Nevermind the Ballistics

Furze

Birch soap

Green Man

Guardian of the Forest shower scrub (bath bomb and shower gel review)

This seems like a forest theme. I could be wrong. Not sure how Nevermind the Ballistics enters into this theme. 😊

Birch soap was only gotten by people who attended the 2018 Lush ‘Creative Showcase’ event.

Its exclusive.

Green Man was a regular year long item and hasnt been made since 1999 when it was discontinued. Ive never used it.

It’s rare.

Furze. Lush originally made a bath oil and a perfume called Furze around 2014. The bath oil was only available at the Oxford Street superstore for about a year. I think after that it was available at certain Lush stores in England. Coconut. Limited Edition. The perfume was available everywhere and was discontinued around 2015/2016 i believe.

Discontinued Regular year round store item though I dont believe Lush ever made a solid perfume of this.

Guardian of the Forest scrub has never been made. Only the bath bomb, which was available at all stores, and the shower gel, which was only made one time for one day and only on line.

Scrub=Rare Exclusive

Nevermind the Ballistics. This was a regular year round store item bomb…i think. It may have been a limited edition holiday item. I cant remember, which doesnt happen very often. If i remember ill update. I LOVED this bath bomb.

Regular year round store item or limited edition. Not rare.

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

Lush Kitchen September 2022 Product Voting

👀

Update Aug 7 2022

As you all have requested, Here are the Lush Kitchen products that i rated a 5.
I dont have the names written down in a list because i havent had time.

Ive recorded sink and tub demo videos and have taken photos of all of these products.
And theyre all on my Lushalot.com Blog if you use the search bar in the menu.
.
.
I do have a question; I noticed that there are more products in the actual voting area than are on this picture that i got from their kitchen site.
I hadn’t/haven’t rated the rest that were in the voting area.

I didnt include ALL meltable products, because they wouldnt survive the heat i dont think.

Has Lush said anything about all this that y’all know of?

My Original Blog Post: Lots of folks have asked me what’s going on with this months voting, why so many already made products? 136 products. And honestly I have no idea.

I’m just guessing—maybe Lush has been losing some money from the kitchen during this pandemic so they’re making a play to make more money, or drumming up more interest in the lush kitchen by offering more products at one time? Again, that’s just my guess, i haven’t seen nor heard anything from lush about it. When or If i do hear or see something i’ll let you know.

Here in the image below are the products being offered.

I’ll start to write them down here today in alphabetical order, with links to my reviews and video demos of many of these products.

I may or may not do a video describing all of these. I’m not sure though because it would be long.

I voted yes for these products below. 😊

Lush February 2022 Subscription Box Unboxing!!

Oh My GOD

Cherryish body scrub

Heart of Enlightened Expectation bubble bar

Love Spell massage bar

Rose bubble bar

Sexy Peel soap

The Ex Factor bath bomb

Below are What i voted for.

I would’ve voted for Love Spell too but i still have a couple of those.

My favorite of this bunch is ‘Cherryish’ scrub.

Summer Blues

4 out of 5

A beautiful, fresh floral scent.

This is up for the vote for the September 2021 subscription box. 🤞🏽

This is rare. Lush has never remade this since it was originally sold in 2004. Not even in the previous incarnation of the Lush Kitchen. I pray this gets enough votes. 🙏🏼


This is (was) a lovely powdery, Summer floral bath bomb available in the UK and in some NA gifts. Lots of pretty, tiny blue flower petals in this one. Summer Blues also turns the water a pale blue. Its a fast fizzer type of bomb, and dissolves quickly, not a slow melty foamy bath bomb. This was made and sold before there was such a thing as the foam bath art type of lush bomb.

Lush used to make a liquid bath oil called Dreaming of Summer and this was the precursor to Summer Blues bomb. I love having them together but if you don’t like bits in your bath (and on your skin if you use the bath oil with it.) then you can simply put the bomb in a pop sock or a kitchen seive, as just the smell and water color is worth it. Here is a picture of the Dreaming of Summer bath oil.

