Sex Bomb Shower Gel



Those who have been following my blog for a while will know that Lush shower gels were always my favourite aspect about the company. Any new bottles of colourful liquid and I was all over them like a rash, which is exactly the same reaction I gave when I first found out that Lush were bringing out six brand new bottles of the stuff earlier this year.

Despite the fact that most of the limited editions wouldn't have been ones I would have chosen to make into shower gels myself, I was willing to give each of the variations a fair trial without any preconceived ideas about what I should or would expect. And as it turned out, there were definitely some surprises along the way...   

Sex Bomb is perhaps the shower gel I was most surprised about, only because I don't really hold much of an opinion about the original bath bomb that this release has been named and influenced by. I could probably describe the classic bomb as being 'nice' and 'lovely' if I wanted but I'll be honest and say that it's a product that doesn't really inspire me very much at all. It's by no means bad, it's just not particularly interesting.

However, I will say straight away that this limited edition shower gel showcases the Sex Bomb scent perfectly, and fans of the bath bomb will be absolutely delighted with the result. In fact, I would go as far as to say that the fragrance is far more suited to this format than the bath bomb, so the aroma is much more pronounced and stronger, without taking away from the original concept in any way.

In the bottle, this limited edition presents all of the key components so wonderfully that it's a pleasure to simply sniff the gel and take in all of the main elements. Clary sage and ylang ylang oil; jasmine absolute and synthetic musk, Sex Bomb Shower Gel is a light, sensual floral smell, with elements of natural sweetness to boot. In addition, you also get the gentle herbal properties of the clary sage coming through a little more strongly than in other formats, which almost gives this gel certain refreshing qualities about it as well.

What I think that Lush have done well is to produce the fragrance perfectly, without losing any of the key elements that go into making this popular scent. At the same time, they've also added strength to the smell itself so that the gel is not as dusty or as delicate as the bath bomb. This has served the scent well.

What I also loved about Sex Bomb Shower Gel was that the format is very silky-smooth whilst being slightly on the thinner side. This meant that I didn't need very much to produce an impressive amount of thick, creamy and very foamy lather. Yet, at the same time, its properties left my skin feeling instantly clean and smooth and shiny, all at the time.

In fact, I think it is the inclusion of the passion fruit juice that makes all of these wonderful miracles happen. I truly believe that these fruit juices leave your skin looking and feeling radiant, and at the same time I am sure that it is this very same ingredient that elevates the overall scent of this as well. It's pure magic.

Adding on to this, the gentle combination of jasmine, clary sage and musk lingered on my skin for a good couple of hours after I had towelled myself down. Furthermore, I found that using this before bed was a sure find way to ensure that I fell into a deep sleep very quickly, as it was super efficient at making me feel relaxed and good about myself.

Despite note being at all interested in using or promoting Sex Bomb Bath Bomb, I was very surprised by how much I took to the shower gel and how much I enjoyed the experience far more than I ever imagined that I would. Fans of the bath bomb will no doubt be incredibly pleased with the result of this limited edition shower gel and I will continue to use this before bed each and every night.

Amelia Kringle Bauble Bath Melt





Despite the fact that the sun is shining outside of my window, my sole mission this afternoon was to bathe with a product that's been with me since the end of Christmas 2018. Why I still hadn't used this bauble up until now was simple, and something I have already explained in some of my other reviews of the products that came out alongside this one.

During December of last year, an array of beautiful bauble bath melts and tablets appeared on Instagram, followed quickly by the naked stores in Germany and Japan. Sporting gorgeous colours and a variety of scents, consumers wondered if they'd ever be able to get their hands on the little gems, as they really were quite gorgeous. After a little confusion, they appeared on Lush's website a few hours after Christmas day, only to disappear completely after a couple of hours and never to make a return.

Amelia Kringle was one of four bauble bath melts to feature in the flash sale and would have perhaps been one of the most popular ones, given what it had to offer fans. Sharing its scent with the Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment Bath Oil, this bauble showcased the seasonal Snow Fairy fragrance much like its older sibling does.

