Violet Cream

Violet Cream bubble bars

This is a new bubble bar for Mother’s Day 2021. Mother’s Day comes earlier in Europe than it is here in the U.S.

I think that, because of the remarkable design of it, and the lovely sweet violet scent, this is one of the best bubble bars Lush has made in years.

It’s a regular squishy bubble bar, not a reusable.

It’s just like a cream violet, it’s even got some cream in the middle.

Even though there is a mesmerizing green-blue colored glitter on the outside, this bar doesn’t make glittery water, in case you were curious.

Thi bar is worthy of my buying six more of them.

I’ll keep them in my dark closet or my dark lingerie drawer so the color stays as long as possible and i’ll keep them in something air tight so they don’t harden up.

These are only available for a limited time basis, just for Mother’s Day 2021.

This bubble bar makes lots of creamy bubbles.

Lush How to use suggestions:
Crumble under running water and allow the uplifting violet and bergamot scented bubbles to build on top of skin-softening lilac waters.
Smell familiar? This bubble bar shares a scent with our Daddy-o shampoo and conditioner range.

Lush How to store suggestions:
Like any soft-centred treat, keep cool and dry until the moment of indulgence and feel good knowing the rose absolute is sourced from our regenerative rose projectin Pakistan.

Bathos

See my 4 minute tub demo video below

Roses are red, violets suit you

Sink into the lilac-hued waters of this floral classic. Posies of violet and spicy clove fragrance and soften your skin. The Ancient Greeks used violets in love potions and considered it a symbol of fertility and love – why not be seduced by this sweet, purple bath?

Before this bubble bar existed there was a liquid bubbke bath called Bathos which had the same scent as the bubble bar that came later but the liquid one was dark green. And before that they had a bath bomb called Bathosphere around 1999 or so which was green and had the same scent.

You’ll love this if you like:

– Swirly purple-hued baths that smell like violet flavoured sweets.

– The scent of Daddy-O shampoo, Sugar Daddy-O solid conditioner, or Kerbside Violet perfume. – Taking time to appreciate the small, fleeting moments in life.

Benefits:

– Violet leaf has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects on the skin.

– The scent of violets help to settle your mood and mind, aiding restful sleep.

– Ylang ylang oil helps to reassure and uplift, leaving you feeling happy and carefree.

How to use: Crumble under running water to fill your bath with purple rain and fluffy white bubbles. How to store: Keep in a cool, dry place to keep this potent bubble bar ultra-violet.

The classic spicy “Bathos” bubble bar gives great looking, deep purple water. It has the strong scent of sweet violets and spicy cloves. Barthes is VERY fragrant.  There’s also a teeny bit of dark green glitter on the top. This bubble bar can stand alone without being combined with anything, however, if one wanted a violet theme you could use a violety “Ne Worry Pas” ballistic, wash my hair with the violet smelling “Daddyo”, rub some “Choco La La” massage bar on, and condition my hair with “Retread”.

Lush has made a liquid Bathos bubble bath in the past. It’s green. I’ll add that to my blog tomorrow.

Sometimes I like to go the “all purple” route,  too and have Bathos with a Lush Jingle Spells  bath bomb or a Lush Blackberry Bomb.

By the way, here’s a picture of a Bathos that is 5 years old. The dates on the wrapper there http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/lush-a-lot/lush%20products/Lushbatho1.jpg I found it at the bottom of one of my lush tupperware tubs.

Lush made a liquid Bathos bath foam previous to it becoming this purple bubble bar slice. It was a green bath foam, not purple like the bubble bar. Here’s a picture of the Bathos Bath Foam: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/lush-a-lot/LushBathosbathfoamsml-1.jpg

Here’s a demo video i made
 

Lush Times 2006 Description: If you prefer to keep your bath to yourself and wouldn’t dream of allowing anyone else anywhere near the bathroom when you’re in there naked, please don’t allow the following suggestion to detract from your enjoyment of a bubbly, mauve Bathos bath. If you prefer to share your bath for reasons of ecological soundness or just plain fun, then Bathos is absolutely ideal! We make it with some of most sensual, relaxing essential oils on the planet, including lots of violet leaf which is reputed to help people remember why they got together in the first place. Don’t put one of these in the bath in the morning on a workday. Save it for later.

Purple Loosestrife

5 out of 5 rating. See my recorded sink demo below!

Here’s what the gold in the middle looks like

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.

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.

Lush Times: GRAB YOUR PARTNER…It has a soothing extract of fresh rose petals, moisturising cocoa and shea butters, and a seductive violet scent that flirts with sensuality. It’s a massage experience that will do all the work for you. Grab the bar, dim the lights, and tuca tuca! After the song inspired such raucous enthusiasm, it seemed almost absurd not to have a Tuca Tuca Massage Bar to get people touching each other.

Ne Worry Pas

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Soya Milk, Perfume, Bergamot Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Cedarwood Oil, *Limonene, *Linalool, Titanium Dioxide.

2006 Review: What a lovely smelling ballistic. It’s so violet-y and pretty but not too strong a violet. I love the shiny satin-like purple stuff in the middle, great color. It made kind of a sandy colored water with such a creamy consistency.

Reminds me of a milk bath. Must be because Lush puts soy milk in this.

If you combine this with a Bathos bubble bar which is purple, and has violet oil in it, that would be a great pairing. Maybe wash you hair with some violet-y Lush DaddyO shampoo, and then a light spritz of Lush “V” perfume should send you on your way to Violet Valhalla. I think this could be a classic Lush bomb.

2015 Review:  I like this as much as i liked it when it came out originally.  It’s a milky violet and it’s a slow, silent fizzer, it’s just lovely. A milky color with the little purple dot of color adding a last minute drop of color in the middle of all the creamy white color.

Lush 2006 description: You can just imagine the looks on the faces of all the Lush ballistic makers when they found out that as well as stirring the mixture, scooping it out and putting it into the two halves of the mold, that they also had to put in a miniscule magic grotto into each one! Fortunately, as Ne Worry Pas is scented with soothing bergamot oil and jasmine essential oils they’ll be smiling despite themselves. The plan is this: take your Ne Worry Pas, whisper your worries into the grotto, then let them fizz away into the milky (soya) bath water. After a lovely refreshing bath, they’ll disappear down the plughole forever!

Here’s a video i made of what Ne Worry Pas looks like in the tub for you 🙂

Divination

5 out of 5 rating

Violet, Patchouli, Rose, Thyme.

A Reusable bubble bar in a divining pendulum shape. How cool this idea. I think this is one of my favorite new products.  It’s purple, but covered in a Coppery shimmer. It smells of lovely violet floral with a touch of thyme and patchouli.  It mostly smells of violet.

 

Here’s a youtube video i made of what the Divination reusable bubble bar looks like in the bath.

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t Rain On My Parade

4 out of 5 rating. See my Demo Video BelowOne 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.

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.

similar to Ultraviolet but sweeter like their “Tuca Tuca” massage bar, and ‘Violet Nights’ bath oil.

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.

 

 

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 🙂

Bathosphere

This was the first producct that Lush had made with the “Bathos” fragrance.  Violet and clove.  It was green.   Years later Lush made a green liquid “Bathos” bubble bath. A couple of years later Lush made the purple bubble bar called “Bathos”.

No picture but Bathospere was a green ballistic.

Vegan

1998 This was a Lush ballistic that was made because of a user contest in which each person submitted a “colour therapy” ballistic idea. Bathosphere won, so did Waving Not Drowning. I believe this was a violet ballistic. (Bathos-sphere)

Violet Nights bath oil

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

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’s a Video of Violet Nights that i made on my YouTube channel, go forward to 13:40
