Lush Kitchen June 2024 Subscription Box product video

Because i havent added three of these products to my blog here, im just going to put them here and then when i make the individual pages for Temple of Truth, Happy Hippy, and Karma Komba. Then ill have just the links to them here and move all of the pictures ive taken and my review text to the individual pages. But for now its sll here on this page. 👍🏼 I do already have Lava Lamp here.

Happy Hippy shower gel in my picture below. However, the sub box folks are making a LOTION of it for the June box. Exclusive. Never made before. 👍🏼

Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Fresh Pink Grapefruit Juice (Citrus grandis), Grapefruit Water (Citrus grandis, Aqua), Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl Betaine, Grapefruit Oil (Citrus grandis), Bergamot Oil (Citrus bergamia), Frankincense Oil (Boswellia carterii), Lactic Acid, Cocamide DEA, *Limonene, Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben. * Occurs naturally in essential oils

Review: I was upset about Happy For Sad shower gel leaving until I heard Happy Hippy was brought back. HH was a shower gel before Lush was called “Lush”, back when Mark Constantine owned “Costmetic to Go” (CTG). It is a pink grapefruit shower gel. It’s refreshing and grapefruity, It’s not too strong, not too light. Great for a morning “get you going” shower. My husband liked the smell, he said “Hey, it’s not bad”. You know this is a large step for him so it must be pretty good. Three new citrus shower gels this same year came out and not one of them smells the same. Well done Lush.

LT 2006 Description: A long time ago in a land far, far away… actually it was in 29 High Street, Poole Dorset, now Lush’s home, the Lush creative team used to run a company called Cosmetics to Go. One of their best selling products was our pink grapefruit shower gel, Happy Hippy. When CTG’s former customers heard that we’d finally bought back the rights to our old products they started haranguing us with emails, letters and bricks through the window, begging us to make their favourite, joyously refreshing gel again. We did, we tested it ourselves and we decided that it was as brilliant as we remembered. So here it is, use it and step singing from the shower. (That bit about the bricks through the window isn’t true.)

This is a beautiful cone shaped bubblebar with a deep turquoise color. It’s a VERY fragrant bubble bar. When Lush uk made them originally (Lush North America/U.S. didnt make any) the scent filled up my whole house! Its got a incense-y, and woody scent. And it was the deepest blue.

International (UK) website sold the original Blue and then later the White after a request from UK forum members to save cost and make one with no colorants.

Description: Our lovely new BUBBLE BAR has no less than 24 essential oils packed into it for a fragrant, bubbly bath. This blue version is exclusive to Mail Order, so get them while you can!

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 Kitchen Subscription box May 2024 – Bridgerton

I’m excited. I like all the items.

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.

3 exclusives. Yay! 😊

Family Before All

Keep It Fluffy

Royalty

Tender is the Night

Lady Danbury (wondering if this is like the ‘Haagenbath‘ bath bomb?)

Rainbows and Waterfalls

5 out of 5

See my very short video of this below.

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!”

Eggs on Legs

5 out of 5 rating

My 1:55 minute tub demo video is below.

Eggs on Legs has multiple components and if you like you can have two baths with it.

The bomb egg piece has multi colored discs throughout.

For my tub demo, as always, i used the whole thing.

Eggs on Legs has the fragrance of Lush The Comforter, a yummy berryish scent.

This bath bomb makes Lots of pretty bath art .

These multiple colors make the end water color a beautiful purple.

This bath bomb has no glitter.

The scent is nice and strong.

Lush New ‘Alina’ perfume

5 out of 5

I’ll just jump right in…..

This new Alina perfume is good.

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.

Ingredients

Organic Alcohol Denat., Perfume, Water (Aqua), Glycerine, *Limonene, Bergamot Oil, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Patchouli Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Olibanum Resinoid, Jasmine Absolute, Pink Pepper Oil, Vetivert Oil, Orris Oil , Vanilla Absolute, *Anise Alcohol, *Benzyl Alcohol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Benzyl Cinnamate, *Cinnamal, *Cinnamyl Alcohol, *Citral, *Citronellol, Coumarin, *Eugenol, Oakmoss Extract, *Farnesol, *Geraniol, *Isoeugenol, *Linalool

Easter Turtle

4 out of 5 rating

Lush made this shower jelly for Easter 2024.

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.”

Ingredients

Glycerine, Bladderwrack Seaweed Infusion, Sugar Kelp Infusion, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, Carrageenan Extract, Myrrh Resinoid, Orange Flower Absolute, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Water (Aqua), Gardenia Extract, *Eugenol, Perfume, Colour 45350, Colour 42090

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.

Sticky Dates products

Lush created Sticky Dates shower gel a couple of years ago during the holidays. It became so popular that Lush made other kinds of products with the sticky dates fragrance/ingredients.

For Easter 2024 Lush has added a body lotion, a body spray fragrance, and a sugar scrub.

