Posh Chocolate Body Lotion from Lush

At the time of writing this review the Posh Chocolate Body Lotion has only ever been available in Lush’s Posh Choc gift set…

The Posh Chocolate fragrance is one of Lush’s newer scent families. We first got to experience it back in 2021 through the oh-so-delicious Posh Chocolate body wash.

Since the Posh Chocolate body wash came out, Posh Chocolate has become one of Lush’s bestselling scents and has been released in several other product formats; We’ve had the Posh Chocolate shower gel, Posh Chocolate body scrub and the Lady Danbury bath bomb just to name a few.

The Posh Chocolate scent is best described as a ‘true feast for the senses’, straight from the bottle the Posh Chocolate body lotion smells just like a tub of hazelnut and cocoa spread, it’s mouth wateringly good!

The Posh Chocolate body lotion is a chocoholics dream product… BUT, before anyone asks (and believe me they do) no you can’t eat Lush products (even the ones that smell as good as this Posh Chocolate body lotion) what you can however do with the Posh Chocolate body lotion is slather it all over your body!

The Posh Chocolate body lotion contains some of the following ingredients: hazelnut milk, sunflower oil, organic jojoba oil, hazelnut oil, glycerine, fair trade organic cocoa butter, organic illipe butter, cocoa absolute and cocoa powder.

As I mentioned earlier, this body lotion is only available in the Posh Choc gift set. In this gift set it comes in a 100g bottle – which in my personal opinion is a crime, having so little means I am rationing it…

I have my fingers crossed that Lush see sense and release the Posh Chocolate body lotion in larger quantities and outside of the gift set very soon!

Colour wise, the Posh Chocolate body lotion is lighter than I imagined it to be, especially when comparing it to other Posh Chocolate scented Lush products. Instead of chocolate-cake-brown, it is a very light shade of brown, almost cream.

Whenever I see a Lush body lotion sold in a bottle instead of a standard black-Lush-pot, I think it may be because the lotion has a super runny consistency. Posh Chocolate is however thick and creamy, much like the recently released Let the Good Times Roll body lotion.

Consistency wise it is a very good body lotion – it’s not too thick that it takes ages to absorb into your skin and not so runny that it spills everywhere when trying to get it out of the bottle.

With it only being available in a 100g bottle, it’s a good thing you only need a small amount each time you use it. Once the body lotion meets your skin, it simply glides across it like butter in a hot pan…

One of my favourite things about Lush products is that so many of them can be spread out over several uses, their products may be a little more expensive because you’re paying for important extras like ethically sourced ingredients, but you really do get a lot of product for your money when so little of it goes so far.

After use, the scent of the Posh Chocolate body lotion remains on your skin all day. As for the condition of your skin, it leaves it silky soft and so well-nourished, there isn’t anything more that you could possibly need out of a body lotion. Posh Chocolate is perfect!

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!

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!
