Elphaba Thropp Body Spray from Lush

Lush have collaborated with what is unarguably the must see film of the year, Wicked.

With its impending cinema release, Lush have created a Wicked X Lush range, to die for!

Each product within this carefully crafted collection oozes all-things-Oz and showcases some very unusual yet beautifully harmonious ingredient blends that shouldn’t work together, but somehow do.

With several of the products also having brand new fragrances I have my reviewing-work cut out. Today I will be reviewing the Elphaba Thropp Body Spray.

The Elphaba Thropp body spray comes in the most unbelievably beautiful packaging. The spray bottles are still the traditional Lush black, but their labels are in Wicked inspired colours! Elphaba Thropp’s label is of course bright green, just like Elphaba and has a shiny green silhouette of Elphaba in the centre of its label.

Ingredients wise, the Elphaba Thropp body spray contains hiba wood oil, cedarwood absolute, vanilla absolute, Sicilian lemon oil, pink pepper oil and cardamom absolute.

As Lush fragrances go, I don’t think there has ever been a body spray as strongly scented as Elphaba Thropp. I haven’t come across any other body spray or perfume from Lush with its same staying power. I am always hesitant to use too much of a new Lush body spray/perfume as I am easily overwhelmed…

Because of this, the first time that I wore Elphaba Thropp I hardly sprayed any on me at all. It was one cowardly half squirt, but that was enough. Four days later I could still smell the body spray on my cars seat belt which, kind of blows my mind as the one half-hearted squirt of it that I sprayed was on my jumper, not the seat belt!

The Elphaba Thropp scent makes a bold and invigorating first impression. It is sweet, comforting but unmistakably led by its pink pepper oil ingredient, the vanilla in it is also very prominent. As the fragrance settles the woodiness of the body spray starts to come through.

It’s not only one of the longest-lasting body sprays that I’ve ever owned from Lush, but also one of the most complex scents from Lush too.

The beautifully designed labels on the Wicked X Lush body sprays will definitely pull in the customers, it did me! I never usually blind buy body sprays, but I couldn’t resist when I saw them in this incredible and magical Oz collection.

The Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb that is also a part of the Wicked X Lush collection is said to be a blend of both of the Wicked body sprays combined.

I personally would never have guessed this, I cannot smell the Elphaba Thropp fragrance in the Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb at all, which really confuses me considering Elphaba Thropp is the strongest scent I have ever come across from Lush?!!

I understand this makes little sense, BUT the bath bomb just smells so different I’d never have known it had Elphaba Thropp in if I hadn’t been told.

Overall, I really like the Elphaba Thropp body spray, it is a little intense scent-strength-wise for me which is why I have said like and not love. One gentle spritz of Elphaba Thropp is more than enough per wear, with it lasting on fabric for 4 plus days it feels like quite a commitment! Never have I smelt a Lush product as powerful as this body spray!

Pink Fizzes Good With Green Bath Bomb from Lush

As a huge fan of all things pink, the Pink Fizzes Good With Green Bath Bomb was the first product from the Wicked X Lush collaboration that caught my attention. I was lucky enough to receive one as a gift from Lush too.

With the highly anticipated release of the film Wicked, Lush have created a new range, jam packed with Oz inspired wonders…

Each product within the collection oozes of all things Oz and showcases some very unusual yet beautifully harmonious ingredient blends that shouldn’t work together, but somehow do… No other Lush collection has ever smelt so good.

The Pink Fizzes Good With Green Bath Bomb is mostly bright pink but has green and yellow salt crystals decorating it in a very similar way to the Mercury in Retrograde bath bomb. Think of it as a salt crystal helter-skelter that goes around the outside of the bath bomb.

Lush’s idea behind it was a story of two halves, Elphaba meets Glinda!

The Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb is the same size as the majority of Lush’s circular bath bombs fitting perfectly in my hand.

Some of the ingredients included in the Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb are coarse sea salt, orris oil, rose oil, almond essential oil, cedarwood absolute, sesame seed absolute and vanilla absolute.

The Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb has a lot of ingredients which gives it a very complex fragrance. Describing scents is not one of my talents so I always get a little anxious when a Lush fragrance like this comes along…

You may be surprised to hear that this bath bombs scent is actually a mixture of two new Lush perfumes, I am led to believe it is a blend of the two new Wicked X Lush body sprays (that I will be reviewing separately very soon!)

Pink Fizzes Good With Greens scent has floral, woody and vanilla tones, it’s a very intense fragrance so better suited to customers that like scents that pack a punch.

As soon as the Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb touches the water it begins to fizz away, at first the only colour that seems to come out of the bath bomb is bright pink, as it dissolves you can hear the salt crystals slowly fall to the bottom of your bath starting to soften the bath water almost immediately.

After about a minute orange foam begins to spill out of the Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb too and then shortly after that, purple streaks too. The most dominant of the colours throughout is however the bright pink.

The photos in this review do the bath bomb no justice at all; The warming orange, purple and pink swirls created by the bath bomb were gorgeous. 

I always find that bath art created by the bath bombs that have extra amounts of salt in like Pink Fizzes Good With Green, disappear a lot quicker than other bath bombs which is why I didn’t get any photos. You have to use Pink Fizzes Good With Green to truly appreciate it!

The Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb took just under ten minutes to fully dissolve, leaving behind silky soft, cloudy peach coloured bath water. To look at, it reminds me of fruit-and-barley summer fruits squash.

After leaving the bath, my skin felt smooth, appeared brighter and I could still smell it on my skin by the time I got in to bed. I’d used it quite early in the morning so for it to last so long shows just how strong a scent the Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb has.

I found this bath bomb incredibly hydrating; My skin always feels so soothed and smooth when a bath bomb contains a generous helping of salt like the Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb does.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed using the Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb. I was surprised at just how much I did like it as I don’t always get on with the stronger Lush scents but the Pink Fizzes Good With Green bath bomb was beautiful in every ‘witch’ way!

Green Shower Elixir Shower Gel from Lush

The Green Shower Elixir Shower Gel is the first of the Wicked X Lush collaboration products that I will be reviewing for you. I was lucky enough to receive a bottle of it as a gift from Lush.

With the highly anticipated release of the film Wicked, Lush have created a new range, jam packed with Land-of-Oz inspired wonders.

Each product within the collection oozes the magic of Oz, showcasing some very unusual yet beautifully harmonious ingredient blends that shouldn’t work together, but somehow do… No other Lush collection has ever smelt this good!

Everything about this shower gel screams Wicked. From the shade of green that it is, to its incredibly detailed label, you can tell just by looking at it that a lot of time and thought went into each and every aspect of it.

The Green Shower Elixir shower gel contains some of the following ingredients: willow herb decoction, glycerine, water, litsea cubeba oil, Brazilian orange oil and benzoin resinoid.

Its scent is brand new to Lush and is described by Lush as being, ‘an elixir so enchanting, it’ll have the whole of Oz ready to go green!’

I always struggle to describe scents but the first word that comes to mind when I give Green Shower Elixir a sniff is juicy. It reminds me of when you take the first bite of a melon, juicy, wet and refreshing. It’s crisp, fruity, moreish and smells just like I imagine a green magic potion to smell.

The Green Shower Elixir is a clear emerald-green coloured shower gel, it’s reasonably thick but comes out of the bottle easily.

A very small amount of the Green Shower Elixir shower gel goes a long way, It effortlessly lathers up into a smooth creamy paste, gently gliding over your skin leaving it softer, more hydrated and cleaner.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom, it reminds me of a big bowl of sliced up melon.

Once out of the shower the Green Shower Elixir’s scent remains on your skin for several hours. With it being quite a fruity fragrance, I am surprised at how long it lasts, normally fruity scents don’t have as much staying power but Green Shower Elixir’s scent lingers. With thanks to the glycerine in this shower gel, my skin has never felt softer or plumper.

Overall, the Green Shower Elixir is a wonderful shower gel, I hope that Lush decide to bring out more products in its scent, it would be a crime for Lush to not explore this delicious scent in other product formats!
