Time To Create Some Bad Romance In The Bath | Lush Products That I Associate With Lady Gaga

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I am sure that you are aware by now that  Lady Gaga has released a brand new album this week titled Mayhem and I thought that I would cause my own mayhem and create a blog post all about the products from Lush that make me think of Gaga whether these are things I associate with Gaga or products that I think would fit with her songs or albums. (This post isn’t including Mayhem but I may do another one in the future that focuses more on Mayhem and Lush products). 

Black Rose Bath Bomb 

Bad Romance is one of Lady Gaga’s well known songs and when I think of Bad Romance I kind of think of  Roses because well I associate black with being dark and roses with romance.  

This Bath Bomb contains Pakistani Rose Absolute, Rose Oil, Geranium Oil and Sicilian Lemon Oil. 

Black Rose shares the same scent as Rose Jam which smells like an intense yet decadent sweet rose scent with a citrus kick to it. Mix this scent with the dark deep colours that explode out of the bath bomb and into the waters and you’ve got the perfect bath bomb to blast Bad Romance with and have a self care evening. 

Love Perfume

A perfect scent to wear before you tell someone that you want their stupid love. I know that this is an obvious one but I think that Love goes perfectly with Stupid Love. 

This perfume contains Ylang Ylang Absolute and Oil, Rose Absolute,  Bergamot Oil, Jasmine Absolute and Lemongrass which combine to create a truly heady scent that reminds me of comforting Apple Pie with a slightly sultry bright floral twang to it. 

This is going to sound a bit weird but this kind of screams Stupid Love to me because I feel that within society we have to stick to certain fragrances when it comes to romance and gift giving which is stupid in itself to stick to what society dictates us that we should be doing a specific thing for a specific emotion rather than choosing slightly more niche or different scents which still evoke the same emotion but in a different and maybe unconventional way such as Love from Lush which makes me feel comforted and loved in a different way than a pure true and heady floral fragrance does.  

Magik 

Magik is a range of its own but I think regarding Gaga I want to focus mainly on the Bath Bomb and Massage Bar. 

Gaga has discussed in many interviews and other platforms that she suffers from fibromyalgia and chronic pain and Magik definitely helps with when you’re feeling in pain and needing to relax. 

Magik Bath Bomb contains Epsom Salt, Chamomile Blue Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute, Ylang Ylang Absolute, CBD and Shittake Mushroom Powder. 

This bath bomb contains 64,000mg of Epsom Salts which are used to help relax the body alongside CBD whilst the plethora of oils create a slightly smoky deep floral scent that just helps to relax you. I think that Gaga would love using this for when she is in a flare up. 

The Massage Bar contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Calamine Powder, Moringa Oil,  Fair Trade Shea Butter, Ashwagandha Root and Ginseng Root Infusion, Illipe Butter, Fresh Shittake Mushroom and CBD alongside Chamomile Blue Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute, Ylang Ylang Absolute The massage bar also contains 

The plethora of beautiful butters will help to make Gaga’s skin feel smooth and supple whilst the CBD, Ginseng and Ashwagandha will help Gaga to feel relaxed. I can also see her using this after a long day of rehearsals or straight after a performance. Who knows, she could even take this on the road when she is on tour and have an instant hit of relaxation. 

Vegan Leather Jacket Perfume

If anything is the scent that reminds me of the Born This Way era from Lady Gaga then it is Vegan Leather Jacket from Lush. 

Vegan leather Jacket contains Clove Bud Oil, Vetivert Oil, Tonka Absolute and Tobacco Absolute. These oils combine to create a truly smoky fragrance that is out of this world. The best way to describe this as a fragrance is to imagine the smell of a post motorbike race in the middle of Autumn near a venue that has had fireworks going off or somewhere that has just burnt wood for an outdoor fire whilst someone is watching and drinking a spicy cocktail. 

All of this screams Born This Way to me and honestly if Lush had created this fragrance during the era roll out I feel that Gaga would have bathed in it. (Side note Lush if you’re listening, please do more with the Vegan Leather Jacket scent). If you have this fragrance then I urge you to blast the BTW album especially songs like Heavy Metal Lover and spritz a tiny bit of this beautiful biker inspired fragrance on. 

Intergalactic Shower Gel

Yes this is a bit of an on the nose one but I couldn’t write this post and not mention Intergalactic being the perfect scent family to use whilst blasting Venus or honestly just singing your way through the whole ARTPOP Album.

Intergalactic contains Fresh Mint Infusion, Fine Sea Salt, Peppermint Oil, Grapefruit Oil, Vetivert Oil and Sandalwood Oil. This blend of oils will definitely set you up for a day of being creative. That blast of Peppermint and Grapefruit will definitely make you feel like you’re about to blast off to Venus. 

I absolutely adore Intergalactic and make sure to have Venus on the mix when I’m using Intergalactic.  If you wanted to, you could always use the Glitter Spray for that extra minty boost and a bit of sparkle. (Just an idea for if Lady Gaga announces a tour surrounding Mayhem and you’re unsure on what to smell like)… 

Birth Of Venus Jelly Mask 

Following on from Intergalactic and Venus, I can’t really mention Venus by Lady Gaga ans not mention Birth Of Venus Jelly Face Mask. 

This Jelly Face Mask contains Kaolim, Glycerine, Sea Water, Lavender Absolute, Chamomile Blue Oil, Olibanum Oil, Myrrh Resinoid, Carrageenan  Extract and Rose Petal Infusion. 

Jelly Face Masks used to be a very big thing at Lush back in the day and Lush have decided to bring one back as part of their Retro Wall. This Jelly Face Mask contains Rose and Lavender which will help to calm and soothe irritated skin. The Myrrh and Olibanum add a slightly woody aquatic scent alongside the floral notes of Rose and Lavender. One sniff of this and you will feel like you’ve been transported to a tropical oasis. 

Tank Battle Perfume

I can’t explain this one at all but the smell of Tank Battle just kind of screams Lady Gaga a bit to me and honestly I think if you wear Tank Battle you may have people screaming the talented, amazing, brilliant meme at you. 

Tank Battle contains  Labdanum Resinoid, Patchouli Oil, Clove Bud Oil. These combine to create a truly unique scent. Lush do describe the scent of Tank Battle being a mix of bubblegum and the smell of rain and I think that kind of sums up Lady Gaga as a vibe a bit… the mix of bright sweet bubblegum mixed with the deep earthy smell of petrichor that has elements of smoky Patchouli to it. Bright mixed with dark to create a beautiful creation. If you haven’t smelt Tank Battle from lush then I urge you to and let me know if you get the same sort of vibe from the fragrance. 

