Don’t Rain On My Parade

4 out of 5 rating. See my Demo Video Below

I got the smaller bottle in this top pic from buying the Lush Kitchen subscription box.

This extra large bottle i got from Oxford Street superstore in London.

One of four Lush shower gels which came here to North America a year after debuting at the first Lush Superstore Oxford Street in London England in 2014. These four shower gels including Lord of Misrule, Don’t Rain on my Parade, Beautiful, and Wash that Man Out of My Hair.

Two of these are actually renamed shower gels from the Lush sister company ‘B Never Too Busy To Be beautiful’ shop in England.

Beautiful is ‘1000 Kisses Deep’ scent.

Wash That Man Right out of My Hair is the ‘Cocktail’ scent.

This Don’t Rain on My Parade below shower gel is a teal, blue colour. Scented with blueberry juice, vanilla, cassie, voilet leaf, ylang ylang and sandalwood. It’s sweet and floral and good.

I poured it on a white plate so you can see the color.

similar to Ultraviolet but sweeter. It’s the same scent as their “Tuca Tuca” massage bar, and ‘Violet Nights’ bath oil. Except with this shower gel they do add blueberry juice, but it doesn’t change the scent much.

250g (8oz) £9.50 (17.50)

Here’s a “family reunion portrait” of all the Lush products throughout the years which have this same scent, including the large sized wash card in the back. Its a wash card/paper soap.

the front two called ultraviolet arent in this scent family but all the others are.

 

 

Here’s a video i made of it where i discuss the scent of Don’t Rain on my Parade and the other two shower gels in more detail 🙂

Monsters and Aliens

Green, red and purple.  5.oo gpb / $7.70

 

Made with the popular Lush “Lord of Misrule” scent; vanilla, black pepper and patchouli.

This fun bar was made to smell like the Lush ‘Lord of Misrule’ bath bomb. Lush has also made a Lord of Misrule shower cream, another Fun multi-purpose bar called Mind the Gap-Lord of Misrule fun bar, a square “Rough With the Smooth” cocoa butter body scrub, and a Lord of Misrule perfume.

Here’s a collaboration video i made showing the various ways to use the fun bar.

Bombardino

5 out of 5 rating. See the tub demo video below

It smells like butterscotch, or a toffee crunch bar. Inspired by the popular Italian ski resort drink, there’s no need to have been on the slopes to enjoy. Just run the bath, drop in and sink into golden lustre-topped waters.

This was SO good.  Every Lushie i know, LOVES the Bombardino.  It’s so scrummy smelling, it makes me want to eat it.  A carmel custard sort of smell.

It’s smaller than regular but it makes up for it with the Scrummy scent and the way it looks like melting ice cream and the gold powder.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cocoa Butter, Soya Milk Powder, Perfume, Radiant Gold Lustre, Bergamot Oil, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Fair Trade Vanilla Absolute, Cornflour, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Titanium Dioxide, Gardenia Extract, *Limonene, *Linalool,Colour 19140:1, Colour 19140, Snowflake Lustre, Dairy Free Chocolate Drops

Lush Description: Sit back and relax in a bath of creamy Alpine indulgence. With skin-softening cocoa butter and uplifting Sicilian lemon oil.This little fellow takes his inspiration from an apres ski drink traditionally made in the Italian Alps with eggnog, brandy and whipped cream. Our version of the Bombardino is just as rich and creamy, smelling like a lemon meringue pie. With added cocoa butter to soften your bath water, Bombardino will leave your skin feeling silky and soothed.

The glitter 😍

Here’s a YouTube video that i made of it in the tub.

 

 

Violet Nights bath oil

4 out of 5 rating for the purple versions i tried below throughout the years.

2.5 out of 5 for This latest version that i bought from lush. It was NOT like the ones i have pictured below. This new one that we bought for the May subscription box is the ugliest color. Its a red/green or brown green color. I put some in a glass for the picture. What happened?! It also has more of a bitter note to it. Maybe i just got a bad bottle or it was a bad batch. It still has the violet notes in it, its just theres an extra note in here that ttpically isn’t.

See my video demo of the Violet nights bath oil below.

Viilet nights is a thin, purple liquid that turns milky white when it hits the water.

Its got a similar scent to Lush’s ‘Tuca Tuca’ perfume. It’s a sweet violet and ylang ylang florals, with some vanilla, vetivert and sandalwood.

