Tuca Tuca

This has the same scent as the Lush shower gel called don’t rain on my parade

Ingredients: Cocoa Butter , Shea Butter , Perfume, Fresh Rose Petal Extract , Cassie Absolute , Vanilla Absolute , Sandalwood Oil , Vetivert Oil , Violet Leaf Absolute , Ylang Ylang Oil  *Benzyl Salicylate, *Cinnamal, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Geraniol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Farnesol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Titanium Dioxide,Colour 77019, Colour 77007

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.

It’s the same scent as Lush ‘Violet Nights’ bath oil

Everything in my picture below, except the ultraviolet bubble bar and the kerbside violet perfume are in the same scent family as tuca tuca.

Bada Bing Bada Boom

Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerine, Red Wine, Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), Rose Petal (Rosa centifolia) and Lavender (Lavandula hybrida) Infusion, Propylene Glycol, Fresh Rose Petal Infusion (Rosa centifolia), Perfume, Carrageenan Extract, Synthetic Musk, Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum officinale), Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), White Wine Vinegar, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Linalool, *Limonene, Methylparaben. * Occurs naturally in essential oils

Lush.a.Lot’s Review: This was the shower jelly made which smells like the “Sex Bomb” ballistic. It’s a heady floral scented jelly.

Lush Times 2005 description: Bada Bing Bada Boom Shower Jelly is the ultimate in cold showers. Its sensual scents (the same essential oils as Sex Bomb) are blended with red wine and an infusion of rose petals, soothing lavender and stimulating thyme herb. Grab the Bada Bing from the freezer, clean your body with its cool lather and inhale the calming (aphrodisiac) jasmine, ylang ylang and clary sage perfumes. That should work just nicely.

Here’s a demo and review video i made of this jelly

Jungle Jelly

Ingredients: Fresh Kumquat infusion (fortunella japonica), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Perfume, Carageenan extract, Ylang Ylang Oil, (Cananaga odirata), Vetivert Oil (Vetiveria izanoides), Cypress Oil, (Cupressus sempervirens), Sandalwood Oil (Santalum album), *Limonene, Linalool, Colour 45350, Coulour 77891, gardenia Extract (Gardenia Jasminoides), Methylparaben *Occurs naturally in essential oils.

This is a bright clear green and a lighter, opaque green, swirled jelly. It has the scent of Lush’s “Jungle” solid hair conditioner. This is one of the few jellies in which the scent does last on the skin. I like this jelly quite a bit. I always liked the scent of Jungle but could never get the hang of how to apply it in my tangled hair so this Jungle Jelly is a much better method to get that great earthy, dark green Jungle scent.

 

Lush Description: Relaxing Shower jelly to lead you serenly through the tangled Jungle of life. Freeze it, chill it, or use it at bathroom temperature. Crush or stroke it all over your body and hair, lather and rinse out.

Flying Saucers

 4 out of 5 rating

Lush made a liquid bubble bath first, then the Flying Saucers solid bubble bar, and lastly the Flying Saucers shower gel.

This has a very sweet honey smell with some ylang ylang floral.

Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream Of Tartar (Tartaric Acid), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Honeycomb, Cocamide DEA, Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga Odorata), Palmarossa Oil (Cymbopogan Martini), Vetivert Oil (Vetiveria Zizanoides), Cypress Oil (Cupressus Sempervirens), Benzoin Resinoid (Styrax Benzoin), Perfume.

Lush Times: For body and emotional soothing bath of bubbles. Feeling, low, tired, depressed, angry, tearful? Put down that sharp instrument, run yourself a hot bath with lots of Flying saucers.
Bathe, Breathe, and repeat as necessary.

Review. This was a LushUK special in 2005.

Lush had a double meaning for the name. Originally it was referring to when we have PMS and maybe our partner is pissing us off, so we throw a small plate (saucer) at them. Flying Saucer.

This smells exactly like Lush’s Flying Saucersbubble bar. It smells of herbally honey, cypress and ylang ylang. It’s very strong, and some folks don’t like the scent of the cypress in it. I love it though, I use it in the bath as well. The FS shower gel is thicker than the FS bath foam. It’s a proper shower gel consistency. The scent of this Flying Saucers shower gel stays on the skin longer than average. I give this 4 stars.

Hot Java

3 out of 5 ratingIngredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cinnamon Sticks, Perfume, Ginger Oil, Cinnamon Powder, Ginger Powder, Coriander Oil, Ginger Absolute, Ylang Ylang Oil, Juniperberry Oil, Gardenia Extract, D&C Red No. 33

This is/was Lush’s spicy bath bomb in 2004 and it smells like clove, cinnamon, and ginger. It’s a good staple ballistic for the cold weather months.  To me It needed some depth. It was very acidic, and astringent, like tea is.  It’s more bitter then i would’ve imagined. I just wish it could’ve been sweeter, just a teeny weeny bit.  There is cinnamon bark in the bomb which drift around in the water but Hot Java isn’t spicy as Lush’s “Marathon” bubble bar, or Hot Toddy, which were spicier.After I used my five up, I never bought one again.
Hot Java was DCd in 2007. It was in regular production for about 1 1/2 years.

LushHotJava

Lush Times 2006 description: Jump into a Hot Java bath every time you need warming up. It’s for cold days . so that’s most of them . or days when you’ve got a cold or when you.ve been out in the cold and need warming up right through. It’s good for when you’re feeling creaky after exercising too. Run a warm bath, drop in the Hot Java and let the spices soak right in. There’s warming ginger oil, warming ginger powder and some warming ginger absolute too. Very warm! Powdered cinnamon is traditionally used to relieve aches, ylang ylang relaxes your muscles and juniper berry oil is said to help relieve stiff joints. A week in the tropics would be lovely but a Hot Java will do nicely.

There are all kinds of tiny pieces of cinnamon stick all over the tub. If you dont like bits in your bath i recommend putting this bsth bomb in a kitchen strainer and then hold the strainer in the falling water stream. No bits this way.

This is fast fizzing bomb. It dissolves quickly.

The resulting water is a dark coral color.

Tropical Jungle

2 out of 5 rating.

This is a woody, green forest-y, floral .

This lotion was made as an exclusive, in the same scent and ingredients as the popular Lush solid hair conditioner ‘Jungle’

The lotion was the third of seven exclusive Lush product to be made with the Jungle scent

While i love the Jungle scent, this lotion wasn’t quite what i was hoping for. It’s got the slightly sweet note that the other jungle products have, so this lotions scent seems flat. Also, it’s very greasy. I had to wipe my arms and hands off with a towel because after 40 minutes my hands and arms were still greasy and it got all over the table, my camera, my phone, and anything i touched.

No.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Glycerine, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), Vetivert Oil (Vetiveria zizanoides), Cypress Oil (Cupressus sempervirens), Cedarwood Oil (Juniperus virginiana), Cetearyl Alcohol, *Limonene, *Linalool, *Coumarin, *Cinnamal, Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.
* Occurs naturally in essential oils Vegan

I also have a Jungle hair conditioner, jungle liquid perfume, jungle jelly, a rare “Lushfest 2012′ Jungle massage bar, and a rare Lushfest 2012 jungle tree soap. I’ll have pages of these individual items as well, eventually.

Here’s a video i did of it
