Super Milk Shower Gel from Lush

The Super Milk Shower Gel is one of six that Lush are releasing a limited amount of on the Lush app on 26th of June 2024. They will also be available in selected Lush flagship stores.

I was lucky enough to get the Super Milk shower gel early as Lush gifted me a bottle of it, along with a bottle of the Guardian of the Forest shower gel too.

The Super Milk shower gel is a creamy white colour and has a slightly runny consistency, I recommend giving it a shake before using it as I find this helps thicken it up a little.

The Super Milk shower gel contains almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, fine sea salt, litsea cubeba oil, tonka absolute, vanilla absolute, fresh lemon juice and bucketloads of glycerine making it incredibly moisturising.

Its scent is best described as sherbet like, it also has noticeable layers of sweet vanilla and tonka, when sniffing it straight from the bottle it reminds me of fizzy sweets.

I haven’t reviewed any of the other Super Milk scented products yet but promise to do one on the perfume equivalent soon. The first product that came out with its scent was actually a hair conditioning spray. A few years ago the conditioning spray went viral on TikTok and now here we are with a shower gel equivalent!

The Super Milk shower gel lathers up easily and because it’s not very thick a small amount of it goes a long way.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really comes to life. I admit I found myself using a little more of the shower gel than necessary just because it felt so nice on my skin.

Once out of the shower the Super Milk scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day, although it is not as strong on your skin it is still very noticeable.

I had used it in the early afternoon and my husband could smell it on me when he got home from work at about 7pm.

Overall, I LOVE the Super Milk shower gel, I hope Lush decide to rerelease it as a part of their all year-round range eventually as its scent is to die for. It’s my favourite Super Milk scented product so far.

My favourite thing about it is how it leaves your skin feeling. The trio of plant-based milks included in the Super Milk shower gel really go to town on skin hydration, there’s no need to moisturise after using it.

It isn’t at all oily either. soaking right into your skin leaving it looking its best. I will be using this shower gel a lot over the next few weeks with the hot weather finally arriving in the UK, I suspect it would be especially good to use in colder months too, my skin is always a little dryer come Wintertime.

Magic Bus Bath Bomb from Lush

The Magic Bus Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection. It’s designed in the shape of a bright yellow bus and is decorated with a row of multicoloured candy-flower shaped pieces.

Many customers have compared the design of the Magic Bus bath bomb to the bus that featured in the CBBC program Playdays many years ago, others have said the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo.

When I first see the Magic Bus, I thought of it as a bit of a novelty bath bomb. Compared to the likes of the other bath bombs in the same range such as, Time of the Season, Thermal Waves and Passion bath bombs it just doesn’t demand the same amount of immediate attention as those, but despite this, it has sold well.

Its lower price has certainly helped it become one of the most popular from the World Bath Bomb Day collection, but with its candy decorations, it does have a certain extra charm to it upon second look.

The Magic Bus bath bomb contains Brazilian orange oil, coriander seed oil, lemongrass oil and argan oil. The Magic Bus bath bomb shares its scent with the Big Calm shower jelly and current Liverpool store exclusive, the Yellow Submarine bath bomb.

If you’ve been a Lush customer for some time, you’ll know that the scent family that the Magic Bus bath bomb is from, is called Big Calm.

If year-round-sunshine had a scent, it would smell just like Big Calm. For me, it smells just like a tall glass of piña colada, it is a very popular scent all year through but with its cocktail fragrance I find myself craving it more in the Summer months.

Each Magic Bus bath bomb is approximately 105g each making it one of the smallest bath bombs currently available from Lush, BUT if there’s one thing that Lush has taught me over the years, it is that size doesn’t dictate a products quality.

As soon as the Magic Bus bath bomb meets your bath water it begins to fizzle away. It’s not a particularly foamy bath bomb but spits out lots of yellow.

The multicoloured candy flower-shaped pieces fall out quite early on, sinking to the bottom of the bath. The bath bomb part however stays afloat, zooming around your bath like a mini speed boat.

The Magic Bus bath bomb dissolves quite quickly. Although, for its size I expected it to be a lot quicker than just over four minutes!

It doesn’t produce any bath art, but it does create bright yellow bath water. The piña colada scent remains in your bathroom right up until the last drop of bath water drains away. The scent also remains on your skin for a good few hours after using it too although, a lot more subtle.

Once out of the bath, my skin felt hydrated and fresh. I’m glad Lush decided to bring this scent back as it’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to use it, my only complaint is that it’s made me really want to go on a beach holiday!

Temple of Truth Bubble Bar from Lush

At the time of writing this review, the Temple of Truth Bubble Bar was last available in June 2024’s Lush Kitchen subscription box. Before that, I believe it was first released in 2006 and has made a number of appearances on and off since.

The Temple of Truth is a darker blue, cone shaped bubble bar. Colour wise, it’s a very close match to the shade of blue used in the Intergalactic bubble bar and has a similar shape to the Cyclops bubble bar; The Temple of Truth however has a much more relaxed cone shape, its point isn’t as pointy and precise.

With it being all one colour, it isn’t the most exciting looks wise and is on the smaller size too BUT I never like to judge a Lush product before using it.


Each Temple of Truth bubble bar contains some of the following ingredients: guaiac wood oil, ho wood oil and sandalwood oil.

Although the Temple of Truth bubble bar is one of Lush’s older products, as far as I am aware its scent has only ever been used in this bubble bar.

Its scent is gentle but has plenty of layers which I will attempt to put into words…

It’s earthy, woody, floral and a little musky. Being honest, it’s not a scent I would usually go for but it came in the Lush Kitchen subscription box, so I decided to give it a try.

To use the Temple of Truth bubble bar, I broke it up then put all of the pieces of it into a sieve. I then let the running water trickle over it.

I find this sieve method, the most effective way to use Lush’s single use bubble bars. It is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted.

Through trial and error, I have found that using bubble bars like this makes the most bubbles too.

Normally with bubble bars I like to spread them out over several baths but with the Temple of Truth bubble bar being so small I decided to use the whole thing in one bath, something I do not regret.

The blanket of fluffy white bubbles starts to grow as soon as you place the broken-up pieces of the Temple of Truth Bubble Bar under the running tap. Underneath the fast-building blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns a deep shade of blue.

Once in the bath, I couldn’t help but notice how soft the water was. There were so many bubbles that it took me a lot of swishing them away to actually get visuals of the water.

Once out of the bath, its scent although very subtle, lasted on my skin for a good-few-hours. I felt relaxed and ready for bed.

Overall, I did like the Temple of Truth bubble bar, the colour of blue it turns the water is such an inviting blue, but it isn’t a bubble bar I’m desperate to use again, it wasn’t at all unpleasant I just prefer fruitier Lush fragrances.
