Yog Nog is an egg nog-like scent that has an added toasted caramel scent. Like creme brulee smells. Its so yummy that it fools you into thinking its edible. But its not.
My favorite of the bunch has to be the bubble bar. The perfume oil is the strongest.
Im glad i finally have enough things in this scent family to last me awhile. Perhaps ill sell a couple of them together.
This is a very popular set of products with Lushies. Lush has introduced it in one form or another every holiday season since 2013.
Lush has introduced ten bath melts/oils that can be hung as ornaments on a Christmas tree or can be used as tags on gifts, for Christmas 2018 as a limited edition product.
Snowman (lemon, lemon myrtle and mint)
Orange (cinnamon, orange, Hot Toddy)
Winter Night (Furze)
Merry Christmas (orange-Berry Berry Christmas shower gel scent)
Anise (Ginger-yuk)
Iron Harvest (lavender and oats, same scent as Dreamtime bath oil, et al)
Dragon’s Temple (Same as Delight bath oil, pepper, lime)
St Basil (Jungle)
Retro Tree (Floating island)
Amelie Kringle (Candy Fluff)
Each has its own fragrance and each are made with different ingredients, all are made with cocoa butter and murumuru butter.
some have scents that Lush has used in other products but most of their scents are new.
I bought all but one, the Hot Toddy one. That was sold out when i got to the site. However, i did buy a Hot Toddy one from a woman who lives in Germany. So eventually i’ll be able to add that one here too. Keep coming back to this page. 🙂
I’m going to use each of the nine different ones i bought and write a review, and record a short tub water demo video for each one, and i’ll add them to this page as i use them.
I’m going to use the best smelling one (in my opinion) first.
You simply place the bauble in an already filled tub and the hot water of the tub melts the bauble. Each one makes a different shade of water. Alternatively you can hold it under the water faucet of the tub. But many consider the ‘show’ that it puts on when it is placed in the already filled tub water part of the effect.
Winter Night
This particular bauble below, Winter Night’ melt is my favorite scent of the 10 different bauble melts that Lush has created as an exclusive in the Uk for Christmas 2018. Its the same coconutty scent as Furze bath oil and Furze perfume.
This orange and spice one has the same scent as Hot Toddy.
This one has the same scent as the Berry Berry Christmas.
The Dragon bath melt below has the same scent as the Lush ‘Delight’ bath oil, The Cyanide Pill bath bomb, Hands of Friendship soap, and 13 States bath bomb.
5 out of 5 rating.
Hulder is a scandinavian mythological creature. Its akin to a siren or a mermaid. It’s part animal part human.
check out my tub demo below of this glittery gorgeous bomb.
This is an exclusive bath bomb shown at the Lush uk Creative Showcase event in England September 23 & 24.
I took some video footage of hulder at the Lush showcase for you. I also recorded a tub demo video for you, And i also took photos of mine in the tub.
Lush also sold iron on patches of the exclusive bombs at the showcase event.
We were able to buy one only once per day and only for one hour when the magic bus opened. But first-One had to see the secret count down signs that were placed throughout the event to let us know when and where. It was a fun game.
Eventually these six exclusive bath bombs will only be sold in Lush Japan’s first all ‘naked’ Lush store, which is slated to open in 2019.
Hulder is my favorite of the six bombs bevause of the way it looks and the way it smells.
The scent is very different, in a good way. It smells floral and earthy with a big of greenery. Absolutely gorgeous. It smells both pretty and mysterious.
I didnt want to get out of the tub.
The bomb shows green and purple as it fizzes. Green and purple are my favorite color combination. My hair is dyed green and purple.
Im so so grateful that Jack Constantine gave me a random act of kindness.
On Instagram some lushies who like to do makeup looks have been creating makeup looks to match lush halloween products. So, since my daughter loves makeup, i had my daughter do a look for Hulder. 🙂
See my tub demo i recorded at the end of this review.
Here’s a pic i took of the tray full of Kitsune bath bombs for you.
Here’s a video below that i recorded of the tray of them at the Lush Creative Showcase in England.