I dont particularly like the vetivert in here but im in the minority with that i think.

Violet, sandalwood, vanilla, ylang ylang.

A former ‘Cosmetics To Go’ company product, which Lush introduced back in 2011, and again in the Lush Kitchen in 2014. Lush is making for us once again in Nov 1 2015 in their online Lush Kitchen.

Here is the bottle of Violet Nights from when Lush was called Cosmetics To Go.

In this video below i have a bottle of Violet Nights on my YouTube channel, go forward to 13:40

All That Jas

3 out of 5

2006 LT description: All That Jasmine is a shamelessly sexy bath bomb disguised as an innocuous pastel green colored ball with an innocent, little sugar flower on top but once it hits the water it starts to work its wicked ways.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Perfume, Styrax Resinoid (Storax), Vetivert Oil (Vetiveria zizanoides), Candy Flowers, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), FD&C Blue No. 1, Jasmine Oil (Jasminum officinale), Vanillin.

Review: Only available in Lush North America, the UK Lush Kitchen remade this for one day only.  I always loved this one as it has lovely jasmine, but with the additional of vanilla.  Historically there was’t any jasmine blends with anything other than vetivert, so the vanilla is a lovely smooth companion for the jasmine in this bomb.  While All That Jas has no glitter as in Lush’s other Jasmine ballistic “Fairy Jasmine“, it has a gorgeous green color that you can’t find in any other Lush bath ballistic.

Here’s a short video i made for you to see what it looks like the bath. Be advised, the video has it twice, so you only have to watch half of the video.

 Ingredients: Vetivert Oil, Candy Flowers, Gardenia Extract, Jasmine Oil, Vanillin.

Abombinaball bath bomb

5 out of 5 rating

mint, vanilla and orange

See my demo video below of the gorgeous glitter Abombinaball bath bomb makes in the tub.

A play on the words ‘Abominable Snowman’.

A-Bomb-In-A-Ball. 😊

5 out of 5 rating.

Originally made for one year as a limited edition to the public in store and online for Christmas 2010.

Remade in the previous incarnation of the Lush Kitchen in 2016, in a gift set. I have a pic of the gift set attached here.

It’s SO cute, and it has beautiful blue glittery shimmer coating on the outside.

It has its own scent, And it smells yummy of Vanilla, Mint and Orange.

Normally the few couple of times Lush made this bomb it’s been a slow, melty fizzer, but the last time it was voted on for the Lush Kitchen Subscription Box it wasn’t melty, it was more of a ‘gone too quick’ kind of fast fizzer. Yeah, No.

The water turns a gorgeous deep aqua blue with white shimmer glitter.

Lush Uk made an exclusive Abombinaball jelly in the second @lushkitchen Subscription Box in 2021. LOVE it.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Peppermint Oil,Vanilla Absolute, Sweet Orange Oil, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamide DEA,Lauryl Betaine, Propylene Glycol, Perfume,*Limonene, *Linalool,Titanium Dioxide, Colour 42090, Colour 45350,Glacier Blue Lustre

Lush Times Magazine description: Our big, shy snow monster ballistic, with a scent of peppermint oil, vanilla absolute and orange oil. Abombinaball snowmen are rare and exotic ballistics. They don’t hang around for long, so snap one up whilst you can. Our little icy friend will come out to play any time you choose to have a bath.

Review:  I love Abombinaball.  It’s a creamy vanilla mint fragrance.  It’s comforting, not too bracingly minty, but a touch of mint, making it more ‘yum’ than ‘pow!’  He gets additional praise from me just for being so cute.  As you all know, i’m a sucker for special shaped bath bath bombs from Lush.  The water is a gorgeous blue green.  As it melts the bit of yellow mixes with the blue, and the sparkles are gorgeous!

Here’s a video i made of the Abombinaball in the tub, showing the sparkly little guy in the tub. 😊

He’ll erupt in your bathwater first in a burst of golden yellow that leaves your bathwater an electric green.  He then evades capture as he goes around your bath fizzing and giving off puffs of fine white foam.  Just when you think you’ve worked out what he is and where he’s coming from, he suddenly lets off jets of blue slipstream and makes haste across your bath, suddenly disappearing from wherever it was he came.  Leaving you soaking in a delicately scented, alpine green bath and wishing and hoping that you get to see him again one day soon. Capture yourself a few before they vanish again.
