Lush X Shrek collab. My unboxing video with opinions is below.
Another Lush collab 😊
Coming soon to a swamp near you … Launching in the UK on the Lush app first on March 22nd and online from March 25th.
Launching in US & Canada on the Lush app on April 9th and online from April 11th.
See you then, ogre-achievers! #LushXShrek
Bought these today. I didnt buy the body spray. It’s Expensive. But since the shower gel is the same scent as the body spray ill see how i like the shower gel. Then If im in love with the shower gel then maybe ill buy the body spray.
Here’s my unboxing video. 😊
Im recording an unboxing video today with my opinions on these.
Fiona shower gel
I love the shower gel. Its my favorite item in the Shrek products group.
It has a cool color effect of being yellow and green, which you vsnt really see in the Lush pictures.
Lush USA is selling them on the app first on March 27.
My order that my friend in England sent to me came today. 😊 Three things were broken and there are two i didnt purchase because they werent available at the time. Ill purchase those 4 or 5 things when Lush USA gets them in a month or so.
Ive used Royalty and Keep It Fluffy shower gel and love both of them. And Tender is the Night is one of my favorite Lush fragrances.
And Tender is the Night LOTION?! Is it me? Im not remembering any Tender is the Night lotion, ever.
I mean there was a couple of years that i didnt buy any lush so it could’ve came out during thst time. But i dont think so. The reason im wondering is because i noticed the last two items for may are ‘Exclusive products’. Well, Tender is the Night lotion is exclusive too if theyve never made it and are only making it for this box.
Also wondering if the bath bomb is like the Lush Haagenbath bomb. I dont think so because they dont mention mint.
Rainbows and Waterfalls soap was made for Easter. Its made with watermelon juice, neroli and violet. Its a fresh but pretty scent.
Its such a pretty soap. Lush has only made 3 or 4 products with a rainbow effect.
Theres nothing not to like about this soap. The scent, the look are so good. I would byy another one, thats why i give it a 5 out of 5 rating.
“Pop this stunning bar in a dish by your sink to sit with pride, exuding hope and positivity with its rainbow of colors and vibrant scent. We’re celebrating the arrival of spring with this limited-edition soap that’s made of fresh watermelon juice to cleanse, cheery neroli and violet leaf absolute for a leafy green floral aroma. Marshmallow root decoction and rice bran create a rich, creamy lather, making it tempting to bring into the shower and use all over your whole body, not just your hands!”
The ad for this bomb is kind of creepy. I didnt know what it a meant so i googled.
Saltburn is a film written and directed by the Oscar-winning film-maker Emerald Fennell, about a young man who causes chaos when he’s invited to stay at a stately home. And ewww ….there is a scene where the charactrr Barry Keoghan watches Jacob Elordi masturbate in the bath, then sneaks in and licks the plughole. And thats what the lush pictures on their site that i attached below mean.
I recorded a 2 minute video of this in the tub before i took a bath.
“Lap it up, Saltbomb’s salty, milky bath water is fit for a splurge. This salt doesn’t burn, it’s a soothing blend of coconut milk powder, mineral-rich coarse sea salt, and shares a fragrance with our year-round moisturizing bubble bar, Milky Bath. Feel like Hollywood royalty with this limited-edition bath bomb that never kills the groove, leaving the bather with silky smooth bath water they’ll want to treasure every last drop of.”
The Lush ads are kind of creepy.
This bath bomb has a nice comforting scent. Its got salt in it. It makes the water milky because of the coconut milk.
Benefits:
– Coconut milk powder makes silky, milky waters
– Coarse sea salt makes things a little salty
– Brazilian orange oil lifts you up
– Proudly packaging-free
How to use:
Pop this little pinch of paradise into your bath to create those silky, milky waters.
I enjoyed taking a bath with it. It doesnt put on a show like other lush bath bombs but its nice for a change.
I havent loved a Lush perfume this much in awhile. Since Tender is the Night and Shade. All i want to do is wear this Alina fragrance constantly and sniff my arm constantly.
