Witch’s Cauldron

Witch’s Cauldron is a Lush Oxford Street Halloween 2018 exclusive. only 99 were made.

It’s called a fun bar, and it is a ‘FUN’ multi-purpose bar, but it also has three little bath bombs in it.

There is a total of six pieces; three shaped bath bombs and three colored sections of FUN.

It says on the instructions how to use it

So i formed a ‘kind of Cauldron’. lol. And i made little purple bombs or bubbles i’m not sure which 🙂

I put it at the bottom of the tub and i started filling it. When the water went in the cauldron the bath bomb i tucked inside began to bubble and it looked like a little cauldron!

Here’s a 58 second video i recorded

I then gathered it all together and smooshed it together and was able to use the whole thing as a bubble bar. I held it in the tub under the stream of water coming out of the faucet. it made a LOT of bubbles and i still had the entire thing left.

It looks like i hardly used any! The water turned green, then black!

Then i threw the last two tiny bombs into my tub. And my tub looked like a larger version of my little Fun cauldron!

It’s made with the Lush’Lord of Misrule’ scent; vanilla, patchouli & black pepper.

love it!

Nebula

These are called “Nebula’ which are giant Intergalactic bath bombs that are twice the size of a regular Intergalactic bath bomb.

Not to be confused with these giant display bath bombs at the creative showcase event , which fit in this giant display bath!

 

 

Kinky Hot Oil Hair Treatment

See my demo video below
6.50 20g

If you want enviously silky, hydrated curls, stick with us. Made with protective lanolin to strengthen natural curls, this restorative treatment delivers intense moisture without diminishing your bounce and volume. With uplifting ylang ylang and rosewood, its exotic fragrance will take your senses for a whirl too.
Place your treatment into a suitable container (we like to use an empty black pot) and pop the kettle on. We recommend taking this opportunity to prepare a nice cup of tea as well!
Slowly add a small amount of hot water to the solid treatment – and begin to stir gently. Take your time, adding water as needed, allowing the product to thicken slowly until you are left with an empty stick and a rich, creamy treatment (this can take around five minutes, just long enough for you to finish your tea!).
Apply to dry hair and leave for around 20 minutes before shampooing, to allow the ingredients to get to work, hydrating and replenishing your crowning glory.

Here’s a demo video i made showing me using Kinky hot oil hair treatment.

Rose Lollipop

5 out of 5 rating

This is so yummy smelling.  And it tastes nice. Most of all i like the thicker consistency.  I have chronic dry lips (I live in the desert) and i need a little extra moisture.  This does the trick well.  My favorite of the four new lip balms from Lush Oxford Street in London.

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.

Monsieur Gustave

5 out of a 5 rating.  See my tub demo and review video below.

.

 

Monsiuer Gustave, A delightful character in the movie “The Grand Budapest Hotel’.

Monsiuer Gustave bath oil has the popular Lush perfume “Cocktail” scent.  I love the color sooo much.  And the subtle sweet tobacco scent mixes with the rose oil and herb-y lavender, making a fun, bright floral.  The final color of the bath water is a gorgeous fushia purple.  Those of you who remember Lush London boutique called “B Never” will remember the scent of “Cocktail‘ of which Monsiuer Gustave is made from.

 

Lush description:  L’air du panache.  Without question, without fail, and invariably, exceedingly lovely.

Ingredients:  Organic shea butter, fair trade organic cocoa butter, lavender oil, extra virgin coconut oil, perfume, organic jojoba oil, rose absolute, tobacco absolute, purple lustre.

I cutie in half so you can see what it looks like on the inside, but i used the whole thing in the bath for this video.

Tooth Fairy Strawberry tooth powder

see my video demo below

Weight:  35g

Cost:  4.95 gbp / $7.50

Lush description:  Wish and swish.  Turn your toothbrush into a magic wand with sparkles and strawberries.

file-sep-21-1-45-50-pm1

 

Review:  This is a fluoride and checmical free option for cleaning your teeth.  Basically you wet your toothbrush, then stick the bristles in the tooth powder, and then brush as usual.  It tastes like strawberry, and my teeth did feel squeaky clean afterwards. Even though it has sparkles the sparkle doesn’t stick to your teeth.  I’m definitely using this one up.  I have the other new toothy tabs to use before i can get another Toothy Fairy powder.  Video coming very soon.

