For plastic-free-July Lush collaborated with the American animated television series, SpongeBob SquarePants to help keep our oceans and waterways clean. One part of the collaboration was the Lush X SpongeBob collection and the other was a SpongeBob, Lush Kitchen exclusive themed box.
Today I’ll be reviewing the Surprised Patrick Bath Bomb from the main Lush X SpongeBob collection.
What I loved the most about the Lush X SpongeBob collaboration is that you could enjoy all of the products even if you aren’t a fan/are not familiar with the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants. I happen to be a lifelong fan of SpongeBob so was generally so excited to see so many amazing SpongeBob themed products become available!
The Surprised Patrick bath bomb is a bath bomb shaped as one of the main characters in the SpongeBob SquarePants television series. Patrick Star is the best friend of the lead character, SpongeBob.
Patrick is a loveable and very goofy coral pink starfish who is known for not having much common sense, he like SpongeBob is easily influenced so getting himself into some type of trouble is an almost daily occurrence, hence this bath bomb being the Surprised version of Patrick.
The Surprised Patrick bath bombs scent is fairly new to Lush only having featured in one lip scrub prior to the release of the Lush X SpongeBob line. Its scent is a blend of sweet vanilla and coconut and oozes beach vibes.
The Surprised Patrick bath bomb contains, fir balsam resinoid, vanilla absolute, coconut milk powder and plenty of popping candy.
The bath bombs coconut rich fragrance really fits in with the tropical theme of the SpongeBob television series. The end credit song played in my head on a loop while using all of the SpongeBob products but especially for the Surprised Patrick and SpongeBob bath bombs.
Its scent is incredibly moreish and makes me want to book a sunny holiday where I can sit on a beach, sand between my toes, drinking fruity cocktails. Unfortunately, this bath bomb is the closet I’ll be getting to a holiday for a while but it will do!
As soon as you place the Surprised Patrick bath bomb into your bath water a burst of coral pink foam spills out of it. Slowly but surely the Surprised Patrick bath bomb bubbles away, filling your bathroom with its sweet vanilla and coconut scent.
I ignorantly assumed that both the SpongeBob and Surprised Patrick bath bombs would just be the standard, one-colour-only type of bath bombs like Avobath or Sakura. I was however very wrong…
After approximately 2 minutes, the popping candy hidden within the Surprised Patrick bath bomb begins to snap, crackle and pop away and orange and yellow colours also begin to make a show in amongst the coral pink coloured foam.
The photos I took and have included in this review (as always) do the bath bomb no justice at all, the bath art it created was incredible. It reminded me of the bath art that the, The Enchanter bath bomb creates. The 3 colours swirl and blend together so perfectly.
It takes just under 5 minutes for the Surprised Patrick bath bomb to fully dissolve, the water it leaves behind is a warm, Summery shade of orange.
I didn’t find the bath bomb drying on my skin, but I wouldn’t say it left my skin feeling particularly hydrated either. Its scent however, (although very subtle) stayed on my skin long after I had left the bathtub.
As seen in the photo above, hidden inside of the Surprised Patrick bath bomb are Patrick’s pink and yellow pants!
Overall, I really enjoyed the Surprised Patrick bath bomb. It just like the SpongeBob bath bomb, ticked so many boxes in what I love in a bath bomb, it smelt great, put me in holiday mode, and created the most unexpectedly gorgeous bath art too. The hidden paper pants also put a huge smile on my face.
The Lush collaboration products just keep getting better and better, I can’t wait to see what Lush come up with and with who, next!
