AD | When Two Iconic Scents Become One Super Range! | Lush Super Fairy Range
Hey everyone!
Welcome to a brand new blog post! This Summer, Lush have released a range that combines two of Lush's most well known scents (Super Milk and Snow Fairy) into a behemoth of an amazing product range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it!
I was kindly sent the Super Fairy Shower Gel from the wonderful team at Friends Of Lush and Lush.
Super Fairy Bath Bomb
Ingredients:
Citric Acid, Cornstarch, Perfume, Litsea Cubeba Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Vanilla Absolute, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Persian Lime Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Coconut Milk Powder, Water, Synthetic Musk, Epsom Salts, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Tin Oxide, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral, Limonene, Colour 45410:2, Colour 17200, Colour 45410.
This bath bomb not only looks the part due to the swirling effect that dominates the design of this beautiful bath bomb but also smells the part! Super Fairy Bath Bomb combines the two iconic scents by the inclusion of Litsea Cubeba Oil, Vanilla Absolute and Benzoin Resinoid and Sandalwood Oil from Super Milk alongside Coconut Milk Powder which evokes the plethora of nut milks that are used on the original Super Milk Hair Primer whilst Synthetic Musk and Persian Lime Oil create the iconic Snow Fairy scent that makes everyone feel festive and sweet!
I also love the addition of Epsom Salts in this bath bomb as it helps to relax me and my sore muscles which happens a fair bit during the summer months due to the amount of adventuring that I get up to whilst the weather is warm and the days are long and bright!
The scent of the bath bomb to me does smell like a mixture of both Super Milk and Snow Fairy however when I used this in the bath tub, the creamy slightly citrusy scent of Super Milk came out a little bit more than Snow Fairy. The Snow Fairy in the bath bomb to me mainly helped to add a slightly sweet edge to the quite fresh and creamy scent of Super Milk. My skin feel amazing after using Super Fairy Bath Bomb due to the Coconut Milk Powder. My body also felt gorgeous and restored due to the addition of Epsom Salts. I've been quite achy for a while and honestly Lush Bath Bombs that contain Epsom Salts and other products such as the After Massage Bar have been a godsend for me!
Super Fairy Shower Gel
Ingredients:
Glycerine, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Coconut Milk, Oat Milk, Almond Milk, Fine Sea Salt, Calcium Lactate, Lauryl Betaine, Polysorbate 20, Perfume, Lactic Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Litsea Cubeba Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Vanilla Absolute, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Persian Lime Oil, Fresh Lemon Juice, Water (Aqua), Synthetic Musk, Propylene Glycol, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral, Coumarin, Linalool, Colour 45410:2, Colour 45410.
Not only does Super Fairy share the same scent DNA as the iconic Super Milk Hair Primer also shares the same base! Now you can have your skin feeling as amazing as your hair does after using Super Milk Hair Primer!
As the base of this Shower Gel is Coconut Milk, Almond Milk and Oat Milk, it feels a bit unfair calling it a Shower Gel rather than a Shower Milk to me! Not only do the three milks help to soothe and nourish the skin beautifully but to me create a gorgeous milky lather in the shower which as someone with dry skin feels amazing on my skin. Don't get me wrong, I adore the foamy lather of Lush's iconic Shower Gels but honestly this is truly something else and I am really glad that Lush have released this formula. To me, it reminds me of a slightly lighter version of the Turmeric Latte Shower Gels formula!
As mentioned throughout this blog post, Super Fairy combines the iconic creamy citrus scent of Super Milk with the candy floss sweet Snow Fairy scent to create a truly unique scent for the summer. In my opinion, the shower gel smells and resembles the Snow Fairy Milkshake Shower Gel from Christmas 2024 quite a bit with a touch of creamy lemony goodness from Super Milk. I guess the best way I could describe it is that the Snow Fairy comes out a lot when lathering it up onto your body in the shower and Super Milk comes out a little bit more when you're drying after a gorgeous routine in the bathroom!
If you're a dry skin person then I think that this gel will be the perfect product for you. It's hydrating without being too thick on the body which is great for those days in the summer where you want something that isn't too heavy but is still moisturising for the skin and smells absolutely gorgeous!
Super Fairy Body Lotion
Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Almond Oil, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Glycerine, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, Litsea Cubeba Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Vanilla Absolute, West Timor Sandalwood Oil, Persian Lime Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Musk, Cetearyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral, Coumarin, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 45410, Colour 45410:2, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.
You can't have a Super Fairy routine without a Body Lotion! This product is definitely here to ensure that you are soft and supple all Summer long!
Super Fairy Body Lotion contains Almond Oil and Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter which both will help to ensure that your skin feels soft and hydrated. This product shares the same ingredients as the rest of the Super Fairy range but to me this leans very much towards the Super Milk end of the spectrum with a splash of Snow Fairy added for a touch of sweetness .To me in this format, the Benzoin and Sandalwood come to the forefront quite a bit regarding the scent which creates a sort of vibrant smoky note to the fragrance of the Body Lotion. This reminds me of when you instantly spray the Super Milk Hair Primer as I also get a sort of deep resinous smoky note when I instantly smell that in my hair after I've sprayed it.
The lotion sinks into my skin quite easily which I adore as my skin is quite dry and I am forever in a rush in a morning so a quick sinking lotion is always the dream for me. However, my only qualm with the Super Fairy Lotion is that it does leave a slightly tacky feeling on my skin after I've massaged it into the skin and left it to sink in. I'm not fully sold on that feeling just because I can still slightly feel it on my skin. The main way that I have been rectifying the tacky feeling post massaging it in is via sprinkling and massaging in a little bit of Fairy Dust on top of the lotion. I get that this might be a bit cumbersome but I do have to admit that it has been a game changer when it comes to the wanting soft and moisturised skin during the heatwave that has been going through the UK recently!
