Yog Nog
Oh my goodness. This is a wow product. The minute i slathered this on in the shower i knew i was in love.
in my photo below you can see on the right, next to my large bottle of Yog Nog shower gel is the Lush ‘Naked’ or solid Yog Nog shower gel.
Lush has made a soap, smoothie rhoulade, bubble bar, lotion, spray perfume, perfume oil, shower jelly, reusable bubble bar, and now finally a shower gel. Although its cdrtainly more like a shower cream because its so thick and decadent.
Below are the many products that Lush has made and sold throughout the years with the yog nog scent.
Everything that we love about yog nog is in this shower gel. The sweet, caramely richness was dying to be in this form so we could rub it all over ourselves. It FEELS so lushious on the skin. The scent is nice and strong and true to form.
Perfect yummy goodness.
And even better its a shimmery gold color!
*swoons*
Thank you Lush ❤️
This might be my favorite Christmas product this year.
Make sure you get the biggest bottle you can.
Oh…i also understand there is going to be a solid (naked) packageless version of this too!

Happy
One of two new shower gels this Christmas.
This smells like fruity bubblegum. Thats exactly what it smells like to me. I was surprised. Its made with lemon oil, orange oil and neroli oil. It also has wLnut leaf and dandelion root infusion.
Its a blue-green, medium thick gel with lots of multi colored shimmer.
Because of the ingredients i expected this to smell more citrussy, but its sweeter than i expected.
If you like fruity bubblegum you’ll like this shower gel.
This is one of six exclusive shower gels that Lush.co.uk made ‘just because’ from community favorite bath bombs
Honestly, This is the shower gel i was the least excited about. Ive seen sex bomb in one form or another for 17 years. *yawn*
However, i was in for a surprise when i used this for the first time.
Firstly, it has this quite unexpected pink shimmer to it. SO pretty. The bath bomb that this shower gel was named after doesnt have any glitter nor shimmer so this was a pleasant surprise. its not glitter like in Intergalactic shower gel, this is *shimmer*, more subtle than glitter. Beautiful. I just keep gazing at it in the light.
Secondly, the scent isn’t as complex as rhe bsth bomb scent. That said-this is what i could call a classically ‘pretty’ scent. Its feminine and floral. Having rose, and jasmine florals. The herbaceousness of the sage is kind of missing, and the ylang ylang isnt coming across at all to me but….i dont care because this floral shower gel scent has great ‘throw’. Its not a sweet scent. Just floral.
And more importantly two hours after my shower im getting compliments about how i smell at the grocery store, and from my husband. He said it smells sexy.
I SEE you Sex Bomb shower gel! ❤️
Other Lush products in this same Sex Bomb scent
Play Your Cards Right massage bar
SeXXX Bomb (a giant sex bomb)
Mum Tulip bubble bar on a stick (Lush made an orange tulip that had the sex bomb scent and another year lush made an orange tulip with a yuzu and cocoa scent).
I love the creamy goodness of the Lush Turmeric Latte bath bomb, so i was excited to get the shower gel.
Upon examination i was surprised there wasn’t glitter in this particular shower gel, since the bath bomb makes TONS of gold glitter in the bath water.
The scent is one of those sort of non-descript scents. Its a cross between perfume-y and food-y.
It smells like a combination of mens cologne and pie.
Yes.
So its a very different kind of scent. It’s scent does seem to cling onto the skin long after my shower. I can smell it on my arma couple of hours after my shower.
Since turmeric latte isn’t made with coffee, nor chocolate it doesnt smell like an American Cafe Latte. Turmeric is a spice used in indian cooking and other foods. Its what lends the golden color.
Tumeric latte is made with golden milk.
And thats what this scent smells like.
While i like it and will use it, i don’t love it. Its nice and confitioning to my skin, moreso than the other Lush shower gels. And its consistency is nice and thick.
See below for my 30 second close up video demo of this beautiful gel.
I show the Intergalactic bath bomb in my photo below. The bsth bomb came first and was sold as a regulr year round item in all stores for a couple years. The shower gel came next as an exclusive Lush community product.
Lush made six shower gels from six popular bath bombs. Intergalactic being one of the six.
The bath bomb is very popular because of its looks and its scent. Its cobalt blue and full of Glitter. Like a planet, in space, amongst the sparkly stars. Its a nice consistency its not a thin gel.
