Posh White Chocolate and Rose Body Wash from Lush

The Posh White Chocolate and Rose Body Wash was first released by Lush as a part of their 2024 Valentine’s Day line. It seems to be a loved-up sibling of the current staple-store-product, Posh Chocolate body wash.

Posh White Chocolate comes in both a 100g pot and 225g pot. I always recommend getting the bigger pot for products like these as you are guaranteed to want more once you start using it. The last smaller potted product that I got from Lush was the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub, I got through it so quickly, I can only hope Lush bring it back so I can get it again in a much bigger pot.

The Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash contains fair-trade organic aloe vera gel, rose water, coconut milk powder, Australian sandalwood oil, vanilla absolute, rose oil, fair-trade Colombian cocoa butter, and rose bud heads for decoration.

Fresh from the pot the Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash smells just like chocolate but with a rose water twist.

In the photo above you can see the gold sprayed rose buds that decorate the top of the Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash. Before I used this body wash I took them out and put them to one side. As I said earlier, I believe they are purely decorational but I saved mine to use in a later bath, the buds used this way remind me of the the Tisty Tosty bath bomb!

The Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash’s consistency is a lot creamier than the Posh Chocolate body wash that I mentioned earlier. Posh Chocolate is a lot like butter icing, but Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash is more like a thick body lotion.

It’s a very light cream but lathers up quickly and with minimum effort, it almost feels like it melts into your skin as you spread it over yourself.

With it being such a creamy consistency, I was unsure at first on how much of the product I needed to use per shower. My main worry was that using too much would leave my skin feeling oily BUT as soon as I used the White Chocolate and Rose body wash, I noticed that it seemed to soak right in, gliding onto my skin like butter on hot toast.

A small amount of the White Chocolate and Rose body wash goes a very long way. A blob that is about the same size as a two-pound coin is probably a lot more than you need for your whole body making the Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash excellent value for money.

I love that there’s no need to use a shower gel after using it, it’s the perfect mix of a shower wash and skin conditioner.

During use, the scent of the rose water and oil in the body wash comes through much stronger when mixed with the steam and hot water from the shower.

The White Chocolate and Rose body wash is incredibly nourishing for your skin. Once you’ve lathered it up and washed your body with it, simply rinse it off just as you would a shower gel.

Its scent stays on your skin for about an hour after you have used it and your skin stays hydrated and smooth right up until your next shower, there is no need to use a body lotion afterwards making the White Chocolate and Rose body wash a time saving product too!

Overall, I adore the Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash, I love the scent, the blend of chocolate and roses really fits in with the whole theme of Valentine’s Day. I also love how it feels lathering it up on my skin and how gentle a formula it is too.

Snowy Bath Bomb from Lush

The Snowy Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Christmas line.

Snowy is a cute snowman head, it is designed to look like it has coal for a smile, nose and eyes while also wearing a blue, bath-bomb-beanie-hat with a bright white bobble on its top.

Weighing in at approximately 180g each, the Snowy bath bomb is the same size as the New Snow Fairy bath bomb from the same line.

The Snowy bath bomb contains bergamot oil, lavender oil and lemongrass oil.

It shares its scent with Lush’s Love shower gel. If you’ve been a Lush customer for quite some time, you’ll most likely recognise its scent from the Love body spray and Fizzbanger bath bomb.

The ‘Love’ scent family is a much-loved Lush fragrance that has most recently come back through the charity product, the Welcome bath bomb too.

The Love Lush-scent-family is best described as fierce. It is always the most dominant scented product in the room and is easily recognised.

My nose mostly picks up on the lemongrass and bergamot oil in it, but I’d describe it as smelling sweet with a pinch of spiciness. It’s a very sharp yet musky citrus.

As soon as the Snowy bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a gentle stream of blue and white bubbles.

The Snowy bath bomb is not fantastic bath-art-wise as it sinks BUT the blue and white colours of it are so striking together as it fizzes away. When bath bombs sink, I like to lie back and let the bubbles tickle my back, it’s so relaxing!

The Snowy bath bomb takes approximately 10 minutes to fully dissolve and turns your bath water a bold and very bright shade of sky blue. With all the grey skies lately, it’s really made me miss the Summer…

I found the waters left behind by the Snowy bath bomb really warming on your skin. The scent remains in your bathroom (although not as strongly) long after you pull the plug too.

The ‘Love’ scent can also still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath and my skin still felt soft and appeared brighter the next day after using it.

I really enjoyed using the Snowy bath bomb, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art out of it but other than that I think it’s the perfect little Christmas time bath bomb.

Reindeer Bubble Bar from Lush

The Reindeer Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Christmas line. Designed to look like a very happy version of Rudolph, red nose, and all – I couldn’t help but pick up one as soon as they became available.

The Reindeer bubble bars scent is brand new too. It is described on Lush’s website as ‘cheery cherry-fragranced bubbles.’

Each Reindeer bubble bar weighs in at approximately 130g. It’s a good-sized bubble bar that fits snuggly in my hand.

The Reindeer bubble bar contains almond oil, benzoin resinoid and Irish moss powder.

The Reindeer’s scent is incredibly Christmassy; Its mix of almond oil and benzoin resinoid is what gives it, its cheery-cherry-like-fragrance.

It’s super warming, the more you sniff it the more you want to use it!

It’s a soft bubble bar too making it easy to break up, ready to use.

To use the Reindeer bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a sieve and let the running bath-water trickle over it.

I find this the most effective way to use Lush’s single use bubble bars. This method is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted. Through trial and error, I have found that this sieve-method makes the most bubbles too.

The one thing that I love about Lush’s bubble bars over their bath bombs is that they can easily be spread out over several baths. With Reindeer being a medium sized Lush bubble bar, you can easily get two heavily-bubbled-bubble-baths out of it.

Sharing the Reindeer bubble bar over two different baths didn’t compromise on its scent-quality at all.

The blanket of fluffy white bubbles started to grow as soon as I placed the broken-up pieces under the running tap. Underneath the fast-building blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns an inviting shade of bright orange.

Once in the bath, I couldn’t help but notice how creamy and soft the water was. A Reindeer bubble-bar-bath leaves your skin feeling so smooth and unbelievably hydrated. A lot of the thanks for this is down to the addition of the Irish moss powder.

Once out of the bath, its scent (although a lot more subtle now) lasts for a good few hours on your skin.

Overall, I really like the Reindeer bubble bar, it’s probably my favourite Christmas time bubble bar to be released since the Cinnamon Roll bubble bar. I really hope it comes back next year and I’d also love to see future products created in its scent.
