Magik CBD Temple Balm from Lush

Lush have recently added four new ‘Magik’ products to their CBD range, today I am reviewing the brand new Magik Temple Balm.

I was lucky enough to be gifted all four of the new CBD products from Lush, I am so incredibly grateful for Lush’s generosity yet again!

I recently reviewed the newly repackaged Dream Time and Whoosh temple balms; With both of them being products I have loved since I very first got into Lush, I naturally couldn’t wait to give the Magik temple balm a try.

Before we delve deeper into my review of the Magik temple balm I want to talk about the CBD element of all the new products.

For the CBD ratio in each product, you’ll get the most accurate information on Lush’s website.

CBD is short for cannabidiol; Cannabidiol is the non-psychoactive and non-addictive compound found in hemp plants, in simple terms it means using this Lush product won’t get you high.

There has been a lot of research conducted around the use of CBD oil and it is said to have a long list of health-benefits.

It is said to help with stress management as well as aiding those suffering with anxiety and/or sleep problems, it has also been proven to help people like me, who suffer from medical conditions that cause wide-spread chronic pain.

The very reason I first got into Lush was because I was looking for non-medicinal alternatives to prescription painkillers, so it is only natural for me to jump at the chance to try each of the new CBD products.

All of my reviews on this blog are my own personal experience with Lush products. I’ve had a few messages from people who haven’t tried the Magik products yet but have some experience with CBD saying things like, ‘this won’t work for, A, B, C.’

I’m always open to listen to other people’s thoughts and opinions but I feel my job in a review like this is to tell you how I found the product AFTER I have used it and not before, so here we go…

Like the Dream Time and Whoosh temple balms that I mentioned above, the Magik temple balm is in a twisting capped tube (a bit like a school glue stick) to use you simply push it up from the bottom.

Temple balms are meant to be applied directly on to your temples but can also be applied on all of your pulse points too. Personally, I like to put the Lush temple balms on the inside of my wrist, a bit like you would a perfume.

Lush’s website describes the Magik temple balm as a product that is always on hand throughout the day to rescue you with its bespoke blend of calming ingredients.

The Magik temple balm contains organic jojoba oil, organic candelilla wax, organic castor oil, cannabidiol in hemp seed oil, chamomile blue oil, jasmine absolute, violet leaf absolute and ylang ylang absolute.

The most dominant ingredient that my nose picks up on is the violet leaf absolute; Other products that share its scent (alongside the other three products from the same ‘Magik’ line) are the Ultra Violet bubble bar and Wild Violet Co-Mingle body scrub.

It has a really fresh and calming fragrance, along with the violet leaf there are herbal and grassy elements to it too.

The Magik temple balm glides on to your skin easily and a very small amount goes a long way, like the other temple balms it has a very strong scent. Only a dab of it on your pulse point is necessary.

The scent of the Magik temple balm lasts on your skin for a good few hours. For me in particular, I have always found this products Lush-scent-family quite calming so it wouldn’t be fair to assume that my feeling more relaxed while wearing it was all down to the CBD content with in it. BUT I do feel relaxed and peaceful when I use it.

I hope Lush decide to bring out more temple balms in the future as they’ve quickly become a part of my daily routine!

Whoosh Temple Balm from Lush

Temple balms aren’t new to Lush, I first tried the Whoosh Temple Balm on one of my very first visits to Lush Oxford Street. I think at the time of my first visit, both it and the Dream Time temple balm were only available in spa stores.

Fast forward to 2024 and both the Whoosh and Dream Time temple balms have been revamped with new packaging and are now available to purchase online.

Previously, the temple balms have only been sold in little tins, now they are in twisting capped tubes (a bit like a school glue stick) that you push up from the bottom. As a disabled woman who often struggles to open small tins, this has pleased me no end!

We can also all get excited as the new temple balm packaging is a part of Lush’s plastic pot return scheme. If you didn’t know already, you can bring your clean, empty pots into a Lush store to swap them for money off your next purchase!

Temple balms are meant to be applied directly on to your temples but can also be applied on all of your pulse points too. Personally, I like to put the Lush temple balms on the inside of my wrists a bit like you would a perfume.

The Whoosh temple balm is meant to be used when you’re in need of a boost, Lush’s website describes it as a ‘sweet and zesty aroma of get-up-and-go grapefruit’ as well as claiming that it is ‘perfect for perking up a dull morning.’

Whoosh contains organic jojoba oil, organic castor oil, organic candelilla wax, grapefruit oil, rosemary oil and geranium oil.

The most dominant ingredient my nose picks up on is the grapefruit, Lush weren’t wrong when they said that the Whoosh temple balms scent would leave you bright and alert.

The Whoosh temple balm glides on to your skin easily and a very small amount goes a long way, like the Dream Time temple balm it’s a very strong scent too. Only a dab of it on your pulse points is necessary. 

I’m quite funny with things that could potentially make my already oily face oilier. The Whoosh temple balm is however not a greasy formula and soaks into your skin super quickly so I’m happy to use it on my temples. The scent lasts for a good few hours too.

There’s just something so energising about the Whoosh temple balms scent, it smells just like something I’d be served for breakfast to set me up for the day at a really fancy hotel!

While I can’t say for certain that it’s only the Whoosh temple balm that has helped put a spring in my step of a morning, I do seem to feel a little more cheerful on the days that I have used it.

Dream Time Temple Balm from Lush

Temple balms aren’t new to Lush, I first tried the Dream Time Temple Balm on my very first visit to Lush Oxford Street. I think at the time of my first visit, both it and the Whoosh temple balm were only available in spa stores. Fast forward to 2024 and both the Whoosh and Dream Time temple balms have been revamped with new packaging and are now available to purchase online.

Previously, the temple balms have only been sold in little tins, now they are in twisting capped tubes (a bit like a school glue stick) that you push up from the bottom. As a disabled person who often struggles to open small tins, this has pleased me no end!

Temple balms are meant to be applied directly on to your temples but can also be applied on all of your pulse points too. Personally, I like to put the Lush temple balms on the inside of my wrists a bit like you would a perfume.

The Dream Time temple balm’s name is self-explanatory; Meant to be used before bed, Lush’s website describes it as a ‘soporifically scented balm that works hard to calm hardworking minds and promote relaxation.’

Dream Time contains organic jojoba oil, organic castor oil, organic candelilla wax, lavender oil, ginger oil, sandalwood oil, chamomile blue oil and jasmine absolute.

The most dominant ingredient my nose picks up on in Dream Time is the lavender, next is the chamomile. It is a really relaxing scent.

The Dream Time temple balm glides on to your skin easily and a very small amount goes a long way, it’s quite a strong scent too. My husband can always tell when I’ve put only the smallest amount of it on.

I’m quite funny with strong scents (especially before bed as my brain will try absolutely anything to distract itself from getting some rest) Dream Time temple balm is however not a greasy formula and soaks into your skin super quickly. The strength of the scent doesn’t last for long, but I still feel just as relaxed even after the fragrance has lessened.

While I can’t say for certain that it’s only Dream Time that has helped me sleep better, I do seem to drop off a little easier after using it.

If I have had a stressful or upsetting day I do reach for it and I’m excited that now it is more readily available I can make it a proper part of my every day routine!
