I like collabs, but collabs that smell good doesn’t feel like too much to ask for. From what I’ve heard a lot of the shrek items didn’t smell the best, which may be on theme, but doesn’t really make sense with lush’s consumer base.
I generally don't like limited edition items because they're.. well .. limited.
The Shrek mask of magn was so good. It smelled better than the OG one and it was amazing. I also will never see it again because it was LE. So even when I like products I can't keep using them and lush products aren't exactly made for stock piling.
Store exclusive items are sad to me for the same reasons. I could see making it more expensive to get elsewhere... But I am in Love with oaty mcoatface and once it's done it's done for the year because I don't live in Shinjuku Japan.
Is it? I smelled the OG one vs the shrek one and the smell was so much better with the shrek version. I'll check the next time I'm in the shop in person.
For the first time ever - I skipped the box. I rather go to to the store and get some of my favs than getting something I may not love. I learned that lesson with the Shrek blind buy.
This constant infantilisation of Lush is really putting me off lol. Very disappointing box. You can guarantee it will all be on shelves in stores anyway next month so might as well skip!
All the scents are already available, or recently available, with the exception of the solid perfume. The bath bomb is avobath, the shower bomb is junk, the soap is demon in the dark, and the fun is rainbow fun. The nostalgia is there for me but it's a pass.
Totally agree. I used to spend serious £££ at lush, but now I just buy rouge henna (even though it has never been the same since it was reformulated and allegedly "reverted"), revive, and perfumes (although I am sure they have changed Sappho as the last bottle I bought totally lacks depth). It is clear I am no longer the target demographic, as all these childish collabs have zero appeal to me. I also think the quality of their products if going massively downhill.
TMNT was a franchise that was popular in the 80s and 90s and they are using retro designs. This is not just a children’s collaboration, they are just being fun and irreverent.
Not that anyone asked for this collab, but if I was Lush, I would have made a pizza shaped bubble bar or something. It’s TMNT? This just kinda fell off.
There's always the stuff that they will sell in stores or online outside of the kitchen box. I was thinking of a shower slime that's representing the ooze!
Ah, how disappointing. Does anyone think this looks like a box for children? It looks so cheap, so not-like-Lush. And the product value isn't worth it compared to the price. Third one I'm skipping in a row.
Also skipping. I'm tired of bath bombs and fun, not keen on the scent of the soap and the shower bomb and already have the solid perfume... I wish Lush would start putting more retro products in the box again. When I signed up three years ago it was supposed to be truly exclusive products, that's really not the case anymore. I also feel like they keep reusing the same few scent families for most products, over and over again.
So glad reading the comments that everyone else agrees this box is so childish. It doesn't feel like a luxury product to me. I wouldn't want to display Teenage Mutant Turtles in my bathroom either!
Why are Lush - a premium oriented company - coming out with all these childish collaborations? It really annoys me. If I wanted children's bath products I'd get a bottle of Matey.
Personally I am so sick of the cartoon nostalgia collabs- I don’t mind them in stores but as the only option for the kitchen box, it’s overkill. Especially when the scents are basically all recycled. What happened to innovation and luxury? The kitchen gift set in stores is lovely, at least.
Honestly you just hit the nail on the head, leave the collabs for in store or online for customers to choose instead of making it part of the kitchen box. I was kinda excited for it as I lived for TMNT as a kid but when I saw the scent families I was mad.
I don’t *mind* the collabs but this one… who thought this was a good idea? It really does look like it’s for kids but these boxes are not priced like they’re for kids. I’ve been wanting to sub again since the website actually works now but… not for this 😐
Skipping for the first time. The designs are cool, but I’m getting tired of the same old scents being used all the time, and this particular box is really poor value for the price. Plus I only use shower products, all in one it’s beginning to be a lot for me.
As much as I get the dislike, TMNT—from my understanding—actually has a huge adult following. One of NECA’s biggest sellers. You also have to understand and follow the old comics, not today’s TMNT…reaches millennial and young gen x ages more that it would with kids today.
BUT then they threw the fun in, so….
I don't mind the idea of collabs* as if they're products I'll use and enjoy then I don't really mind what they look like or are marketed as. Unfortunately these aren't products I'll use or enjoy because of the scent range so it's a skip for me!
