♥ LUSH Exclusive Body Lotions - First Impression!

I honestly didn't know whether I was going to get this blog post up today. I have been so poorly this last week and I've just gotten worse over the weekend. However, I need something to take my mind off it and what better way than talking about LUSH! As I'm sure you will all know, LUSH released 10 exclusive body lotions last Thursday and of course, I couldn't not pick some up for myself. They were dispatched super quick, arriving yesterday. I picked up five out of the then and I am really pleased I did. The other five I either already have or I'm not fussed about the scent.I made one order with three lotions and a perfume and then instantly regretted not purchasing another two, so I went back for more! I just have no self control..

This lotion is one of the ones I was most excited for and one that I requested when Mark asked for our votes. I was sceptical about the scent working out when I saw that they were replacing the honey with noni fruit, which is often referred to as 'vomit fruit' due to the pungent scent, but this really does work! I would say that the lotion definitely smells like the body spray, very sweet and creamy and nothing like It's Raining Men. I really love this one and I am so happy it worked with the vegan replacement so everybody can enjoy it! I can't wait to get my hands on some fresh Shoot for the Stars bath bombs to have an entire HIWTK scented bath!

I was in two minds as to whether I should purchase a Lord of Misrule body lotion as I already own the body conditioner and I actually use that as a lotion sometimes. I didn't purchase it in my initial order but had to go back and grab a pot. Lord of Misrule is one of my favourite scents and the body lotion does not disappoint! I can definitely smell that gorgeous scent, a combination of patchouli, black pepper oil and vanilla, it's perfect! I would say the lotion is scented perfectly to the body conditioner, it's a little more creamy than the body spray, which I find to be quite pungent. Lord of Misrule body lotion is going to be one of my most reached for lotions, I can tell already! I can't wait to have a proper Lord of Misrule bath once the Halloween products launch next weekend, I'm so excited!

Pictured - Butterball body lotion

I knew I wanted a Butterball body lotion as soon as I saw that it was being released. I have completely fallen in love with this scent after getting the body conditioner and the shower gel, it's the most gorgeous chocolate scent and pairs lovely with all my foodie Bath Bakes products! Again, the body lotions does not disappoint! Butterball smells exactly how I imagined it would, straight up chocolate heaven! This is probably my favourite lotion of the bunch - I wish I'd gotten myself two! Butterball lotion has came out just in time, with the Butterbear shower jelly coming out for Christmas and the usual Butterbear bath bomb, chocolate baths all around!

Pictured - Avocado No Wash body lotion

Avocado No Wash is the other lotion that I didn't initially purchase, but just had to go back and grab. LUSH really seem to be going in on this scent lately, after the out pour of love for the shower gel, I wasn't surprised to see this scent as an option. Avocado No Wash smells exactly like the gel, the sweetie scent is very strong and stays around on the skin after you've used it. I'm really please that I purchased this lotion to add to my little Avocado Co Wash family, I wouldn't be surprised if products from future launches (Valentines Day, Mothers Day etc) include a product with that scent. How amazing would a bubble bar be!

Pictured - Yog Nog body lotion

Okay, so I has heard nothing but good comments about Yog Nog body lotion. I heard that it was the most wonderful, creamy fudge scented product ever and it was the top of everybody's list of the lotion they loved the most. I was so keen to get my tub as this was another scent that I requested and Yog Nog is a scent that LUSH appear to be slowly killing off, so I want to grab everything I possibly can in this scent before they never bring it back again. I must admit, my first impression of this lotion was awful It smelt so savoury, quite like a korma kind of scent, I just couldn't bare the scent. I went back to it a few times throughout the day and it still smelt awfully savoury. I put it down to myself not being very well and thought I'd give it another go when I feel a bit better. I smelt it again this morning and thought yes, I can finally smell that buttery fudge scent! But now I'm smelling it again, we're back to savoury! I'm really disappointed in this as Yog Nog was the lotion I wanted to most, but I'm definitely going to give it another go when I'm feeling better.

I think the thing that most people were concerned about was the texture and whether these lotions would be runny like the LUSH Kitchen ones always were or would they be thick? I can confirm that these lotions are the perfect consistency! They aren't runny, so much so that you can tip the pot upside down and no product will come out, but they're also not so thick that they're like a butter and you have to dig in to get product. I'm really impressed with the body lotions and I don't have a complaint at all!