Ingredients:  calcium carbonate, beetroot powder, sorbitol, snowflake lustre, arrowroot, lauroyl sarcosine, kaolin, sodium bicarbonate, strawberry extract, lemon oil, stevia, xylitol

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.

file-sep-19-4-03-32-pm

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.

Love and Light

See my 4 minute video demo and review below 🙂  7.95 gbp/$12.25 100g or 14.95 gpb/$22.00 250g

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.

Frozen bath bomb

There is also a ‘Frozen’ bubble bar, but they smell nothing alike and they look different.

OMG this Frozen bath bomb what a gorgeous bath bomb!  See my short video clip of it below. This shares its beautiful scent with Lush “Happy Happy Joy Joy” and a couple of other lush products.The scent is grapefruit, neroli, and rose.

The scent is so beautiful that many Lushies asked Lush to make this into perfume, which Lush did available for one day only.

I had a lush solid bath oil called ‘Shark Infested Custard’ which is yellow, after the Frozen bath bomb dissolved in the water. And the look of the yellow amidst all the blue looked so pretty.

When the yellow Lush bath oil began to melt it looked like a painting of yellow and blue in the water. 😍

Here’s Frozen fizzing in my tub.

The blue water that this bomb makes is like NO other blue lush item.  I don’t think Lush has made any other product in this particular shade of blue.

Some more pics i took of another frozen bomb i bought that i used on another day.

Review: The fragrance of this bath bomb surprised me.  I thought because it was called “Frozen” it might be minty.  Instead this is a Gorgeous floral with citrus notes. Rose, Neroli, Grapefruit.

It has the lscent as Lush “Happy Happy Joy Joy” shampoo and the Lush ‘shine so bright” hair styling balm. Frozen bath bomb has silver shimmer in the water which does leave an ever so light sheen on the skin after the bath. The water is an incredible bright sky blue color.

I tried to show the silver sparkle in the sky blue water.

Lush description:  Let it go – This magical blend of uplifting grapefruit, tunisian neroli, rose oil.

Heres a scent family photo i took of lush things in the same scent that i had purchased throughout the years.

Lush also made a bubble bar a couple of years later for Mother’s Day called ‘Your Mother Should Know’ which has the same scent.

Happy Happy Joy Joy was a Lush hair conditioner.

Lush made a spray perfume of frozen and a sid perfume.

See my video of this gorgeous bath bomb below.

Many years later Lush made another product in this same scent family which is a body lotion made for their January 2025 monthly subscription box.

Respect Your Elders

5 out of 5 rating

See my short video below, berries!

I love this soap, it smells like elderberries more than elderflower.  It has a black coating and the interior soap color is a gorgeous purple! This soap is right up my alley.

LushRespectyourelders2

 For Christmas 2016 Lush made three Fun bars. ONE OF THEM CALLED snakes and Ladders had rhe same scent as Lush ‘Respect Your Elders’ soap.

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.

Big Bang

Here’s a link to a youtube video I made of the “Big Bang” bubble bar in the tub.  I like the bright, sweet citrus smell, and the colors of the blue bar itself, and the pink bath melt part in the middle…It’s irresistable to anyone, and everyone.

Lush description:  It started with a bang – Start baths off with a lemon myrtle bang. Lie back and think of the universe.

I took pictures of two different bars. The pink melty part melted on the one in the photos below, but it looks kind of cool.

Ingredients:  Avocado butter, perfume, grapefruit oil, organic lemon myrtle oil, tangerine oil, extra virgin olive oil (bath melt), rice syrup.

Grass bubble bar

4 out of 5 ratingLush Description: Get Twiggy with it.  Have a field day with this verdant bubble bar.  It’s like cloud watching in a meadow.

Ingredients:  perfume, spring green lustre color, Bergamot oil, Neroli oil, sandalwood

Review:  This bubble bar is made from the scent of their now discontinued shower gel named ‘Grass’. People who love grass shower gel would love this bubble bar as the scent is exactly like the shower gel. It’s not quite an earthy green, or an oakmossy green, like ‘Tramp’, but a nice, spring grass scent.   Not only is it pretty, but it makes the water a gorgeous shade of green.

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.
