New Lush Products

One of my favourite natural cosmetics brands is Lush.
They often bring out new products, and I wanted to give you all an update on all that is new.
(I usually order from Lush UK, so the prices listed in this post are the UK prizes.)

Summer Pudding Soap


Lush UK website description:

It's a creamy soap that scents your body with Simon's fruity "Berried Treasure" of buchu and citrus. We make it with scrubby ground almonds, softening almond oil, and cleansing lemon oil.
You'll find it difficult to resist a slice of pudding.

Ingredients:

Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Rapeseed Oil (Brassica napus), Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Ground Almonds (Prunus dulcis), Sodium Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Glace Cherries (Prunus cerasus), Perfume, Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Buchu Oil (Barosma betulina), Juniper Berry Oil (Juniperus communis), Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Glycerine, Sodium Chloride, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Sodium Hydroxide, Titanium Dioxide, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), *Limonene, *Linalool, Colour 17200, Colour 14700.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £2,95 for 100g.

*I'm curious to what this soap would smell like. Would it smell like Snowcake and berries?
Would it smell like Happy Blooming Luxury Bath Melt? Or would it smell like something totally different? I like to think Summer Pudding would smell amazing. Sadly I already own enough soap to wash myself for the next 10 years, so I really don't need anymore *sighs*.*

9 to 5 Liquid Cleanser


Lush UK website description:

Excellent for sensitive skin.
Mark created this one a long time ago and named it "Orchi Oil Cleanser".
It's taken a while to get it into Lush, but our customers where crying out for a liquid cleanser.
Orchids and everlasting flower soothe and clean the skin thoroughly with a mild antibacterial action, and almond smoothes the skin.
It's great for taking of stubborn make-up and gives a fresh feeling after use.

Ingredients:

Water(Aqua), Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Stearic Acid, Fresh Dove Orchid Extract (Dendrobium), Everlasting Flower Absolute (Helichrysum italicum), Ylang, Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), Triethanolamine), Cetearyl Alcohol, Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £3,95 for 95g and £7,95 for 240g.

*I've been waiting for Lush to make a liquid cleanser for years, and now it's finally here, hurray.
Though Lush's solid cleansers are great, they are a bit unpractical when you are in a hurry or when you're going somewhere (like the gym, a holiday or your boyfriend's house), so a liquid cleanser was definitely needed! Can't wait to try this one and see if it cleans thoroughly enough without drying my skin.*

Silk Stockings Solid Body Tint


Lush UK website description:

Pull on a pair of your silkiest stockings.
Silk Stockings is one of our new solid body tints.
This is the one for pale skins that need some colour and even tones.
It's a pinky blend of colours that melts onto the skin and gives a natural looking tint.
It also washes off easily, so your sheets won't suffer melty messes.

Ingredients:

Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Perfume, Rose Absolute (Rosa damascena), Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum grnadiflorum), Sandalwood Oil (Santalum austro-caledonicum vieill and Fusanus spicatus), *Benzyl Salicylate, *Euegniol, *Geraniol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Farnesol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Isoeugenol, Hydroxycitronellal, Alumina, Tin Oxide, Colour 77891, Colour 77019, Colour 77491.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £7,50 for 30g.

*Since I'm pale skinned, this one would probably suit my skin very well. I wonder if it's like a solid (and perhaps lighter) version of the liquid body tint "Charlotte Island". Silk Stockings is fragranced with the scent of Fever massagebar, which I like but I'm not extremely fond of.*

Black Stockings Solid Body Tint


Lush UK website description:

When silk won't do, try a pair of black stockings.
Black Stockings is the body tint for tanned or black skin.
The combination of darker colours gives a stunningly realistic tan and evens out the skin tones.
It has a blend that will remind you of warm Caribbean beaches.

Ingredients:

Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Perfume, Cinnamon Leaf Oil (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Pimento Berry Oil (Pimenta officinalis), *Cinnamyl Alcohol, *Cinnamal, *Eugenol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Limonene, *Linalool, Alumina, Tin OZide, Colour 77891, Colour 77019, Colour 77491.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £7,50 for 30g.

