Another day, another retro Lush product review… Today I will be reviewing the Supernova Bath Bomb. It was most recently available as one of the exclusive items in the May 2023 Lush Kitchen subscription box.
During the old format of the Lush Kitchen’s 3 year reign, the Supernova bath bomb made regular appearances. I’ve been waiting ever since the Lush Kitchen subscription boxes started for it to appear and finally in box 36, it did!
The Supernova bath bomb is bright pink and laced with paper confetti. The confetti makes it similar in design to the Dragon’s Egg bath bomb, although, Supernova has a lot more confetti in and the confetti in it is paper, Dragon’s Eggs confetti is more of a jelly in the water.
Supernova shares its scent with all of the products in the Celebrate scent family. Most recent product releases that share its scent include the Celebrate foaming body scrub, Tea Party bath bomb and the NEW Golden Pudding bath bomb.
Alongside copious amounts of paper confetti the Supernova bath bomb also contains, sweet wild orange oil, lime oil and wine lees oil. Older versions of it (which I think smelt boozier) contained plenty of cognac oil instead of wine lees.
Lush fragrances are often hard to describe but the Celebrate scent family smells just like its name. A real celebration. The Supernova bath bombs scent is warm and bubbly. The sweet wild orange and lime oils come together giving off a champagne like scent, hence the word ‘celebrate’.
As soon as the Supernova bath bomb comes into contact with your bath water there is an explosion of bright pink foam. As the Supernova bath bomb bobs around the bright pink foam starts to pale and little pieces of confetti begin to burst out of it, spreading out upon the surface of the water.
The Supernova bath bomb is quite a messy bath bomb because of the confetti but it’s not hard to clean away as it dissolves just like the bath bomb, a quick blast of water and it’s like it was never there.
It takes a good 10 minutes for the Supernova bath bomb to fully dissolve. The water left behind is a clear but very bright pink.
I find the hotter the water the quicker and easier it is for the confetti to disappear; I’ve said it’s a little messy in this review but as long as you use it in a clean bath it really isn’t something that should put you off of at least trying it once.
The orange and lime rich scent lasts right up until the last drop of water goes down the plug hole. It does leave my skin a little dryer than I’d like but the scent remains on your skin for several hours after exiting the bath.
If you’re lucky enough to own some Celebrate body lotion and Celebrate body spray, I totally recommended using them both after a Supernova bath. There’s nothing quite like layering up the same Lush scents from different products!
Overall, I do really like the Supernova bath bomb, it’s a fun take on a bath bomb equivalent of a celebration. It’s not my favourite Celebrate scented bath bomb but one I enjoy, nonetheless.