Summer Blues’ fresh scent lasts on the skin longer than most Lush scents too. It’s a similar fresh, spring air scent that is in Lush’s “Oxeo Cube” deo and “Tiptoe Thru The Tulips” soap. I don’t usually combine these with anything.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Blue Mallow Flowers, Larkspur Flowers, Cornflower Petals, Rose Absolute, Orange Blossom Absolute (Citrus dulcis), Lemongrass Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Colour 42045.

Lush Times Summer 2004 description: Drop this in the bath and you’ll get a blue pond full of three kinds of blue flower petals, scented with soothing rose, calming and reviving orange blossom, relaxing jasmine and lemongrass to lift your spirits. It’s like buying a ticket and hopping on the magic bus to a warm, summer garden. Float in a warm bath of flowers and you’ll discover that the Summer Blues Bath Ballistic is one of the fastest ways to rid yourself of winter miseries.

Ginger body lotion

Lush ‘Ginger’ body lotion.

Ginger perfume is one of those products that lush started selling when they were called ‘Cosmetics To Go’ in the 90’s. It was VERY popular.

This is a pic of mine in the white pot, but now they’re in black pots.

Up for the vote for the August 2021 Lush Kitchen Subscription Box.
Its made with rose, jasmine, ginger root. It’s a VERY floral scent. And a bitter floral, not a sweet scent.

There are around 12 Lush products that i have had over the years which were made in this same Ginger scent.

I’ve had a love/hate relationship with this scent. I used to like it a lot. But now i don’t. I love rose, i love jasmine and i love ginger root, so i’m not sure why i don’t like it. It’s VERY strong.

Do y’all like this scent? Or not so much?

Lush Kitchen May 2021 Subscription Box

I updated this post with my unboxing video of the Mat 2021 box

This month there seems to be only 6 products to vote from instead of the usual 9. Plus whatever surprise they will add.

Roller bath bomb

Sweetie Pie jelly

Avowash shower gel

Fox in the Flowers bath bomb

Aqua Mirabilis body buttter scrub

Yuzu and Cocoa bubbleroon

Youki Hi

2 out of 5 rating

up for the vote for possible inclusion in the Lush Feb 2021 subscription box.


Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Sea Salt (Sodium Chloride), Perfume, Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum officinale), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), Cypress Oil (Cupressus sempervirens), Palmarossa Oil (Cymbopogan martini), Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Red Golden Glitter (Polyethylene terephthalate, FD&C Yellow No. 5, D&C Red No. 7, FD&C Red No. 4), FD&C Red No. 4

This has scent of Flying Fox shower gel, and Lush ‘Cloak of Invisibity’ bath oil bon bon, ‘Floating Flower’ bath bomb, Lust perfume, with lots of honeysuckle, ylang ylang and not too noticeable jasmine. It’s similar to the Lush ‘Lust’ perfume. I don’t like the scent whatsoever , *raises right hand* I cannot finish a bath with this. I’ve tried it twice just to make sure. I usually try things at least three times, but no can do. It’s apity because visually, it’s strikingly gorgeous. The Youki Hi from the UK especially, are covered (on the outside only) with a bunch of golden glitter, and dark red salt. I don’t like Flying Fox shower gel either, and this ballistic was made to have the same exact scent as flying Fox shower gel.

These are the little flower buds in it.
This is the color of the water.

LT description: Our Chinese New Year celebration Ballistic is named after one of the world’s three most beautiful women ever, a Chinese woman called Youki-Hi, according to Japanese tradition. It as Yuka’s idea; she works for Lush in Japan. It has the gloriously sensual, jasmine flower fragrance of Flying Fox and is regally decorated with gold sparkles and red sea salt – that’s sea salt dyed red not salt from the Red Sea in the colours of Chinese dragons which dance along the street for new year parades. The other two most beautiful women, so legend has it, were Cleopatra and Onono Komachi, a Japanese storyteller. Perhaps one day they will have their own commemorative Bath Ballistics too. (It’s pronounced ‘you-key-hee’ not ‘you-key-high’ except by Mark.)

