Snuggles Shower Gel from Lush

The Snuggles Shower Gel started off its Lush life as a product from the 2024 Mother’s Day line and upon its release will be available in 3 different sized bottles, 115g, 275g and 550g.

I was lucky enough to get to try the Snuggles shower gel before its initial release as Lush gifted me a bottle, it’s set to be available in all UK stores from the 1st of February.

The Snuggles shower gel is described as a comforting, buttery cuddle. If you’ve used the Butterball bath bomb, you’ll recognise its scent straight away.

Snuggles isn’t the first Butterball scented shower gel to be released, the original was called Butterball shower gel. It was popular but incredibly thick making it hard to get out of the bottle.

Snuggles shower gel has the same great scent as the Butterball shower gel but has a brand new ‘cocoa butter suspension formulation’. The formula is a lot thinner; it could easily be a body milk.

Snuggles shower gel contains fine sea salt, fair trade organic cocoa butter and Ghanaian ylang ylang oil. It is sweet but not in an unpleasant way, it reminds me of vanilla ice cream but also has elements of chocolate to its scent too.

A very small amount of Snuggles goes a long way, I have even tried it without wetting my hands first just to get a feel of its true consistency; There has never been a creamier shower gel from Lush, without water it was like I was lathering up a heavy duty moisturiser.

Just a splash of warm water helps to really lather the Snuggles shower gel up, it glides over your skin leaving it clean, hydrated and so very soft.

I could see the Snuggles shower gel being perfect for anyone with sensitive skin but always recommend a patch test before use.

Its scent really shines through when combined with the hot water and steam from your shower and it feels incredible lathered up on your skin.

There is no need at all to moisturise after using this shower gel, making it not only an amazing smelling shower gel but also a product that saves you much needed time as well.

I can still smell the Butterball scent on my skin long after getting out of the shower, my skin feels soft and appears perfectly hydrated well into the next day too.

If you are looking for a creamier shower gel that not only cleans but hydrates and soothes skin too, look no further.

Overall, I am very impressed with the Snuggles shower gel and plan on grabbing a few more bottles before Mother’s Day is through. Lush would be mad to not make this shower gel a main line product. I have my fingers crossed that they do as it’s wonderful!

Wild Violet Co-Mingle Body Scrub from Lush

The first Co-Mingle body scrub was released back in 2022. Lush have since released several more; Sticky Dates Co-Mingle, Tropical Co-Mingle and now the subject of this review, the Wild Violet Co-Mingle Body Scrub!

The Wild Violet Co-Mingle body scrub is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Mother’s Day line. I was lucky enough to get to try it before its initial release as Lush gifted me a pot, it’s set to be available in all UK stores from the 1st of February.

The Wild Violet Co-Mingle body scrub is described by Lush as ‘wild and beautiful, sweet and soft.’ Using it buffs, cleanses, and moisturises your skin all at the same time.

After the success of both the original Co-Mingle and Sticky Dates Co-Mingle, I was eager to give the Wild Violet Co-Mingle body scrub a go.

With the Wild Violet Co-Mingle body scrub being a three-in-one product it has a lot of ingredients in it; the scrubby element of it comes from the tagua nut powder.

Alongside the tagua nut powder, the Wild Violet Co-Mingle also contains sweet violet leaf infusion, spring water, almond oil, Brazil nut oil, ground white rice, ylang ylang flower infusion, fair trade shea butter, argan oil, cupuacu butter and rosewood oil.

The Wild Violet Co-Mingle body scrub shares its scent with the Ultraviolet bubble bar which happens to be one of my favourites.

The best way I can describe its scent is as a really intense violet, I can’t often tell the difference between Lush’s violet-based scent families but this one is a very natural floral, it smells very green and always leaves me feeling fresher.

Consistency-wise, the Wild Violet Co-Mingle body scrub is probably the loosest of the Co-Mingles that Lush have created so far. I’d describe it as being like a very milky porridge.

A very small amount of the Wild Violet Co-Mingle body scrub goes a long way BUT it smells so good that I always end up taking an extra scoop out just because I can!

To use, all you need is about 3 fingers worth and that easily does your whole body. I wouldn’t say that the Wild Violet Co-Mingle was a very harsh body scrub, if anything it is more of a skin buffer than exfoliator. It almost thickens into something creamier as you lather it in.

The formula is super nourishing for your skin. Even though it’s a very gentle body scrub, it does buff away dirt and dead skin well leaving skin that appears brighter behind.

It really is a three-in-one product too, it scrubs (albeit very gently) washes and moisturises your skin perfectly, there’s no need for a shower gel or body lotion after using it.

Overall, I love the Wild Violet Co-Mingle body scrub, I do prefer something a bit scrubbier when I’m in need of a good exfoliation but this one I am more than happy to use as a gentle in-between.

Time to Relax Bath Bomb from Lush

The Time to Relax Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Mother’s Day line.

Time to Relax is not the average type bath bomb, it has been specifically designed so that it can be used over 3 baths, although most people (including myself) use it all in one, as it makes one truly epic bath!

The Time to Relax bath bomb is 3 different products in 1, the photo above is all of the bath bomb pieced together. The photos below show the bath bomb with its lid off, inside of it are red bath salts.

As I said earlier, I used all 3 parts of this product in one bath starting with tipping the red bath salt into the bath water as the bath was filling up.

I was really surprised at how quickly the red bath salt changed the colour of the water, the water very quickly turns a light shade of pink and a few bubbles are created too. The salt is mixed with little pieces of what looks like the strands that Lush make into their shampoo bars.

The bath salt not only turned the bath water light pink, it also left the bath water so incredibly soft.

Next, I placed the bath bomb back together again before putting the Time to Relax bath bomb into the water.

Upon putting it in to the water you are greeted with a burst of light blue foam. As the lighter blue part of the Time to Relax bath bomb is hollow it doesn’t take long for the darker blue lid-part of the bath bomb to come into contact with the water too.

Blue, dark purple, violet and pink foam slowly starts to create swirling patterns on the water’s surface, I wasn’t expecting so many colours at all, my photos in this review do the bath bomb no justice at all.

After about 5 minutes, all of the Time to Relax bath bomb has fully dissolved, and you are left with slightly purple tinged, dark blue coloured bath water.

Now that I have talked through how I personally used the Time to Relax bath bomb let’s get into its scent.

The Time to Relax bath bomb shares its scent with the Deep Sleep bath bomb. Its scent is both soothing and relaxing, this bath bomb really does live up to its name.

The Time to Relax bath bomb contains Epsom salts, lavender absolute and the following essential oils, lavender, chamomile blue and neroli. Scent-wise my nose mostly picks up on the lavender. It’s a very sweet and herbal scent.

As I said earlier, the Time to Relax bath bomb takes approximately 5 minutes to fully dissolve, bath salts included. Other Lush bath bombs that include sea salt such as the Geo Phyzz bath bomb have much bigger chunks of salt in them so can scratch your bottom when you first get in your bath.

Time to Relax bath bombs salt is a lot more gentle as it is Epsom salt, it seems to dissolve into your bath water long before you’ve even had a chance to check if any remnants of it still remain. 

Laying back in the bath water left behind by the Time to Relax bath bomb is a true escape from the stresses of real life. It really does give you the chance to put some time aside just to relax.

The bath water is silky smooth, and my skin laps it up, upon getting out of the bath my skin feels and looks hydrated. The relaxing scent lasts on my skin for a good few hours after getting out of the bath too.

Overall, I really enjoyed some much needed me-time made even more enjoyable thanks to the Time to Relax bath bomb. I hope to see more Epsom salt-based products in Lush’s future!