Here’s a picture of mine.
see my tub demo i recorded for you below.
i like the theme of this Kitsume bath bomb. Kitsume means Fox in Japanese. I like what Kitsume signifies, and its cute, looking like a cross between a cat, a shell and a fox.
In some cultures in japan it is a fox spirit which has magical powers.
It has a very citrusy scent. not sweet in any way. it reminds me of the Lush cheer up buttercup bath bomb scent.
It makes the water a lovely peach color. And there is also a gold sparkle. not too much sparkle, it’s minimal.
This bomb fizzes very fast and furious. really fresh!
It doesn’t have skin moisturizing properties in it.
All in all i love this bomb. i would buy another one or two.
This is a face mask made as a limited edition for Christmas 2018.
Its made with cocoa, vanilla, tangerine, orange, carageenan, fullers earth, and rhassoul mud.
Both rhasshoul mud and fullers earth are fantastic at zapoing oil on the skin.
I have dry skin, and it zapped any spec of oil i had on my skin.
The texture is nice and silky. It feels like pudding. Not like the more chunky texture of the Lush bio fresh face masks they sell in store.
This is like the texture of lush birth of venus face mask.
Oh, also, the red nose looks like half a cherry but is actually the same mixture as the mask. Cool!
This smells mostly of chocolate. Its like wiping brownie batter on ones face, but in the best possible way.
The carageenan made my skin noticeable softer. That was a wow.
The only teason i didnt rate this a 5 is because its not the proper one for my skin type. If you have oilier skin im sure you’ll find this a 5 out of 5 star rated product.
Mark Constantine Creator of Lush Incorporated from Lush invited me to England on a trip to see the Creative Showcase!
I was treated like a queen. I’m pinching myself because it seems like a dream.
I’ve recorded the below video Showcase for you
I’ll add other info, pics and videos of the products as I do every year.
I’ll be attending with my husband and ive spoken to all the other Bloggers who will be attending also. I dont know which is more exciting; being in another country, seeing my fellow Bloggers who i speak to everyday but have never been in the same room with, or being at the Lush Creative Showcase.
Lush will have all the Halloween and Christmas 2018 products as well as more exclusive products.
ill be filming (some live), vlogging, blogging my trip, from the airport to the last day. ill be buying every one of the products, and i will take photos and record tub videos of each of the items, and add them here to this blog while i’m there.
Where do I start? I know, how about YOG NOG bubble bar?!?!?!?!
Heavenly, slightly buttery sweet, slightly dusted with Christmas spices.
I LIKE buttery.
*Cue fainting*
I love a spicy Christmas, a pink Christmas, a citrussy Christnas, or even a sweet Christmas. But Give me a Plum Christmas…or a Buttery Christmas ANY day.
Also, anything having the word ‘plum’ is already on my list to buy. I never NOT love anything Lush makes with plum in its name.
Maybe buttery plums.
Anyway, another item that’s got my eye is ‘Naughty Elf’. I’m hoping naughty elf has the Lush jilted elf jelly scent. It’s an odd, peppery little scent but I miss smelling it in the form of the Elf on a Shelf fun bar and the Jilted Elf jelly.
It looks like Candy Mountain bubble bar is coming back but apart from that there is a Shit load of NEW, or at least seemingly new products. I count 25. How about you? As LushLeaks states there may be more products than the ones listed, who knows.
Damnit, I want three to five of every bath bomb and bubble bar already! WHY do you DO this to me Lush!
I’m trying to get a sense on the theme this holiday… Its not ‘Space-y’ as last year’s theme. It’s not a particularly fruity theme at first glance, though the soaps have distinctly fruity qualities to their names certainly.
But I’m too distracted to think anymore about that because of the God Damn abundance of LIQUID shower gel goodness!!! Ahhhhhh!!! A Liquid Twilight/Sleepy shower CREME?! *Lip quivers* BUT…apparently we may also get Cinders shower gel! I love that spicy orange scent. While Cinders isn’t as spicy as Lush ‘Hot Toddy’ or ‘Glogg’, it is spicier than the usual orange scents, because of the addition of cinnamon. At least it used to have cinnamon. Lush has been changing their shower gel formulations so who knows.
