Lush Kitchen July 2024 Sub Box – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collab-Unboxing Video

In addition to this special Kitchen sub box There is a general TMNT collab with different products here.

Here’s my unboxing video

Here are all five of the products laid flat.

The shower bomb is fun but couldve been half the size. But then again some folks like that its bigger for the cost.

In my photo below im showing that the green canister shower bomb is made with the Lush ‘Junk’ fragrance, which is also shared by the lush halloween ‘bat art’ (a play on the term bath art) bath bomb.

Thos fun bar has the same scent of the lush ‘Rainbow’ fun bar. Lime, orange, lavender.

The shredder soap is the Demon in the Dark scent. Icy spicy apple.

The Go Green scent is a classic green lush fragrance from way back in the day. People qere so bummed when lush discontinued this. I love it!

The menu went live a couple weeks ago.

Bunny Moon

4 out of 5 rating

I changed this from a 5 to a 4. Only because its not one i would stock up on.

This is for Easter 2024

Its fragrance is made with lime, benzoin and coconut milk.

No glitter.

Its colors are blue and pink, which combine to make a great color.

The coconut in this makes the water milky and its softening.

I’d give it a 4 out of 5 rating. Mostly because i love the end result in the water, and the comforting scent.

Lush description: “Relax under a blanket of slow-frothing foam that bubbles in streams of pink and blue, settling into a lavender sunset. Bath water turns silky soft as coconut milk powder and corn starch dissolve, while the creamy, comforting aroma of sweet benzoin resinoid and lime oil fill the air for a truly luxurious bedtime bath.”

My demo, description, rating video

Beauty Sleep

5 out of 5 rating.

See my video below where i apply it and review it.

Mark Constantine, owner of Lush Uk wanted to have a little fun so he decided to work with Helen Ambrosen on a new face and body mask.

They made it by adding a teaspoon of their ‘Gorgeous’ moisturizer and then they added the ingredients to ‘Sleepy’, Lavender, Yang ylang and Tonka.

when they finalized the product he announced that they will let us have a crack at naming the product. So people submitted they’re names and a handful of people chose ‘Beauty Sleep’ and this is the name that won.

it’s a perfect name. the mask smells amazing! if you know what the gorgeous moisturizer smells like you can imagine that plus sleepy.

instructions recommend slathering it on your face and your arms, neck, chest, back, stomach and then let it stay on your skin for 10-20 minutes while you’re in the tub or in the shower. Then after that time just rinse it off.

it’s got ground aduki beans for exfoliating and it’s LOADED with many moisturizing ingredients.

it’s a beautiful pinkish lavender color.

“Aluxurious clay face mask, which includes a spoonful of our most decadent moisturiser, Gorgeous, for a boost of hydration. The perfect step in your evening skincare routine, to help you #getyourbeautysleep.

“The combination of lavender and neroli is even more soothing than I anticipated. I noticed a significant improvement in my stress level within minutes. Skin feels soft and smooth afterwards. – bethanyjoyhall

“From its lavender and neroli scent that calms the mind…to its freshly ground Aduki beans, fresh coconut, honey, kaolin, and talc which calm and soothe the skin-this face mask is a 10/10 for me! It left my skin feeling calm, moisturized, and toned all at once.” – LaredoLushies

For a limited time, enjoy a deluxe sample of our Gorgeous moisturiser with every purchase of Beauty Sleep face mask*

As part of this purchase, all customers will receive an email with exclusive access to our special mindfulness meditation led by Mindfulness practitioner, Rose Eskafi, free of charge, to calm the mind and help you soon drift off to sleep.

*While stocks last. Sample size is 7g.

How to use
Run a warm bath, put on some relaxing music and apply this beautiful face mask to clean skin. Sit back and relax. Inhale the neroli and let the valerian and lemon verbena get to work. Once you’re feeling relaxed and ready for bed, rinse away with warm water.

Lo and Behold when those of us who bought the Lush Kitchen subscription box from Lush Uk opened up our June boxes we found a surprise: a container of Beauty Sleep face and body mask. Yay!

