Help me out here Grin
Like Lush fun, maybe a squishy or mouldable type soap. I seem to remember it being a clay like texture. And messy but smelt amazing

If anyone has good bubble kids wash cloudberry scent, it smelt like that which is what is driving me mad! Blackcurrant scented

Petition to bring back dewberry and ananya is needed!

I know what you mean, the clay soap stuff. No idea what it was called though!

Lush have brought back cosmetics to go products from the archives in the past. A Lush bigwig was involved in body shop I think OP. Wasn't there a legal wrangle over ice blue shampoo between Lush and BS? Perhaps Lush can end your quest, worth a tweet maybe.

Was it called bath blob? I have an empty jar I've kept my stamp hinges in since my teens, I'll try to remember to take a photo in the morning if you think it might be.

I miss the sweet berry and the green olive shower gels (the newer variety doesn't smell the same).

Yes!!
I would most definitely sign that petition Smile

I had a cherry bubble bath, it was so strong and I loved it. I used to work in a fish market on a Saturday and I always had a bath in this before I went out.

Muppetry76 · 23/05/2020 07:02

Fuzzy peach perfume oil with the little pipette... Ah I can smell it now

cheeseychovolate · 23/05/2020 07:15

Could it have been a bath and body works product, they had stores in the UK in the 90's?

Gingernaut · 23/05/2020 07:21

Japanese Musk

The circular tiered table with all the perfume oil testers in glass bottles and glass dippers you had to sniff.

Dewberry - shower gel, bath gel, perfume, body spray - I did the whole lot at once, once. People at work complained. Blush

Japanese rice grain exfoliator

A dusty clay in a cardboard tube that had to be made up with water to cleanse the skin.

Carrot oil moisturiser

I can't remember any mouldable, squishy stuff.

Scruffyoak · 23/05/2020 07:28

The peach lip balm. I would give anything to smell that again.

Loved Dewberry and the fruity scent soaps. They do not smell the same anymore. Not even close :(

HelpMeh · 23/05/2020 07:43

I know exactly what you're talking about. I never had any but remember squishing it in the shop. If I remember correctly, it came in a yellow and pink wrapper. I remember squishing it in its packaging.

HelpMeh · 23/05/2020 07:50

It came in a packet like these, but brighter. I wish they'd go back to doing some of their old, fun products.

@YourVagesty, Bas are not owned by L’Oreal anymore. They are dabbling with “retro” scents but are still finding their feet. There’s a rose one which is very much like Tea Rose.

Equimum · 23/05/2020 10:31

I remember what you mean. It’s was a play soap from the kids range, and if I remember correctly, came in a bright, plastic wrapper. I have no idea what it was scented with, but was amazing.

I liked the watermelon sunscreen.

@HelpMeh YES! it's so annoying I can't remember what it was called
This shower gel I am using smells exactly the same. It's so strange, I opened it and my brain went woahhhhh what's that memory..

I'm so late to this game but I 100 percent remember this!!! The one we had used to smell like a kind of lemony pineapple with a tiny bubblegum hint!

Keepemguessing · 15/07/2021 15:21

I used to love Anyana and the carrot oil moisturiser.

Beamur · 15/07/2021 15:27

Loved Dewberry
Body Shop products used to be much more fun. Back when Anita Roddick still owned it probably. It's all very generic and expensive now. I popped in a while ago looking for gift ideas and came out without buying anything.

KirstenBlest · 15/07/2021 15:30

They did do a squidgy soap.

I'd like to see the heritage line too..

I like Body Shop stuff anyway, but not being pounced on by staff.

burnoutbabe · 15/07/2021 15:33

i used to love the satsuma bubble bath (and shower gel), never found anything that smelled so strong since.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 15/07/2021 15:36

Slightly off topic but anyone who remembers body shops pineapple cleanser well aldi now do a pineapple hot cloth cleanser for £3.99 tis very nice 🍍

Seiheiki · 15/07/2021 16:17

I wish I could find something similar, anywhere, to their Ice Blue Shampoo

spiderlight · 15/07/2021 16:39

I loved their Ice Blue shampoo. I had a tiny bit left in a bottle hidden right at the back of the bathroom windowsill, being saved for a special occasion, and DH bloody used it - 'Oh, it was there ages, so I thought you didn't like it...' Angry