The bath bomb is sweet, minty, woody and citrussy. However, the shower gel loses some of its sweetness, and its woodiness in the translation. So the shower gel is minty and herbal with a jint of grapefruit. Not as sweet though, and not as layered in scent.
But nice smelling nonetheless. ❤️
Trying to show the sparkles in my photos above and below.
In this short video clip show the gels consistency by pouring it in a bowl.
Lush has made an Intergalactic bubble bar in 2024 as well as an Intergalactic ‘showder’ (shower powder soap), and an exclusive Intergalactic soap from the 2017 yearly Lush creative showcase event.

I cant remember the exact year but the bottle above was made for the very first time between 2014-2018.
The second bottle in my pic below was remade in July 2024 for the lush online community. Lush asked us to vote on what Lush product we would like them to make into a shower gel.
I am very excited that Lush included Guardian of the Forest in their newest ‘we’re making shower gels of your favorite bath bombs just because’.
As i state in my video i think of GOTF as a new classic Lush green scent. Its both deep green but also bright with cypress.
Its a translucent gel. I was somewhat disppointed that it doesnt have glitter since the bath bomb has emerald green glitter but its not a huge deal because im just glad to have a nice green smelling shower gel to enjoy!
It smells like I’m in a forest or a fairy glade only not quite as woody as the bath bomb.
Rosewood, oakmoss, cypress, and lime.
The gel is nice and thick and it lathers up nicely on my skin.
Its such a soothing, grounding scent.
“The forest is alive. Can you hear the trees whispering the secrets of the earth to you? They beckon you onward. Feel the carpet of cool, thick moss beneath your bare feet as citrus sunlight breaks through the trees ahead, gilding the world in dappled gold and green. Follow the footsteps of a mysterious creature and emerge into a clearing, a trickling waterfall in a glade of rosewood and cypress – the heart of the forest. Let the ethereal tranquility surround you as you step beneath the water, earthy oakmoss and cleansing lime washing away any trace of the world beyond. It’s just you and the trees.”
As i describe in my video below, it tastes more like a genersl bakery goodness as this lip scrub is made with almond, vanilla, hazelnut and cocoa.
Its nice consistency makes it easier to appky than some lush lip scrubs because it adheres to your finger better so youre able to pack it on your lips easier. It hold together more because there is extra moisturizing goodies in here.
Here is my demo and review of it. I hope it helps decide if you do or don’t want to purchase it. 🙂
“If you’re a fan of getting your hand stuck in the cookie jar, get your fingers stuck into this cocoa and vanilla lip scrub! Polish your pout to absolute perfection with a combination of course granulated sugar and superfine sea salt. An intriguing blend of vanilla, almond essential oil, carob and fir balsam creates a mouthwatering baked goods flavour that really takes the biscuit. You’ll go nuts for the blend of shea butter, toasted hazelnut and pistachio oils that all work wonders to make your lips feel hydrated and protected while creating the buttery biscuit base of this lip-smacking treat.”
Lush Uk made an exclusive body scrub selling it for one day only online, so i bought one. Yummy!
There are one or two other products that arent in this photo.
All the avocado co wash products made by Lush over the years and currently are listed below in order of the originating product at the top of the list.
Avocado Co Wash hair conditioner
Avocado Co Wash shower gel. This is a thick shower gel.
Avocado Co Wash body lotion
Melusine exclusive, limited edition bath bomb
Avocado Co Wash exclusive uk body spray
Avocado Co Wash naked shower cream
Minamisoma shower oil
I’m also checking to make sure that one of the Lush 2018 ‘bauble melts’ isnt avocado Co Wash scented.
Its a very sour lime scent with a nice sweet note in it. It’s quite a big burst of a limey fragrance made with sweet, fruity bergamot oil, fragrant incense-y yet citrussy frankincense (olibanum), and the lemony litsea cubeba herb.
There is the addition of avocado, which is moisturizing and softening for skin and hair.
This is a bubble bar made for Mothers Day.
There is rosemary, nettle, vinegar and lavender flower in the conditioner.
