Love Apple

5 out of 5 rating here are some photos I’ve taken and a video demo and review I recorded of Love Apple. 

Love Apple was a product that Lush sister store the ‘B Never Too Bust To Be Beautiful’ store in London sold in 2005-2008.

It was part of the ‘Love’ product line sold at B Never. Love is a fruity, lightly spiced scent. More recently Lush has begun to sell the Love perfume again.

In my picture below i arranged some original Love items and one current Love item.

Lush Kitchen Subscription Box – A List of each month’s products

I have here each week and each month from the current March 2025 sub box going back to 2016 at the very bottom of the page.

Kitchen.lush.com

As of Lush 2023, we no longer get to vote for products. Now Lush chooses what to make, and it’s usually a fun theme.

You must be registered for a subscription box either at Lush UK or Lush North America.

The sub box has 4-5 items which would include a couple of retro, discontinued, and exclusive, surprise products.

I make a video each week of the upcoming sub box products BEFORE we get the products, since ive used them all a few times throughout the years. That way people who have never tried these products can have some detailed information and reviews about the products to help them choose a certain box or even when to pause a box that month etc.

Here are links to each months subscription box page which shows the products up for the vote, which ones won, and my photos of that months subscription box and my video unboxing.

Below is the Previous version of the Lush Kitchen, UK only 2015-2018 because there was no such things as a Lush U.S. kitchen sub box at that time. I have been buying them since their very first lush kitchen box, back when we were able to order from the uk even if we lived in the United States.

So ifinally started adding all the monthly boxes with their products that i have reviewed, demo vids and photos onto this lush blog page.

14361181_1758243401097869_3812358245240085301_o

The idea is to have a place to make small batches of exclusive products available fresh.

I actually had the immense pleasure of meeting the lovely folks in this photo, when i was there a month before the Lush Kitchen opened for business.


Our compounders are cooking up a storm, experimenting with giant bath bombs and mixing up creative visions. Get a glimpse of limited edition recipes, and freshly dreamt up innovations.

If you click on the date/links you will be taken to that weeks’ products with my  demo and reviews video of each one.

Kisskin (Mumkin in Love) 

5 out of 5 rating.

See my tub demo video of this bubble bar below.

A cousin of ‘Mumkin’ and ‘Pumkin’ this pastel colored beauty was Made for Japan white day.  I had a bath with these three Lush products because i wanted a pink and green theme.

This is pretty rare as far as Lush products go, in addition to Japan for a limited time this has only been made for one day, in the Uk, online only in the previous incarnation of the Lush Kitchen.


If and when this ever comes out again i’m definitely it rly getting at least one, because it’s so damn CUTE!

I’m so glad I can actually Use mine now since we’re getting a chance to buy new ones! 

Lush said this is the same scent as their ‘Mumkin’ bubble bar: bergamot, lemon and Violet.  Which is the same scent as their ‘Egg Hunt’ soap, which is the same as the ‘Razzle Dazzle’ bath oil and their ‘Cupid’ bath bomb. It’s a violet floral scent, that is only the slightest bit sweet, and has a fruity edge to it. Kind of a berryish type fruity.

See my demo video below 😄 

What a great Lush shower jelly.  

VERY popular with Lushies.

It smells orangey and spicy with clove, cinnamon black pepper, and star anise, while having a stout note and a frankincense note.  I LOVE this jelly.

It’s gold and sparkly.

Here’s a picture i took of mine years ago

lushfrankincenseandbeer2008b

And here’s a newer photo of mine


Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerine, Stout (Beer), Mandarin and Star Anise Infusion (Citrus nobilis, Illicium verum), Propylene Glycol, Mandarin Juice (Citrus reticulata), Carrageenan Extract, Perfume, Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Clove Bud Oil (Eugenia caryophyllus), Black Pepper Oil (Piper nigrum), Cinnamon Leaf Oil (Cinnamomum cassia), Fine Sea Salt (Sodium Chloride), *Citral, *Eugenol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Methylparaben, Golden Sparkles (Polyethylene terephthalate)

Here’s my video of it

Lush Pud

3.5 out of 5 rating

lushpud650

Ingredients: £2.25 200g Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Aloe Vera Extract (Aloe barbadensis), Clove Powder (Eugenia caryophyllus), Lemon Peel Powder (Citrus limonum), Cassie Absolute (Acacia farnesiana), Benzoin Resinoid, (Styrax benzoin), Rose Absolute (Rosa centifolia), Propylene Glycol, Benzyl Benzoate, Perfume, Candy Holly Leaf.

