Willow The Wisp Thickening Serum

There have been times when I’ve truly been tempted to shave off all of my hair and start again. My hair is super sensitive to any change that I put it through, so when a shampoo disagrees with me or a styling product dries my locks out, it’s as if someone has super-glued a bird’s nest to my head and it takes weeks to get it under control again.

Two of the worst traits that my hair possesses is the fact that it’s incredibly thin and it’s super frizzy. Combined, these two factors don’t make it easy to wear my hair down, at least not without a load of product to control the natural wispy nature of my hair. For this reason, when I heard that Lush were bringing out a thickening serum that also promised to control the frizz, I knew I needed it in my life no matter what the cost.

Willow The Wisp is one of Lush’s newest inventions: originally released exclusively for the Liverpool store but recently unveiled as one of May’s Lush Labs exclusives as well. Priced up at £14.95 for a miniature 100g bottle, my initial impression was that this was a rather expensive investment, even if it did exactly what it was supposed to do. Having used it religiously over the past couple of weeks however, and seeing how little of the serum I have actually extracted from the bottle, I can confidently say that this product goes a long long way and is worth every penny, in my opinion.

To use, Lush recommend that you apply a couple of pumps-worth to towel-dried hair and work it through with your fingers. As your hair dries, the high dosage of Epsom salts that have gone into making Willow The Wisp causes your hair to swell, hence giving it a thicker look and temporary volume for a day or two. As salt tends to dry your hair out, there is also a generous helping of extra virgin olive oil to bring that moisture back, along with a dash of lemon juice to add shine and softness.

Firstly, my experience with this thickening serum is that it’s better to brush your hair before applying this. I found that when working into my hair, I was able to create more volume by scrunching my ends and leaving them to dry this way. If I brushed my hair afterwards, it took away a little of this added volume, which is certainly not the look I was going for. 

Once my hair had fully dried, I noticed not only an improvement in the condition of my hair but that my locks appeared and felt noticeably thicker overall. Not only did my hair look and feel shiny, and was far more manageable to the point that I was able to wear it down without adding any other product, but the usual wispy bits at the top of my head had all but disappeared as well. Win win.

The only negative point I will say about this serum is that while my hair did feel softer and smoother overall, I wish there was something a little extra added in to make this super moisturising as well, because my ends still needed a large dose of coconut oil to keep them nourished. However, given the nature of what this product has been designed to do - and how well it does this - this qualm is more of a personal preference as opposed to a product fault.

As if this wasn’t impressive enough, the smell of Willow The Wisp is equally as beautiful, and lingers around for ages like a hair perfume as well. Containing rose absolute, rose oil, rosewood oil, and both lemon and lime oils, this gorgeous serum offers a strong, powdery floral aroma, with a refreshing citrusy after-kick. The rose and rosewood offer a scent not far off of geranium: a musky, naturally sweet and slightly woody cloud of floral; while the fruit ingredients elevate this fragrance and throw in their own uplifting blend of citrus notes.

Obviously, this is only a temporary fix for the condition of my hair and I need to do much more work at building the actual thickness of my locks. However, Willow The Wisp has now become my go-to product whenever I need a little added boost of volume, and I can rely on it to restore my hair as much as it can without the use of magic. This is worth every penny in my eyes and I hope it becomes a part of the permanent range.

Fantabulosa Liquid Perfume

With the recent release of the Gold Label perfumes, I really feel as if consumers are being given an incredible opportunity to experience a piece of Lush history: one that I genuinely thought was forever lost in the past. Sometimes it's beneficial to bring a little history into the present moment, and this is one of those such occasions.

When I first heard the name Fantabulosa (originally called Ladyboy) my immediate thought went to the popular fizzy drink. The very thought of a perfume encompassing the sweet, juiciness of fizzy orange soda was enough to make me salivate. In fact, I convinced myself so much that this is what the perfume would smell like that, for those who have experienced this retro scent before, you can imagine my confusion when this little beauty finally found its way into my life. To put it simply, this fragrance couldn't be any farther away from what I initially envisaged.