American Cream is a vanilla based scent which also has clary sage, and lavender as its scent components. The hair conditioner added strawberry. The other American Cream products have strawberry in them…but….American Cream products do not smell like strawberry. It’s made with strawberry, it’s not strawberry scented. And in the perfumery industry there IS a difference between those two sentences. I like to make that clear, so that people won’t spend their hard earned money on something that they think will be strawberry scented, only to be disappointed when it’s not.
And rest assured Lush doesn’t claim the American cream scent smells like strawberry either. I know because I’ve talked the the owner of lush about this very thing.
Now, onto what it DOES smell like, to most people, including myself. It smells like creamy vanilla, with a light whiff of herbal clary sage and a pinch of herb-y lavender. I like it.
I’d give it a 3 1/2 out of 5 rating.
Below i’ll list what is shown and what isn’t shown in my photo above.
From newest to oldest:
Two more different bath bombs in 2024 and 2025 that were both called American Cream and looked completely different. One is white with pink stars and the other is pink.
A white shimmery reusable bubble bar with a flower on it that originally came out just for the Lush Harajuku store.

This is the long awaited (if youre an OG Lushie) Cinders shower gel.
Many Lushies have been wsiting for a shower gel of Cinders since lush first introduced their Cinders bath bomb during holidays past.
Fireball bath bomb has the same scent.
The Cinders bath bomb (and later – uk forum perfume that i bought on the forum) has a base of orange oil and cinnamon leaf.
This shower gel however, adds some extra pumpkin pie spices that were not in the original. Alspice, nutmeg, clove, and pumpkin puree!
So itslike a combination of orange and pumpkin pie. Quite different.
Im surprised this isnt called a shower cream since it has extra moisturizing properties like almond oil and pumpkin seed oil.
I like the orange color for Fall. And i like that Lush added the obligatory American spice mix.

The consistency is a nice medium-thick.
The scent doesnt partcularly last on the skin.
I would drfinitely enjoy using the large bottle i have and the naked Cinders shower gel also, but i dont know that id care to buy another bottle bottle. Thsts why i rate Cinders shower gel a 4 out of 5 rating.
The original product was a bath bomb in the mid 2000’s.
Theres also a candle
Here is a 7 minute close up sink demo i recorded of Cinders shower gel.
i LOVE the Ectoplasm scent. Its been a long time since ive really loved a lush citrussy scent.
Exctoplasm has an addictive effervescent scent of grapefruit and tangerine. It smells like fizzy soda. Moreso than Bubble or Celebrate imo. Ectoplasm isnt as sweet as those. It actually makes my mouth water. Its got a strong sour lime grapefruit note.
I love that the solid or naked version in my pics below actually glow under ultraviolet light.
It all started with the Ectoplasm jelly bath bomb of the same name.
After lush introduced the bath bomb for the first time in 2017 it was a hit. And the bath oil TreeD was also a hit that Christmas. On the customer forum alot of lushied told Mark Constantine how much we loved the scent and hoped someday he would make a perfume out of it.
The next year they introduced this shower cream, a naked (solid) shower gel version, as well as a solid perfume and a washcard.
Lush made an Ectoplasm shower slime for Christmas 2021. Sept 23. In my picture above.
its got all kinds of citrussy smelling fruits in here; tangerine, bergamot, grapefruit. But its absolutely my favorite citrus shower gel. Its got a very creamy texture. Its thick.
Here is a demo video and review i recorded
The picture below shows the Lush ‘Naked’ (containerless) or solid form of the Ectoplasm shower gel.

This Lush ‘Tree D” bath oil was made later than the products above, but here’s a shot of it by itself. It has the Ectoplasm scent too!
Naked shower gel for Mothers day. See my sink demo and review video below!
Antiope is the name of the Amazonian in ‘Wonder Woman’.
this scent is earthy and orangey. It gets even better smelling when you use it. Initially, the clay gives a strange note to the fragrance, but as you use it the orangey scent comes out and combined with the fresh, calming scent of the bentonite clay.
It’s a very thin gel which you have to shake up. I put mine in the fridge so when shaken it gets thicker. I love it.I have to admit to needing to have it aroundat all times. I love spicy/foody smells and Skinny Dip is THE spicy and softening shower gel/bath foam I’ve tried to date from Lush. This gel wasrabidlypopular in it’s day and I don’t know why Lush disconinued this.