I love this range and I do think that the products having a bit of a different scent depending on the product can be a bit strange at first but after using these products for a good while now I do like that they have a slightly different scent depending on the product base. It means that I can layer them together such as using the gel, washing it off and then layering the lotion on top to create a multidimensional scent that lingers on my skin for hours. I do think that the Super Fairy Range could do with a fragrance as well. Maybe a solid perfume perhaps? I think that a fragrance just to top the routine off would be amazing!
Have you tried any of the products in the Super Fairy Range at Lush? What are your thoughts? Let me know!
Thanks again to the wonderful team at Friends Of Lush for gifting me the Super Faory Shower Gel.
Thanks for reading!

Bring Back My Perfumes! | Seven Fragrances I Would Like To See To Return At Lush
Hey everyone!
Welcome to a brand new blog post! Lush recently released a form for the Lush Community to fill out which is focused around what seven fragrances they would like to see return at Lush so I thought that I'd talk to you all today my seven that I'd like to return.
All Good Things Perfume
All Good Things contains Cedarwood Oil, Rose Oil, Tonka Absolute and Cade Oil.
I adored All Good Things when it was available at Lush stores. When it was available, I was told that it was inspired by all things smoky and sweet. A true fragrance dichotomy.
All Good Things was influenced by both Tobacco and Candy Floss. This sounds like a very unique and unusual combination but it truly worked. The Cedarwood and Cade provided the smokiness. Cedarwood added a slightly fireworks note whereas the Cade added an earthy type of note which evokes post smoking a cigarette. Cade Oil is also the same oil that makes up the smoky aspect of the 4:20/Botanomancy Fragrance at Lush. The Rose and Tonka make up the Candy Floss part of the scent. The Rose adds a slight floral and I guess a very pink scent to the fragrance whilst the Tonka and Rose that Vanilla Sugar note that you associate quite vividly with candy floss. I do get tobacco but I also get a hint of the weather after the fireworks have been let off and honestly I adore it.
I think bringing this back out in the Autumn would be amazing! I know that some say that all good things must come to an end but why not throw that saying in the bin and re-release them into the world?
Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis contains Labdanum Resinoid, Sicilian Red Mandarin Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Neroli Oil and Sandalwood Oil.
I have been longing for Metamoprhosis Bath Bomb and Perfume to make a massive comeback. I know that Metamorphosis Bath Bomb is coming back in the form of September's Kitchen Box and I cannot wait. However, I managed to smell the perfume at a Lush Showcase event and I fell in love with it but it became a hunt to find it ever again. Sadly the perfume was only available for a very short time to the point that when I found it in a store I smelt it and wanted it to develop and when I went back to get it it had completely vanished.
The main star for me is the Clove Bud Oil that provides it bold punch of spice to the scent. The Sicilian Red Mandarin and Labdanum to me blend together to create a slightly powdery yet still slightly punchy citrus scent that pairs beautifully with the clove whilst neroli helps to make the scents pop and adds a slight peppery note to the scent.
This truly is a fragrance that is suited for the colder months. To me, this scent reminds me slightly of walking through the festive markets on a cold afternoon. The smell of the slightly charred scent mixed with the wood of the markets, the slightly peppery note from vendors nearby and the blast of citrus that comes from the mulled punches that are bubbling and that are ready to be sipped by passerbys and visitors to the market.
As this fragrance was out for such a short time, if it was to come back I would be the first to run to my local store to snag a bottle up!
Rentless
Rentless contains Patchouli Oil, Labdanum Resinoid, Tonka Absolute and Grapefruit Oil.
Are you aware of the story that inspired Rentless to become a perfume at Lush?
Inspired by Tachowa Covington, Rentless evokes the story of the twenty five years Covington spent being homeless in California. After stumbling upon an abandoned tank, he decided to convert it into his home. Covington made an oath with God that he would spend his new life and care and nurture those who needed his help. Whilst renovating the tank, he decided to fill it with a plethora of recycled items. Covington used these materials to design makeshift shelving and trinkets with. Things took a turn when the well known street artist Banksy thought Covington's home was something to be mocked at. Banksy decided to write 'This Looks a Bit Like an Elephant' across the tank. Due to how well known Banksy and his work is, the tank sparked interest from a plethora of people. This caused the tank to be purchased by a construction company. This purchase demolished the memories, the home and the life that he had created for himself.
The Patchouli and Labdanum blend together to create a spicy slightly woody scent that reminds me slightly of wood that's been burnt in the middle of a forest in the height of Autumn whilst the Tonka adds a rich creamy note that also adds a slight hit of Vanilla to the mix. The grapefruit adds a punchy fruitiness to this perfume. When all of these oils are blended together it creates a truly unique scent that reminds me of the beginning of Autumn.
When I've asked people in the past about which perfumes they would like to see return, Rentless is always one that is forever mentioned so I am a bit surprised that it hasn't returned to Lush stores already!
Smugglers Soul
Smugglers Soul contains Sandalwood, Vetivert, Lemongrass and Tagetes.
The Sandalwood and Vetivert to me create a deep woody scent that has a fresh yet earthy edge to it. I adore Vetivert especially in other perfumes from Lush such as Dear John! The Lemongrass and Tagetes blend together to create a fresh yet citrus scent which helps the fragrance to be quite multidimensional compared to a lot of woody fragrances that are on the market. I loved Snuggers Soul on a slightly cool Spring day when I was going out running errands and needed a pick me up or on evenings out
Lush have re-released the Smugglers Soul Face and Body Scrub as a part of their retro range that is stocked behind the till which has brought a new audience to the fragrance. I think that they should re-release the perfume too as it would give a brand new audience the opportunity to use the scrub and perfume jointly as a sort of their morning routine perhaps?
Superworld Unknown
Superworld Unknown contains Lime Oil, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Cassia Oil, Neroli Oil, Rose Absolute, Sandalwood Oil, Cocoa Absokute and Styrax Resinoid.
Superworld Unknown is inspired by all things funfairs such as candy floss, lemon sherbet and all the nostalgic memories that come with it.