With a circumference roughly 7cm wide and with a thickness a little under a centimetre, this is definitely one of the biggest bath melts that Lush have ever unleashed into the world. While it is definitely a very intense experience to put the whole thing into the tub at once, I would suggest that you cut this into three or four pieces, as that would make it much better value for money. 

You certainly don't need to use the entire melt in one go and it would be far less messy breaking off pieces whilst its dry than hanging or storing the tablet once it's already been in the water. As the etching on the front of the melt dissolves first in the water, there is nothing particularly pretty about hanging a blob of pale pink butters around your room afterwards. For this reason, dividing this into four pieces would be a much better and slightly less messier way of enjoying this bauble.


When it comes to Snow Fairy scented products, there is always very little to go by from the ingredients list as most of the fragrance comes from the synthetic musk and perfume that is added in. What I will say is that Amelia Kringle offers a sweet and playful smell that has elements of both raspberry bubblegum and vanilla musk.

These two components offer consumers a gentle and very simplistic aroma and is very in-keeping with the aforementioned bath oil above. In fact, the only difference between the two is that the smell of this bauble is perhaps slightly stronger than the miniature bath oil, but at the same time is also a little less 'fruity' as well.

Once in the water, Amelia Kringle rests on the surface and slowly ebbs streams of pastel pink oils under and across the surface. These oils and butters tend to linger around the product at first so you have to swish it around with the piece of string to help it dissolve across the whole tub. After using half of one of these baubles, I found that the water turned a strange colour, which I would almost describe as being like pink and beige mixed together. It certainly wasn't the most appealing of colours but I was at least grateful that some form of colouration happened. 


What I will say is that I could definitely detect a change in the consistency of the water and I found that my skin felt smoother and softer within minutes. After towelling myself down, I could really notice how nourished my skin looked and felt and this is something that I felt was perhaps intensified somewhat because of the size of the bath melt I was using.

Another great point about Amelia Kringle was the fact that the fragrance stayed with me throughout my entire bath and I was able to smell gentle remnants of it on my skin afterwards as well. While these lingering notes were fairly subtle, it was still a lovely way to send myself off to bed.

Overall, this wasn't the most interesting of baubles to look at, neither did it pertain a smell that I find myself getting overly excited about. However, this bauble did an amazing job with my skin; offered a strong enough experience that it was prolonged past the bath itself; and would have made Snow Fairy fans really excited to try their favourite scent out in a new format. I only hope that Lush choose to bring these back again this year so that the rest of the world can try them out for size.

Quantitative Ingredients: Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Sodium Bicarbonate, Laureth 4, Cream of Tartar, Perfume, Organic Shea Butter Extra, Virgin Coconut Oil, Almond Oil, Chamomile Powder, Marshmallow Root Powder,  Marigold Powder, Synthetic Musk, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, *Limonene, Colour 45410, Colour 14700, Colour 17200, Colour 47005.

White FUN Bar




Maybe it's just my primary school mind that finds the funny side of some Lush's more simplistic-sounding product names. Whenever I see something without a clever pun or a witty tag line, I always imagine how blunt the children in my class can be, and what would happen if we put them in charge of naming other products. It always gives me a little something to giggle about.

White FUN Bar would never win any awards for its name for sure, and it doesn't take any intelligence to work out how simple this product was to make. While we cannot expect any colourful magic to be happening in our showers with this one, the fragrance itself is enough to leave you fully satisfied ..and possibly feeling a little peckish at the same time.

Sharing its scent with the Butterball range, this little tube of white replicates the creaminess of this scent family perfectly. The musk offers a beautifully sweet, vanillary aroma, while the addition of the ylang adds a delicate note of floral underneath. I'd go as far as to say that this FUN Bar is easily the creamiest rendition of this scent family that I have ever experienced; it's like rich, melted vanilla ice cream. 
What I love about especially about White FUN is that the texture is a little softer than the other bars, so it almost melts in your hand and creates the most beautifully thick, creamy lather. This abundance of foam to wash with is far more than I have experienced with most of Lush's other FUNs, which is strange because I cannot work out anything from the ingredients list to suggest why this may be. I'm not going to question a good thing though.