The perfumer, who’s name is Alina, talks about how she created this perfume. Ill give a link below. Its honestly fascinating. Wgen i smelled it I got exactly what she was describing. I like the concept. And she brilliantly made this perfume fit the concept.
Alina is a wizard.
There is floral, there is frankincense. I love everything that has frankincense in it. And i love jasmine.
My nose focuses on the jasmine, frankincense, orris and vanilla. With just a hint of pink peppercorn.
So nice.
I’ve mentioned this before in other Lush reviews that if Lush puts orris in a product chances are i will love it.
There is patchouli in here as well. Normally whenever patchouli is around its pretty noticeable. Not so with Alina. It’s very light.
The patchouli, pink peppercorn and clove bud oil combine nicely.
And one of my favorite notes, sandalwood, is in here as well. This perfume has some of my favorite perfumery notes in it.
I bought the solid version of Alina. It seems to have sone decent staying power on my skin. I can still smell it on me a couple of hours after i put a small amount on my wrists and neck. This is a perfume that doesnt change on me as it dries down, and that’s a good thing.
I’m not sure im going to spend some money on a bottle of the Alina spray perfume. Only because i already have a ridiculous amount of lush perfumes.
If i do buy a bottle of Alina I’ll add that to this page. The U.S. gets the perfume for Mother’s Day which is in May.
Alina was created by Lush perfumer of the same name, who was inspired by the generations of women that came before her. Alina created three distinct fragrances, each one representing a different generation born in the last 100 years, before blending them together to create a multi-layered and timeless scent. She named the fragrance Alina – a name given to her by her grandmother.
You’ll be greeted with a sweet and fresh first impression, thanks to Alina’s bergamot, pink pepper and clove bud oil, along with warm amber and vanilla. Then comes a more floral, sweet, and powdery centre with jasmine and orris butter, before finally an undercurrent of frankincense, patchouli, and sandalwood leave a deep and woody lasting impact.
How to use: Spritz this spicy, juicy fragrance all over, and bask in its sweet aroma. A clean and complex scent.
There are only around 500 perfumers in the world, and three of them work at Lush. In this YouTube video, Alina herself talks us through the inspiration for her new fragrance that shares her name.
Lather up in liquid gold with our vegan shower gel that’s filled to the brim with plastic-free glitter and the mouthwatering toffee scent of Honey I Washed The Kids. The cheerful blend of Brazilian orange and bergamot oils make this shimmering wash the sweetest Easter treat there is.
This is good. I still dont like the consistency that Lush changed a few years ago. But i still use it because i live the smell and the gold sparkle.
Made in Canada.
Benefits:
– Brazilian orange oil is uplifting
– Fine sea salt gently exfoliates
– Plastic-free glitter won’t harm waterways
– We’ve made our recyclable bottles thinner to further reduce unnecessary plastic
In my photo below i gathered alk the Honey I Washed the Kids scented Lush products. Since i took this photo there have been about 4-5 more prodycts made in this scent.
Its a beautiful color of green., two or three shades of green.
Lush How to use: “Sweep this seaweed surfer over your body and hair to create rich hydrating suds. Use at room temperature, cool in the fridge, or even in the freezer for the ultimate oceanic shower!”
Its so cute. I love turtles.
Some people use the shower jellies whole in the shower like soap. Some cut them in large pieces and use one of the pieces in the shower like a soap. And some cut a larger piece and chop that up into tiny pieces, then put so the pieces in a plastic seive, then hold the seive under the tub faucet and when the water stream hits it it will make foam in the tub. And the foam will smell good and it wont color the water.
Some have even come up with a way to put the whole thing in a blender with othrr liquids and blend it until it becomes somewhat like the consistency of shower gel.
Lush description:
“Snap up this turtle-shaped jiggly jelly, and lather up in citrusy suds of orange flower absolute while riding waves of skin-softening seaweed that’ll refresh you like a dip in the sea.
Our dried kelp and bladderwrack seaweed is hand-harvested from the coast of Ireland, and helps to draw moisture into the skin, keeping you fresh and hydrated.”