Beauty Sleep 

Gaga definitely needs something to help after being on a heavy journey of buses, no sleep, plane, another bus and so forth… 

Beauty Sleep contains Lemon verbena and Valeroan Rott extracted in Honey, Kaolin, Mullein Leaf and Linseed Decoction, Ground Organic Aduki Beans, Organic Orange Blossom Honey Water, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Orange Flower Absolute, Neroli Oil, Myrrh Resinoid, Lavender Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Tonka Absolute, Organic Jojoba Oil, Orgajic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fresh Coconut, Organic Avocado Oil, Organic Cold Pressed Evening Primrose Oil, Evening Primrose Seeds, Wheatgerm oil, Fresh Lemon Juice, Fresh Pineapple Juice, Fresh Orange Juice and Organic Cold Pressed Grapeseed Oil. 

There is a lot of ingredients to discuss here however Beauty Sleep contains a lot of ingredients due to it honestly making skin beautiful but also because each pot contains at least a spoonful of Lush’s iconic Gorgeous Moisturiser. 

I think that Gaga would adore this Face and Body Mask because she could whack it on whilst on a bus or a plane but due to its intensive moisturising properties alongside the soothing properties that lie within this face mask due to ingredients such as Lavender which will help to feel a little bit more peaceful even if she is having to go from bus to place then to clubs and then do it all over again.   If you’re looking for a product that will help to nourish your skin but to also help you feel soothed and calm after a week of stress then I do recommend checking Beauty Sleep out. 

Candy Rain 

We all need a good moisturiser for our hair after the rain has fallen on us. 

Honestly most of the times that I have checked that Candy Rain has been at a store when I’ve gone in I’ve sang Rain On Me alongside checking out the product far too many times. More than I would like to admit. I thought that I would also include this product because with all the looks that Gaga stuns us with I’m sure her hair would love some nourishment via Candy Rain. 

Candy Rain contains Cashew Cream, Brazil Nut Milk, Coconut Cream, Macadamia Nut Milk, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Brazil Nut Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Rain Water, Buchu Oil, Tonka Absolute, Cocoa Absolute and Almond Essential Oil. 

This is going to sound slightly bizarre but have you ever smelt or had a Drumstick lollipop? The creamy side of the lollipop is exactly what Candy Rain smells like to me. Creamy which  touch of fruitiness coming from the Buchu which gives off a slightly berry hint to the fragrance. If you have smelt Mrs. whippy from Lush before then Candy Rain shares the same scent as that. 

As this product contains a plethora of nut based milks and creams which help to truly nourish the skin no matter how damaged it is. I think that this is an amazing fit for Gaga due to forever having hair styled and changed for events and shows and so forth. If your hair is on the damaged side and you’re looking for something that will deeply nourish your hair then I urge you to check out Candy Rain and let me know what you think of it if you do!  

Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar. 

This Bubble Bar contains Patchouli Oil, Frankincense Resinoid and Cinnamon Leaf Oil. These three oils blend together to create a truly spicy scent with a touch of sweetness in the background due to the Cinnamon. 

Did you know that this Bubble Bar is inspired by frank Sinatra? Lush back in the day used to sell a Bath Oil called Ol’ Blue Skies and rereleased it as a shower gel as part of their Kitchen Subscription Box? 

If you keep up with everything that Lady Gaga has done over the past few years then you’ll be aware with how much Frank Sinatra has influenced her and that she’s covered songs from him such as New York, New York so it seemed right to include this product. If you enjoy spicy scents then I definitely think that you should give this Bubble Bar a go! 

What products from Lush do you associate with Lady Gaga? Would you like me to publish a post about what fragrances suit each Lady Gaga era? Let me know? 

Thanks for reading!

Are Ewe Ready To Have An Amazing Baath? | Shaun The Sheep X Lush Range

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! The lovely people at Lush have sent me an amazing box of Shaun The Sheep X Lush goodies and I thought that today I would talk to you all about them. 

The Shaun The Sheep X Lush Range is available on the Lush App, website and in stores. 

Shaun The Sheep and Lush have a lot in common. They both turn 30 this year! Shaun made his first appearance in Wallace & Gromit : A Close Suave in 1995 and Lush started creating their iconic cosmetic products in 1996. Lush make their beauty products by hand and Aardman make their characters such as Shaun, Timmy and many more by hand too! 

Shaun The Sheep’s TV series played a big part in my childhood as I came home from school to see what antics Shaun. Timmy and the rest of the gang had gotten up to. 

Shaun The Sheep Bath Bomb

Shaun has appeared to make your bath time a real adventure! 

Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Alcohol Denat., Rose Absolute, Orange Flower Absolute, Lemongrass Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Water (Aqua), Coconut Milk Powder, Titanium Dioxide, Corn Protein, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Cornstarch, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Limonene, Perfume, Colour 77499, Colour 47005, Colour 42090:2, Colour 19140:1, Colour 42090. 

Shaun is here to make baath time a delight! Not only does he look adorable but this bath bomb also contains Coconut Milk Powder, Corn Protein and Extra Virgin Olive Oil which helps to make your skin feel as soft as Shaun does! 

This bath bomb also contains a plethora of beautiful floral oils such as Rose Absolute, Orange Flower Absolute and Jasmine Absolute which blend together to create a soft powdery scent whilst the Lemongrass helps to make everything sing and add a zesty pop of brightness to the bath bomb. This bath bomb shares the same scent as the retro Summer Blues Bath Bomb from Lush! To me, the scent of Shaun reminds me of slightly powdery yet uplifting cotton which feels a bit fitting with this range! If you’re a fan of scents that remind you of Spring or love anything floral then you will definitely love this! I also think any combination of products from this range would make a beautiful gift! 

Sleepy Timmy Bubble Bar 

Timmy is here to help you settle down after a day of mischief! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Lavender Oil, Chamomile Oil, Lavender Absolute, Neroli Oil, Cornstarch, Glycerine, Water (Aqua), Tragacanth Gum, Titanium Dioxide, Alcohol Denat., Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 77499.

This bubble bar contains Lavender Oil, Lavender Absolute, Chamomile Oil and Neroli Oil. This blend of oils creates an absolutely superb soothing scent! Timmy shares the same scent as Deep Sleep from Lush and this specific blend is known to help calm and soothe so you can sleep easier (which trust me I need at the moment). Not only that but Sleepy Timmy also creates black rainbow glittery waters when you use him in the tub. First of all, black rainbow glittery baths are the most me thing that I have ever heard and who doesn’t love the sound of this? I feel like the black rainbow glittery water will help to represent the night sky whilst you relax before going to bed which I love the sound of. As Timmy shares the scent of Deep Sleep, you could use the Deep Sleep Massage Bar afterwards to truly settle down before bed due the Magnesium that’s in the Massage Bar. 