From the bottle, my first impression was that of a perfume overly consumed by a strong thread of oakmoss. There was something very damp and earthy about the fragrance, which made it a very heavy and overpowering. Coupled with a naturally sweet and slightly grassy violet note, the heaviness of the perfume is definitely not one that would appeal to everyone.

Having said that, when the perfume is given the freedom to breathe on your skin, something magic happens. Firstly, the oakmoss takes a little step back, and while it is still there, it offers more of a base for the other components to perform on. Then a strangely alluring but equally sticky-sweet note of banana comes through, which elevates the fragrance overall and gives it so much character. 

As I mentioned above, the violet leaf continues to deliver its sweet but slightly grassy floral notes, but on the skin it softens a little and creates something very comforting and beautiful. Alongside this, the chamomile offers a calming herbal smell that dances between the other notes and brings the perfume together.

Simply put, Fantabulosa is incredibly complex and interesting: a perfume that stands alone as being a truly incredible experience. This is one of those fragrances that takes you on a powerful journey with every wear, and one that I can never being chosen lightly. I don't think even the world's best wordsmith would be able to do this as much justice as trying it out for yourself would. You need to experience it to truly understand when I say that it's a work of art.

As to be expected, the perfume remained on my skin for ages: eventually wearing off some five hours after I had initially applied it. During this time, I received many compliments from strangers in shops and on the streets, and I felt the power and responsibility that comes with wearing such a signature scent. 

Why this perfume was ever relegated to the darkest vaults of Lush's past, and made to sit there going unnoticed, I will never know. I can only hope old and new Lush fans will now have a chance to make this a regular part of their Lush collection, and I only hope it doesn't disappear before I buy myself another couple of large bottles. 

Quantitative Ingredients: DRF Alcohol, Perfume, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Chamomile Blue Oil, Labdanum Resinoid, Seaweed Absolute, Oakmoss Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute, Oakmoss Extract, *Limonene.

Mortal Kombu Under Eye Mask

Since getting back into teaching this year, I have made a conscious effort to ensure that my life is a little more balanced. The key to that balance is making sure that I get enough sleep, so that my body can heal and recuperate from the busy day that I’ve put it through. Therefore, in theory, I shouldn’t have to use the new Mortal Kombu Under Eye Mask.

Made from only four ingredients, this super powerful eye mask is designed specifically to soothe your eyes are a heavy day/week/month, and reduce the appearance of bags or weary looking skin. Naturally, you’re probably questioning just how affective a saga of ingredients can actually be, but I can honestly vouch for its success, as I’ll demonstrate below.

The key to the success of Mortal Kombu is the mineral-rich seaweed, which has been proven time and time again, across numerous Lush products, that it has superpowers when it comes to the skin. Containing essential minerals and oils, when applied it helps to soothe irritation and infuse the skin with so much natural goodness. After using something as intense as this particular product, your complexion will appear instantly more radiant, far plumper and looking replenished.

Alongside the seaweed here, which also gives the eye mask its name, you'll also find a combination of green tea extract and a green tea infusion. Green tea is knowing for detoxifying the pores; infusing the skin with more life and vibrancy; and slowing down the appearance of ageing over time. The intensity of both of these ingredients together work wonders at reducing the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, and adding some much-needed life into your skin winter-kissed skin.

Finally, Mortal Kombu features witch hazel extract which shrinks your pores and helps to soothe any redness or irritation that you may possess. Together with the other three ingredients, this mask is perfectly set to refresh the area of your face below your eyes, and help to make you look less tired, even if you'll feeling like you've been dragged through a hedge backwards.

To use, the idea is that you soak the whole disc in a cup/bowl of warm water. Too cold and you won't stimulate the seaweed to begin releasing its magical minerals; too hot and you'll damage these same minerals, and make the face mask less effective. Lush recommend that you leave the mask in there for 5-10 minutes, however I found that a little longer was needed to soften the eye mask enough to be used.