Just like Lush's shower gels and other FUN Bars, this bar leaves your skin really clean and with a creamy, sultry vanilla fragrance to accompany you for a good couple of hours after your shower. While it's not as moisturising as the gels and jellies, I found that this was perhaps the most nourishing of the FUN Bars, meaning that I did notice how soft my skin felt afterwards.

Secondly, FUN can be used in much the same way as a bubble bar: crumbling a small piece under the running tap to produce some bubbles as part of a cocktail. Although I don't really need to state this, you certainly don't get any colour when using the bar in this way, even though the fragrance was still there for me to enjoy. Used alongside a classic Butterball Bath Bomb would make for an amazing experience.

Finally, this FUN bar can be used as a replacement for a shampoo. While I haven't tried this (due to the number of new shampoos that Lush have unleashed on us recently) I can imagine it would lather up well and leave your hair smelling super gorgeous afterwards. Although I should probably state that given how sticky this one gets when in contact with water, there is a possibility that you'll end up with little pieces accumulating throughout your locks.
As I wanted to preserve this bar for as long as possible, I chose to cut a small piece off for each shower, and found that I could use a piece the size of a large sultana and get a full body wash out of it. Despite the size of the FUN Bar, this product could easily be preserved for a good couple of months with daily usage.

Fans of the Butterball scent will definitely want to get their hands on this rendition, as it is simply gorgeous in every way. As I've said in some of my other Liverpool exclusive reviews, I only hope that this becomes available online so that consumers around the world can enjoy this bar as much as I have been doing.

Yokozuna Bath Bomb




Oh boy, oh boy! While the excitement of so many new bath bombs has still yet to wear off, the last couple of experiences I have had have definitely put a dampener on the whole process. Not even 24 hours after I scrubbed down the bath following my Fairy Trumpets fiasco, I found myself doing the same thing once again for this little cretin.

Yokozuna was perhaps the bath bomb that I had researched the most before trying it out for size myself; only because it was described as having both the Sea Salted Caramel and Butterball scents at the same time. Although I wasn't successfully able to envisage what an amalgamation of these two smells would be like, the mere thought of this pairing had me salivating from the word go. 

What I will say about this exclusive product is that the Butterball components are far stronger than the Sea Salted Caramel, which is a little disappointing as I was hoping for it to be the other way around. Having said that, Yokozuna is definitely a very beautiful smelling bath bomb, and one that fans of foody smells will no doubt relish in the thought of.

When I first smelled this out of its box, the main scent I could detect was a sweet, creamy and very musky vanilla fragrance: just as you'd expect a Butterball-scented product to offer you. However, as the scent came out of its shell a little more, I recognised the key notes of the sea salted caramel, and that's when the bath bomb began to impress me a little more. 

There is something rather rich and sultry about the smell of this: like a freshly made pan of salted caramel sauce with just the tiniest sprinkling of clove underneath. Yet at the same time, the aroma has a musky, powdery sweetness that comes from the vanilla absolute as well. Therefore, there are times when I would describe the notes to be almost syrup-like, and other times when it's almost like a burnt vanilla instead. Either way, it's a lovely gentle fragrance that warms and comforts your senses before it's even made its way into the bath.

What was also impressive about Yokozuna was that it featured a very generous helping of coarse sea salt, which really made a difference in the water and left my skin feeling really clean and smooth. Although I wouldn't describe this as being overly moisturising, it definitely leaves a lovely impression on the body, and I didn't need to use a body lotion afterwards.

Having said that, my experience turned sour very quickly after placing this bath bomb in the water. Not only was it an incredibly fast-fizzer - completely dispersing in under a minute - but it didn't offer anything in the way of bath art, aside from the vibrant shade of orange that spread itself very quickly around the tub. 