I know some of you may be asking what is the difference between Sleepy and Deep Sleep. Sleepy contains Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Tonka whereas Deep Sleep contains Lavender, Chamomile and Neroli. In my opinion, Sleepy is more of a creamy malty Lavender scent (a bit like what Ovaltine is meant to do in terms of relaxing you before bed but in bath form) whilst Deep Sleep has a more herbal Lavender scent to it. 

This would make an amazing bath time treat for anyone who needs some relaxation in their life! 

Naughty Pigs Shower Jelly 

Ingredients: 

Glycerine, Fresh Carrot Infusion, Propylene Glycol, Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Carrageenan Extract, Perfume, Sand, Titanium Dioxide, Geranium Oil, Grapefruit Oil, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 45410:

This Shower Jelly contains three cute yet naughty pigs that can be used to help you clean after a day of adventure! These pigs contain a plethora of ingredients such as Sand which can be used as a light body exfoliant to help truly get dirt and grime off your body. I tried the sand when I received this box of goodies and honestly I love it you like a light exfoliant such as the Sugar Scrubs from Lush then you will love how the Sand exfoliates your skin!  These pigs contain Geranium Oil, Grapefruit Oil and West Timor Sandalwood Oil which combine to create a very zingy fruity scent that is truly to die for. Naughty Pigs Shower Jelly share the same scent as the Muddy Carrots Soap from Lush. The best way that would describe this scent is to imagine picking Grapefruits off a tree whilst being able to smell the scents of the other trees and plants surrounding you in the farm bottled up into a Shower Jelly. 

If you love cute shaped Shower Jellies or anything that has a fruity scent that reminds you of bright and warm days in the sun then I think that you will adore this! 

Bitzer Body Balm

Bitzer is here to help guide your skin into feeling soft and supple! 

Ingredients: 

Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Cupuaçu Butter, Illipe Butter, Organic Shea Butter, Fair Trade Organic Mango Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, Perfume, Fresh Carrot Juice, Cornstarch, Bergamot Oil, Lime Oil, Violet Leaf Absolute, Gardenia Extract, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral, Limonene, Linalool. 

This Body Balm will definitely become your new best friend! This body balm contains a plethora of beautiful butters which will help to nourish your skin such as Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Cupuaçu Butter, Illipe Butter and Shea Butter. Did you know that Cupuaçu Butter melts at a lower temperature that is nearer to your skins temperature which means that when you glide this on your skin it will only take mere moments for this beautiful body balm to melt on your skin and help to make your skin soft and supple. This Body Balm also contains Bergamot Oil, Lime Oil and Violet Leaf Absolute which blend together to create a truly fruity scent that reminds me of freshly picking berries off a shrub during the height of Summer. If you’re a fan of Lush then you may know the scent of Bitzer via the What’s Up Doc? Shower Gel from a couple of years ago or from the Cheep Cheep Bath Bomb. 

If you’re someone who has loved any of the Body Balms from the other collabs such as the Bee Body Bapm from the Bridgerton collab then I think that you will adore this! I also think that this would be a perfect product to pair with the new Basma Body Scrub or Salam Shower Gel that are a part of the new Eid Range from Lush.  

Troublesome Tractor Soap 

This Soap will help you get out of those messy scrapes!

Ingredients; 

Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil, Water (Aqua), Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Coffee Infusion, Perfume, Clary Sage Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Geranium Oil, Lemon Myrtle Oil, Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Charcoal powder, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Bicarbonate, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 42090. 

If you’re spending all your time on a farm like Shaun and his buddies then you’d need a soap to help you wash off all the muck of the day and that’s exactly what Lush have done with this Troublesome Tractor Soap. 

This soap contains exfoliating wheels that are packed full of Coffee and Charcoal which will help to exfoliate dead skin and will give you a boost to help you get on with your day whilst the rest of the Soap contains a refreshing blend of Clary Sage, Eucalyptus Oil and Lemon Myrtle Oil which combine to create a light yet zingy scent that will make you want to smell your hands all day!

I am a bit dubious when it comes to Eucalyptus scents as my nose tend to get irritated easily if I can smell it in strong doses but I really enjoy it in this soap. It helps to add a sort of watery freshness which compliments the Lemon Myrtle beautifully. 

If you like fresh and zingy scents then I think that you will like this Soap. In a way this soap reminds me of being the cousin of the Outback Mate Soap at Lush so if you love that scent family but want to try something a touch different then I urge you to try this cute Soap. 

Mossy Bottom Body Spray

One spray and you’ll be at Mossy Bottom Farm having lots of fun. 

Ingredients:

Organic Alcohol Denat.,Water, Perfume, Glycerine, Linalool, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Bergamot Oil, Neroli Oil, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Amyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Citronellol, Coumarin, Eugenol, Farnesol, Geraniol, Isoeugenol, Limonene.

We all need a fragrance for when we’re spending all day out and about having fun and Lush have come to the rescue. Not only have Lush created a Body Spray that will compliment you when you’re getting up to all sorts but they have created a Body Spray that will make you feel like you’re a part of the Shaun The Sheep franchise having adventures with Shaun and the rest of the gang. 

(Just to clarify before I talk about Mossy Bottom. The rest of the Shaun The Sheep was kindly sent to me by Lush which I am super thankful for as I love this collaboration range but the Body Spray was not sent to me as part of the gifted items and was purchased by myself).

This body spray contains West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Bergamot Oil and Neroli Oil. This combination of ingredients creates a fragrance that reminds me of the height of Spring enjoying picnics in the garden whilst England is sunny for two days before it rains for the rest of Spring.  This combination of oils creates a fresh green scent that packs a punch. If you have smelt the Grass Shower Gel or Grass Perfume from Lush and adore it then you may be happy to hear that Mossy Bottom shares the same scent. 

I know that for some, this is a love or loathe fragrance but it fits very well into the Shaun the Sheep theme of the range as one spray of this and you will feel that you’re on the farm with Shaun and the gang having the time of your life! 

I’ve worn this a couple of times and honestly I love it. I am super dubious when it comes to green scents. I either love or loathe them but I adore this one. The fragrance is very much a green grassy scent but it has a bit of dimension to it which stops it from being one note. There’s a touch of citrus in there from the Bergamot and a touch of creamy floral from the Neroli which just makes it a fragrance that you keep sniffing. I have sprayed this a couple of times as I have mentioned above and it has lasted all day on me to the point that I’ve been out all day and gotten the train home and wondered if anyone else on the train had just sprayed it and then I realise it’s me. 

If you’re a fan of scents from Lush such as Guardians Of The Forest or Fresh As then I think you should give Mossy Bottom a sniff as you may enjoy it.

