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!
