All The Wild Things

5 out of 5 rating

See my demo video of this soap in my 3 minute video below.

This limited edition soap was made so that net proceeds from the sale of this goes towards animal rescue efforts due to the Australian Bush fires.

The soap was made in the Outback Mate soap scent, which is made with eucalyptus, peppermint and lemongrass.

I had bought two and i.left my package in my room and my whole room smelled wonderful!

They had these available for one day on the Lush Uk, and Lush USA websites before they sold out. Lush usa decided to make more so they could sell them again before they sold out again in one day.

“We can only imagine the horror faced out in the Australian bush by those who are going out searching for animal survivors amongst the estimated billion creatures killed so far in the fires. In recognition of the overwhelming task faced by this informal Animal’s Emergency Service, we have made All The Wild Things soap. Net proceeds from this limited edition eucalyptus and lemongrass soap will go to animal rescue groups providing emergency first aid and rehabilitation as well as restoring the habitat where the wild things were. Grab one now online or visit your local Lush shop. Let the wild recovery start.”

Snow Apple

5 out of 5 rating.

See my Lush Christmas soaps video below.

This is a new soap for Christmas, and Lush made this soap in the popular ‘So White’ bath bomb scent. The scent is made with orange flower and smells just like a tart green apple! The fragrance actually makes my mouth water.

Its green with silver snow covering it, and it has a leaf on it just like a fresh picked apple. Its not conditioning. The scent is nice and strong and leaves a marvelous fresh scent of crisp apples on my skin.

One of my top favorites this Christmas!

Snow Fairy soap

5 out of 5 rating.

2025 version

This has the Snow Fairy scent of course, it’s nicely scented. I like how there’s a light dusting of glitter on it.

You can see the gold glitter dust on the right side.

This is the 2019 Snow Fairy snow flake soap. Every year Lush makes a different looking soap.

This year Snow Fairy soap looks very different. Its a snow flake! I love this new look from last years glittery Snow Fairy cold pressed soap.

Also different this year is the addotion of lime oil. This doesnt change the snow fairy scent it just makes it brighter.

Historically Snow Fairy isnt my favorite Lush scent. I found it kind of cloyingly sweet. So the addition of lime makes it smell much nicer to my nose.

It seems to be a bit more conditioning than most of the other christmas soaps with the exception of butterbear.

See my 2019 Christmas soaps video below.

This is the 2016 version, Snow Fairy cold pressed soap. It’s a much denser soap. Lush made four different soaps in this dense cold pressed form.

Lush Christmas Soaps

See my video showing and describing each soap in detail. I forgot Satsuma and Golden Pear which i have already reviewed here on my blog on their seperate pages. Both of those have a 5 out of 5 star rating.

Good Day Sunshine soap

3.5/4.0 out of 5 rating. See my sink demo and review video below.

Lush introduced this and other soaps online on their up site first and today this Good Day Sunshine and also Michelle Ma Belle soap are available in the U.S.

“Carved like an engraved offering to a Mayan Sun God, this vibrantly bright and beaming citrus-scented soap presents a thick crown of golden yellow bath bomb mix, which when used for the first time kisses your skin with fizzing foam, welcomed like warm rays on a summer’s day. The dazzling orange, vegan aquafaba base offers notes of sparkling lemon myrtle, zesty lime and uplifting neroli to flip your mood sunny side up, while exfoliating chia seeds offer a delicate polish that leaves skin feeling soft and bright enough to rival the sun. “

It doesn’t foam up as it says on the website. Lush has added bath bomb mixture to the soap so that it produces a nice shower bomb type of foam, but I couldn’t get either soap to foam up when I used them at the sink nor in the shower.

Regardless, I like using the soap.

It’s got the same scent as the ‘Brightside” bubble bar.

Michelle Ma Belle soap

3.5/4.0 out of 5 rating. See my sink demo video below.

Lush introduced this and one other soap (Good Day Sunshine) first in the uk, on their website, which is where I got mine. These two soaps along with four others were introduced first at the Lush Liverpool spa megastore, along with 350 other new products.

Today it’s available in the U.S..

Lush made this in the popular Christmas yog nog scent. I guess they decided to make the yog nog soap in a different look and make it permanent.

