When i saw this bath bomb i knew this was one of the first Lush things i was going to buy for Mother’s Day.
I love the shape of it and the pink, yellow and blue colors.
This limited-edition Mother’s Day bath bomb entitles you to one long, restful soak, redeemable from the comfort of your own bathtub. Let your mind drift away to somewhere sunny as you sink into sparkling waters with the uplifting citrus scents of lemon myrtle and grapefruit oils. Emerge from your bathtime vacation feeling peaceful and refreshed.
I didnt expect this rainbow 😍
The scent is very citrussy. There is grapefruit, lemon myrtle and a bit of floral from ylang ylang. Its not sweet at all.
Because i havent added three of these products to my blog here, im just going to put them here and then when i make the individual pages for Temple of Truth, Happy Hippy, and Karma Komba. Then ill have just the links to them here and move all of the pictures ive taken and my review text to the individual pages. But for now its sll here on this page. 👍🏼 I do already have Lava Lamp here.
Happy Hippy shower gel in my picture below. However, the sub box folks are making a LOTION of it for the June box. Exclusive. Never made before. 👍🏼
Review: I was upset about Happy For Sad shower gel leaving until I heard Happy Hippy was brought back. HH was a shower gel before Lush was called “Lush”, back when Mark Constantine owned “Costmetic to Go” (CTG). It is a pink grapefruit shower gel. It’s refreshing and grapefruity, It’s not too strong, not too light. Great for a morning “get you going” shower. My husband liked the smell, he said “Hey, it’s not bad”. You know this is a large step for him so it must be pretty good. Three new citrus shower gels this same year came out and not one of them smells the same. Well done Lush.
LT 2006 Description: A long time ago in a land far, far away… actually it was in 29 High Street, Poole Dorset, now Lush’s home, the Lush creative team used to run a company called Cosmetics to Go. One of their best selling products was our pink grapefruit shower gel, Happy Hippy. When CTG’s former customers heard that we’d finally bought back the rights to our old products they started haranguing us with emails, letters and bricks through the window, begging us to make their favourite, joyously refreshing gel again. We did, we tested it ourselves and we decided that it was as brilliant as we remembered. So here it is, use it and step singing from the shower. (That bit about the bricks through the window isn’t true.)
This is a beautiful cone shaped bubblebar with a deep turquoise color. It’s a VERY fragrant bubble bar. When Lush uk made them originally (Lush North America/U.S. didnt make any) the scent filled up my whole house! Its got a incense-y, and woody scent. And it was the deepest blue.
International (UK) website sold the original Blue and then later the White after a request from UK forum members to save cost and make one with no colorants.
Description: Our lovely new BUBBLE BAR has no less than 24 essential oils packed into it for a fragrant, bubbly bath. This blue version is exclusive to Mail Order, so get them while you can!
Lush X Shrek collab. My unboxing video with opinions is below.
Another Lush collab 😊
Coming soon to a swamp near you … Launching in the UK on the Lush app first on March 22nd and online from March 25th.
Launching in US & Canada on the Lush app on April 9th and online from April 11th.
See you then, ogre-achievers! #LushXShrek
Bought these today. I didnt buy the body spray. It’s Expensive. But since the shower gel is the same scent as the body spray ill see how i like the shower gel. Then If im in love with the shower gel then maybe ill buy the body spray.
Here’s my unboxing video. 😊
Im recording an unboxing video today with my opinions on these.
Fiona shower gel
I love the shower gel. Its my favorite item in the Shrek products group.
It has a cool color effect of being yellow and green, which you vsnt really see in the Lush pictures.
Ive used Royalty and Keep It Fluffy shower gel and love both of them. And Tender is the Night is one of my favorite Lush fragrances.
And Tender is the Night LOTION?! Is it me? Im not remembering any Tender is the Night lotion, ever.
I mean there was a couple of years that i didnt buy any lush so it could’ve came out during thst time. But i dont think so. The reason im wondering is because i noticed the last two items for may are ‘Exclusive products’. Well, Tender is the Night lotion is exclusive too if theyve never made it and are only making it for this box.