The Cassia, Lime and Lemon blend together to create the focus of this scent which creates a sort of scent that is reminiscent of that iconic Cola drink that we all know quite well. The Styrax and Cocoa give a sort of creamy sweetness to the perfume with a sort of slightly woody note in the background. I think it may just be but it does remind me slightly of that creamy sugary scent that you get when you walk past a funfair that is making fresh fries filled doughnuts. It's a fun spicy creamy scent that has pinches of bright citrus throughout it. I absolutely adore it. A scent that works for both Summer and Winter in my opinion.
I know that it has only been recently discontinued but honestly brig it back Lush. I don't know why it was discontinued especially when it was released in a Kitchen Box in a sugar scrub format. I recently did see it at the Lush Arndale store but it was only in a tester bottle which saddened me as I was very much tempted to grab a final bottle if they had any left. I think Superworld Unknown should be re-released as a solid perfume and a 30ml bottle. I think that would be amazing and would give those who couldn't afford the 100ml bottle the opportunity to experience this perfume!
Celebrate
Celebrate Perfume contains Brazilian Orange Oil, Lime Oil and Cognac Oil.
If you have been a fan of Lush for a while then you may know Celebrate via the Celebrate Shower Gel, Celebrate Body Spray, Bubbly Gel/Lotion, Golden Wonder Bath Bomb or Catch Me If You Can Bath Bomb.The list really goes on. Celebrate truly is the queen of the party!
If you're not aware of Celebrate then imagine a fragrance that truly is the epitome of a Bucks Fizz Cocktail at the beginning of a party. The Brazilian Orange Oil and Lime Oil create a sharp citrus fragrance that is sharp and zesty whilst the Cognac Oil provides a slightly sparkling base that makes you keep sniffing to figure out what it truly is.
As mentioned above, Celebrate has been in the format of a Body Spray but the perfume version was just unbelievable. The citrus just popped so brightly and the Cognac created a complex base that for me isn't the same in the Body Spray due to the switch up from Cognac to Wine Lees Oil. I am also a little bias as this was one of the first fragrances from the old Lush Kitchen that I managed to get my hands on. I adored it. I sprayed it liberally. I miss it dearly. I know that Celebrate Body Spray has been included via the Christmas Range in years gone by so I feel like this could be a good contender for the Christmas 2026 line up. There are a few fragrances in this blog post that would be amazing as a product in the Holiday range but that's me being me.
Princess Cottongrass
Princess Cottongrass contains Pine Oil, Neroli Oil, Nettle Absolute and Violet Leaf Absolute.
The Neroli and Violet Lead blend together to create a soft floral whilst the Pine and Nettle blend together create a very fresh grassy scent that has a blast of aromatic spiciness peeking through. I realise that floral, grassy and aromatic could sound overwhelming and chaotic and I guess Princess cotton grass was but in an amazing way. Beautifully chaotic some may say but I think that's what the heart of Lush is sometimes and I think at the time of release Princess Cottongrass and some of the other perfumes that came out at the same time summed that up perfectly. (Stayin' Alive, Cyanide and Death & Decay to name a few).
The main reason of why I think Princess cotton grass is because in my opinion it's the right time to. It would fit in with Grass SHOWER Gel returning and now being a firm favourite and staple in all Lush stores, the Mossy Bottom Body Spray that shares the same scent as Grass, Guardians Of The Forest Body Spray that I think would be beautiful as a base for Princess Cottongrass to layer on top of and the brand new Roo In the Nettles Facial Cleanser!
If you could bring back any perfume from Lush? Let me know!

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Some Lovely Lemon Lush Products With Them! | Lush Kitchen July Shower Box 2025
Hey everyone!
Welcome to a brand new blog post! I recently received my Lush Kitchen July Shower Box and I thought that today I would talk to you all about the contents of the box and my thoughts on the box as a whole!
The theme of Julys box is simply when life gives you Lemons. Some people decide to make Lemonade out of Lemons or a gorgeous Lemon Drizzle Cake but Lush have decided to turn their Lemons into Lemon scented cosmetic products!
Lemon Shower Gel
Ingredients:
Glycerine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Irish Moss Infusion (Chondrus crispus), Water (Aqua), Fresh Lemon Juice (Citrus limonum), Lauryl Betaine, *Limonene, Perfume, Myrrh Resinoid (Commiphora myrrha), Lemongrass Oil (Cymbopogon citratus), Bergamot Oil (Citrus Aurantium bergamia), Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Carrageenan Extract (Chondrus crispus), Citral, Linalool.
I have been longing for a Lemon centric Shower Gel from Lush for a while so as soon as I heard that this Kitchen Box was dropping I knew that I had to have it for the Shower Gel alone! I used to adore the Refresher Shower Jelly which to me was the epitome of Lemon Curd in shower form when it was available to purchase from Lush stores.
The blend of Myrrh, Lemongrass and Bergamot creates a beautiful scent. The combination of these three different oils creates a scent that reminds me of the smell of freshly cut Lemons on a hot Summer day with a slightly sharp kick in the background from the Lemongrass. I was a bit unsure on how the Myrrh would smell in regards to creating a fresh citrus scent but to me it helps to create a slightly fresh slightly woody background note that helps the Lemongrass and Bergamot be the stars of the show in this Shower Gel. If you are been loving Lush for a while now then you may remember this scent by a different name. lemon smelt that contained chunks of cocoa Butter on the top of the gel to help nourish the skin. Although Lemon doesn't contain the cocoa Butter it does contain Glycerine that is known to provide the skin with plenty of moisture and nourishment.
I have been absolutely loving using this so far and could definitely see this reappearing at Lush in the form of a seasonal range or this time next year as a part of a fully fledged Summer Range. If you're listening Lush then please re-release Refresher Shower Jelly whilst you're at it if you are releasing a Summer Range. Thanks!
Lemony Flutter Body Conditioner
Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Fair Trade Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Glycerine, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Stearic Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Triethanolamine, Sicilian Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Lavender Oil (Lavandula angustifolia), Tagetes Oil (Tagetes minuta), Chamomile Blue Oil (Matricaria chamomilla), Citral, Coumarin, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume.