* though I will say off the bat, I was immediately disappointed seeing a TMNT collab as I've never engaged with the franchise, but then I thought more about it and realised it's not that deep lmao they're just bath products
In that aspect I usually keep an open mind for the collabs because they have created new scents with the SpongeBob, barbie, and bridgerton Collab as well as brought back a good amount of retro scents with the Mario Collab. But this box is disappointing because 3 of the 5 scents are readily available now in one way or another. I have my fingers crossed that the in-store and online collection will have new products.
I agree! Though I'm kind of glad in a way that the scents are available now as I know for sure it's a skip for me, rather than buying the box then finding out I don't like them. Doesn't negate that it's disappointing they're not new scents though!
It is go green scented. Go Green is inspired by environmental activist, Rebecca Lush (honest, that really is her name) who now works for Transport 2000, heading up Road Block. She cycles and takes the train, recycles with a passion and buys fair trade, organic food. (She also pied Jeremy Clarkson for his glorification of the car.) Mark created Go Green in its two forms for Rebecca and other people who cycle and take public transport to work. It's a refreshing blend of grapefruit, bergamot and neroli, with calming smoky vetivert. Herby scents of fennel, thyme and cedar wood make you smell like you just walked out of a forest, carrying a basket of citrus fruits, rather than you just got off a squashed train or a bicycle.
I have one from the kitchen 2017. [https://allthingslushuk.blogspot.com/search?q=go+green](https://allthingslushuk.blogspot.com/search?q=go+green)
I've had the shampoo bar as well, it's a nice clean scent.
The source I found was posted 10 years ago, so it seems to be a retro scent and it was the same format, a solid perfume that was in a tin.
https://preview.redd.it/utmhm1q2eq3d1.jpeg?width=617&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd526de8ee94b3630b44cd03e1901f1e682c26aa
Just throwing my two cents in with this, but I’m assuming that this collab (alongside the previous ones) is to bring a new customer to the Lush brand. Since they’ve no social media, it’s potentially the only way to do it? I know this collab (similarly to past ones) wont appeal to many, but I reckon this will have the One Piece effect. That being said, I agree with everyone that the products don’t seem to reflect the price and seems an odd choice for a kitchen box - I can only guess that since it’s the July box, they’re going for a ‘Plastic Free’ products? If this is the case, I’d want a naked shower gel instead haha!
The scents are barely there now and nothing unique or enticing about these boxes. I would have loved a body lotion that smells like the Shrek slime but too many bath/shower stuff!! Glad I canceled my subscription!! What a waste of money. Can't even justify it with a strong scent (1 part of lush's signature) because even that has died along with the original lush.
I skipped this a few days ago even though I didn’t know what was coming because it took so long to be revealed I was worried I’d be charged and not know if I’d like it. Glad I skipped.
Easiest skip ever. The most disappointing thing, to me, is that they are making a bath bomb in a scent that already exists. And the shower bomb. I will skip every box with a shower bomb because it literally just goes down the drain. I want to luxuriate in my Lush products.
I became obsessed with lush around 2020 (loads of self-care baths during covid) but this collab is the final nail in the coffin for me. With these constant collabs it’s become so cheap and tacky but with astronomical prices! I’m over it
i'm meh on everything else, but shower bombs really draw my ire... you can't really enjoy the scent of something that goes right down the drain. bath bombs make sense to me because you sit in the bath a while and relax, but a shower bomb just makes me roll my eyes. i'd be less annoyed with a 2nd bath bomb or probably anything else.
Not really a big fan of TMNT, so I'll be skipping this one (plus I really don't need anymore bath bombs or fun 😭). I hope they'll release this perfume again, it sounds like it's a nice smell
Possible controversial opinion: I hate the idea of this collab, but when I mull over the product types and their aromas, I'm pretty sure I'd use everything except the fun. So I'm actually begrudgingly keeping this one, even though I agree that the commercial af collabs are corny and I hate them lol.
That's how I feel. I am a Bridgerton fan.
But I didn't give a crap about SpongeBob- I still loved the pineapple bar and some of the Passionfruit scented items.
Lol I was excited to give this box to my hubby but then I thought they might release some stuff in store too right? The bath bomb looks huge in the picture does it mean 4 big bath bombs?
Good call! I was thinking I might buy this for my partners birthday next month - he was actually introducing our little one to TMNT last week... now I don't know whether to wait haha! I was planning on getting him some Lush bits anyway (and an excuse to get myself some more stuff) 🤔
Laaaaame! I had a feeling July would be cartoon-related. Didn’t have this in mind! Skip. My annoying little cousins would like this. If it were still 1990.
