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. 

A square white box opened with Shaun the sheep in white font with Kish in white font on a yellow oval Hubble on the back with a black spray bottle filled with body spray with a green domed label with mossy bottom in dark green font next to a tall cylindrical tub filled with three pink pig shaped shower jellies with sand on them with a green label with naughty pigs shower jelly in pink font with a blue tractor shaped soap next to a light yellow circular pick shaped body balm with an animated dog engraved into it with a black and white sheep’s face shaped bath bomb next to a smaller baby sheep’s face shaped bubble bar on a brogue background

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.

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. 

A stack of five clinical plastic clear pots in au shape. Each having a different colour scrub and label. All names are written on the rectangular labels in white with lush in white underneath them in small font. Botanomancy is dark green, creamy candy is pink, karma is orange, posh chocolate is brown and the comforter is purple on a light brown rectangular shelf on a bright background

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!

Thanks for reading!
