Twilight bath bomb

5 out of 5

Lush introduced this bath bomb around 2008 or 2009. That’s when i had my first Twilight bomb. The name comes from the time there was a very popular new movie called ‘Twilight’.

When Lush first made their Twilight bath bomb it was very popular with Lushies, and its maintained the same popularity ever since.

Not only does it look like the night sky (twilight) with stars and moons on the outside of the bomb, it also makes two different colors in the tub as it dissolves; pink and blue, but it also has a beautiful silver shimmer in the water. The blue and pink eventually mix in the water to become a lavender color.

Then there is the scent. Its a genius mix of bright herbal fragrance of lavender which promotes relaxation and sleep but there is also Tonka bean which smells similar to vanilla bean but tonka is more of a caramely scent. Then lastly there is the lovely floral notefrom the ylang ylang flower. The twilight fragrance is only subtley sweet and comforting.

Its such a gorgeous scent that Lush has used in many other products that i’ll list below which they have made. I also show these products in my scent family photos below.

Lush has recently (in 2020) changed the name from Twilight to ‘Sleepy’. The reason they changed it may have somethibg to do with the movie’s copyright s.

But the President/CEO of Lush said that sleepy is the same scent as twilight, only the name has changed.

Lush Times: Everyone seems to be in love with twilight at the moment. Whether it’s the film series or that enchanting period betwixt day and night, we can’t work it out. If you’re stressed out and feeling like a member of the un-dead, this relaxing ballistic will stake all of your troubles and scatter them to the winds with scents of lavender and Ovaltine.

Sleep massage bar

See my Demo Vid below

I rub some on my forearms every night before bed and it smells like Heaven.

sleep

“Relax into a creamy Sleepy-scented massage, with chamomile essence water and super absorbent marula oil for soft skin. Better sleep and less stress are both associated with a regular rub-down. Why not team with the rest of the Sleepy family?”

I’m in total love with this new bar. It has everything we like about the Sleepy/Twilight scent, but turned up. The bar really brings out its creamy, sweet quality. I love it when a Lush scent meets the perfect product for it, so that it becomes the best way that the scent can possibly smell. 👍🏼

From Lush Oxford Street. All of the Lush massage bars have been redesigned a wee bit.

How to use:
Think of this as a solid massage oil, the butters and oils are designed to melt at body temperature so hold the bar between your hands to start melting before gliding over your skin, or someone else’s…

How to store:
Keep this cool and dry, the ideal place is a Lush tin until you are ready to indulge in a home spa treatment, or your skin is in need of a boost of hydration.

Melt warning:
This product is made with ingredients that allow it to soften around body temperature. During hot spells, it may melt. If you have any concerns please contact Customer Care.

Sleepy Dusting powder and fairy Dust powder

4 out of 5 rating for both. See my demo video of them below.

This year Lush deconstructed the snow fairy sparkle jar and the twilight sparkle jars from last year and made two dusting powders and 2 sparkly highlighters instead.

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

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. And Sleepy dust has the same scent as Sleepy shower gel and Twilight shower gel. Lavender, creamy oat milk, tonka and ylang ylang. Lavender to promote sleep.

One year onjy lush put The Sleepy Dust inside a hollowed out massage bar, which had a few shaker holes. They called it a ‘Sparkle Jar’.

Here is a pic of one of mine

Both have a sparkle to them. Theyre both strongly scented too!

The Sleepy Dust powder used to be called ‘Mr Sandman’ its in my photo below.

I sprinkle the powder anywhere on my body that i wanr 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, especoally sleepy. Its lavender scent is nice to smell as im drifting off to sleep.

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.

Sleepy shower gel

5 out of 5 rating
See my 5 minute demo video below

£19.95 520g (converted to $26.01)

this is a lighter purple, creamier version of previous years ‘Twilight’ shower gel. Lush had to change the name.
Sleepy gel has added oat milk which helps to make it a more opaque appearance.

There is no sparkle in this shower gel.

it smells exactly like the Twilight i know and love. it has the same lavender oil, ylang ylang and tonka base.

Again this year lush has made a naked or solid containerless version of Sleepy shower gel.

i enjoy the different look to this shower gel.
oat milk helps soothe itchy raw or sore skin.

Sleep, drift to sleep,
Sweet tonka counts the sheep,
Lavender shakes the dreamland tree,
And from it fall sweet dreams for thee.

After a long day, relax into a soothing, softening wash of oat milk and carrageenan extract. If sleep eludes you, the sheep keep escaping or sweet dreams are feeling distant, shower with calming lavender flower infusion and lavender oil to ensure you sleep tight. Ylang ylang oil washes away worries and allows you to sink into bedtime, or start your day, with serenity.

Here is a short video i recorded close up sink demo of sleepy shower gel.

Sleepy shower bomb

Wow. I’m going to give this a 5 out of 5.

Its not gimmicky, its a creamy foam consistency.

I pressed very hard on it when it was wet and it didn’t budge.  It’s not a ‘smooshy’ consistency. It’s firm, but what comes off of it slowly is foam.  It’s kind of like washing with the foam of a bath bomb, one of the creamier frothier bath bombs though.

This is nothing like their body conditioners, there’s no slippery, or goopy stuff in here.  No cocoa butter,  no oils.

Nor is this at all like their naked shower gels.

It doesn’t feel like it has cocoa butter in it (it doesn’t), and it smells good. It’s not too faint of a scent, but its not necessarily the strongest scented product either.

Its made with the Twilight scent.

It seems like one could certainly get multiple showers with this.  At LEAST two, maybe more.

I do a wet demo of this in my video below both in the shower and at the sink.

Fun With a Twist

5 out of 5 rating

They made it out of two favorite bath bombs; “Dragon’s Egg” (the orange twist) and “Twilight” (the purple twist).  The citrus with the tonka and lavender is sooo good.  Who knew these two scents would be so wonderful together.  You can also use just the purple piece or just an orange piece to have a purple or orange colored bubble bar.

Here’s my scent family photo

To me this is Lush being innovative. Not that a Fun bar is an entirely new product but up until the creation of this FWAT Fun Bar all the Lush FUN bars were one solid color and one scent.

It worked SO well in this product. Nice Lush! 👏🏼

Lush Kitchen online made this special FUN bar exclusive which isn’t made or sold anywhere on line or in stores to the public.

Heres a video of it