*Being a cinnamon addict (yes, I really LOVE the smell and taste of cinnamon) this body tint seems lovely to me. Sadly I don't have the right skin tone for this one :(.*

Tuca Tuca Perfume


Lush UK website description:

The scent of a bright pop song. Tuca Tuca is whimsical; it teases with a fantasy violet accord and works it's way into your subconscious. As it settles, you get hints of jasmine and vanilla, too.

Ingredients:

DRF Alcohol, Perfume, Cassie Absolute (Acacia farnesiana), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Sandalwood Oil (Santalum austro-caledonicum vieill), Vetivert Oil (Vetiveria zizanoides), Violet Leaf Absolute (Viola odorata), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), *Benzyl Salicylate, *Eugeniol, *Geraniol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Benzyl Cinnamate, *Farnesol, *Limonene, *Linalool.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £11,00 for 9g and £23,00 for 27g.

*Since I love and collect ALL the perfumes by Lush (and Bnever) I can hardly wait to try (and own) this one :D. I can't really imagine what it would smell like (except for floral and interesting) but when I look at the ingredient list it reminds me a bit of my Bathos perfume.
Tuca Tuca is available in a bottle and in a spritzer.*

Tuca Tuca Massage Bar


Lush UK website description:

It has a soothing extract of fresh rose petals, moisturising cocoa and shea butters, and a seductive violet scent that flirts with sensuality. It's a massage experience that will do all the work for you. Grab the bar, dim the lights, and tuca tuca!

Ingredients:

Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Perfume, Fresh Rose Petal Extract (Rosa damascena), Cassie Absolute (Acacia farnesiana), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Sandalwood Oil (santalum austro-caledonicum vieill), Vetivert Oil (Vetiveria zizanoides), Violet Leaf Absolute (Viola odorata), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), *Benzyl Salicylate, *Cinnamal, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Geraniol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Farnesol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Titanium Dioxide, Colour 77019, Colour 77007.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £5,00 for 45g.

*This massage bar has the same fragrance as the Tuca Tuca Perfume. It think this one looks really cute with the purple letters on top. I will definitely buy this one if I like the Tuca Tuca fragrance.*

It Started With A Kiss Tinted Lip Balm


Lush UK website description:

Sugar and spice and all things nice.
Our red apple, cinnamon and white chocolate flavour is delicious. It's a perfect blend of spice and sweetness, and it makes you think of toffee apples. No one will be able to resist your tempting pout when you wear this, and kissing will swiftly follow.

Ingredients:

Apparently they aren't listed on the site yet. It does say on the product page, that "Fresh Red Apple Infusion, White Chocolate, Icing Sugar en Cinnamon Leaf Oil" are in this lip balm.

Price: £4,95 for 10g.

*This sounds absolutely yummy :D and I've been wishing for a red tinted lip balm by Lush for a while, so I guess they answered my prayer ;).*

Double Choc Tinted Lip Balm


Lush UK website description:

A tint and hint of chocolate.
Hazulnut and brazil nut oils moisturise and protect the lips, while icing sugar and black treacle give it a sweet, creamy texture. This balm has a little colour, too, to tint your lips with creamy chocolate. Try to resist licking it off...

Ingredients:

Once again, the ingredients aren't listed, but these ingredients are in this lip balm for sure: hazelnut, brazil nut oil, dark chocolate, icing sugar and black treacle.

Price: £4,95 for 10g.

*This lip balm seems yummy as well. I'm just not sure if this one would look good on my lips, since I'm very light skinned. I guess there's only one way to find out if it's light enough for me to wear or too dark ;).*

Fizzbanger Bath Ballistic


Lush UK website description:

The scent of forbidden fruit.
The Fizzbanger has the Love fragrance, a perfume from "B", but it's separated in this ballistic.
First, you get the scent of sweet apples; then, you get a hint of cinnamon and toffee. When you drop it into the bath, the water changes colour again and again, from yellow to blue to a deep green. Like all of our new ballistics, it takes ages to fizz away, so you get to enjoy the experience for longer. It's a good excuse to stay in the bath until someone makes you get out.

This ballistic has lots of fizzy candy inside, so it pops and explodes in the water like an experiment gone awry.


Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Fizzy Candy, Cream Of Tartar (Tartaric Acid), Sodium Lauretht Sulfate, Cinnamon Leaf Oil (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Petitgrain Oil (Citrus Aurantium amara), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Cocoamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Linalool, Perfume, C0lour 42090.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £2,95 for 200g.

*Of the new ballistics, this is the one I'm most curious about. I like the Love fragance (I also own the perfume) and the colour changing and the fizzy candy all seem really cool to me. I think it will make for a very interesting bathing experience (and not to mention a fantastic smelling one)!*

Dragon's egg


Lush UK website description:

Bath-time fireball.
As you bathe in the whirlpool of vibrant, fiery colour and inhale the refreshing sherbet scent of lemon and bergamot, you'll feel like you're up and away on the back of your own dragon.
Popping candy pops around you, glitter swirls in shimmering circles and your bath becomes the birthing ground of a baby dragon. Well, in a way.


Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Fizzy Candy, Perfume, Cream of Tartar (Tartaric Acid), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Bergamot Oil (Citrus Aurantium bergamia), Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum grandiflorum), Cocamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, Propylene Glycol, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), *Citral, *Limonene, *Linalool, Colour 17200, Colour 14700, Colour 45410, Colour 15510, Golden Glitter (Polyethylene terephthalate), Golden Lustre Sparkle, Rice Paper.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £2,95 for 200g.

*What an interesting ballistic, this one. I am curious to how the glittery swirls would look in my bath and if the scent is actually as refreshing citrusy as it sounds, or more of a sweet citrusy scent.*

Twilight Bath Ballistic


Lush UK website description:

Your swan song before bed.
Twilight softens your entire body, and it even twinkles like starlight as the glitter is released.
When it fizzes, the shift from pink to indigo looks like the sun setting in the night sky. It's the most relaxing bath-time treat yet and will transform you from Edward Sullen to a human being again.


Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cream of Tartar (Tartaric Acid), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lavender Oil (Lavendula angustifolia), Benzoin Resinoid (styrax tonkinensis pierre), Tonka Absolute (Dipteryx odorata), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), Cocoamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, *Coumarin, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 442090, Colour 14700, Colour 17200, Colour 45410, Iridescent Glitter (Polyethylene terephthalate and Acrylates copolymer).

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £2,95 for 200g.

*Yay, finally a Twilight inspired Lush product (is a big Twilight fan). Once again a ballistic that changes colour in your bath (which I like :D ) and a lot of shimmer (which isn't bad either).
I think I would really enjoy the relaxing lavender scent and would fall a sleep and dream deep after bathing with Twilight. It was time for a new relaxing bath ballistic that wasn't too small for anyone besides baby's, and here it finally is.*

Mrs Whippy Bath Ballistic


Lush UK website description:

Strawberry ice cream bath.
There is soya milk in the middle, so the water becomes extra softenend when the ballistic fizzes dwon t the centre. It's a milk bath like cleopatra used to have, and it's great for soothing skin after intense sunshine. Mrs. Whippy fizzes slowly, giving you a long-lasting soak and smooth skin.


Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Soya Milk Powder *Glycerine soja), Tapioca Flour, Perfume, Cream Of Tartar (Tartaric acid), Fairtrade Sugar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocoa Absolute (Theobroma cacao), Tonka absolute (Dipteryx odorata), Almond Essential Oil (Prunus dulcis), Buchu Oil (Barosma betulina), Titanium Dioxide, Cocamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Limonene, Colour 14700, Colour 17200, Colour 45410.

*Occurs naturall in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £2,50 for 90g.

*This seems more hydrating than the other new ballistics. Since I'm allergic to dairy I like that Lush uses soya milk in this ballistic. Also, it looks just really cute ^^.*

As you can see, Lush launched a lot of fantastic and pretty innovative new products.
They've made something for everyone and for different skin types and colours.

Lush has also released some new gifts, but I'll write about them later, since this post has become way too long already.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying them when I can finally afford them ;).

Will you be buying some of these products, or have you tried some of them already?
Please leave a comment if you will/have.

Until next time,

Freya