We all need our bodies to be soft and supple even during the hot summer months!
Lemony Flutter Body Conditioner does just that! If you're unsure on what a body conditioner is then imagine a sort of in-shower body butter that you wash off before hopping out of the bath/shower instead of applying after and having to wait forever for it to absorb into the skin!
Lemony Flutter contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Fair Trade Organic Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter which combine to create a lovely base for the Body Conditioner that will moisturise and soften the skin when you apply it in the tub or shower!
Lemony Flutter contains Sicilian Lemon Oil, Lavender Oil, Chamomile Blue Oil alongside some other goodies which combine to create a lovely sharp citrus scent with a soft herbal background. This also shares the same scent as the Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter.
When I used this in the shower, the conditioner glided on my skin and the sharp citrus scent engulfed my entire bathroom. I left it on for a couple of minutes massaged it into my skin and rinsed it off to reveal soft smooth glowing skin. I loved the scent of this whilst I was enjoying my pamper session in the bathroom.
The Lavender and Chamomile came out a little bit more post shower. I tend to be a bit hesitant with some Lavender and chamomile scented products as it can come across a bit too much and always reminds me a bit of my local swimming baths. (Thinking about it now, this might be why I stray away from products such as Dream Cream until the Winter period of the year...) I was a touch surprised by this because I was expecting the Lemon to stay as strong as it did when first applying it to my skin but I did still enjoy the body conditioner as a whole as the citrus scent that was left behind stopped the Lavender and Chamomile from being too much to use for myself personally.
If you have quite dry skin and feel like nothing is moisturising it enough then I think that the body conditioners at Lush will help your skin severely!
Nibble Lip Scrub
Ingredients:
Caster Sugar, Fair Trade Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Glycerine, Sicilian Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), *Limonene, Citric Acid, Citral, Geraniol.
We all need a lip scrub to keep our lips soft and supple for all that summer loving!
For this Kitchen Box, Lush have turned a few Lemons into a brand new flavour of their iconic Lip Scrub thats full of zesty goodness! This lip scrub contains Caster Sugar which creates the base of this gorgeous product and helps to make lips soft and gorgeous. Sicilian Lemon Oil and Citric Acid blend together to create a super sharp Lemon flavour and the Organic Jojoba Oil helps to moisturise lips which I adore as some lip scrubs from other brands in the past have left my lips really dry and irritated!
Nibble does only contain Sicilian Lemon Oil but sometimes less is best as it allows the Sicilian Lemon Oil to really shine bright in this lip scrub. I'm sure by now you can tell that I love anything Lemon so a severely bright and sharp Lemon flavoured Lip Scrubs is truly the dream for me.
Sexy Peel Soap
Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil (Brassica napus; Cocos nucifera), Propylene Glycol, Cornstarch (Zea mays), Fresh Lemon Peel (Citrus limonum), Fresh Orange Peel (Citrus aurantium dulcis), *Limonene, Fresh Lemon Juice (Citrus limonum), Fresh Orange Juice (Citrus aurantium dulcis), Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Fresh Lime Peel (Citrus aurantifolia), Lime Oil (Citrus aurantifolia), Perfume, Grapefruit Oil (Citrus paradisi), Fresh Lime Juice (Citrus aurantifolia), Sicilian Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Glycerine, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Bicarbonate, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Citral, Geraniol, Linalool.
Lush is bringing sexy back! Sexy Peel that is!
Sexy Peel used to be an utterly zingy staple at Lush stores and I adored it. Every time I went into a Lush store I would always find it on the shelf and make sure I gave it a sniff as it always just perked my day up and made me want to enjoy the rest of my day even if it was a busy weekend in the middle of Leeds city centre where people would rush to get somewhere , bump into you and not apologise.
Sexy Peel being a fun spin on the term zesty peel helps to showcase not only the oils of the fruits that are used in this soap and on many other cosmetic products but also the zest/peel of the same fruits too!
Sexy Peel contains Sicilian Lemon Oil, Lime Oil and Grapefruit Oil alongside Fresh Lime Peel, Fresh Lemon Peel and Fresh Orange Peel which blend together to create a truly zingy soap that will perk you up no matter what time of the day it is or how bad your day has been going.
I've been using this Soap since the box arrived and I know that I am going to be truly saddened when I finish this slice of Soap!
Lemon Aid Cleanser
Ingredients:
Kaolin, Glycerine, Ground Almonds (Prunus dulcis), Tahini (Sesamum indicum), Fresh Carrot (Daucus carota sativa), Water (Aqua), Fresh Lemon Zest (Citrus Limonum), Propylene Glycol, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Sicilian Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Carrageenan Extract (Chondrus crispus), Limonene, Colour 15985:1, Colour 19140:1.
When life gives you lemons, make Lemon Aid!
Lush have decided to turn their lemonade into a gorgeous Lemon Aid Fresh Facial Cleanser!
This cleanser contains Ground Almond that help to scrub away dirt and grime alongside Kaolin which is known for its oil absorbing properties. Lemon Aid also contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter to ensure that the cleanser itself isn't too stripping for the face!
Lemon Aid also contains Fresh Carrot which is known for its Vitamin C properties which in turn helps to give the skin a subtle glow that makes you look like you're radiant from within! This facial cleanser also contains Sicilian Lemon Oil which creates a gorgeous punchy Lemon scent that will help to wake you up on those days in the summer where getting up even feels a little bit too much!
I have seen that a few people have been a bit confused when receiving this facial cleanser due to the jelly layer on top courtesy of Carrageenan Extract. I have seen people use it as an eye mask post cleansing the face, I have seen people shredding it up and mixing it and many other ways of using it. My favourite when it comes to the Jelly layer is to peel it off the top of the Ground Almond and Kaolin base of Lemon Aid and use it as a Jelly Cleanser. Lush have created Carrageenan based facial products before so in my mind that made the most sense. I have been enjoying using the jelly cleanser layer alongside the scrubby cleanser. (Let me know how you've been using the jelly layer!) I do get that it does seem a bit weird for a cleanser to come with a jelly layer and maybe Lish could explain why but as I say above as someone who uses a lot of cleansers I just took it to be a sort of jelly cleanser.
