Cinnamon Spiced Latte ☕️🎃🍮🍫🍦🍊🥧

5 out of 5 rating

This is SO yummy. It really does smell like some kind of yummy holiday coffee you’d get from Starbuck’s, but better.

It’s made with Cinnamon, Roasted Cocoa, Ginger, Clove, Coffee, Vanilla, Nutmeg, Orange, and Patchouli.

The color is orange, glittery and gorgeous and looks like Fall/Halloween. 😍 🎃🧡🍁

It has pumpkin pie spices like nutmeg, and cinnamon, then mixes in smooth buttery cocoa and vanilla, and clove brings a holiday vibe.

Then it has Orange and patchouli combine particularly well together, just think about a couple of lush classics like Hot Milk and Hot Toddy.

All this combines for a luscious lightly spiced buttery and creamy dessert scent that’s not too sweet but just perfect.

This year Lush is selling both the Cinnamon Spiced Latte body spray too! It smells just as delicous, made with the same yummy ingredients like cinnamon, vanilla, coffee, etc.

Lush description:

“For latte lovers who take their foam seriously — warm cinnamon, spicy ginger and grounding nutmeg blend smoothly into a coffee and vanilla base that’s rich, mellow and never over-roasted. Perfectly frothed and exquisitely spiced, this latte has your name written all over it. (Probably misspelled).”

This has a slightly better than average amount of staying power which i’m happy about. i’m so glad i bought this.

Last Years pumpkin spice, vs. this years cinnamon spiced latte.

£1.95 100gs

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar (Tartaric acid), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, Clove Leaf Oil (Eugenia caryophyllus), Patchouli Oil (Pogostemon cablin), Lime Oil (Citrus aurantifolia), Benzoin Resinoid (Styrax benzoin), Cinnamon Leaf Oil, (Cinnamomum cassia), Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus dulcis), *Cinnamal, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 14700, Cinnamon Quill (Cinnamomum cassia). * Occurs naturally in essential oils.

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.

Boogie Woogie

4.5 out of 5

I got this from the Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar. It was only available in that advent gift set, not in stores and not online.

I was surprised at how wonderful this soap smells.

Its so different looking. Kind of a psychedelic mix of tan and olive green. Not my favorite colors but omg the scent. Its yummy. A fruitiness with a bit of spice. Grapefruit, Ginger, Cinnamon, and osmanthus. Its the Jilted Elf scent.

It feels good this soap, kind of silky. Like i say i was surprised. This soap doesnt smell like it looks if thst makes sense. I liked it alot. i like the Jilted Elf scent which is what its scent is.

I had to have this at my bathroom sink at all times. Now it’s just a sliver of its former self and i enjoyed every wash with every bit of it.

Below are my pictures of other lush products with the same scent.

see my 3 minute tub demo video below

Lush says this smells like cookie dough lip scrub or cherryish body scrub. Yeah, No, this doesn’t smell like either one 😄 This smells like Cinders bath bomb/Secret Arts bath bomb to me. Just like it. And it’s got the same exact ingredients.

“An explosion of spice

Does it feel like the tectonic plates are shifting below your feet? Don’t blow your top! Let off some steam with the awesome power of Vesuvio’s warming bubbles and stimulating ingredients. You’ll feel no aftershocks in this volcano’ s molten orange waters, so close the door and don’t let anyone int-erupt.

You’ll love this if you like:

– Heating things up with spicy cinnamon and sweet almond essential oil. – Cookie Dough lip scrub or Cherryish body scrub.

– Letting bath time go off with a bang!

Benefits:

– Stimulating cinnamon increases circulation to ease achy muscles and keep skin glowing.

– Overflowing with almond essential oil and Brazilian orange oil, this sweet and nutty bubble bar comes with an explosion of uplifting citrus.

– Cocoa and shea butters melt in the water to help your skin feel lava-ly and soft.

– Not even white-hot lava can get rid of plastic, that’s why this bubbling cone comes completely naked!”

How to use: Add some warm water into the crater in the top and watch as the molten mix fizzes and overflows into the bath. Then crumble the rest of the bar under the tap for peaks and ridges of warming bubbles.

How to store: Keep Vesuvio dormant by storing in a cool, dry location to avoid a premature bubble eruption.

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 made in 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.

Ol’ Blue Skies

5 out of 5

This was a limited edition shower gel in 2006 in the UK..

Its got a pretty sky blue color and some silver glitter, but only a small amount of glitter.

The name is a play on words. Decades ago tgere was a popular singer Frank Sinatra. His nickname was Ol Blue Eyes.

Heres what the original looked like. It was called Ol Blue Skies is Back, years and years later when the Lush Kitchen made it for a limited time run it was the sky blue color you see above. This is what the original limited edition shower gel looked like. It had alot more silvery blue luster and it was a lighter blue.

Sorry my pics below are blurry i didnt take very good pictures back then.

Lush made this shower gel with the same scent and ingredients as their blue skies and fluffy white clouds bubble bar, which is sold in all Lush stores.

Its fragrance is made with patchouli, cinnamon leaf oil, frankincense and a bit of lemon.

