Frangiapani

This perfume smells so good when i first spray it on. The white flowers in it are sweet and frarant on my arm. It smells so fresh and gorgeous.

here’s a video where i review the new exclusive Lush ‘Perfume Library’ perfumes including Frangiapani. Go to 26:42 in the video for the Fragiapani perfume review and description.

Angels Delight bath bomb

5 out of 5 rating

Made in the same scent as the Lush ‘Angel’s Delight soap from Christmases past.

For a smaller bath bomb it packs a punch. Deep pink color, gold glitter and that wonderful tangerine, fruit punch-like scent of Angel’s Delight scent that i loved so much in the soap of the same name and scent.

The bomb looks like the Large in store soap which was blue, purple, pink, orange and yellow and had golden crescent moons and stars embedded in it and half sticking out of it. Always got my vote for most awesome looking lush soap.

Chris the Camel

5 out 5 rating

See my 3 minute Tub Demo Video below

This camel carries dates, just like he would in the middle east. Date syrup is one of the ingrdients in this yummy gingerbreadish, hot toddyish scented bath bomb for Christmas 2019.

Its got gold stars all over it which i love looking at as they float by in the water.

Chris looks remind me of a gingerbread cookie. I was surprised to see dark blue green and purple coming out of him in the water. What a beautiful and different color in a Lush bath bomb. I can totally appreciate that its such a different color for a Lush bath bomb.

As you can see in the video the three colors join to make an peridot colored water with golden sparkle. 😍

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!

Elf Bomb Bomb

3 out of 5 rating

See my tub demo below.

This Christmas Lush has brought back three bomb bombs, only theyve been redesigned to be more sturdy. The top and bottom fit together like puzzle pieces, instead of the precarious round version from last year which toppled off and broke usually.

Im glad for the redesign.

Elf bomb bomb is the green one and is made with grapefruit, cinnamon and ginger. Its an odd combinatuon but it works well. Its the same quirky scent as jilted elf jelly and the elf on a shelf fun bar from past Christmases.

In my tub demo.i used the top half so you could see what it looked like. And then i used the bottom half. But one could easily use the second half for another bath on another day.

The bomb bombs are fast fizzers which dissolve quickly. Elf makes beautiful emerald green water.

I just wish the scent were stronger.

Lush Silver Bells & Drummers Drumming jellies

4 out of 5 rating for both jellies. See my demo, description and reviews video below.

Since there are 70 products i asked my youtube subscribers and my instagram tv subscribers to choose which products to review next. The majority of folks chose tge jellies first. So im reviewing both silver bells and drummers drumming jellies here.

Silver bells has a new scent. It smells like fresh air, or snow, or fresh sheets. The scent is made with lime oil, orange oil and frankincense (olibanum). Its also got black sesame seed milk in it, which is different and interesting.

Silver Bells has a silver metallic sheen to it, wheras Drummers Drumming is yellow, not gold.

I find this to be more of a milky consistency as you can see in the video. Even so, it makes the same kind of lather that the Drummers Drumming and the Santa’s Belly do.

The scent of Drummers Drumming smells of peach juice. Very few (a handful only) Lush products over the last 20 years have peach juice in it.

I like it, its not too sweet but it does have a natural sweetness to it.

Its east to lather up with both of these jellies. And its easy to rinse off the jellies too. They rinse off clean and leave no kind of sticky residue or anything.

I show in the video how a teeny sliver of either jelly makes Tons of bubbles in the tub too!

Fireball

4 out of 5 rating. See my 2 minute tub demo below.

This is a beautifully designed bath bomb with vibrant yellow, orange and red colors. Looks just like a fireball! Its also got a bit of gold glitter on the red part.

This bomb was made with orange oil, ginger, and mustard powder so its nice and warming on a cool winter’s night.

It was madecin the popular Lush ‘Cinders’ scent

Its both a fast, noisy fizzer And a slow, quiet melty fizzer. Plus its got popping cansy for that ‘crackling cinders in a fireplace’ sound.

The scent is nice, medium strong. If the scent were stronger i woukd give this a 5 out of 5 rating.

The end result is a bright orange water with just a very small bit of gold glitter in the water. Its not what i would call glittery water.

Luxury Lush Pud XL Bombshell

4 out of 5

This year not only does Lush have the returning Luxury Lush Pud for Christmas, but yhey also have this new XL Bombshell type of Luxury Lush Pud.

