Golden Handshake hand mask treatment

 

£2.95  See my demonstration video below

Lush Description:  Just the job.  Moisturize every nook and cranny with this pampering hot handmask.  It’s just the job for hardworking hands.

Get hands on.  Our hydrating, silky cream is designed with your busy paws in mind.

Feeling all washed up? This pampering, avocado, argan and castor oil hot hand mask is just the job for hardworking hands. Full of fresh cupuacu and murumuru butters to hydrate every nook and cranny and super-soak your paws.

 

To get started, stand your hand mask upright in a bowl which is large enough to fit both of your hands in comfortably. Add enough hot water to cover the product and stir, allowing the treatment to develop and thicken. Plunge your hands into the resulting dreamy, creamy lotion and soak for around 15 minutes (or until the doorbell rings). Alternatively, the melted treatment can be massaged into hands before rinsing off.

This smells good. It has a light perfume. Here’s a video i made to show i use it 🙂

The video will show you what the consistency is like up close.

Make sure not to microwave this. It will get too hot and you may burn yourself if you’re not sure to test the temp with your finger  I heat the water then i pour it into the bowl some at a time, so i can control it more that way.

This worked well for me and made my skin feel and look softer.  The *feel* of the warm, whippy goodness in the bowl is heaven. Put aside some time to do this, it’s not good if you try to rush this.  Just like you’re i the spa getting a treatment.

Candy Floss Showder

A shower scrubbing powder or ‘Showder’ as Lush calls it. It’s a dry shower scrub of calamine powder and sugar.  This one has the Lush Snowfairy or Candyfluff scent. Its made with vanilla but it also has a bright, fruity smell. Very sweet.

The first time I saw this on the shelves at the first Lush superstore at Oxford Street on opening day in 2014. I thought it was the cutest product ever.  I thought it was such a cute design, it looks like a box of laundry soap.  I had to have one.  A kind young woman got it for me and sent it to me here in the U.S.

Even though theyre all empty now, i still display them. 😊

Also, Lush had four other showders.  One not in the picture below was called ‘Dirty Deal’, which was rose colored and turned purple when the water hit it. So. Freakin. Cool.

My favorite showder however was the ‘Washaccino’.  The lemon was great too.   The life’s a Beach was my least favorite, it was the only one of the four that was made with beach sand as the base, too scrathcy, whereas the others have a powdery soft texture. They all lather.   The washaccino is the lather..iest. And It like washing with silk.

Here’s a video i made of using the Candy Floss Showder on my arm at the sink.

Refresher Jelly

See my one minute video of it below
When it’s nice weather for ducks outside, head straight for the shower with this lemon jelly. Inside, a citrus explosion of fresh organic lemon infusion, lemon oil and organic lemon myrtle will blow the blues away. Why not take your jelly straight out of the fridge or freezer and into the bath or shower with you? The rush of cold on your skin will send blood pumping to the surface, increasing circulation and delivering a super-refreshed feeling.

List of ingredients
Fresh Organic Lemon Infusion, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Carrageenan Extract, Perfume, Lemon Oil, Rosewood Oil, Organic Lemon Myrtle Oil

This is not too sweet. It smells like real lemons.

Love and Light

Debuted in April 2015 This smells like orange blossom and neroli, not orange. It’s light and doesn’t leave a film like some thicker hand creams do.
As far as perfumes, if it came down to two, i like Frozen’s scent as a perfume more than love and light, i explain why in this 4 minute video i made of Love and Light hand cream up close.

Intergalactic

See the 3 minute video (below) i made of this stupefying color of water.

Lush description:  Blast off into Funky-This awesome mix will have you hooked on a feeling.  Be the guardian of a galaxy as it explodes in your bath.

5 out of 5 rating.  This is minty smelling, and the dark blue color of the water, and the sparkliness of the water makes my bath look like a galaxy.  A bath bomb can’t get any better than this.

In my below picture is the Lush “Nebula” bath bomb, it is an Intergalactic bath bomb that is twice the size as a regular one. Lush UK for one day only were selling a xxl Sex bomb, an xxl Intergalactic bath bomb, and an xxl Dragon’s Egg bath bomb, XXL Sex Bomb and xxl Rose Jam in UK stores and on the UK retail site. I love when Lush makes those.  They did that many many years ago too one day but with different Lush bath bombs than those I just mentioned. 

This has popping candy, peppermint oil, grapefruit oil, cedarwood oil, and vetivers oil.

Here’s a link to a video i made of the Intergalactic in the water, GORGEOUS shimmer at the very end 🙂

Below is a giant Intergalactic bath bomb which was on display at the 2017 creative showcase event in England. The ‘Nebula’ bath bomb is a XXL Intergalactic bath bomb that is 2x the size of a regular Intergalactic bath bomb. The one in the tub display below at the Creative Showcase was 10x the size of a regular Intergalactic bath bomb.