Initially Lush titled this a “body conditioner” in their catolog because it was different than the other shower gels. It was used somewhat differently than the shower gels, and looked different. Then later lush just decided to list it under shower gels.
I used it in the bath and i even washed my hair with it at times. Ohhh what fabulous things it did for my skin.
This smells like very strong cloves. there’s a creamy, buttery-rich bakery smell too, lightly. Skinny Dip kind of smells like an uber strong ‘Phoenix Rising/Bathos’ but with even more notes and more ingredients.
The gel needed to be shaken up though or it will seperate. When it does seperate (like oil and water) the top will be more of a off white creamy thick consistency and the bottom half a thin watery dark golden mixture as you can see in the photo i took of mine above. It’s got white chocolate bits, coconut, cocoa butter bits, almond oil, clary sage, ylang ylang, cedarwood, clove, Vetivert Oil, Palmarossa Oil and then some skin softening goodies like cocoa butter, almond oil.
I have dry skin and I love how this makes my skin so soft as well as fragrant. The scent lasts on the skin longer than most so that’s great. I also used it on my hair.
There was a learning curve to this scent for me. The first time I tried it I did’t like it. I thought it was waaay too strong and it didn’t smell like chocolate to me, which i mistakenly thought it would. Later after learning how to read the ingredients listing, I realized it was full of clove oil, cedarwood and Ylang Ylang.
i put some in a ramekin to take a pic to show you all what it looks like. Its not a very good picture, I didnt know what i was doing back then camera-wise. 😄
Here’s a demo video i made of using the Lush skinny Dip Buttercream at the sink.
Size: 7.0 oz $11.60 Skinny Dip – 3.5 oz $5.80
NOTE: This buttercream product may melt and is NOT guaranteed to arrive solid during the summer months!
Here are some photos i took of other Lush products with the same scent.
Lush 2006 description: As a shower gel Skinny Dip was one of those products which people loved or hated; now that it has metamorphosed into a Butter Cream we hope that even more people will love it (the ones who didn’t like having to shake the bottle to mix up the cocoa butter, for example). Now, Lush’s gorgeous, violet and clove scented shower extravagance comes in solid form with softening cocoa butter, soothing aloe vera and our ever popular infusion of creamed coconut. Washing your body with Skinny Dip Butter Cream feels like a soothing massage with relaxing tropical oils.
This is Skinny Dip but in buttercream form. While it doesn’t begin to have the creamy goodness and originality of it’s predecessor shower gel, Skinny Dip buttercream is a nice, medium consistency and smells of that clove and white chocolate aroma of Skinny Dip. Its not as complex of a scent as the body conditioner/shower gel. And while I give Skinny Dip buttercream three stars, It’s not the same Lush as the “Skinny Dip” original body conditioning gel, it’s just not the same.
Below is another product; the Skinny Dip body lotion. I liked it more than the buttercream but still not quite like the shower gel.
a
in my picture below is the Skinny Dip bubble bars. They were AWESOME.
This is my picture of my first bottle of Sonic Death Monkey that i took in 2006. Blurry, lol.
The name comes from a record store owner’s band name in the movie called ‘Hi Fidelity’ made in 2000.
The reason i rated this a 3 is because its too thin of a consistency for me. Anytime Lush has remade this in the Lush Kitchen, Retro, etc. Lushies, including myself, complain how thin it is. Its always been watery.
Also, i dont think it smells quite like chocolate. Its very sweet, and sweet with orange, lime, and tangerine.
It doesnt suck, but its not something i would buy if they started selling it in stores again. And im typically an orange freak, i love it so much, but not the case with sonic death monkey.
Here’s a demo and review i made on my youtube channel showing Sonic Death Monkey shower gel.
These three Lush products in my photo below were made with the same scent.
It smells like Lush’ “Whipstick” lip scrub.
Its different than the discontinued chocolate and ginger shower gel “13 Rabbits“. I like 13 rabbits more, its more like real chocolate in scent and consistency than Sonic Death Monkey.