It’s almost too good to be true.
It really does seem like they listened to all of us!
Additionally, I noticed a bomb called Puddy Holly. There WAS a Puddy Holly bath *bomb*, so I’m wondering if the bubble bar will be anything like it. It had a Snowcake-like scent with a little extra somethin somethin.
Kind of tired of the bubble spinners to be honest BUT…a Snowflake. I bet it’s absolutely gorgeous, all icing looking with sparkle.
Also, my Spidey senses tells me that many (not all) of these lovely, Yummy sounding soaps will all have new scents. Im wondering if Satsuma soap will be anything like their Satsuma bath bomb, which I LOVED.
And am I the only one who senses something else plum rain scented?
Dying to know what the two ‘gift bath bombs’ will be. I’m imagining actual bombs with some kind of gift shape?
Lastly, I always love the Lush bath melts and oils a LOT as some of you know so I can’t wait to try plum pudding bath melt.
£4.95/$6.49
This is not a returning product but is new.
This smells yummier than i thought it would. I thought it might be spicy like lush holly go lightly but Puddy Holly smells different, like a yummy almond and vanilla dessert.
Puddy Holly is made with Tonka. Tonks bean smells much like vanilla onky a bit carmely.
Its not a strong heavy scent but more of a medium light scent.
Its got conditioning cocoa butter sandwhiched in the middle, which is moisturizing to my uber dry skin.
I like the pretty emerald colored water it gives.
There is also a bit of silver sparkle. Not a large amount though, its every so slight.
I would buy another, but i wouldn’t stock up on them. Thats why i give this bubble bar a 4 out of 5 rating.
Description: Have a holly, jolly bathtime,
Almond oil sweetens your day!
Water a-glow with bubble mountains of snow
And soothing slicks of shea.
Have a holly, jolly bathtime
In a marzipan scented dream.
Soft cocoa butter on your toes,
And fifty shades of green.
Have a holly, jolly bathtime
Let bergamot give you cheer.
Oh by golly have a holly jolly bathtime
This year!
Here is a demo of it in the tub that i recorded for you

This is a gorgeous new soap for Christmas made in the Lush ‘Sex Bomb’ scent. The scent is made with jasmine, rose, clary sage, synthetic musk. this soap adds lingonberry to the mix however.
I took some video footage of it at the creative showcase
Lush gas made many products with this same scent. I took a photo below of them all, except one is missing. Anyway this is a floral scent. If you like flowers and other floral scents you would like this NPBLTTO soap.
One thing that i like about it is that the sexy scent stays on the skin even after rinsing, drying off. Hours later i get a slight whiff of it’s sexy perfume.
Its not sweet, its smells mostly like rose and clary sage to my nose, but each persons nose can pick out different notes as primary.
The scent was made to be sexy, and that it is.
I like that we can choose yellow or green. The large soap inthe shops looks aaesome, i took a photo of the North Polar Bear soap at the Lush Creative Showcase.
The product missing from my scent family photos below is ‘Sex n the Shower’ emotibomb.
Lush Description: My Dear Children,
It has been such a long time since I last wrote to you, I hope you are all doing well. Things at the North Pole have been a bit hectic again. We have had a few fairly peaceful years but I should have known that wouldn’t last. You remember my dear friend North Polar Bear and the mischief he would get up to? Well, he has gone and done something silly again. I’m getting too old for these things now.
I was taking a bath, usually it is North Polar Bear who takes baths but even I like them sometimes, as it had been a very busy and tiring week and my bones creak a little now you see and I find that the hot water helps immensely. I was soaking happily (my favourite soap is made with jasmine absolute and ylang ylang oil as it makes me feel happy and even Father Christmas deserves some floral sometimes), when all of a sudden a roaring, rushing sound surrounded my house and the sky lit up like a bonfire! I leapt from the bath in a such a hurry that I splashed the lingonberry infused water all over the floor and dashed out of the bathroom, nearly forgetting my towel in my haste!