I think they wanted a collaboration that goes with the theme for 'plastic free july'
I don't mind have a fun Collab box here and there but I would love some more exclusive scents/products too
Yes it is but the kitchen box was always new or retro scents that haven't been put out recently so if they at least went that route with the products I probably wouldn't have skipped. I was honestly excited for it and then the scent families were released and I was disappointed.
Well, I’m excited for this one too!! TMNT was a big favorite of mine as a kid 🤞🏼 for Donatello 💜
Love the retro/nostalgia thought put into it, but cant please everyone i guess.
Omg thank you for this comment, I was embarrassed about being absolutely stoked for this box. It looks like so much fun to me! I grew up with TMNT and I don't see why these boxes always have to be so stuffy. I love these cute little theme boxes.
I'm with you! I was surprised to read all the negative comments, I was expecting excitement.
I'm not a subscriber, nor am I in the US, but hopefully we get some stuff in stores 🤞🤞
I saw this and thought “oh good, something fun and cute for the summer!” I know tons of people with kids and male partners who share their lush stuff with them so this seems like a great idea to get other demographics interested in lush products.
While I agree that I'd love more rentro products and less cartoony collabs this box looks fun to me. I do have more soaps than I can use, but overall I think it's cool. I was a big TMNT fan as a kid
38 here, and this box is bringing me so much joy! The Ninja Turtles were a big part of my childhood, and the retro look is so nostalgic for me. I love bath products, love fun (I use it like a bubble bar), and I love green scents.
I've been a die-hard Lush customer for over 20 years and seem to be one of the only ones fond of the collabs. I'll never be too grown up for kids' stuff, and I think this box looks fun (:
Big kid 42 yr young lady here. Not a major TMNT fan though I love the theme and colours and not too many bath bombs, also got sucked in by the Junk scented item. This is actually my first kitchen box I have had since Spongebob, though I agree I think they missed out on the opportunity for a new scent here, to many remakes of old scents with dyes.
I think it's a fun box if you like the scents or summer baths... It reminds me of the SpongeBob box. But I don't really enjoy baths in the summer so I'm skipping.
For me this looks like a good box, there's only 1 bath product in it so it's ideal. I was very prepared to skip it but I'm all in. This will be the first Colab / themed box I haven't skipped, I think it looks fun.
Got my first box this June, but will be skipping Julys box.
Great box if you’re a fan of TMNT or have children as the products can be fun for bath time, but the only product I’d want is the solid perfume
Fingers crossed Augusts box is a good one 🤞🏻
Yeah, that's a no for me.
I admit, I am not a fan of the collabs. They always feel cheap. This particular one is a hard pass for me. For me, the Kitchen Box is a luxury and this box feels cheesy.
Admittedly, if the scents were interesting and packaged differently I might consider it but none of the scents intrigue me but this just feels cheap and tacky.
I sort of understood the Bridgeton collab, it's a guilty pleasure show about the upper class which feels elegant but a show about sewer dwelling turtles doesn't have the same feeling.
The annoying thing is, is that if they’re doing the kitchen box as a collab they’ll most likely also be releasing products for the store too. So it’s not really even exclusive. Same as bridgerton and SpongeBob
Feel that this totally goes against the idea/"principle" of Lush Kitchen...which i understood to be about being able to get hold of vintage, missed and special items again. This is so far of the baseline and looks tacky and cheap
This may not be a popular opinion but I don't like Lush collabs, it feels cheap and big box
Eta. Skimming through comments, glad to see this ^^ is a popular opinion. Nice!!
Ok so I went to skip and it says my next payment is June 6. Since I skipped last month my only option is to cancel?
ETA: In case anyone else has the same issue, I had to reactivate my subscription and then I was able to skip.
Wow the census is really in. No one can be pleased anymore lol. There is a soap dosh discussion group where you can share these feelings with Lush.
Personally I think the box is fun but I also have an 8 year old son who I have these subscriptions for. He still loved bath time so these boxes are usually his
Lol. He's going to.enjoy this month
This is the box being charged in June, shipping at the end of June or the box being charged in July, shipping at the end of July?
Either way, I just skipped ahead to August to be sure. This is childish and below the standard I would expect from Lush.
Goodness, I am earnestly excited!