Lush 2006 Description:There are many chocolate shower gels in the world and most of them, frankly, are horrid. They are nasty, gimmicky, cheap, synthetic things which smell like market stall chocolate Christmas decorations – horrid, as we were saying. For a while we resisted, not wanting to be tarnished by such a tawdry image, then we thought to ourselves, “We can do better than that, much better!” so we did. (Actually Noriko did it.) Oh what gloriously gloopy, sensual stuff Sonic Death Monkey turned out to be. It has seaweed gel make your hair and body feel soft; it’s scented with chocolate orange and tones you up with fresh lime, Caribbean coffee and herbal tea. (It’s named after Barry’s band in High Fidelity.) Cover yourself in chocolate orange and dig that crazy gravy.
January 2022 originally it actually was ‘Happy 4 S.A.D.’ with the number 4.
S.A.D. stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. A disorder that some people who live in certain more Northern places in the world like Alaska, New England, etc. can get because they get very little sun or if their body doesn’t make enough of the chemical that converts sunlight.
Low serotonin:Sunlight can help the body maintain typical serotonin levels, a chemical that helps regulate mood.
Low vitamin D:Exposure to sunlight also helps the body produce vitamin D, which boosts serotonin activity.
High melatonin:Melatonin is a hormone that helps coordinate the sleep-wake cycle.
So they get a kind of severe depression. To offset this depression, they will often be prescribed UV (Ultra Violet) therapy. The light that comes out of the UV machine is Purple.
$9.95 8.4oz (in 2004)
Review: Happy 4 S.A.D. shower gel is a deep purple colored gel, that smells like cheerful and yummy, fresh, peeled oranges with a fresh whiff of dove orchid. Fab. I LOVE that crazy ultraviolet color.
Be advised though, this shower gel can be quite thin. Ive had some bottles that are a normal shower gel consistency, and ive had some that have a thinner than normal, watery consistency.
Lush Times 2004 description: Sad bunnies in the northern hemisphere will need this most in January, February and March whilst misery kittens in the southern hemisphere will want it in July, August and September. Lack of sunshine can make us all feel a bit down in the dumps so at Lush central we’ve done our best to bottle it. Happy for SAD is an ‘ultra-violet’ colored shower gel (it’s very purple!) scented with a bunch of the cheery, stimulating essential oils. We have rose to restore happy feelings, uplifting, refreshing mandarin and a drop or two of the wonderful neroli, said to relieve tension and stress and give a feeling of euphoria to all who smell it. Whenever you feel the dull, dark days and long nights getting you down, get up with Happy for SAD.
In 2026 Lush made a Happy For S.A.D shower jelly as an exclusive in the monthly subscription box.
Here’s a demo video i made of this shower gel
This Lush bath bomb, ‘Shut Up and Get Over It’ (aka Jiggly’s Foxy Balls)’ was made in the same scent.
See my up close (to show the glitter) sink demo video of it below
One of the lush shower gels which came here to North America September 18, 2015. These 3 shower gels including Lord of Misrule, Don’t Rain on my Parade, and Beautiful, debuted at lush new “Superstore” on Oxford Street in London.
This shower cream is a more moisturizing, creamy shower gel, in the popular Lord of Misrule fragrance. Black pepper, vanilla and patchouli. This is a nice way of having the LOM scent. There are also two more Oxford street new products having this same scent (see Aliens and Monsters fun bar), LOM find the gap bar, and Rough With the Smooth bar, as well as the Lord of Misrule bath bomb, and the LOM perfume. Just for fun I made a photo of all these together (below).
It’s called a shower cream instead of a shower gel because it has extra moisturizing properties such as wheatgerm oil, etc.
I love this. I’ve even washed my hair with this. Because the scent stays a good long time on my skin or hair.
Below are two pictures i took of the scent family products.
Here’s a picture of the Lord of Misrule display at lush Oxford Street. They have four sizes at the Oxford street location
.
Here are the Lush products which are in the same scent family
The gel is nice and thick and it lathers up nicely on my skin.
Here is my demo and review of it. I hope it helps decide if you do or don’t want to purchase it. 🙂
American Cream is a vanilla based scent which also has clary sage, and lavender as its scent components. The hair conditioner added strawberry. The other American Cream products have strawberry in them…but….American Cream products do not smell like strawberry. It’s made with strawberry, it’s not strawberry scented. And in the perfumery industry there IS a difference between those two sentences. I like to make that clear, so that people won’t spend their hard earned money on something that they think will be strawberry scented, only to be disappointed when it’s not.
cream since it has extra moisturizing properties like almond oil and pumpkin seed oil.
