Golden Egg shower gel

4 out of 5 rating

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.

– Brazilian orange oil is uplifting

– Fine sea salt gently exfoliates

– Plastic-free glitter won’t harm waterways

The World’s Smallest Disco

5 out of 5 rating

See my demo tub video below

Above is a photoi took at the annual 2018 Lush Creative Showcase. Lush had balloons made to look like bath bombs, including the Worlds Smallest Disco.

This is a festive bomb for the Holidays. This one takes out all the stops. It’s black first of all, and it has bright pink, green, blue and yellow discs of color that dissolve and form little puddles of bright day glo color against a sparkling pallette of black.

The bomb has a nice citrussy scent of lime and grapefruit.

Its a bit of a clean up, nothing too henious but there is some cleanup involved.

The black and multicolored glitter look like a million tiny mirrors floating through the water. Mesmerizing.

We all like a good party, whether it’s boogieing at a bar, shaking what your mama gave ya in a club or dad dancing at a wedding.For when you want to celebrate but don’t fancy socialising, put on your favourite tunes, forget about throwing shapes and toss this bath bomb into a hot bath instead.

There’ll be no more crying at the discotheque, watch uplifting lime and grapefruit oils dance in the air as the colours swirl and strobe across your bath. Get your tipple on with cognac oil as you get down and hit your own private dancefloor (but please don’t actually dance in the bath).

 

Phoenix Rising

5 out of 5 rating

A UK Phoenix Rising

Ive bought a lot of Phoenix Rising bombs. 😊

Also, I actually got to see how the Lush Ltd factory in England make phoenix Rising, and i recorded it.

Additionally I made a short video of it in my tub at the bottom of this page.

My U.S. Phoenix Rising

Lush Times: All the myth and magic of a phoenix, pressed into one bathtime experience, which lets you arise at the end feeling refreshed and ready for the next 500 years. Your phoenix will sink to the bottom then rise in triumph, her mythical sparkling purple and green plumage unfurling through your bath water. She’ll release gentle shea butter, cocoa butter and jojoba oil to leave your skin feather-soft. Exotic essential oils of fruit and spices take your mind on a flight of fancy to distant shores where you are lying on a beach drinking spiced rum.Actually, you won’t want to rise again from this bath – you’ll want to just stay on in there gliding on the dream! The phoenix is often quoted as using cinnamon sticks to make her nest. So we’ve topped this ballistic with some, so she has some handy nesting material, should she wish to stick around at yours for a while. Meanwhile, it will also add to the delicate spiciness of your bath.

Lush description: The work on this website had been going on in the background at Lush for quite some time. Having a current website trading plus a new one that is being built made for very confusing conversations when talking about things for ‘the website’. To end the confusion, we gave the website under construction the name Phoenix. So Phoenix has been very much on everyone’s mind here at Lush; not least Jack, who has been working on it for over a year. When he went into the lab to invent new ballistics, he couldn’t shake his mind free of it – and thus we now have a Phoenix Rising ballistic!

Oral Pleasure – Tantric Toothy Tabs

See my video demo below.


2015 5.95 gbp
Ingredients: Kaolin, sodium bicarb, moringa powder, lycopodium powder, benzoin resin, geranium oil, bay oil, bergamot.

Lush description: Oral Pleasure- They’ll blow you away.
Passionfruit and electric daisies make this just the job for mouthwatering brushing.

I like these ‘Oral Pleasure’ tooth tablets. So far there hasn’t been any new toothy tabs that I don’t like. Oral Pleasure has a good taste, though there are some folks who prefer other of the new toothy tabs. I think it taste like sweet tarts candy. I think all of the new toothy tabs do. And the tingling feeling, it’s mild but it is noticeable. Odd feeling, good taste, if that makes sense.

Bling! toothy tabs

Orange and Frankincense

I like the taste of these particular toothy tabs called ‘Bling!’  It’s nice and orange, like a real orange.  Even though there is gold powder on these it doesn’t get your mouth filled with gold dust glitter.  In face when you rinse your mouth after brushing, it’s all gone, just the taste remains. 🙂  These are my favorite tasting of the new shimmery toothy tabs.

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.

This is quite lovely in the tub, having many colors like a rainbow, ultimately turning the bath a golden hue.

Here’s a video i made of the Yoga Bomb in the tub

I love the meditative scent, the rainbow of colors and the golden shimmer in the water. I would buy more than one of these, so i would rate this bath bomb a 5 out of 5 rating.

Yogs Bomb body spray came out a couple of years later, along with other exclusive body sprays.


Divination

5 out of 5 rating

Violet, Patchouli, Rose, Thyme.

A Reusable bubble bar in a divining pendulum shape. How cool this idea. I think this is one of my favorite new products.  It’s purple, but covered in a Coppery shimmer. It smells of lovely violet floral with a touch of thyme and patchouli.  It mostly smells of violet.

The 3 minute video even further below is the 3 minute version which shows the water turning purple, shows the bubbles, shows the glitter in the water, etc. This shorter one here just shows it spinning above the tub. 😊

 

Here’s a youtube video i made of what the Divination reusable bubble bar looks like in the bath.