List of ingredients

As far as Lush masks go i really like this one. it made my skin feel cleansed and moisturized and it smelled gorgeous. Using it before bed was a good idea since the ingredients in ‘Sleepy’ (twilight) are conducive to sleep.

Fly Me To The Moon

5 out of 5 rating. See my tub demo video below to see it in action!

I’m so intrigued by these new Lush Christmas bath bombs, in order as they are in my photo above, called Amazeballs.), ‘Snow Fairy‘ (pink), ‘Don’t Let the Bells End’ (yellow), ‘Holly Golightly‘ (green), and Fly Me To the Moon’ (platinum ufo).

It was hard to decide which one i wanted to use (and demo) first. I chose Fly Me To the Moon….since i live in the same state as Roswell, New Mexico after all. 😉 When you take the top off its got purple bubble bar/bomb powder mixture inside.its scent is similar to ‘Nevermind the Ballistics’ from Christmas 2017. Its made with lime, orange and frankincense.

I like the platinum shimmer on the outside of it.

I also like the purple bath bomb/bubble bar combo powder inside that is partcular to Fly Me to the Moon.

You can either sprinkle the powder under running water and it will become frothy or you can put the whole rhing in the tub with the powder inside of it.

Its a slow, foamy fizzer. Once it starts dissolving It turns into something that looks like dessert. Like vanilla blackberry ice cream.

It also has glitter in ghe water.

I like everything about this bomb. The design. The innovation. The colors, and the scent. And the performance.

Video demo

Lush products in this same scent are all below Nevermind the Ballistics, Tunnel of Love soap, Fun For All the Family bubble Spinner, festive friends fun multipurpose bar, can’t remember what the last two are called.

Tunnel of Love soap and Nevermind the Ballistics

Fun for all the Family bubble spinner

Capybara bath bomb

Koinobori

Bam

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

Avocado Co Wash scent family

There are one or two other products that arent in this photo.

All the avocado co wash products made by Lush over the years and currently are listed below in order of the originating product at the top of the list.

Avocado Co Wash hair conditioner

Avocado Co Wash shower gel. This is a thick shower gel.

Avocado Co Wash body lotion

Melusine exclusive, limited edition bath bomb

Avocado Co Wash exclusive uk body spray

Avocado Co Wash naked shower cream

Minamisoma shower oil

I’m also checking to make sure that one of the Lush 2018 ‘bauble melts’ isnt avocado Co Wash scented.

 

Its a very sour lime scent with a nice sweet note in it. It’s quite a big burst of a limey fragrance made with sweet, fruity bergamot oil, fragrant incense-y yet citrussy frankincense (olibanum), and the lemony litsea cubeba herb.

There is the addition of avocado, which is moisturizing and softening for skin and hair.

This is a bubble bar made for Mothers Day.

There is rosemary, nettle, vinegar and lavender flower in the conditioner.

The World’s Smallest Disco

5 out of 5 rating

See my demo tub video below

Above is a photoi took at the annual 2018 Lush Creative Showcase. Lush had balloons made to look like bath bombs, including the Worlds Smallest Disco.

This is a festive bomb for the Holidays. This one takes out all the stops. It’s black first of all, and it has bright pink, green, blue and yellow discs of color that dissolve and form little puddles of bright day glo color against a sparkling pallette of black.

The bomb has a nice citrussy scent of lime and grapefruit.

Its a bit of a clean up, nothing too henious but there is some cleanup involved.

The black and multicolored glitter look like a million tiny mirrors floating through the water. Mesmerizing.

We all like a good party, whether it’s boogieing at a bar, shaking what your mama gave ya in a club or dad dancing at a wedding.For when you want to celebrate but don’t fancy socialising, put on your favourite tunes, forget about throwing shapes and toss this bath bomb into a hot bath instead.

There’ll be no more crying at the discotheque, watch uplifting lime and grapefruit oils dance in the air as the colours swirl and strobe across your bath. Get your tipple on with cognac oil as you get down and hit your own private dancefloor (but please don’t actually dance in the bath).

 

Scrub Scrub Scrub

4 out of 5 rating

Scrub scrub scrub is one of two new scrubs that Lush uk has made for 2018.