I have enjoyed incorporating Lemon Aid into my skin care routine especially since we've had a heatwave in the UK. The ground almonds have helped to keep my skin feeling smooth. Ive loved how the Carrot gives me a glow.
Since the beginning of the year, I have become a bit of a glow fiend when it comes to my skincare regime. For example, I do use Bright and Beautiful from Lush which contains 10% Vitamin C which if you're looking for a more vibrant glow to the skin compared to Lemon Aid then it might be worth looking into and trying out.
I do think that they could specify the situation with the Carrageenan and the jelly layer as I think it would make using it a bit easier for some of those who have subscribed and received this Kitchen Box but on the whole I think that this would be a great product during the summer months in Lush stores!
Overall, as you can tell, I really enjoy this Kitchen Box. There's a variety of products to use for the face and the body and the products all contain a sharp lemon scent in one way or another that make you want to either drink cocktails and bathe in the sun or feel refreshed after a long gruelling week. I adore Lemons in many ways as I have stated throughout this post but honestly I wasn't expecting to enjoy this Kitchen Box to the point that I need this Box to become a Summer mini range at Lush alongside Refreher Shower Jelly (pretty please Lush!)
Did you manage to grab any of the July Lush Kitchen Boxes? Let me know down below!

#AD | Time To Treat Yourself To Some Self Care After A Day Of Epic Adventures | How To Train Your Dragon X Lush
Hey everyone!
Welcome to a brand new blog post! I was kindly sent some of the How To Train Your Dragon X Lush Collaboration Range by the lovely team at Lush so I thought that today I would talk to you all about the range!
Toothless Bath Bomb (£7)
It's time to fly into a warm bath!
List Of Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cornstarch, Spearmint Oil, Cream of Tartar, Water, Titanium Dioxide, Popping Candy, Talc, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Alcohol Denat., PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Tin Oxide, Limonene, Perfume, Colour 77499, Colour 42053, Colour 45410, Colour 47005, Colour 17200, Colour 42090:2, Colour 42090, Colour 77288, Colour 45410:2, Colour 77491, Colour 59040, Colour 45350.
Toothless is here to make your bath journey that little bit extra special. This bath bomb contains Popping Candy which creates the ultimate bathing experience by making your bath crackle and pop.
Toothless has a sort of swirled Mint and Vanilla fragrance to it due to the inclusion of Spearmint Oil and other goodies that kind of remind me of when you get a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream with your dessert topped with Mint. The Mint develops and blooms on the bath making it feel like you're relaxing on an ice cool spring relaxing after a long day of adventuring and battling.
If you're a big fan of bath art when it comes to selecting bath bombs at Lush then you will definitely want to grab a Toothless Bath Bomb as the bath art that they create is truly mesmerising. I won't spoil it for you but the visual art that comes with Toothless Bath Bomb is truly magical and definitely will make your day feel a little bit better if you've had a tiring day!
Toothless Tail Soap (£5)
The soap that will definitely last the tail of time.
List Of Ingredients:
Rapeseed Oil; Coconut Oil, Fresh Mint Infusion, Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Water, Perfume, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Spearmint Oil, Activated Charcoal, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Calcium Carbonate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tin Oxide, Limonene, Colour 77499, Colour 77491, Colour 14700, Colour 17200.
Not only does this Soap look stunning with its dark and mysterious shift of colours but also smells amazing too. Like the Tootoess Bath Bomb, this soap has a fresh mint scent with a slightly creamy Vanilla backnote but as there is Fresh Mint Infusion in this soap alongside the Spearmint Oil that is also in the Toothless Bath Bomb, the Mint note is slightly more prevalent within this product. If you're a fan of scents from Lush such as Dirty then I think that this soap will definitely be for you.
I've been using Toothless Tail Soap for a while now. I love the addition of Activated Charcoal in this soap as it ensures that all the dirt and grime from my hands and body is completely banished.
I've been using this during the heatwave that has occurred in the UK and it has honestly been a godsend for the hot weather and ensuring that I feel clean and refreshed.
Astrid's Axe Bubble Bar (£12)
List Of Ingredients:
Sodium Carbonate, Cream of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerine, Lauryl Betaine, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Rosemary Oil, Sage Oil, Green Mandarin Oil , Cornstarch, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citral, Limonene, Colour 42090:2, Colour 47005:1, Colour 77288, Colour 77491:1, Colour 77288, Colour 77491.
We all need a good bath after a day of hard work and that's exactly what Astrid's Axe is here to do!
As Astrid's Axe is on a stick the best way to use this bubble bar is to either use the axe to slice through the water in the tub whilst it's runnin or to hold it under the tap until your preferred amount of bubbles has formed. Some like a light bubbly bath, some like a bubbly bath that's full of frothy bubbles. Once your preferred amount has occurred, turn the tap off and place the amazing Axe on the side or on a soap dish to dry before using it again after your next adventure.
This bubble bar contains a plethora of oils such as Sicilian Green Mandarin, Sicilian Lemon, Sage and Rosemary which combine to create a lovely fresh Blackcurrant scent with a blast of green notes behind it. This bubble bar shares the same scent as the Junk Perfume from Lush so if you're looking for a bathing product to go along with the gorgeous perfume then Astrid's Axe is the one for you. I love this bubble bar. I love anything Junk and I have forever been yearning for more products in the Junk scent from Lush. (Please give us a Junk Shower Gel!)

A shower gel that will help your muscles relax after a long day? Sign me up!
This shower gel to me screams dragon and Viking's by the amazing packaging, the fiery red colour of the shower gel itself and the scent of the superb shower gel.
