Lush x 5 ~ quick body product reviews

Posted by Robin on 8 March 2025 23 Comments

It’s rare that I even think about buying a new perfume these days — I have enough to last me and then some — but shower gels are another matter entirely. For one thing, even if I don’t end up loving them, and even if I have too many in my shower already, they will get used up before they spoil. Lush is a favorite, and they launch new products at a steady pace, so it’s not unusual for me to want, say, 4 or 5 or 6 of them at once. My trips to the mall are few and far between, though, and Lush products come and go relatively quickly, which explains why in a fit of panic I recently ordered 5 products unsniffed, lest they sell out before I get my hands on them.

From KOBO, "Plant the Box" bar soap in Wild Tomato Vine: "Freshly crushed tomato leaf carries the essence while peppery spice creates an aromatic distillation. It finishes with the scent of freshly cut garden clippings. Plant the box and the seed-infused package will grow wild tomatoes." $15 for 198g at Smallflower. (These are also made in Lavender and Sunflower, and they have a whole series of "Plant the Box" candles too, I think they might have been a lemming here in the distant past.)

A lemming for fans of Lush Grass shower gel: Mossy Bottom Body Spray. "Part of our limited-edition Shaun The Sheep x Lush collaboration! When you’re feeling woolly-headed, the scent of freshly cut grass is hard to bleat! Bring the outdoors in with this earthy and grounding blend of verdant green notes and woody sandalwood... Sandalwood, neroli and bergamot evoke the scent of freshly cut grass slick with rain. Fans of our Grass Shower Gel will want to get their hands on this one. You herd us!" $50 for 200 ml.

From Szia Skin, Vanilla Body Oil: "Nourishing oils give immediate glow to the skin. Lightweight with a warm vanilla scent. The Vanilla Body Oil is free of high-PUFA seed oils that can cause inflammation and cellular damage from unstable free radicals. SZIA SKIN formulates this Vanilla Body Oil with nourishing cold-pressed organic oils of olive and jojoba, and organic fractionated coconut oil for soft supple skin." In 50 or 150 ml ($38 / $72) at Beautyhabit.

A lemming for fans of Dolce & Gabbana Devotion? The Rich Body Cream: "Its indulgent texture provides deep, long-lasting hydration for up to 24 hours. The scent opens with the enticing and gourmand notes of candied lemons. In the heart, the freshness of orange blossoms explodes. The warm and sensual touch of Madagascar vanilla transports the senses to a sweet and sophisticated destination. The frosted finish glass and the golden lid, embellished with the Sacred Heart, make this body cream a true symbol of elegance and care." 180 ml for $97 (huh) at Nordstrom.
