If you don’t shop at Lush already, you’ll at least have smelt one of its stores as you’ve walked past.

The Hot List: Six products to look and feel your best this Autumn

Bath bombs, perfumes, hair stuff, soaps, bath bombs in the shape of animals, soaps in the shape of animals – Lush takes just about any cosmetic thing you could be after and creates a natural, handmade version of it before throwing on glitter and rainbows.

If you’re a Lush connoisseur and think you own it all already, well, you don’t – because I paid a visit to their 2017 product launch, and this is what I found.

Brace yourself for magic.




Groovy Kind of Love bath bomb

Would you look at the colours on that (Picture: Alice Sholl)

Steady on Lush – you’ve already outdone yourself. A bath bomb, but rainbow? We’re sold.

(Yes, the bubbles it creates are rainbow too.)

Scrubee

The only time you’ll ever want to bring a stinging animal close to your skin (Picture: Alice Sholl)

Scrubee. Get it? Scrub. Bee. A bee you scrub yourself with.

Not sure how I feel about the word play, but a body butter with honey, bergamot and natural almond scrub sounds good enough to let it go this time.

Flopsy face jelly

It’s a carrot-infused face jelly (Picture: Alice Sholl)

If the plot of Donnie Darko was centred around facial softness instead of time travel.

Chocolate Easter Egg soap

It’s vegan, too (Picture: Alice Sholl)

It’s chocolate-flavoured soap in the shape of a giant egg. What’s not to love?

Chocolate lip scrub

Admit it, you’re just gonna eat it (Picture: Alice Sholl)

Does what it says on the tin, and I can vouch for the fact it does indeed taste how it promises.

Mum bath bomb

Part of Lush’s 2017 Mother’s Day collection, if that wasn’t obvious (Picture: Alice Sholl)

Nothing says ‘I love you’ for Mother’s Day like putting ‘MUM’ on a bath bomb, in capitals, with a love heart.

The Sicilian lemon, sweet orange and rose scent should help too.

Your Mother Should Know bubble bar

Primary colours – we dig it (Picture: Alice Sholl)

Is it an ABBA reference? Should your mother know?

Not sure, but it’s definitely a deliciously-scented bubble bar.

Baa Bar bubble bar

Another play on words, we sense (Picture: Alice Sholl)

Look into this sheep-shaped bubble bar’s eyes as you mercilessly dissolve it – to release scents of lavender, clove and soya milk.

Metamorphosis

The glitter’s derived from a kind of seaweed so it doesn’t damage the environment (Picture: Alice Sholl)

It may look a little gloomy on the outside, but once you drop it into water, it goes through a series of different colours.

Magical.

Several new scents

There’s already a pretty hefty collection (Picture: Alice Sholl)

A few new fragrances are being added to Lush’s perfume collection including Cardamom Coffee, Amelie Mae and Rentless.

The first is pretty self explanatory but, well, you’ll just have to smell the second two yourself.

Chick ‘n’ Mix bath bomb

Look at the tiny little bath bomb egg inside it (Picture: Alice Sholl)

The only bath bomb to have seemingly been inspired by the Canadians in South Park.

Who coincidentally must smell like bergamot oil.

Mother Earth bath bomb

Hand for scale (Picture: Alice Sholl)

Named so because it’s the biggest bath bomb in existence.

I assume, anyway.

Elsie the Giraffe bubble bar

One for the kids (and us) (Picture: Alice Sholl)

It’s a bubble bar. It’s reusable. It’s shaped like a giraffe. It’s made with grapefruit oil. It’s on a stick.

Don’t cry too much when it finally melts.

101 Salvations shower cream

It’s a reference to which Disney film? You’ve got this (Picture: Alice Sholl)

It may not be the snazziest member of the 2017 Lush family, but for my follow sensitively-skinned creatures out there this gentle olive oil and oatmeal shower cream sounds pretty decent.

Hair Doctor hair treatment

It has Irish moss powder in it (Picture: Alice Sholl)

On-a-stick hair treatment is back in town, with this ‘lil fella for healthy hair as well as one called Marilyn for blondes and Yuge for people who want big, big hair.



Thundersnow bath bomb

Yes, popping candy (Picture: Alice Sholl)

This dramatically-named bath bomb has popping candy, peppermint and cocoa in it.

Yellow Submarine bath bomb

We all live in a… (Picture: Alice Sholl)

Lush has indeed made a Beatles-esque yellow submarine in the form of a bath bomb, presumably just because they can.

Now all you have to do is imagine putting every one of these items in your bath at once.

That’s the spirit.