Queen of Hearts facial soap

4 out of 4 rating

Up for the vote for possible inclusion in the February 2021 Lush Kitchen subscription box


Ingredients:
 100g £2.40Rose Infusion (Rosa centifolia), Vegetable Soap, Glycerine, Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Perfume, Geranium Oil, Rose Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, Cetearyl Alcohol (wax), Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

This is a lovely gentle soap for sensitive skin, older skin or even dry skin. The ingredients are about as close as a bouquet of roses as you can get. The real and fresh rose scent is very nice. Leaves my skin soft and non-irritated.

Summer 2000 Lush Times description: Queen of Hearts is a soft, creamy complexion soap which we make for all of you who should know better than to wash your face with soap but just won’t stop doing it. At least if you’ll use this one then you won’t be drying out your skin too badly because the glycerine, almond oil and cocoa butter we put in it (not to mention lashings of skin-friendly essential oils) will stop you stripping away all your face’s natural oils. We make it with roses so you smell lovely too.

Lush Kitchen January 2021 subscription box voting

These are the nine discontinued products Lush chose for us to vote on. They will pick four, and one exclusive never made before product.

These are the products that won

Here are my photos of these products.

Lush ‘Violet Nights’ liquid bath oil.

This is a former 1993 ‘Cosmetics To Go’ company product, (Lush before they called themselves Lush), which Lush reintroduced back in 2011, and again in the Lush Kitchen in 2014. Cosmetics To Go had four or five different bath oils. Knights in White Chocolate, Saucery, Moody Blues, and one more i can’t remember. I’ll have to look in my cosmetics to go catalogs.

This purple oil turns into a milky white in the water.

This is up for the vote for the Lush Kitchen Jan 2021 subscription box .

It’s made with Violet, sandalwood, vanilla, ylang ylang.

Some folks don’t like it because the smell is not good to them. I would rate this a 4 out of 5.

Lush makes a perfume called ‘V’ that is the same scent.

I have a video demo of its texture and opacity in a glass up close on my lushalot youtube channel and also on my lushalot instagram account if you want to check it out.

Lush ‘Vanilla Fountain’ bath bomb.

Up for the vote for the Lush Kitchen Jan 2021 subscription box.
This was originally created in 2008. And it’s been remade in the former incarnation of the Lush Kitchen 3 or 4 times.
I’d rate it a 3 out of 5

One time Lush Uk made giant vanilla fountains called Vanilla Mountain for purchase on their retail website that was three of four times the size.

Vanilla Fountain is made with the Lush ‘Vanillary’ perfume scent.
Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Vanilla Absolute, Jasmine Absolute, Tonka Absolute, Sandalwood, Gardenia Extract, Colour 45350, Vanilla Pod.

It’s a fast fizzer and not as creamy as you would think. it doesn’t color the water.
It smells sweet and vanillary because of the tonka bean.
Lush has made many products in this scent, you may have used one of them:

Vanilla Mountain bath bomb (xl)
Dear Santa wash card sheet
Heavenilli massage bar
Life’s a Beach showder
Vanillary Brûlée candle
Vanillary perfume
Vanilla Fountain bath bomb
Vanilla Puff dusting powder
Vanillary body spray
Vanilla in the Mist soap

Lush Times Summer 2008: When Mo brings a new Bath Ballistic to a Lush creative team meeting, she gets a bowl full of warm water, drops it in, then hands it around the room for everyone to smell. With the Vanilla Fountain, no-one wanted to let go of the bowl and pass it on. Without doubt, this little Ballistic is going to sell out in minutes. Simon Constantine made the comforting vanilla scent with natural vanilla absolute – the posh stuff made from vanilla pods – with a touch of restful sandalwood and a note of burnt caramel. It was inspired by the extraordinary deserts at Heston Blumental’s amazing restaurant, The Fat Duck at Bray (www.fatduck.co.uk).

Lush ‘Mrs Whippy’ bath bomb.
Up for the vote for the Jan 2021 Lush Kitchen subscription box.

This was made in the late 2000’s for Valentine’s day, only in the Uk.

It’s fruity in a slight berryish way because of the currant, then it’s got fruity buchu oil, and vanilla like tonka bean. It’s a slow melting fizzier that is creamy.

