Hi y’all. Heres my unboxing video where i go through each product describe it and rate it.
As i do every year ill also start listing each product in alohabetical order down below over the next few days and will have pics and reviews of the products along with close up Demo Videos of each.
There are a combination of returning Valentines Lush products and New Valentines products. All of them are limited time.
I’m sorry i havent been making my Monthly kitchen posts beforehand, ive had quite a bit going on lately. However, here is my unboxing video of this months box.
See my 2 minute Tub Demo Video towards the bottom of this page to see what it looks like 😊
This is such a pretty color of pink! Its scent is made primarily with Tonka bean. So its kind of vanilla like. It reminds of the scent of the Lush Pink Fun bar. Its not a strong scent but its not so faint that you cant smell it either.
There is no glitter in this bomb which is nice for a change.
It was one of those rolling around the tub bath bombs which is fun. The activity lasted a goid amount of time which i love.
This bath bomb is so funny looking. Its made with neroli, lime and frankincense: the Lush ‘Calacas’ scent. Calacas is a classic Lush Halloween product scent. Calacas represents the time of year of Dio De Los Muertos/Day of the Dead.
Its a beautiful swirling pink and blue color. Its a slow, foaming type of bath bomb. And it has fine silver sparkle shimmer in it. The end result is a deep purple water. Gorgeous.
This is a fun bath bomb, looking like a Spaceship ufo. Its got a fruity scent made with lemongrass and black currant. Its almost like a derivative of the Lush ‘Space Girl’ bath bomb scent. But UFO has a bit more citrus.
Salt crystals
Its got green salt crystals inside of it. Its got a top on it so you can pour some of the salt in your bath for softening the water, or you can just out the too in for one bath and the yellow saucer part for another bath, or you can out the whole thing in.
Heres a tub demo video that i recorded
It looks like some kind of desert at this ‘starting to foam’ stage. 😊
Initially its a quiet, slow foaming yellow bath bomb, and then the small blue top is a fast, fizzy type of bath bomb.
The end result is a cool, alien/nuclear/UFO green color.
It was a fun bomb. I would buy another one perhaps.
I love that not only do we have a Ufo to bath with this year, we also have an Alien bubble bar this year to bath with. The two together would make a cool ‘bath cocktail’ in my opinion!
Screamo was made with the Happy Blooming scent. It snells cherryish. Its actually made with ylang ylang flower oil and almond essential oil, and the combination of those makes it smell cherryish.
There is also a Screamo bubble bar with the same name as this bath bomb only in bubble bar form. I liked the bubble bar, but i like this bath bomb even more.
Its one of those slow melting bath bombs with great bath art in the tub.
I like the smell and i like the look and i would by one or two more.
It doesnt stain the sides of my tub or anything. I was surprised it didnt because its such a dark blue but it was a breeze to rinse out.
😊Ill start adding product info today and will add info as i get it. First i’ll add links to the returning Christmas products in this list that ive already reviewed in this blog and taken photos of so you can see how they look in use.
Then when these products are available to buy on Lush North America site ill buy them and do a video of the unboxing when they come in, and then ill take photos of each product and create short videos demoing each product.
Got my order! Heres my unboxing video. 😊
Limited Edition Lush Advent calendar. 2 products exclusive to this advent calendar only. 2 Retro limited edition Christmas products only in this advent calendar gift set. I’ll put an asterisk next to the products in the long list below below if its included in the Advent Calendar.

Lush North America, which is now run by mark Constantine, will be getting its own Lush Kitchen for those of us who live in the North America; United States and Canada.
The first North America Kitchen menu will be the Halloween time products!
My reviews, my photos, and in some cases video demo are via the product links below.
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.
As i do every year, i’ll buy the products below and add pics and demo videos, reviews as soon as i get them and use them. 😊
Lush remade two favorites from last Mother’s day 2021; Atom Heart Mother, and Rose Gold. They have the same look and same name, and i’m assuming the same scent, but you never know sometimes Lush likes to trick us. lol
There’s a familiar looking bath bomb that looks exactly like the bubble bar of the same name and scent as last year, only this year it’s a bath bomb not a bubble bar. It’s ‘Jasmine’ bath bomb. I think i have one Jasmine bubble bar still from last year so it would be nice to have a bath with the bath bomb AND the bubble bar. 👏🏼
What are you most excited about? Is there anything you don’t like?
I’m wary of the Wonder Mum eye pad. I hope it’s not like the lip mask Lush made for Valentine’s day that did not work.
The Yummy Custard body wash sounds good to me. And i can’t wait to see what the soap smells like!
I’m hopeful about the shower gel. The products that Lush makes with Mimosa in them, like Rub Rub Rub scrub or Sakura bath bomb, are nice, but maybe this is a different Mimosa scent than those.
Enjoy the sights and scents of a summer’s day, from dawn to dusk and into the glorious warm night, in your bathtub. I assume it’s the same appley So White or Once Upon a Time scent as last year’s, but we shall see.

This is a lip mask. A lip mask is a new (ish) way for hydrating your lips. Just like sheet masks hydrate your face. I’ve been using lip masks from various different K Beauty brands for a couple of years and use them pretty regularly on my self care days.
“Softer, smoother lips are a must whether it’s Valentine’s Day or not, because who doesn’t want kissable lips all the time? Hot Lips is made with loads of glycerin so it’s mega hydrating, while natural ground bamboo stem extract delivers a super-fine polish to scrub away any unwanted dry bits. Plus, it tastes like sweet cherries. But don’t take our word for it; ask a willing friend to try it out.
And this is their instructions for use on the uk lush online purchase product website.
“Designed for one-time use, simply pop the mask over your lips and let the ingredients to get to work for a few minutes. Once you’re done, buff the product across your lips until you feel the bamboo. Then, lick your lips or rinse away any residue.”
The scent of this lip mask is so good. It smells like another Valentines product from two years ago called ‘Kiss Me Quick’. It’s what i would call a lipstick mixed with cherry. I love the smell.
So on to how it works. So i unpacked it from its little envelope.
It feels nice. I noticed it doesn’t have any liquid, or gel, nor any kind of serum on it or in it.
I thought that was different for a lip mask. The ones i’ve tried weren’t dry like this. At the very least it shoulve been damp. So it wouldn’t stick to my lips whatsoever. Lush’s instructions say to ‘put it on your lips for a few minutes’ and let it moisturize or hydrate yoyr lips.
So since it didnt dtay on i tried just holding it in place with my hand. I even tried it lying down so it would stay on my lips.
Nothing happens. Literally nothing. My lips were dry just like they were before i put the mask on.
There wasnt even any product on my lips. There wasnt even any residue! How is this even possible?
I tried wetting it a little bit. Nope. No change. Still didnt stick to my lips.
Im so confused as to how this works.
Hmm. There was what looked like liquid or color that seeped into the envelope that it was in. Maybe thats the issue? Dunno.
It sure is cool looking in the sun!
I dont know its possible im just being dumb but i didnt really get it. 🤷🏽♀️Id rate it a 2 out of 5 rating.
Heres my Demo video i nade for you showing how it looks and feels close up.
