The Lush Kitchen: What to Grab and What To Skip In This Weeks Menu (Oct. 1st-5th)

Hello!
Welcome back to my blog!
This week is going to be the beginning of a new series where every Sunday I explore the new Lush Kitchen menu and tell you what I love, what I dislike, and what you should grab and what you may want to skip. Obviously this is all my personal preference but hopefully it will help someone else out there!

This week the kitchen menu was decided by... US! We as Lushies went on social media and voted for some fan favorite products to make a return. The top 10 are being featured this week with two new releases every day. This is sure to be a menu that sells out quickly since some of these items haven't been seen in a while.

Monday Oct. 1st

1. Chameleon Bath Bomb
Last time this cutie was it the kitchen it sold out fast...like 15 minutes fast. This little guy is green bath bomb covered with luster in the shape of a Chameleon. I personally did not get my hands on one of these and I was super disappointed! However, online you can see tons of pictures of the show. As he dissolves in the warm bath water he emits different colors as if it was a real Chameleon blending in with the surroundings. I've seen pictures emitting a pink as well as a yellow color. The scent Lush describes as grapefruit and mandarin, making it a sweet, citrus fizzer. If you like a good show and sweet scent, try grabbing this on Monday!

2. Twilight Shower Jelly
For shower jelly lovers everywhere this product is for you! Scented with the cult classic Twilight scent... this jelly is a beautiful, deep, rich purple color swirled with silver luster. The jiggly treat shares its scent with the Twilight bath bomb and the coveted Twilight shower gel that is released every Christmas. It is a sweet lavender scent that I believe has hints of vanilla. It's a great bedtime treat that moisturizers the skin and helps to calm your mind and body. If shower jellies are you jam and you love twilight, try to pick this one up fast before it's gone!


Tuesday Oct. 2nd

1. Melomint Bubble Bar
This is another product that I have never gotten a chance to try. This bar looks like a Watermelon, with a bright green outside layer and pink inside. However, it's scented heavily with mint and Cypress oil. Peppermint and Spearmint oils are the main ingredients for a refreshing minty treat. I will however, be skipping this because it just doesn't sound as good as some of the other products this week.

2. Rose Jam Shower Jelly
Another wobbly treat for the week! This isn't a very beautiful product, just a simple red jelly. It does share its scent with the Rose Jam family which includes products like the Bubbleroon and the perfume. This is a classic Lush scent family. This is a sweet and floral scent that smells of rose and hints of vanilla. Another product I will be skipping. Although I love the shower jellies, this scent is in many other products and just isn't as rare as some of the other releases this week.

Wednesday Oct. 3rd

1. Autumn Leaf Bath Bomb
Originally a Halloween release product, the autumn leaf is a classic fall smell; scented with Neroli and Sandalwood. It's more earthy than some of the other products but has a lighter scent so it ca easily be paired in a cocktail. However, I will be skipping this product. I had a few during its first release and although the green, yellow, and orange color mix looked beautiful during the fizz.... the final bath color was just a dull yellow and the scent didn't stick to me as long as I would have liked.


2. Honey I Washed the Kids Shower Jelly
This is probably the product I'm most excited for this week! This is a bright white shower jelly that shares its scent with the Honey I Washed the Kids soap from the normal range. This is a light and sweet fragrance of honey with bergamont oil and Brazilian Orange. In my opinion one of the best scent families Lush has that doesn't get nearly enough love from the company. Pick one of these up if you can! They're sure to be a quick seller.
*Note: This product is NOT suitable for vegans because of the honey*


Thursday Oct. 4th

1. GeoPhyzz Bath Bomb
This is one of the most unique scents that Lush has EVER brought out. This slow green fizzer includes pine , cypress, and sandalwood oils. This makes it a very fresh yet deep kind of scent; perfect for a hot bath on a cold afternoon or evening. It's also packed with Red Hawaiian Sea Salt for a softening treat. It's one to get your hands on for sure!

2. Yoga Bomb
It's a bath bomb double day! This isn't one I'm going to write a long post about because it is a product that just left the normal range. Some of the NA shops even still have some in stock. This an orange bomb packed with colors with a very relaxing scent. If you loved this bomb, now is your time to stock up. It is on the discontinued list and this may be the last we see of this product for the near future. However this is not one I am going to pick up as I just finished the final 3 in my collection and want to make room for more exclusive scents.

Friday Oct. 5th

1. Karma Shower Gel
This is another classic Lush product and a well-loved scent family. Patchouli based, this gel has a scent that just reminds you of the 70s. The patchouli oil really transports you and envelops you in a scent that is very strong and woodsy. This is a fan favorite and sure to sell out fast! I will however, be skipping it. I personally have issues with the Karma scent as the very strong patchouli tends to give me a headache. It is one of Lushes stronger scents and since I can be very sensitive I've just come to know that Karma isn't one of those scent I really should be stocking up on.

2. Unicorn Horn BubbleBar
Another cult classic that is a limited edition release. Typically, you ca only come across this sweet scented blubber during the Valentines day release. It creates wonderfully stiff bubbles and gives the water a nice pastel color. The scent is sweet, with lavender and neroli. the bar is also full of silver luster which provides just a beautiful bathing experience. This is one I'm okay with skipping since Valentines day is less than 6 months away and I have other products that need to be used up.

Overall, the product this week are diverse both in scent and style. There's sure to be at least one product this week that every Lush fan can enjoy!
