced scent. More recently Lush has begun to sell the Love perfume again.

In my picture below i arranged some original Love items and one current Love item.

Revelation

4 out of 5 rating

The new 2017 Revelation has the scent of Berry Berry Christmas, not the Potion scent as the one in my review below is made from. Berry berry christmas and thus the new Revelation bath oil, have a lushious, fruity, orange scent. This 2017 revelation isn’t spicy, nor floral, as the one i reviewed below is. The one i had was just a prototype. 🙂

The prototype from the Lush Summit has a spicy scent.  I like the scent. It smells like carnation oil and cloves and was made in the Lush ‘Potion’ lotion scent, also having rose, tangerine.

The new one has orange and bergamot in it and I quite like the new scent. the new one is also a 4 out of 5 rating.

See my tub demo of it video below

Star Light, Star Bright

5 out of 5 rating. See my demo video below. 

One of only three or four lush products ever, that are all silver.
This has lime and ginger, so it smells bright. And the silver shimmer in the water is awesome.

Description: Catch a falling star and put it in your… bath. We have been working for a long time to make this Christmas bath melt – a shimmering bright star for an extra special bath filled with light and lustre. The shea butter fondant centre inside this bath melt is rich and moisturising, creating a soft and creamy bath. When the star melts, its silvery lustre spreads into the water creating a magical trail of starlight. Refreshing ginger and zesty lime oil inspire positivity and will also give you an extra boost. Close your eyes, make a wish, crush this melt under running water and watch as your bath turns into a turquoise, silvery pool of star light.

The comforter bubble bar

5 out of 5

Berry yourself under a blanket of bubbles.

Sometimes you just need to shut yourself away in the bathroom under a blanket of fruity foam that will put you back in the right frame of mind to face the world.

You’ll love this if you like:

– Fruity, cosy fragrances.

– The Comforter bath bomb, Blackberry bath bomb, Abracadabra bubble stick – Feeling warm, comforted and snuggly.

Benefits:

– If you’re feeling blue, a bright bath bursting with bergamot will get you back on track. – Cosy and warm-scented, cassis absolute has a similar smell to those of blackcurrants. – Cypress oil is antimicrobial and helps to soothe sore muscles.

How to use: This bar is supersized, so you’ll only need to crumble half a bar under your tap to make enough bubbles for a long, comforting soak. Or go for the whole thing if you’re feeling extra fruity!

How to store: Keep in a cool, dry place until you need a little bit of extra comfort in a berry lovely bath.

This is a very popular scent with Lushies.  It’s a loverly black currant scent.  Like berries.  It’s a creamy berry scent too, not tart.

It’s a double sized bubble bar, so you can use as much or as little as you want.

I am SO in love with this bar, I must always have a small stash of these at all times, it’s become a staple item for me.

I owuld rate this bubble a 5 out of 5 rating

I love the look of this bubble bar.

I’m being picky, thats the only reason i didn’t rate it an 5. I wish it was a tad sweeter. Anything from 4-5 means i would buy nore than one.

Another scent family photo

Lush told me This has the same scent as the Lush Easter soap “Egg Hunt“, and the Lush bath oil ‘Razzle Dazzle‘, and

Lush Times: If you’re wondering what kind of creature a Mumkin is then it’s no use asking us, because we don’t know either! All you need to know is that she’s cute, very friendly and loves to be crumbled under the tap to bring you mountains of fruity bubbles. The Mumkin smells of sweet raspberries and colours the bath water a pretty shade of pink.

Mumkin, mumkin in love, pumkin. The light pink and lavender colored ‘Mumkin in Love’ or ‘Kisskin’ is rare, originally made only in Japan for their White Day. Later Lush Uk made this for one day only.

 

Its a somewhat raspberry-ish scent. Its not sweet. Its one of the cutest bubble bars. It makes beautiful water, as you can see in my tub demo below.

 

Here’s a demo video i made of this cute bubble bar

Egg Hunt

4.5 out of 5 rating.

This is such a cute soap! This design was back in the day around 2007. Later it was just a rectangle with a yellow egg in the middle.

The scent is dedcribed as a raspberry ish scent, although not sweet. If it was a bit sweeter i would give it a 5 out of 5

Me picture below has the other products that Lush has made at different times with the same scent.

Here’s a demo & review video i made for Lush Egg Hunt soap 🙂

The Comforter body lotion

5 out of 5 rating

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, and soooo many more at this time. 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