As i said in my review video, i like using this scrub scrub scrub more than the new magic crystals scrub.

Its a coarse, black, blackberry scented scrub.

The color of magic crystals scrub is a prettier color but i like using scrub scrub more.

Although this one is drier and thus more challenging to use, it doesnt sting like the magic crystals scrub which is wetter and easier to apply.

I like this smell. Its not quite the Comforter scent.

Its got a vaguely fruity blackberry scent. I like the scent, its comforting.

It has currant in it, like the comforter but it doesnt have the same scent.

For starters, there’s no bergamot nor cypress in it like there is in the comforter.

Also, scrub scrub scrub has pine, rosemary oil, and Buchu oil, which the Comforter doesnt have.

Its got the same size scrubbies that magic crystals has. One is not coarser than the other.

If youre very fair don’t leave the scrub on your skin for very long because the scrub is black.

I would give this scrub a 4 out of 5 rating.

Here’s a video where i show it up close

Star Light, Star Bright

5 out of 5 rating. See my demo video below. 

One of only three or four lush products ever, that are all silver.
This has lime and ginger, so it smells bright. And the silver shimmer in the water is awesome.


 

 

Ingredients: Cocoa Butter, Organic Shea Butter, Laureth 4, Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Perfume, Chinese Ginger Oil, Lavender Oil, Persian Lime Oil,Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Titanium Dioxide, Colour 42090, Snowflake Lustre, Silver Lustre, *Citral, *Citronellol, Geraniol, *Coumarin, *Limonene,*Linalool

 

Description: Catch a falling star and put it in your… bath. We have been working for a long time to make this Christmas bath melt – a shimmering bright star for an extra special bath filled with light and lustre. The shea butter fondant centre inside this bath melt is rich and moisturising, creating a soft and creamy bath. When the star melts, its silvery lustre spreads into the water creating a magical trail of starlight. Refreshing ginger and zesty lime oil inspire positivity and will also give you an extra boost. Close your eyes, make a wish, crush this melt under running water and watch as your bath turns into a turquoise, silvery pool of star light.

 

Here’s a demo video of this 

Lemslip

4 out of 5 rating.

See my sink demo video below 😊Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Glycerine, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Irish Moss Infusion (Chondrus crispus), Fresh Lemon Juice (Citrus limonum), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Coconut Butter (Cocos nucifera), Perfume, Sodium Chloride, Lime Oil (Citrus aurantifolia), EDTA, Tetrasodium Editronate, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides)
*Occurs naturally in essential oils
Size: 7.0 oz $12.60 Lemslip – 3.5 oz $6.30
NOTE: This product may melt and is NOT guaranteed to arrive solid during the summer months!

This one surprised me at how yummy, strong and wonderful this lemony buttercream is. I have dry skin so even though the smell is wonderful it dries my skin a bit more than the others, probably because it’s made for oilier skin. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like the scent.

Lush 2006 description: If you have oily skin with a tendency to go spotty then grab a slice or two of this and start washing all over on a daily basis. Fresh lemon juice is a beautiful cleanser with anti-microbial properties and it has a stimulating effect on the skin too. Irish Moss isn’t what it sounds like; it’s a skin-softening seaweed packed with minerals to get the best out of skin in need of a full service. Softening cocoa and coconut butters make sure that even with all this deep cleansing going on, you’re going to feel smooth and soft as you step out of the shower.

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. Butter Creams are a luxurious blend of 15% soap – enough to get you clean but not make masses of non-essential lather – and 85% natural, skin softening oils and butters, glycerine, plant infusions and essential oils. Use them for summery soft skin.

The yellow ‘bubble brush’ bubble bars in my photo below were made by Lush in the same scent of Lemslip.

Here’s a demo video i made of this buttercream

Mumkin

4.5 out of 5 rating

See my Tub Demo video below

I love the look of this bubble bar.

I’m being picky, thats the only reason i didn’t rate it an 5. I wish it was a tad sweeter. Anything from 4-5 means i would buy nore than one.