Just like Fairy Trumpets, the bath bomb left a glean on the surface, which I was hoping would mean my experience would be super nourishing. However, within a matter if minutes, I watched in horror as these oils dispersed across the surface of the water and painted my bath tub another shade of bright pink. Using a flannel near by to attempt a removal of the colour before it became too stubborn, I discovered very quickly that the pink stains were not going to wash off without the help of my bottle of bathroom cleaner.

As if my experience wasn't already tarnished, when I went to exit the tub I discovered that I had large pink stains across my chest, stomach and right arm. After using up an entire scrub in the shower immediately after, I was able to get rid of the pink marks. However, by that stage my impression of this supposedly 'cute' bath bomb was well and truly tarnished.

While the collaboration of fragrances are delicious and the bath bomb itself offers a wonderfully adorable design, this is definitely not one that will be coming anywhere near my tub again. This is a real shame because the scent was super present during and after my bath, and I was still able to smell remnants of the smell on my skin as well.    

Quantitative Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Coarse Sea Salt, Perfume, Ylang Ylang Oil, Clove Leaf Oil, Tonka Absolute, Brazilian Vetivert Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Musk, Dipropylene Glycol, DRF Alcohol, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Limonene, Colour 15985:1, Colour 19140:1, Colour 77491, Colour 15850:1, Colour 77266.

Butterball Perfume Oil



Although I've been using this perfume oil longer than any of the others, I have purposely chosen to leave the review of this until now, simply because I have been very unsure of what to make of it. I certainly don't want any of my reviews to be in any way misleading, and I also don't want to be negative about a product without good reason. However, I feel as if I have had enough experience of using Butterball Perfume Oil to know where I stand with this release.

One of five brand new perfume oils to be released from Lush a couple of weeks ago, this scent is one of my go-to fragrances over the winter period. There is something so beautiful and elegant about the scent of this that proves itself time and time again to be amazingly comforting. While simplistic and not a personal favourite, I was actually really excited about trying both this and the liquid perfume out. My interest was roused even further when I removed the lid of this oil and took my first sniff.

From the bottle, Butterball smells almost identical to that of the original bath bomb it is based on. My nose detected a wonderfully warm, rounded vanilla smell, with a light muskiness about it that fans of this aroma will know and love. The subtle tracings of ylang ylang sat under the surface - elevating the fragrance just slightly and adding a gentle, floral aroma.

How it differed very slightly from the bath bomb, and more noticeably from the body lotion, body conditioner and shower jelly, is that the inclusion of the cocoa butter smell was not as prominent as it has been known to be in these other formats. The smell on offer here is far lighter and more powdery, and not as chocolately at all.

On my skin, Butterball Perfume Oil offered near-on the exact same smell. While it did dampen a little over the first matter of minutes, the vanilla absolute was definitely the leading note overall. Wearing this scent felt very much as if I had sprinkled a load of icing sugar onto my skin and added a touch of cocoa butter to the mix.

As I have explained in my reviews of all of the perfume oils, these products can be used in one of many ways, which is what makes these little bottles of oils so versatile. The traditional way is to actually apply the oil directly to your clothes, which you can do so by popping a couple of drops into the palm of your hands; massaging it between your hands; and then gently stroking your hands across your clothes to allow for even courage.

The reason why you're supposed to do it this way, and not apply it directly to your clothes, is that it's very difficult to control the amount of oils that come out of the bottle at any one time. Too much oil applied to a piece of clothing could potentially cause permanent oil stains, which are very hard to remove. Furthermore, it also makes it very difficult to spread the oil across a large space, as it will have automatically soaked into the garment as soon as it made contact with it.

As most consumers will no doubt want to do by default, you can also apply the perfume directly to your pulse points: your inner wrists, your temples, and even along your jawline. Simply dab a little of the oil straight from the bottle to these areas, and then briefly massage a little to stimulate the oils from the heat of your skin. The warmth of your body will help to strengthen the sillage of the fragrance, and help it to remain on the skin for as long as possible.

