In celebration of World Bath Bomb Day 2024, Lush Cosmetics have released 29 bath bombs that consist of some much-loved golden oldies, some as they were and some now super-sized, as well as a shedload of brand-new bath bombs too!
The first one I will be reviewing is the brand-new Somewhere Bath Bomb. It is designed in the shape of (what first appears to be) a pink coloured rainbow with 2 white clouds on either of its ends.
This bath bombs name is a play on the Somewhere Over The Rainbow song and to look at, it’s the closest we’ve ever got to a remake of the Somewhere Over The Rainbow bath bomb; Although, the rainbow theme is the only thing these two bath bombs seem to have in common.
As I said earlier, the Somewhere bath bomb appears to be just a pink rainbow. I thought this was a little strange at first but if you look at the sides of the Somewhere bath bomb you can see clues of a much more colourful inside.
The Somewhere bath bomb contains coconut milk powder, bergamot oil, Sicilian lemon oil, orange flower absolute, Sicilian red Mandarin oil and a sprinkling of popping candy.
It shares its scent with the much loved The Olive Branch shower gel. Its scent is a delicate yet stunning citrus, it is perfect for anyone who is wary of the stronger Lush scents that Lush are often associated with. Other products that share its scent include: The Christmas Penguin bubble bar and The Olive Branch bath bomb.
Each of the Somewhere bath bombs are approximately 95g each fitting easily in my hand.
As soon as the Somewhere bath bomb comes into contact with your bath water it begins to foam up. At first white foam spills out of it but after about 30 seconds, several pastel shades of colour begin to trickle out of it too.
There’s obviously a lot of pink because that’s the main colour of the bath bomb but a mix of pale purple, green, orange, and yellow slowly fizz out of it too. As it charges around your bath it leaves pastel coloured bath art behind.
The photos in this review do the bath bomb no justice at all.
As the water begins to consume the Somewhere bath bomb, the first part of it to go completely under the water’s surface is the inside of the rainbow arch. A minute or so later, the pink part of the bath bomb goes under as well, leaving just the clouds. Shortly after that, it all goes under gently bubbling up.
The Somewhere bath bombs scent hangs around your bathroom for an hour or two after pulling the plug. It lasts on your skin for a good six or so hours too.
It takes about four minutes for the Somewhere bath bomb to fully dissolve, thanks to the coconut milk powder in it, laying back in its waters feels amazing on your skin. I also forgot to mention the popping candy! That crackles away long after the bath bomb has dissolved, adding a little something extra to your bathing experience.
Overall, I’m so in love with the Somewhere bath bomb, it was the first bath bomb from the big, World Bath Bomb Day launch to catch my eye and it did not disappoint.
My skin adored soaking up all of its ingredients and its light citrus scent left me craving more. I loved how its colours weren’t really bright, sometimes less is more and its lighter colours complimented its subtle scent perfectly.
The Somewhere bath bomb has left me so excited to try all of the other new bath bombs, I really hope that it sells well as it’s made a lasting impression on me!