Easter Turtle is a..fresh, clean scent with a touch of floral, earthiness, andvspice. Seaweed, Myrrh, Orange Flower, and Cinnamon leaf oil. I dont smell any of these as notes, it just blends together to form the scent.
Its the same scent as Apple Crumble bubble bar, and I can resist everything but Temptation shower gel.
I changed this from a 5 to a 4. Only because its not one i would stock up on.
This is for Easter 2024
Its fragrance is made with lime, benzoin and coconut milk.
No glitter.
Its colors are blue and pink, which combine to make a great color.
The coconut in this makes the water milky and its softening.
I’d give it a 4 out of 5 rating. Mostly because i love the end result in the water, and the comforting scent.
Lush description: “Relax under a blanket of slow-frothing foam that bubbles in streams of pink and blue, settling into a lavender sunset. Bath water turns silky soft as coconut milk powder and corn starch dissolve, while the creamy, comforting aroma of sweet benzoin resinoid and lime oil fill the air for a truly luxurious bedtime bath.”
Demon in the Dark scent is a mint apple clove scented shower gel. Spicy apples. What a wonderful thing.
The shower gel was made years after the soap was made. The soap was a regular year round store product for many years, thenlush discontinued it to make room for new soaps. The shower gel was an exclusive Lush product only available for one day in the UK on line retail site. And the UK LushKitchen once included the shower gel in our subscription box.
LT 2006 Description: Demon in the Dark is made with fresh, organic apple juice and an infusion of mint. This makes it stimulating for the skin and for your nose; just wait until you smell this one! Give it a big sniff and the dark green Demon gets straight up your nose and gives your head a blast of fresh, minty scent. It’s a devil of a good cleanser, with warming clove bud oil, revitalising peppermint and astringent apple. Wash your hair with Washday Greens, put on a Mask of Magnaminty and scrub up with Demon in the Dark for the Full Minty.
I took a picture of both.
Review: This is a minty and spicy shower gel with apple juice added. It smells more minty than anything, but with a spicy, clove note that goes well with the mint. It’s both cold and hot if that makes sense. It’s minty but not sweet minty and it’s refreshing. I think everyone should try this at least once.
There is a black covering or “rind” that can be peeled off, or you can leave it on. Lushies suggest that you put the bar in the freezer and it will be easier to peel if off.
It’s a nice spearmint soap with a lovely apple note as well.
Here’s a video of my Lush Demon in the Shower haul video .
The sonic death monkey from the April 2024 sub box wasn’t as thin as i’ve had sometimes. it wasn’t thick, it was on the thing side but not very watery like in past batches. It smells nice. sweet orange and coffee.
As you can see above i’ve never had popcorn lipscrub. The scent not what i expected. it’s good, but there is nothing in here that remotely smells like popcorn. 😊
It smells like sweet pineapple and coconut. Thats what my husband and daughter said when i asked them to tell me what they smell. They told me it smells tropical fruit and then i asked ‘does it smell like popcorn?’ and they both said ‘no, not at all.’
So its a bleepin mystery. 😄 Its good. Its just not popcorn-y.
The French Kiss is the same nice fragrance as i remember it, though not as strong. I wish it were stronger. As far as the looks….
Ive had maybe 10 French Kiss bubble bars in the last twenty years and lush has had 3 different designs of this bubble bar. 3 different looks. All of them prettier or more cool looking than the original. If you go to my French Kiss page from the link above you can see the different looks. Well the French Kiss in the April sub box is not the prettiest one ive had lol. Theres hardly any purple. Its 90% white. And the shape is… interesting. 😄 And the sprig of lavender fell out becaude the only thing left there was the hole where it used to be.
Birth of Venus. Its pretty good. The smell is not weak which is great. The consistency is right. The scent is just an ever so tiny bit different. One or two of the notes of chamomile, myrrh, rose, lavender was less thsn i remember it being. This one in the sub box had a stronger rose note. I mean y’all know i like rose. But it was never this strong in the birth of venus. That said. I enjoy using this one from tbe sub box. Its not so different thst it smells bad. Its ctually pretty darn good. Just more rosebthan the original.
