Luck Shower Bomb




I very much believe in making my own luck, although that doesn't mean for one second that I don't recognise the power of circumstance leading to people becoming lucky as well. Just being able to get my hands on this limited edition shower bomb was a result of my own good fortune in having such amazing people around me, and I'm always incredibly grateful for the luck that I have worked for, and the luck that has been presented to me.

Luck is one of the limited edition shower bombs to appear in the Liverpool store earlier this year, and is supposed to represent that of a lucky amulet to take into the shower with you. Whether you see the bomb as a cute little rabbit, or instead an exotic beetle or bug, you cannot deny that the beautiful turquoise shell, painted with a thin layer of silver shimmer isn't a gorgeous design from Lush. What makes it even more interesting is the fragrance that accompanies this.

While the ingredients don't match up to the original perfume, Luck supposedly shares its scent with B Never Too Busy, although I've never experienced this to verify whether this is true. What I will say is that the smell of this does remind me very much of an old-school Lush aroma, and also reminds me a little of when bath bombs get really old and present a sort of sweet, musky frargance.

To my nose, the petitgrain and the patchouli are what greet you first. There is something rather fresh and green about the smell, yet the latter ingredient also adds in a little spiciness, which works really well with the other elements as well. Both the ho wood and the petitgrain also add a gentle layer of woodiness as well, so the scent smells warming and well-rounded, yet light as well. Finally, the ylang ylang adds a sweet floral note as well; giving this shower bomb a wonderfully gentle but equally complex aroma overall.

To use, you simply need to hold Luck under the running water during your shower, where it will immediately begin to expand and create a fragrant foam in your hand within a matter of seconds. Firstly, the heat of the water will help to release the different essential oils that have gone into making the bomb, which is supposed to help alter your mood depending on the purpose of the shower bomb. 

In this case, Luck is designed to give you a little energy boost if you're struggling with a particular aspect of your life, or if you're looking for a little perk-me-up before an important day. While I used it without either of these in mind, I did find that it helped to relax my over-thinking mind for long enough to mediate for a good hour, which I consider to be a success.

Once the shower bomb has began creating its foam, the idea is that you can lather and massage this across the skin much like you would a shower gel. The inclusion of both the potato starch and the sodium alginate allow the bomb to soften and moisture the skin, while the different oils clean out the pores and leave your skin looking and smelling rather delicious.

If you're someone like me who was worried at first that the inclusion of the sodium bicarbonate and citric acid will irritate your skin, I can assure you that this is not the case at all. In fact, my only piece of advice when using this is to ensure that you haven't shaved after applying this to the skin, as it will sting a little because of the open pores.

While the consistency of the foam is slightly scratchy, and not at all like the silkiness of a regular Lush shower gel or jelly, my skin did feel really clean and soft after using the shower bomb. Furthermore, I was able to clean my entire body, from head to foot, and still have product left over afterwards. Because of this, it would be completely reasonable to cut one of these shower bombs in half and use them across two, perhaps even three, showers.

As with all of Lush's recent shower bomb releases, Luck left a lasting impression on the skin: both with how soft my body felt after I had towelled myself down, and with the wonderfully light smell that lingered on my skin for a good forty minutes following my shower.

Given my recent experiences with Lush's shower bombs, I will say that I have found myself much less pessimistic than I was at the start of my journey. While more expensive than a squirt of shower gel, these little things offer both exfoliation and an alternative way to clean yourself; which doesn't make them that bad value for money. 

Luck is a shower bomb that I would very much like to see in all stores, as the scent is very different from any of their bath bombs, and the design is simply gorgeous. I have thoroughly enjoyed using this limited edition in the shower, and I'd love to see more in this fragrance in the future.

Plum Rain Shower Jelly





Wibble, wobble, wobble, wobble, jelly on a plate...

I'll be honest and say that I wasn't overly excited about the prospect of this particular shower jelly coming out, if only because the shower gel version is available all year round online and in some stores. Whilst probably the best 'recent' shower gel that Lush have ever released, it doesn't mean that I need a solidified, wobbly version of the same thing again. However, there is always something magic about a new Lush shower jelly, and I couldn't help but pick one up after the recent Lush Community release.

