Posh White Chocolate and Rose Body Wash from Lush

The Posh White Chocolate and Rose Body Wash was first released by Lush as a part of their 2024 Valentine’s Day line. It seems to be a loved-up sibling of the current staple-store-product, Posh Chocolate body wash.

Posh White Chocolate comes in both a 100g pot and 225g pot. I always recommend getting the bigger pot for products like these as you are guaranteed to want more once you start using it. The last smaller potted product that I got from Lush was the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub, I got through it so quickly, I can only hope Lush bring it back so I can get it again in a much bigger pot.

The Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash contains fair-trade organic aloe vera gel, rose water, coconut milk powder, Australian sandalwood oil, vanilla absolute, rose oil, fair-trade Colombian cocoa butter, and rose bud heads for decoration.

Fresh from the pot the Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash smells just like chocolate but with a rose water twist.

In the photo above you can see the gold sprayed rose buds that decorate the top of the Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash. Before I used this body wash I took them out and put them to one side. As I said earlier, I believe they are purely decorational but I saved mine to use in a later bath, the buds used this way remind me of the the Tisty Tosty bath bomb!

The Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash’s consistency is a lot creamier than the Posh Chocolate body wash that I mentioned earlier. Posh Chocolate is a lot like butter icing, but Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash is more like a thick body lotion.

It’s a very light cream but lathers up quickly and with minimum effort, it almost feels like it melts into your skin as you spread it over yourself.

With it being such a creamy consistency, I was unsure at first on how much of the product I needed to use per shower. My main worry was that using too much would leave my skin feeling oily BUT as soon as I used the White Chocolate and Rose body wash, I noticed that it seemed to soak right in, gliding onto my skin like butter on hot toast.

A small amount of the White Chocolate and Rose body wash goes a very long way. A blob that is about the same size as a two-pound coin is probably a lot more than you need for your whole body making the Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash excellent value for money.

I love that there’s no need to use a shower gel after using it, it’s the perfect mix of a shower wash and skin conditioner.

During use, the scent of the rose water and oil in the body wash comes through much stronger when mixed with the steam and hot water from the shower.

The White Chocolate and Rose body wash is incredibly nourishing for your skin. Once you’ve lathered it up and washed your body with it, simply rinse it off just as you would a shower gel.

Its scent stays on your skin for about an hour after you have used it and your skin stays hydrated and smooth right up until your next shower, there is no need to use a body lotion afterwards making the White Chocolate and Rose body wash a time saving product too!

Overall, I adore the Posh White Chocolate and Rose body wash, I love the scent, the blend of chocolate and roses really fits in with the whole theme of Valentine’s Day. I also love how it feels lathering it up on my skin and how gentle a formula it is too.

Ochre Bath Bomb from Lush

Previously known as the Uluru bath bomb The newly named Ochre Bath Bomb is an orange and dusky pink bath bomb designed in a very similar way to the Frozen bath bomb.

It is mostly orange but has a dusky pink belt around its middle (the same way that the Frozen bath bomb is mostly light blue with a dark blue belt.)

The colours of this bath bomb have been very cleverly selected for showcasing a kaleidoscope of Australian sunset colours; Oranges, yellows, pinks, and corals.

The Ochre bath bomb has a wonderful mix of summery ingredients, Brazilian orange, sandalwood, and lemon myrtle oils to name just a few. Scent wise the Ochre bath bomb is quite literally Summer in bath bomb form. It is perfect for anyone missing the sunshine, especially at this time of year.

At the time of writing this review, the Ochre bath bomb last appeared in January 2024’s ‘Rise & Shine’ Lush Kitchen subscription box BUT under its old name, it used to feature on the weekly Lush Kitchen menu quite regularly.

The Ochre bath bomb is a gloriously rich, citrus-scented product. If you have read any of my previous Lush reviews, you’ll know that I tend to favour the citrus products as I feel they are an easy way to add a spring to your step.

The Ochre bath bomb on its scent alone is a citrus fans dream product and once it gets plonked into your bath water the scent just gets better and better!

The Ochre bath bomb isn’t great bath art wise BUT what it lacks in bath art, it well makes up for with its zingy scent.

Once placed in the water the Ochre bath bombs scent totally dominates the bathroom and leaves you feeling refreshed and content.

Packed with a shed load of coarse-sea-salt, the Ochre bath bomb is not only an excellent product for softening and hydrating your skin but also great for tired and sore muscles too.

The Ochre bath bomb is quite a fast fizzer which isn’t a negative, the fact it dissolves so quickly in the water means that I can lay back and relax a lot quicker than I can when using other bath bombs, it also means I get a little longer to soak in the beautiful Ochre bath water too.

Up against its shower gel equivalent the Uluru shower gel, the Ochre bath bomb is far more moisturising for your skin; Both leave your skin appearing brighter and feeling softer but the bath bomb is definitely the better option for dehydrated skin.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Ochre bath bomb, I was a little disappointed with the lack of bath art it created but its scent and how it makes my skin feel after using it well makes up for there not being any.

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!
