LUSH, the British cosmetic shop that produces superbly fragrant soaps, bath bombs, shampoos and other beauty and health products, finally has brought the Super Mario Bros collaboration to the Philippines. We reported about this back in March in anticipation for the now critically-acclaimed Super Mario Bros movie by Nintendo and Illumination. And while the collaboration wasn’t released locally back then, we can finally know what Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach of even Bowser would smell like — or at least what I think they would smell like.
The collection consists of shower gels, bath bombs, a shower jelly, and a fragrance spray.
Mama Mia!
Be the superhero of your bath time with the Mario-themed Shower gel rich in cola scent and infused with Persian Lime Oil or a budding sidekick infused with a healthy dose of Brazilian Orange Oil, Neroli, and fresh Apple Juice through the Luigi shower gel. Regardless of which one you choose, get ready for one bubbly bath time adventure (or mis adventure) with these two.
The Mario and Luigi Shower Gels are priced at Php 895 for 110ml bottle, Php 1650 for 280ml, and Php 2295 for a 560ml bottle.
Power-up Your Bath Time
If you’re more into soapy bath bombs, the LUSH x Mario Question Boxes might be adventure you’re looking for. These iconic yellow Question-mark boxes have Mario power-ups hidden inside making your bath a little more super. While there are six in the entire collection, the current Lush PH website only lists three: Question Box 3, 4 and 6. These mysterious Question Boxes retail for Php 1,250 per each.
If you’re not keen on surprises and mystery, LUSH also has a ever-reliable Gold Coin soap, molded into The Super Mario Bros iconic coin shape. The coin is infused with LUSH’s classic Honey-I-Wash-The-Kids fragrance and notes of caramel for a yummy iconic bath ahead. The LUSH x Super Mario Bros. Gold Coin retails for Php 495/100g of soap.
Smell Peachy or Like a Boss
“Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, I loveeee youuuuu”
Be as sweet as a Princess or as fiery as Bowser with these two options from LUSH.
The Princess Peach Body Spray will make you smell like Royalty with exotic buchu and sweet wild orange oils — certainly fit for the monarch that you are. But if want something a bit more chaotic, well, have a Bowser Shower Jelly. Yes, Shower. Jelly.
These gelatinous bundle of joys leave your skin smooth due to the hydrating seaweed extracts inside. Plus, the Bowser variant infuses this jelly with fiery cinnamon and clove leaf oil enough to make you want to breathe fire. Rawr!
The Princess Peach Body Spray retails for Php 1,995/ 200ml and the Bowser Shower Jelly retails for Php 995/ 100ml tub.
While The Super Mario Bros Movie has run its course in local cinemas, it is currently available as a Video-on-Demand via YouTube for around Php 600 (HD quality). We’re not sure when it will be available on streaming services like HBO Go and Netflix, but we will update this story once we get confirmation.
Time to watch the movie again while smelling SUPER with this new LUSH collection. Wa-hooo!