“Engraved like an Aztec monolith hidden deep within the jungle, this decadently creamy gold bar reveals a new world of soap for you to explore. An iridescent layer of shimmering shower bomb is pressed into the embedded labyrinth design, like sand covering a long-lost clue. But don’t blow it away like dust on an old map, instead revel in its fizz and rich, thick foam as you turn it this way and that under the warm running water, revealing the secret of its carved pathways. A treasure trove of rich aromas lies in store; spiced vanilla, butterscotch, dolcelatte. Gold clay merges with chunks of white Amazonian clay, filled with minerals and nutrients of the rainforest’s fallen fruits and leaves, together they cleanse and gently exfoliate, leaving the skin soft and revived. Digging a little deeper, other marvels emerge; castor oil, cocoa butter and coconut oil for a creamy lather that is sure to leave your hands, and everywhere else, with the Midas touch.”

I wonder why. Does this mean we won’t be getting yog nog soap for Christmas?

Regardless it’s a nice soap. I must say however that the bath bomb stuff they decided to add to the soap mixture doesn’t foam up as their description says. I demo’d two different pieces on my video below and neither of them ‘foamed up’.

The feel of the soap is very nice. I enjoyed washing with it in the shower.

Sleepy soap

4 out of 5 rating

This soap was made exclusively for the New Lush Liverpool mega store, but Lush Uk decided to offer this on their retail website for anyone who wished to purchase one.

Naturally i had to buy one.

It was made in the classic Lush Twilight fragrance.

The fragrance components are lavender, tonka bean (which smells caramel-ish), and ylang ylang.

The blend is floral, herbal with a subtle creamy background. Its only very subtley sweet.

When washing with it this has a creamy consistency. It makes loads of lather.

I recorded a relaxing ASMR style 8 mi ute review and demo video, just for something different.

Even if you dont like asmr videos it does show how it lathers up at the sink on my arm and hands.

Golden Angels Delight

Angels Delight looks different everytime they make it for Christmas. Its called Golden Angels Delight this year, 2025, and its in the shape of a gold angel. Same yummy scent of fruit punch.

There was a Golden Angels Delight bubble bar (in my picture below) too for Christms 2022.

Original 2005 version

Review: Fruit Punch! Or even watermelon. That’s exactly what this charming soap smells like. I’m in love with it. It’s impossible to feel dreary when using this fushia, purple and orange colored soap. If you’re lucky enough to get a piece from the top of the big slab, there are golden shimmery moons and lilac colored stars and all kinds of technicolor delights. Also see, Lush “Golden Moon” soap below.

Description: Why do angles come down to earth at Christmas? To get their fruity soap like everyone else does. Our fruity,sparkly, limited edition special hand and body soap tones and twinkles your skin to make you feel like an angel even if you haven’t been behaving like one. Its fruity scent has been likened to Jelly babies. Each year it looks slightly different but smells just as gorgeous. Get your slice of this year’s batch.

Here’s a special shaped one that was available in a Christmas 2006 gift set.

Lush made a bath bomb one year that is called Angels Delight, its pink, and has the same scent and there’s a gold moon.

Strawberry Whip soap

5 out of 5 rating. See my 4 minute sink demo video below.

£6.50 per 100g (transferred to american dollars this becomes $8.28). I wonder what Lush NA price will be per 100g? 😉

I always considered the Strawberry Twin Tub/Two Timing Tart scent to be a 4 out of 5 rating. I like this soap even more than the jelly so i would rate this strawberry whip soap a 5 out of 5 rating.

Heres my video. I cut it open and show it.

I ordered three of these.

its scent is from a retro product scent called ‘Strawberry Twin Tub‘ that was from a jelly that they made in the mid 2000’s. It has a companion bubble bar called “Two Timing Tart’ (and old review from me about it).

Ive used the 2006 strawberry twin tub jelly, and its bubble bar companion ‘Two Timing Tart’ because these products were created for one of my friends ‘Twinmum’ on the Lush Uk customer forum.

This strawberry whip soap will have a wee bit more floral/perfume-y.

I don’t like lots of Lush products that have Jasmine, because they smell gross. This is NOT like those gross jasmine products.