Another scent family photo

Lush told me This has the same scent as the Lush Easter soap “Egg Hunt“, and the Lush bath oil ‘Razzle Dazzle‘, and

Lush Times: If you’re wondering what kind of creature a Mumkin is then it’s no use asking us, because we don’t know either! All you need to know is that she’s cute, very friendly and loves to be crumbled under the tap to bring you mountains of fruity bubbles. The Mumkin smells of sweet raspberries and colours the bath water a pretty shade of pink.

Mumkin, mumkin in love, pumkin. The light pink and lavender colored ‘Mumkin in Love’ or ‘Kisskin’ is rare, originally made only in Japan for their White Day. Later Lush Uk made this for one day only.

 

Its a somewhat raspberry-ish scent. Its not sweet. Its one of the cutest bubble bars. It makes beautiful water, as you can see in my tub demo below.

 

Here’s a demo video i made of this cute bubble bar

Here’s a demo video i made using this and my rating of it.

Rainbow Fun

The only thing that could improve rainbows up above the street, is if they were as close to you as your shoes are to your feet.


So watch them smiling over the sky and turn your head to grin, then quickly run to your bathroom and take this Fun bar in.



Make the seven colours into any shape you’d like, then run the water, settle in and take them on a hike.

Over belly button, then heads and shoulders too, a juicy blend with lemon oil will make skin feel brand new.

Cheery lime and grapefruit oils are bursting from your palm, Fair Trade vanilla sweetens and chamomile adds calm.

Key Lime Pie

This is a beautiful green lip balm.  This isn’t a lush lip tint so It doesn’t leave any green color on your lips, it goes on clear.  It’s a thinner consistency like passion fruit but it fels nice on the lips.  The taste is good.  And the smell is even better.  It really does smell like Key Lime Pie. I enjoy this.

Limelight toothy tabs

Here’s a video demo/review i made of these Limelight toothy tabs.

Lush description:  Make an Entrance

All the worlds a stage.  Get ready for your big moment with super citrusy lime oil.

File Oct 19, 5 42 36 PM

 

This has lime, lemon and almond oil.  The shimmery green color is pretty.  While these were pleasant, they’re not my favorite of the 5 new Lush toothy tabs debuting first at Lush Oxford Street store.  As i said in my video it’s not bad, it’s not fabulous, but somewhere in the middle.  I didn’t taste as much lime as i thought i would considering the tastiness of the other toothy tabs i’ve tried. Still it made my mouth feel squeaky clean.

Here’s a video demo i made of Limelight toothy tabs. See my other toothy tab demos: Bling, Oral Pleasure, Tooth Fairy, Miles of Smiles.

Back For Breakfast

4 out of 5 rating

Ingredients: Honey Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Fresh Lemon Juice (Citrus limonum), Fresh Grapefruit Juice (Citrus grandis), Fresh Lime Juice (Citrus limetta), Grapefruit Oil (Citrus grandis), Lime Oil (Citrus aurantifolia), Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Tincture of Benzoin (Styrax benzoin), Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

 this is a nice citrussy smelling shower gel: lime, lemon and grapefruit with just a small touch of sweetness from honey water.

img_7035img_7037
Review: This is light and lemony, it smells just like Lush “Bohemian” soap, not like Slammer. It’s lighter and so lemony and nice, sunshiny and light for morning.

 

Lush Times 2005 description: You’ll be needing Back For Breakfast if you’re a ‘do I really have to get up already?’ sort of a person who doesn’t have a choice in the matter. The lemons, limes, grapefruits and sweet benzoin essential oil wake you gently but firmly, plunking you back in the land of the living ready to do what you have to do. We use fresh organic juices for high strength wakey-wakeyness and add the essential oils – lime to stimulate, lemon to refresh and grapefruit to revive you – for a concentrated boost of alertness. Ooh! Almost forgot!! They are also fabulous cleansers, gentle but firm on the skin too.

Day of the Dead perfume

5 out of 5 ratingLush Uk made these perfumes for forum members only in 2010, give or take a year. It came before ‘Calacas’. This Day of the Dead perfume was one of the first lush products with this lime and neroli scent, and the name changed to ‘Calacas’.

Its citrussy, i smell lime and the Frankincense the most. I love it!