As I went outside, it looked like the sky had been set on fire with swirling colours of blue and green and yellow and red and I knew just what had happened. North Polar Bear had left the tap on for the Northern Lights and let two years out in one go! He says it was an accident but I think he just wanted to cause a bit of mischief for old times’ sake. It’s set to be another couple of dark Christmases for us here at the North Pole thanks to him, but the candlelight is quite charming and comfortable really so I don’t mind too much. I rather missed his antics.
I hope you are doing very well. Sending my love to you all.
Yours always, Father Nicholas Christmas
This wonderful holiday limited edition soap for 2018 has the scent of ‘Yummy yummy yummy’ shower gel and ‘Peeping Santa’ bubble bar.
This is one of those soaps that is almost too cute to use.
That cocoa butter cream in the middle looks delicous.
I was wondering how it’s shape would be condusive to washing. However it was just a matter of holding it in more of a cupping fashion.
The scent is surprisingly and pkeasantly strong. Thank goodness.
It really is a more moisturizing soap because of the conditioning cocoa butter in the soap.
Its made with fresh strawberries, geranium, and frankincense. This gives it a fruity, sweet, but equally floral and resinous scent.
The combination is addictive.
I have used every Lush Yummy yummy yummy scented product that Lush has made in the past and this soap does not dissappoint.
Its not as sweet as say the ‘snow fairy’ soap but almost. Its one of the sweetest soaps this holiday.
This is a soap that smells so good, works so well at moisturizing, is cute, that i would have to buy 3-5 of these.
Here is a review i recorded of this soap
Description: The weather outside may be frightful but Christmas showers have never been so delightful. What better way to finish off a great feast than with a creamy dessert, sandwiched between a cocktail of fresh strawberry juice and uplifting bergamot oil. Not to be mistaken for food, take this soapy little fellow and lather up under sweet suds of calming olibanum oil and conditioning peach kernel oil. Santa’s wearing a new suit this year, it’s strawberry sweet and totally unique. Hold him upright in your hand and massage into your palm to build up a lather that Father Christmas would be proud of.
This has such a rich, luscious scent of vanilla and rich yumminess. Yog Nog is a great dessert-like Christmas scent. Its got lots of vanilla, ylang ylang, tonka. Its sweet, but not cloyingly so. Imagine Lush Butterball but with some clove and nutmeg and carmel notes thrown in, along with even more of an array of wonderful, skin softening ingredients.
This is quite possibly the best Lush bath product ive ever had the pleasure of using.
Im pretty sure having a romantic relationship with food…or bath products that look like food…is weird.
I love this bar so much. I wish i could hug it.
Thank you Lush for having a stroke of genius.
I’m not ashamed to say that saved a fair sized chunk of this bubble bar to rub on my arms legs and face.
Yes, i know we’re not supposed to use a bubble bar this way. I just couldnt help it, its THAT good.
Rest assured though-it was worth it.
The water is so moisturizing with this bubble bar that it’s harder to get quite the ‘loft’ of bubbles like the usual lush bubble bars bring. The extra decadence is worth the loss of bubbles trust me.
I would rate this one of those rare products that is above a 5 out of 5 rating.
I would say this has the potential for being a classic, like Snowcake or Luxury Lush Pud.
*Stares at any potential readers from Lush Inc in a pleading way*
I will definitely buy 5-10 of these.
Here is my 3 minute tub demo video below.
So you’ve had your fill of Christmas dinner, you’ve drunk all the mulled wine you can hold and you’re stuffed to the brim with mince pies… So what do you say when someone offers you a sweet treat filled with warming cinnamon and nutmeg powders, softening soya milk and moreish cocoa butter? Say yes of course! There is always room for more pudding and this skin softening dessert is worth the extra indulgence. Crumble this bubbly Battenburg under running water to release tempting mounds of fluffy foam. Climb in and let the Fair Trade shea butter soften skin as clove bud oil warms you from top to toe. A final flourish of uplifting ylang ylang oil encourages positivity and ensures that even the terrible Christmas cracker jokes don’t turn you into a Scrooge.