Also wondering if the bath bomb is like the Lush Haagenbath bomb. I dont think so because they dont mention mint.
Rainbows and Waterfalls soap was made for Easter. Its made with watermelon juice, neroli and violet. Its a fresh but pretty scent.
Its such a pretty soap. Lush has only made 3 or 4 products with a rainbow effect.
Theres nothing not to like about this soap. The scent, the look are so good. I would byy another one, thats why i give it a 5 out of 5 rating.
“Pop this stunning bar in a dish by your sink to sit with pride, exuding hope and positivity with its rainbow of colors and vibrant scent. We’re celebrating the arrival of spring with this limited-edition soap that’s made of fresh watermelon juice to cleanse, cheery neroli and violet leaf absolute for a leafy green floral aroma. Marshmallow root decoction and rice bran create a rich, creamy lather, making it tempting to bring into the shower and use all over your whole body, not just your hands!”
The ad for this bomb is kind of creepy. I didnt know what it a meant so i googled.
Saltburn is a film written and directed by the Oscar-winning film-maker Emerald Fennell, about a young man who causes chaos when he’s invited to stay at a stately home. And ewww ….there is a scene where the charactrr Barry Keoghan watches Jacob Elordi masturbate in the bath, then sneaks in and licks the plughole. And thats what the lush pictures on their site that i attached below mean.
I recorded a 2 minute video of this in the tub before i took a bath.
“Lap it up, Saltbomb’s salty, milky bath water is fit for a splurge. This salt doesn’t burn, it’s a soothing blend of coconut milk powder, mineral-rich coarse sea salt, and shares a fragrance with our year-round moisturizing bubble bar, Milky Bath. Feel like Hollywood royalty with this limited-edition bath bomb that never kills the groove, leaving the bather with silky smooth bath water they’ll want to treasure every last drop of.”
The Lush ads are kind of creepy.
This bath bomb has a nice comforting scent. Its got salt in it. It makes the water milky because of the coconut milk.
Benefits:
– Coconut milk powder makes silky, milky waters
– Coarse sea salt makes things a little salty
– Brazilian orange oil lifts you up
– Proudly packaging-free
How to use:
Pop this little pinch of paradise into your bath to create those silky, milky waters.
I enjoyed taking a bath with it. It doesnt put on a show like other lush bath bombs but its nice for a change.
I havent loved a Lush perfume this much in awhile. Since Tender is the Night and Shade. All i want to do is wear this Alina fragrance constantly and sniff my arm constantly.
The perfumer, who’s name is Alina, talks about how she created this perfume. Ill give a link below. Its honestly fascinating. Wgen i smelled it I got exactly what she was describing. I like the concept. And she brilliantly made this perfume fit the concept.
Alina is a wizard.
There is floral, there is frankincense. I love everything that has frankincense in it. And i love jasmine.
My nose focuses on the jasmine, frankincense, orris and vanilla. With just a hint of pink peppercorn.
So nice.
I’ve mentioned this before in other Lush reviews that if Lush puts orris in a product chances are i will love it.
There is patchouli in here as well. Normally whenever patchouli is around its pretty noticeable. Not so with Alina. It’s very light.
The patchouli, pink peppercorn and clove bud oil combine nicely.
And one of my favorite notes, sandalwood, is in here as well. This perfume has some of my favorite perfumery notes in it.
I bought the solid version of Alina. It seems to have sone decent staying power on my skin. I can still smell it on me a couple of hours after i put a small amount on my wrists and neck. This is a perfume that doesnt change on me as it dries down, and that’s a good thing.
I’m not sure im going to spend some money on a bottle of the Alina spray perfume. Only because i already have a ridiculous amount of lush perfumes.
If i do buy a bottle of Alina I’ll add that to this page. The U.S. gets the perfume for Mother’s Day which is in May.
Alina was created by Lush perfumer of the same name, who was inspired by the generations of women that came before her. Alina created three distinct fragrances, each one representing a different generation born in the last 100 years, before blending them together to create a multi-layered and timeless scent. She named the fragrance Alina – a name given to her by her grandmother.