As I tend to do with my solid perfumes, you can also apply this to your beard, or ends of your hair, to carry the perfume in another manner. In fact, this is probably my favourite way of wearing solid perfumes and perfume oils because every slight breeze will offer you a little taste of the smell you are using. In addition, the oils featured in the ingredients will also help to moisturise your hair a little whilst its on there.

When it came to Butterball, I chose to try it on my skin, clothes and hair, and see which method heeded the strongest and longest lasting results. What I found was that applying it to my clothes helped this oil to stay with me for a good 3-4 hours, whereas on the hair and skin it tended to fade within the first hour.

Unlike some of the other oils, I found that once this one had been on the skin for around 45 minutes, I could no longer smell it at all. Even straining my nose didn't result in me getting even the slightest whiff of this scent at all, which is what made it disappointing. 

I'll be honest and say that the liquid perfume didn't have the longest life either. However, I only had to reapply it a single time to see me through the day. With Butterball Perfume Oil, I found that I was having to reapply every hour, if I wanted to appreciate the smell, and this just isn't conducive to anyone's daily schedule.

Overall, while the smell is a good replica of this fragrance family, the longevity of the smell lets the oil down immensely. I've heard that some consumers like to use their solid perfumes as replacements for wax melts, and I'm wondering whether or not the same could be done with the perfume oils. This might be  a great way of experiencing the smell in a more intense manner, and I'm almost tempted to buy a oil burner to find out for myself.

Butterball Liquid Perfume



I'll be honest and say that there was a small level of disappointment from myself when I discovered that this was going to be one of the perfumes this year. I don't think I'm alone in saying that Yummy Mummy Perfume is very much overdue from the company. While I cannot really complain, as I'm one of only a handful of people to have ever experienced Peeping Santa Liquid Perfume, there was still a tiny voice inside, telling me that Yummy Mummy would have been so much better. Grudges aside, a lot of fans of the 'classic' fragrance will no doubt appreciate that they can finally hold their favourite smell in the perfume format, and for this I am glad.

Butterball is easily one of the long-standing fragrances that Lush have ever had. The simple but popular bath bomb has held a place in shops and online for longer than most of the other bath products available to this day. Simple in design and scent, this is a fragrance for people who don't want something overpowering or too complex. Sometimes consumers and companies can get a little carried away with how much they put into their aromas, and the phrase 'less is more' can sometimes ring very true.

From the bottle, this limited edition smells exactly as I was expecting it to. With notes of both musk and ylang ylang, what I could detect with my nose was a powdery sweet smell with a little floral note thrown in for good measure. These two lace around each other like a dance between two swans, and offer something rather comforting and warming for your senses.

On the skin however, the smell begins to transform somewhat, and the sultry elements begin to take shape. While initially you get the same two components as you did before spraying, all of a sudden there is a rich, creamy layer that makes itself known. Although there is nothing in the ingredients list to suggest where this comes from, fans of the bath bomb will know that Butterball contains a very generous helping of cocoa butter. It is this slightly chocolately element that joins the force and grounds the ylang ylang and the musk just slightly. 

Given the composition of these three notes, I would say that Butterball Liquid Perfume replicates the bath bomb far more than it does the recent body lotion, or indeed the body conditioner from a couple of years ago. This liquid perfume lacks a stronger, thicker layer of the cocoa butter to fall back on. If we're comparing it to the original fragrance of the bath bomb, this is spot on, and perhaps only differs by the mildly stronger note of vanilla that is present here. However, if you're after something far more chocolately and wholesome, you may be a little discouraged.

In all honesty, I wasn't blown away by this release. Butterball is not one of my favourite scents, and it's not the sort of aroma that I would necessarily choose to wear as a perfume. However, I cannot take away how well it does replicate the original smell, and I need to make that point very clear.