When Mark Constantine flew me to the Uk the first time i walked past a sweet shop and the hand written sign said ‘Mr and Mrs Whippy’ and i was so excited that i took a video of it 😀

I’ve got a tub demo of it on my lushalot youtube channel and also on my lushalot instagram.

Lush description
Lush Times: With her husband off making ice creams, Mrs Whippy needed something to do, didn’t she? Jack Constantine created this one for his wife; he wanted a soothing, creamy bath that would relax her and leave her skin as soft as a vegan alternative to silk.

I’d rate this a 4 out of 5 rating.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Soya Milk Powder, Tapioca Flour, Perfume, Cream of Tartar, Fairtrade Sugar, Cocoa Absolute, Black Currant, Tonka Absolute, Almond Essential Oil, Buchu Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Cocamide DEA, Colour 14700, Colour 17200, Colour 45410

Lush’ bomb.
i would rate this a 4 out of 5 rating.
Originally made in 2002.

Has the Lush “Karma’ fragrance

I have a bath demo on my Lushalot youtube channel. It makes a bright green water.
It’s a fast fizzer, fizzing wildly in the tub releasing its strong karma fragrance.

I liked this colorful Karma scented ballistic. It’s green and yellow because Lush thought it would be good to have a bath bomb in the same colors as the Lush logo was originally. It made a lovely bright yellow-green color in the water.

Ingredients: 180g Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Patchouli Oil, Orange Oil, Lavendin Oil, Pine Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Elemi Oil, Gardenia Extract, Colour 42050.

2002 Lush North America Lush Times description: There are only a few carefully chosen products to which we give the name ‘Lush’. The Lush Bath Bomb is the only one currently available; we named it because it encapsulates Lushness. It is green and yellow like a logo (with a little logo ribbon in case you hadn’t noticed) and it smells of our Karma perfume, which is pretty much what our shops smell like.

Lush ‘The Godmother’ soap.
Originally made in 2008.
It’s made in the Lush Candy Fluff scent, along with melting marshmallow moments bath melt and others in this scent family.

It’s a beautiful rose pink soap with pinkish blue glitter. It’s scent is nice and strong. Kind of a pink but spicy clove scent. Along the lines of Creamy Candy but brighter and a wee bit spicier.

I’d rate it a 4
The Godmother is not exceptionally drying to my hands nor is it moisturizing , but somewhere in the middle. I was surprised at how low lathering this soap was. The Godmother soap is palm oil free, so there is not as much lather as the prevously made Lush soaps which had palm oil in them. The scent stays on my hands for a goodly while. I did notice that the Godmother lather was different. No lather, more creamy.

Lush 2008 description Despite our Ballistics, skincare, haircare and all other wonderful things for our baths showers and bodies, people tend to call Lush “That soap shop”. This is fair, because we do make exceedingly good soaps. We looked into this (technically Pia looked into it and we were all very interested) and found that 68% of people in the UK wash their hands with washing up liquid. Thats just not right. Its not good for your hands. Stop it! Mo, our soap supreme, has made this special soap (scented with our best selling Snow Fairy scent) for keeping by the kitchen sink. Think of it as your fairy godmother for the hands.

@lush ‘Happy Blooming’ shower jelly.
Up for the vote for the Jan 2021 subscription box.

On one of my photos if you swipe left will show you what i think of this jelly. 😂 It’s so good i bought a bunch when they were being sold in the first incarnation of the Lush Kitchen in 2015.

This was made only by Lush UK and was never sold to the public.

It smells like cherries. It’s SO. DAMN. GOOD. I have a youtube video demo of it close up at the sink where i slice it and wash with it.

Some folks think it’s too sickly sweet or fake smelling. While it’s certainly strong it’s not a fake scent to me because it’s loaded with real cherries. And it also contains coconut. I usually don’t like very sweet things from Lush, but in the case of Happy Blooming it seems to be beyond my control because my mouth actually starts watering when I smell it. In my opinion, the jelly and the lotion are stronger in scent moreso than the bath oil melt & the solid fragrance are.

I would rate this a 6 out of 5 rating if i could. 😄

I took a couple of photos of the scent family years ago. The very first product made was the bath melt, in 2011, which has raised cherries on it. The bath melt is huge and you can break four pieces of it.

