A LUSH Winter Limited Edition Range Worth Celebrating! @lushuae



At LUSH, we put a great deal of effort, along with a little LUSH magic, into our seasonal ranges.
To mark the launch of the much awaited Limited edition winter range, Lush team in the UAE put together a little performance to get guests in festive spirits. The Unique presentation explained the range while entertaining guests with light hearted humour, The Lush way!
Press members had the opportunity to try out the range and experience some festive magic.
The Range will be in all Lush store worldwide as of October 2013.
This year’s winter Limited edition range sees some exciting new developments worth celebrating – the replacement of plastic glitter with agar jelly stars and shapes and edible lustres, and we are working towards removing preservatives completely.  Our two new luxurious limited edition hand and body lotions are 100% unpreserved, (a patent applied for innovation) as are most of our other products. Our festive range also contains some of our all year-round popular fragrances, so if you fall in love with a limited edition winter product you will still be able to enjoy something similar for the rest of the year.
The Winter Limited edition  Range
Bath Ballistics
Invented by Mo Constantine OBE in 1987.  The Bath Ballistic is often imitated, but none compare to the original.  Each one is formulated with the finest ingredients and essential oils to cleanse both the mind and body.  This Christmas, instead of glitter we have added popping candy, edible lustres and agar jelly stars and shapes for spectacular bathing. Simply drop into a ready run, warm bath and watch as it fizzes around the tub with abandonment, emitting its goodness into the water.
NEW       Bombardino (28 aed) … Alpine Indulgence
Bombardino shares its name with a beverage enjoyed in the Italian Alps and smells of rich lemon cheesecake.  We’ve added cocoa butter to soften the skin; whilst Sicilian lemon oil and Fair Trade vanilla absolute (the first Fair Trade absolute in the world!) give your bath a sweet and delicious fragrance.
NEW Lord of Misrule (36 aed) … Strange & Magnificent
Featuring Fair Trade vanilla absolute, the world’s first Fair Trade absolute, mixed with spicy black pepper oil and soothing patchouli.  Allow this ballistic to slowly dissolve in your bath to reveal a wine coloured centre.  The crown shape around the ballistic is the party hat that the tradition of the Lord of Misrule inspired centuries ago. Popping candy represents the party atmosphere that he would have created during his rule over a period of winter merriment.
NEW Luxury Lush Pud (37 aed) … Calorie Free Comfort
For a soothing and calming bath, this year Lush Pud has gone all luxury with colourful polka dots that float to the surface making pastel islands in the water.  A relaxing bath treat made with the comforting lavender and ylang ylang scent of Twilight – perfect for a bath before bedtime.
NEW Secret Santa (55 aed) … Cheeky Santa Surprise
Modelled on the original LUSH shop, 29 High Street in Poole, this double-layered ballistic is scented with soothing sandalwood, zesty lime and beautiful floral oils to emulate the iconic fragrance of our shops.  Watch your bath water turn a bright orange and don’t miss the jolly red fellow inside!  This one is great value for money, as its three baths in one!
NEW Shoot for the Stars (36 aed) … Night Time Enchantment
Uplifting Brazilian orange oil, clarifying bergamot and the creamy scent of honey will deeply relax you in the bath.  Shoot for the Stars creates an out of this world, enchanting bath as the stars inside whizz and swirl about the bathwater, leaving you submerged in clouds of colour. Fragranced with Honey I Washed the Kids – our best selling soap.
NEW LOOK      Snowman (28 aed) … A Big Softy
Pop this ballistic into a warm bath for a nourishing and softening soak. The simple vanilla and cheeky ylang ylang fragrance helps you warm up for winter and the cocoa butter chunks dissolve to moisturise your skin.  This is the Christmas version of all year round, Butterball bath ballistic.
Cinders (27 aed) … Warm By The Fireside
Cinders ballistic invokes the feeling of a warm, glowing fireside; made with warming cinnamon leaf oil and sweet orange oil to lift the spirits. Popping candy tops it all off, to emulate that comforting sound of a crackling open fire, while you relax in the bath.  Vegan
Golden Wonder (39 aed) … A Wonder to Behold