This shower gel contains an abundance of amazing oils. Monstrous Nightmare contains Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Lime Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Dark Sumatran Patchouli Oil. These oils being to create a beautifully fiery and spicy scent with a slightly citrus undertone that to me gives off a sparkling background note that makes it feel like the spices are bubbling and frothing a tiny bit. If you are an avid Lushie then you may be happy to hear that Monstrous Nightmare shares the same scent as Glogg Shower Gel that has appeared in previous seasonal and Lush Kitchen ranges.
Anyone that knows me will know that I adore spicy scents. I love anything and everything cinnamon centric or that has a cinnamon in it. When I first smelt this shower gel I instantly got a big hit of sweet cinnamon and that was from quickly smelling the bottle in the middle of the store. From that quick sniff, I knew that I would love this Shower Gel.
Chief Stoick Beard and Hair Oil (£18) & Gobber's Comb (£10)
List Of Ingredients:
Almond Oil, Organic Argan Oil, Black Jamaican Castor Oil, Organic Cold Pressed Grapeseed Oil, Fair Trade Organic Jojoba Oil, Perfume, Cold Pressed Organic Borage Oil, Coffee Oil, Tonka Absolute, Vetivert Oil, Tobacco Absolute, Vanilla Absolute, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, *Anise Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Benzyl Cinnamate, Benzyl Salicylate, Cinnamal, Citral, Coumarin, Eugenol, Isoeugenol, Limonene, Linalool.
Even the greatest of Vikings need something to tame their hair with!
Lush have done various iterations of Beard products in the past in the form of naked solid products so when I heard that a packaged liquid hair and beard oil was coming as a part of this amazing collaboration range I was super intrigued.
Chief Stoick can be used as both a hair oil to help keep hair tamed and hydrated or as a beard oil to keep facial hair in place or both.
Chief Stoick contains Organic Argan Oil, Black Jamaican Castor Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Cold Pressed Borage Oil and Grapeseed to create a wonderful base for the product to hydrate every fibre of hair intensely. Did you know that Jojoba Oil is known for being the most structurally and chemically close to your skins sebum?
Chief Stoick contains Coffee Oil, Tonka Absolute, Vetivert Oil, Vanilla Absolute and Tobacco Absolute. These oils blend to create such a unique scent. The Vanilla and Tonka blend to create a creamy soft base which contrasts beautifully against the rest of the oils which blend to create a rich powerful smoky scent from the Coffee and Tobacco with a woody yet slightly herbal undertone that comes from the Vetivert. If you have tried the Hobana Bath Bomb from The Ippuku Dan Goft Set from Lush or the Lazy Oaf X Lush Body Spray and loved it then you will love this beard Oil as they both share a very similar scent to the Chief Stoick Beard and Hair Oil.
As I said above, I was intrigued when I heard that there would be a Haor and Beard Pil on this Collaborations Range and boy did it not disappoint. I was also intrigued that this product contained Black Jamaican Castor Oil as I have heard that the castor Oil is known for its benefits such as strengthening thin hair, nourishing dry hair and promoting hair growth. I've been using the Oil for a while and have been loving it. My hair and facial hair have felt a lot more moisturised and healthy than it did before using the Oil. I have slowly been getting into Tobacco and Vetivert forward scents over the past year and forever loved Dear John from Lush that is quite Vetivert forward in my opinion so I was super looking forward to seeing how this scent would be in a oil format and it is beautiful. The coffee comes out but doesn't dominate the scent and the Vetivert adds a beautiful note the scent. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you can pop to a Lush store near you and check it out.
Alongside the Chief Stoick Hair and Beard Oil, you can grab Gobber's Colb which is a 100% recycled plastic hair and beard comb that helps to de tangle hair before applying the oil and can be used to style all hair!
Hiccup Body Spray (£35)
List Of Ingredients:
Organic Alcohol Denat, Water, Perfume, Glycerine, Bergamot Oil, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool.
I adore Lush's Body Sprays so I was definitely excited to try Hiccup out. The main note in Hiccup is Bergamot and to me Bergamot reminds me of drinking Earl Grey Tea in the garden on a warm day. I'm not entirely sure why but it does. Maybe as Bergamot is in Earl Grey Tea.
This Body Spray does smell of citrus heavy yet slightly peppery Bergamot but to me it also has a sort of aquatic note to it which reminds me of being at the seaside too. I would definitely say that this is an amazing Body Spray for the Summer time or for anyone who loves a Summery scent. I am also considering it to take it and wear it when I next go to the seaside for the ultimate sort of Summer adventure vibe.
I recently went into my local store and sprayed Big and Salty as when I've been trying out Hiccup it has slightly reminded me of both of these Body Sprays from Lush and I must say if you layer Big and Salty together you get a scent which feels like it fits on the family of what Hiccup smells like. If you can go to a Lush store then I would urge you to try this combination out on one arm and Hiccup on the other and see what you think of both.
Regarding the longevity of Hiccup, to me it is amazing. I've been wearing it especially when I've needed to run errands for the day and meeting up with friends and I've noticed that I can still smell it quite strongly by the end of the day when I'm back home using Ultrabland and getting ready to settle down after a long day.
Thank you so much to the wonderful team at Lush for sending me some of the items from the How To Train Your Dragon X Lush Range!
Have you checked out the How To Train Your Dtagon X Lush Range? Are you going to go watch the live action How To Train Your Dragon movie that's in cinemas now? Let me know!

#AD | Don't Look At Me Fresh Face Mask from Lush Cosmetics
Hey everyone!
Welcome to a brand new blog post. I was recently kindly sent the Don't Look At Me Fresh Face Mask from Lush and I thought that today I would talk to you all about it.
Ingredients:
Kaolin, Fresh Organic Lemon Juice, Glycerine, Organic Rice Syrup, Ground White Rice, Organic Silken Tofu, Murumuru Butter, Bentone gel, Rice Milk, Grapefruit Oil, Neroli Oil, Water (Aqua), Citral, Farnesol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 42090
I have tried this Fresh Face Mask but it was a long while ago due to Lush releasing other fabulous Face Masks after Don't Look At Me so it was fabulous that I was retrying this one as it felt like I was trying it for the first time all over again.