Thanks again to the wonderful people at Lush for sending me these baa-rilliant goodies! 

Thanks for reading!

Lush X Community Body Scrubs 2025 Range

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I thought that today I’d talk to you all about the Lush X Community Body Scrubs 2025 Range. 

If you checked out my previous blog post then you’ll know that I have reviewed both The Comforter and Botanomancy Body Scrubs as Lush very kindly sent these for me to test and review. If you haven’t checked that blog post out then please click here. Due to this, in this blog post I’ll be mainly focusing on the rest of the range. 

In the Lush X Community Body Scrubs 2025 Range, there are five beautiful body scrubs. There’s The Comforter, Botanomancy, Creamy Candy, Karma and Posh Chocolate. 

Creamy Candy 

List Of Ingredients: 

Caster Sugar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Almond Oil, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Perfume, Vanilla Absolute, Lactic Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Lauryl Betaine, Alpha-Isomethyl lonone, Colour 45410:2, Colour 17200. 

All of the Lush X Community Body Scrubs have a Caster Sugar base which creates a soft squishy body scrub that gently scrubs away dead skin to reveal glowing new skin. 

If you haven’t smelt Creamy Candy before then imagine a creamy slightly sweet candy floss scent that instantly reminds you of being a child at a fairground.  

Creamy Candy contains Vanilla Absolute and Organic Almond Oil which combine to create a truly iconic sweet scent that has survived the test of time (Creamy Candy has been at Lush since 1995!) I wasn’t sure what to expect when it came to the strength of the scent in this particular scrub but I was pleasantly surprised. Sweet and creamy yet not overwhelmingly cloying. 

I scooped a chunk of this scrumptious scrub onto my arms first thing in the morning  and was impressed by how it performed. The scrub felt soft on my skin but still had a touch of grit to it so I could feel it working its magic when I was massaging it into my skin. When I stepped out of the shower, I noticed that my body felt glorious compared to stepping in the shower and I could smell a creamy scent on my skin that lingered for a while. 

If you’re a fan of candy floss scents or are craving that beautiful Snow Fairy scent all year round then I think that this Body Scrub would definitely be for you! I love both Snow Fairy and Creamy Candy but I have to be in a particular mood to truly enjoy it so I can’t wait to be in that mood so I can crumble a Creamy Candy Bubble Bar up and use this beautiful body scrub! 

Karma

List Of Ingredients: 

Caster Sugar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Perfume, Illipe Butter, Fair Trade Organic Mango Butter, Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Lavandin Oil, Pine Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Elemi Oil, Witch Hazel Extract, Water (Aqua), Lactic Acid, Laurel Betaine, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 14700.

If you have been reading my blog for a while now then you will know that I adore the Karma scent from Lush so I was thoroughly excited when I heard that they would be releasing a Karma Body Scrub! 

If you haven’t smelt Karma from Lush then imagine walking through the markets in your city centre that are full of indie shops where you can smell a mixture of fresh citrus fruit and a mixture of herbal scents such as Patchouli and Pine from incense burning combined together to create a truly unique fragrance.  Karma is inspired by 60’s London and I can totally smell where the inspiration has come from!

I know this is going to be no surprise but I adore this Body Scrub. It is pure excellence for me! I decided to go full out just because I was having a bit of a bad day during the week that I was reviewing these and had an everything shower centralised around the Karma Fragrance. Body Scrub, Shower Gel, Body Lotion, Retro Dusting Powder, Perfume. It was utter heaven and exactly what I needed. I took a good chunk of this body scrub and massaged it all over my body. Whilst massaging, I was instantly hit with the intoxicating scent that is Karma. I inhaled the fragrance, had a moment to myself and washed it off. I know that I had an everything shower but I instantly noticed after using the scrub that my skin felt quite smooth and not tight like it sometimes does after using certain body scrubs. Yknow that sort of oh has my skin not agreed with this scrub/has it actually scrubbed too much skin off feeling? When massaging it into my skin I also noticed a nourishing lather.I’m guessing that I didn’t have this feeling due to the nourishing oils and butters that this body scrub is brimming with such as Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil, Illipe Butter and Fair Trade Organic Mango Butter. 

If you’re a fan of the Karma scent from Lush like myself then I urge you to go and try it if you haven’t already and treat yourself to a tub! You deserve it! 

Posh Chocolate

List Of Ingredients: 

Glycerine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Fair Trade Organic Aloe Vera Gel, Hazelnut Milk, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocoa Powder, Perfume, Cocoa Absolute, Australian Sandalwood Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Citric Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Linalool. 

Who doesn’t want to be smelling of delicious chocolate? I mean my stomach hates lactose and even I want to smell like a chocolaty snack! Well if you do too then now is the time as Lush have made it possible by listening to everyone who wants to smell like a rich dessert and have created a Posh Chocolate Body Scrub that pairs beautifully with the Posh Chocolate Body Wash that shares the same scent. 

If you haven’t smelt Posh Chocolate then imagine the smell of when you open a jar of a very well known Chocolate Hazelnut Spread but even better! 

I used this in a bath before bed and honestly it was one of the best ideas I’ve had in a while when it comes to products and self care. I scooped some and scrubbed it into my skin and not only did my skin feel amazing but so did myself. I just felt comforted due to the beautiful smell coming from the body scrub and the beautiful nourishing oils in this scrub. I did use some on my elbows that get dry quite quickly and noticed that they felt very different and incredibly smooth when I got out of the bath which I was surprised at! 

If you’re looking for a nourishing and comforting body scrub to use at night or for a scrub that will leave you smelling delightful then I think that you should check out Posh Chocolate Body Scrub and grab yourself some. If you are giving this to someone as a gift then do ensure that they know that it is for the body and not to be eaten as I’ve had a few family members get confused when I’ve gifted them the Posh Chocolate Body Wash.  

these body scrubs are only available at Lush for a limited time so do pick them up before they go!

If you were to choose a scent from Lush that isn’t mentioned in this blog post to be turned into a Body Scrub then what scent would you choose? Let me know in the comments section and on social media as I’d love to know your thoughts!

Lush X Community Body Scrubs 2025 | Botanomancy & The Comforter

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I was kindly sent some of the upcoming Lush X Community Body Scrubs by the lovely Community Team at Lush and I thought that today I would talk to you all about them! 

The Lush X Community Ranges are all about letting you, the Lush Community, choose scents that you would like to see in a specific product and this time it’s the turn of Body Scrubs. Lush have been releasing some amazing Body Scrubs in the past year such as Sticky Dates, Intergalactic and The Old Songs Are Waking just to name a few! 