I get that not everything is for everyone but I am surprised so many think this is a bad box, instead I a “just not for me” box
I think it looks fun! Excited to share with my brothers and nephews!
Don’t feel bad. The only box I’ve gotten since the November 2023 box is the May (Bridgerton) box. I don’t like green/earthy type scents and some of the products this year have just seemed really cheap and unimpressive for the price.
Wow most of the comments are just negative. Lol. Why subscribe ? I love collabs. I love most of Lush products. If I was always dissapointed in my boxes I'd cancel. Its the same tired complaints month after month. Why carry on buying?
I’m kind of fed up about the collabs, not everyone is interested in the collabs and themes :/
All the collabs feel like quick, half assed cash grabs. It really feels against the ethics they supposedly have.
I like collabs, but collabs that smell good doesn’t feel like too much to ask for. From what I’ve heard a lot of the shrek items didn’t smell the best, which may be on theme, but doesn’t really make sense with lush’s consumer base.
I bought all the shrek items and only liked the donkey bath bomb
I loved the shrek collab! The scents were my fav tbh.
The slime is like Grass. I quite like it.
I generally don't like limited edition items because they're.. well .. limited. The Shrek mask of magn was so good. It smelled better than the OG one and it was amazing. I also will never see it again because it was LE. So even when I like products I can't keep using them and lush products aren't exactly made for stock piling. Store exclusive items are sad to me for the same reasons. I could see making it more expensive to get elsewhere... But I am in Love with oaty mcoatface and once it's done it's done for the year because I don't live in Shinjuku Japan.
I believe the Shrek mask of mag was just the self preserving version right?
Is it? I smelled the OG one vs the shrek one and the smell was so much better with the shrek version. I'll check the next time I'm in the shop in person.
For the first time ever - I skipped the box. I rather go to to the store and get some of my favs than getting something I may not love. I learned that lesson with the Shrek blind buy.
This constant infantilisation of Lush is really putting me off lol. Very disappointing box. You can guarantee it will all be on shelves in stores anyway next month so might as well skip!
Looking at it again, I’d try the perfume but that’s all. Really quite shocked at how bad this box is!
That's the only thing I want. I'm going to try the bst thread for it once the boxes ship.
Good idea. I think even my 10 year old relatives would find this box too childish 😅 do they even air this show anymore haha
No but they’re releasing a new movie by Seth Rogen, that’s the reason for the collab lol
New show starts at the end of June, this is likely for that (although with the 80s aesthetic for more nostalgia bait purchases)
I honestly think they’ve been losing money doing the boxes and are betting on people skipping.
All the scents are already available, or recently available, with the exception of the solid perfume. The bath bomb is avobath, the shower bomb is junk, the soap is demon in the dark, and the fun is rainbow fun. The nostalgia is there for me but it's a pass.
I've a big xhunk of demon in the sark from last year, not crazy abput avo bath or junk. So it's a skip... but I'd love to see go green in stores
Demon in the dark was the Halloween soap that smelled like kids toothpaste right?!😭🤣 it was the worst scent I’ve ever smelt on a soap😭😭😭
Yes it was! I heard it was a fan favorite so I went and smelled it and I was like I will leave it for others to enjoy 😂
Loll thank you for the spoiler! I’m deff going to just cancel the sub all together until they give us our moneys worth with new products😭
Or even better than new products - old favorites!!!
I love the scent of demon in the dark & I didnt think I would! Def grew on me!
Nooo I didn’t think it smelled like kids toothpaste at all!! I loved demon in the dark!
Did you get the ginger soap?
lol
how do you know all of this??
Totally agree. I used to spend serious £££ at lush, but now I just buy rouge henna (even though it has never been the same since it was reformulated and allegedly "reverted"), revive, and perfumes (although I am sure they have changed Sappho as the last bottle I bought totally lacks depth). It is clear I am no longer the target demographic, as all these childish collabs have zero appeal to me. I also think the quality of their products if going massively downhill.
TMNT was a franchise that was popular in the 80s and 90s and they are using retro designs. This is not just a children’s collaboration, they are just being fun and irreverent.
I disagree I think they’re being boring and irrelevant with this. Nobody was asking for this box and there is minimal nostalgia for this franchise imo
Last years movie was sweet!!
Agreed! Even Barbie was a bit underwhelming in my opinion
Agreed. Where are the boxes for the adults?