Lush Fresh Face Masks are designed to be kept refrigerated due to the plethora of the fresh ingredients that are in each of the fresh Face Masks. Each of the Fresh Face Masks including Don't Look At Me should be used within 28 days of receiving your Fresh Face Masks for the ultimate skincare experience!
The smell of Don't Look At Me is amazing and hits you right in the face when you open thie lid. The Grapefruit and Neroli combine to create a truly delicious scent. I am a bit hesitant when it comes to Neroli as sometimes it can be a bit overpowering but it works beautifully in this face mask as it adds a bit of depth to the Grapefruit. The combination always makes me think of warm weather and holidays due to it being so uplifting and delicious.
Don't Look At 'Me contains Ground White Rice which is used as a scrub within this face mask. The Ground White Rice helps to exfoliate the skin without irritating the skin too much which I adore because I do enjoy a light scrub when it comes to my face. My skin has a tendency of deciding when it wants to behave and when it doesn't so when it isn't behaving Ground White Rice is a great way to exfoliate dead skin without causing my skin to feel more irritated. When my skin feels and looks irritated I feel a little bit more self conscious.
Silken Tofu plays a big part in creating the super rich texture of Don't Look At Me alongside Rice Milk and Glycerine. They also help to moisturise the skin and ensure that it stays soft and supple. After the Ground White Rice has done its thing it is best to ensure that you are putting moisture back into the skin and trust me these three ingredients will definitely do that! I was a bit intrigued when I saw Silken Tofu was included as ingredient in this face mask but it makes sense when you look into it. Silken Tofu is known for containing a plethora of Vitamins such as Vitamin K and Calcium and is rich in Protein which can help to nourish the skin and help the skin barrier.
I applied this onto my face for ten minutes and left it to do its wonderful thing. After the ten minutes were complete, before removing the face mask, I worked the grains of Ground White Rice into my skin for a quick minute to ensure that it exfoliated my skin. I slowly removing the beautifully blue coloured Face Mask off my skin with warm water and a face cloth working in circular motions for a quick second especially around my troublesome areas and facial hair and then a swiping motion.
After washing the mask off, I could notice a good difference in what my skin looked and felt like before using Don't Look At Me compared to after. My skin felt smooth, soft and hydrated due to all of the lovely ingredients that are in Don't Look At Me. Furthermore, I've been using Don't Look At Me constantly for the past two weeks now and I've noticed more of a radiant glow to my skin which I have adored. I think the radiant glow has come mainly from the face mask helping to hydrate and protect my skin but also from the Fresh Lemon Juice that is also in Don't Look At Me.
If you're looking for a great Summer Face Mask that not only smells utterly gorgeous and refreshing but helps your skin to feel and look more nourished alongside giving it a radiant glow then I think that you will love Don't Look At Me. If you're also looking for a Face Mask that will help dry skin look and feel a little bit less rubbish without being stripping like a lot of Face Masks can be for some then I think that don't Look At Me may be a great face mask for you to dabble into.
Thanks again to the wonderful team at Lush for sending me the Don't Look At Me Fresh Face Mask.
Lush have just released some lovely brand new fresh skincare products that include new Fresh Face Masks such as Nutkins, Coconut Shie and Hanami alongside brand new cleansers such as Biomic and Koji Paste. I am slowly trying out some of the brand new products so so keep an eye out as I will be posting blog posts about them when I have fully tried them out.
Thanks for reading!

#AD | Celebrating The Good Times With A Bath Bomb | Lush World Bath Bomb Day Range Part One
Hey everyone!
Welcome to a brand new blog post! The lovely people at Lush sent me some of the brand new bath bombs that are a part of the brand new World Bath Bomb Day Range from Lush and I thought that today I'd talk to you all about them.
Lush have released 30 bath bombs to celebrate 30 years of Lush. As this range includes 30 bath bombs I will slowly be dropping blog posts discussing the bath bombs just as I can't fit 30 bath bombs into one blog post.
Celebrate 30
You can't turn thirty and not celebrate!
Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Alcohol Denat, Cornstarch, Limonene, Perfume, Brazilian Orange Oil, Lime Oil, Water (Aqua), Titanium Dioxide, Corn Protein, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Tin Oxide, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Linalool, Colour 45430:1, Colour 45410, Colour 42053, Colour 15510, Colour 17200, Colour 42090, Colour 77491.
As a part of Lush's World Bath Bomb Day 2025 Range, Lush has released Celebrate 30. A bath bomb that epitomises celebrating the good times! Celebrate 30 contains Brazilian Orange and Lime Oils that blend together to create a truly uplifting scent. If you have tried out Golden Wonder Bath Bomb, Catch Me If You Can Bath Bomb or Crash Shower Jelly then this shares the same scent as them.
I love anything citrus scented (I even love eating Lemons just as they are) and I love how this bath bomb looks like a 30 that you'd get on top of a glorious Birthday Cake and this screams celebration! This bath bomb is definitely a great one for those who love glitter or for those who want a luxurious bath bomb before going out to celebrate a birthday like Lush's 30 or a great night out.
We Put The Whole Fruit In
Lacking some Vitamin C? Enjoy a bath bomb!
Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Organic Sweet Orange Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Water (Aqua), Orange Peel Powder, Titanium Dioxide, Cornstarch, Gardenia Extract, Dipropylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Citral, Citronellol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 15510, Colour 47005:1, Colour 15985:1, Colour 19140:1, Colour 14700, Colour 47005, Colour 15850:1, Colour 77491, Colour 42090.
Lush are all about showcasing the use of fresh fruit in their products so for this World Bath Bomb Day Range they've done just that.