Did you pick up any of the body lotions? If so, let me know what you think of them down in the comments!

♥ LUSH Exclusive Body Lotions!

I think we've all been waiting for this day, ever since the batch of exclusive shower gels were released and everyone had that little piece of the Kitchen back. I've definitely been waiting for the next release of exclusive products and I am very pleased with the decisions! The body lotion mystery started on the 1st of August when the LUSH Kitchen Instagram account posted a video of Mark saying, 'and now it's body lotions!' with a caption that ask people what they wanted. The requests came in thick and fast, there are over 3000 comments on that post! That's the most interaction that the LUSH Kitchen have had in a long time, as most of their posts barely reach 100 comments nowadays. Finally, after what felt like a life time of waiting, the scents have been released! I know that every single one of these scents was very highly requested and I already can't wait to get my hands on some tubs!

Let's dive into the products that will be emptying most of our bank accounts!

*Please note: the ingredients depicted in the images may not be in the final product, but the images should depict the scent based on other products within the same scent family.*

Pictured - Gardenia, Clove Bud and Ylang Ylang

Yog Nog

THIS is one of the lotions that I requested! I absolutely adore the Yog Nog scent and I would really like to see more products in this scent family. I feel like the Yog Nog scent is slowly dying out. If you have never smelt Yog Nog before, the combination of clove bud oil, ylang ylang and gardenia may sound like a floral combination, but it's very much not! Yog Nog smells like a creamy Christmas bakery! The scent has been in a couple of products, the bath bomb was gorgeous, although the bath art was nothing special, the liquid and solid perfumes sell on eBay for a ridiculous price and the shower roulade didn't really kick off well due to the format of the product. I'd say the only product that did really well was the soap as it also looks extra pretty! I don't feel like the products have done the scent justice, I think a body lotion would suit the creamy nutmeg scent very well. I also think this scent would be perfect in a shower gel or cream format too. I imagine that this lotion will be the first to sell out. I will definitely be buying a tub or two of this, it would be rude not to as I asked for it!

Pictured - Honey, Beeswax and Sweet Orange Oil

Noni I Washed the Kids

A Honey I Washed the Kids scented body lotion is another product that I have been pining for for a while and another one that I requested! LUSH have changed the game with this one a little bit, removing the honey from the ingredients list and using noni instead to make the product vegan for everybody to enjoy! Although I am pleased about the removal of honey, I really hope it doesn't effect the scent much. I am hoping that the scent of this lotion will be more like Scrubee and the soap, in oppose to It's Raining Men. This scent family is loved by many, I can see this lotion selling out very quick. A Noni I Washed the Kids will definitely be getting added to my basket!

Pictured - Nettle, Avocado and Cocoa Butter

Avocado No Wash

I'm not surprised to see Avocado No Wash on the list. I feel like this is a scent that most Lushies are just falling in love with due to their only being one product in store with the scent and following the release of the shower gel, everybody has gone mad for it! I really like the scent, I had tried it in the original form of the co-wash but I found it done nothing for my hair, so I love being able to get my Avocado Wash fix in a different format. I think the scent in a body lotion would be perfect for the spring time, the gorgeous sweetie scent is so uplifting and fresh. If you didn't manage to grab yourself a bottle of the shower gel and are curious about the scent, pop into your local LUSH and give Avocado Co-Wash a sniff, it's amazing! Yet another lotion that will be coming home to me!

Pictured - Aloe Vera, Lime Oil and Neroli

Calacas

It's no secret that Calacas is one of my all time favourite scents, the sweet lime fragrance gets me everytime! I think every Lushie has tried something Calacas scented, if you liked Monsters Ball or Man in the Moon, you'll like the lotion! If you didn't already know, Calacas body lotion has been released previously, due to a high popular request for it, so I already have a tub. I wouldn't say it's my favourite Calacas scented product ever, because it smells quite watery, however, this lotion was created back in the days when the LUSH Kitchen were churning out brand new products on a daily basis. It's not new news that the products weren't perfect and were sometimes rushed due to demand, so I expect that this batch will smell a lot better. I'm very torn on whether to purchase a tub or not due to that reason. I would be very annoyed if I missed out and this batch smelt as strong as the shower gel but I would be equally as disappointed if I purchased a tub and it was the same as my other. I think Calacas will be added to the maybe pile.