Ingredients: Fresh Lemon Infusion, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, Patchouli Oil, Glycol Cetearate, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Frankincense Oil, Sea Salt, snowflake lustre sparkle.

*Eugenol, *Limonene, Perfume, Colour 42090, Methylparaben, Propylparaben. * Occurs naturally in essential oils.

Review: Great lustre to this shower gel. The Blue Skies and Fluffy White clouds scent smells so good as a shower gel. I swear I smell more cinnamon than in the bath foam.

Review: This smells just like the past Christmas soap called “Reddy for Christmas” It’s smells like a combination of red hots (from the cinnamon) and Angel’s Delight(because of something fruity). It’s similar if not in the same scent family as Hot Toddy, except it has no clove. It’s scent lasts a medium amount of time and it’s also a medium strong soap scent. Love it.

Blue Skies liquid bubble bath

5 out of 5file-sep-25-4-09-37-pm

Bkue Skies used to be a liquid bubble bath before it was a solid bubble bar like it is now.

Then in the late 90’s lush started selling their now famous solid bubble bars. And the Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds was a larger blue and white swirly bar.

A bit later as a limited editiin Lush made a shower gel called Ol’ Blue Skies it was aighter blue with a light amount of silver spsrkle mixed in.

The Liquid Blue Skies bubble bath is SUCH a beautiful shade of deep cobalt blue. It mesmerizes me.

Lush only made a handful of different liquid bubble baths. For instance Bathos was originally a liquid bubble bath.

More Recently in 2018 Lush made a Blue Skies & Fluffy White Clouds bath bomb. It was made look like a cloud.

The scent is a combination of earthy patchouli and cinnamon.

Here’s a demo and review video i made of this bubble bath in the tub.

Hot Java

3 out of 5 ratingIngredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cinnamon Sticks, Perfume, Ginger Oil, Cinnamon Powder, Ginger Powder, Coriander Oil, Ginger Absolute, Ylang Ylang Oil, Juniperberry Oil, Gardenia Extract, D&C Red No. 33

This is/was Lush’s spicy bath bomb in 2004 and it smells like clove, cinnamon, and ginger. It’s a good staple ballistic for the cold weather months.  To me It needed some depth. It was very acidic, and astringent, like tea is.  It’s more bitter then i would’ve imagined. I just wish it could’ve been sweeter, just a teeny weeny bit.  There is cinnamon bark in the bomb which drift around in the water but Hot Java isn’t spicy as Lush’s “Marathon” bubble bar, or Hot Toddy, which were spicier.After I used my five up, I never bought one again.
Hot Java was DCd in 2007. It was in regular production for about 1 1/2 years.

LushHotJava

Lush Times 2006 description: Jump into a Hot Java bath every time you need warming up. It’s for cold days . so that’s most of them . or days when you’ve got a cold or when you.ve been out in the cold and need warming up right through. It’s good for when you’re feeling creaky after exercising too. Run a warm bath, drop in the Hot Java and let the spices soak right in. There’s warming ginger oil, warming ginger powder and some warming ginger absolute too. Very warm! Powdered cinnamon is traditionally used to relieve aches, ylang ylang relaxes your muscles and juniper berry oil is said to help relieve stiff joints. A week in the tropics would be lovely but a Hot Java will do nicely.

There are all kinds of tiny pieces of cinnamon stick all over the tub. If you dont like bits in your bath i recommend putting this bsth bomb in a kitchen strainer and then hold the strainer in the falling water stream. No bits this way.

This is fast fizzing bomb. It dissolves quickly.

The resulting water is a dark coral color.

Marathon

5 out of 5

Mint and cinnamon. Has the scent of wiccy magic muscles massage bar and 93,000 miles jellyAs I crumbled the soft deep orange bar with a paper flag of differing countries embedded in it, I smelled a wonderfully spicy blend of what smelled to me like oranges, peppermint or eucalyptus, and some eastern Indian spices. When I got in the water, this is a bar that I could feel working on my sore muscles in seconds. The smell and the feeling of the bars ingredients reminded me of the now discontinued Lush ballistic “Fizzy O’Therapy”, which had mustard seed oil in it. But Marathon is better. During this bath I wondered if this Marathon bar had mustard oil as well and apparently so. This bar makes a very noticeable difference with regard to sore muscles and being achey.

If you’ve just run a Marathon or done any work that makes your muscles achey and sore, Marathon is a great one to have around. It reminds me of the feeling of that old nasty aching muscles rub called “Deep Heat”, not the smell but the way it made your muscles heat up in a very noticeable way? Yep. Marathon smells like…Fizzy O’Therapy ballistic. I can still feel it’s effects and it’s been an hour since I got out of the tub. It’s heating properties keep going even after the bath. Because of attractiveness, bath water color, and mostly the way it works, this bubble bar gets 4 stars from me.

Ive bought a lot of Phoenix Rising bombs. 😊

Also, I actually got to see how the Lush Ltd factory in England make phoenix Rising, and i recorded it.

Additionally I made a short video of it in my tub at the bottom of this page.