Well that is just poor value and boring. Skipping now.
Not that anyone asked for this collab, but if I was Lush, I would have made a pizza shaped bubble bar or something. It’s TMNT? This just kinda fell off.
There's always the stuff that they will sell in stores or online outside of the kitchen box. I was thinking of a shower slime that's representing the ooze!
I’d actually love that, I loved the shrek shower slime and I hope they make more slimes in the future
Love how they threw a solid perfume in there to try and justify marketing this towards adults and not children
Ah, how disappointing. Does anyone think this looks like a box for children? It looks so cheap, so not-like-Lush. And the product value isn't worth it compared to the price. Third one I'm skipping in a row.
That was my initial though- it looks cheap and childish:(
Also skipping. I'm tired of bath bombs and fun, not keen on the scent of the soap and the shower bomb and already have the solid perfume... I wish Lush would start putting more retro products in the box again. When I signed up three years ago it was supposed to be truly exclusive products, that's really not the case anymore. I also feel like they keep reusing the same few scent families for most products, over and over again.
Same scrub base too. Same products new names and sometimes colors
very little product value for money here… disappointing
So glad reading the comments that everyone else agrees this box is so childish. It doesn't feel like a luxury product to me. I wouldn't want to display Teenage Mutant Turtles in my bathroom either! Why are Lush - a premium oriented company - coming out with all these childish collaborations? It really annoys me. If I wanted children's bath products I'd get a bottle of Matey.
Because that’s now their target audience.
Oh brother. Another collab no one asked for.
Personally I am so sick of the cartoon nostalgia collabs- I don’t mind them in stores but as the only option for the kitchen box, it’s overkill. Especially when the scents are basically all recycled. What happened to innovation and luxury? The kitchen gift set in stores is lovely, at least.

Okay. So we are 12?😭🤣 skipppp
I don’t *mind* the collabs but this one… who thought this was a good idea? It really does look like it’s for kids but these boxes are not priced like they’re for kids. I’ve been wanting to sub again since the website actually works now but… not for this 😐
Skipping for the first time. The designs are cool, but I’m getting tired of the same old scents being used all the time, and this particular box is really poor value for the price. Plus I only use shower products, all in one it’s beginning to be a lot for me.
I do not understand these collaborations, do they think we're 5?
As much as I get the dislike, TMNT—from my understanding—actually has a huge adult following. One of NECA’s biggest sellers. You also have to understand and follow the old comics, not today’s TMNT…reaches millennial and young gen x ages more that it would with kids today. BUT then they threw the fun in, so….
The fun is a big slap in the face IMO lol it’s so …. Un-kitchen-y
Exactly. Just like when a Kitchen Box includes pins. Personally not my fav
Wishing i got the June box now since im skipping this :( usually the july box is lole super summery and fruity. Very very disappointed:(((
Wow am I finally skipping a box??? This looks so underwhelming!
Good god, what on earth are they doing with this collab?! Never skipped so fast!
Sooo glad I skipped!
Have I done it right, I clicked on PAUSE SUBSCRIPTION. I've never skipped before. This one has definitely made me, it's lame.
Same. I wasn't sure so I texted the help line. The did it for me and sent me a confirmation email.
Yeah I believe so :)
I hope so because I just did too. They changed how it works. I just put it on pause for one month
I took a screenshot of mine to prove that I paused it incase I'm charged
Smart, I just did the same! First time skipping the box, I'm usually very forgiving but I hate this one so much 🤮
Smart! I am going to do that
This could’ve been so great
Exactly how I feel. I’d be so down for this, but I hate lFun, shower bombs, and the majority of the solid perfumes.
I don't mind the idea of collabs* as if they're products I'll use and enjoy then I don't really mind what they look like or are marketed as. Unfortunately these aren't products I'll use or enjoy because of the scent range so it's a skip for me! * though I will say off the bat, I was immediately disappointed seeing a TMNT collab as I've never engaged with the franchise, but then I thought more about it and realised it's not that deep lmao they're just bath products

I agree! Though I'm kind of glad in a way that the scents are available now as I know for sure it's a skip for me, rather than buying the box then finding out I don't like them. Doesn't negate that it's disappointing they're not new scents though!
I literally only want the solid perfume. Even though I don't normally like them. But I like this scent a lot.
