Passion Shower Gel from Lush

The Passion Shower Gel was first released by Lush as a part of their 2024 Valentine’s Day line. Its name is very similar to the recently released Lush Kitchen exclusive, Passion Fruit exfoliating shower gel but it is only their names that are similar. Both are very different shower products.

The Passion shower gel is described on Lush’s website as a ‘lustrous shower gel’ that is fit to go hand in hand with ‘a love fuelled by passion and commitment’. 

It is a darker shade of rose-red and is shimmery through-out in an almost pearlescent way. Quite often with Lush shower gels, the ones with added sparkle begin to separate quickly, with all the shimmer collecting at the bottom of the bottle; BUT I have heard that Passion is a new type of shower-gel-formula that won’t separate.

I haven’t had it long enough to confirm but so far, so good!

The Passion shower gel contains a long list of ingredients, some of them being ingredients often associated with romance; There’s an infusion of red rose petals, fresh passion fruit, buchu oil, fine sea salt, litsea cubeba oil as well as sweet wild orange oil.

Passion shares its scent with several recently released Lush products, the Cyclops bubble bar, SpongeBob bath bomb and Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub just to name a few.

The best way to describe the Passion shower gel’s scent is a rich passion fruit like fragrance, I have heard several customers say that with it being so fruity, it would also work well as a Summer-time product. Maybe a Summer perfume with the same fragrance would sell well, Lush?

Consistency-wise the Passion shower gel is lovely and thick but also super-silky, something I’m not used to from Lush shower gels.

The Passion shower gel lathers up quickly and a very small amount goes an incredibly long way. A blob the size of a one-pound coin is more than enough to wash your whole body.

Its scent really does come alive when combined with the hot water and steam from your shower and it feels incredible on your skin.

Unfortunately the shower gels scent doesn’t stay on your skin for very long but I couldn’t help but notice how soft my skin was after using it, it feels like I’ve used a dusting powder, it’s so silky to touch! I wouldn’t say it was a particularly hydrating shower gel, but it doesn’t dry out my skin either.

Overall, I am very impressed with the Passion shower gel and hope to grab an extra bottle before the 2024 Valentine’s Day line retires as I think it would be especially fabulous to use in the Summer!

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.