So White (36aed) … The Fairest of Them All
As pure as freshly fallen snow. So White has a delicate pink centre, which un-folds as the white outer layer gently dissolves.  The fresh, apple inspired scent snuggles you under the blanket of soft foamy bubbles.  Relax as neroli oil uplifts the mind and beautiful rose absolute softens the skin.  Vegan
Father Christmas (38 aed) … Ho, Ho, Ho!
Drop this festive chap into your bathtub and marvel as he fizzes around turning the water from bright red to vivid green.  He fills your tub with a zingy, fruity, uplifting fragrance of mandarin oil, bergamot oil and orange blossom absolute.  Not only are these oils stimulating for the mind, but they’re also toning for the skin, helping to banish the winter blues and induce feelings of goodwill to all.  Vegan
Bubble Bars
Invented by Helen Ambrosen in 1998, bubble bars are a solid alternative to bubble bath that are unpreserved and packaging free.  Using a simple base of tartar and sodium bicarbonate, all sorts of essential oils and fresh ingredients are added to create the solid bubble bar slices we know and love.  To use, simply crumble under warm running water to create masses and masses of luxurious, softening, film star bubbles.  The Bubble Bath is back!  Patented.
NEW       The Christmas Penguin (32 aed) … P-P-Pop in the Penguin!
Crumble this fun fellow under running water for a bath scented with refreshing orange flower absolute and Sicilian mandarin oil and masses of white bubbles to build glaciers with!  This bubble bar was inspired by the smallest penguins in the world, which are blue and from Philip Island in Australia.
If you fall in love with the Christmas Penguin then don’t worry, you can get The Olive Branch shower gel all year through with the same exotic scent.
NEW LOOK Candy Mountain (29 aed) … Sugar Sweet Treat

FUN
A multi-purpose product for washing your hair and body with; for masses of fragrant bubbles in the bathtub; or for just having fun with by moulding it into different shapes … the fun just goes on and on!  10p from each bar sold also goes into a FUNd for children’s charities in Japan affected by the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster.   Invented by Mo Constantine OBE for her grandchildren. Patent applied for.
NEW Golden FUN (55 aed) … Christmas Fun time
A new bar of FUN for Christmas, with a gold lustre and scented with the best-selling Honey I Washed the Kids fragrance.  Comforting sweet wild orange oil, uplifting bergamot oil and softening cornflour make this bar of FUN the ideal fun-filled, feel-good gift.

Bath Melts
LUSH invented solid bath oils in 1999 and named them, quite simply, Bath Melts.  Molten almond oil and Fair Trade cocoa butter form the heart of this bath time treat and really moisturise, soothe, soften and plump up the skin, leaving it silky smooth.  Bath Melts are one of the most luxurious things you can put in the bath. Immersing yourself in beautiful, emulsifying and wonderfully fragranced butters is like luxuriating in a bath of moisturiser.
NEW Star Light Star Bright (35 aed) … Bathe in Starlight
Softening cocoa and shea butter moisturise the skin while extra virgin coconut oil deeply hydrates.  Refreshing ginger and zesty lime oil inspire positivity and will give you an extra spark during dreary winter months.

Soaps
LUSH has been manufacturing luxury handmade soaps since the mid 1980s. In a deliberate move away from truly mass commercial soaps, LUSH has perfected the technique of making solid soap by hand using the “pouring” method.  In 2007 Mo Constantine OBE helped to invent a palm oil free soap base – so not only are LUSH soaps not made with any animal fats, they also help to save the rain forests.  This base is available for any manufacturer who would like to use it.
NEW Orange Jelly (37 aed for 100g) … Zesty and Fresh
This soap is orange, pure and simple.  It has freshly squeezed orange juice, toning Brazilian orange oil and topped off with fresh orange slices preserved in seaweed-based jelly.  A summery uplifting scent, just what you need in the middle of winter!

