Plum Duff shower gel

3 out of 5. See my Demo and Review Video below

This is one of three shower gels for Christmas 2021.

The ingredients list lists raisins as the first ingredients. Raisins? I don’t recall any raisins being in the original Plum Duff bath bomb but. 🤷🏼‍♀️

i LOVE this scent. It’s like a sexy but berryish and slightly sweet. Not citrussy, but fruity somewhat like The Comforter is fruity. Its got that same note that is in the Comforter shower gel that some people dont like. It’s a different scent than all the other Lush scent. At one time the bath bomb was my FAVORITE Lush product. It was made in 1999.
😊it’s got tangerine and sandalwood in it as i recall.

the bath bomb smelled like sexy sandalwood mixed with cotton candy or something.

But this Plum Duff shower gel isnt exactly like the original. But its still nice. Its a different scent for Lush Christmas shower gel, which i appreciate.

Here is the Plum Duff scent family Plum Duff bath bomb, Sugar Plum bath bomb, Plum Duff letters bath bomb, and It’s a Date bubble bat

Here is my demo and review video

The Sicilian

Lush ‘The Sicilian’ bath bomb.
Made in the early 2000’s. Discontinued about four years later.

this is one of five products here that are up for the vote for the August 2021 Lush subscription box.

This bath bomb was always a staple for me, and probably becuase my favorite smell is the smell of fresh peeled oranges.

Its a fast fizzing bomb not a slow melting creamy one. no bath art. no glitter.

This is made with four different orange ingredients: Mandarin, Orange, Neroli, and Tangerine.
It also has marigold flower petals mixed in and an orange slice.

The reference comes from the book/movie ‘The Godfather’ which is about a mafia boss from Sicily (and one of my favorite movies). In it the director has something about oranges in every killing scene. 😊

Lush made asoap called Sunny Citrus which is in the same scent.

Lush 2005 Description: Why Sicilian? Well, we named it thus because of the organic Sicilian oranges we slice up and put inside each one and because its sunny colour and refreshing citrus scent remind us of the fruit trees in Sicily’s fertile valleys. We pack it with refreshing, uplifting orange, tangerine and mandarin oils to make us feel almost as good as if we were tootling around on a Vespa with the warm wind messing up our hairdo.

LT 2004: The Sicilian is a bath for brightening up dull days;even sunny days can appear dull when there’s nothing exciting to look forward to. If you know your’re going to spend all day in meetings, or in a room with no daylight or haivng tea with yoru dullest relative thake a Sicilian bath first. The reviving essential oils, made from Sicilian oranges, mandarins, tangerines and orange flowers will cheer you up so much you might actually find you enjoy yourself! Share citrus Sicilians with your co-workers and relatives and all your days will be summer.

Magnificent

See my 2 minute demo and review video of my Lush Magnificent bath oil below.


Feel propelled by uplifting grapefruit and tangerine, as you luxuriate in waters infused with a coalescence of intensely moisturising shea butter, jojoba oil and restorative litsea cubeba oil. You don’t need a bath to tell you how magnificent you are, but it helps.


Tangerine, Grapefruit and Litsea cubeba.

Tree D

4 out of 5 rating. Made with the Ectoplasm bath bomb fragrance of tangeeine, grapefruit and litsea cubeba.. see my tub demo below.

I love that this is a 3D bath melt of a tree. Thus the name ‘Tree D’. We can use one piece or both pieces for one bath.

I’m full on addicted to this citrussy scent.

The Magic of Christmas FUN bar

$6.95 see my demo video below 😄
The grounding, mystical fragrance of
juniperberry, fennel and tangerine oils will also
make for luxurious and meditative bathtimes.
For some, magic is best taken seriously.
(I can tell this probably has the Jingle Spells fragrance from what the ingredients are!)

Sharp and zesty tangerine oil bubbles say the soak’s on you! This jingly jangly, sweet as candy, reusable bar is packed with enough Sicilian mandarin to have you turning cartwheels round the room and bouncing off the walls. Sugar coat your soaks more than once, by swishing around the bath or dancing under the running water, for peaks of colourful foam and bubbles galore.Here’s a demo video i made in the tub of this bubble bar

I remember the cartoons Sylvester and Tweety Bird. And this looks just like Tweety bird.

LOVE the tangerine scent of this bubble bar.  Having the scent similar to Lush ‘Sun’ perfume, Sun bath oil, and ‘Wonder Woo Hoo‘ bubble bar.