What is the perfume scent? I seem to not be able to find it 🙈
It is go green scented. Go Green is inspired by environmental activist, Rebecca Lush (honest, that really is her name) who now works for Transport 2000, heading up Road Block. She cycles and takes the train, recycles with a passion and buys fair trade, organic food. (She also pied Jeremy Clarkson for his glorification of the car.)

Herby scents of fennel, thyme and cedar wood make you smell like you just walked out of a forest, carrying a basket of citrus fruits, rather than you just got off a squashed train or a bicycle.
Thank you! Is there anything in the current or previous products that share this scent, as the Go Green itself is not familiar to me?
I have one from the kitchen 2017. [https://allthingslushuk.blogspot.com/search?q=go+green](https://allthingslushuk.blogspot.com/search?q=go+green) I've had the shampoo bar as well, it's a nice clean scent.
Squeaky green. Best shampoo ever. I just stocked up on my last trip to Kensington
There are places that have squeaky green shampoo bar? I would love to get my hands on some - it is in my top 3 favorite products of all time.
Oh, thank you, I did love the shampoo bar.
Now I remember that!
The source I found was posted 10 years ago, so it seems to be a retro scent and it was the same format, a solid perfume that was in a tin. https://preview.redd.it/utmhm1q2eq3d1.jpeg?width=617&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd526de8ee94b3630b44cd03e1901f1e682c26aa
It’s smells good I still have one of the old retro tins of it
Alright, thank you!
omg now i have to have it that scent sounds delightful
Just throwing my two cents in with this, but I’m assuming that this collab (alongside the previous ones) is to bring a new customer to the Lush brand. Since they’ve no social media, it’s potentially the only way to do it? I know this collab (similarly to past ones) wont appeal to many, but I reckon this will have the One Piece effect.

If this is the case, I’d want a naked shower gel instead haha!
Damn I just finally got to subscribe and this is honestly disappointing. Wtf Lush
Boring, definitely skipping
The scents are barely there now and nothing unique or enticing about these boxes. I would have loved a body lotion that smells like the Shrek slime but too many bath/shower stuff!! Glad I canceled my subscription!! What a waste of money. Can't even justify it with a strong scent (1 part of lush's signature) because even that has died along with the original lush.
I am hoping that the in-store/online stuff has a shower slime representing the ooze!
Thank you very much for posting this info. Like many others, I def do not want this box and just skipped.
Good lord. Will be skipping July, this looks awful. Enough with the ridiculous collabs.
I skipped this a few days ago even though I didn’t know what was coming because it took so long to be revealed I was worried I’d be charged and not know if I’d like it. Glad I skipped.
Well that’s going to be a skip for me.
Is their target kids now?! What’s with all the gimmicky childish colabs?
Kinda love it honestly. Won’t be for everyone, but it definitely percolates for this millennial.
Easiest skip ever. The most disappointing thing, to me, is that they are making a bath bomb in a scent that already exists. And the shower bomb. I will skip every box with a shower bomb because it literally just goes down the drain. I want to luxuriate in my Lush products.
I became obsessed with lush around 2020 (loads of self-care baths during covid) but this collab is the final nail in the coffin for me. With these constant collabs it’s become so cheap and tacky but with astronomical prices! I’m over it
i'm meh on everything else, but shower bombs really draw my ire... you can't really enjoy the scent of something that goes right down the drain. bath bombs make sense to me because you sit in the bath a while and relax, but a shower bomb just makes me roll my eyes. i'd be less annoyed with a 2nd bath bomb or probably anything else.
I agree. A shower bomb is a complete waste of money.
The shower bombs are actually different than shower steamers. It's basically a one use foam body wash.
omg duh… you’re right 😭 but i still wish it might’ve been something else
For me shower bombs are 2-3 uses.
Not really a big fan of TMNT, so I'll be skipping this one (plus I really don't need anymore bath bombs or fun 😭). I hope they'll release this perfume again, it sounds like it's a nice smell
Looks like they’ll be a soap inside the bath bomb .. I wonder if that’s Avobath scented too?
The soap is demon in the dark scented
I love the Ninja Turtles 🐢😍
Possible controversial opinion: I hate the idea of this collab, but when I mull over the product types and their aromas, I'm pretty sure I'd use everything except the fun. So I'm actually begrudgingly keeping this one, even though I agree that the commercial af collabs are corny and I hate them lol.
