Turtle Power Body Scrub from Lush

The Turtle Power Body Scrub is yet another product from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle collaboration, TMNT x LUSH.

I was lucky enough to receive one in a surprise box sent to me by Lush. Thank you again, Lush!

All of the products in the TMNT x LUSH line are inspired by no other than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, and are also plastic free, Lush always do a plastic free July and the TMNT x LUSH line has showcased plastic free cosmetic products perfectly.

The Turtle Power body scrub is mostly purple and is created in the shape of a drain lid. In a dark green graffiti font, it says ‘Turtle Power’ on its top.

The Turtle Power body scrub shares its scent with several products that are firm favourites of mine; The Blackberry bath bomb, Sultana shower gel, Bewitched bubble bar, Bubble Lugosi bubble bar and Henny Penny bubble bar just to name a few.

Some of the ingredients listed for Turtle Power are, fine sea salt, organic illipe butter, fair trade organic mango butter, bamboo stem extract, murumuru butter, extra virgin coconut oil, organic shea butter, cream of tartar, kokum butter, organic jojoba oil, bergamot oil, olibanum oil and cornstarch.

The scent of Turtle Power is best described as sweet, fruity and a little woody. The blend of bergamot and frankincense is perfect if you need to wind down and chill out. I find it particularly effective when used just before bed. I always drop off a little easier after using a product with its scent.

The fine sea salt and bamboo stem extract are the magic ingredients that makes this body scrub such a good exfoliator and all of the butters and the coconut oil are what makes it so hydrating.

I love a solid body scrub and Lush haven’t produced one as good as Turtle Power since the Cherryish body scrub. Turtle Power is not quite as gritty as Cherryish but absolutely amazing at both moisturising and exfoliating your skin at the same time.

I first tested it out on my arms; I put the writing side of it, skin-side-first and very quickly a green scrubby lather came about. On the other arm I did the purple side first and a purple scrubby lather came about even quicker. After trying it both ways, I recommend using it purple side first as I feel as if the side with the writing on was maybe added to make it a little easier to grip.

I always really go to town with solid body scrubs and have used it twice now for all over my body, it’s a little smaller in size but still in one piece. I can see it lasting me a good few showers yet.

Overall, I LOVED the Turtle Power body scrub, I’d have maybe liked the scent to be a little stronger but other than that it’s a very good scrub!

Peace, Love and Pizza Bath Bomb from Lush

Lush’s latest collaboration with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out at the start of July 2024 and has been flying off the shelves.

The limited edition TMNT x Lush collaboration included a TMNT themed Lush Kitchen Subscription Box and also a collection of online and in store products too.

Today I’ll be reviewing the Peace, Love and Pizza Bath Bomb that is a part of the in store and online items.

I was lucky enough to receive a Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb in a surprise box sent from Lush. The excitement of receiving a PR package from Lush never gets old, I am so very grateful every time, thank you, Lush!


The Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb is made in the shape of a slice of pizza. It is green, purple and has a yellow bath melt cheese and a red soap ‘soapperoni’ topping. If you’re lucky enough to live near a store then you’d have seen that the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bombs are all displayed in a TMNT pizza box too.

Each of the bath bombs are approximately 135g each so quite big. Each of the slices fits perfectly in my hand.

The Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb contains fairtrade organic mango butter, fresh garlic infusion, lemon grass oil, basil oil, oregano oil, benzoin resinoid, tonka absolute, vanilla absolute, rapeseed oil, coconut oil, cupuaçu butter, organic illipe butter, extra virgin coconut oil, glycerine and paprika oleoresin.

On paper, it doesn’t sound like something you’d want to really bathe in, but it smells lovely. It’s a very loose version of the smell of pizza, you get herbal vibes but also fruity notes too. Pineapple apparently belongs on TMNT pizza!

As the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb comes in to contact with your bath water there is a huge hiss as green foam starts to ooze out of it. After a minute, purple streaks come out of it too. The foam then starts to thin out, slowly turning your bath water green.