Because it smells nice, the smell is stronger, its more moisturizing than regular lush soaps. Its got a middle layer of cocoa butter inside. Also, its bigger than i expected. Its not a tiny soap….i give it a 5 out of 5.

North Polar Bear Left the Tap On

4 out of 5 rating

2018

This is a gorgeous new soap for Christmas made in the Lush ‘Sex Bomb’ scent. The scent is made with jasmine, rose, clary sage, synthetic musk. this soap adds lingonberry to the mix however.

I took some video footage of it at the creative showcase

Lush gas made many products with this same scent. I took a photo below of them all, except one is missing. Anyway this is a floral scent. If you like flowers and other floral scents you would like this NPBLTTO soap.

One thing that i like about it is that the sexy scent stays on the skin even after rinsing, drying off. Hours later i get a slight whiff of it’s sexy perfume.

Its not sweet, its smells mostly like rose and clary sage to my nose, but each persons nose can pick out different notes as primary.

The scent was made to be sexy, and that it is.

I like that we can choose yellow or green. The large soap inthe shops looks aaesome, i took a photo of the North Polar Bear soap at the Lush Creative Showcase.

The product missing from my scent family photos below is ‘Sex n the Shower’ emotibomb.

Lush Description: My Dear Children,

It has been such a long time since I last wrote to you, I hope you are all doing well. Things at the North Pole have been a bit hectic again. We have had a few fairly peaceful years but I should have known that wouldn’t last. You remember my dear friend North Polar Bear and the mischief he would get up to? Well, he has gone and done something silly again. I’m getting too old for these things now.

I was taking a bath, usually it is North Polar Bear who takes baths but even I like them sometimes, as it had been a very busy and tiring week and my bones creak a little now you see and I find that the hot water helps immensely. I was soaking happily (my favourite soap is made with jasmine absolute and ylang ylang oil as it makes me feel happy and even Father Christmas deserves some floral sometimes), when all of a sudden a roaring, rushing sound surrounded my house and the sky lit up like a bonfire! I leapt from the bath in a such a hurry that I splashed the lingonberry infused water all over the floor and dashed out of the bathroom, nearly forgetting my towel in my haste!

As I went outside, it looked like the sky had been set on fire with swirling colours of blue and green and yellow and red and I knew just what had happened. North Polar Bear had left the tap on for the Northern Lights and let two years out in one go! He says it was an accident but I think he just wanted to cause a bit of mischief for old times’ sake. It’s set to be another couple of dark Christmases for us here at the North Pole thanks to him, but the candlelight is quite charming and comfortable really so I don’t mind too much. I rather missed his antics.

I hope you are doing very well. Sending my love to you all.
Yours always, Father Nicholas Christmas

Strawberry Santa

5 out of 5 rating

See my short demo video below

This wonderful holiday limited edition soap for 2018 has the scent of ‘Yummy yummy yummy’ shower gel and ‘Peeping Santa’ bubble bar.

This is one of those soaps that is almost too cute to use.

That cocoa butter cream in the middle looks delicous.

I was wondering how it’s shape would be condusive to washing. However it was just a matter of holding it in more of a cupping fashion.

The scent is surprisingly and pkeasantly strong. Thank goodness.

It really is a more moisturizing soap because of the conditioning cocoa butter in the soap.

Its made with fresh strawberries, geranium, and frankincense. This gives it a fruity, sweet, but equally floral and resinous scent.

The combination is addictive.

I have used every Lush Yummy yummy yummy scented product that Lush has made in the past and this soap does not dissappoint.

Its not as sweet as say the ‘snow fairy’ soap but almost. Its one of the sweetest soaps this holiday.

This is a soap that smells so good, works so well at moisturizing, is cute, that i would have to buy 3-5 of these.

Here is a review i recorded of this soap

Description: The weather outside may be frightful but Christmas showers have never been so delightful. What better way to finish off a great feast than with a creamy dessert, sandwiched between a cocktail of fresh strawberry juice and uplifting bergamot oil. Not to be mistaken for food, take this soapy little fellow and lather up under sweet suds of calming olibanum oil and conditioning peach kernel oil. Santa’s wearing a new suit this year, it’s strawberry sweet and totally unique. Hold him upright in your hand and massage into your palm to build up a lather that Father Christmas would be proud of.

