The Two Families Bath Bomb (also known as the Two Families Macabomb because of its macaroon-like design) was released by Lush in collaboration with the Netflix TV series, Bridgerton.
In this collaboration, Lush have created a whole line of Lush X Bridgerton products; One part of the collaboration was a Bridgerton themed Lush Kitchen Subscription Box, another a Fresh and Flowers box. The third, a line of online and in-store Bridgerton themed products.
The Two Families Bath Bomb is from the online and in-store Bridgerton line.
I was lucky enough to receive a Two Families bath bomb in a surprise box sent from Lush. I squealed the house down when I saw the parcel sat on my doorstep. Thanks again Lush!
As I said earlier, the Two Families bath bomb is designed to look like a macaroon. Two bits of bath bomb are sandwiched together by a dollop of cocoa butter.
What makes the Two Families bath bomb so unique however is the fact both sides of the bath bomb have two completely different scents.
The yellow side which features the word LUSH in its middle, shares its scent with the Yuzu and Cocoa bubbleroon, a long-discontinued bubble bar version of a macaroon.
While the blue side that has the Bridgerton logos letter B in its middle, shares its scent with the Deep Sleep bath bomb.
The Yuzu and Cocoa scent is best described as a delicious chocolate orange fragrance and Deep Sleep is a calming mix of lavender and chamomile.
I am always honest in my Lush reviews, and I admit I like most of the Lush products I try. Both the Yuzu and Cocoa and Deep Sleep Lush-fragrances are favourites of mine, but together? I really wasn’t sure they’d work but kept an open mind.
Lush describe the Two Families bath bomb as ‘a beautiful union of scent’ and with me keeping an open mind I decided to use the Two Families bath bomb whole, instead of splitting it and using it over 2 baths.
The Two Families bath bomb contains fair trade organic cocoa butter, fair trade shea butter, lavender oil, chamomile oil, lavender absolute, neroli oil, bergamot oil, grapefruit oil, tonka absolute, cocoa absolute, yuzu powder, lavender powder, extra virgin coconut oil and almond oil.
As the Two Families bath bomb comes in to contact with your bath water there is a gentle hiss as a tiny stream of coloured bubbles seeps out of it. If you put the yellow part under first, the bubbles are yellow and if you put the blue part in first, the bubbles will be blue.
It was at this point of using the bath bomb that I realised the two scents mixed together really wasn’t something I liked. As I said, I like both the Yuzu and Cocoa and Deep Sleep Lush-scent-families but together I was left feeling completely overwhelmed, almost a sensory overload.
I have however heard many more positive opinions on this product than I have negative, just because I didn’t enjoy it doesn’t mean you won’t too.
The Two Families bath bomb took about seven minutes to dissolve. The hotter your bath water the quicker the cocoa butter centre will melt though, so this time differs depending on that.
Because of the cocoa butter centre, the Two Families bath bomb is quite an oily bomb, like the Butterball bath bomb I advise using it with hot as you can stand it water.
The water left behind is a bright shade of green and is probably the most hydrating bath bomb I’ve used in a long time.
I did have to jump in the shower after I’d got out of the bath as there was so much oil left on me. This is something that I never have to normally do after a Lush bath.
Overall, I loved the idea of the Two Families bath bomb, it was a clever way of representing two families coming together in marriage, but I personally didn’t enjoy it because of the clashing scents, I am super fussy with scents though so don’t just take my word for it on this bath bomb.