 

 

 

 

 

Guardian of the Forest bath bomb

5 out of 5 ratingBrought out in April 2015 for the Oxford Street superstore initially.

See my video of this gorgeous thing in the tub below.

Lush description:  Immerse yourself in a woodland lagoon dappled with mossy greens and earthy oakmoss absolute.

3.35

In my photo above i used it with a lush ‘oil on troubled water’ bath oil.

Vegan

Oakmoss absolute, and cypress. Dark Green scent but more feminine then tramp. supertramp or 1000 kisses.  The scent is more along the lines of Lush “Flowertub’ or”Jungle” because of the cypress.  It’s quite beautiful to me.  It’s one of the most beautiful green scents that Lush has done  in awhile in my opinion.

Ingredients:  Sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, cypress oil, lime oil, rosewood oil, oak moss absolute, frosty holly and yellow lustre.

Ive usedabout 4 Guardian bombs in the last few years. Once i used it with a Lush turtle bath bomb

These pics below are only the Guardian bomb bath without any other bombs.

I love the different shades of green foam thatGuardian makes in the water.

this is what it looks like when its finished dissolving in the water. Its got green sparkle in it as well. I always take pics of the sparkle if they have any but i forgot to with this bomb.

Lush also made an exclusive community voted on body spray of Guardian of the forest. I show that in my picture scent family photo below.

Lush Uk made a shower gel of this for one day only for people to buy.

Lush Kitchen Subscription box had an exclusive Guardian body scrub.

the lush kitchen body scrub feels nice, kind of a soft exfolition, not too scratchy.

Here’s a Video i made of it in the tub. GORGEOUS sparkly water.

Wizard bubble bar

Not to be confused with the ‘Wizard’ bath bomb from the Wicked/Lush collab, which is a totally different scent and look and just has the same name.

5 out of 5 rating

Here are some pics of the various Wizard bars ive had through the years.

l

See my tub demo video below

Here’s a pic of the Bath bomb that Wizard was made to smell like, it’s called ‘Jingle Spells’.

Lush Description: Cast a Jingle Spell over weariness with this shimmering bubble bar that makes bath time magic. With energising tangerine oil and purifying juniperberry and fennel essential oils, the Wizard banishes stress and helps you recover. Perfect for those occasions when you’ve over-indulged, the Wizard will disappear after Halloween, so grab enough to see you through the party season.

This one below looks kinda grumpy 😄

One Halloween, around 2017, Lush made a subscription box for the month of October. The box had Halloween products and included a Wizard bubble bar. Previous to that Wizard was a limited edition Halloween product made in the mid 2000’s after the popular Jingle Spells (not jingle bells) bath bomb.

It makes the water a dark purple with a light amount of sparkle. The scent is tangerine and fennel, so its kind of fruity with a subtle licorice scent, which is said to help with hangovets during the holiday festivities. 😄

Jingle Spells bath bath bomb, Jingle Jelly, Magic of Christmas FUN bar, Wizard bubble bar. Theres also red rice soap not shown.

i was very happy when Lush made this bubble bar from one of their bath bomb which was always my favorite in the early 2000’s. At one time i had 8-10 of these.

Review:  I’m not surprised that i love this bubble bar.  It’s purple, sparkly, and smells like my beloved Jingle Spells bath bomb. He’s so cute, i love his silver eyes and the star on his Wizard hat. The scent is a slightly spicy fruity scent.   A perfect fit for a Halloween.

Here’s a video i made of Wizard in the tub.

Fairy Dust

All you need is lustre, trust and a little Fairy
Dust. Sprinkle this Snow Fairy scented sweet,
sparkling pink dust over skin to stay fresh for
awfully big adventures.
 file-oct-11-5-10-03-pm1
The scent is a nice sweet, pink vanilla scent called ‘Snow Fairy’. There are very tiny sparkles in this powder.

The two powders this year 2020) are called Fairy Dust and Sleepy Dust appropriately.

I sprinkle the powder anywhere on my body that i want to feel drier like under my boobs or the back of my neck. Under my arms, etc.

I also sprinkle it in our sheets on the weekends too, especially sleepy. Its lavender scent is nice to smell as im drifting off to sleep.

Ive never really paid much attention to the Christmas dusting powders before because i always thought my money was better spent on bath bombs and bubble bars instead. But this year i splurged on both of the dusting powders.

Fairy dust has the same scent as snow fairy shower gel, magic wand bubble bar, and all those snow fairy scented products.

It is strongly scented too!

In 2018 Lush made ‘Snow Fairy Sparkle Jar’ for Christmas. Basically it was Fairy Dust powder inside of a star-shaped Massage bar/Solid Lotion with four small holes in it that the powder can be .
I LOVE when Lush makes two things in one, which they’ve only done only a few times in the last 25 years.
But not everyone loved them like i did. Some folks didnt know how they worked which kept them from buying one. And some who did buy one didnt buy one because it was too faffy to use.

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

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.