After this time, you'll be able to tear the eye mask in half alongside where Lush have marked each half, and apply each piece under one of your eyes. Leave the mask on for another 10-15 minutes and then peel away to reveal a small amount of sticky residue, which is the mineral-rich jelly that has ebbed out from the eye mark. Massage this gently under your eyes and then leave it to be absorbed into the skin. Lush suggest that you then wipe the residue away with a pad. However, I left it on under the area was completely dry, and then dabbed the skin to remove the slight sticky feeling that was left.

Let's be honest and say that you won't find that your dark circles have completely disappeared: you have to be reasonable and understand that a handful of ingredients cannot erase something that's been created over a number of years. However, I did notice that my eyes looked refreshed and clearer; the dark areas did appear a little lighter and not as prominent; and my skin also felt genuinely soft and velvety smooth. 

For £1.50, this single-used item is a must have for those who work/study long hours, or for those like myself who suffer from sleep deprivation for whatever reason. These little discs of magic really do allow you to look slightly more approachable after using one, and even the process of taking the time to treat yourself will do wonders for your mood. I hope these become a permanent member of the Lush family in the future, as they're super beneficial, and can be used on the many long haul flights I have ahead of me.

Flotsam Soap

As someone who has grown up in a coastal village, minutes from the beach, I relate well to products that mimic the scent or the experience of the seaside. Not only do the smells conjure up memories of my childhood, and the many summers that I spent exploring the cliffs and rocky beaches of the island, but they help to take me away from the hustle and bustle of London, which is always a welcome bonus.

Flotsam Soap was definitely a product that won me over on the design itself. While the siege demeanour might not have made it the most colourful of soaps, the fact that it was shaped like a sandcastle gave it a little magic, and made it a little more special. That's not to say that the aroma that hit my nose immediately afterwards didn't dispel this happiness for a few seconds, but I could appreciate it far more once I'd gotten used to it for a while.

Containing lemon and lavender oils, Irish moss gel and seaweed, you can almost imagine the aroma that Flotsam offers. While some consumers have described it as pertaining a fragrance reminiscent of fish, my nose is able to decipher that it smells much more like the dried seaweed smell you get when visiting a beach towards the end of the day.

Sharing its scent with the Big Blue family, the soap offers a fresh, mild lavender scent with a touch of lemon and a little seaweed. Together, they create something that is both herbal and strangely green-like, with the lemon elevating the scent a little and making it a little more uplifting.

What is great about this soap is that the presence of the sand adds a little roughness during use, and your skin can be gently buffered as you massage this across your body. Furthermore, the inclusion of the Irish moss makes this soap a little squidgy to the touch, so it's far easier to create a lather from it than some of the other soaps I have tried.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest aspects that I didn't like about this soap was the fact that it shrunk super quickly, even though the design itself made it slightly more fiddly to use in the shower. When left on the shelf, this soap also has a tendency to dry far quicker than other Lush variations, so this doesn't leave me much hope for what it could do to my skin. In fact, my skin did feel rather taut after using this so I needed to moisturise every time I used this.  

While I enjoyed the smell because of the memories attached to such a fragrance, I cannot say that it was one I was particular excited about washing my skin with, and the smell only served to intensify under the heat of the running water. While I would usually love the Big Blue fragrance, I don't think it worked that well in this format.

On the positive side, this is a soap that does offer a robust smell, both in the shower and afterwards. Having said that, this was not a smell I was hoping would linger around for long. Luckily, it is the lavender and lemon that seems to permeate the skin a little more, and it almost gave me a sense of Sea Vegetable Soap when I smelled it an hour later. 

Overall, this was definitely a great novelty soap when it came to the design and the concept behind it. However, there was nothing here that tempted me to buy another one. A one-off experience is all that is needed here, and I think I would rather use this as a hand soap than a entire body one in the future.

Quantitative Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Rapeseed Oil and Coconut Oil, Irish Moss, Sand, Lavender Oil, Perfume, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Seaweed Absolute, Glycerine, Sodium Chloride, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Sodium Hydroxide, *Linalool, *Geraniol, *Limonene, *Geraniol, *Limonene, *Citral.

