I still haven't made it to Lush to check out Sticky Dates, and now here's Glitch: "It’s game over for dirt and bacteria! This refreshing body wash is encoded with cleansing lemongrass oil and lime juice. Lathering up with the blend of carrageenan extract and vegetable glycerin will unlock the achievement of super soft, hydrated skin while the smile-inducing citrus scent will reboot your system." $11 - $37 at Lush USA.
The daily lemming
Gosh, I'd nearly forgotten all about Patyka. They're a French organic brand, and their perfumes, which I don't think they make anymore, were talked about on MakeupAlley's fragrance board, oh, another lifetime ago. I came across their Néroli Divin shower gel online the other day ("Revitalize the mind, body and soul with citrus zesty notes and organic botanicals that comfort and cleanse. Let the unique essence carry you away to Tangier, an inspiring city full of light") and then realized there are others: Bois Precieux ("visualize relaxing along the bank of Rio Madeira in Porto Velho, admiring the canopy") and Raisin Perlé ("your mind’s eye journeys into the mountain of Reims, strolling along the scenic vineyards to admire the sun-kissed grapes"). $35 each (not a bargain then, but cheaper than Lush) for 250 ml at Patyka US.

And I just made a Lush run, too...looks like I'll have to go back. Sticky Dates shower gel: "Enjoy sweet hydration! This Eid-inspired shower gel is ideal for after fasting when the skin needs a little extra TLC. Lather on moisture-retaining organic date syrup, soothing sandalwood oil and cleansing orange juice for a hydrating shower that will leave your skin feeling revived, renewed, and refreshed." (If the UK reviews are to be believed, it smells like sticky toffee pudding.) $11.50 - $38 at Lush USA.
The daily lemming
More Lush to want! Mimosa shower gel: "Make every morning a celebration with our Mimosa Shower Gel. The mimosa flower is a bloom commonly used to celebrate women, so we used that beautiful aroma to inspire this citrus-infused lather, made with fresh orange juice and floral elderflower. We even added a wink of wine lees oil to give it a boozy hint of bubbles. Wake up, suds up and celebrate!" $10.95 - $36.95 at Lush USA.
The daily lemming
From Italian brand L'Amande, Foam Bath in Liguria Citrus Fruits: "L'Amande Ligurian citrus shower gel, delicate for daily use by the whole family. Its formulation, particularly attentive to the well-being of the skin, is enriched with vitamin C which promotes the metabolism of collagen and with the organic essential oils of green mandarin, bitter orange, sweet orange and lemon with refreshing and anti-stress properties." $25 for 500 ml at Smallflower. (Also tempting: bath foam in Trentino Spruce and Swiss Pine.)
