Salted Caramel Lip Scrub from Lush

The main ingredient in all of Lush’s lip scrubs is caster sugar. To this day I am still lost for words that such a simple and natural mix of ingredients can do such a great job at exfoliating. It really does make me question why other cosmetic companies ever actively chose to use micro-plastics in their exfoliation products.

Lush’s lip scrubs are ridiculously underrated, if you’re on the fence about giving them a go I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

Today I am going to be reviewing the Salted Caramel Lip Scrub that first appeared in August 2021’s Lush Kitchen Subscriptions box and is where the now very famous, Sticky Dates Lush-scent-family all began!

I use Lush lip scrubs almost every day so whenever a new one comes out, I always make sure I grab a pot.

Using Lush lip scrubs requires a minimum amount of effort, and they cover everything your lips need to always look and feel their best.

They are the perfect product to exfoliate dry or chapped lips, and most are also very good at softening and hydrating them at the same time. Exfoliating your lips has so many benefits and thanks to Lush, it has never been easier to do.


As well as caster sugar, the Salted Caramel lip scrub also contains some of the following ingredients: Organic jojoba oil, fairtrade shea butter, golden caster sugar, extra fine sea salt, sandalwood oil, carob resinoid, benzoin resinoid, argan oil, cocoa powder and paprika.

Other products that share the same scent as the Salted Caramel lip scrub are the Sticky Dates shower gel, Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub, Sticky Dates body spray, Sticky Dates sugar scrub and Sticky Dates body lotion… Just to name a few!

To use, simply scoop out a little of the lip scrub with your finger then buff it on your lips. Once you’ve buffed them to your desired amount simply lick off any excess product.

Lush’s lip scrubs are obviously not meant to be eaten; BUT if a little amount of the Salted Caramel lip scrub does by accident end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips, you don’t need to worry.

I tend to favour the lighter or more natural to actual lip-colour lip scrubs over the brightly coloured ones because I find that the highly pigmented scrubs can sometimes leave your lips with a slight tint of whatever colour the lip scrub is.

I am however pleased to report that during use, I haven’t had any colour transfer from the Salted Caramel lip scrub at all. Not that, that would be a huge problem though as it’s very similar looks wise to brown sugar, with hardly any pigment.

Even though I’m usually not a huge fan of super sweet Lush products, I do actually like the smell/taste of the Salted Caramel lip scrub. It’s not the same, sickly-sweet as the Bubblegum lip scrub. It’s just like sticky toffee pudding, I can’t get enough!

A little amount of the Salted Caramel lip scrub goes a long way and it’s the perfect amount of scrubby. The grains in it are about the same size of sugar granules.

After using the Salted Caramel lip scrub my lips feel smoother and I also find the formula quite hydrating, I however wouldn’t say no to a Salted Caramel/Sticky Dates scented lip balm to add to the hydration… Please release one, Lush?

Overall, I love the Salted Caramel lip scrub and am eager to see what Sticky Dates scented products Lush come up with next!

Cold Water Soother Bath Bomb from Lush

The Cold Water Soother Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection and is the first ever Lush bath bomb specifically designed to be used in cool water.

The Cold Water Soother looks just like previous Epsom salt bath bombs such as the Deep Sleep Magnesium bath bomb and Salt Water Soother bath bomb.

Epsom salt is very popular to use in hot baths to help with muscle pain, even though I don’t exercise as much as I’d like due to illness, I do get a lot of muscle pain. I have never however used a product with Epsom salt in, in a cold bath before. In fact, I’ve never had a cold bath before!

While the Cold Water Soother bath bomb was designed to be used in a cold bath, I compromised and used it in a lukewarm bath instead… 

I was told it’s fine to use this product in a hot bath too if that’s what I really wanted to do, but I decided to meet Lush halfway opting for a lukewarm bath for the purpose of this review. With the weather being so hot in the UK right now there was no better time for me to give Cold Water Soother a try.


The Cold Water Soother bath bomb is cube shaped, one half of it is an orangey-yellow and the other half is white.

Each Cold Water Soother bath bomb is approximately 160g so a little lighter than the Epsom salt bath bombs that I mentioned above. To look at they however look the same size.

The Cold Water Soother bath bomb contains Epsom salts, fine sea salt, cedar leaf oil, cypress oil, eucalyptus oil, dark Sumatran patchouli oil and geosmin; Geosmin being the star of the show…

Geosmin is the compound responsible for the sweet, earthy smell of falling rain. It is believed to have positive effects on your mood which in turn promotes calmness and relaxation.

