Get in the mood for Valentine’s day with LUSH

Get in the mood for love with this collection of new LUSH creations especially for Valentine’s Day!

This year sees a fun and quirky take on Valentine’s Day, with inspiration ranging from romantic love songs written in neon and Adam and the Ants, to Tom Cruise’s Hawaiian shirt in Cocktail!

We wanted to make our Valentine’s collection shareable, or just last longer for one, so we’ve made the products bigger than ever, but still lovingly made by hand with the same high quality ingredients and essential oils.

Introducing:

1- Love Locket bath bomb … Unlock pure luxury

The Love Locket was inspired by the kind of heart-shaped locket you wear as a necklace, perhaps with a secret photograph of a loved one inside. Like any love locket, you need to unlock the bath bomb to reveal the secret hidden within. Crack your locket in half, to unveil the hidden heart in the centre.

The outside of the locket is full of paper hearts that will float out onto the surface of the water, while the hidden heart inside is laden with agar hearts to create a spectacular bath time display. Use each half and the inner heart individually (so three baths in total), or throw it all in the bath tub at once for a really decadent bath, enough to get any heart aflutter. The brand new fragrance is made from some of our most luxurious essential oils: Fairtrade vanilla absolute, neroli oil and jasmine absolute are blended to create a sweet, sensual and uplifting indulgent bath time.

2- Neon Love soap … Fresh and fruity

Inspired by 12 Months of Neon Love, a collaboration between artists Victoria Lucas and Richard William Wheater, beginning on Valentine’s Day 2011 and ending on Valentine’s Day 2012. The art featured lyrics from well-known love songs, in huge neon writing!

This huge heart shaped soap, emblazoned with the word ‘Love’, is scented with a brand new fragrance of bergamot, rosewood and cinnamon leaf oil and packed full of fresh ingredients, such as fresh figs, passion fruit juice and soya yoghurt to nourish and soften the skin. Hiding inside are plenty of little white hearts to ensure every slice looks as beautiful and romantic as it smells.

The rosewood oil used in this soap comes from a project set up with funding from the Sustainable Lush Fund (S-Lush), where 2% of our annual buying spend is invested back into initiatives. With money from S-Lush, we bought the rights to a 6000 hectare forest concession deep in the Amazon, to stop loggers from further deforestation. Working with local communities, we found the land to be full of rosewood trees and over the past few years we’ve worked with the locals on the ground there to set up a sustainable supply of rosewood oil, with their own distillation machinery to enable them to produce the oil on site. So far we’ve received over 100 kilos of rosewood oil from this source.

3- Close To You massage bar … Melt your heart

This smooshable massage bar was inspired by the humble jammy dodger. As you peek through the heart shaped hole on top of the bar you can see into the sumptuous white fondant centre.

Made with a luxurious blend of butters and oils, including cupuaçu butter, shea butter and olive oil, this rich bar shares the same delicious vanilla fragrance as in Rock Star soap and Creamy Candy bubble bar. Guaranteed to bring someone special Close to You!

4- Prince Charming shower gel … Happily ever after

A shower gel made for princesses and for anyone who needs a Prince Charming in their life! This sweet-scented, neon pink shower gel is fit for royalty.

Marshmallow root and Fair Trade vanilla pod decoction forms the base, giving a very soothing experience, boosted by nourishing almond oil and cleansing, cooling and astringent fresh pomegranate juice. Prince Charming has a new fragrance of organic sandalwood, geranium and grapefruit essential oils to sweep you off your feet and leave you skin silky soft and smelling lovely.

Inspiration for this came from Prince Charming by Adam and the Ants, to make you feel dashing and decadent.

5- Tender is the Night massage bar … Soft and sensual

Tender is the Night returns this year with a new look. Inspired by Blur’s song Tender and 1920’s author F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel of the same name, this sensual and sexy massage bar has swapped its soft centre for a solid blend of softening shea butter and murumuru butter, with a larger surface area and pink flower on top. This bar is cocoa butter free and contains an intoxicating blend of jasmine, ylang ylang and Fair Trade vanilla essential oils and absolutes.

Tender is the Night massage bar will be joining the all year round range.

Returning Favourites:

The Kiss tinted lip balm … Shine and allure

This preservative free tinted lip balm gives a touch of colour to the lips without needing a mirror. A delightfully whipped up mixture of luxury humectant butters such as Fair Trade shea and cupuacu, with a very tasty organic agave syrup to easily smooth into the skin leaving a high shine finish, boosted by PET free sparkles.

Organic mandarin and almond essential oils create an uplifting fragrance and moreish taste, making every kiss unforgettable. To give your lips a little something extra, we also added guarana seed powder, a natural lip plumper to make your pout irresistible.
