Lush X The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Power-up your bathing as Lush joins forces with Nintendo + Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie to launch a limited-edition range of products

The fresh handmade cosmetics company, Lush, releases an exclusive product collection after the success of Nintendo + Illumination’s animated action comedy The Super Mario Bros. Movie, featuring a Princess Peach body spray, Mario and Luigi shower gels, and a first-of-its-kind ‘surprise’ mystery Question Block bath bomb with power-up soaps hidden inside.

Exclusively available in Lush stores, on the Lush app, and online at Lush.com.ph, the Lush X The Super Mario Bros. Movie collection gives fans the chance to get their hands on a limited-edition 8-piece range based on some of the most popular characters from The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The first product of its kind, which Lush has never created before, is the Question Block bath bomb with a hidden collectable power-up soap inside, each with its own unique fragrance and colour. From mischievous mushrooms to the elusive and exclusive gold star, there are six to choose from.

Princess Peach Body Spray – P1,995 to wrap gifts again and again with no need for wasteful, single-use paper. It also makes for a great gift in and of itself as it can be used as a scarf, headband, or any other accessory the imagination can dream up.

“We’re thrilled with the Lush X The Super Mario Bros. Movie collaboration,” said Stephanie Kraus, SVP Global Design and Product Development, Universal Products & Experiences. “The collection is innovative and iconic with surprise and delight elements inspired by the film, and we can’t wait for the reaction from fans.”

The Lush X The Super Mario Bros. Movie collection is now available exclusively on Lush.com.ph, Lush app, and in stores nationwide.