Ghost in the Dark

3.5 out of 5

A glow in the dark soap for Halloween 2018

He glows in the dark 😊

it smells extremely lemony. Must be the lemongrass in it. I love lemongrass. It’s not a complicated scent, pretty much citrussy. Not sweet at all. Makes your mouth kind of pucker when you smell it. I like the glow in the dark effect. It’s definitely not moisturizing in any way, in fact it kind of dries out my already dry skin. But it’s cute for Halloween with its look, and it’s glow in the dark quality.

Poppy

I’ll be getting three (one for a giveaway) in around 7 days, and I’ll record a sink demo and do a review at that time as well.

This soap is made with black currants.

Lush Description: Take a walk through a wild meadow. As far as the eye can see, bright red poppies stretch out before you, swaying heads, petals beckoning you onward. The sun warms your face as you stroll, insects humming gently as you pass, dancing among the flowers. Find the perfect spot and unpack your picnic of jam sandwiches and cool blackcurrant squash, their sugary sweetness lingering in the air before being whisked away on a bergamot breeze.

Here’s a sink demo and review video I recorded

Oat

I’ll be recording a sink demo of my Oat hand soap and review this week so keep checking here

Jack Constantine created this one for his wife; he wanted a soothing, creamy bath that would relax her and leave her skin as soft as a vegan alternative to silk.

Oat is made in the same fragrance as the Lush ‘Mrs Whippy’ bath bomb. So it has a lovely, light perfume made with a combination of Soya Milk Powder, Tapioca Flour, Fairtrade Sugar, Cocoa Absolute, Tonka Absolute, Almond Essential Oil, and Buchu Oil.

Komorebi

4 out of 5 rating. this has the Lush ‘Tramp’ shower gel fragrance.

This soap is so cute looking like a leaf. it’s nice to wash with. i love the 3D design of this soap.

The forest awakes

Light shining through from above

A gift from the trees

Tramp through the woods as you follow a mysterious creature. Light shines through the leaves above, the world turned green and gold as speckles trail across your skin. Your feet sink into cool grass as you come to a clear forest pool. Slip in and bathe with mossy ho wood oil and labdanum. Become one with the forest as lavender wraps around you, lulling you to sleep in an enchanted glade.

Here’s some photos of mine below.

This soap has a woody scent. I like it. Also its such a striking looking soap.

My haul from the 2018 Lush Creative showcase in Manchester. The Birch soap is on the bottom far right

It reminds me of the soaps in my photo below) that came out around the same time, that were able to stand up to show the pretty laser design on the one side of them. However Birch came out only at the Creative Showcase event and at the Oxford Street superstore.

Chamomile Lawn

4 out of 5 rating

lush had a solid shampoo for blondes called Chamomile Lawn decades before this soap.

This has lots of chamomile and lavender too. There is also neroli.

It smells bright, herbal, green and floral.

Ingredienser: Propylene Glycol, German Chamomile Infusion (Matricaria chamomilla), Water (Aqua), Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Organic Castor Oil (Ricinus communis), Sodium Hydroxide, Lavender Oil (Lavandula augustifolia), Lavender Absolute (Lavandula angustifolia), Chamomile Blue Oil (Matricaria chamomilla), Neroli Oil (Citrus aurantium amara), Glycerine, Titanium Dioxide, Citric Acid, Sodium Bicarbonate, *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 47005:1, Colour 42090:2, Colour 47005, Colour 19140, Colour 42090 *Occurs naturally in essential oils

These new soaps are made in a different way. The designs are made via 3D laser cutting. Also, these soaps are made to stand up so they’re easier to hold and easier to stand up and be seen in the shower or bath.

I took a pic below and you can see the green chamomile lawn bar.

Lush made about ten different kinds of these soaps before they discontinued them all very quickly. Dont know what happened but i liked all of these newly designed (at the time) soaps alot.

You can see the chamomile lawn soap standing up in the back of my Mother’s Day haul from 2017.

They have more fragrance to stay on the skin after you’ve washed, and they’re full of luxurious skin moisturizing oils and butters.

Also, they have a bit of bicarb in them for a foamy effect.