You’ll be greeted with a sweet and fresh first impression, thanks to Alina’s bergamot, pink pepper and clove bud oil, along with warm amber and vanilla. Then comes a more floral, sweet, and powdery centre with jasmine and orris butter, before finally an undercurrent of frankincense, patchouli, and sandalwood leave a deep and woody lasting impact.
How to use: Spritz this spicy, juicy fragrance all over, and bask in its sweet aroma. A clean and complex scent.
There are only around 500 perfumers in the world, and three of them work at Lush. In this YouTube video, Alina herself talks us through the inspiration for her new fragrance that shares her name.
Lather up in liquid gold with our vegan shower gel that’s filled to the brim with plastic-free glitter and the mouthwatering toffee scent of Honey I Washed The Kids. The cheerful blend of Brazilian orange and bergamot oils make this shimmering wash the sweetest Easter treat there is.
This is good. I still dont like the consistency that Lush changed a few years ago. But i still use it because i live the smell and the gold sparkle.
Made in Canada.
Benefits:
– Brazilian orange oil is uplifting
– Fine sea salt gently exfoliates
– Plastic-free glitter won’t harm waterways
– We’ve made our recyclable bottles thinner to further reduce unnecessary plastic
In my photo below i gathered alk the Honey I Washed the Kids scented Lush products. Since i took this photo there have been about 4-5 more prodycts made in this scent.
Its a beautiful color of green., two or three shades of green.
Lush How to use: “Sweep this seaweed surfer over your body and hair to create rich hydrating suds. Use at room temperature, cool in the fridge, or even in the freezer for the ultimate oceanic shower!”
Its so cute. I love turtles.
Some people use the shower jellies whole in the shower like soap. Some cut them in large pieces and use one of the pieces in the shower like a soap. And some cut a larger piece and chop that up into tiny pieces, then put so the pieces in a plastic seive, then hold the seive under the tub faucet and when the water stream hits it it will make foam in the tub. And the foam will smell good and it wont color the water.
Some have even come up with a way to put the whole thing in a blender with othrr liquids and blend it until it becomes somewhat like the consistency of shower gel.
Lush description:
“Snap up this turtle-shaped jiggly jelly, and lather up in citrusy suds of orange flower absolute while riding waves of skin-softening seaweed that’ll refresh you like a dip in the sea.
Our dried kelp and bladderwrack seaweed is hand-harvested from the coast of Ireland, and helps to draw moisture into the skin, keeping you fresh and hydrated.”
Easter Turtle is a..fresh, clean scent with a touch of floral, earthiness, andvspice. Seaweed, Myrrh, Orange Flower, and Cinnamon leaf oil. I dont smell any of these as notes, it just blends together to form the scent.
Its the same scent as Apple Crumble bubble bar, and I can resist everything but Temptation shower gel.
Lush created Sticky Dates shower gel a couple of years ago during the holidays. It became so popular that Lush made other kinds of products with the sticky dates fragrance/ingredients.
For Easter 2024 Lush has added a body lotion, a body spray fragrance, and a sugar scrub.
😊 In my ten minute video below i review, demo, rate, describe each of these products.
Shower gel 5 out of 5 rating
The shower gel is my favorite of the bunch and its also one of my top favorite lush shower gels.
Its dark, thick and rich with the scent of sticky toffee pudding. Carob, orange, vanilla, date syrup, sandalwood.
It smells like a brown sugar and toffee desert you would want to eat. Like sticky toffee pudding, which is made with dates too, amongst other good things.
Sticky toffee pudding
Ive never wanted to eat a Lush product more than i do this shower gel. Okay maybe Posh Chocolate or B Never gel too. 😄
Its a nice thick gel.
Sugar scrub 4.5 out of 5
I love the light and dark brown swirls that go through the wholecontainer of sugar scrub. I also enjoy the gold on the top.
I demo this scrub on my arm at the sink in my video above and i show the consistency of it up close.
It smells the most close to the shower gel as far as the rick, sticky toffee scent.
