Another day, another review of a product from the Lush X Shrek collaboration. Today I am pleased to be reviewing the Donkey Bath Bomb for you all!
Ahead of the products website release on the 25th of March (2024), I was lucky enough to be gifted most of the line by Lush. thanks again Lush, you’ve made my month with this surprise box of Shrek goodies!
Donkey is the very annoying but much loved, side kick/noble steed of the main character, Shrek.
The Donkey bath bomb does not disappoint looks wise, he is instantly recognisable as the flying, talking Donkey from the Shrek films; The fact that each Donkey bath bomb is handmade blows my mind. The 3D printer bath-bomb-moulds just keep getting better and better.
Donkey is a mixture of two colours, a silverish grey and bright blue. He is posing with his head to one side, with a big toothy grin and has one of his front legs lifted.
The Donkey bath bomb contains clove bud and ylang ylang oil and shares its scent with products from the Yog Nog Lush-scent-family such as the Yog Nog bath bomb and Yog Nog shower gel.
If you’ve watched Shrek, you’ll know that Donkey’s favourite food is waffles and that’s exactly what the Donkey bath bomb smells like! Lush’s attention to detail for every product they create is so much more than just making them look good.
When the Donkey bath bomb first encounters your bath water there is an explosion of blue foam, this quickly separates from the bath bomb, and you start to see super-shimmery, light grey foam spill out of it too.
It doesn’t take long for the water to fully engulf the Donkey bath bomb, as he slips under, shimmery blue and almost white bath art trickles out of it as it floats just under the water’s surface.
The photos I have included in this review do the Donkey bath bomb no justice at all, the bath art that it creates is very similar to the likes of the Frozen bath bomb, INCREDIBLE.
It takes about six minutes for the Donkey bath bomb to fully dissolve, the water left behind is a very inviting sky blue, I couldn’t stop swishing the water around as it’s so incredibly sparkly!
The Yog Nog, waffle-like-scent stays in your bathroom right up until the last drop of bath water disappears down your plug hole. It then remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day, shimmer too.
A Donkey bath left my skin feeling completely refreshed and left me craving waffles.
While I hate to pick favourites because I am ridiculously indecisive, I have to say that the Donkey bath bomb impressed me so much that if I had to choose between it and the Shrek Swamp bath bomb (from the same line), I’d choose Donkey based on its bath art.
I wasn’t expecting to like the Donkey bath bomb so much, the scent suited it so well and I also wasn’t expecting such incredible bath art from it either.
I’m so sad that the Shrek line is limited edition as I feel most of the products in it would do well as permanent main-line-products.
