Lush Kitchen June 2024 Subscription Box product video

Because i havent added three of these products to my blog here, im just going to put them here and then when i make the individual pages for Temple of Truth, Happy Hippy, and Karma Komba. Then ill have just the links to them here and move all of the pictures ive taken and my review text to the individual pages. But for now its sll here on this page. 👍🏼 I do already have Lava Lamp here.

Happy Hippy shower gel in my picture below. However, the sub box folks are making a LOTION of it for the June box. Exclusive. Never made before. 👍🏼

Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Fresh Pink Grapefruit Juice (Citrus grandis), Grapefruit Water (Citrus grandis, Aqua), Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl Betaine, Grapefruit Oil (Citrus grandis), Bergamot Oil (Citrus bergamia), Frankincense Oil (Boswellia carterii), Lactic Acid, Cocamide DEA, *Limonene, Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben. * Occurs naturally in essential oils

Review: I was upset about Happy For Sad shower gel leaving until I heard Happy Hippy was brought back. HH was a shower gel before Lush was called “Lush”, back when Mark Constantine owned “Costmetic to Go” (CTG). It is a pink grapefruit shower gel. It’s refreshing and grapefruity, It’s not too strong, not too light. Great for a morning “get you going” shower. My husband liked the smell, he said “Hey, it’s not bad”. You know this is a large step for him so it must be pretty good. Three new citrus shower gels this same year came out and not one of them smells the same. Well done Lush.

LT 2006 Description: A long time ago in a land far, far away… actually it was in 29 High Street, Poole Dorset, now Lush’s home, the Lush creative team used to run a company called Cosmetics to Go. One of their best selling products was our pink grapefruit shower gel, Happy Hippy. When CTG’s former customers heard that we’d finally bought back the rights to our old products they started haranguing us with emails, letters and bricks through the window, begging us to make their favourite, joyously refreshing gel again. We did, we tested it ourselves and we decided that it was as brilliant as we remembered. So here it is, use it and step singing from the shower. (That bit about the bricks through the window isn’t true.)

*Occurs Nautrally in essential oils

This is a beautiful cone shaped bubblebar with a deep turquoise color. It’s a VERY fragrant bubble bar. When Lush uk made them originally (Lush North America/U.S. didnt make any) the scent filled up my whole house! Its got a incense-y, and woody scent. And it was the deepest blue.

International (UK) website sold the original Blue and then later the White after a request from UK forum members to save cost and make one with no colorants.

Description: Our lovely new BUBBLE BAR has no less than 24 essential oils packed into it for a fragrant, bubbly bath. This blue version is exclusive to Mail Order, so get them while you can!

Bikini Bottom

This is a product exclusive to the July Subscription box. During July 2023 Lush partnered with Spongebob on a collab and Lush has made 9 items in total. 6 of the 9 are being sold on a limited time basis on their website, and 3 of them were made for the July subscription box.

Bikini Bottom is so pretty with red and purple swirls, and a light dusting of silver on top.

Bikini Bottom has the same yummy scent as ‘Pineapple’ body balm that is sold on the website.

This absolutely yummy scent reminds me of a coconut pineappke and banana milk shake. Its made with Davana oil and Tonka.

This bubble bar makes a pretty red-ish water with loads of bubbles. The scent is so good.

I would rate this bubble bar a 5 out of 5 rating.

Heres a Tub Demo Vid i made of Bikini Bottom being used.

Lush and Sponge Bob Square Pants Collab – Products

Lush has done another collab this Summer, with SpongeBob Square Pants. There are five products and one multi use gift. The gift box is the Krabby Bathy. Its a multi-component product made to look like the Spong Bob Krabby Patty.

As i use these products in my baths ill make a demo and reviews and ill take photos of each one in use and will have links here to their seperate pages.

1 Spongebob bath bomb

1 Sponge Bob soap

1 Squidward bubble bar

1 Surprised Patrick bath bomb

1 Pineapple body balm

1 Krabby Bathy gift set.

There are 3 more exclusive spongebob lush products made specifically for the Lush monthly subscription box for the month of July.

Bikini Bottom bubble bar wand

Gary bath bomb

Patrick soap

You can see the Krabby Patty box in the below photo.