Next in line in terms of ratings
Body lotion 4 out of 5
Its thick but not greasy. Someof you know that alot of lotions are too greasy for me but this is nice and it smells good. Not quite as nice smling as the shower gel but close.
Body spray fragrance 3 out of 5 rating
It smells good when first sprayed, however as it dries it loses much of the richness It initially has like the rich scent of the shower gel. It smells less and less yummy the longer I wear it.
This is just on my skin, your mileage may vary.
In the lush photo below is the sticky dates soap which will available to purchase for Lush Mother’s Day. Can’t wait! 😄
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.”
Wow do these cherry scented bath bomb ‘buns’ smell delicous!Fancy a Bath? Yes please.This looks like a cookieLooks like a pink oreo with purple middle stuff. The burger bubble barSwishing the water with my arm in the dark pink water. I can see all the rose gold glitter moving around.I added the other pink ‘bun’ too. The lettuce soap is made with lettuce and the tomato soap is made with tomato water 😊The beautiful rose gold glitterWhat a gorgeous color
Heres a demo video i made for you all even though its after Valentine’s Day. I just used it tonight 😊
Well, i havent used a Lush shower gel that i absolutely hate in a long time.
I had initially rated this a 1 out of 5, but i decided to give it a break because of the bright yellow color, which we dont see that often in a Lush shower gel. Thus i raised it to a 2 out if 5. Just a reminder that anything below a 3 means i wouldnt recommend.
So yeah, im sorry to anyone who loved this shower gel. I do not like this scent. yuk yuk yuk. Its so incredibly Bitter that i can barely sniff it. BITTER. Theres nothing renotely fruity, nor floral in this shower gel.
I didnt even have to read the ingredients to know that there was Petitgrain in this. As far as i’m concerned if lush puts petitgrain as one of the main ingredients, they better be putting something else thats stronger smelling with it. Which brings me to a question; as some of you know i fell in love with Plum Rain the moment i first opened the lid and smelled it. I really really like Plum Rain. So WHY do i tolerate the Petitgrain thats in Plum Rain but i dont tolerate Classy Diva GlitterX shower gel?
I’m guessing its because plum rain is paired with orange and plum, instead of only grapefruit with classy diva.
I can’t even smell it even one more time much less shower with it again.
And Lush made a body spray to go with this GliiterX shower gel…No comment.
Made with the Lush “Zen” soap scent which is the originating Lush product in this same scent. It smells woody and kind of green. It can smell kind of incense-y but this is not a sweet scent at all. If you like ‘Earthy’ scents you’ll probably like it. If you only like sweet scents, or fruity or light pretty white florals then you might not like the scent.
I was right! Oudhess is the same scent as Goddess, which is also made with Oudh, as i had guessed. I didn’t have anymore Goddess shower gel anymore to check the ingredients, but i found the empty container of the goddess hair moisturizer. 😄 same ingredients on this Goddess hair moisturizer; oudh, jasmine, osmanthus, rose and sandalwood.
Its a remake of Goddess shower gel with a different name. Goddess has Oudh in it too. Its a woody, green, and floral scent.
It looks just as pretty as the original Goddess shower gel. 😍
All of these Lush products in my photo sbove in the Goddess range have the same ingredients and scent. Oudh, Jasmine, Rose, Osmanthus, and Sandalwood.
💕💘💞💗Lush has some yummy looking products coming out for Valentines 2024.
I decided to buy one of each item. It was so expensive! I dont think i can do that every holiday anymore. I cant believe how much more the lush products are here in the U.S. 😱
That posh white chocolate and rose body wash, Yummy looking. if its anything like their posh chocolate body scrub theyve been selling in stores for the past year i will love it!
The Love Burger is the cutest bath gift. I can’t wait to open it, take a bath with it, video it in the tub, and write a review of it for you here.
What Lush Valentines product are you looking forward to.? 😊
I love the old and new scents. Quite a variety for those of us who like florals, and those of us who like like foody/yummy fragrances. Lush has many Whimsical products this Valentines, which i love.
