Hey everyone!
Welcome to a brand new blog post! Ive been unwell recently so when I started to recover, I went to go and check out the totally radical and brand new TMNT X Lush Collaboration range!
‘This summer, Lush and Paramount Consumer Products launch a Turtle-y awesome limited edition product collection. Channel your inner hero in a half shell with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!’ - Lush UK.
Lush have collaborated with Paramount this summer to create a plastic free beauty range to not only help reduce single use plastic which in turn will help turtles but also to celebrate the turtles via creating a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles range that will have you feeling turtle-y awesome. July is also known for being Plastic Free July and in turn this range will help you to cut down on the plastic you use in your own beauty routine!
Four Brothers Bath Bomb (£14)
Time to see which one of the gang appears in your tub!
This bath bomb contains Fresh Oregano Infusion, Lemongrass Oil and Bergamot Oil. If you have shopped at Lush for a while then you may know the scent of these bath bomb as Avobath Bath Bomb. A true citrus scent that is made for Summer. I love the scent of this bomb as it reminds me of a true hot summers day whilst drinking a refreshing lemonade. Not only does this bath bomb smell amazing but looks amazing too as the bomb truly evokes the turtles in all of their glory! There are four bombs to choose between as they all represent each of the turtles and they contain a mystery shaped soap scented in Avobath. The soaps that you can get are a pizza shaped soap, a skateboard shaped soap, a manhole cover shaped soap and a van shaped soap.
Peace, Love and Pizza Bath Bomb (£6.50)
I mean who doesn’t love Pizza? Now you can bathe in it whilst you’re eating some.
This bath bomb is a 3 in 1 bath product. The pizza itself is a bath bomb, the cheese is a bath melt that nourishes the skin and the pepperoni slice on top is actually soap! How amazing is that.
This bath bomb contains Fresh Garlic Infusion, Lemongrass Oil, Basil Oil, Oregano Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Tonka Absolute, Vanilla Absolute, Fiat Trade Organic Mango Butter, Organic Ilipe Butter and Cupuaçu Butter.
Yes I know, Garlic, Basil and Oregano sounds like a bad idea for the scent of a bath bomb but weirdly it really works. These three mixed together create a harmonious fresh sort of green herbal scent which creates a fresh background for the scent of the bath bomb which is citrus heavy. To me, the bath bomb smells of freshly cut Pineapple with a herbal backnote to it which I adore. The buttery bath melt looks good enough to eat and when you experience what it does to your skin in the tub you will be wishing that you could eat it so you could enjoy the softening benefits from the inside out. The soap is also gorgeous to me. If you have been a fan of Lush for a while then you will know this scent as Turmeric Latte. A smoky yet creamy scent that envelops you and comforts you to the point of nothing in the world matters but you. I wasn’t sure if the scent combo of Turmeric Latte and Pineapple with a herbal background would work but it really does it gives that sort of smoky kick that grilling pineapple has.
Green Machine Bubble Bar (£7.50)
It’s about to get green in here!
This bubble bar contains Bergamot Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Rose Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute and Ylang Ylang Oil. If you are an avid Lushie then you may know the scent of this Bubble Bar as Bathos. Honestly I haven’t smelt Bathos in such a long while I wasn’t fully sure what to expect except I remember it being Violet heavy. It is Violet heavy but it’s complimented so well with the spiciness of Clove Bud Oil. The Rose, Jasmine and Ylang Ylang help to create a floral background for the Violet to jump off. If you’re not the biggest Violet fan then I do suggest giving this a sniff as you may be a bit surprised. This bubble bar creates so many fluffy bubbles! If you’re looking for a pamper after a hard works day or something before date night then honestly I think Green Machine might just be the thing for you!
Krang Shower Jelly (£11)
It’s time to finally defeat Krang with the help of the shower!
This shower jelly is inspired by the well known villain in TMNT known as Krang!
This shower jelly contains Carageenan Extract, Glycerine, Irish Moss Extract, Bergamot Oil, Davana Oil, Almond Essential Oil and Vanilla Absolute. Some may know the scent of this Shower Jelly via the Conga Shower Shelly at Lush but this has a touch more Vanilla to my nose. If you haven’t smelt either Krang or Conga then imagine a very potent yet refreshing Raspberry Milkshake style of scent or the scent of those Drumstick Squashies sweets. This shower jelly also comes with a metal reusable tin which I absolutely love as it means I can take it with me when I’m out and about in the UK. I also think that it would make a perfect gift especially for those who love showers more than baths and could do with reducing their use of plastic!
Turtle Power Solid Scrub (£10)
Well everyone needs a bit of Turtle Power to help them get through the day!
This shower scrub contains Fine Sea Salt, Organic Ilipe Butter, Fair Trade Organic Mango Butter, Bamboo Stem Extract, Murumuru Butter, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Organic Shea Butter, Kokum Butter, Organic Jojoba Oil, Bergamot Oil and Olibanum Oil. If you have shopped at Lush for a while then you will know the scent of this shower scrub via the BlackBerry Bath Bomb which is back to purchase via the Retro wall and I’m Back section on the Lush UK Website and the Sultana of Soap Soap which is available in stores and on the Lush website and app. Recently Lush did release a Sultana Shower Gel which shares the same scent via the Lush X Community range which is centralised around avid lushies suggesting and requesting for beloved scents to come back! If you haven’t smelt this then Sultana is a deep fruity scent that reminds you of picking blackberries in a garden with a woody undertone that adds to the richness of the fruit. The Bamboo Stem Extract gives a subtle yet very effective scrub to the skin whilst the butters ensure that the skin is left feeling super smooth after using the scrub. I love this as I hate it when you use a scrub, get out of the shower or bath and realise that the scrub has dried or even worse irritated your skin which then ends up affecting the rest of the day and your mood. I also love how this can be taken anywhere and everywhere due to it being plastic free. I also would definitely suggest this as a gift for anyone who sometimes forgets to use a scrub as I think the plastic free, scent and textural elements may sway them into remembering to use one!
Goongala! Shampoo Bar (£10)
Finally a shampoo bar to help you have hair
This shampoo bar contains Fresh Watercress Infusion, Sandalwood Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Tagetes Oil, Rosewood Oil and Vetivert Oil. This shampoo bar has hbeen created to help your scalp. The Rosewood Oil in this bar has a cleansing effect whilst Lemongrass helps to make hair shiny and Watercress Infusion helps to soothe the scalp! I’ve been using this for a while now and as someone who has problematic hair and a problematic scalp, this shampoo bar has been a godsend. I also love the concept of a shampoo bar not only because you can travel with them but because in Lush’s words they last longer than a relationship does’… if you have been a Lushie for a while then you may know the scent as Smugglers Soul which used to be a beloved Perfume back in the day. The scent is smoky with a slight light citrus backnote and it smells to die for!
There is also a three pack of face cloths that are inspired by all things Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Lush that are available to purchase online and in store.
Have you checked out any of the range? Would you try a Pizza inspired bath bomb? Do you like Pineapple? Let me know!
Thanks for reading!
