Hey everyone!
Welcome to a brand new blog post! The wonderful team at Lusb kindly sent me some of the wonderful Moomin X Lush Collaboration Range and I thought that I would two to you all about it today!
I'm super grateful for the wonderful team for sending me some of there's from this wonderful collaboration range! I have adored Noomins for years and I love everything that Tove Jansen stood for when creating the worneruo Moonin universe! I love how Moonins represented the LGBTQIA+ community from the get go and included the theme of chosen family throughout Moonins. Toffle in the 2019 Moonin iteration is even canonically identified as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns which as someone who also uses those pronouns and is nonbinary is honestly music to my ears especially when we love in a world that we do right now in the UK that has created a unbearable place for trans and non-binary people to survive in.
Moomintroll Bath Bomb (£5.50)
Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Zea Mays Starch (Cornstarch), Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil (Bergamot Oil), Lavandula Oil/Extract (Lavender Oil), Santalum Album Oil (Sandalwood Oil), Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract (Vanilla Extract), Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil (Orange Oil), Cocos Nucifera Fruit Powder (Coconut Milk Powder), Aqua (Water), Titanium Dioxide, Maltodextrin, Gardenia Jasminoides Fruit Extract (Gardenia Extract), Propylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Sodium Coco-Sulfate, Tin Oxide, *Limonene, *Linalyl Acetate, *Pinene, *Santalol, *Terpinolene, Linalool, Citronellol, Coumarin, Hydroxycitronellal, Vanillin, Parfum, CI 47005:1, CI 42053.
Is there a better way to step into the Moominvalley world by enjoying a gorgeous bath bomb inspired by Moomins?
Moomintroll bath bomb is inspired by all things Moomintroll and contains a blend of beautiful Bergamot, Vanilla, Lavender and Orange which blends to create a beautiful fragrance that in my opinion reminds me of the smell of fresh laundry being aired out in the summer air when it's warm and you can just leave everything to naturally dry on the line.
Moomintroll contains Coconut Milk Powder so you feel as soft as the laundry that has inspired the fragrance of this beautiful bath product. As someone who suffers with dry skin, I am an avid fan of anything that contains a plant milk powder when it comes to Lush products as I know that it means that my skin is going to be nourished after enjoying a fabulous bath.
If you're a fan of anything that has a sort of cloak girl vibe to it then I think that you will enjoy the scent of Moomintroll Bath Bomb. I know that my Mum adores anything with a clean scent to it so I'll definitely be grabbing one of these for her!
Moomin Delight Soap and Body Wash (£10)
Ingredients:
Aqua (Water), Brassica Napus Seed Oil (Rapeseed Oil), Glycerin, Sucrose (Granulated Sugar), Propylene Glycol, Saccharide Hydrolysate (Invert Sugar Syrup), Sodium Coco-Sulfate, Cocos Nucifera Oil (Coconut Oil/Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil), Parfum, Rubus Chamaemorus Seed Oil (Cloudberry Seed Oil), Artemisia Pallens Herb Oil (Davana Oil), Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil (Orange Oil), Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract (Agar Agar), Vanilla Planifolia Seed Powder (Vanilla Pod Powder), Rubus Idaeus Fruit (Fresh Raspberries), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Almond Oil), Cicer Arietinum Seed Extract (Aquafaba Powder), Titanium Dioxide, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Bitartrate (Cream of Tartar), Zea Mays Starch (Cornstarch), Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Sodium Bicarbonate, EDTA, Tin Oxide, Tetrasodium Etidronate, *Limonene, Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, CI 45410, CI 45410:2, CI 15985:1, CI 19140:1, CI 73360.
If you haven't used a Wash Delight before then let me talk to you all about them.. a Body wash delight from lush is inspired by a vegan marshmallow recipe and gives you something that is so soft to wash with that you'll think that you're washing with a marshmallow! Lush takes the vegan recipe to heart and even uses invert sugar syrup which is found in most veganr marshmallow recipes. Alongside this, Lush uses Agar Agar which gives the delight its light as a feather texture and ensures that your skin isn't stripped when using this delightful product.
This particular body wash delight is a two in one product as it has the soft fluffy body wash on the bottom (crafted from a mixture of Sugar and Aquafaba inspired by vegan Marshmallows) which is so light that it can float on top of water in your bath tub and on the top there's two iconic Moomin characters made out of Soap who chny I can use to cleanse yourself whilst you feel like you're floating on a cloud. I love how this product is a two in one product! I personally separated the iconic characters from the body wash and put them in my soap dish to use at the sink. I lived doing this as it meant that I could get a bit of feeling like I like on Moominvalley even if it's not when I'm in the bath and just quickly washing my hands especially post baking a sweet treat.