These have nice scents, theyre different than the regular Lush scents. These smell like tropical fruit to me. A few of these have real pineapple juice in them. Theres also lime, and coconut in some of them.

Bath bomb on the left, soap on the right

Both the sponge bob soap and the Sponge bob bath bomb have the same yummy scent. Coconut, Pineapple, Buchu, Orange, Litsea Cubeba.

Heres the Krabby Bathy. I unwrap it and show the seperate components in my 5 minute video below.

The pineapple body balm has cocoa butter, shea butter, pineapple juice, mango butter, apricot kernel oil, davana oil, and Tonka. Its used like a solid lotion.

The best smelling thing in here, in my opinion, is the pineapple body butter bar.

Squidward below has a different kind of scent, made with Persian Lime, Violet, and Blue Spiralina. Its green with silver shimmer on top.

Below is Surprised Patrick bath bomb, made with coconut and vanilla.

Ice Hotel

Ice Hotel Bubble Bar

5 out of 5 rating

This icy mint & bright lavender bubble bar was sold as a Limited edition Christmas bubble bar 2002.

Lush Times 2003 description: You really have to go to a Lush shop to see this: it’s an amazing 20kg sculpture of Bubble Bar Slice, homage to the Ice Hotel in Sweden. Each slice — shame to cut it up but we have to — smells deliciously of mint and lavender for a sensationally stimulatling bubble bath. If you go to a shop you can buy a whole Ice Hotel ‘room’ to decorate and perfume your bathroom.

It was remade for forum members one time only as a special one large piece. The three pieces in my photos are ones i got from that big Christmas display piece.

It was remade again for the Lush Kitchen subscription box in 2014.

Lush got the idea for this bubble bar from the Hotel of the same name located in Quebec Canada. There is also an Ice Hotel in Sweden. It’s an actual building, a ethereally beautiful one, made of ice.

The Lush Ice Hotel bubble bar is a perfect marriage of lavender and mint. It’s smells refreshing and calming. It doesn’t get much better.

3 different pieces.

Ice Hotel 2006

its up for the vote for the June 2023 lush kitchen subscription box. the one that the Lush 2023 sub box will be making is a window piece.

Bubbling Under

See my review/tub demo video of it below.

This bubble bar was made by Lush around 2005 to smell just like “Big Blue” bath bomb and “Sea Vegetable” soap. It smells just like the bath bomb, fresh, oceanic, slightly floral and citrussy.

This is up for the vote in for the lush kitchen box for the month of june 2023.

I don’t know why I didn’t buy it much at the time when it was a regular item in lush stores.

perhaps because I liked the other bubble bars that were out at the same time a bit more. It doesnt have as much dried seaweed in it as the big blue bomb does. To some that might be a plus. Makes loads of bubbles and It makes pretty blue water.

My original big blue scent family photo from 2006. Whats missing in the original pic is my Sea Veggie, and ‘Enchanted Island’ bath melt, I couldnt find it in my lush museum until a couple of weeks afer this photo.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar , Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sea Salt Crystals, Lauryl Betaine, Lime Oil, Cocamide DEA, Arame Seaweed (Eisenia arborea), Lavender Oil, Seaweed Absolute (Fucus vesiculosus), Perfume, Gardenia Extract, Colour 42045.

Lush Times 2005 description: This mysterious blue coloured bubble bar slice is full of the best bits of the best selling Sea Vegetable Soap, so if you like that, you’ll love this. Bubbling Under has mineral-rich; skin conditioning Arame seaweed, balancing lavender and refreshing lime for a deep blue ocean experience. Its amazing fragrance makes this the perfect bubble bathing experience for the boys as well as the girls.

It’s so different than the usual Lush bubble bar scents that i’d give it a 3 and a half out of 4.

Heres my tub demo video of bubbling under

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.

Cyclops

4 out of 5 rating

see my 1 minute tub demo video below

Cyclops is a new bubble bar for Lush Halloween.

It has a nice bright pink color. This bar has no glitter.

It was harder than its supposed to be for not being a reusable bar. But it makes nice bubbles nonetheless.

While its not a 5 star bath product to me i think it’s a cute bar.

I also have the Christmas Lush 2022 products coming here.