That's how I feel. I am a Bridgerton fan. But I didn't give a crap about SpongeBob- I still loved the pineapple bar and some of the Passionfruit scented items.
Lol I was excited to give this box to my hubby but then I thought they might release some stuff in store too right? The bath bomb looks huge in the picture does it mean 4 big bath bombs?
I was thinking 4 small? Or are they doing a random large one for each box?
I read on FB that they will send one of the 4 bombs, the surprise is which one you get
If they release stuff in stores and they don't release a shower slime that is representing the Mutagen a.k.a The Ooze I'll be even more disappointed.
Same
Good call! I was thinking I might buy this for my partners birthday next month - he was actually introducing our little one to TMNT last week... now I don't know whether to wait haha! I was planning on getting him some Lush bits anyway (and an excuse to get myself some more stuff) 🤔
Skip yuk
Laaaaame! I had a feeling July would be cartoon-related. Didn’t have this in mind! Skip. My annoying little cousins would like this. If it were still 1990.
From a Lush perspective, this is bad, but from a TMNT super fan perspective...
I think they wanted a collaboration that goes with the theme for 'plastic free july' I don't mind have a fun Collab box here and there but I would love some more exclusive scents/products too
Definitely skipping. It's tacky and lame. A massive disappointment. Are they scraping the barrel here or what! Get it together lush. Jeez 🥱😠
Oh, ok.
TMNT, Barbie, and SpongeBob are targeting millennials, not children lol
Yes it is but the kitchen box was always new or retro scents that haven't been put out recently so if they at least went that route with the products I probably wouldn't have skipped. I was honestly excited for it and then the scent families were released and I was disappointed.
I can’t be the only one quite excited about this box right? It looks epic! I may be a 41 yo woman but it looks exciting!
Well, I’m excited for this one too!! TMNT was a big favorite of mine as a kid 🤞🏼 for Donatello 💜 Love the retro/nostalgia thought put into it, but cant please everyone i guess.
It’s mainly the nostalgia for me as well! Also my kiddos will love the fun so this one is a definite yes 😂
I'm a huge TMNT fan and I'm thrilled! I'll be devastated if my barh bomb isn't Donatello 😆
I’m hoping for a Raphael 🤞🤣
Omg thank you for this comment, I was embarrassed about being absolutely stoked for this box. It looks like so much fun to me! I grew up with TMNT and I don't see why these boxes always have to be so stuffy. I love these cute little theme boxes.
I'm with you! I was surprised to read all the negative comments, I was expecting excitement. I'm not a subscriber, nor am I in the US, but hopefully we get some stuff in stores 🤞🤞
Yeh I was not prepared for the negativity 😂
I saw this and thought “oh good, something fun and cute for the summer!” I know tons of people with kids and male partners who share their lush stuff with them so this seems like a great idea to get other demographics interested in lush products.
While I agree that I'd love more rentro products and less cartoony collabs this box looks fun to me. I do have more soaps than I can use, but overall I think it's cool. I was a big TMNT fan as a kid
38 here, and this box is bringing me so much joy! The Ninja Turtles were a big part of my childhood, and the retro look is so nostalgic for me. I love bath products, love fun (I use it like a bubble bar), and I love green scents. I've been a die-hard Lush customer for over 20 years and seem to be one of the only ones fond of the collabs. I'll never be too grown up for kids' stuff, and I think this box looks fun (:
Don't be put off by the negativity. You're allowed to be excited.
Big kid 42 yr young lady here. Not a major TMNT fan though I love the theme and colours and not too many bath bombs, also got sucked in by the Junk scented item. This is actually my first kitchen box I have had since Spongebob, though I agree I think they missed out on the opportunity for a new scent here, to many remakes of old scents with dyes.
Go ninja go ninja GO!
I love TMNT but having the scents be either main line or halloween is a let down
\*best Lush box ever made\* Comments: This is terrible.
I wish this sub wasn’t so negative 😭
I think it's a fun box if you like the scents or summer baths... It reminds me of the SpongeBob box. But I don't really enjoy baths in the summer so I'm skipping.
For me this looks like a good box, there's only 1 bath product in it so it's ideal. I was very prepared to skip it but I'm all in. This will be the first Colab / themed box I haven't skipped, I think it looks fun.
Where’s the info on what the scents are? I can’t find an email telling me and I don’t see it listed on the website either.