Cyanide Pill

4 out of 5 rating

See my demo video below.  Initially Cyanide Pill has a fruity creamy, comforting kind of scent, then comes a bitter almond note, almost makes me wrinkle my nose.  Luckily I smell a vague cherryish note too.

There is a silver glitter in the middle of this yellow bath bomb, which disperses into the water and looks pretty and glittery.  Lush North America made a soap in 2015 called “Hands of Friendship’ which shares it’s scent with the Cyanide Pill. Lush also made a bath bomb called ’13 States’ with the same scent. I took a pic of them below. Additionally Lush also made a silver bath oil called “Delight” (I took a pic below) in the same scent.

A picture of the yellow, pink and silver bath bomb foam in the water.

When Lush had a gallery space built to introduce their new Gorilla III range of perfumes from their new “Death and Decay” series, they had a gallery room for each perfume they were introducing, including site and sound to match the perfume.  Cyanide perfume was one of the gallery displays.  However Lush never released the Cyanide perfume, turns out they only used the scent for the gallery display.  We’re told that this new Cyanide pill bath bomb has the scent of that Gorilla III ‘Cyanide’ gallery room.  I’ll have to try another one to make sure but i’m not sure i like the smell of this one. 2015 3.50 gpb / $5.75

Turns out I dont hate it, but i dont love it. It sure is cute though, looking like a cyanide pill.

I took this picture below of the two Pills that Lush has made over the years. 😊

The Lush bath oil in my picture below called ‘Delight‘ has the same scent.

These bath bombs below, including Cyanide Pill, were first introduced in 2014, at the time they were exclusive to the Lush Oxford Street Superstore.

Lush description: Slide into the danger zone
Caution! This intoxicating almond bomb should wear a warning sign. Detonate in water for a mercury silver slick.

Here i show it dissolving to show the silver in the middle.

Ingredients:  popping candy, perfume, silver glimmer lustre, lemon oil, cedar wood oil, rosewood oil, almond essential oil.

Here’s my youtube video of what Cyanide Pill looks like in the tub. 🙂

Dragon’s Temple bath oil bauble has the same scent as Cyanide Pill

The silver Lush bath oil in my picture below called ‘Delight‘ has the same scent as Cyanide Pill.

These products in my photo below; Lush ’13 states’ bath bomb, and Lush ‘hands of friendship’ soap are also in the same scent as Cyanide Pill.

Granny Takes a Dip bubble bar

April 2015 – My Video of this below

Debuting at their Oxford Street store in London, and then coming to UK and US stores a month later, this comes at a time when lush were discontinuing their bath bomb of the same name.

I like the bath bomb more than the bubble bar.  There was a whole show involved with the bath bomb.  An unfurling of psychedelic beauty.  Whereas the bubble bar crumbles into the huge amount of bubbles, which is good, after all it is a bubble bar.  But i like the :show” of the bath bomb a bit more.  Dunno if i’ll buy this one again.  The scent wasn’t as strong as i remember the bath bomb to be.  It is a gorgeous looking bubble bar though.

Lush Description:  This ginger, pepper and lemon-scented bubble bar turns your water psychedelic and puts some colour in your life. Simply crumble underneath the running tap to create grounding, spicy bubbles. Its spicy, citrusy scent will pep you up: lemon oil boosts the mood, while ginger and pepper are warming.

I took t pic below of the Granny bath bomb and the bubble bar together.

Yoga Bomb

5 out of 5 rating.

see my tub demo video below 😊

This is quite lovely in the tub, having many colors like a rainbow, ultimately turning the bath a golden hue.

Lush catalog description:  Take it Slow.Find sanctuary in slow, unfurling layers of deeply relaxing olibanum and ho wood.cassie absolute, olibanum, ho wood oil, sandalwood, shimmer lustre.

3.75 gap / $5.65

Here’s a video i made of the Yoga Bomb in the tub

I love the meditative scent, the rainbow of colors and the golden shimmer in the water. I would buy more than one of these, so i would rate this bath bomb a 5 out of 5 rating.

Yogs Bomb body spray came out a couple of years later, along with other exclusive body sprays.


Dashing Santa

$5.25 See my video of it in the tub below

Lush Description: Make a dash for this moving Santa bath bomb with a cheerful and uplifting scent of satsumas at Christmas. Watch Santa fly about your bath as his golden boots fizz away, releasing toning mandarin oil, bergamot oil and orange flower absolute that help put a spring in your step, too.

Toothy Tabs!  Debuting in Lush’ first “Superstore” at Lush Oxford Street in London.

I was sure i wanted to try to acquire the golden ‘Bling’ toothy tabs first, because they had  Orange and Frankincense, which are two of my favorite things.