Pictured - Cocoa Butter, Bergamot and Cocoa Powder

Yuzu & Cocoa

I actually can't believe it has taken LUSH this long to release a Yuzu & Cocoa body lotion in the UK. It missed out marginally the first time we were asked what scents we would like to see made into lotions back in the good old days of the Kitchen and was never created, despite them making Maypole, which wasn't a winner either. The Japanese Kitchen made a batch and they sold very well, some people from the UK and NA managed to get tubs for themselves, but the extra fees were ridiculous! I think Yuzu & Cocoa will be a big seller, there are no products left in stores that carry this scent due to the shower cream and the bubbleroon being discontinued and I know that this scent is very much loved. I won't be picking up a tub of Yuzu & Cocoa as it's really not a favourite of mine. I have a 100g bottle that is about two years out of date that I never ever reach for, so I know I won't reach for the lotion.

Pictured - Patchouli, Vanilla Pod and Black Pepper Oil

Lord of Misrule

Another beautiful scent that would be perfect in a body lotion! I own the Lord of Misrule body conditioner and it it one of my most treasured possessions. I am so pleased that LUSH are releasing this scent in a lotion as I multi-purpose my body conditioner for lotion also, which means that the tub is getting less and less. Now I can double up on the scent and still have plenty of product left! It goes without saying that I'll be picking up a tub of this gorgeous vanilla, patchouli and black pepper combination! Lord of Misrule is one of my go to scents and is one of the bath bombs I try and stock up on as I adore having a good LOM bath!

Pictured - Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter

Butterball

I can't believe that they are making this gorgeous, creamy chocolate scent into a body lotion! Again, I have the body conditioner in this scent and I adore it! I always pushed the Butterball scent to the side as I find the bath bomb and Butterbear rather boring as I am all about the bath art, but I grabbed the body conditioner when I saw the chance and I am so pleased I did. It made me fall in love with the scent. I managed to grab a shower gel too, but that I'm not so impressed with as the cocoa butter is quite chunky and very much resembles a wet bowel movement when you try to use it. However, consistency issues aside, it does smell beautiful and I can only imagine that the body lotion is going to smell just as good! I will definitely be purchasing a tub of Butterball and I can't wait to cover myself head to toe in it!

Pictured - Dried Sultanas, Oilbanum Oil and Dried Cranberries

Sultana

Again, I'm not surprised that Sultana is being made into a body lotion as it is another very loved scent that will make a lot of people happy. Sultana is one of LUSH's oldest scents, being the scent of Blackberry bath bomb which was the oldest surviving bath bomb up until it's discontinuation last year. I have never been a fan of the scent, I wasn't keen on Blackberry and I didn't like the scent of the soap. I did purchase a bottle of the shower gel, purely for FOMO! I didn't want to not purchase a bottle and then somehow fall in love with the scent and not be able to get one. I didn't fall in love with the scent, I still don't like it very much so I won't be getting myself a tub of Sultana.

Pictured - Tonka, Cocoa Butter and Fresh Strawberries

Yummy Mummy

This is a product that a lot of people have been waiting for. After the chaos around the Mothers Day release last year and everybody getting on their high horse about the body conditioner not being released, I'm surprised that they haven't made this quicker. Yummy Mummy is another very loved scent that I'm not fond of. I have a 250ml bottle of the shower cream and a Peeping Santa stored away, but it's not a scent that I reach for often nor ever crave. I think Yummy Mummy is going to be another popular product, especially due to LUSH not releasing the shower cream this Mothers Day and having no Kitchen release like we would have expected in previous years. I won't be picking up a pot as I don't think I'd ever reach for it.

Pictured - Honey, Vanilla Pod and Fresh Strawberries

American Cream

And yet another lotion that I am not surprised is making it's way online! Anything American Cream scented sells out fast, the lotion always sold out quick in past Kitchen releases, American Pie never stuck around for very long and the shower gel went out of stock sharpish a couple of months ago. I still have my original pot of American Cream body lotion from my first ever LUSH Kitchen order way back when. I use it so super sparingly as I don't want to be without it! I would love to pick up another tub but I just don't know if I can justify it as I already have a tub. I know I am saying this now, and when they're released I'll purchase ten, but humour me! The lotion I have still smells as good as the day I bought it, the perfect creamy scent of fresh strawberries, vanilla and honey. My ultimate favourite scent that LUSH have ever created!

What do you think of the lotion choices? Did any that you requested make the final cut? What do you plan to treat yourself to when they become available? Let me know down in the comments below!