Big Blue Egg Bath Bomb

Sometimes I think that Lush are super creative and inspired, and that's why I love and support the company so much. Then there are other moments when they bring out a product that doesn't seem as if much thought has gone into it at all. Such is the case during Easter 2017, when the company released four bath bombs that were exactly like the regular ones you could buy in store, albeit shaped like an egg instead.                                                                    

While the novel idea made for some great egg hunts for those who didn't want to divulge in the chocolate variety, and they were certainly more ethically sound when compared to the sugar-filled rubbish that lined the supermarket shelves, for regular fans it filled four places that we'd rather have seen a handful of brand new releases instead.

Gripe aside, there is no denying that Big Blue Egg is a bath bomb that'll leave you feeling wonderfully pampered. Sharing everything with Big Blue Bath Bomb, this limited edition is the perfect product for those after something super soothing and moisturising on the skin. Pop one of these bad boys in the tub and you'll left feeling like you've brought the ocean into your bathroom.    

The bath bomb is packed with seaweed, so much so that you'll find yourself laying on a bed of the stuff when you're relaxing under the water. The type of kelp Lush use is called Arame seaweed, which softens in your hot bath water and helps you to relax. Not only is Arame rich in vitamins and minerals including iodine, which help to regulate the metabolism and help you to feel calm and collected, but its softening properties are impressive enough to leave an instant impression on the body.

Big Blue Egg also contains lemon and lavender oils, which both add to the overall aroma of the product as well as benefitting the skin as well. The former ingredient is known for cleaning out the pores, clearing and unwinding the mind, and gives the ballistic a sweet, citrusy scent. The lavender oil, which works as a cleanser, smoothens out your skin and leaves a slight herbal element in the mix. Those with sensitive skin will appreciate that this aforementioned ingredient also calms and soothes the body, and helps to reduce the redness of any forms of irritation.

Finally, the inclusion of the salt helps to remove dead skin as well as once again cleansing the pores even further. The inclusion of the minerals in salt adds to the softness of the water, and the reason why your skin will feel incredible after using one of these.

As to be expected from the colour of this bath bomb, the water transforms into a vivid blue, once Big Blue Egg has fully dissolved, and the scent and the colour stays with you for the entirety of the bath. My skin felt super smooth and soft after using this; it didn't feel tight or in any way dry. The fragrance lingered on my body and lasted until the following day, which was a nice surprise. 

My only problem with this bath bomb, as with her older sister, is that the seaweed becomes rather annoying trying to scoop it out of the water afterwards. For this reason, I would recommend little this dissolve whilst sitting in a sieve so that the seaweed is caught before it begins to pattern your bath tub. 

This is definitely not something I need or would want to buy again, simply because I have Big Blue to do that, and it appears cheaper than this seasonal special. However, there is certainly not anything about this bath bomb that I would change.

Sea Vegetable Soap  

Turtle Immersion Jelly Bath Bomb

It's a sad fact that many sea turtles are killed each year due to plastic debris in the ocean. They eat floating plastic bags thinking that they are jellyfish and other small pieces of plastic that get tangled in seagrass. This bath bomb is a small reminder to everyone to not only be conscious of how much plastic they use in their lives, but also to make consumers aware that more needs to be done to reduce our carbon footprints. 

Turtle and Turtle Immersion (originally called Mama and Baby Turtle Jelly Bombs) are two of the same kind, albeit different sizes for those who want to select how intense they want their experience to be. Both sharing their scent with the Geo Phyzz Bath Bomb, this Lush Summit is not only a beauty to look at, but one that smells equally good as well.

Made from a collaboration of cypress, sandalwood and pine, this is definitely one of Lush's more naturally uplifting and clean smelling fragrances. As I stated in my review of Geo Phyzz, it is the pine oil that makes the biggest impression here - offering a dry, green-like aroma that smells like a freshly cut Christmas tree. It's robust and full-bodied and lingers in your bathroom hours after you've drained away the water. 