Its not as big and heavy as some of the past giant bombs like Mother Earth, Mother of Dragons and Intergalactic XXL which were a whoooing three times the size…but it is noticeably bigger. Its not as heavy as you would think because its hollow inside.

Like the other ‘bombshell’ type of bath bomb ‘Citrus bombshell’, ‘lavender bombshell’, etc. This has a clamshell effect of having to halves with filling in the middle hollowed out portion. In the case of Luxury Pud Bombsgell the filling are crystals. Pink Agar agar crystals and salt crystals. I love the look of this! Makes it look like a pink geode crystal.

In the bath it makes a lot of different noises whuch is fun. And this also has the round colored discs like its smaller counterpart.

So we can enjoy blue, yellow, green disces of melting bicarb floating amongst the pink/orange water.

This year Lush made this and the regular sized Luxury Pud in the scent of ‘The Comforter’, instead of the ‘Twilight’ scent that it had been in previous years.

I love the creamy multicolored foam.

I was disappointed in the scent however, or lack thereof. I expected this to smell more of the comforter than the regular sized one, not less than. Quite weak in scent unfortunately.

I wish the water became more pink at tge end instead of dark orange but all in all i liked bathibg with this bomb.

Candy Cane toothpaste jelly

4 out of 5 rating. See my demo and review of it.

I’ve tried many Lush toothy tabs, mouthwash tabs and even regular toothpastes in a tube from their sister company B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful. And this is my favorite tooth product.

It’s creamy, sweet and minty just like a real candy cane. Its a tiny bit thinner than a regular toothpaste but only a bit.

As i show in my video its easy to get some on your toothbrush.

It gives that minty ‘oooh’ feeling when you breath in. It isnt gritty and therefore is good as a sensitive teeth tootbpaste. It has no fluoride, and i explain the benefits of this in my video.

If your on the fence i would suggest you get one of these. You wont be disappointed.

Lush made this fun Popcorn shaped bath bomb in the same scent as their ‘Let the Good Times Roll’ facial cleanser.

Its got corn flour in it. It smells to me like sweet, buttery corn.

It also pops because of popping candy inside.

It turns from bright yellow to gold when orangey gold spews out after a couple of minutes. Its a nice creamy bomb.

woukd recommend if you want a fun bomb for Christmas. No glitter.

Yog Nog jelly

5 out of 5 rating

See my video below of this jelly 🙂

Lush introduced Yog Nog jelly in August of 2018. Lush may, or may not, have this available for Christmas 2019.

This is an opaque, single colored yellow jelly. It feels more conditioning than other Lush jellies.

Its made with Clove bud oil, and ylang ylang flower. It reminds me of the burnt sugar smell of a creme brulee dessert. Like egg nog with burnt sugar. Yummy.

Lush International has made many products in the yog nog scent.

Yog Nog scent family

5 out of 5 rating

Yog Nog is an egg nog-like scent that has an added toasted caramel scent. Like creme brulee smells. Its so yummy that it fools you into thinking its edible. But its not.

My favorite of the bunch has to be the bubble bar. The perfume oil is the strongest.

Im glad i finally have enough things in this scent family to last me awhile. Perhaps ill sell a couple of them together.

This is a very popular set of products with Lushies. Lush has introduced it in one form or another every holiday season since 2013.

Here is a 30 second video

Candy Mountain Yule Log

4 out of 5 rating

Yeah, this isnt Snow Fairy scented firstly. Just wanted to get that out of the way.

This is Creamy Candy scented. Lush makes a bubble bar year round called ‘Creamy Candy’ in stores. Well every Christmas Lush makes a christmas themed Creamy Candy bubble bar and calls it ‘Candy Mountain.

Historically its looked kind of like a unicorn horn shape.

This year however, Lush has re-designed their Christmas Candy Mountain. It looks quite different. It has more of a laser cut mountain design. I like it, its more refined than past years Candy Mountain.

The reason people confuse this with snow fairy is because the two scents creamy candy and snow fairy/candy fluff are similar, but yhey are different and made with different scent ingredients such as synthetic musk and vanilla in varying degrees. Snow Fairy/Candy Fluff adds clove bud leaf.

This Candy Mountain has extra skin conditioning ingredients in it, moreso than other Lush bubble bars.

I recorded a 1 minute tub demo of it for you below

Strawberry Santa

5 out of 5 rating

See my short demo video below

This wonderful holiday limited edition soap for 2018 has the scent of ‘Yummy yummy yummy’ shower gel and ‘Peeping Santa’ bubble bar.

This is one of those soaps that is almost too cute to use.