 

Review: I got a fresh one once and it changed my mind about the Pud. True, it leaves a brown ring to clean up. True, it makes the water poo brown. Turn off the lights, light a candle and use this. It smells like spice cake. And it lasts. I bathed my twins in this on Christmas and they smelled like two little spice cake sweeties all weekend. This is grand to combine with Christmas Cracker bubble bar, Orange and Spice soap or with a Jack Froth or Marziban bubble bar. It’s like bathing in Christmas desert.

lushpudcloseup

Lush Times description: Looks like a pudding, smells like a pudding, fizzes like a spicy Bath Ballistic. Fill your bath with warm water and drop in the Ballistic for a fizzing, fragrant, relaxing soak.

 

Notes: The newer ones are much lighter brown. almost tan colored, and they smell more like Snowcake soap then spicy Christmas pudding. I like the original ones way better because it was spicy.

Spice Mountain

4 out of 5 rating

lushspicemountainduck

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Soya Milk (Glycine soja), Sodium Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Perfume, Patchouli Oil (Pogostemon cablin), Lime Oil (Citrus aurantifolia), Benzoin Resinoid (Styrax benzoin), Cinnamon Leaf Oil (Cinnamomum cassia), Orange Oil (Citrus dulcis), Sodium Chloride, Titanium Dioxide, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Colour 18050, Colour 61585,

 

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.

lushspicemountain2

Lush Times 2004 Description: This soap has the colour & scent of mulled wine. Clove bud and cinnamon leaf oils warm and ease stiff muscles on cold mornings; orange oil perks you up and tones your skin. Each Big (40kg!)Soap is decorated with a perfect, Japanese style white mountain to remind you to take this with you if you’re going skiing.

Glögg

5 out of 5 rating

This is a spicy, booz-y fragrance.  It smells like Christmas brandy punch or Norwegian Glogg.  It’s warming, just like a cup of Glogg would be in the wintertime. Glogg is along the same lines but a bit spicier and boozier than the Lush ‘Hot Toddy’ scent.

When i was little i lived in a typical Hispanic neighborhood, but there was a family on our street who were Norwegian. My mom became good friends with them. And for the holidays we would b visit and bring presents and they would make glögg and i remember the first time i had some. WOW. It was strong but in the best way. I’ll never forget drinking Glögg every winter after that. ❤️🍷

For a long time this was one of my favorite shower gels. If i’m not mistaken lush made a buttercream in the early and mid 2000’s called ‘Randy butter’, and if memory serves it was made in the Glögg scent. Randy Butter was a play on the term Brandy Butter.

glogg-vi

Ingredients: Cinnamon Stick and Clove, Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Fresh Organic Orange Juice, Propylene Glycol, Red Wine, Fresh Organic Lemon Juice, Fine Sea Salt, Patchouli Oil, Sweet Orange Oil, Clove Leaf Oil, Lime Oil, Cinnamon Leaf , Benzoin Resinoid, Brandy, *Cinnamal, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 14700, Methylparaben

 In 2014 the Uk’s first or second Kitchen box had a small bottle of Glogg. i was so happy!

Lush Times: Glögg is a Lush interpretation of a Swedish spin on festive mulled wine. It will make your body feel warmer as you inhale the spicy aroma. A bottle of Glogg is a fairly boozy cocktail to liven up Christmas baths and showers. We poured lashings of red wine and brandy in there to stimulate your body while you lather, with cinnamon and clove infusion for spice and fresh fruit juices to get you squeaky clean.

Lush made a Christmas 2025 Fun multipurpose bar called ‘Christmas Lights’. It’s got multiple colors of pieces each color having its own scent. The Dark red sparkly one is Glogg scented.