Alongside the pine oil is the cypress oil, which adds an almost clinical smell that reminds of the Vicks Vapour Rub gel that you might use to clear a blocked nose and help you to breathe better. In a way, this element reminds me very slightly of what menthol crystals do, albeit slightly different in scent.   

There is something very crisp and clean about the smell of these bath bombs - that give you a sense of clarity afterwards and make perfect early morning companions. Using one of these will definitely wake you up and prepare you both mentally and physically for the day ahead.

What sets this bath bomb apart from its older sibling is that it doesn't contain anywhere near the amount of sea salt. This prevents the bath bomb from being as heavy as Geo Phyzz, therefore it is able to float on the surface of the water without sinking to the bottom. Furthermore, as this is a jelly bomb, it has many more moisturising properties than its predecessor, meaning that your experience is far more beneficial for your skin. 

In the water, Mama/Baby Turtle begins to fizz and send out wave after wave of thick, vibrant green and blue froth. As the sodium alginate begins to react with the water, a layer of slimy, jelly-like foam begins to coat the surface and thicken the water around it. Once the bath bomb has fully dissolved, you are left with a very gooey coat of green that takes a good 10-15 minutes to dissipate into the water. 

During this time, you may find that the slime will coat your skin and the edges of the bath tub, and create a mess that some people are put off by about Lush's new jelly bombs. However, once it has fully dissolved in the water, you are simply left with a tub full of very moisturising, silky-soft water to bathe in. While I not that much of a fan of the jelly bombs, I do appreciate how nourished they make my skin feel during and afterwards.

Given the size of these bath bombs, you could definitely divide them into two and use them for multiple bathing experiences, and given how moisturising they are will definitely feel the benefits of using a half or a quarter at a time. Unlike some of Lush's other jelly bombs, these ones also contained agar agar strands (which I found when crushing up a few pieces in the water) and these only intensified how soft the water became.

Ultimately, this is a really effective bath bomb: one that leaves your skin feeling velvety soft and super clean, and smelling very slightly of pine for a short while after your experience. The fragrance was strong enough to stay with me throughout the whole bath and even my hair felt and looked more moisturised because of the exposure to the water.

Luckily, the tub was easy to rinse afterwards and I didn't find that I had to scrub any unwanted grime, despite the fact that I know other consumers have complained about staining and mess after using one of these. I would most certainly buy one of these again and I only hope that they make an appearance in shops across the country really soon.

Big Blue Body Conditioner

Looking at the range of regular bath bombs that Lush currently offer, I'll be honest and say that Big Blue would be one of my last choices. This is by no means a reflection of how wonderful the bath bomb is, and I certainly recognise the merits it possesses as a best-selling product. However, it is rare that I ever get the urge to use one in the bath, and this is mostly down to its smell.

Containing a large dosage of seaweed and lavender, the fragrance of both the bath bomb, and indeed the body conditioner, is very potent. This is not for the faint-hearted and definitely not one for those who dislike rather heady smells. In as many words, Big Blue is like a kick in the teeth, albeit less aggressive and more rewarding for the skin.

When I first found out that Lush were bringing out Big Blue as one of their six exclusive body conditioners, I was a little perplexed as to why it had been chosen from the many other fragrances that I would have envisaged as being  far more popular in the Lush community. Reading reviews from others before mine had arrived also prompted me to believe that this wasn't going to be a revered choice amongst Lush fans either. 

I'll be honest and say that an initial sniff of the product when it arrived did cause a slight negative reaction from myself - a scrunching up of a nose and a grimace for starters. Yet, once I had gotten used to the smell, and when I actually found myself thoroughly enjoying the product the next day in the shower, I realised that it had taken some unwarranted slack from the community that I wanted to rectify.