@lush Karma shower gel.

Up for the vote for the Jan 2021 subscription box

The scent reminds me of hippies from the 60’s and 70’s. Lush used to advertise it that way as well. 😀

I have a close up sink demo of this on my lushalot youtube channel showing how it lathers.

Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate,Perfume, Patchouli Oil, Orange Oil, Lavendin Oil, Pine Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Elemi Oil, Gardenia Extract.

This is a shower gel with the Lush “Karma” scent of orange, patchouli and pine.
Karma shower gel is a much better way to get the Karma scent on your bod than say, the soap. It’s also possible to wash your hair with it or even use it as a bath foam. It’s easier to lather than the Karma soap. It’s thick and gelatenous. A little goes a long way on a shower pouff, vs. the soap gets smaller and disappears much quicker oz for oz. It also makes great bubbles in the tub. The lovely Karma fragrance stays on the skin long too! 😀

I’d rate this a 5 out of 5.

This is another HUGE scent family, having more than 15 products. I’ll add the washcloud (a non edible cotton candy type of product) on my @lushexclusives page with more info 😉

Lush ‘Heavenly Bodies’ buttercream. Up for the vote for the Jan 2021 box.
All pictures here are of the buttercream including the in store desert-like tower with chocolate shavings on it.

Butter Creams
Creamy Cakes of Glycerine Soap made in huge buckets and hand-rolled in petals, chocolate, cocoa butter and other unexpected ‘packaging’, our butter creams look like huge helpings of luxury dessert. At room temperature they start out smooth, soft and slippery, but if you’re the sensation-seeking type you can choose to chill or freeze them to turn them into blocks of invigoratingly refreshing shower soap.

My youtube a video where i demo & review heavenly bodies. 


I’d rate it a 4 out of 5

Ingredients: Water, Glycerine, Rhassoul Mud, Jojoba Oil, Cocoa Butter, Perfume, Tangerine Oil, Sweet Orange Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Cocoa Butter. 
old price 7.0 oz $14.40 Heavenly Bodies – 3.5 oz $7.20

Ohhh, there’s nothing better than smearing your favorite foody combo (orange and chocolate) all over yourself in the bath, and having it be less drying than soap. It’s a firm buttercream. I love the Sonic Death Monkey scent of this Heavenly Bodies buttercream. I do believe this choclate dipped orange scent is my favorite.

Lush description: Want a body like an angel? Got a body like a zombie? Revive your skin with a muddy mixture of chocolate, cocoa butter, refreshing orange juice, anti-microbial Rhassoul mud and stimulating tangerine oils. We scent each chunk of Heavenly Bodies Butter Cream with vanilla absolute, cocoa absolute (yes, you really can get natural chocolate perfume), tangerine and sweet orange so it smells rather like a chocolate orange cheesecake but it does taste like soap. For the best effect smooth it all over the outside of your body. You’ll smell like an angel and your skin will feel as soft as gossamer.

Scent Family: Sonic Death Monkey Shower Gel; Chocolate Whipstick Lip Balm

Lush ‘American Cream’ body lotion. I’ll put my demo video link of it in my profile here.

It’s up for the vote for the Jan 2021 subscription box, along with nine other discontinued products.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Almond Oil, Cocoa Butter, Glycerine, Vanilla Absolute, Clary Sage Oil, Lavender Oil, Benzoin, strawberry, Perfume.

First off-even though American Cream is advertised as having strawberry in it-it doesn’t smell like strawberry.
American Cream is a vanilla based scent which is akin to a vanilla milkshake, which is where the name comes from. also has clary sage, and lavender as its scent components, adding an herbal note. The other American Cream products have strawberry in them…but….American Cream products do not smell like strawberry.  It’s made with strawberry, it’s not strawberry scented.
I like to make that clear, so that people won’t spend their hard earned money on something that they think will be strawberry scented, only to be disappointed when it’s not.

The body lotion is a thinner consistency. It’s nice. I’m kind of jaded because i’ve seen Lush offer this MANY times over the last 15 years. So to me it’s not exclusive. There’s kind of an inside joke amongst old skool Lushies-‘Oh there’s the exclusive American Cream body lotion again.’
It used to be much thicker.
It’s nice, not the best Lush lotion and certainly not the worst. i’d give it a 3 out of 5 rating.

