Posh Chocolate Shower Gel from Lush

The Posh Chocolate Shower Gel is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s small but glorious, gourmand product drop. I was lucky enough to receive a bottle of it as a gift from Lush.

Lush describe the Posh Chocolate shower gel as ‘a true feast for the senses’ and that is exactly what this rich, chocolatey shower gel is.

The Posh Chocolate shower gel contains a generous helping of skin-hydrating glycerine, cocoa powder, hazelnut milk, fine sea salt, cocoa absolute, Australian sandalwood oil and a dash of vanilla absolute too.

Fresh from the bottle the Posh Chocolate shower gel smells just like a tub of hazelnut and cocoa spread.

The Posh Chocolate shower gel of course shares its scent with the Posh Chocolate body wash that was released back in 2021.

Some have questioned if we needed a shower gel equivalent of something we already have in a popular body wash formula, my say on the matter is, never, ever question the idea of MORE chocolate!

I don’t want to turn this review of the Posh Chocolate shower gel into just a comparison post between it and the Posh Chocolate body wash; Yes, they are very similar, but the shower gel still deserves a fair review all of its own.

The Posh Chocolate shower gel is the perfect shade of chocolatey brown, it’s thick but not at all difficult to get out of the bottle.

It’s hard to get your head around a chocolate-based shower gel not being sticky, it much like the Sticky Dates shower gel isn’t at all sticky and doesn’t leave you smeared in chocolate either. A little goes a long way, you really don’t need a lot of it to wash your whole body.

The Posh Chocolate shower gel takes a little longer to get into a lather than I am used to, BUT the more you lather it up the richer the chocolate scent seems to get.

Obviously, this shower gel is not meant to be eaten (after all, it is a SHOWER GEL) but I wouldn’t judge you for being tempted to give it a little lick (as it smells that good!)

My skin feels so soft and nourished after using the Posh Chocolate shower gel, it also appears fresh and clean.

I’d say that the Posh Chocolate shower gel isn’t quite as moisturising as the body wash equivalent, but I don’t prefer one to the other, both are great shower products that leave me smelling delicious.

Overall, I am loving the Posh Chocolate shower gel, it’s never been easier to smell like a snack thanks to Lush. I am obsessed with Lush’s recent burst of snackable scents, I can’t wait to see what they come up with next!

Thermal Waves Bath Bomb from Lush

In celebration of World Bath Bomb Day 2024, Lush Cosmetics have released 29 bath bombs that consist of some much-loved golden oldies (some as they were and some even super-sized) as well as a shedload of brand-new bath bombs too!

Today I am reviewing the brand-new Thermal Waves Bath Bomb.

I don’t think I have ever included so many photos of a product in one single review, how could I resist going completely overboard with photos when a product looks as good as the Thermal Waves bath bomb does?

The Thermal Waves bath bomb looks incredible.

Lush have released several overly colourful bath bombs over the last few years but none of them have looked quite like the Thermal Waves bath bomb.

Thermal Waves is the standard sized Lush bath bomb, each of them are approximately 180g each which is the same size as the Avobath bath bomb.

I’m not entirely sure on how many colours Lush have officially used in the Thermal Waves bath bomb but just holding it in my hand I can see red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue and purple.

With the Thermal Waves bath bomb having so many colours in it, I was very interested to see what the end water from the Thermal Waves bath bomb would look like.

If you ever had the opportunity to use the, The Experimenter bath bomb you’d know it was the go-to rainbow bath bomb in its day BUT all of the colours in it turned your bath water an icky grey/brown at the end.

The Thermal Waves bath bomb contains organic sweet orange oil, buchu oil, litsea cubeba oil, olibanum resinoid and champaca absolute.

It shares its scent with the Princess Peach body spray and Princess Peach shower jelly from 2023’s Lush X Super Mario Bros. collaboration. This was very exciting for me as I loved the Princess Peach fragrance and felt it was wasted as a limited-edition scent that we’d likely not get again.

The scent is best described as a fruity mix, reminiscent of a peach and pineapple cocktail so perfect for the Spring and Summer seasons.

As soon as the Thermal Waves bath bomb encounters your bath water there’s an explosion of foamy colour.