Moomin Delight contains Cloudberry Seed Oil which gives a nod to Finland and gives a gorgeous glow to the skin. This body wash also includes Davana, Orange, Almond and Fresh Raspberry which blends together to create a absolutely gorgeous fragrance that reminds me of a mixture of Raspberry Ripple, Drumstick Squashies and Haribo Heart Sweets with a creamy base that helps for all that fruity goodness to just jump off from. If you're a fan of fragrances such as Yummy Yummy Yummy or American Cream or Candy Rain from Lush then I urge you to check the Body Wash and Body Spray out as I think that you will adore both of them!
Little My Soap (£6.50)
Ingredients:
Aqua (Water), Brassica Napus Seed Oil (Rapeseed Oil), Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Cocos Nucifera Oil (Coconut Oil/Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil), Parfum, Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil (Grapefruit Oil), Schinus Molle Oil (Pink Pepper Oil), Michelia Champaca Flower Extract (Champaca Extract), Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil (Litsea Cubeba Oil), Olibanum (Olibanum Resinoid), Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil (Bergamot Oil), Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil (Orange Oil), Zingiber Officinale Root Extract (Fresh Ginger Root Extract), Piper Nigrum Fruit Extract (Black Peppercorn Extract), Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Bicarbonate, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, *Beta-Caryophyllene, *Citral, *Limonene, *Linalyl Acetate, *Pinene, Linalool, Citronellol, Geraniol, Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, CI 77491, CI 17200, CI 14700.
Even independent warriors need a soap to help them clean!
Little My Soap has been created to match the independent and fiery character from Moomins that is Little My.
Little My contains Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, Chanpaca, Litsea Cubeba, Olibanum, Bergamot, Orange, Fresh Ginger Root and Black Peppercorn. This blend of ingredients creates a spicy fragrance that is fiery but it still has a lightness to it due to the Bergemot and Orange. I really enjoy the fragrance of Little My. I think that it's something different for Lush and I'd love to see future products with a similar sort of fragrance profile to it. I am a little bias though as I adore anything spicy especially from Lush such as LOM, Hayl, Hot Toddy and so forth.
I've been really enjoying using this Soap as it has just made me feel warm and ready to get on with the day which I've been needing lately as it's helped to get me mentally out of a funk and get on with what I need to during tbe day. It's interesting how scents and products can help you mentally.
If you have anyone in your life who adores a spicy scent then I definitely think that Little My is for them!
Snufkin Shower Gummy (£7)
Ingredients:
Glycerin, Aqua (Water), Propylene Glycol, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Chondrus Crispus Extract (Carrageenan Extract), Parfum, Acacia Decurrens Flower Extract (Mimosa Flower Extract), Citrus Aurantium Flower Oil (Neroli Oil), Lilium Orientalis Flower Extract (Fresh White Lily Extract), Titanium Dioxide, *Linalool, Amyl Cinnamal, Geranyl Acetate, Hydroxycitronellal, Vanillin, Colour 19140:1, CI 42090:2, CI 19140, CI 42090.
Even the wanderer in us needs a little self care now and again!
If you're still new to using a Shower Gummy from Lush then imagine a sort of naked Shower Jelly that has some gorgeous moisturising properties to it, a little less suds to it and can be stuck to any flat surface after use such as bathroom tiles or shower screens!
Snufkin contains Glycerin and Llllln which are both included in this shower gummy not only to provide the slightly firm texture but also to help provide hydration to the skin.
Snufkin contains Mimosa, Neroli and Fresh White Lily which blend together to create a fragrance that is fit for any wanderer! This blend of gorgeous oils blend to create a slightly grassy coconut fragrance with a touch of floral floating in the background. (If you're a fan of the Furze scent from Lush then this shares the same ecent).
I've really been enjoying using Snufkin. My skin has felt hydrated after using the gummy and honestly using this gummy first thing in the morning has helped to revitalise me when I need to get some stuff done.lushstill have a small retro 10ml Furze fragrance so I've been pairing the two together. I've really been enjoying the gummies that Lush been releasing lately! Let me know your thoughts on them!

So much so that you'll feel as soft as a freshly made pancake!
Moominmama contains Sandalwood, Vanilla, Coconut and Coconut Cream. The Sandalwood, Vanilla and Coconut blend to create a light comforting fragrance that has a little bit of a woody nutty undertone to it. The Coconut Cream not only helps to enhance the nutty note that runs throughout this product but also helps to keep skin moisturised and keeps the body lotion being light and creamy. If you know anyone who is forever forgetting to moisturise their body and are looking for a light yet comforting fragrance and product that will keep them moisturised especially right now when the days are getting colder then this will definitely be for them.
Within this wonderful creative collaboration range, there is also a Moominvalley Perfume and Cloudberry Body Spray.

There is also the Cloudberry Body Spray which is priced at £33 which shares the same fragrance as Moomin Delight. I've been uhming and ahhing about grabbing it and I'm also wondering whether to do a separate post about these three products. Do let me know if you'd like to see that.