Cold Water Soother’s scent is incredibly unique, it smells just like soil after it has rained, with notes of enlivening eucalyptus too.

If you shut your eyes, it’s easy to imagine that you’re not in the bath and are in fact, taking a dip in a freshwater lake in a lush green forest.

As soon as the Cold Water Soother touches your bath water you are greeted with a loud hiss. The orangey-yellow part of the bath bomb spills out orange, slowly changing the colour of your bath water.

After just a few seconds the bath bomb sinks to the bottom of your bath. When bath bombs sink like this, I like to let the bubbles tickle my back. There’s something so relaxing about it!

Like the other Epsom bath bombs, the Cold Water Soother is a very quick dissolver and doesn’t create any bath art.

The best part about Cold Water Soother is its scent, I really hope this isn’t the last that we see of this fragrance, I’d love to try it in different product formats, a shower gel or perfume would be incredible.

After just four minutes, all that is left of the Cold Water Soother are the chunks of salt at the bottom of the bath, I suspect the chunks of salt would dissolve quicker if the bath water was at a higher temperature.

The Cold Water Soothers scent engulfs your bathroom from the moment the bath bomb touches your bath water.

The smell of freshly fallen rain is just as relaxing as any lavender based scent. With the Cold Water Soother in town, who needs lavender and chamomile based bath bombs to wind down?

My skin lapped up the rich with magnesium’s Cold Water Soothers water. Tense muscles quickly relax, and my skin is still super soft 24 hours after using it. The scent lasted on my skin for a good eight hours too.

Overall, I loved everything about the Cold Water Soother bath bomb and I’m glad I tried it in a lukewarm bath instead of my usual red hot.

Its scent is the perfect escape of the stresses of everyday life. A soak in a Cold Water Soother bath left my mind feeling lighter and calmer.

After one of the most stressful weeks of my life due to my cat being poorly, I couldn’t have used the Cold Water Soother at a better time.

Peaches Body Spray from Lush

The Peaches Body Spray is one of six exclusive body sprays that Lush have just released a limited amount of.

As you can see from the photos included in this review, the Peaches body spray doesn’t have the standard Lush, black-and-white-label on it. The Peaches body sprays label is a standout, bright peachy-shade-of-orange.

Lush were clever to inject so much colour into the labels of each body spray in this Summer-led fragrance drop. The bright colours scream Summer, alongside the uplifting scents contained within the six body spray bottles you can’t go wrong.

Each of the body sprays are impossible not to get excited about. BUT we all know you’re here to hear about the body sprays not their labels; Without further ado…


Peaches isn’t a new Lush scent; We were first introduced to it through the Princess Peach shower jelly and Princess Peach body spray back in early 2023. Since then, it has also featured in the Passion Fruit exfoliating shower gel and most recently the ridiculously popular Thermal Waves bath bomb.

Ingredients wise, the Peaches body spray contains organic sweet orange oil, buchu oil, litsea cubeba oil, olibanum resinoid and champaca absolute. This carefully selected group of ingredients create such an uplifting fragrance that is not just fit for Princess Peach but for anyone that loves to sip a cocktail or three on the beach!

If you are familiar with Lush’s Peachy bath bomb, Peaches is quite similar to that but with a tropical twist. The longer you sniff it, the more complex the fragrance gets.

At first, I can smell a blend of peach and pineapple then after a few more seconds there’s a muskiness to the scent too. There is something so mouth-wateringly juicy about it.

Just one spritz of the Peaches body spray either on your body or clothes is all you need for it to last on you all day. The first time I put it on, I sprayed it three or four times and I quickly realised that was a mistake. Any more than two squirts of it made what is a delicate and fun, fruity fragrance, overpowering in a sickly way.

Sometimes less is more and using less of the Peaches body spray, is in my opinion the best way to use it. The fact that you have to use such a small amount per day makes it excellent value for money, which we can all agree is something we look for from cosmetic products these days.

Lush’s fragrances are always marketed for use by everyone, but my husband took a particular liking to the Peaches body spray… Here’s me warning you to not leave your bottle of it out just anywhere, people will be drawn in by its pretty packaging then become completely hooked after just one squirt. Make sure to keep your bottle of it out of reach from others, this is one body spray you won’t want to share, it’s that good! 😉
