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!

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.

Snowdrift Bath Bomb from Lush

The Snowdrift Bath Bomb was first released by Lush in its 2022 Winter line, due to its popularity in 2022, Lush decided to bring it back for their 2023 Winter line.

The Snowdrift bath bomb is the standard sized Lush bath bomb, each of them are approximately 190g each so a tiny bit lighter than the all-year-round bath bombs, Twilight, Sex Bomb and Lakes.

When I first see the Snowdrift bath bomb because of its two shades of blue I couldn’t help but compare it to the long discontinued Frozen bath bomb.

It is coloured the exact same two shades of blue; the majority of it (like the Frozen bath bomb) is light blue and again, just like the Frozen bath bomb it has a dark blue belt around its middle.

The only visual difference between the Frozen and Snowdrift bath bombs is that the Snowdrift bath bomb has a white snowflake on its top.

The Snowdrift bath bombs scent is from Lush’s Outback Mate scent-family. Some recent products that share the same scent include the Snowball bath bomb and the, The Imperial Egg bath bomb.

The Snowdrift bath bomb contains eucalyptus oil, lemon grass oil and peppermint oil. Its scent is fresh and crisp which is just as I’d describe freshly fallen snow.

Due to its decongestant and antibacterial properties, eucalyptus is a popular go-to ingredient to help manage the symptoms of the common cold making the Snowdrift bath bomb perfect if you have a bit of a sniffle!

As soon as the Snowdrift bath bomb meets your bath water you are greeted with an explosion of blue foam.

As the water starts to take over the bath bomb, it spins and charges around your bath like a miniature speed boat, the most beautiful bath art then starts to spill out of it sending bursts of blue across the water’s surface.

Again, the bath art it creates can be compared to that created by the Frozen bath bomb although, the Snowdrift bath bomb has an almost white foam in it too adding a little more depth.

The Snowdrift bath bomb took just under 7 minutes to fully dissolve. Even though this is quite a quick fizzer the bath art it created was on par with other Lush bath bombs that take a lot longer to fully dissolve.

The peppermint, lemongrass and eucalyptus blend of ingredients really come to life in the hot bath water. The mix of the cool peppermint and hot water makes for a truly unique bathing experience that my tired and aching muscles thrive in.

The water at the end is the perfect shade of blue and is full of silver shimmer, you won’t be able to stop swishing it around watching as the shimmer catches the light in the beautifully blue water.

The bath bombs scent is also incredibly strong, lasting throughout the entire bath. Your skin feels super soft when you get out of the bath and a little tingly because of the mix of the cooling ingredients and hot bath water.

All in all, I really enjoyed using the Snowdrift bath bomb and can see why it came back for Winter 2023. Hopefully it will be a part of 2024’s Winter line too!