😊 In my ten minute video below i review, demo, rate, describe each of these products.

Shower gel 5 out of 5 rating

The shower gel is my favorite of the bunch and its also one of my top favorite lush shower gels.

Its dark, thick and rich with the scent of sticky toffee pudding. Carob, orange, vanilla, date syrup, sandalwood.

It smells like a brown sugar and toffee desert you would want to eat. Like sticky toffee pudding, which is made with dates too, amongst other good things.

Sticky toffee pudding

Ive never wanted to eat a Lush product more than i do this shower gel. Okay maybe Posh Chocolate or B Never gel too. 😄

Its a nice thick gel.

Sugar scrub 4.5 out of 5

I love the light and dark brown swirls that go through the wholecontainer of sugar scrub. I also enjoy the gold on the top.

I demo this scrub on my arm at the sink in my video above and i show the consistency of it up close.

It smells the most close to the shower gel as far as the rick, sticky toffee scent.

Next in line in terms of ratings

Body lotion 4 out of 5

Its thick but not greasy. Someof you know that alot of lotions are too greasy for me but this is nice and it smells good. Not quite as nice smling as the shower gel but close.

Body spray fragrance 3 out of 5 rating

It smells good when first sprayed, however as it dries it loses much of the richness It initially has like the rich scent of the shower gel. It smells less and less yummy the longer I wear it.

This is just on my skin, your mileage may vary.

In the lush photo below is the sticky dates soap which will available to purchase for Lush Mother’s Day. Can’t wait! 😄

Bunny Moon

4 out of 5 rating

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.”

Ingredients

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Coconut Milk Powder (Cocos nucifera), Rice Bran Absolute, Lime Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Carob Resinoid, Cream of Tartar, Titanium Dioxide, Water, Corn Starch, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Dipropylene Glycol, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Propylene Glycol, Tin Oxide, *Limonene, Fragrance, Red 28 Lake, Blue 1, Yellow 5, Red 33, Red 33 Lake, Red 27, Red 28

Demon in the Shower gel

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.

Demon in the Dark soap

LushDemonIDD

Ingredients: Sodium Palm Kernelate, Glycerine, Mint Infusion, Apple Juice, Mint, Spearmint Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Peppermint, Sodium Chloride, EDTA, Tetrasodium Editronate, *Eugenol, *Limonene, Perfume, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Colour 42045.* Occurs naturally in essential oils  

Yes, i once bought six bottles.

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.

GlitterboX Lush ‘Classy Diva’ shower gel

2 out of 5

This was introduced in a 2023 Collab.

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.

Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash

4.5 out of 5 rating

New for Valentine’s 2024, this is a more upscale version of the Lush Posh Chocolate body wash. See my 1 minute, close up sink demo video below.

Who doesnt like Roses & Chocolates for Valentine’s?

I adore the dark/ milk chocolate one so this one with white chocolate and rose had alot to live up to.

First of all it looks elegant: it is softer, and a bit more creamy than its dark brown counterpart.

Its pretty with its three gold covered, red rosebuds and gold leaf flecks on the top.

Its silky smooth to wash with without being too greasy.

It’s easy to use. It doesnt drip because its more solid than that, but at the same time just soft enough.

Its nice to wash with and makes nice, silky lather.

It rinses off easily and leaves skin soft and moisturized, but not too moisturized.

The rose note is present, in a light to medium strong way, nothing too strong or in your face.

Im glad i bought it.

Links for my product reviews are below

💕💘💞💗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.

Spongebob bath bomb

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.

Here is my 3 minute Tub Demo

UFO jelly

UFO is a limited edition jelly that Lush has made June 2023 for a collab with the new Wes Anderson movie ‘Asteroid City’.

it in the shape of a bright green ufo!

It has the scent of Lush ‘Calacas’ (now called ‘Zesty’.

Made with Frankincense, Lime and Neroli. It smells like limes with a slight lemony floral note.

Ice Blue


Ingredients: Sodium Palm Kernelate, Propylene Glycol, Water, Sea Salt, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Perfume, Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Bergamot Oil, Peppermint Oil, Glycerine, EDTA, Tetrasodium Editronate, *Limonene, *Linalool, Hydroxycitronellal, Colour 42045.* Occurs naturally in essential oils

Review: I love this soap. It’s just like freeze shower gel in my opinion and it has the scrubby salt if you need exfoliating. It’s refresing, tingly, great for morning. Though it’s a sweeter mint than say Lush Demon in the Dark, it is a stronger mint than DITD. And I think gals and guys will love this soap.

Lush 2006 Description: Want to feel a tingle all over? Give yourself a rub with our minty, stimulating sea salt body soap.

There was also an Ice Blue shower gel as well.

This is a tad different than the other minty lush soaps and shower gel such as ‘Freeze’, ‘Outback Mate’.

There is no eucalyptus, nor cypress.