The scent family of products is HUGE. The very first Lush product with this scent is called ‘Shimmy Shimmy’ iridescent massage bar. I show most of the products (not all) in a photo i took that i’ve attached here on this post.

Snowdrop

Initially made in 2008 by Lush UK.

See a video link below.

It’s an all white bomb with a large polished sugar crystal on top. It doesn’t make bath art and it’s a fast fizzier. No matter who reviews this bomb, the consensus is that this smells heavenly. 😊 It’s orange and mint, which is a rare combination for Lush. It’s also slightly sweet. I love the scent.

Here’s a video of it from Comfortinscents on instagram

Ingredients: 2829 Snowdrop £2.95

Large Sugar Crystals, Perfume, Iridescent, Mandarin Oil, Grapefruit Oil, Peppermint Oil, Limonene, *Linalool.

Lush Times Xmas 2008: Astonishingly refreshing, head-clearing beauty! You might be tempted by the bright colours of the other Lush Ballistics, but promise us that you won’t miss out on the new Snowdrops bath. If the big sugar crystals don’t tempt you, and the iridescent sparkles aren’t your bag please take one home ewith you all the same. Drop it in the bath and your life will change for the better. Drop it in the bath and your life will change for the better. take the head clearing, reviving citrus scents of mandarin and grapefruit, then add a genius dash of peppermint and you have the most amazing, life affirming Ballistic ever to sneak up on you and give you the slap in the face that you need (metaphorically speaking of course). Once a Snowdrops bomb has woken you up in the morning, you will need to buy more. But no! These are seasonal specials! Buy a big airtight container and stock up on as many as you can carry – that’s if we haven’t got there first and bought them all.

May 15 2020

I receieved an email from the lLush Uk Kitchen announcing the new batch of Harajuku bubble bars, and Free Shipping. So i bought them. Apparently these are only available to purchase if we have registered for the Lush Kitchen subscription box.

Like ive been doing on the first batch of Harajuku bubble bars-i will create a tub demo video & review each of these for you on my youtube/instagram and here on its own page on my blog.

Lush Hair Marshmallows shampoo

I became familiar with these at the 2018 Lush Creative Showcase.

I have recorded a sink demo for you, it shows me shampooing my hair at the sink with the black one.

I explain each one in detail in my video.

Here is a photo of all four by Daniel_james_campbell on Instagram

Sonic Death Monkey

3 out of 5

This is my picture of my first bottle of Sonic Death Monkey that i took in 2006. Blurry, lol.

The name comes from a record store owner’s band name in the movie called ‘Hi Fidelity’ made in 2000.

The reason i rated this a 3 is because its too thin of a consistency for me. Anytime Lush has remade this in the Lush Kitchen, Retro, etc. Lushies, including myself, complain how thin it is. Its always been watery.

Also, i dont think it smells quite like chocolate. Its very sweet, and sweet with orange, lime, and tangerine.

It doesnt suck, but its not something i would buy if they started selling it in stores again. And im typically an orange freak, i love it so much, but not the case with sonic death monkey.

Here’s a demo and review i made on my youtube channel showing Sonic Death Monkey shower gel.


Ingredients:
 Coffee, Cocoa, Cerassie Infusion, Fresh Lime Juice, Perfume, Hemp Oil, Tangerine Oil, Orange Oil, Vanilla.

Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl Betaine,

These three Lush products in my photo below were made with the same scent.

 

It smells like Lush’ “Whipstick” lip scrub.

Its different than the discontinued chocolate and ginger shower gel “13 Rabbits“. I like 13 rabbits more, its more like real chocolate in scent and consistency than Sonic Death Monkey.