The Body Scrubs in the Lush X Community Body Scrubs 2025 Range all contain Caster Sugar which helps to exfoliate the skin and a plethora of butters and oils which help to nourish the skin because well 2025 is all about having soft and supple skin! 

The scents featured in this Lush X Community Body Scrubs Range are Karma, Posh Chocolate, Creamy Candy, The Comforter and Botanomancy. 

I was kindly sent the Botanomancy and The Comforter Body Scrubs. 

Botanomancy Body Scrub contains Caster Sugar, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Illipe Butter, Fair Trade Organic Mango Butter, Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil, Ginger Oil, Pimento Berry Oil, Petitgrain Oil and West Timor Sandalwood Oil. 

The blend of butters and oils such as Cocoa Butter and Olive Oil create a soft texture to the scrub that reminds me a bit of a firm marshmallow. I know that this may sound a bit weird but I’d say it’s squishy but firmer than the Body Wash Delights from Lush if you have tried them before. When I scooped some out of the tub, I noticed that I didn’t really have to put much pressure on the scrub to get some out of the tub. I massaged this into my skin and noticed that the sort of marshmallow like texture transformed into a luxurious creamy texture. I kept massaging this on my skin for a fair while because well I could feel how moisturising it was on my skin and I wanted to ensure that my skin was not only completely exfoliated but coated in the unique and rich scent of Botanomancy. (I was also having one of those days and just needed to take my time and really ensure that I pampered myself). I rinsed my body and noticed that my skin had transformed from feeling quite dry to soft and supple. (My skin has been going through it at the moment due to the weather in the UK right now especially parts of my body such as my arms that have felt quite rough and dry this past week). 

Botanomancy shares the same scent as the 4:20pm Range at Lush. This range does contain CBD so sadly it does mean that some countries aren’t able to try out the range due to the laws in their countries. The best way to describe Botanomancy is imagine a spicy green scent and then multiply that by ten. The Patchouli and Ginger create a deep spicy scent whilst Petitgrain and Sandalwood add an element of a green woody note to the scent. I guess the best way to describe it is imagine the smell of burnt incense mixed with a forest. If you have tried Lord Of Misrule or Tramp from Lush and adored them then you will adore this. 

The Comforter Body Scrub contains Caster Sugar, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Almond Oil, Bergamot Oil, Blackcurrant Absolute and Cypress Oil. 

The scent of this Body Scrub is amazing. If you haven’t tried anything in The Comforter scent from Lush before then imagine a slightly creamy yet punchy Blackcurrant scent that just makes you feel soothed and well comforted… If you’ve not tried The Comforter from Lush  then imagine the scent of Ribena but even better and in bathing form! A strong fruity Blackcurrant scent that makes you feel happy and nostalgic of when you were a child. 

I opened the lid to this Scrub when I received it and instantly fell in love. Fruity yet slightly creamy in all the best ways possible. The smell of this body scrub instantly took me back to years ago when I fell in love with The Comforter scent when I first picked up a The Comforter Bubble Bar and a tub of Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly. 

I scooped a little bit of this glorious body scrub out of the tub and massaged it into my skin. I noticed that the scent intensified whilst massaging it into my skin which made me fall in love with the scrub even more than I thought I could. Whilst massaging it into my skin, I also noticed that it lathered into a skin nourishing serum like texture that just glided over my skin. Like Botanomancy, I spent a couple of minutes just massaging and taking in the scent and realising that sometimes all you need is a The Comforter bath to make everything feel better. When I stepped out of the bath, I noticed that my skin felt quite smooth and soft. It felt quite nourished which I wasn’t expecting as I thought that the serum like lather may not be enough for my dry skin but it really was! To truly review the scrub, I decided to test this on my hand and in the bath on two different occasions, on both occasions I could smell the scent on my skin for quite a while after scrubbing it off. If you want to really treat yourself during the miserable Winter time that is happening right now then I’d suggest pairing this with either The Comforter Bubble Bar or the new Lovestruck Bath Bomb from the Valentines Day Range or if you’re wanting a quick shower to prep you for the day ahead you could pair it with Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly, The Comforter Shower Gel that are back at Lush as part of the Archive Wall or even Posh Chocolate Shower Gel for truly scrumptious shower experience alongside The Comforter Body Spray. Trust me, not only will any of the combos that I’ve listed help you feel like you can conquer the day ahead but you’ll be smelling like an utterly delightful snack!

All of the Body Scrubs in this Lush X Community Range are available in a 135g and a 290g tub and are available to purchase in stores, online and on the Lush App in the UK. If you’re based in America then you’ll be available to purchase these amazing scrubs from the 25th February. Please check your countries Lush App to check if these scrumptious scrubs are available to purchase.  

Have you managed to try any of the new Lush X Community Body Scrubs? What scents from Lush would you love to see in a Body Scrub format? Let me know! 

I have tried and tested the rest of the range so do keep a look out for the blog post about the rest of the Lush X Community Body Scrubs that is coming very soon! 

Thanks again to Lush for kindly sending me these two body scrubs. It really did make my day receiving these goodies! 

Thanks for reading!

Shopping Until I Drop… A Bath Bomb Accidentally | Lush Boxing Day Sale At Lush White Rose

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I recently managed to go to the Lush Boxing Day Sale at Lush White Rose in Leeds so I thought that today I would talk to you all about my experience and what I managed to pick up! 

Myself and Luke managed to grab a taxi on the morning of Boxing Day and head to White Rose Shopping Centre. This didn’t take long and even the taxi driver commented on how quiet the roads were which was unusaual for them! 

We arrived at White Rose, thanked the taxi driver and headed to Lush. We got to near Lush and was told to join the queue which we did. Sadly Luke sometimes struggles with queues due to use a cane and trying to manage the narrow barriers and getting their cane caught underneath them sometimes. We did tell the staff who were managing the queues this and was ignored. Luke decided to just carry on as the staff may have not heard them and it was a busy day (I did instantly message White Rose when this happened). We joined the second queue to the store and after a while the lovely Jas found us and escorted us to the store which meant that we could skip the queue which was very kind of them to do so and that Luke could save some energy trying to manage the queue with this cane and enjoy the sale and shopping at Lush White Rose.

We had a chat with the wonderful Jas before Jason greeted us and very kindly told us that they would be guiding us around the store to ensure that we had an amazing shopping experience. We’ve done Lush Boxing Day Sales in the past and it can be overwhelming and a little bit dangerous for both myself and Luke. Luke has been barged into and nearly had his cane knocked out of his hand before and I’ve been elbowed a fair few times in previous years for being near those gloriously pink tinted Snow Fairy products.  
Jason guided us around the store beautifully and went through every product that was on sale including some goodies that weren’t a part of the Christmas Range and instead were a part of the Retro Wall which surprised me as I wasn’t expecting anything from the wall to go on sale!  

