Flower’s Barrow bath oil

5 out of 5 rating.  See my demo and review Video below

Another flower petaled beauty from Lush Oxford Street.  The smell of this one is HEAVENLY.  And the Heavenly scent stays on my skin for a good long time.  It smells just like a fresh meadow of flowers.  Just as an English Flower’s Barrow would smell.   This Flower’s Barrow bath oil was made with Lush’ Gorilla perfume of the same name.  Lush has also made a shampoo in the recent past called “Blousey” in this same scent.

Here’s a video i made of this Flower’s Barrow bath oil in the tub.

The Experimenter

4 out of 5 rating

It’s absolutely beautiful. I’m not a fan of a lot of vetivert. That’s the only reason i didn’t rate it a 5.

Earthy scent, Smoky. Many colors in the tub! 3.75 gbp / $5.68

Tonka, and Vetivert which blend together when put in the bath, creating a smoky scent.
I smell sandalwood, but i’m not positive there’s any in here.  There’s a smokey note in here.    I like it, because it’s unexpected.  And Dusky Purple-Grey water. With silver sparkles.  Why not? 😊

Also at this video link below see my video of The original Experimenter in the tub, what a show this thing puts on.

Unfortunately i accidentally deleted the video 🙁

I was so sad that i deleted my original youtube video of this bath bomb, it was very popular but more importantly it showed the dark grey sparkly water, which was unexpected considering how colorful it is on the outside. Some people didn’t like the gray water. I thought it looked really cool!

I’m curious to see if the new one smells the same as the original. It smelled VERY smokey, with an undertone of vanilla.

Here’s a giant one (below) that they had on display in 2014 on opening day at their first Lush Oxford Street’ superstore Creative Showcase.

This bath bomb makes great bath art with almost every color of the rainbow represented!

Here’s the video i made of the newer one with regular green water. Lush makes many bath products which make enerald grern water

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

Oil on Troubled Waters

5 out of 5 rating

I have a short video below of this bath oil in my tub.

Lush description: Calm the storm as you unwind amongst clouds of mint and oakwood; you can almost smell the weather turning.

Lush made 15 different solid bath oils in 2014 as accompaniments to the new at the time Lush Gorilla perfumes. One of those perfumes was called ‘The smell of weather turning’.

There is mint and oakwood in both the perfume and this ‘Oil On Troubled Water’ bath oil. It does remind one of what it smells like in the air when a storm is coming. Before a storm the air can seem electric with ions. And then theres the petrichor smell.

The mint does remind me of the fresh, clean, cold air when it starts to rain, thunder and lightning.

And the woody note sort of warms up the mint with its woody comforting scent.

But honestly, THAT COLOR.

Stunning. Its a shimmery cobalt blue ball with the scent of a storm and having moisturizing properties. There is also some purple color here and there amongst the blue.

So this shot below is when Oil on Troubled Waters was just starting to melt and spread out in my hot, but not too hot, bath water. Also, it looks like when there is a puddle of rain water on the pavement with some blue oily substance on top. ‘Oil Over Troubled Water’

There are multiple references in the names of the perfume and the bath oil.

The oil on a rain puddle.

The lyrics to 70’s Simon and Garfunkle’s classic hit song ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’.

The smell of weather turning. Oil Over Troubled Waters

One comes before the other. The storm comes before the rain puddle.

I love the outstanding creativity that Lush had when they brought this whole concept together in a 1.5 inch bath oil ball.

Now below you can see the purple come out and the line of irridescent shimmer in the water.

😯😍

The scent of Oil On Troubled Water is medium strong. These little beauties dont make the water overly oily, it’s just the right amount of moisturizing.

Sometimes what i would do is have this bath oil with any green lush bath bomb. Then the result is green bath water with sparkly cobalt blue and purple streaks.

I would rate this a 5 out of 5.

 

 

Here’s a video i made of what this looks like in the tub

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

.

my photo below is the scent family products of the delight bath oil:

hands of friendship soap

13 states bath bomb

cyanide pill bath bomb

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.

Little Dragon reusable bubble bar wand

5 out of 5 rating See my short demo video of this below.

This is made with a Spicy clove and ginger scent. Those of you familiar with Hot Toddy and liked it, would like this.

This wand-type, re-usable bubble bar is an absolutely beautiful orange-red color, with golden shimmer. It leaves the water a red color with golden shimmer in it. The red doesn’t stain the tub in any way. It’s a strong spicy scent. Especially good if you need warming up on a cold night.

Lush description:  Awaken the Dragon – A roaring hot, ginger and cinnamon bubble bath to put a little fire in your belly.

Ingredients: perfume, ginger oil, clove bud oil, cinnamon leaf oil