What is impressive about Plum Rain Shower Jelly is that it replicates the fragrance of the original shower gel so well; and in fact I found that the scent of this was perhaps even a little better than the gel, making it even more desirable than I originally thought I would ever find it.

What made the shower gel so scrumptious was the fact that the key ingredient featured was umeboshi, which is a Japanese salt plum that has both a sweet, sour and salty taste to it. In the liquid gel format, the inclusion of this gave the shower gel a smell that sat somewhere between stewed plums and fresh apricots. Delicious to say the least.

In the shower jelly however, this component doesn't appear to be featured, and instead there is the combined force of plum oil, plum balsamic vinegar and fresh plum juice, all of which give this limited edition a scent that will have you salivating before you even enter the shower. I think it may be the plum balsamic vinegar element that makes the scent of this even sweeter and more fruity than the shower gel, and for that I am very grateful.

Alongside these fruity notes, the petigrain and osmanthus oils ground the fragrance with a fresh, green-like twist that sits just slightly below the juiciness of the plum. While there are times when I wish these elements weren't there, and that I could just appreciate the mouthwatering fruitiness by itself, these other components help to ground the smells together and give the shower jelly a depth that it would not have otherwise been able to offer.

When you begin to use Plum Rain Shower Jelly in the shower, you'll discover that it lathers up really well - creating light, frothy and very fragrant suds to massage across the skin. Although it can be a little fiddly, I found that either blending it up with a little water to create a shower gel; or cutting it up into smaller pieces to use individually, worked far better than trying to hold the whole thing in the shower at once. And when I say you need a minuscule amount, I mean that I was taking pieces that were the size of raisins in the shower and being able to wash my entire body from the foam created - meaning I've been using this beauty for the last three weeks and I have barely made a dent in the tub at all.

I would honestly choose this over the shower gel, if I had a choice, which is now the second time I have said this regarding the company's recent shower jelly release. Either my tastebuds are changing or Lush are getting better at replicating the fragrances in shower jelly format, and making their products just overly better.  

Quantitative Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Linseed Gel, Glycerine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Perfume, Organic Virgin Plum Oil, Argan Oil, Ethyl Macadamiate, Cupuaçu Butter, Fresh Plum Juice, Behentrimonium chloride, Plum Balsamic Vinegar, Osmanthus Absolute, Petitgrain Oil, Sicilian Red Mandarin Oil, Hydrolyzed Wheat Gluten, Cetrimonium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, *Citral, *Limonene, *Linalool, Colour 60725.

Aga's Silver Liquid Conditioner



The world often works in mysterious ways, and nothing says that more to me than finding a shampoo bar that works wonders for my hair, even though it's designed for those that have the complete opposite of mine. Either Lush are mixing up their product labels, or my hair simply doesn't understand English.

When I tried Aga out for the first time, there was never any doubt in my mind that this hair conditioner would work wonders for my locks. Having seen it happen with the classic Daddy-O Liquid Shampoo, I just knew that my hair would respond so quickly and offer an improvement that would be noticeable from the very first use. 

Designed for those with fair hair, this limited edition conditioner has been packed full of ingredients to not only brighten somebody's natural blonde locks, but to remove the yellow tones and brassiness of their hair as well. As somebody with more of a chestnut brown-coloured mop, this conditioner seemed very alien for what my hair seems to need. 

Yet, from the very first use, I noticed a vast improvement of many things. Firstly, this conditioner almost eradicated the need for me to brush my hair after using it. While I still did out of habit, I found that I could run my fingers through my hair without a single tangle. This was a huge deal for me, as I'm normally breaking brushes every month trying to make my hair look at the very least presentable. (This last statement may well have been a slight exaggeration.)