Lush Chocolates 🍫🍩🍪

Lush “Heavenly Bodies” buttercream

 

Lush 2006 Description: There are many chocolate shower gels in the world and most of them, frankly, are horrid. They are nasty, gimmicky, cheap, synthetic things which smell like market stall chocolate Christmas decorations – horrid, as we were saying. For a while we resisted, not wanting to be tarnished by such a tawdry image, then we thought to ourselves, “We can do better than that, much better!” so we did. (Actually Noriko did it.) Oh what gloriously gloopy, sensual stuff Sonic Death Monkey turned out to be. It has seaweed gel make your hair and body feel soft; it’s scented with chocolate orange and tones you up with fresh lime, Caribbean coffee and herbal tea. (It’s named after Barry’s band in High Fidelity.) Cover yourself in chocolate orange and dig that crazy gravy.

Pot O’ Gold shower jelly

3 1/2 out of 5 rating

See my demo video of it below

This beautiful gold jelly is made with orange oil, fresh pineapple juice, Myrrh, and Vanilla.

The jellies arent my favorite Lush product so its rare that a shower jelly is rated a 5. If I REALLY like the scent of a shower jelly then it might go to a 4. And a 3.5 rating that i gave this is still an ‘i would recommend’.

This was a limited edition shower jelly for Easter 2017. And the Lush Kitchen remade it for their April 2021 Subscription Box.

It’s a love it or hate it scent. A lot of Lushies like the look of it but don’t like the scent and a lot of Lushies do love the scent.

To me it smells like a buttery baker pastry cream or something yummy like that. In addition to the bakery scent It has a very slight licorice note.

It’s a beautiful yellow gold color and it also has subtle gold a sparkle.

This has the same scent as the below products

Ingredients list: orange oil, fresh pineapple juice, Myrrh, Vanilla.

Here’s my demo/review video of it 😊

How i’ve used it is to get a tiny piece and chop it up and put it in my plastic seive, then i hold it underneath the water faucet for the tub and it makes a TON of bubbles.

I also cut a round piece off of it and use it as a hand soap at the sink.

I also put a small piece in my shower pouff and it makes a nice lather and doesn’t fall on the shower floor.

The Ex Factor

5 out of 5 rating

The Lush Ex Factor bath bomb was made for Valentine’s on a limited edition basis one year. And they hadn’t made it again since. I voted for it when i saw it was up for the vote again for the Lush February 2022 Subscription box.

Im so glad it won the vote.

The name has two meanings; The showv X Factor, and a voodoo doll of your Ex.

😊

The Ex Factor ath bomb was made with the Lush Butterball bath bomb scent. It’s a buttery, bakery like smell. Sometimes it smells like chocolate to me.

4 out of 5 rating.  See my Tub Demo Video below

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Synthetic Musk, Ylang Ylang Oil, Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Perfume, Colour 42090, Colour 14700, Colour 17200, Colour 45410}

Lush Sweet, vanilla-scented voodoo for spurned lovers. The Ex Factor Ballistic is an antidote to the usual Valentine’s Day sweetness and a celebration of our darker, more cynical side. It has the same vanilla-musk scent as our creamy Butterball, but it turns the water a deep, calming blue. Dip the little fellow in, limb by limb, until he has dissolved. It’s especially fun if you have an appetite for revenge and need some closure.

I love this bath bomb.  Not only is it made to look like a voodoo doll, but it’s made with the soft and creamy butterball bath bomb scent but it’s a beautiful blue color and it’s very original and different than other Lush bath bombs.

This is one of those Lush bath bombs that fizz very fast, with a great asmr noise and it dissolves fast.  Makes the end water a beautiful blue color.

Lush UK made this to celebrate the first Lush Kitchen ordering site in 2016.  Initially this was a hidden product on the Lush UK retail website, available for the first month the Lush Kitchen went online.  The bath bomb was free if you could find it and ad it to your check out basket.  One per order. Since I ordered all the lush kitchen items every week for that month i got four.

Originally it had a beautiful floral scent.  A few weeks later they changed the scent to more of a yummy vanilla scent. I liked both.


I had 12 error 404 bath bombs eventually. Then they stopped making the error 404 bath bombs.  Later the online Lush Kitchen made these for one day only for customers to purchase.

The scent is a beautiful full on floral.

Here’s a video i made of the Error404 in the bath. This video i made of Error 404 explains more and also shows you the ridiculous mermaid water this bath bomb creates in the tub, blue and gold…