After perusing the shelves for a while and grabbing products for both of us, we made our way over to the tills where Jas found us again to escort us to the tills to ensure that we weren’t struggling waiting in the queue which was really amazing of them to do. 
We chatted whilst the lovely Sarah packed our bags and talked to us about the Christmas Range as a whole! I would like to also add that the lovely Lorna was an absolute star. When it comes to access for trips and events such as the Lush Boxing Day Sale, I like to email ahead and when I did this year for the Sale, Lorna helped in every way possible including asking what accessibility features would work best for myself and Luke and planned according to our needs. This is amazing as I stated at the beginning of the post that we have both had some mixed experiences doing Lush Sales in various different shops and knowing what to expect beforehand and getting some help beforehand just takes a bit of weight off myself and Luke and helps us to have a great day out shopping. Lorna was even so lovely to let us check out the Lunar New Year Range before it launched to stores and online. (It’s out by the time this post will be live so go check it out if you can). 

Haul: 
I thought that it might be best to bullet point what I got. 

• Sleepy Bear Shower Gel 
• Tramp Shower Gel 
• Snow Fairy Two Tone Shower Gel 
• Polar Bear Dreaming Shower Jelly 
• Smugglers Soul Face Scrub 
• Elbow Grease Moistursing Bar

I’ve also created a TikTok post about my Lush Boxing Day Sale Haul. Click here to watch it. 

 Thank you again to all of the wonderful staff at Lush White Rose especially those mentioned in this blog post for helping myself to have a great shopping experience during the busiest time of the year! 

If you can then definitely do pop a visit to Lush White Rose!

Stepping Into A New Store Full Of Imagination | Lush Cosmetics York Store Reopening Preview Event

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I was recently invited to the preview event of the new Lush York store and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it. 

Myself and Luke arrived in York after a quite lengthy train delay and we ventured from the train station to the city centre. Once we had made it onto Coney Street, we made our way down to the brand new store which was glowing in an array of lit Christmas decorations along the street. 

We made our way into the store and was greeted by the lovely Sarah who told us about the night and offered us some Lush York themed cupcakes which not only tasted amazing but looked amazing too! 

After this, we were guided around the brand new store by the lovely Emily as I was unsure on where certain things were such as the new Bath Bomb Wall and the new Archive Wall. During the tour, my friend Michelle turned up and joined us in store. After a quick chat we rejoined Emily and Luke and discussed the gourmand products from Lush that have been getting a lot of love at the moment and the brand new The Lush Version products. 

These are products based on old formulas that Mark Constantine made for The Body Shop before Mark went on his own beauty adventure and created Lush. These products are in stores but Lush York had gotten a few goodies from the range early for us to smell and enjoy. 

The brand new store is full of sections for customers to explore and experience in their own way such as a gourmand section for those who want to delve deep into the gourmand scents that the Lush Community have been loving at the moment, a Super Milk section for those who have seen the love of Super Milk but haven’t enjoyed it themselves yet and a Snow Fairy section full of the festive goodies that make up the Snow Fairy Range such as the brand new Snow Fairy Milkshake Shower Gel and Snow Fairy Glitter Spray! 

After a wander around the brand new and beautiful store, we headed towards the front of the store which contains a wall of previously loved goodies from Lush that were once discontinued but now stand tall and proud on the wall for new and old Lushies to fall in love with once again. 

Alongside these retro goodies, at the Lush York store there lays the Fireworks Makeup Range. These products are exclusive to certain stores in the UK and now are available online. The fireworks makeup range includes a plethora of products including lip products, body lustre and glitter mists! The lovely staff took me through a lot of the products such as the Pink Grapefruit Lip Jelly. Now I do own the Cola Lip Jelly from Lush but I have been a bit intimidated to use it. The lovely staff at Lush York guided me through how to use it so when I’m next out I’m going to grab it from my shelf and wear it out even if I am only running errands around town. The lovely staff at Lush York also demonstrated the Glitter Sprays that are a part of the Fireworks Makeup Range at Lush. These glitter mists come in three different scents. Golden Egg, Intergalactic and Snow Fairy. The formula of the Glitter Sprays contain Glycerine which help to suspend the glitter in the mist and also help to moisturise the skin. The lovely staff also showed me the Cocktail Body Lustre which contains the much loved Cocktail Perfume scent from Lush. I love anything that’s moisturising and contains glitter so this was an instant love for me. Michelle also had this demonstrated on her over a tattoo and the Cocktail Body lustre made it shimmer and shine so if you have any tattoos then this product would also be perfect for you! 

After a look into the fireworks makeup range, I went over to the hand and arm massage area where we all had a chatter about all things Lush and an amazing pamper! The wonderful Emily started off by scrubbing my hand and arm with the much beloved Sticky Dates Body Scrub. After this, Emily asked for me to pick one of the massage bars on offer to be massaged with. Now, if you know me then you will know that I am a massive lover of Turmeric Latte so when I saw Turmeric Latte I knew that I had to be coated from elbow to fingers in it! Some of the other massageh bars that were on offer to choose between included Coconut Drench and honestly I think that Coconut Drench is a bit of an underrated Massage Bar at Lush! Coconut Drench is truly a scent made for anyone who loves Coconut and holidays. This Massage Bar contains Babassu Oil, Tonka Absolute, Vetivert Oil and Vanilla Absolute alongside some other goodies that helps to nourish the skin and help you to smell like you’ve been drenched in hydrating Coconut Water. After Emily gave me an amazing massage. I compared the well pampered arm and hand to the other one that had not been touched and I noticed a massive difference! As my skin is on the dry side, my skin loves the Massage Bars from Lush due to the moisturising oils and butters that are in every one of their Massage Bars. I was asked if I wanted some Silky Underwear on top of the massaged arm and I can’t remember the last time I used Silky Underwear so I thought why not?! I instantly fell in love with the scent as soon as it was applied to my skin! Once Silky Underwear had sank into my skin, the lovely Emily spritzed Let The Good Times Roll Body Spray onto my skin. If you haven’t smelt Let The Good Times Roll before then imagine that smell of walking into a cinema and instantly smelling the scent of freshly made popcorn bottled into a Body Spray that will have people asking you what you smell of because you smell so good! 