My U.S. Phoenix Rising

Lush Times: All the myth and magic of a phoenix, pressed into one bathtime experience, which lets you arise at the end feeling refreshed and ready for the next 500 years. Your phoenix will sink to the bottom then rise in triumph, her mythical sparkling purple and green plumage unfurling through your bath water. She’ll release gentle shea butter, cocoa butter and jojoba oil to leave your skin feather-soft. Exotic essential oils of fruit and spices take your mind on a flight of fancy to distant shores where you are lying on a beach drinking spiced rum.Actually, you won’t want to rise again from this bath – you’ll want to just stay on in there gliding on the dream! The phoenix is often quoted as using cinnamon sticks to make her nest. So we’ve topped this ballistic with some, so she has some handy nesting material, should she wish to stick around at yours for a while. Meanwhile, it will also add to the delicate spiciness of your bath.

Lush description: The work on this website had been going on in the background at Lush for quite some time. Having a current website trading plus a new one that is being built made for very confusing conversations when talking about things for ‘the website’. To end the confusion, we gave the website under construction the name Phoenix. So Phoenix has been very much on everyone’s mind here at Lush; not least Jack, who has been working on it for over a year. When he went into the lab to invent new ballistics, he couldn’t shake his mind free of it – and thus we now have a Phoenix Rising ballistic!

Pooh Stix

See my Tub Demo Video of my Pooh Stix bath bomb below.

This bomb doesn’t color the water.  It’s an old school classic lush bomb from 1998.  It has stick pieces of cinnamon in the bath bomb.  They are supposed to represent a game of throwing six into the river on a bridge in the book Winnie the Pooh’.

This is a fast fizzer in the tub.  It fizzes away quickly.  It smells spicy and licorice-y.  I like black licorice and i love cinnamon.  I’ve used this to perfume the bathroom or my bedroom.  It smells yummy.


Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Pimentoberry Oil, Patchouli Oil, Rosewood Oil, Liquorice Root (Glycyrrhiza blabra), Cinnamon Sticks (Cinnamonum zeylanicum), Aloe Vera Extract (Aloe barbadensis). 200g £1.50

 

Spring 1999 UK Lush Times: Those who have read A.A. Milne’s books will know the game, Pooh sticks, invented by the bear of the same name. Each player drops a stick into a stream from one side of the bridge then runs to the other side to see whose stick comes out first. Lush’s Pooh Stix Ballistics contain liquorice root and cinnamon sticks so you and your friends can play your own version in the bath! It is a beige Ballistic, with a lovely scent of heady labdanum, made with aloe vera to nourish the skin.

 

Spring 2000 UK Lush Times:

Referring, of course, to Winnie the Pooh. When you’ve been out tramping through the Wild Wood, up hill and down dale, exploring, looking for heffalumps or just at work, here’s an easy way to play a version of that famous game at home. Drop a Pooh Stix in your bath, let it dissolve and it will release cinnamon and liquorice sticklets into your bath. All you have to do is whizz your hand under the surface of the water to make the sticklets rush about in exciting ways and form new equally exciting patterns on the water. Hurrah! As an added bonus there’s Aloe Vera — just great for the skin — rosewood, which is said to be balancing and warming, patchouli to banish lethargy, and heady, spicy pimentoberry that warms the emotions and is said to be an aphrodisiac. So during and/or after your bath you can rush about in exciting ways with a close friend just like the sticklets.

Lush description
Come on in out of the cold and wrap yourself up in this comforting Christmas blanket of a bubble bar. Break the generously-sized pudding into two and crumble under running water. Its festive spice fragrance is like bathing in a hot toddy, perfect for getting you in the Christmas spirit.

Review: The silver glitter coating knocks me out! 🙂 I loved bathing in this fragrant bath. The deep, Emerald green color of the water was amazing, but the smell was as good or better! And it has shimmery glitter for sparkling emerald green. It’s so huge, weighty and a bit bigger in circumfrence than a regular sized bubble bar. It smells Spicy and warm like the drink Hot Toddy. This goes well with other Lush products like Hot Toddy shower gel, and the hot toddy scented Lush “Melting Snowman” bath melt.

Here’s a photo i took, and below is a video i made of this beauty in the bath, you have to see how green it is.  This has the “Hot Toddy’ scent.

Cinders bath bomb

$4.95  See my video of Cinders below

 

Lush Times: Our brand new Cinders Bath Ballistic is the colour of a glowing ember and it crackles like warming wood fire, like the one that Cinderella slept by in the fairy tale. When Mo made this lovely little Ballistic, she added popping candy so it also makes a sound like burning logs. As you lie in the bath listening to your Ballistic fizzing, you’ll be able to hear little crackles too! It was inspired by a bottle of Glug, the Christmas beverage that Mika from Lush in Sweden brought us, so we scented it with cinnamon and orange smell like a warming, yuletime drink. It started life called Glug, but with its colours and sound, Cinders seemed like the perfect name.

Review:  I Love this!  I love the scent.  It’s subtley orange, smokey, spiced with cinnamon.  The pop rocks inside sound like a crackling fireplace.  This was so popular that Lush UKers asked for a Cinders perfume and Lush sold this as a forum member only perfume.

Heres a scent family photo i made.
