Posh Chocolate Body Scrub from Lush

With a brand new year comes brand new Lush products, and I’m amazed at just how many of them are body scrubs!

A brand-new body scrub has not only featured in the latest Lush Kitchen subscription box but also in the 2025 Valentine’s Day collection. Lush have also just launched five more limited-edition body scrubs, each with scents selected by the Lush Community.

Today I am reviewing the Posh Chocolate Body Scrub – (one of the five chosen to be made by the Lush Community). I was lucky enough to receive a pot of it as a gift from Lush.

The Posh Chocolate body scrub is a continuation of the fairly new, Posh Chocolate scented product line. First, we had the Posh Chocolate body wash, followed by the Posh Chocolate shower gel. Both products (especially the shower gel) are huge hits with customers so when a body scrub equivalent was released it didn’t come as much of a surprise.

The Posh Chocolate body scrub contains a long list of ingredients, some of those included are, caster sugar, fair trade organic cocoa butter, organic extra virgin olive oil, cocoa powder, illipe butter, fairtrade organic mango butter, cocoa absolute, Australian sandalwood oil and vanilla absolute.

The fact that the Posh Chocolate body scrub is a sugar-based scrub had me very excited as, as much as I love the salt based scrubs, the finer texture and consistency that sugar scrubs have – I feel, just do a better job exfoliation wise.

With sugar scrubs having a finer texture they aren’t as harsh on the skin but still get the job done – exfoliating your skin perfectly all while moisturising it too.

The Posh Chocolate body scrub smells just like a tub of hazelnut and cocoa spread. I hate to state the obvious, but you’d be surprised at how many people do ask… Lush products aren’t meant to be eaten but if I was forced into eating one, I’d definitely reach for something from the Posh Chocolate line!

I scoop out about 3 fingers worth of body scrub out per use; This amount can easily scrub your whole body (you could possibly get away with less but I’m greedy). With a small amount of water, it’s easy to work the Posh Chocolate body scrub into a paste that glides across your skin taking with it any dead skin and dirt.

It’s an excellent product for both hydrating and exfoliating skin leaving it appearing brighter and refreshed in just seconds.

After using the Posh Chocolate body scrub its sweet chocolate scent remains on your skin for several hours. It leaves your skin smoother, brighter-in-appearance and well hydrated, there is no need to moisturise after using it – although, I wouldn’t say no to a Posh Chocolate scented body lotion!

Overall, I love the Posh Chocolate body scrub. I’m disappointed that, at the time of writing this review, it’s only available for a limited time as I truly believe it would do exceptionally well as a mainline product.

Macaque Bubble Bar from Lush

The Macaque Bubble Bar (pronounced muh-cark) is Lush’s latest fundraising product.

The sales of this limited-edition bubble bar supports efforts to protect Simeulue’s primary rainforests and the endangered long-tailed macaque that calls the rainforests of Simeulue their home.

75% of the sales price of this bubble bar (excluding tax) goes directly to organisations tackling deforestation and human-wildlife conflict on the island.

The Macaque bubble bar is terracotta coloured and created in the shape of a Macaque monkey.

Each Macaque bubble bar is approximately 130g.

Some of the ingredients included in the Macaque bubble bar are, olibanum and bergamot oil. Macaque shares its scent with the Blackberry bath bomb, belonging to Lush’s ‘Sultana’ scent family.

Other products that share its scent are the Bubble Lugosi bubble bar and Sultana shower gel.

The blend of olibanum and bergamot oil are perfect for helping you wind down after a long or stressful day. The olibanum offers a sweet and gentle woody aroma while the bergamot gives it a delicate floral, slightly citrus-fruit edge.

I often reach for products from the Sultana scent family if I have a headache as I find that particular mix of ingredients really helps soothe any tension I am holding on to.

To use the Macaque bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a sieve then let the running water trickle over it as I run the bath. I find this the most effective way to use single use bubbles bars.

This method is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have found that this method helps create the maximum amount of bubbles!

The best thing about Lush’s bubble bars is that they can be spread over several baths. With the Macaque bubble bar being only 130g I however recommend only spreading it out over two baths. Anymore and I feel like you’ll be compromising on its scent quality and the bubble amount.

A thick blanket of bubbles begins to grow immediately after holding the bubble bar under the running tap. Normally, Lush bubble bars create white bubbles, but I noticed with the Macaque bubble bar that the bubbles had a slightly yellow hue to them.

The water underneath the collection of fluffy bubbles is a warm very inviting shade of yellow; As you sink into the bath water you can immediately feel how silky the water has become.

My skin feels soft and perfectly hydrated upon getting out of a Macaque bubble bath, it’s delicious scent also remains on my skin for the rest of the day.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Macaque bubble bar and the fact it is raising money for a worthy cause makes it all the better!

Rebirth Bath Bomb from Lush

Every year Lush release a Lunar New Year bath bomb, each bath bomb is inspired by the zodiac animal of the year that it is released.

We got the Inner Dragon bath bomb in 2024, the Gold Rabbit bath bomb in 2023, and the Lucky Tiger bath bomb in 2022.

With 2025 being the year of the snake, the snake-shaped Rebirth Bath Bomb was created!

The Rebirth bath bomb is designed to resemble a coiled up snake with its head exposed. Its smooth body is covered in large circles representing the snakes’ scales.

With the snake coiled up like this, it still gives the bath bomb a strong, spherical shape.

Designing it like this was a wise choice from Lush as I think a long, thin snake (similar to the original Northern Lights bath bomb) would have made it an impossibly fragile bath bomb.

All the Lunar New Year bath bombs over the years have featured similar colour palettes, with plenty of warm yellows, oranges, and reds, always complemented by a generous shimmer of gold.

Rebirth is a golden-yellow throughout and is finished off with a very generous layer of the golden shimmer, I don’t think we’ve ever had a Lunar New Year bath bomb quite as shimmery as this, it’s beautiful!

Rebirth shares the same fragrance as the Golden Wonder bath bomb, belonging to Lush’s ‘Celebrate’ scent family. Other products that share its scent include, the Celebrate shower gel and Buck’s Fizz body conditioner.

Rebirth contains some of the following ingredients: sweet wild orange oil, lime oil and plenty of popping candy.

Its fragrance happens to be one of my all-time favourites from Lush, it’s vibrant, warming and often described as being the bath time equivalent of a glass of bubbling Champagne.

As soon as the Rebirth bath bomb touches the water there is an explosion of thick orangey-yellow foam, as the foam loses its thickness it turns a brighter shade of yellow, losing its original orangey glow.

As the water takes over the bath bomb you begin to see two different colours of bath art coming out of it, there are streaks of bright yellow and also a much more toned down golden yellow colour.

The popping candy in Rebirth doesn’t make an appearance straight away, mine didn’t start crackling away until about five minutes after it was placed into the bath water.

The Rebirth bath bomb takes a good 10 minutes to fully dissolve, and the popping candy continues to put on a show for a couple of minutes after the bath bomb has gone. The water left behind is bright yellow and full of golden shimmer.

The scent from the bath bomb lingers in your bathroom for a couple of hours after using it and remained on my skin for the best part of the rest of the day too. I was surprised at how soft it left my skin; it says on Lush’s website that just like a snake’s skin this bath bomb ‘sheds doubt and stretches your potential’ – Using Rebirth certainly started off my 2025 by leaving me feeling refreshed and ready.

Overall, I loved the Rebirth bath bomb, its scent and shimmering water being some of my favourite parts of it. Next year (2026) will be the year of the horse which happens to be my zodiac animal so I’m very excited to see what Lush come up with this time next year!