Secondly, I found that the natural frizziness of my hair seemed to calm quite dramatically, and I was able to wear my hair down with minimal 'tweaking'. Aside from adding a little coconut oil myself, Aga helped to bring some much-needed moisture to my hair, and I could see the beginnings of a little shine that I hadn't seen in such a long time. In fact, out of the five new vegan conditioners from Lush, this one was easily my favourite, and I can really see myself using this over a longer period of time.

As if the results weren't good enough already, the fact that this limited edition shares its scent with one of my favourite fragrances: Plum Rain, only makes it more desirable. Plum, petitgrain and mandarin oils, as well as osmanthus absolute,  go into making this conditioner super fruity but with green, grassy undertones. Imagine a pot of sweet, freshly stewed plums, with a splash of grassiness thrown in for good measure, and you may begin to understand how delicious this conditioner smells like from the bottle.

Unfortunately, the one aspect of Aga that let itself down was the fact that the fragrance didn't linger much passed washing it out in the shower. Whereas all four of the other conditioners had strong, resilient scents that lasted hours after having a shower, this one barely lasted ten minutes. While ultimately it doesn't really matter, as long as the conditioner works itself, it would have been nice to smell this all day long in my hair.

Out of the five conditioners, this also happens to be the thinnest of the lot, which meant that I tended to use a little more of Aga than I did with each of the other conditioners. For this reason, a 250g bottle of this would probably last a couple of weeks less than any of the other conditioners, which does make it a little more expensive in my eyes. 

Ultimately, this is still my favourite Lush conditioner - perhaps more so than Veganese right now. It gave my hair shine and helped to improve the  condition of my locks, with noticeable changes happening from the very first use. While the scent doesn't last, it does offer warm bursts of fruity goodness whilst you're in the shower, and the results do last until you need to condition your hair once more. I only hope that this isn't the last we see of this conditioner, as it would certainly be my number one choice of Lush hair care right now.

Quantitative Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Linseed Gel, Glycerine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Perfume, Organic Virgin Plum Oil, Argan Oil, Ethyl Macadamiate, Cupuaçu Butter, Fresh Plum Juice, Behentrimonium chloride, Plum Balsamic Vinegar, Osmanthus Absolute, Petitgrain Oil, Sicilian Red Mandarin Oil, Hydrolyzed Wheat Gluten, Cetrimonium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, *Citral, *Limonene, *Linalool, Colour 60725.

Pirates Of The Carrageenan




Oh Lush, sometimes your puns offer me as much enjoyment as the products themselves, and this recent bath bomb is no exception. If you’ve been after something to bring your pirate dreams to life in the bath, this is definitely going to take that fantasy to new Depps.

Pirates Of The Carrageenan is definitely one of those bath bombs that offers up nearly everything you could ever ask for. Firstly, the design - a bright green chest etched with a pirate skull - is gorgeous to look at. I can definitely imagine consumers purchasing this bath bomb solely on this feature alone.

Next up is the wonderfully strong aroma that will quite literally engulf any room it is left to reside in. Sharing its scent with Supertramp Shower Gel, this bath bomb offers a earthy, mossy blend of oakmoss, petigrain and patchouli: a wonderful concoction that showcases the spiciness of the latter ingredient, with strong, damp notes of the former.

The patchouli and oakmoss dance together, while the ginger adds a little touch of herbal spiciness, and the sandalwood grounds every one of the components together, and adds a warmth underneath that makes this bath bomb so special. Pirates Of The Carrageenan has a natural smell that reminds me a little of a damp forest after the rain has been: it's simply beautiful.  

This is a bath bomb that will grapple with your senses immediately, and wont let go until its final breath. If you dislike strong smells, you'll need to avoid this one like the plague: I found myself still smelling remnants of this bath bomb a full twenty four hours after I had drained the water away from my bath. This is not an experience for the faint-hearted. 

Not only does the smell permeate the room, and indeed the tub once it’s fully dissolved in the water, but the smell lingers on your skin and hair for hours afterwards, and I could even smell it on my pillow the following day. Even if you decide to cut the bomb in half and use a smaller piece in the water, I can imagine you would still get the same results in terms of strength.