I’ve made a video review and demo of this below 🙂

 For a long time This was only available at the Lush Oxford Street superstore. Pretty exclusive.

Here’s a demo review video i made of Tweet bubble bar.

In October 2021 the Lush Kitchen made exclusive green Tweets and rare Black Tweet bubble bars just for the monthly Subscription box. Yay!

Sunrise soap

5 out of 5 rating See my demo video below.

This lovely sunset colored soap has the same lovely fruity scent as the “Brightside” bubble bar

It’s more moisturizing than other Lush soaps. As I demonstrate in the Vid there’s a creamy Cocoa butter and murmuru butter core under the harder outter shell of this dome shaped soap. 

Here’s a close up I took of the inside of my Sunrise soap. 

Lush description: You don’t have to be an early-riser to enjoy the heartwarming beauty of a sunrise. Simply lather up with this bright and zesty soap, and wash in layers of toning tangerine and mandarin. And, like a ray of sunshine, a soft murumuro core will gently caress skin with softness. 
Here’s a video demonstration i did of this soap

Review: Happy soap is a lovely yellow and green soap with happy faces on the top of the big slab. It’s a medium-strong orangey scent. Orange and tangerine being very uplifting.

Notes: This goes well with the following orangey lush products: “Happy pill” ballistic, and Karma scented item, “You’ve Been Mangoed” bath melt, “The Olive Branch” shower gel, “Each Peach” massage bar, and Therapy massage bar.

Lush Times 2006 description: Happy Soap is a translucent orange soap decorated with smileys. Happy soap is toning for your skin and cheering for your mind. When your happy friends are around let them use it too. The world can do with a good dose of happiness.

Babyface

Baby-Face-de-Lush1_zpshwxrvypq

Ingredients: Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Fresh Avocado Butter, Tangerine Oil, Narcissus Absolute, Everlasting Flower Absolute, Perfume.

Lush directions on How To Use: “Dampen face with warm water, rub bar between palms, smooth over face, then remove it using warm water on a face cloth, or cotton balls or pads”

Babyface has a really nice smell of orange kind of like a creamsicle, or Lush Ceridwen’s Cauldron.  Babyface  works well to take off makeup. Just swipe on your hands and then rub on your face. I don’t like to wipe the bar on my face but some folks like to rub Babyface directly on the face, either way is fine. Then just  wash off with a warm wash face cloth. Skin feels soft, smooth and moisturized.

Lush 2001 description: The Baby Face bar is another of our solid cleansers which we developed in order to avoid using preservatives on the skin. It melts on the skin so you can softly smooth it all over the places which need cleansing (it’s an excellent make-up remover) then to take it off use warm water on 100% cotton wool or a face cloth and you will be astonished at both how lovely and soft your face feels and how clean the Baby Face gets it. Each smiling bar has four different natural plant butters in it to remove dirt and put back moisture. Its lovely scent comes from toning tangerine oil, narcissus (which we use to make so you beautiful you’ll want to look at your reflection all the time) and everlasting flower (to give you everlasting beauty).

Size: Baby Face – 1.2 oz. $7.95

NOTE: This product may melt and is NOT guaranteed to arrive solid during the summer months!

Four out of 5 stars.  See my video of it in the tub below, it’s so cute.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Pink Soap Paper, Sicilian Mandarin Oil, Tangerine Oil, Bergamot Oil, Cornflowers, Marigold Petals, Red Rose Petals, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Gardenia Extract, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Benzyl Alcohol, Butylphenyl, Methylpropional, *Limonene, *Linalool, Colour 19140:1, Colour 15510, Green Glitter

Review:  I love this bath bomb.  It’s so cute, and it smells very orange-y, yummy with orange, tangerine and bergamot.

Lush Times: Smash your Henata against the side of your bath for an explosion of wonderful surprises – a mini ballistic egg, petals, a blooming big bunch of soap paper flowers and a shower of green glitter. Along with her cargo of goodies, she carries a lovely fragrance full of sunny citrus oils like Sicilian mandarin, tangerine and bergamot. Use one first thing in the morning to put a Spring in your step.

 

Here’s a video i made of the Henata bath bomb in the tub.

 

Jingle Spells

See my video of this below

Review: A Christmas bath bomb that I’ve been hooked on since I first tried it in late 2001. A slight Licorice scent to me, because of the fennel I guess, and that’s what makes it a different scent.  It has a lovely fruity note to it as well (the tangerine). It smells enchanting to me.   It turns the water purple and has silver and black foil stars inside for added effect. Lush claims that the herbs and plants in Jingle Spells helps when you over imbibe with drink during the holidays.