That cocoa butter cream in the middle looks delicous.

I was wondering how it’s shape would be condusive to washing. However it was just a matter of holding it in more of a cupping fashion.

The scent is surprisingly and pkeasantly strong. Thank goodness.

It really is a more moisturizing soap because of the conditioning cocoa butter in the soap.

Its made with fresh strawberries, geranium, and frankincense. This gives it a fruity, sweet, but equally floral and resinous scent.

The combination is addictive.

I have used every Lush Yummy yummy yummy scented product that Lush has made in the past and this soap does not dissappoint.

Its not as sweet as say the ‘snow fairy’ soap but almost. Its one of the sweetest soaps this holiday.

This is a soap that smells so good, works so well at moisturizing, is cute, that i would have to buy 3-5 of these.

Here is a review i recorded of this soap

Description: The weather outside may be frightful but Christmas showers have never been so delightful. What better way to finish off a great feast than with a creamy dessert, sandwiched between a cocktail of fresh strawberry juice and uplifting bergamot oil. Not to be mistaken for food, take this soapy little fellow and lather up under sweet suds of calming olibanum oil and conditioning peach kernel oil. Santa’s wearing a new suit this year, it’s strawberry sweet and totally unique. Hold him upright in your hand and massage into your palm to build up a lather that Father Christmas would be proud of.

Gingerbread Man sparkle jar

5 out of 5 rating.
See my demo video and how to use video below

This smells so spicy and amazing. Its not the floral lush ginger fragranc, thank goodness, No this Gingerbread man sparkle jar has a real holiday gingerbread goodness scent.

This is another knock out wonderful product from Lush for Christmas.
i love the two products in one concept of the Lush ‘sparkle jars’.
what they are are little gorgeous containets made out of solid massage jar mixture and inside of it is dusting powder in the same fragrance!

Lush description The secret to soft skin? Okay, I’ll tell you. Do you know the muffin man?
The muffin man?
The muffin man.
Yes, I know the muffin man, who lives on Drury Lane?
Well, when you’re feeling in need of an extra festive treat, poke holes into this Gingerbread Man’s buttons and dust yourself all over to leave skin feeling silky and smooth. After the dusting powder is all used up, the Fair Trade organic cocoa butter pot can be massaged in, to moisturise and soften while clove bud and ginger oils keep you feeling warm, cosy and smelling of Christmas baking.

Here is a review and demo of how to use it.

Yog Nog Yule Log

5 out of 5 rating

See my 3 minute tub demo video below

This has such a rich, luscious scent of vanilla and rich yumminess. Yog Nog is a great dessert-like Christmas scent. Its got lots of vanilla, ylang ylang, tonka. Its sweet, but not cloyingly so. Imagine Lush Butterball but with some clove and nutmeg and carmel notes thrown in, along with even more of an array of wonderful, skin softening ingredients.

This is quite possibly the best Lush bath product ive ever had the pleasure of using.

Im pretty sure having a romantic relationship with food…or bath products that look like food…is weird.

I love this bar so much. I wish i could hug it.

Thank you Lush for having a stroke of genius.

I’m not ashamed to say that saved a fair sized chunk of this bubble bar to rub on my arms legs and face.

Yes, i know we’re not supposed to use a bubble bar this way. I just couldnt help it, its THAT good.

Rest assured though-it was worth it.

The water is so moisturizing with this bubble bar that it’s harder to get quite the ‘loft’ of bubbles like the usual lush bubble bars bring. The extra decadence is worth the loss of bubbles trust me.

I would rate this one of those rare products that is above a 5 out of 5 rating.

I would say this has the potential for being a classic, like Snowcake or Luxury Lush Pud.

*Stares at any potential readers from Lush Inc in a pleading way*

I will definitely buy 5-10 of these.

Here is my 3 minute tub demo video below.

So you’ve had your fill of Christmas dinner, you’ve drunk all the mulled wine you can hold and you’re stuffed to the brim with mince pies… So what do you say when someone offers you a sweet treat filled with warming cinnamon and nutmeg powders, softening soya milk and moreish cocoa butter? Say yes of course! There is always room for more pudding and this skin softening dessert is worth the extra indulgence. Crumble this bubbly Battenburg under running water to release tempting mounds of fluffy foam. Climb in and let the Fair Trade shea butter soften skin as clove bud oil warms you from top to toe. A final flourish of uplifting ylang ylang oil encourages positivity and ensures that even the terrible Christmas cracker jokes don’t turn you into a Scrooge.