While Pirates Of The Carrageenan feels quite compact and heavy in your hands, the bath bomb floats with ease on the surface of the water. Firstly, it sends out waves of bright green colour into the tub, which colours the water within a matter of seconds. Then streams of golden yellow begin to merge with the green - creating a thick, frothy puddle of colour on the surface. Once fully dissolved, the inclusion of lustre creates a wonderful golden shimmer, that pulsates and glimmers with movement.

Referencing its name, Pirates contains a generous helping of carrageenan seaweed, which turns the water into a haven of softness. You can feel how velvety the water is from the very start, and this only serves to replenish and moisturise your skin wonderfully. I could really feel how different my skin felt before and after my bath: it was incredible. Despite the inclusion of the seaweed, you’re not left with the same slimy mess that you’d expect from a jelly bomb, yet your skin will feel equally as gorgeous afterwards.


Whether it’s the design, or just how wonderful Pirates Of The Carrageenan left my skin feeling, I found this popular fragrance to be well-suited to this bath bomb, and it made me appreciate it a little more than I have done in the past. This is definitely one I would buy again, and one I would recommend to anyone looking for a bomb offering the ‘full package.’

Quantitative Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Carrageenan Extract, Kombu Powder, Patchouli Oil, Petitgrain Oil, Pimento Berry Oil, Sandalwood Oil, Ginger Oil, Cream of Tartar, Water (Aqua), Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Tin Oxide, Dipropylene Glycol, Cocamidopropyl, Betaine Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, *Eugenol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 47005, Colour 77491, Colour 42053, Colour 59040.

Naughty Elf Bubble Bar




This year a rather naughty elf has snuck into my life to reap havoc in and around my tidy house, and keep the Christmas magic alive for a very special girl in my life. Never before have I indulged in this sort of tomfoolery, and I'm actually finding it a whole lot of creative fun, especially when I see the reacts I get from my stepdaughter. 

Having said that, after the unnamed elf decided to decorate my entire bathroom with toilet roll and leave an utter mess that took a while to rectify, I thought it was time to drown my sorrows in a bath. It was only fitting then that I decided to use my Naughty Elf Bubble Bar...

When this little elf-shaped product arrived at my door, I was genuinely surprised and intrigued by the smell that greeted me. His design and Lush's normally predictable manners meant that I was expecting something either fruity or spicy. When his floral attire flew right up nose however, I was a little taken back. 

Containing violet leaf, jasmine and mango leaf absolute, alongside lemon myrtle oil, this is definitely not what I would describe as a Christmas fragrance. Were you to put the same smell into a regular bath bomb or bubble bar, I would never suggest that this was exclusively seasonal. So this is definitely something very different for consumers who perhaps don't always appreciate the predictability of Christmas scents.

To my nose, the violet leaf is the strongest component, although the jasmine sits underneath this and adds both a natural sweetness and a delicate musky note as well. There is something rather drying about the violet smell in Naughty Elf that I really appreciated, and I think the inclusion of the petitgrain oil adds a gentle green-like element to it that stops it being as sultry as it can be.

Alongside this, the lemon myrtle oil brings a sweet note as well, while also elevating the scent a little so it's a little lighter than violet scents usually are as well. In all fairness, this combination was really lovely and very different to what I was expecting, but there was also something about it that felt unsettled as if the key ingredients were clashing in some small way.

While Naughty Elf is a fairly long bubble bar, I did think he was a little on the tin side, especially given the £5.95 price tag. However, there is enough fragrance and power behind this bar that he can be chopped in half and used across two separate baths: both of which will heed you impressive results.

In the tub, this bubble bar turns the water a vivid shade of red and the bubbles that are created are impressive. In fact, I genuinely believe that this may be the most generous bubble bar of the season. Not only this but the water itself becomes immediately silky soft to the touch and you can see a delicate layer of oils that glimmer on the surface - letting you know that this is going to be a super moisturising bath.

