Hot Lips

This is a lip mask. A lip mask is a new (ish) way for hydrating your lips. Just like sheet masks hydrate your face. I’ve been using lip masks from various different K Beauty brands for a couple of years and use them pretty regularly on my self care days.

Lush says on their Uk website “

DESCRIPTION

“Softer, smoother lips are a must whether it’s Valentine’s Day or not, because who doesn’t want kissable lips all the time? Hot Lips is made with loads of glycerin so it’s mega hydrating, while natural ground bamboo stem extract delivers a super-fine polish to scrub away any unwanted dry bits. Plus, it tastes like sweet cherries. But don’t take our word for it; ask a willing friend to try it out.

And this is their instructions for use on the uk lush online purchase product website.

HOW TO USE

“Designed for one-time use, simply pop the mask over your lips and let the ingredients to get to work for a few minutes. Once you’re done, buff the product across your lips until you feel the bamboo. Then, lick your lips or rinse away any residue.”

The scent of this lip mask is so good. It smells like another Valentines product from two years ago called ‘Kiss Me Quick’. It’s what i would call a lipstick mixed with cherry. I love the smell.

So on to how it works. So i unpacked it from its little envelope.

It feels nice. I noticed it doesn’t have any liquid, or gel, nor any kind of serum on it or in it.

I thought that was different for a lip mask. The ones i’ve tried weren’t dry like this. At the very least it shoulve been damp. So it wouldn’t stick to my lips whatsoever. Lush’s instructions say to ‘put it on your lips for a few minutes’ and let it moisturize or hydrate yoyr lips.

So since it didnt dtay on i tried just holding it in place with my hand. I even tried it lying down so it would stay on my lips.

Nothing happens. Literally nothing. My lips were dry just like they were before i put the mask on.

There wasnt even any product on my lips. There wasnt even any residue! How is this even possible?

I tried wetting it a little bit. Nope. No change. Still didnt stick to my lips.

Im so confused as to how this works.

Hmm. There was what looked like liquid or color that seeped into the envelope that it was in. Maybe thats the issue? Dunno.

It sure is cool looking in the sun!

I dont know its possible im just being dumb but i didnt really get it. 🤷🏽‍♀️Id rate it a 2 out of 5 rating.

Heres my Demo video i nade for you showing how it looks and feels close up.

Kim the Carrot

I just could not place this scent initially.

You know what really messed with my head? Well, for Easter holidays past Lush has made carrot looking bubble bars. And so when i first smelled this Kim the Carrot on my Valentine’s 2022 Haul video I. DiD. NOT. LIKE. IT.

I was expecting a natural carrot scent. All the orange carrot shaped bars that lush has made throughout the years had carrot juice in them.

Even though its not an Easter product i still expected that scent. And when i smelled the Creamy Candy scent instead-it messed me up 😅

Lush ‘Creamy Candy’ bubble bar

It smelled familiar to me but i couldnt put my fimger on what it was that i was smelling. At the time i couldnt even tell what scent it was. Creamy Candy. It’s CREAMY CANDY 😂

This is a New, limited edition bubble bar for Valentines 2022. This wasnt my favorite. I liked the other Lush Valentine’s products below alot more than this bubble bar.

.

Here’s a video i recorded for you of my bath with Kim the Carrot and you can see what it looks like when using it.

Mr. Loba Loba

See my Tub Demo Below 😊

The ones i got from Lush Uk were more pink and the one i got from Lush usa is more red.

This is a New, limited edition bath bomb for Valentine’s 2022. Its made in the shape of a Lobster, and is made in the same scent as ‘Pink Fun’ bar. Tonka and Benzoin.

It has a soft floral scent with a bit of yumminess.

with the Lush Pink Fun bar scent.

I love the reddish pink color. Lush doesn’t have many products with this color. I love it!

This is not a fast fizzing bath bomb, it’s one of those slow, melty kind of bath bombs . I love the ones like this, and this one is extra ‘fluffy’ in the water.

Lush 2022 Description: We’re obsessed with the idea that lobsters mate for life, which is how this limited-edition lobster came to be! You’ll want to spend a lifetime with this one’s benzoin resinoid, tonka absolute, and almond oil blend that creates a sweet and cozy scent. And just like true love, it fizzes slow, giving you time to fall head over heels for its red-and-pink foam that’s packed with sodium alginate to give your water a soothing, gel-like feel.Proudly packaging-free.Benefits.,

  • Almond essential oil is soothing
  • Tonka absolute offers a decadent note
  • Sodium alginate makes water feel gel-like

I like the fun lobster shape, i love the uncommon color, and i like the scent.

