Lush Kitchen UK: 1st Order


Hey you guuuuuuyyyyssss >said in my best Sloth accent< It's not a Baby Ruth, but it is an equally addicting thing.... The Lush Kitchen. This is my virgin voyage into that wee hour of the morning insanity. Now, if you know me, I DO NOT wake in the wee hours of the morning for anything other than a fire or family emergency or nightmares from my littles. But I am up at 6am and anything left over in the Lush Kitchen is fair game after that. The Lush Kitchen opens at 8am UK time via the Lush UK Kitchen. Here they make limited edition runs of discontinued favorites and sometimes brand new products. New items come out Monday through Friday and are made really fresh. Liz, NotoriousLiz_54 on Instagram, posts a Lush Kitchen menu for each week of what to expect. She enabled me. I mean, how long can I look at those beautiful collages before I cave? It was only a matter of time. 


My first Lush Kitchen purchases included: Hot Toddy shower gel, Christmas Kisses bubble bar, and Three Gold Rings bubble bar. I did not receive any samples, though most people do even when not requested. But you can bet yer biscuits I will be requesting samples in the future. (Although I have already placed a second order which should be coming soon).


Hot Toddy was around a few years ago at Christmas I believe. This has a dry cinnamon bark and cloves scent that will be quite invigorating during cold snaps. Look at that glitter. This was 11.25 pounds, which is roughly $16.


Three Rings bubble bar features an exotic blending of myrrh and vanilla that I knew I would swoon over. And I do. It smells woody, golden and dripping like opium a bit. This was 3.95 pounds, or about $5.50ish. 


Christmas Kisses bubble bar holds a hefty amount of spiced patchouli inside. Yummmmmmm. Like a hippy's dream. There also seems to be a bit of citrus. Mostly cinnamon and patchouli though. This one was also 3.95 pounds. 


That glitter. 

Have you ordered from the Kitchen? What samples do you request?

  1. As soon as I saw Hot Toddy I was all "WANT!" Then I saw that glitter. And you know what's really funny? I've been using the Snow Fairy shower gel that I got and never knew there were sparkles in there too. When I grabbed the second bottle to set it in the shower, I noticed. I'm not sparkly so I guess it rinses away cleanly, huh?

    1. I think you just might like this scent! I noticed the glitter in Twilight, Beautiful and Snow Fairy shower gels never linger on me but some of the bath bombs certainly do! Hooooooo!

  2. How does it work as far as shipping and customs and all that? I wanted to order something but not sure about shipping costs. In your experience, were you charged any additional costs after your order was processed? Thanks

    1. Hi Kerry! There are no customs charges when ordering from overseas to US (but shipping from US to UK there is). If you keep your order on the small size it will be about 7.95 pounds which is roughly $11.50. But it can sky rocket if the order is large. :-) Have fun and let me know if you order. Thank you for stopping by! Nice to meet you.

  4. Hot Toddy!! Yum!
    Now that I'm starting to look at that stuff I can't order. Overseas postal carriers can't ship to APO addresses and I already feel bad with how much stuff I've had my parents forward to me from their address. I think they're going to have to set up a "Shipping Luxury Items To Liz" GoFundMe at this rate :P

    1. Oh boo! Well if you see anything you might want let me know, I can try for it too. But I am trying to behave and use up what I have obtained first. So much Lush!!!!