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

Satsuma

 

Lush description Facebook Sept 2016

‘A citrusy chaos of brightening, Sicilian mandarin and orange flower absolute is being pressed into furiously-fizzy Satsuma bath bombs A-peeling aromas await…’

These Orange bath bombs are only going to be available in a couple of gift sets in stores in Uk and North America, Australia, Germany, etc. However, the online mail order website called lush.co.uk/kitchen sold them for one day only.  When i get mine i’ll add more photos and i’ll do a demo video and add it here as well. 

file-oct-25-10-09-20-am

Lush description: Peel off your clothes and pile into a terrifically tangy bath with a generous squeeze of fresh satsuma juice. Mandarin oil, sourced from the sun-dappled groves of Sicily, rejuvenates your mind and shakes the spirits from any mid-Christmas lethargy. There’s no need to get hung up waiting for your Christmas stocking when you can find the same citrus refreshment in handy, fizzing form right here.

Here’s a demo and review i made of this bath bomb

List of ingredients

29 High Street shower gel

Made in the Lush Kitchen Friday July 28

I love this shower gel.  It’s a nice thick consistency.  It has great throw so you can smell the lovely scent all while you’re showering with it.  It’s lovely scent stays on the skin a bit longer than other lush shower gels.


It’s not particularly moisturizing, and doesn’t have any cocoa butter.  Nor does this shower gel have any glitter.

The 29 High Street was made to have the scent of a Lush store.  So various lush store favorites are represented here, honey i washed the kids, karma, avobath, etc.

To me it smells like a strong blend of sweet orangey and floral notes.

Because of these things, and also because this shower gel is so rare, I would rate this shower gel a 5 out of 5 rating.  I would highly recommend it.  I bought six bottles.

file-sep-25-3-29-10-pm

Here’s a demo and review video i made of this shower gel

here is a scent family portrait I created, with all the products Lush has made with this same fragrance.

the fun bar below was an exclusive item in a Lush kitchen subscription box.

Mrs Whippy bath bomb

4 out of 5 rating

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Soya Milk Powder (Glycine soja), Tapioca Flour, Perfume, Cream of Tartar (Tartaric acid), Fairtrade Sugar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocoa Absolute (Theobroma cacao), Tonka Absolute (Dipteryx odorata), Almond Essential Oil (Prunus dulcis), Buchu Oil (Barosma betulina), Titanium Dioxide, Cocamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Limonene, Colour 14700, Colour 17200, Colour 45410

mrswhippy 017

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.

Here’s a link to a video i made of Mrs Whippy in the tub.

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.

.

Lemon Melt

theres a slice of lemon on the top of the container. Its a sweet lemon scent. Very lemony.  

Here’s a demo video and review i made of the lush Lemon Melt shower jelly.

This is a shower gel lush made from lemon melt that Lush said they made exclusively for the July 2025 Lush monthly subscription box.

Bada Bing Bada Boom

Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerine, Red Wine, Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), Rose Petal (Rosa centifolia) and Lavender (Lavandula hybrida) Infusion, Propylene Glycol, Fresh Rose Petal Infusion (Rosa centifolia), Perfume, Carrageenan Extract, Synthetic Musk, Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum officinale), Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), White Wine Vinegar, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Linalool, *Limonene, Methylparaben. * Occurs naturally in essential oils

Lush.a.Lot’s Review: This was the shower jelly made which smells like the “Sex Bomb” ballistic. It’s a heady floral scented jelly.

Lush Times 2005 description: Bada Bing Bada Boom Shower Jelly is the ultimate in cold showers. Its sensual scents (the same essential oils as Sex Bomb) are blended with red wine and an infusion of rose petals, soothing lavender and stimulating thyme herb. Grab the Bada Bing from the freezer, clean your body with its cool lather and inhale the calming (aphrodisiac) jasmine, ylang ylang and clary sage perfumes. That should work just nicely.

Joy of Jelly is also a Sex Bomb scented jelly that Lush made. They share the same jasmine, rose, ylang ylang, synthetic musk, and clary sage scent. The only difference is Bada Bing has red wine, thyme and lavender in it, Joy of Jelly does not. The originating product, Sex Bomb bath bomb which came first, also does not have the red wine, thyme nor lavender. Just the clary sage, rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, and synthetic musk.

Here’s a demo and review video i made of this jelly

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.