This year, 2021, Candy Cane has a new scent. Peppermint! Also, in past years it has been red and white. This year it’s pink and white.
2017-2020
3 out of 5 rating
£3.95 (converted to $5.13)
I like this new Candy Cane reusable bubble bar. For a reusable bubble bar its nice. Its harder for me to like the reusable kind for whatever reason. I guess its the softer texture i like. But like i said i make an exception for this one because of the way it looks. A perfect candy cane. Spot on. You can even hang it on the tree as an ornament.
Makes a cute stocking stuffer for Christmas.
I like the surprising fruity scent. Lush says its a new scent. The ingredients say its made with l lemon and bergamot.
For whstever reason i smell cherries, and im not complaining. I like this smell.
The color of the water is kind of a peach color.
This makes lots of bubbles! And as you can see from my video i had an entire bar left! More than enough for a second bath! Possibly a third.
While i like this i might buy one other but Im not sure what im looking for as far as bumping this to a higher rating. I guess because i like the bath bombs more than the bubble bars, and i like the reusables even less. Like i say its a 3 rating so that means i would indeed recommend it, its just not high up on the list of lush Christmas 2018 products. There are plenty of products for Christmas this year from Lush that i like more.
If it was not reusable but had the same shape, and had white and red sparkles on it and had mint along with the cherry, that would bump it up to a 4 or 5.
Here is a 2 minute tub demo i recorded for you of the Candy Cane reusable bubble bar.
Lush description: What’s red and white and can be used over and over? A decoration for the tree or a cheeky stocking filler, the possibilities are endless when you take a trip down candy lane. Hang out with this double stripe of bergamot and Sicilian lemon oils to lift the mood and create a fruity fresh fragrance that will have you bathing time and time again. Hold under the running water to froth up mounds of fluffy bubbles before placing on the side to dry, ready for your next trip to candyland.
Dont look now but Lush has actually made a minty bath product.
This doesnt happen very often.
This two piece Snowman Bomb bomb is two baths worth if you want to use each of the two pieces for one bath, or you can use both pieces in one go!
It’s made with spearmint in particular. I was wary of this bomb because Sometimes mint can irritate my skin or make it red. I needn’t have worried though becaise i experienced nothing but loveliness, no irritation.
Its not got any eucalyptus in it like Outback mate or christingle.
Its a fast fizzer, fizzes away very quickly but its a big bomb so it takes a little while. I ised both pieces for my bath and this demo.
Its purple. Its cute. It smells like plums. It moisturizes my dry skin.
I am so enamored with this scrub. To put all your questions to rest. No. When i asked about the scent of the scrub the first time, someone thought i meant the lushlabs scrub i was holding in my other hand, so they told me plum rain, which it is. But THIS scrub here, which is what i was asking about, is NOT plum rain, its sugar plum scented. So that’s where all the confusion came. I apologize. I’ll change it everywhere that i have this erroneous info. 👍😘❤️
Typically i dont like the non-potted scrubs from Lush because they seem to dry out too quickly, making it eventually too scratchy to use on my skin.
Not so with this scrub. Its got seemingly double the regular amount of cocoa butter than others of its kind, making it a bit wetter.
This isn’t too big nor too small, it seems like just the right size to be able to use it up without it sitting around gettibg dry and scratchy.
Initially the dark color was worrisome but i didnt have to worry about any staining. There was none to be had.
Its got coarser exfoliating grains of sugar.
Here’s a close up demo video and review i recorded for you of the sctub on my arm at tge sink.
It was made with the same scent as the lip scrub of the same name.
This is one of three different style of Lush Holiday bath bomb. Having quite a different shape, this bomb is in two parts, a head and a torso. Lush has introduced a santa, a snowman and a princess in this style.
They can be somewhat unweildy if youre not aware that the head isnt attached to the body.
Upon investigating these bombs ay the lush creative showcase i promptly dispatched a head while many people watched as it’s lone head rolled across the floor evetyone stifling a laugh.
