Glinda Upland Body Spray from Lush

Lush have collaborated with the number one must-see film of the year, Wicked. The phenomenal Wicked X Lush range is out now, just in time for the film’s highly anticipated release!

Each product in this well thought out collection oozes all-things-Oz and showcases some very unusual yet beautifully harmonious ingredient blends that shouldn’t work well together yet do…

With several of the products in the Wicked X Lush collection having brand new Lush-scent-families I have my reviewing-work well and truly cut out. Today I will be reviewing the Glinda Upland Body Spray.

The Glinda Upland body spray comes in the most unbelievably beautiful packaging. The spray bottles are still the traditional Lush black, but their labels are in Wicked inspired colours. Glinda Upland’s label is of course bright pink and has a shiny pink silhouette of Glinda in the centre of its label.

Ingredients wise, the Glinda Upland body spray contains rose oil, palmarosa oil, sesame seed absolute, vanilla absolute, almond essential oil, orris oil and benzoin resinoid.

As Lush-scent-families go, with the Wicked X Lush line, I don’t think there has ever been a stronger scented collection of products.

The Elphaba Thropp body spray (the other body spray in the Wicked X Lush collection) is actually the strongest scented Lush product I have ever used, and the Glinda Upland body spray is a very close second…

Both have incredible staying power. I am always hesitant to use too much of a new Lush body spray/perfume as I am easily overwhelmed. After my experience with Elphaba Thropp I used the Glinda Upland body spray sparingly which turned out to be a very wise decision!

One spritz was more than enough to last on my clothes for at least 18 hours. Most Lush scents are considered quite strong, but both the Wicked X Lush body sprays are on a whole new level of powerful.

The Glinda Upland scent is velvety, creamy and sweet. My nose really picks up on the rose oil in it although, the rose oil is softened somewhat with the sweetness of the vanilla. It almost has a pistachio like layer to its scent too. It makes me think of a bakery that shares its space with a flower shop!

The beautifully designed labels on the Wicked X Lush body sprays will definitely tempt the customers in. After all, it did me! I never usually blind buy body sprays, but I couldn’t resist when I saw them in this incredible Oz collection!

The Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb that is also a part of the Wicked X Lush collection is said to be a blend of both of the Wicked X Lush body sprays.

I would never have come to this conclusion had I not been told though. I cannot smell the Elphaba Thropp fragrance in the Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb at all, I can however recognise notes of Glinda Upland in it.

BUT again, both of the Wicked X Lush body sprays scent-families are so complicated and full of such a complex amount of ingredients that it’s almost impossible for me to recognise either/or in the bath bomb.

Overall, I really like the Glinda Upland body spray. Like the Elphaba Thropp body spray it is a little intense scent-strength-wise but is my favourite of the two because of how velvety and sweet it is.

Green Shower Elixir Shower Gel from Lush

The Green Shower Elixir Shower Gel is the first of the Wicked X Lush collaboration products that I will be reviewing for you. I was lucky enough to receive a bottle of it as a gift from Lush.

With the highly anticipated release of the film Wicked, Lush have created a new range, jam packed with Land-of-Oz inspired wonders.

Each product within the collection oozes the magic of Oz, showcasing some very unusual yet beautifully harmonious ingredient blends that shouldn’t work together, but somehow do… No other Lush collection has ever smelt this good!

Everything about this shower gel screams Wicked. From the shade of green that it is, to its incredibly detailed label, you can tell just by looking at it that a lot of time and thought went into each and every aspect of it.

The Green Shower Elixir shower gel contains some of the following ingredients: willow herb decoction, glycerine, water, litsea cubeba oil, Brazilian orange oil and benzoin resinoid.

Its scent is brand new to Lush and is described by Lush as being, ‘an elixir so enchanting, it’ll have the whole of Oz ready to go green!’

I always struggle to describe scents but the first word that comes to mind when I give Green Shower Elixir a sniff is juicy. It reminds me of when you take the first bite of a melon, juicy, wet and refreshing. It’s crisp, fruity, moreish and smells just like I imagine a green magic potion to smell.

The Green Shower Elixir is a clear emerald-green coloured shower gel, it’s reasonably thick but comes out of the bottle easily.

A very small amount of the Green Shower Elixir shower gel goes a long way, It effortlessly lathers up into a smooth creamy paste, gently gliding over your skin leaving it softer, more hydrated and cleaner.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom, it reminds me of a big bowl of sliced up melon.

Once out of the shower the Green Shower Elixir’s scent remains on your skin for several hours. With it being quite a fruity fragrance, I am surprised at how long it lasts, normally fruity scents don’t have as much staying power but Green Shower Elixir’s scent lingers. With thanks to the glycerine in this shower gel, my skin has never felt softer or plumper.

Overall, the Green Shower Elixir is a wonderful shower gel, I hope that Lush decide to bring out more products in its scent, it would be a crime for Lush to not explore this delicious scent in other product formats!