We Put The Whole Fruit In is a bath bomb that doesn't just look like a beautiful Orange but is a bath bomb that contains all of the Orange! This bath bomb contains three types of Orange! Sweet Orange Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil and Orange Peel Powder! These three types of Orange blend together to create an Orange scent that is truly out of this world!
Even more, We Put All The Fruit In even has a sticker engraved on the front to represent the stickers you get on fresh fruit!
I adore this bath bomb! I love anything Orange based especially during the Summer season! It just makes me think of the outdoors! I also love how this product showcases the amount of fresh fruit that Lush uses to create a fair few of their iconic products! If you're a fan of anything Orange then take my word, this bath bomb is definitely one that you should run to grab rather than walking at a leisurely pace!
A Mo-Ment In Life
Well the first ever bath bomb was designed for a mo-ment of serenity.
Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cornstarch, Agar Agar, Alcohol Denat., Titanium Dioxide, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Black Pepper Oil, Ginger Oil, Soybean Flour, Corn Protein, Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, *Citral, *Limonene, Perfume, Colour 42090:2, Colour 42090, Colour 19140:1, Colour 14700, Colour 17200, Colour 45410:1, Colour 45350.
A Mo-Ment In Life has been created for Lush's World Bath Bomb Day 2025 Range to commemorate Mo Constantine (one of the co-founders of Lush) creating the first ever bath bomb over 30 years ago in her shed! If it wasn't for Mo, the beauty and bathing industry would look very different and we wouldn't have Lush and it's amazing bath bombs and beauty products that have become staples in people's bathrooms and shelves across the globe!
This bath bomb creates an amazing experience in the bath. Not only is it an amazing colour changing bath bomb, not only does it create beautiful bath art that reminded me of spending afternoons in my families back garden but it also contains Agar Agar that helps to soften the skin!
This Bath Bomb contains Ginger Oil, Black Pepper Oil and Lemon Oil which blend together to create a truly heavenly spicy scent with a slightly mysterious citrus kick to it.
I think that if you love spicy scents then you will love A Mo-Ment In Life. If you're a big fan of the retro Lush days then I think that you should give this bath bomb a sniff! If you're a big lover of Lord Of Misrule but think it's a bit too heavy for summer and the warmer months then this bath bomb may be worth a sniff the next time you're in a Lush store!
Anyone that knows me will know that I adore Lemon and Ginger so when I heard that a bath bomb was coming that contains Lemon, Ginger and Black Pepper, I knew that I had to sniff it and try it out! I did and I instantly fell in love with the bath bomb. I am a sucker for anything citrus and anything spicy and to me this bath bomb has bonded the two together to create a truly beautiful contrasting yet complimentary amalgamation of citrus and spice! I also love using anything spicy for when my back flares up and I think that this bath bomb would help to relieve that quite a lot so I'll definitely be grabbing a couple for when that happens!
Sonic Death Monkey
We all need a bath bomb to help us get through the day!
Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Tangerine Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Cornstarch, Coffee Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Cocoa Powder, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Silica, Tin Oxide, Coumarin, *Limonene, Perfume, Colour 77491, Colour 15985:1, Colour 15510, Whole Coffee Beans.
Sonic Death Money has been a Shower Gel loved by many for a generous amount of years now. Sadly it was discontinued back in the day but came back recently in the form of the Retro Wall. A wall behind the tills of Lush stores stacked with a plethora of much loved products from years gone by.
This bath bomb contains Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Tangerine Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Cocoa Powder and Coffee Oil which blend together to create Sonic Death Monkeys iconic scent which to me reminds me of a sort of Mocha with Orange Zest decorated on the top of it or a Orange Chocolate Latte or a sort of Orange Chocolate take on a Espresso Martini especially with the Vanilla Absolute helping to round the scent out just like what Vanilla does in a Espresso Martini. I mean there's even Coffee Beans on top to resemble a bit of an Martini vibe!
I realise that the scent profile may sound like a peculiar one but honestly give it a sniff before you judge this beautiful bath bomb!
I used this bath bomb recently and I adored it! I used it first thing in the morning and oh boy did it perk me right up! The scent lingered on my skin for a fair bit which I adored. My skin also felt beautiful and supple after using this bath bomb due to the Cocoa Butter that coats the top of the bath bomb. If you're a coffee lover then definitely give Sonic Death Monkey a go!
Super Milk
This bath bomb will make you feel superb!
Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Whole Almonds, Coconut Milk Powder, Cornstarch, Perfume, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Litsea Cubeba Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Vanilla Absolute, Vanilla Pod Powder, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Tin Oxide, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Citral, Coumarin, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 77491.
Super Milk has been having its moment recently so it made sense for Lush to finally release a bath bomb version of this superstar of a scent.
The Litsea, Benzoin and Vanilla combine to create a truly scrumptious and superb scent that reminds me slightly of Lemon Drizzle Cake that has just been freshly baked. The Coconut Milk not only adds a creamy note to the scent to truly make it that iconic scent that has been helping the nations hair to feel and smell delicious but also helps to nourish the skin so we can feel soft and supple all Summer long!
Some may be a bit confused by the Almonds that are placed on top of this beautiful bath bomb but in my opinion alongside the coconut Milk it helps to give a nod to the smorgasbord of beautiful nut oils that are in the Super Milk Hair Primer that launched a thousand superb shipments of Super Milk.
I am a bit particular with the Super Milk scent and I think it works best in the primer and glitter spray but now after trying the bath bomb I think it works beautifully in this too. The scent in the bath bomb is slightly zingy and not too cloying and in my opinion is a perfect scent for those summer mornings where you need a little boost to help you get through the day!
If you have the Shower Gel still from the Community drop last year then you could pair these two together for the most decadent routine or do what I love to do and use it alongside the hair primer and the glitter spray before a night out with friends!
Have you tried any of these Bath Bombs? What is your favourite Bath Bomb from the World Bath Bomb Day Range? Is it the E.T Bath Bomb? Let me know down below and on social media!
Thanks again to the wonderful team at Lush for sending me these goodies!