Angel’s Delight (35 aed for 100g) … Just Heavenly
This annual favourite is back with the same jelly baby scent that you know and love!  Angel’s will swoon for all the pink sparkly stars and moons that are embedded in this soap and it’s the tangerine and orange oils, along with blackcurrant that give it its yummy fragrance.  These oils also really work to cleanse, refresh and detox the skin.  Vegan

Shower Gels

Body Care …
In winter, we need extra moisture to help retain the skin’s elasticity and smooth texture.  One of the most important things for your skin is to keep it gently stimulated and maintain a healthy circulation.  By doing this you’ll encourage the elimination of toxins, ensure a healthy turnover of cells and stimulate muscle tone.  This year we have a selection of festive unpreserved body care products to help you keep your skin in tip-top condition, softened and fragranced beautifully too.

Skin Care …
Everyday when you face the world it can be rather unkind.  Dirt, grime, and pollution … it all collects on your epidermis and pores.  You may not see it, but it’s there.  Cleansing your face is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself; especially if you’re using one of our gentle inventionsMo Constantine OBE excels in these beautiful formulas, which are greatly valued, especially during the festive season, when our skin can suffer from late nights and all sorts of indulgences.
We offer seasonal facial cleansers to offer your skin a little bit of some special TLC that it might need over the festive season.  In the New Year, once the excess of Christmas is a thing of the past, choose from our range of year round cleansing rolls; including: Angels on Bare Skin; Dark Angels; Aqua Marina; or Herbalism.
Let the Good Times Roll cleansing roll (64 aed for 100g) … Scrubs and Softens
An exfoliating cleanser for the face and body, to softly scrub dry winter skin and moisturise at the same time.  Delicately cleansing maize flour, polenta and corn oil are all gently absorbent and can help to even out skin tone.  Talc enables the cleanser to glide easily over the skin, while glycerine acts as a humectant keeping the skin expertly nourished and moisturised, which means this one is especially good for dry skin (a common complaint during the winter months).  Crushed popcorn garnishes this rolled cleanser.  Skin will be left softened, soothed and ever so slightly warmed by the cinnamon powder, which can help with circulation.  Vegan
Bûche de Noël cleansing roll (65 aed for 100g) … Gentle and Nourishing
This cleansing roll is food for your face, containing lots of softening and nourishing ingredients to care for any skin type during the winter months.  With ground almonds to gently exfoliate the skin; dried cranberries and fresh satsumas to tone and brighten; nutritious almond oil to soften; and cocoa butter to act as an emollient.  Helps lock in moisture and keep skin soft against the cold.  Wrapped in a sheet of nori seaweed, it resembles a festive Yule Log.   Vegan
Our Fresh facemasks are made daily by hand, with fresh natural ingredients.  They contain no preservatives and are made with whole fruits and vegetables and the finest essential oils.  They are so fresh they have to be kept in the fridge and used within 3 weeks!
Cold weather and central heating can cause skin to dry out, so using facemasks is a good way to replenish moisture and get vitamins and nutrients directly onto your face.  Inventor and co-Founder Helen Ambrosen comments:  “They will deliver fresh ingredients directly onto the skin to work their magic, giving you an effective way to naturally protect against aging.  Facemasks containing clays such as kaolin will help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.”  So great to use before the Christmas party for a temporary natural lift!
NEW Rudolph fresh facemask (55 aed) … soothes red noses.

A soothing, nourishing mask to calms skin from the cold.  Fresh cucumber and aloe vera gel reduce redness, fine oatmeal nourishes, calamine powder soothes.  Organic lavender oil balances the skin and green tea powder has antioxidant properties to help fight free radicals.