At first you get patches of red, orange, and yellow and then larger patches of purple and blue foam spills out of it too.

As the foam thins out, bursts of different colours began to break away from the bath bomb leaving small patches of colour with lots of little bubbles in.

As always, the photos I have included in this review do the bath bomb no justice at all. I could not stop taking photos, it really is a bath bomb you have to experience for yourself to truly see how beautiful it is.

What really surprised me about the Thermal Waves bath bomb was how it was layered colour wise.

It is such a clever design, once it has stopped foaming, it begins to dissolve away in its different colours. The red and orange disappears, and you then get dark blue, purple, yellow, and green bath art.

Then the red and orange comes back, it’s almost like you’re using several different bath bombs, I’d never have thought so many different colour combinations could come out of just one bath bomb.

It takes about six or seven minutes for the Thermal Waves bath bomb to fully dissolve, and the water left behind is a very dark and sparkly purple, it is actually a very similar colour to my nails in the fourth photo of this review.

I really wasn’t expecting the end bath water to be anything other than a murky mess, but it was a deep, dark, super-inviting shade of purple.

The Thermal Waves bath bombs scent hangs around your bathroom for a few hours after pulling the plug. It lasts on your skin for a good four to six hours too.

My skin adored soaking up all of its ingredients and its light fruity scent left me craving more, I really hope Lush make more products in this scent soon as it’s delicious.

Overall, I love the Thermal Waves bath bomb, Lush would be silly to not introduce this as a mainline product in the near future!

Let The Good Times Roll Body Lotion from Lush

The Let The Good Times Roll Body Lotion is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s small but glorious, gourmand product drop.

I was lucky enough to get to try it before its official release date as Lush kindly sent me a bottle.

No matter the product format, any item that comes out in Lush’s Let The Good Times Roll scent-family seems to be a hit.

I fall in love with the product whatever the format is, which is highly unusual for me as it’s quite a sweet scent.

I ordinarily always reach for the fruity scented products, Let The Good Times Roll however made me more open minded to the sweet-foody Lush scents!

My first experience with the Let The Good Times Roll scent was in its fresh face and body cleanser format. Since, I have also enjoyed it in the Nana shower gel, Yummy Custard body wash and Pop Art bath bomb. There is also currently a body spray with the same fragrance that I have yet to review.

Most Lush body lotions come in Lush’s standard black pots; However, the Let The Good Times Roll body lotion comes in a 250g bottle.

Before I had a bottle of it in my possession, I imagined that the fact it was sold in bottles (and not the black pots) could have been because it had a runnier consistency.

I was as always, wrong; It is not at all runny and is in fact super thick and creamy.

The main ingredients in the Let The Good Times Roll body lotion are, corn oil, polenta infusion, organic jojoba oil, glycerine, fair trade organic cocoa butter and organic illipe butter.

I always look for glycerine in Lush products as it’s the magic ingredient that helps lock all of the moisturising ingredients into your skin.

The Let The Good Times Roll scent is described by my husband as ‘the popcorn one’ and he’s not wrong.

Think of freshly popped, toffee popcorn, it’s delicious, warm, and incredibly moreish. I feel like I must mention this, as yummy as it smells, it is a body lotion not food.

Even though the Let The Good Times Roll body lotion is fairly thick, it is super easy to get out of the bottle.

A very small amount of it goes a long way too making it excellent value for money.

Another thing that surprised me about the Let The Good Times Roll body lotion was how quickly it melts into your skin.

Some body lotions can leave you feeling a little greasy, but I’m pleased to report that the Let The Good Times Roll body lotion doesn’t leave your skin feeling clammy or over moisturised at all.

Rubbing it in requires minimum effort as the lotion sinks right into your skin leaving it perfectly hydrated, feeling soft and appearing much brighter and refreshed.

After applying there’s an almost smoky element to the scent, like an extra layer of hot and gooey caramel.

My favourite thing about this lotion is however how long its scent lingers on your skin. The smallest amount of it lasts ALL DAY, I’ve seen some people say they couldn’t really smell it on them but once I have it on me, it’s all I can smell.

Overall, I love the Let The Good Times Roll body lotion and I’m so excited to see what Lush come up with next!
