Bubble Bubble Toil And Trouble

5 out of 5 rating. See my 2 minute tub demo video below. I show the fluorescent water.

5 out of 5 rating. It fluoresces under UV/black light.

Its made in the popular Lush ‘Calacas’ scent. Made with fragrant lime, frankincense and neroli.

Its not a reusable bar, its a regular squishy kind of Lush bubble bar.

Its not particularly conditioning but it makes TONS of bubbles.

No glitter. I would buy this again.

“Enchanting zest and glowing bubbles

Soak yourself in spellbinding waters that glow like the light of the moon and seal the charm firm and good with bewitching lime and neroli bubbles.

You’ll love this if you like:

– Banishing negative energy with uplifting lime and neroli

– To bestow your bathwater with a supernatural glow

– Citrusy scents like Calacas body spray, Calavera bath bomb and Key Lime Pie lip balm.”

Benefits:

– Fair Trade organic cocoa butter softens and soothes your skin – Lime oil banishes the spirit of tiredness

– Neroli oil lifts your mood to a higher plane

How to use: Crumble into running water to create your bubbling cauldron. Don’t forget to charge this bar under the light of the full moon (actually any light will do) to get the best glow up!

How to store: Keep away from water and don’t feed after midnight. Give it a good charge in direct light before using it in your bath.

Calm a Llama Party Pinata

5 out of 5 rating see my 2 minute tub demo vid below.

This was made in the Calacas scent. Lime, neroli and frankincense. It smells like perfume-y, resinous limes.

I love the bright pink, orange and yellow (calacas colors) colors which combine to create a dark orange color.

It has a nice strong, true calacas scent!

He has little confetti in him that float in the water. My camera wasnt able to pick thoe up.

Heres a video of it

Skullduggery

See my tub demo video of Skullduggery below.

4 out of 5 rating.



Lush Times: Skullduggery is an eerie but magical celebration for your bathtub. We used brightening and refreshing lime and neroli for the fragrance and olibanum (also known as frankincense resinoid) to help that citrusy smell stay on your skin until the witching hour and beyond. Lime oil is a popular ingredient in remedies to combat congested skin, cellulite or simply to wake you up! We use expensive neroli oil as it is one of the few essential oils to be scientifically proven to increase serotonin production in the brain – Arriba! Olibanum resinoid, otherwise known as frankincense, has a woody, slightly fruity aroma and covers the skin with a thin, protective film, softening the skin. It is extremely effective on sore, cracked, de-hydrated skin.

He has little swirly designs on his head. I tried to show that in the pic below.

 Jack invented Calavera Bath Bomb last year for our Day of the Dead celebration; a very zesty number full of vibrant, bright colours to get you celebrating in the bath. He chose uplifting citrus oils for the fragrance, as they can help clear your head after a night of celebrating the dead (with one too many tequilas!)



Decorated skulls (or Calaveras) are iconic in Day of the Dead imagery – so this year, we took the concept of Jack’s Bath Bomb last year and gave it a slightly spookier look. This ballistic is limited edition so get it while you can.

This doesn’t make any colors in the bath, but it is cute.

Here’s a demo and review video i made of Skullduggery in the bath

Here’s a ‘scent Family portrait’ photo i took of all the Lush ‘Calacas scented things, except for the wonderful ‘Enchanter’ which is not in the family portrait. I want Lush to pleeeease make Enchanter again someday.  I love Skullduggery and Enchanter equally.  One has the super cute factor, and one is one of the most colorful lush bath bomb i’ve ever seen. 🙂

Lady Catrina

 5 out of 5 rating

This is SUCH a pretty soap. Especially the giant piece that they cut the rectangular pieces from. The big slab looks like a Giant Hat with flowers which is what Lady Calavera Catrina looks like. Known for her big hat. 🙂

It’s referencing the Mexican ‘Day of the Dead’ (Dia De Los Muertos).

It’s in that same wonderful Calacas scent. Calacas was made to be like the Mexican punch. it’s got lime, neroli and frankincense.

I love this!

Made with the Calacas scent.

Lush Times: Shaped like a fruity hat and decorated with flowers, there’s a hauntingly beautiful quality to our purple soap, the Lady Catrina. But the zesty fragrance of fruit pastilles and freshly cut limes will revive even Kirkman’s Walking Dead when you wash your hands and body.

Calacas shower gel

See my demo and review video of Calacas shower gel and other lush products with this same “Calacas’ scent below

Calacas shower gel was first made in a green color in 2011.  It has the “Day of the Dead” lush fragrance.  Lime oil, neroli oil.  It smell slike a light, fragrant perfume.  Like Lime pastille candies but not as sweet.  It’s beautiful.  More current are the Calacas that look different colors depending on what kind of light you’re looking at it under.  Most of the current bottle of Calacas shower gel look like two colors, orange and green, in the same bottle, that is so cool.