Once we were done with the hand and arm massage, I had another quick look around the store and then headed to the bath bomb making station where we were greeted by the wonderful Joe. After chatting for a couple of minutes, Joe told me that we were going to make the Magical Santa Bath Bomb. Not only does this bath bomb look amazing due to its layers of different colours but it also smells amazing due to the inclusion of Sicilian Lemon Oil, Rosewood Oil and Lemon Myrtle Oil which creates a very uplifting and zingy scent! I mixed up the different colours, added Citric Acid to one of them and got to making my own Magical Santa. After having a chat, layering up the bath bomb mixture and having a great time, it was time to bag this Santa up and leave him to set up for 24 hours. Honestly I don’t think I’ll be hired to make bath bombs at the Lush factory anytime soon but I had an absolute blast making my own Magical Santa at Lush York. If you ever get to go to a Bath Bomb Workshop then remember that once you’ve used your bath bomb you can take your mould back to the store for a discount on your order. 

Sadly after the bath bomb workshop it was time to say goodbye to the staff. 

Before we left, I was handed a gorgeous goodie bag full of Lush goodies. The goodie bag contained a bottle of the iconic Super Milk, a wonderful Scrubee, a pot of Ultrabland Facial Cleanser, a bottle of the Sticky Dates Body Spray that is now available all year round at Lush and a Little Snow Fairy Gift Set that contains a Snow Fairy Bath Bomb and a Snow Fairy Shower Gel (100g). Alongside all of these goodies that came in a beautiful Fighting Animal Testing Tote Bag, the wonderful staff at Lush York gave me a random act of kindness product out of the kindness of their hearts. This product that was gifted to me is the brand new Ginger Shampoo that is a part of The Lush Version range. This shampoo helps to fight off dandruff and includes Fresh Ginger Infusion, Mimosa Absolute, Bergamot Oil, Sicilian Red Mandarin Oil, Kenyan Geranium Oil and Sandalwood Oil alongside Salicylic Acid. This Ginger Shampoo is scented with the Ginger Perfume scent from Lush so if you love the perfume then you will love this Shampoo. 

Thanks again to the lovely staff at Lush York and Lush themselves for inviting me to the launch of the brand new Lush York Store. i can’t wait to go back to it when i next visit York which with the York Christmas Markets on at the moment will be very soon! if you are local to York or in the Yorkshire area or even if you want a beautiful day out do go visit the brand new Lush York store and see how beautiful it is for yourself! 

Thanks for reading!

My Dream Lush X Community Fragrances

 Hey everyone!

Welcome to a brand new blog post! Lush recently announced that a new Lush X Communiry Fragrance drop will be happening soon so I thought that today I would talk to you all about seven fragrances of my choosing that I would love to see some day as a part of a Lush X Community Fragrance drop! 

Lush X Community is a limited time range at Lush that sometimes happens throughout the year and is focused on allowing the Lush Community to have their say on what retro and much loved scents at Lush should be featured as part of the drop. So far, the Lush  Community  has had their say on a Shower Gel drop, a Candle drop and now it’s time for the fragrances to shine. Fragrances did make an appearance as the first Lush X Community drop which introduced the iconic Sticky Dates Body Spray into the world!

Fragrance is subjective so these are just my personal choices. Talking about Frsgrances, Lush did recently release a new line of fragrances which include the much talked about Chelsea Morning. Let me know if you would like a blog post about my thoughts on the scents in that range. 

Phoenix Rising

Phoenix Rising contains Bergamot Oil and Cassia Oil. 

To me, this blend of amazing oils creates a gorgeous warm and spicy scent with a sort of sparkling citrus undertone. 

This was one of my first ever Lush Bath Bombs that I used and honestly it was love at first sight! I am a fiend for anything that has a spicy scent to it and as this scent is very much intriguing due to the moisture of spice and citrus, I just wanted more in this scent. It honestly does give me the vibe of a warm hug during the colder months or being wrapped up nice and cosy whilst you enjoy a warming drink in the cold months. Now sadly, Phoenix Rising did suffer a rise and fall at Lush and was discontinued for a while but now it’s back and better via the brand new Retro/Archive Wall at Lush and now that it’s back front and centre I think that Phoenix Rising would be perfect in the form of a Body Spray. Just imagine smelling of during the cold months, you’d have people wanting to smell you and ask you what you’re wearing! 

May Day 

May Day was my first Charity Bath Bomb from Lush and the main reason as to why I’m including this scent is due to nostalgia but I really did love the scent of this Bath Bomb.  To this day, I think that releasing it as a fragrance with a percentage going to a charity would not only fit in with what Lush stands for and a business but also a great idea for those who haven’t had the pleasure of smelling May Day. 

May Day contains Fennel Oil, Rosewood Oil and Bergamot Oil which creates a sort of lovely blend of spice, floral and citrus all in one bath bomb with a slight focus on the spice with a touch of the floral coming through the most. 

May Day was released in 2014 as a charity bath bomb to help protect badgers in the UK. I think for those who like say Dragons Egg or Sakura but want a little bit of spice thrown in would definitely enjoy this. 

Daddy-O 

Daddy-O contains Violet Leaf and Pakistani Rose Absolutes, Bergamot Oil, Cananga Oil and Fresh Lime Juice. This is a floral scent but to me it’s a fresh and slightly citrus take on a floral. Imagine a pure intense Violet scent that feels like a mixture of crushed up Parma Violet sweets mixed with freshly picked Violet mixed with a slightly citrus undertone. 

This is to die for and recently Lush has been expanding the Daddy-O scent into other products such as the Super Dad Bath Bomb from Fathers Day and Violet Cream Conditioner. 

I think that this scent in a fragrance format would be amazing. Does Lush have other amazing floral scents? Yes, I could spend all day listing them off but I think that Daddy-O would do amazing for those who are a bit hesitant when it comes to Violet Scents as I think Daddy-O is that perfect mix of floral, citrus and sweet to get those hesitant onto the Violet fragrance hype. 

Posh Chocolate 

I mean, who doesn’t love smelling like a snack and chocolate is the ultimate snack… well it is to me! 

Posh Chocolate contains Hazelnut Milk, Cocoa Powder, Cocoa Absolute, Australian Sandalwood Oil and Vanilla Absolute. Chocolate and Hazelnut you say, doesn’t that sound like a well known chocolate spread you also say? Maybe… If you like a well known  hazelnut and chocolate spread then imagine it in a Fragrance from. 

Lush does have a fair few gourmand fragrances and they have gone viral for being well delicious but i am intrigued to see how strong and well Posh Chocolate would be in a  fragrance form. Just imagine it, walking into work or going out and you have people asking why you smell like a delicious chocolate dessert and you say well it’s Posh Chocolate of course! I also love how fragrances can change your mood and I definitely think after a spray of this your mood would definitely be enhanced! 

