Sticky Dates Co-Mingle Body Scrub from Lush

Exactly a year after the Co-Mingle body scrub first came out Lush released another just like it, the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle Body Scrub. The Sticky Dates Co-Mingle is a part of Lush’s small but impressive, limited-edition 2023 Eid line. You’ll recognise its scent from last years’ Eid-line-product turned all-year-round item, the Sticky Dates shower gel.

Sticky Dates Co-Mingle is sold in pots of 225g and is described by Lush as a ‘wash, exfoliant and moisturiser all in one.’ After the success of both the original Co-Mingle and Sticky Dates shower gel I couldn’t wait to give it a go.

The Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub is brown, just like the shower gel of the same name. Consistency-wise it’s a little less fluffy than the original Co-Mingle, at the risk of putting people off, I’d describe it as a very watery, chocolate porridge. I admit that on a sensory level, I was wary with its formula at first. It’s not the most pleasant to look at or to get out of the pot BUT once you get to using it how it is intended to be used, all is fine, I promise.

As I said earlier, the Sticky Dates Co-Mingles scent is the same as the Sticky Dates shower gel. Its scent is truly delicious, it smells just like a hot and gooey, sticky toffee pudding with a generous scoop or 2 of vanilla ice cream. Yummy.

One of the things I really love about Lush is the thought that goes into each individual lush product. Lush never just throw random ingredients together. During Eid, dates are quite often the first food to be eaten when breaking fast. Hence the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub being a part of the Eid line.

Sticky Dates Co-Mingle contains a long list of ingredients, some of those included are, vanilla pod infusion, organic date syrup, orange juice, ground date-stones and almond shells as well as almond, argan and sandalwood oils. The ground date-stones and almond shells are the secret scrubby ingredients that makes the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle such a good exfoliator.

A very small amount of the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub goes a long way, like the original Co-Mingle I however always overindulge when using it. I scoop out about 3 fingers worth and that easily does my whole body, twice over. Unlike the original Co-Mingle, the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle starts to exfoliate immediately, it lathers up effortlessly and its delicious scent fills your bathroom as it scrubs, washes, and hydrates your skin all in one.

The Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub is just as good as the original Co-Mingle if not better. After using it my skin feels so much softer, appears brighter and is so incredibly hydrated. There really is no need to moisturise after using it. Although, I wouldn’t say no to Lush creating a Sticky Dates body lotion… The Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub also cleans just as good as any shower gel or body wash.

I adore both the Sticky Dates Lush-scent-family and the whole idea behind Co-Mingle body scrubs, I can’t wait to see what Lush create next!

Light the Night Bath Bomb from Lush

The Light the Night Bath Bomb is one of Lush’s very first, limited edition Eid inspired products. It first became available earlier this year (2022) and was exclusively available to purchase in the weeks leading up to Eid 2022.

As you can see from the photos that I have included in this review, the Light the Night bath bomb is shaped just like a shimmery gold and purple lantern. Weighing in at approximately 110g, the Light the Night bath bomb is a little bit bigger than the Ickle Baby Bot bath bomb, but not by much!

The Light the Night bath bomb contains jasmine and vanilla absolutes, alongside those are a generous helping of rose syrup, labdanum resinoid and pomegranate molasses too.

When I first see that the Light the Night bath bomb had jasmine in it, I was worried I wouldn’t like its fragrance. Out of all of the fresh ingredients that Lush use in their products I feel as if the ‘Marmite’ ingredient is jasmine.

Customers seem to either love or hate it. I am not a huge fan of the jasmine fragrance but can stomach it in most Lush products.

Luckily, I actually didn’t mind the scent of the Light the Night bath bomb, the 2 more dominant fragrances I get from it are the jasmine and vanilla, there seems to be just the right amount of vanilla to round off the heaviness of the jasmine I tend to not favour. Light the Nights scent is a fairly light, vanilla-rich fragrance.

Considering the smaller size of the Light the Night bath bomb I have to admit that I think it’s a little overpriced. I rarely mention price in my Lush reviews as they are subject to change so often but (at the time of writing this review) the Light the Night bath bomb is priced at £6 each. Over the last few years, I have been really worried that Lush are beginning to price themselves out and I feel that with Light the Night, they are doing just that.

Quality wise Lush products are the best out there, all of the ingredients that they use are ethically sourced and of the best quality too, this has always reflected in the products prices but with bath bombs being single use products I find myself feeling a little robbed if I am charged anything over £4.50 per item.

As soon as the Light the Night bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of yellow, green and blue foam. It doesn’t take long for the bath bomb to start spinning around the water’s surface, creating peacock-like coloured bath art. 

My Light the Night bath bomb took approximately 7 minutes to dissolve; it creates the most incredibly soft bath-water and I found that it left my skin feeling super hydrated and soft too. Its scent didn’t really last on my skin once I got out of the bath but it made a huge difference on how my skin felt.

There’s nothing better than silky soft feeling skin after a relaxing bath.

Overall, I enjoyed the Light the Night bath bomb a lot more than I expected, as I said earlier the jasmine ingredient seems to be either a clear hit or miss with customers and for this bath bomb it was very much a hit for me. I am really looking forward to seeing what other holidays Lush begin to honour with future product lines after this years small yet amazing Eid line!
