Damp Squid

I Would give this a 5 out of 5 rating because its really cute, it works well without drying my skin, it smells great and the scent lasts.

They created this before they called themselves ‘Lush’, when they were a company called Cosmetics To Go in the 90’s.

It has the scent of ylang ylang flower, patchouli, lemongrass and Ho wood. It smells like an expensive mens cologne or something. I love the scent.

Also, the scent has somestaying power after you use it which i like.. Be advised though this bomb doesnt have any color. it doesnt color the water. its a fast fizzer and dissolves quickly.

in 2023 Lush UK made an exclusive one day only shower jelly using the Damp Squid scent!

I Would give this a high rating because its really cute, it works well without drying my skin, it smells great and the scent lasts.

Its scent is from another product that Lush made before they called themselves Lush, when they were a company called Cosmetics To Go in the 90’s. The product was called ‘Damp Squid’ and it was a bath bomb.

I still have my old pictures of my Damp Squid bath bomb.

Lemon Sherbet Showder

5 out f 5 rating. This is my favorite of the Showders at Oxford Street.

it smells so wonderfully lemony. Not fake lemon but real lemon with just a touch of sweetness. Here’s a video i made of this showder and what it looks like up close

 15 minute Video showing what all four look like in close up detail when you wash with them (below) 🙂

Violet Nights bath oil

4 out of 5 rating for the purple versions i tried below throughout the years.

2.5 out of 5 for This latest version that i bought from lush. It was NOT like the ones i have pictured below. This new one that we bought for the May subscription box is the ugliest color. Its a red/green or brown green color. I put some in a glass for the picture. What happened?! It also has more of a bitter note to it. Maybe i just got a bad bottle or it was a bad batch. It still has the violet notes in it, its just theres an extra note in here that ttpically isn’t.

See my video demo of the Violet nights bath oil below.

Viilet nights is a thin, purple liquid that turns milky white when it hits the water.

Its got a similar scent to Lush’s ‘Tuca Tuca’ perfume. It’s a sweet violet and ylang ylang florals, with some vanilla, vetivert and sandalwood.

I dont particularly like the vetivert in here but im in the minority with that i think.

Violet, sandalwood, vanilla, ylang ylang.

A former ‘Cosmetics To Go’ company product, which Lush introduced back in 2011, and again in the Lush Kitchen in 2014. Lush is making for us once again in Nov 1 2015 in their online Lush Kitchen.

Here is the bottle of Violet Nights from when Lush was called Cosmetics To Go.

In this video below i have a bottle of Violet Nights on my YouTube channel, go forward to 13:40

Sept 1, 2015

I won a trip to Lush Headquarters in Poole, England last year. It was from Mark Constantine, Owner and creator of Lush Cosmetics to thank me for some help i gave the writer of the Lush book (Danger: Cosmetics To Go) some help i gave them for some ctg products. I had a lot of ctg products in my Lush stash.

It was a magical trip, a dream come true.  And I recorded a lot of video for you all.

I’m building this page, organizing all my cosmetics to go product photos that i’ve taken throughout the years.  I will also have scans of the Cosmetics To Go catalogs here. 🙂 I’m building a list of Cosmetics To Go products from their Catalogs, with product photos, background  and ingredients info.

I still have an array of items from Lush founders’ previous company “Cosmetics To Go” (CTG), inwhich i’ve made a video of.  This is the video that won the Lush contest and which led to a Lushie dream come true.  I’ve collected them throughout the years.

Many years ago the owners of Lush were kind of enough to send me all of his original press Cosmetic To Go catalogs, dating from 1993-1996,   still wrapped in their original sealed plastic packages.

The products they made were To Die.  If you think Lush is great you should see these!

In the meantime, enjoy this video below. 🙂

Here is my (signed by the author Mira Manga) copy of the book, available now at Lush stores near you and online at lush.co.uk or lush.com

heres a video I recorded of a vintage catalog
I made a video of this edition today, here it is..

Here are some photos i took of a few pages of my CTG catalog. I have ten catalogs and will taje photos of each page of all 10. Its going to take a while so i thought id uoad these for now. I got a follower who asked if i was going to do this, so this is in response. Enjoy. If yoi have comments go aheadandpost them here and I’ll try my best to answer them. 

This is the Constantine and Weir/Body Shop Banana conditioner and coconut body butter. Lush remade this on March 2025 to celebrate the pre cosmetics to go company. Constantine and Weir became Cosmetics to Go, which later became Lush. constantine and Weir. Made some products, like some of the body butters, for the body shop back then.

The coconut body butter doesnt smell like coconut. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that. Its made with coconut however and it makes this a lushious texture.

well i cant seem to add any more pics on this page so ill add more pages to add more catalog pages and i put a link on the bottom to the next page, just click on the title below