Having said that, you definitely don't need to worry about Naughty Elf being too greasy: there is nothing about this product that will leave your skin anything but beautifully soft. I was still able to see and feel the results of this bubble bar the following day, and the smell followed me around for a good hour afterwards.

I won't deny that the fragrance of this didn't exactly blow me away, although this is more due to my tastebuds than the smell being at all bad in any way. However, Naughty Elf is super moisturising; offers a wonderfully vibrant-looking bath; and leaves your winter-kissed skin smooth, soft and ready to face the day ahead.     

Quantitative Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Cornflour, Perfume, Mango Leaf Absolute, Violet Leaf Absolute, Lemon Myrtle Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Petitgrain Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Benzyl Alcohol, *Citral, *Limonene, *Linalool, Colour 14700, Colour 45410.

Plum Pudding Bath Melt




When I look back now, I find it interesting how mesmerised I was by the array of colourful new bath bombs and bubble bars in the Christmas range, yet not as intrigued about, what I now believe to be, the best bath product from this year's seasonal range. In fact, I may go as far as to say that it may be one of the best bath products to have come from Lush in years.

Plum Pudding is a brand new bath melt to join the limited edition seasonal range this year, and what a feast it is. Although sharing its scent with the family new fragrance, Plum Rain, this exclusive beauty plays homage to one of Lush's oldest products, Ceridwan's Cauldron Bath Melt.

Wrapped in a light, purple cloth, the inside bath melt contains so many incredible ingredients - both to offer the gorgeous scent that this product carries, but also to make you really feel as if you're truly indulging in a freshly made pudding when you're using this in the bath.

Dried apricots, raisins and dates have been blended into this bath melt to offer perhaps the sweetest, fruitiest version of this fragrance possible. It really does smell like freshly stewed pears that has even left to soak in their own juices. It's a bright and very beautiful aroma that needs to be celebrated far more than it does.

Alongside this, Plum Pudding also contains osmanthus oil, which thickens the fruity elements of the product and adds a sultry wave of sweetness to the bath melt. This latter ingredient offers a richness to the scent so that this product isn't 'just a fruity' smell. Furthermore, there's a surplus of almond oil and cocoa butter featured in Plum Pudding that helps to hydrate and condition the skin, while it's in use. There are also a handful of oats thrown in here as well, which do wonders at cleansing and softening the skin.

The idea behind Plum Pudding is that you pop the whole bath melt straight into the water and leave it to do its magic. And magic is does. Within a few seconds of it floating on the surface, beautiful swirls of deep purple begin to branch out under the water, oozing out across the water, creating patterns that you simply cannot take your eyes of of.  

There is something about how this bath melt works that just puts your mind into such a restful state. As it's so quiet and unwinds really slowly, it truly helps you to relax much more than you would with a bath bomb, and I think this only served to make my whole experience that much better.

After about eight minutes, the bath melt has dissolved by around half, and it's around this point that I suggest removing Plum Pudding and leaving it to dry for a second use another time. By this stage, the water is now a beautiful shade of purple and the fruity smell coming off of it is sweet and beautifully warming. 

What impressed me with this product was that not a lot of bath melts or oils have ever managed to make such a big impression on the water as this one was able to achieve. Very few of Lush's oils and melts can turn a whole bath a shade of purple as this one did, and not many would be able to create a smell as strong as Plum Pudding also managed to achieve. Furthermore, a dash of silver lustre painted this purple a sparkly shade of magic, without leaving a mess on your skin or your tub afterwards.   

All that was left was to enjoy how incredibly moisturising the water was, and just how quickly it conditioned and replenished my skin, leaving my body feeling velvety-smooth and silky soft almost instantly. The power that this array of oils and butters had on my skin lasted throughout the entire day, and the following morning as well. I was also able to detect hints of the osmanthus and mandarin oils on my skin as well, which was a welcome bonus.