The bath bombs scent isn’t at all in-your-face or overpowering, it’s sweet and gentle. When I first read the list of this bath bombs ingredients, I wasn’t sure that I’d like it as a cosmetic product at all, garlic? basil? oregano? It however all strangely works.

Lush are forever proving me wrong. It just goes to show that simply listing an items ingredients list, doesn’t ever completely describe the final scent of a Lush product.

After about six or seven minutes the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb is completely taken over by the water.

It didn’t create very much bath art but the red ‘soapperoni’ part had me very entertained. I grabbed it to lather it up and it looked like I had smeared myself in the blood of my enemies, I didn’t include a photo in this review but if you want to see it, drop me a message…

Fortunately, the red came off as soon as I placed my hands back into the water. My favourite thing about the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb however has to be how it left my skin feeling. 

My skin has never felt so soft after such a short soak. It seems as if Lush got the bath bomb and melt ratio perfect in the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb.

Overall, I loved the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb. I said earlier that I wasn’t expecting to like it much as the ingredient list was a little crazy, but it was lovely and is a good example of why I like to try every product at least once!

Krang Shower Jelly from Lush

The Krang Shower Jelly is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s TMNT x LUSH collaboration.

The collaboration has included a TMNT themed Lush Kitchen Subscription Box and also a collection of online and in store products too.

The Krang shower jelly is from the online and in store collection. I was lucky enough to be sent a tin with him in, thank you again, Lush!

Krang is a supervillain in the world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and what a scary looking supervillain he is. He’s a brain, with a face and has weird wormy bits which I think could be arms? I am just as terrified of him now as I was as a kid. Too terrified to even do a little research on him… Sorry!

I don’t think I was even this freaked out by a product when I had to review the Tarantula shower jelly a few years ago.

Yes, the Krang shower jelly is very scary looking but he smells delicious, so it didn’t take much convincing for me to share a shower with him!

The Krang shower jelly is the exact same product as the Conga shower jelly. It is just Krang shaped. It’s even the same light pink colour. Each of the Krang shower jellies are 150g each and strangely come in a tin.

Every other shower jelly I have ever got from Lush have been in the plastic pots so having it in a tin is a bit of a novelty, the tin has amazing art work on it too so I’ll definitely be keeping it.

The Krang shower jelly contains glycerine, Irish moss infusion, carrageenan extract, bergamot oil, davana oil, almond essential oil and vanilla absolute. Its scent reminds me of raspberries, it’s fruity and sweet with a sour twist.

With Krang being a novelty shaped shower jelly, I wondered how long it would last as unfortunately I find more often than not, that the novelty shaped jellies aren’t always as sturdy and robust as the normal, pot-shaped-ones.

As predicted, the Krang shower jelly did get a little flimsy after just a few uses. However, I’d rather use it and lose it than not use it at all. So far, I’ve used it 3 times and although it is showing a small amount of wear and tear, there’s plenty more of it to go around yet.

There is no right or wrong way to use a shower jelly, I prefer to use mine in the same way as you would a bar of soap, whole. Some people however chop their shower jellies up using a few pieces at a time, this is a good method if you’re sharing it with someone else.

If you do keep it whole, the Krang shower jelly is big enough to fit in your hand. Once you’ve used it simply rinse it off and then pop it back into the pot and put the lid back on.

The Krang shower jelly lathers up quickly so you’re not stuck lathering it in your hands for ages, I find this a real positive for shower jellies as they can be a little slippery.

I can see it lasting me maybe 6 or 7 more showers, potentially more. Although, I’m not sure for how much longer it will stay whole.

After using the Krang shower jelly my skin feels soft, clean, and completely refreshed. I also found the scent remained on my skin for a good few hours after using it although, it’s faint.

Once I got over my fear of ‘the brain with a face’ I had the shower of a lifetime with Krang. Overall, it is a very good product that fits into the TMNT world perfectly!
