Even though they both have the same scent-i like the way the bath bomb carries the scent more than the gel. 🤷🏽♀️
For people of Indian descent living in India and across the diaspora, Diwali is one of the most widely celebrated festivals, The name derives from the meaning “row of lights,” serves as a beacon of brightness every year. Diwali is a five-day celebration, commemorating light’s prevail over darkness, is marked with family time, prayer and feasts.
It’s a beautiful opportunity to get together with friends and family and rejoice in the light of one another’s company, while preparing for a fruitful year ahead.
I love the slow way it moves around the tub. The colors are pink and emerald green.
The two colors combine to make a lovely pink purple color with gold shimmer.
The shower gel is a glittery platinum/gold with sparkles.
Its a Jasmine floral with light spicy and sweet notes from the clove, and patchouli. I dont smell the sandalwood unfortunately.
In the bath bomb though the scent is prettier. To my nose anyway YMMV 😊.
The shower gel is very thick. I show just how think in my video below.
I love the scents of these new, limited edition Lush/SuperMarioBros collab products. 😊 Bowser = Hot Toddy scent Mario = Santa shower gel scent Princess Peach = new scent supposedly. I describe them in my video.
My unboxing video
Ill be opening, using, reviewing, video demos for each of these products starting tonight.
2001 Yuletide LT description: One of the best things to turn up on Lush’s doorstep in 2001 was Noriko from our Japanese factory with her boundless enthusiasm for creating new Lush products. She will be absolutely delighted and hugely embarrassed to find that her massive fruity soap, decorated with jellies (which she calls “jerries”) has been named after her. If you like your soap smooth, creamy, and bursting with flowers then for this one with its delicious scents of far eastern ylang ylang and calming lavender all mixed in with rice, organic tofu (soya bean curd), and sake, Japanese wine.
LT 2004 description: This handmade soap has coloured seaweed jellies on top, and the scent of orange, ylang ylang, lavender and rose. We relished the softening feeling on our skin of Noriko’s uniquely Japanese mix: rice, sake, tofu and agar seaweed.
2001 Review: The large truckle of the instore Noriko soap had “jellies” on the top of various colors. This is such a fresh and feminine scent. It reminds me of walking in a garden area of greenery and flowers, right after it rains. Noriko seems to be one of two soaps that lather more than all the other Lush soaps. The other being Milko in my opinion. You have to have this fresh because it’s a delicate scent.
Orange, Lavender, ylang ylang and rose makes this soap smell just like the “Softy” ballistic but more subtle and not rose.
2004 Review: It’s less fresh rain and more floral then the original. Lovely. Again, this needs to be tried fresh because it’s a light rain-like scent, otherwise it won’t smell like anything but soap.
The Big Snow Fairy Roll is new. It’s a 1 kilo version of the Snow Fairy Roll. The ‘regular size’ Snow Fairy Roll is like two regular bubble bars and THIS Big SFR is even more huge.
Its the same size as this Big Comforter in my phoro below.
I’m not positive but i think they do this because In Australia it is Christmas in July. 😊 And the Lush Australia factory makes Christmas products on to sell on their retail website.
Here’s a Haul video i recorded for you today. I hope it helps your Valentine’s purchasing decisions. Ill add my individual written reviews and photos, including tub shots and demo vids of each of these here on this page with links over the next few days.
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.
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.
Minty mint! Sweet mint. Very refreshing on a hot day. And the water turns a gorgeous deep turquoise blue.
Lush times 2003 Description: Perhaps most of us wonder if there’s anything we can do to help bring about world peace. If we’re not world leaders or diplomats or international peace keepers then a good way to start would be to be pleasant to everyone we meet, well behaved on the roads, polite and considerate to our friends and families and kind to complete strangers. Scale it up a bit and we’re there! ‘What’s that got to do with a Bath Ballistic?’ you may ask. It’s like this. The World Piece is made with pine oil from Russia for courage and constancy and peppermint, symbol of friendship and love, from the USA. We have sweetie oil, from an Israeli grapefruit bred to remove sourness, mixed with a secret perfume from the edges of the Arabian Sahara Kenyan cypress oil is said to soothe anger and calm down irritable people who won’t stop talking and start listening. Use them yourselves and send them to people who have a direct influence on ending conflicts. (Just be careful not to label the package ‘Bath Product’ not ‘ballistic’ or ‘bomb’ because that wouldn’t help.
Here’s a demo and review video i made of this bath bomb in the bath
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.