What I will say is that the body conditioner is almost identical to the bath bomb. There is a strong note of lavender that sits near enough at the top, which offers a brassy, herbal offering that is almost slightly neurotic because of how powerful it comes across in this format. Alongside this, the woody and equally herbaceous seaweed projects another smell that rivals that of the lavender. While it's difficult to describe the aroma of seaweed, there is something about it that gives this product that 'beach vibe'. 

How I think Big Blue Body Conditioner differs from the bath bomb is that the lemon shines through more on the latter. You can distinctly make out the citrus element in the lotion, but I don't think it has as much of an impact as it does in ballistic format. For this reason, the fragrance of the body conditioner is slightly stunted, and I wouldn't say it's as bright or refreshing as you would be expecting. That's not to say that it doesn't replicate the scent of Big Blue well; just that the conditioner is a little more cloudy and condensed when it comes to the scent. 

On the positive side, this product is as hydrating, moisturising and nourishing on your skin as all of the other body conditioners. In addition, it also works wonders at making your skin feel radiant and supple for the most part of the day. This would be perfect for the summer months because Big Blue would not only replenish the skin of any moisture that has been lost in the heat, but it would also create a barrier to could protect your skin for hours afterwards.

Furthermore, this particular body conditioner has probably the most impressive scent longevity than any of the other variations that came out at the same time, in the Lush Kitchen. I used this on my skin one morning before work, and found that I could still smell it on my skin when I showered after my gym session at 8pm that same day. While this could be detrimental for those who dislike strong-smelling cosmetics, I can assure you that I was able to wear a perfume over the top of the smell of this and didn't find that it clashed or outshone the fragrance.


As with most of Lush's products, this one is incredibly versatile, and while the £29.95 price tag may seem a little daunting to those unsure of such a big commitment, it is definitely worth the investment. You can use this as both a body conditioner and a shaving foam, and I've even heard of people using this in replacement of a body lotion. Whichever way you choose to use yours, I can guarantee that you'll not be left disappointed with the results. 

First and foremost, you can use it as Lush intended - as a body conditioner. After using a gel, jelly or soap to clean yourself with, step out of the flow of the water and apply the product across your skin, as you would a body lotion. It wont lather up, and may disappear really quickly, but this is because it is designed to permeate the skin. The heat from the shower will have opened up your pores and made your skin more susceptible to the butters and oils featured in the ingredients list. Once applied, you can either step back under the flow of the water to rinse your body down, or exit the shower immediately and pat yourself down lightly. 


Unlike a body lotion, a conditioner creates a barrier of moisture around your skin, which may feel slightly greasy to some, and might prevent you from being able to apply your clothes until you've given it time to absorb into the skin. I can assure you that this will lessen within the first thirty minutes of application, and you'll feel much better afterwards.

With Big Blue, I found that an amount equal to that of a heaped teaspoon was more than enough to coat an entire leg, so you really don't need to use that much each time to get amazing results. Please also be aware that you wont necessarily be able to see the product when you're massaging it across an area of skin as it does tend to absorb really quickly. However, this does not mean that you should apply any extra and waste the product - the results after you rinse yourself down will speak for themselves.

Secondly, this body conditioner works as an excellent shaving foam. Simply apply a small amount across your legs and shave your legs as usual. You'll be left with super-soft skin, and one of the closest shaves you have ever experienced. Finally, you could also use this as a body lotion, as there doesn't appear to be anything featured that could damage or irritate your skin if left on for long periods of time. The only issue I have with this latter method is that it may leave your body feeling rather greasy, so may only work as an intense moisturiser for those who have incredibly dry skin.

While I was skeptical at first that I would even enjoy this body conditioner, after all of the negative press that it received from other Lush fans, I found that it was exactly as I envisaged it would be. Although I would have appreciated the lemon to be a little more dominant in the overall fragrance, I cannot fault the conditioner for smelling almost identical to that of the bath bomb it was trying to replicate.

Usability-wise, this conditioner does everything that you would want it too, and then outshines the other variations with its bold and uplifting scent. While it wouldn't be at the top of my list of favourite conditioners, I cannot say that it deserves to be anywhere near the bottom either.