Princess is pink and yellow, having a yellow bath homb head and a larger mauve colored torso.
Its definitely a much bigger bomb than regular Lush bokbs so take thst into consideration when looking at the price.
This bomb is a fast fizzer though it dpestake longer to fizz away than most fast fizzers because of its size.
Lush creator said lush made princess with a new scent. Its a lovely powdery light floral. A young floral scent. I quite liked the way my skin smelled long after getting out of the tub and drying off.
There’s something about this proncess bomb that is unnerving, perhaps because it looks like a doll, and sometes dolls can be kind of creepy lol. My petsonal creepiness aside i think this bomb will be very nice for young people to use because its kind of interactive.
I enjoyed using it but i dont think id buy another one.
Here is a demo video i recorded of Princess Bomb Bomb in the tub.
Above is a photoi took at the annual 2018 Lush Creative Showcase. Lush had balloons made to look like bath bombs, including the Worlds Smallest Disco.
This is a festive bomb for the Holidays. This one takes out all the stops. It’s black first of all, and it has bright pink, green, blue and yellow discs of color that dissolve and form little puddles of bright day glo color against a sparkling pallette of black.
The bomb has a nice citrussy scent of lime and grapefruit.
Its a bit of a clean up, nothing too henious but there is some cleanup involved.
The black and multicolored glitter look like a million tiny mirrors floating through the water. Mesmerizing.
We all like a good party, whether it’s boogieing at a bar, shaking what your mama gave ya in a club or dad dancing at a wedding.For when you want to celebrate but don’t fancy socialising, put on your favourite tunes, forget about throwing shapes and toss this bath bomb into a hot bath instead.
There’ll be no more crying at the discotheque, watch uplifting lime and grapefruit oils dance in the air as the colours swirl and strobe across your bath. Get your tipple on with cognac oil as you get down and hit your own private dancefloor (but please don’t actually dance in the bath).
4 out of 4 rating see my 3 mi ute Tub Demo Video Below.
This years Snowcake product is a bath bomb called Perle De Sel. I was glad to see this replacement of the traditional Lush snowcake Christmas bomb ‘Lush Pud’. I quite like this all white version vs. the brown color of the previous years.
Perle De Sel has a lovely bit of gold nuggets in the outside middle of the bomb.
Snowcake is a very mild scent, having almond benzoin and rose together makes a light, comforting scent. It smells like a cross between snow and something yummy.
Lush has made many products throughout the years in this scent and this years product is a most elegant version in my opinion.
As it dissolves a lovely shade of aqua blue spews out of the bomb making the water shimmer with the addition of blue and silver sparkle.
Absolutely beautiful.
I would but another one but i wouldnt stock up on them.
Here’s a pic with my vintage Lush Snowcake perfume.
This is possibly my favorite Christmas 2018 product.
Looking strikingly similar to Lush long time favorite ‘Ceridwen’s Cauldron’s bath oil, wrapped in a piece of purple muslin, the bath oil itself is also a deep purple color.
There are multiple little bits of goodies embedded in the top of Plum Pudding.
It makes it look quite like a real plum pudding.
That changes when it hits the water, and the irridescent showstopping purple glitter comes out.
It has the wonderful fruity aroma of plums and, oranges.
Im so glad that Lush decided to make a BIG bath oil, like the size they used to make. While the current lush bath oils are a perfect little gem sized piece, theres something to be said about having a big chunk of purple glittery goodness to rub all over oneself.
This makes my skin feel good. And its gorgeous. I cant resist purple glitter.
Im going to stock up and buy three to five of these beauties.
When you get back from late night shopping and you’re plum out of energy, get in the bath with this skin softening melt. The proof is in the pudding and with ingredients to soften and soothe you’re in for more than just a sweet treat! Watch your winter woes melt away with whole oats and almond oil to hydrate and calm. The best puddings this Christmas are made with Fair Trade organic cocoa butter to moisturise and protect your skin. Lay back and relax with calming osmanthus absolute and petitgrain oil. It’ll be a date to remember.