Well, i havent used a Lush shower gel that i absolutely hate in a long time.
I had initially rated this a 1 out of 5, but i decided to give it a break because of the bright yellow color, which we dont see that often in a Lush shower gel. Thus i raised it to a 2 out if 5. Just a reminder that anything below a 3 means i wouldnt recommend.
So yeah, im sorry to anyone who loved this shower gel. I do not like this scent. yuk yuk yuk. Its so incredibly Bitter that i can barely sniff it. BITTER. Theres nothing renotely fruity, nor floral in this shower gel.
I didnt even have to read the ingredients to know that there was Petitgrain in this. As far as i’m concerned if lush puts petitgrain as one of the main ingredients, they better be putting something else thats stronger smelling with it. Which brings me to a question; as some of you know i fell in love with Plum Rain the moment i first opened the lid and smelled it. I really really like Plum Rain. So WHY do i tolerate the Petitgrain thats in Plum Rain but i dont tolerate Classy Diva GlitterX shower gel?
I’m guessing its because plum rain is paired with orange and plum, instead of only grapefruit with classy diva.
I can’t even smell it even one more time much less shower with it again.
And Lush made a body spray to go with this GliiterX shower gel…No comment.
Lush introduced in 2015 their Milky Bar soap with a new lovely design! I took a pic of the new one along side the original style Lush bubble bar of the same name. It has a light, floral fragrance with hints of orange oil.
This soap was made and sold way back in 1993 when Lush was called ‘Cosmetics To Go’. It was one of their best sellers.
It doesnt smell like milk to me, its more of a light floral to my nose, comforting.
soap on the left, original style bubble bar on the right
Lush has had two different designs of the Milky Bar soap throughout the years.
Theyve also made a bubble bar originally called ‘Hot Milk’, which also had a design upgrade and a name change to ‘Milky Bath’, which changed design and name once again to ‘Milky Bar Bubble Bottle’
And lush made a bath bomb called Toby the Cow with the milky bar fragrance, a ‘Salt’ bath bomb, and they made a Christmas bath bomb ‘Jingle Spells.
💕💘💞💗Lush has some yummy looking products coming out for Valentines 2024.
I decided to buy one of each item. It was so expensive! I dont think i can do that every holiday anymore. I cant believe how much more the lush products are here in the U.S. 😱
That posh white chocolate and rose body wash, Yummy looking. if its anything like their posh chocolate body scrub theyve been selling in stores for the past year i will love it!
The Love Burger is the cutest bath gift. I can’t wait to open it, take a bath with it, video it in the tub, and write a review of it for you here.
What Lush Valentines product are you looking forward to.? 😊
I love the old and new scents. Quite a variety for those of us who like florals, and those of us who like like foody/yummy fragrances. Lush has many Whimsical products this Valentines, which i love.
Valentine’s 2024 Bath Bombs
My favorite scent is in the purple potion bottle bath bomb. And my second favorite is the yumny yummy yummy shower gel scent in the love letter bath bomb, and the strawberry heart soap.
Below is a list of links for each Valentine’s 2024 product that ive reviewed so far.
heres i video i made for you describing these products scents and the way the products look in the Tub, how they work, etc to Help with your Voting decisions.
Lush is doing another collab, this time with Spongebob Squarepants. Lush has made six products for this collab on a limited time basis on their US and UK websites.
The Lush monthly Subscription box for July also made two additional Spongebob products exclusive to the sub box, for a total of 9 products.
Spongebob bath bomb is made with pineapple, Buchu oil, orange oil and litsea cubeba. It smells like tropical fruit.
There is also a spongebob soap as well, which has the same scent as the bath bomb.
soap on the right
Spongebob bath bomb is a slow melty type of fizzer, having a blue foam coming out into the water, which mixes with the yellow foam and makes a highlighter yellow-green bath water.
No glitter.
i would rate it a 5 out of 5 for looks, scent and its performance in the tub, and the end color.
Ive recorded a youtube video above on my lushalot youtube channel describing these products scent, how to use, etc for you because ive used them many times and i also have video demos of a couple .