Overall, I don't think I could gush over a product any more than I have done so already. Plum Pudding is everything as beautiful as you would expect from such a concept: the design is exquisite; the smell is truly wonderful; and the magic it creates in the tub rivals that of Santa Claus. To find a collection of these in my stocking would be the best material present a girl could ever wish for. Hint. Hint.

Quantitative Ingredients: Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Laureth 4, Whole Oats, Almond Oil, Dried Dates, Dried Apricots, Raisins, Perfume, *Limonene, Osmanthus Absolute, Petitgrain Oil, Sicilian Red Mandarin Oil, Water (Aqua), Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, *Citral, *Linalool, Colour 17200, Colour 42090.

Ticket To Scrub Salt Scrub

Ticket To Scrub Body Scrub




During my four hours waiting in the queue at the Lush Showcase event earlier this year, I spent most of my time refreshing my social media and reading about other people's experiences. It was during one of these trawls that I discovered that a handful of Lush fans had managed to get their hands on an exclusive Lush Labs scrub that wasn't being sold in the shop. Needless to say, I felt a mild disappointment that I wouldn't be able to get one myself. Counting my lucky stars, I was gifted with one of these fine specimens later on in the day, and cannot understand why Lush don't want to make these available to everyone.

Sharing its scent with the incredible Plum Rain Shower Gel, Ticket To Scrub is a delight in every manner. Firstly, the pastel purple shade that it sports is perfectly fitting for the scent that it gives off. While perhaps not as rich a colour as the shower gel is, there is something rather pretty about this that I like. 
Secondly, this body scrub works so well when in this shape and size: a fact that I'm going to come back to later on. Why Lush haven't released other scrubs in a similar format is beyond me, and it seems odd that the one time that they do, it's for a product so exclusive that very few people have the privilege of experiencing it. All I can think of is that manufacturing techniques make this difficult to create in large batches.

Containing a large dosage of plum oil, and coupled with the osmanthus, petitgrain and mandarin oils as well, Ticket To Scrub is a beautifully sweet and fruity product that carries the Plum Rain fragrance well. To my nose, the plum and mandarin oils are the strongest components and create a bright but warming stewed plum aroma. Alongside this, the osmanthus offers a juicy peach-like note that compliments the fruity smells already going on here. Finally, under the water especially, you can also detect a grassy aroma as well.

While I wouldn't say that this body scrub was as strong as the body spray and shower gel, the scent that was present was definitely a good replica of the original fragrance. Having made that former point, I don't want anyone to think that the aroma of this limited edition wasn't strong at all, because it was: it was just a little more reserved than its older siblings.

What I would suggest when it comes to Ticket To Scrub is that you break the bar in half before you begin using it. This way you'll conserve the life of the product a little more and it's a little easier to use than as one big block. Having said that, I found that the pieces I were using dried dry quickly after my showers, so this is not a product that will simply turn into a sticky mess if left on the side of the bath.
Impressively, this scrub actually doesn't dissolve away as quickly as you'd think. After using this every day for an entire week, the piece that I was using has inly shrunk by about a third. I think the inclusion of the salt rather than sugar has really helped to make this scrub more robust and longer-lasting, and I hope this is something that Lush will remember when making future products.

What I adored about this body scrub was just how coarse the exfoliation was. although you could obviously press harder or lighter, depending on how firm you like your scrubs, I loved the face that I was able to scrub away until I was almost red-raw from it. This is definitely a body scrub that will clear away dirt, debris and dried skin with ease.

Afterwards, I found that my skin did need a little extra loving care, as Ticket To Scrub doesn't appear to be the most moisturising. However, this fact usually goes for most of Lush's scrubs, so it's certainly not at fault here for not being able to moisturise as well. While the beautiful fruity fragrance lingered on my skin, it was a short-lived experience, and I needed to douse myself in the body spray to continue this indulgence outside of the shower.

Ultimately, this is a fantastic scrub from Lush. A single bar will last you a lot longer than most of Lush's sugar-based scrubs, and the scrub is coarse enough to do its job well. I hope that this makes an appearance at some point, in a Lush Labs release, as I will definitely want to grab a few more myself.