It smells magical yet feminine because of the ylang ylang.   I think I’ve had about 25-50 in total throughout the years.

Ingredients: sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, perfume, juniperberry oil, tangerine oil, fennel oil, ylang ylang oil, twinkling stars

Lush products that share this scent are;

Jingle Jelly

Magic of Christmas Fun bar

Red Rice soap

Wizard bubble bar

Jingle Spells bath water is a lovely purple with a bit of silver shimmer.

Lush Times 2002 Yuletide description: Jingle Spells was last year’s Christmas ballistic bestseller, so we decided to leave it just exactly the way it was; why mess with success? It still has little stars in it and it still smells of juniperberry (the ones they make gin from) and revitalising tangerine with fennel, which smells a bit like aniseed, but not too strongly, plus beautiful floral ylang ylang blossom. Jingle Spells is a magically refreshing, detoxing bath; we recommend it as a Christmas hangover cure (but with out po-faced caps on we’d also like to recommend that you don’t drink too much as it’s very bad for your skin).

Notes: See Jingle Spells (star-shaped)

S:SIngredients: sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, perfume, juniperberry oil, tangerine oil, fennel oil, ylang ylang oil, colours 61585 & 18050, twinkling stars

Description: This is the Star-Shaped Jingle Spells that was in the Lush Christmas 2006 gift called “Wishing on a Star”. Same great fruity, fennel Jingle Spells scent. Still helps in time of too much partying.

Notes: See Jingle Spells (star-shaped)

Wizard

See my tub demo video below

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.

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.

Jingle Spells bath bb, Jingle Jelly, Mafic of Christmas FUN bar, Wizard bubble bar.

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.

Potion

4 out of 5 rating

Lush Times 2005 description: Potion smells of roses and tangerines but mostly of carnations. We’ve been asked to bottle the scent and sell it as a perfume but until that happens, the best way to smell of Potion is to smooth this wonderful lotion all over your body. This has the added advantage of moisturizing your skin with a light touch of almond oil and cocoa butter, softening it with rose petal infusion and toning it with fresh tangerine. Take it on holiday as an after sun too.

Scent family includes Santa Monica bath bomb, Ruby Red Slippers bubble bar, Potion perfume Holiday bubble bar, and “Oops Almond Kisses’ moisturizer.

 

Review: Potion is lighter and the carnations smell kind of spicy like cloves and then there’s the addition of the tangerine and is one of the sexiest summer scents. I advise you to find some. Carnation is great.

Ingredients: Rose Petal Infusion (Rosa centifolia), Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Glycerine, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, Fresh Tangerines (Citrus reticulata), Rose Absolute (Rosa centifolia), Carnation Absolute (Dianthus carophyllus), Tangerine Oil (Citrus reticulata), Cetearyl Alcohol, Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

Carnations. 

Honey Lumps

4 out of 5 rating

See the video i made of Honey Lumps below.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate , Citric Acid , Honey, Tangerine Oil, Myrrh Resinoid, Benzoin Resinoid, Limonene , Perfume * Occurs naturally in essential oils.

Review: Honey Lumps is lovely. It is quite similar to the “Honey Comfort” ballistic. Itsnot the same scent as Honey I Washed the Kids. If you liked B Never shower gel or the Honey Waffle soap, then you’ll probably like Honey Lumps as well, it has the same scent. Maybe a bit more orange citrus in it but very close. It’s honeyish and sweet.

I like this just as much as the current Honey Bee ballistic that Lush makes but The two are different, Honey Bee and Honey Lumps don’t smell the same. Honey Lumps ballistics has more of a true honey smell. I miss the scent of my lovely B Never gel, and this is the next best thing.

One tip; make sure the bath water isn’t tepid, make sure it’s nice and warm/hot because you want the honey gobs to melt in the bath water. Yummy….

Lush site description: Sweet oranges, tangerine and lemon essential oils & a gleaming golden glow to put a smile on your face.

This is like swimming in orange juice, real orange juice not fake neon orange smelling and orange colored drink. It’s seemed to be almost thick and rich with ochre colored shimmer. It makes very fragrant water. The bar is an ochre color throughout. There is a lot of glitter left in the tub after the water has drained. It looks like tan colored sand but if you look closer and in the light, it’s all golden glitter. So pretty.

Here’s what the water looked like

I give this a 5 out of 5 rating.