I would rate this a 5 out of 5.

How to use: 
Run your bath and release into the water. You’re my lobster! Fizz away with the boombastic, romantic, fantastic scent of sweet benzoin and tonka.

How to store: 
Keep cool and dry before you are ready to partner for life (or the duration of your bath).

Here’s a Tub Demo Video I made for you

I Can Resist Everything But Temptation

See my closeup sink Demo Video Below.

This is a New Lush limited edition shower gel for Valentine’s 2022.

This is a new shower gel with a new scent. It’s an apple scent, but different than another Lush apple scent called ‘So White’. To me so white is more of a green apple scent and Temptation is more of a red apple scent.

Even though lush said its a new scent i found out from The_Lush_Box oninstagram that Lush made this shower gel in the same scent as their 2004 ‘Temptation’ soap

Heres a piece i took a photo of in 2006

It’s not a sweet scent. It reminds me of fresh green grass under an apple tree. The apple is more subtle.

A beautiful red color with no glitter.

My husband said he smells apple with a bit of floral. Neither one of us smell any hint of cinnamon in this shower gel.

It’s also made in the same scent as the Lush ‘Apple Crumble‘ bubble bar, and the Valentine’s 2024 Turtle jelly.

The gel is so thick that when you squeeze it out it falls out in ribbons. And i did my plate test in the video and it took a LONG time to drip down the plate.

.

Lush description: In the mood for love? This one’s packed with aphrodisiac ingredients like cinnamon, red rose petals, and ginseng. Perfect for sharing showers.

Lush: Whether you love to share showers or go it alone, you’ll want to get wild with this irresistible body wash. It starts with the perfect throuple: an infusion of cinnamon, red rose petals and ginseng, ingredients that are known for their aphrodisiac effects, and then kicks it into high gear with cinnamon leaf oil for an extra-spicy good time. So go ahead, lather up, enjoy the moment, and just try to resist this one.

I’d rate this a 4 out of 5 rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love Bug

See the Tub Demo video i made for you below.

This is a new bath bomb for Lush. It’s a limited edition bath bomb just for Valentine’s 2022.

Take this uplifting fizzer for a spin around the tub as it unleashes skin-softening, colorful waters and a sweet, citrusy scent.

Lush description: Inspired by Herbie the Love Bug, this sweet ‘n’ citrusy fizzer is the perfect companion for bathtime. Sicilian lemon and organic sweet orange oils collide with rose oil to give this one a citrusy scent kissed with a hint of sweetness. We’ve also packed it full of cream of tartar and corn starch to help kick the softness up a notch for a seriously silky feel.

Benefits

  • Corn starch helps soften water and skin
  • Citrus oils deliver an uplifting hit
  • Rose oil keeps things calm and soothed

This is a New Valentines bath bomb for 2022. It’s a cute little vw bug car. It has the same scent as the classic Lush Valentines ‘Love Boat’ bath bomb from previous years, as well as the Rose Lollipop lip balm. This Love Bug even has the same colors as the Love Boat.

Rose Lollipop lip butter

How to use: 
Ready – run your bath. 
Set – add your Love Bug. 
GO! 
Sink into the tangy sherbet scent of orange and Sicilian lemon. For a Valentine’s Day bath that will get your heart racing.

This bath bomb makes great bath art. Pink, Blue and Yellow are so pretty. The bath water starts out with multi-colored bath foam and then turns into a beautiful rose color.

The rose colored water has silver shimmer in it.

I’d rate this bath bomb a 5 out of 5 rating 😊

Strawberry Heart

5 out of 5 rating See my Sink and Tub demo Video i recorded for you Below. 😊

I’m not sure if Lush is only offering the small size of jelly this Valentine’s?

Nevertheless, i love this jelly. I think this Syrawberry Heart shower jelly is one of the best strawberry scents that lush has ever made (besides the yummy yummy yummy shower gel) . Lush says it’s a new strawberry scent. And yes i would say it is. Doesn’t smell like Yummy Yummy Yummy because there’s no geranium, no frankincense and no bergamot. It Doesn’t smell like Strawberry Twin Tub jelly either because there is no floral notes.

This truly smells like Strawberry jam.

Looks cool with the sun shining through it