Lush Mother’s day 2022

As i do every year, i’ll buy the products below and add pics and demo videos, reviews as soon as i get them and use them. 😊

Lush remade two favorites from last Mother’s day 2021; Atom Heart Mother, and Rose Gold. They have the same look and same name, and i’m assuming the same scent, but you never know sometimes Lush likes to trick us. lol

There’s a familiar looking bath bomb that looks exactly like the bubble bar of the same name and scent as last year, only this year it’s a bath bomb not a bubble bar. It’s ‘Jasmine’ bath bomb. I think i have one Jasmine bubble bar still from last year so it would be nice to have a bath with the bath bomb AND the bubble bar. 👏🏼

What are you most excited about? Is there anything you don’t like?

I’m wary of the Wonder Mum eye pad. I hope it’s not like the lip mask Lush made for Valentine’s day that did not work.

The Yummy Custard body wash sounds good to me. And i can’t wait to see what the soap smells like!

I’m hopeful about the shower gel. The products that Lush makes with Mimosa in them, like Rub Rub Rub scrub or Sakura bath bomb, are nice, but maybe this is a different Mimosa scent than those.

Atom Heart Mother bath bomb

Enjoy the sights and scents of a summer’s day, from dawn to dusk and into the glorious warm night, in your bathtub. I assume it’s the same appley So White or Once Upon a Time scent as last year’s, but we shall see.

Besties bubble bar

Bubbly love from your mini me, hold this uplifting citrusy bubble bar under running water for a foam filled bath.

Buzzy Mum soap

Enjoy the sights and scents of a summer’s day, from dawn to dusk and into the glorious warm night, in your bathtub.

A bonkers afternoon tea party in your tub. Steep yourself in Sencha tea, fragrant bergamot and a dash of soya milk.

Jasmine bath bomb

This fragrant flower fizzes away to reveal a creamy white bath with a sophisticated jasmine and ylang ylang scent.

Lovely hand balm

A lightweight emulsion of aloe vera and fast-absorbing oils, scented with everlasting flowers. How lovely is that! Dab or scoop this lovely hand balm onto your palms and rub all over to soften and hydrate.

Mimosa shower gel

‘Brunch babes unite! Enjoy bottomless bubbles, made with a blend of mimosa flower absolute and a dash of fresh orange juice.’

Rose Gold bath bomb

Relax into a vibrant, shimmering sunset bath. Orange and pink hues swirl while the calming floral scents release from this ornate pomander.

A wonderous eye pad with fennel and carrot juice, for Wonder Mums out there everywhere. Keep in the fridge until ready to cool and calm your eyes.

Kim the Carrot

I just could not place this scent initially.

You know what really messed with my head? Well, for Easter holidays past Lush has made carrot looking bubble bars. And so when i first smelled this Kim the Carrot on my Valentine’s 2022 Haul video I. DiD. NOT. LIKE. IT.

I was expecting a natural carrot scent. All the orange carrot shaped bars that lush has made throughout the years had carrot juice in them.

Even though its not an Easter product i still expected that scent. And when i smelled the Creamy Candy scent instead-it messed me up 😅

Lush ‘Creamy Candy’ bubble bar

It smelled familiar to me but i couldnt put my fimger on what it was that i was smelling. At the time i couldnt even tell what scent it was. Creamy Candy. It’s CREAMY CANDY 😂

This is a New, limited edition bubble bar for Valentines 2022. This wasnt my favorite. I liked the other Lush Valentine’s products below alot more than this bubble bar.

.

Here’s a video i recorded for you of my bath with Kim the Carrot and you can see what it looks like when using it.

Lush Valentine’s Day 2022

Christmas Hedgehog

4 out of 5 rating

This is Hedgehog bubble bar from the 2010’s.

This is such a cute little guy. He’s white and blue with white small shimmer mixed in with the white part, and bigger chunkier white glitter on top.

This bubble bar has the Lush classic ‘Softy’ bath bomb scent, which is made from rose, orange oil and ylang ylang.

I liked him a lot. The scent wasn’t quite as lovely as the softy bath bomb. The scent was more faint than in the bath bomb. But he was cute all the same. He had blue and green inside.