Here’s a video of my “Bling” toothy tab experience.  I like the idea of these “Toothy Tabs”, and now that they actually taste good i am more apt to actually use them in place of commercial toothpaste.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lava Lamp

4 out of 5 rating

See my video demo of this close up in the tub below.

Oh man, this smells SO good.  Triple orange, Lush says.  Fresh, but slightly sweet. If i were a fair skinned person i would be prepared for some discoloration, from the purple olive oil discs.  But the little blue cocoa butter buttons are moisturizing enough and to not have to scrub too hard to get it off.

In the pic i took below there is a lava lamp (in the back) but there is also the Lava Lamp Egg for Easter one year..😊

Lush description:  Groovy baby!  Bobbing orbs and a triple whammy of orange takes your senses back in time.

Orange flower absolute, tangerine oil, mandarin orange oil, fair trade cocoa butter.

 

 

Here’s a video i made of the Lava Lamp in the tub, it’s quite cool looking.

 

 

 

Lemon Sherbet Showder

5 out f 5 rating. This is my favorite of the Showders at Oxford Street.

it smells so wonderfully lemony. Not fake lemon but real lemon with just a touch of sweetness. Here’s a video i made of this showder and what it looks like up close

 15 minute Video showing what all four look like in close up detail when you wash with them (below) 🙂

Delight

4 out of 5 rating

See my video demonstration of this bath oil below.

This was gorgeous, silver sparkles being one of the best things i know, however the scent was a bit disappointing.  I will say that it wasn’t ‘flat’ smelling, it was actually nicely layered between the lime, pepper and pine.  It smells natural.  But it’s more of a gender neutral scent.  Not at all a girly fragrance. It makes up for it because at $3.00 that it’s lovely to combine (“cocktail”) it with almost anything else. The only silver glittery product was “Star Light” melt from Christmas past so this ‘Delight” bath oil is welcomed in my tub.

Here’s a video i made of this beautiful bath oil in the tub

.

Dragon’s Temple

Lush ‘Dragon’s Temple’ bath bauble melt has the same scent as Delight bath oil and the other products in my photo above.

Comforter shower cream

4 out of 5 rating

In this photo I am combining some comforter cream as a bath bubble foam, and having a lush razzle dazzle bath oil with it.

Bright pink, this Comforter shower cream has more moisturzing properties than the regular Comforter shower gel. And this more opaque shower cream has sparkles.

Its got a sweet berry kind of scent. Its made with black currants which is a fruit.

A new shower item called Comforter Shower Cream with the same scent as the popular “The Comforter” bubble bar. 

In my photo below i show a cross section of the comforter bubble bar and the Lush massage bar called ‘Cherie Ripe’ with the same scent.

The newer Comforter shower cream is a more moisturizing version, which is seemingly thicker, having sparkle, and more brightly colored pink than the Comforter shower gel.

Before it was a shower cream it was a regular shower gel, which was more translucent and a darker pink-red. I liked both the bright pink sparkly shower cream, and the darker pink shower gel which had no sparkles. Both are in my photo below. Shower cream on the left, shower gel on the right. 😊

Below is another pic of the shower gel

I once had six medium sized bottles of the shower gel.

If you’re a person who doesn’t like the sharp, acidic notes that are in the comforter shower gel or perfume, then you won’t like this shower cream.  If you like the bubble bar’s gentler comforter scent, you may not like the shower cream.  It’s certainly the prettiest, but not my favorite way of getting the comforter scent.  It’s a bit acrid to my nose and not as smooth of a comforter berry scent as i would like. That said, by itself without comparing it to other comforter scented lush products, it’s still a 4 out of 5 rating. 😊

 

 Here are the sizes of The newer Comforter Shower cream that the Uk had in the photo below.

Sacred Lotus

5 out of 5 rating

See my video demo below of this close up in the tub so that you can see the shimmer.

Having Tonka, Jasmine and Neroli, this gorgeous bath bomb epitomizes the “too pretty to use” bath bomb. Looking like a lovely lotus flower,  I was pleasantly surprised at the lovely combination of jasmine floral and lovely orangey neroli, with the creamy, vanillary note of tonka bean.

I have not had any Lush products with the combination of Jasmine, tonka and neroli.  It’s so fragile, that if anyone is having it sent from the UK to the US, it almost always ends up broken.  But that’s the risk we take to get our Lush frenzy quelled.  In this case it was SO worth it.

I find this to be such a gorgeous scent.  It’s one of the stronger scented fragrances.  I normally don’t like alot of jasmine, and i typically don’t like orange blossom.  However, this scent is just gorgeous. I give this bath bomb a 5 out of 5 rating.

 

Here’s a video i made of the Sacred Lotus in the tub