What I will say is that the longevity of Butterball Liquid Perfume is roughly about two hours, although it does last far longer on clothing. As it's rather subtle to begin with, the scent fades quicker than some of Lush's other liquid perfumes. However, I really enjoyed spraying this on my scarf in the mornings before work, and being able to detect subtle notes of the perfume when I was coming home in the evenings.

This is not a perfume I feel like raving about but fans of this aroma will appreciate it a lot. For £19, this is a bargain for sure, despite my personal experience and lack of enthusiasm for this particular scent. Had this been stronger and chocolately, I would have no doubt felt a little more fervently about it, but I love the fact that it has stayed true to the classic Butterball aroma.

Angel Hair Solid Shampoo


Given how much trouble my hair causes me, there's a part of me that believes it needs a good, hard slap to wake it up. Yet, violence is never the answer, and what it most probably needs is lots of tender, loving care. After refusing to take care of it for a good part of my life: cutting it myself with regular scissors; bleaching and dying it until it fell out in clumps; forgetting to brush it for weeks on end, I only have myself to blame for the mane I've ended up with today. Therefore, this latest release from Lush sounded like the perfect remedy for locks that are calling out to be loved.

Angel Hair is one of six limited edition shampoo bars that Lush recently released for consumers to sample and review, and the third one I have managed to test out myself. Sharing its scent with the Butterball range, this is probably one of the most popular ones out of the half dozen, and easily one of my favourites for many reasons. 

Featuring rose water, this limited edition shampoo bar is perfect for calming and soothing the skin. While this is not something I suffer from, I know many people who seem to develop pockets of dandruff in the colder months, or simply have a sensitive scalp that reacts to any new product that is introduced into their routine. This ingredient ensures that this won't happen when using this shampoo.

Alongside rose water, Angel Hair also features aquafaba - a liquid created from the brine of chickpeas - which is known for being super high in protein. This ingredient not only strengthens and supposedly adds shine to the hair, but helps to create the thick but light foam that the shampoo bar produces when it's massaged with a little water. 

To use, you simply wet it slightly and massage between the palm of your hands. As Angel Hair is so generous, you only need to do this for a split second to produce a surplus amount of creamy foam to massage into your hair. While I would usually suggest that you could massage this directly across your head, the inclusion of the dried decoration on top would mean that you would end up with mess in your hair. Although you could always remove this beforehand as it doesn't add any benefits to the shampoo bar aside from being a pretty decoration.

As with nearly all of Lush's solid shampoo bars, these are so easy to travel with; so compact without any risk of leaking or making a mess in your bags; and will easily last you a good three months of washing your hair 2-3 times a week. Furthermore, the lack of SLS will ensure that your hair remains as looked after as it could possibly be - without coating it with anything that could damage it in the long run.

What I found with Angel Hair is that this is a shampoo bar that may need to get used to your hair before it works effectively for you. The first couple of times of using this, I found that my hair felt dry afterwards, and I wasn't too sure if I wanted to continue using it. However, I prevailed and found that by about the third/forth time, my hair began to sport that shine that Lush promised, and my locks felt so much more manageable and soft.

As I have done with all of Lush's solid shampoo bars, I used this without adding a conditioner afterwards - just to test how effective this was at cleaning my hair. What I found was that this was yet again another superior solid shampoo bar from the company. I honestly didn't feel as if I was missing out on anything by not using a conditioner afterwards, and I am convinced that I could continue using this and see even better results over time.

Using this about three times a week, I found that the bar barely changed shape, and the three month promise that Lush advertise for each of their shampoo bars, would definitely apply to this one as well. Much like most of Lush's shampoo bars, this one was gentle enough to be used every day, if you're someone that feels they need to wash their hair more often. 

While I don't think the strength of Angel Hair, or the ingredients featured would work for consumers who either like to dye their hair regularly; those with particularly greasy hair; or those wanting something more moisturising and repairing, this shampoo bar works well as just a 'normal' shampoo. I would definitely buy this again in the future.