Other products in this scent: Softy, Eyeball, Powder Puff, Noriko soap, and the Valentine 2022 ‘Rose’ soap

Here is a Tub Demo Video that i made for you

Hot Toddy

4 out of 5 rating. smells of cloves, cinnamon

This is such a popular lush product with Lushies. It was never sold as a regular year round product, it was a Mid to late 2000’s Christmas limited edition bubble bar.

This came out for Yule 2003. It smells nice and warm for the winter months. It smells spicy, orangey, foody, and a little spicy like Coca Cola or something. I am the only Old skool Lushie on the planet who doesn’t think Hot Toddy is the best thing since sliced bread. That said I do think it’s good. I would rate it a 4 out of 5 rating, meaning i would sugfest you try it, i may buy one more. Versus a 5 out of 5 rating would mean i would be buying five or more of them to stock up.

Someone asked me if i thought Hot Toddy smelled the same as the Lush ‘Jolly’ shower gel. They share similar ingredients like orange oil, cinnamon, and clove but Jolly is heavier on the orange, while Hot Toddy is a tad heavier on the cinnamon.

Lush Times description: The hot toddy is our Celtic grandmother’s cure for a cold or a chill: whiskey (or whisky), lemon juice, honey and hot water. The Lush Hot Toddy will suit even the tee-total grans because you don’t drink it, you crumble it under the running water to make a warm, fruity, spicy bath with lemon peel, muscovada sugar, cinnamon, lime, clove and a pinch of paprika and a hint of soothing patchouli. It takes the chill off after coming in from the cold.

Ingredients: 100g £1.95

Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Perfume, Cocamide DEA, Clove Leaf Oil, Patchouli Oil, Lime Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Orange Oil, Muscovada Sugar, Lemon Peel, Crushed Cinnamon, Paprika Oleoresin.

The previous incarnation of the Lush Kitchen made the hot toddy bubble bar again and the shower gel a couple of times in 2014, and 2016.

Lush made a shower gel (and a few other things) in tge mid 2000’s from this scent because Lushies were begging for a shower gel in the same scent.

Other Lush products in this same scent family are Holly Golightly bubble bar, Melting Snowman bath melt, orange and spice bath melt tablet’

The Big Snow Fairy Roll

The Big Snow Fairy Roll is new. It’s a 1 kilo version of the Snow Fairy Roll. The ‘regular size’ Snow Fairy Roll is like two regular bubble bars and THIS Big SFR is even more huge.

Its the same size as this Big Comforter in my phoro below.

Screamo bubble bar wand (2021)

4 out of 5 rating. my 2 minute Tub Demo Video is at the bottom of this page. I hope it helps.

I like this bubble bar. Mostly because one of my favorite lush products is Happy Blooming shower jelly, and this Screamo bubble bar was made with that same cherryish scent.

initially when i sniffed it i smelled a licorice kind of scent. But as i continued to sniff it i can definitely smell the Happy Blooming scent.

This bubble bar is very fragrant. It’s sweet and cherry.

This is a reusable type of lush bubble bar, not a regular, break it up with your hand squishy type of Lush bubble bar.

When i got it it had the stick to hold it but when i picked it up to use it the stick came out and a couple of small pieces broke off. I was like ‘oh no’ but it didn’t hurt anything i just held it in my hand instead.

Lush description: Giggle with a ghost whilst blowing cherry scented bubbles through the mouth of the scream. Swish the blower into the bath water to create purple bubbles that will bring joy to even the darkest of Halloween nights.

Happy Blooming

When i saw the color the water was turning i said ‘yeah baby!’ 😄 And the longer i left it in the water stream the darker the purple color got.

It made bubbles like this and afterwards the bubble bar looked like i didn’t even use it. So this bubble bar is good for at least 2 baths.

Here is my 2 minute Tub Demo Video. I hope it helps.

Happy Blooming scent family

The North Pole

There is another Lush product with the (almost) similar name called just “North Pole’ which is a pink and white soap. This “THE North Pole’ is a bubble bar. They have different scents. The soap is chocolate mint, and this bubble bar is more of a creamy sweet vanilla.

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

This has a nice light bakery kind of scent. Its similar to Lush Snowcake scent but not exactly. It smells like vanilla icing. Its not really spicy. It has white shimmer on the outside of the bubble bar. The bath melt sign is where all the gold glitter shimmer comes from.

Glitter
Lots of bubbles