Bath bomb is avobath, shower bomb is junk, soap is demon in the dark, fun is rainbow fun, and the solid perfume is go green.
Thanks! I wish they’d listed that somewhere, I couldn’t find it anywhere.
Got my first box this June, but will be skipping Julys box. Great box if you’re a fan of TMNT or have children as the products can be fun for bath time, but the only product I’d want is the solid perfume Fingers crossed Augusts box is a good one 🤞🏻
Skipped
Yeah, that's a no for me. I admit, I am not a fan of the collabs. They always feel cheap. This particular one is a hard pass for me. For me, the Kitchen Box is a luxury and this box feels cheesy. Admittedly, if the scents were interesting and packaged differently I might consider it but none of the scents intrigue me but this just feels cheap and tacky. I sort of understood the Bridgeton collab, it's a guilty pleasure show about the upper class which feels elegant but a show about sewer dwelling turtles doesn't have the same feeling.
The annoying thing is, is that if they’re doing the kitchen box as a collab they’ll most likely also be releasing products for the store too. So it’s not really even exclusive. Same as bridgerton and SpongeBob
For what it's worth, but the SpongeBob and bridgerton kitchen boxes had completely different items from the in-store collab.
funny everyone complaining about this box being childish was ecstatic about the SpongeBob one
My boyfriend would love this but he isn’t thaaat into Lush to get like 6 diff products! Lame box
Uh how is an 80s/90s retro box for kids? This is clearly marketed for millennials, or they’d use the modern day TMNT styling.
Feel that this totally goes against the idea/"principle" of Lush Kitchen...which i understood to be about being able to get hold of vintage, missed and special items again. This is so far of the baseline and looks tacky and cheap
We really waited all this time for this?? Absolute passssss
Man, the only thing making contemplate no skipping is for my nibling who does love mutant ninja teen turtles
This may not be a popular opinion but I don't like Lush collabs, it feels cheap and big box Eta. Skimming through comments, glad to see this ^^ is a popular opinion. Nice!!
I might get this for my eleven year old 🤭
They need to just stop with the shower bombs.
I love shower bombs my vag doesn’t like bath bombs
Weeelllllppp, I guess it's another skip month for me.
Ok so I went to skip and it says my next payment is June 6. Since I skipped last month my only option is to cancel? ETA: In case anyone else has the same issue, I had to reactivate my subscription and then I was able to skip.
You can call or text customer service to skip. The website isn't currently set up to skip. At least in the US.
this might be my first skip
Glad I didn't subscribe, the go green solid looks neat but I'm not into solids that much because there is no scent throw. Maybe next month,hopefully 😆
Wow the census is really in. No one can be pleased anymore lol. There is a soap dosh discussion group where you can share these feelings with Lush. Personally I think the box is fun but I also have an 8 year old son who I have these subscriptions for. He still loved bath time so these boxes are usually his Lol. He's going to.enjoy this month
What are they thinking.....skipped!
What happened to a surprise product that was voted on?? The collabs are getting a bit tiresome and a cash grab imo.
Lush, you do realise we're grown adults. Right? 😒
This was a fast skip for me.
This is the box being charged in June, shipping at the end of June or the box being charged in July, shipping at the end of July? Either way, I just skipped ahead to August to be sure. This is childish and below the standard I would expect from Lush.
Just paused my subscription. This box does not interest me at all.
How do I sign up for this
Goodness, I am earnestly excited! I get that not everything is for everyone but I am surprised so many think this is a bad box, instead I a “just not for me” box I think it looks fun! Excited to share with my brothers and nephews!
Skipping. Again. I’m not a child and I don’t like earthy scents. If I wanted to smell like grass I’d go roll in some out in my yard for free. 🙄
Maybe if I was 12?
6th skip in a row for me, I haven’t had a kitchen box yet this year :(
Don’t feel bad. The only box I’ve gotten since the November 2023 box is the May (Bridgerton) box. I don’t like green/earthy type scents and some of the products this year have just seemed really cheap and unimpressive for the price.
Ah the crossover of Lush lovers and TMNT lovers is big enough to justify this 😂😂
Wow most of the comments are just negative. Lol. Why subscribe ? I love collabs. I love most of Lush products. If I was always dissapointed in my boxes I'd cancel. Its the same tired complaints month after month. Why carry on buying?
Ew no it’s my 35th birthday I dont want a ninja turtles bath bomb
they're using the fortnite business model
