From the new Lush collaboration with the movie Wicked, Glinda Upland body spray: "The beautifical fragrance of bright, floral rose oil intertwines with smooth, velvety notes of benzoin resin. Creamy vanilla and nutty notes of pistachio sweeten things up, to make you feel like you're floating over Oz." Additional notes include orris and sesame seed. £40 for 200 ml at Lush UK.
A new fragrance from Lush: The Magic of Christmas. "The Magic of Christmas pulled together in a little bottle that fits right in your pocket. Take this heartwarming fragrance with you wherever you go and spread Christmas cheer with fresh, clean grapefruit, petitgrain, warming cinnamon and sweet carob resin. A spritz a day keeps Ebenezer at bay." Only available as part of the 2024 Lush Advent Calendar, $300.
From Lush, The Juice is Loose shower gel: "Turn on the shower and see what shakes loose with this limited-edition Beetlejuice Beetlejuice x Lush shower gel. Made with a refreshing juniper berry and sweet wild orange scent to make your millennium, plus softening carrageenan extract to help your skin feel downright revived." Despite that description, the reviews make it clear it smells like grape soda, so make your decision accordingly. Limited edition, in 3 sizes $12.50-40.
Lush has launched a collection of 12 scents, including 11 new personal fragrances (some of which are based on existing body products) and 1 reissue. (Also new: a bunch of solid roll-up perfumes in older scents like Lust, Rose Jam, Alina, Pansy, American Cream, Karma, Vanillary and more…)
Two Lush shower gels that I hope will make their way across the pond: Scan Me for Scares ("A screamingly good cranberry wash. Relax and take a shower with sweet cranberry infusion and hydrating glycerine, served with a side of horror film vibes. If you’re feeling brave, triple check that the door is locked behind you and scan the QR code on the label. While the sounds give you goosebumps, corn syrup gives you moisture, leaving the skin soft and smooth. It’s a deliciously scary shower experience!") and Bananaaaa (From a collaboration with Minions; "Doing a boss’s dirty work is no mean feat. That’s why no self-respecting minion would be without this creamy, banana-scented gel after a hard day’s badness. Handle with caution: one whiff of this sweet banana blend will draw every minion within a five-mile radius"). At Lush UK.