Brother Moon 

Brother Moon contains Geranium Oil, Grapefruit Oil and Rose Oil. I know that this may sound like such a weird mixture but honestly it works and creates a beautifully inviting yet slightly intriguing scent. The Geranium and Rose help to create a scent that reminds you of walking through a beautiful fresh botanical garden whilst the Grapefruit helps to cut through this and add a huge blast of brightness to the scent. 

I know that you may see Rose and instantly think of Rose Jam at Lush and how there is already a Perfume and Body Spray of Rose Jam but to me Brother Moon is a sort of grown up cousin of Rose Jam. They would layer beautifully together but I think that if Brother Moon was to be released then those who find Rose Jam a little bit too sweet may be drawn to Brother Moon. 

Carrots/Follow The White Rabbit 

Follow The White Rabbit has become an Easter staple at Lush. Follow The White Rabbit contains Bergamot Oil, Buchu Oil and Sicilian Lemon Oil. This blend of oils creates a truly bright and citrus scent with a slightly tart blackcurrant undertone that helps to round out the citruses and make it feel like you’re enjoying a delicious picnic in the park in the midst of Spring when it’s sunny for those few days before the English April Showers kick in. 

Lush have released many products in the Carrots/Follow The White Rabbits scent family over the years ranging from soaps to bath and shower products but they have never released a fragrance of it! I think that it would do amazing as a fragrance. You could wear it during the Spring when flowers are slowly blooming, you could wear it in Autumn when you need a little pick me up… I mean you could even layer it with Grass Shower Gel for the ultimate sort of picnic vibe. It would be amazing! Well I think it would be amazing! 

Party On 

Correct me if I’m wrong but Party On was released back in the day to help people party the night away for when you need a pick me up the day after when you’ve partied just that little bit too hard. 

Party On contains Lime Oil, Menthol, Rosemary Oil and Juniperberry Oil. This may sound like an odd combination but it really works. The Menthol alongside the Juniperberry and Rosemary give a sort of clean minty herbal scent whilst the Lime contrasts against it and gives a massive hit of zing to the product. I adore it! 

I think that this as a fragrance would be amazing. It could be used for all those festive parties that are about to kick off or for when you’re feeling a little bit worse for wear the day after but you still need to go outside. I just think that it would do really well and that it’s a unique scent that I think should be brought out as a fragrance for those who haven’t experienced it before. Lush did have this scent out as a Temple Balm years ago which I think was the nearest to this scent being out as a fragrance really but I think this as a festive party fragrance would be really amazing! 

What would be your top picks for your favourite Lush X Community Perfumes if you choose them? Let me know down below!

Lush Hanukkah 2024 Range

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! Lush have released their Hanukkah 2024 Range and I thought that I would talk to you all about it today. 

Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel Bath Bomb - £6.

Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel has had a bit of a glow up and is now sporting a vibrant blue colour!

This beautiful Bath Bomb contains Myrrh Resinoid, Orange Flower Absolute and Cinnamon Leaf Oil. These ingredients combine to create a truly autumnal scent that is divine in my opinion. They all combine to create a scent that’s reminiscent of a freshly baked Apple Pie. Apple and Cinnamon. The best of friends. If you have smelt the Apple Crumble Bubble Bar from Lush then imagine that scent in a Bath Bomb that creates truly beautiful Bath Art. I love all things Apple and Cinnamon so I adore the scent of this bath bomb. If you’re looking for a bath bomb to celebrate Hanukkah with or a Bath Bomb that will make you feel like you’re in a rom com crunching through the leaves whilst Christmas Markets are set up all around  you then I think that Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel Bath Bomb will be for you! If you are looking for a fragrance from Lush to layer with Dreidel, Dreidel , Dreidel then I would suggest Love which contains Bergamot Oil, Rose Absolute, Jasmine Absolute, Ylang Ylang Oil and Ylang Ylang Absolute which in my opinion creates a sort of lightly spiced Apple scent with a soft floral undertone. 

Gelt Soap - £7.

I recently was invited to the Lush Manchester Arndale Holiday Preview Event (click here to read the post) where not only did I have an absolute blast but I also had the chance to talk to the wonderful Luka who helped to make Gelt Soap as a part of the Lush Co-Create Scheme. Luka explained to me that tradition is a big part of cultural holidays like Hanukkah as they bring communities together such as the tradition of lighting the Chanukkah Candles. They also talked about how Gelt is Yiddish for money and used the tradition of Chocolate Coins during Hanukkah to create a new chocolate inspired scent for the Soap. 

This Soap contains Grapefruit Oil, Labdanum Resinoid and Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil. This blend of ingredients creates a scent that to me reminds me of a rich sweet citrusy chocolate pudding with a bit of a spicy undertone. I realise that this may sound a bit peculiar but I think that the mixture of Grapefruit and Labdanum creates a sort of sweet creamy mix of citrus and chocolate that reminds me a bit of Chocolate Orange. The Patchouli adds a bit of a deep spicy undertone that makes me think that the chocolate that would be used if this scent was a bar in the shops would be a sort of 75%+ Dark Chocolate.

If you were looking for a perfume to pair with the brand new Gelt Soap then I would suggest either Vegan Leather Jacket or Turmeric Latte as they would both compliment the Patchouli and Labdanum notes that are in the fragrance of this soap. 

Bright Nights Gift Set - £14.50

This Gift Set contains both the Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel Bath Bomb and a Gelt Soap. If you’re looking for a way to gift something to someone who loves Lush this Hanukkah then this is the perfect option! A perfect little bathtime routine in a box. Pop the bath bomb into the water and whilst you’re bathing in spiced Apple goodness you can wash yourself with the Gelt Soap in the tub! I’ll definitely be grabbing one of these as I think it’s the perfect little gift for someone who likes anything that screams Autumn too. 

Oh Hanukkah/Light Shines In the Darkness Knot Wrap - £7.

I love Knot Wraps. I like to use them in multiple ways. Whether this be to use  as a carrier for some of my self care products when I’m travelling away for a few days or for storage  purposes or to use as back groups for when I take photos. I just think that they add an element of luxury and help to make my photos pop. 

This year for the Hanukkah Range Lush have released the Oh Hanukkah/Light Shines In The Darkness Knot Wrap which I think looks beautiful. 

Jordan Sandlwe who has helped to design this particular knot wrap stated that the inspiration for this knot wrap design was to showcase lightness through all of the darkness of the world and that his aim for this knot wrap is for people to keep being optimistic no matter what life throws at them.  I love this statement and is something that I am working really hard on trying to do a little bit more at the moment especially with what has happened in the world this past week. I know a lot of people use knot wraps for different things such as wearing in their hair so do let me know what you use Knot Wraps for! 

Will you be grabbing any of the Lush Hanukkah 2024 Range?  Let me know down below!
