Today I am reviewing the Sleepy Bot Bath Bomb, alongside the Ickle Bot bath bomb (that is also currently available) it is the first bath bomb to include a hidden shampoo bar inside of it.
Each of the robot shaped bath bombs include a miniature version of the Angel Hair shampoo bar in them. I rarely use Lush shampoo bars as I still haven’t found one that is always suited to my very specific hair type BUT I’m always happy to give things a try and find that the shampoo bars can be incredibly versatile and aren’t just one-trick-ponies!
If you’ve been a Lush customer for a while you’ll recognise the Sleepy Bot’s design from the latest version of the Ickle Baby Bot bath bomb.
Sleepy Bot is a similar shape but a darker blue/purple colour and unlike the Ickle Baby Bot, shares its scent with the Sleepy range.
The Sleepy Bot with Shampoo bar bath bomb contains lavender oil, benzoin resinoid, tonka absolute, ylang ylang oil, rose water and witch hazel extract.
The bath bomb part of Sleepy Bot shares its scent with several products currently available, including the Twilight bath bomb, Sleepy bubble bar and Sleepy shower gel.
Lush describe the Sleepy Bot with Shampoo bar bath bomb as ‘a gentle, fun bomb that brings the joy back to bath time.’
Sleepy Bot was designed with little ones in mind but it’s not exclusively for kids. The first time I gave it a go I was struggling with a bad back so used it just before bed, I feel as if I slept so much better because of it.
Each of the Sleepy Bot with Shampoo bar bath bombs are approximately 95g each fitting easily in my hand.
As soon as the Sleepy Bot bath bomb encounters your bath water you’re greeted with a gentle hiss as a tiny stream of darker blue bubbles fizz out of it.
Knowing that it had a whole shampoo bar hidden inside of it (albeit small) I expected the Sleepy Bot to immediately sink, it however floated around the water surface, filling my bathroom with the Sleepy, lavender and tonka absolute fragrance.
About three minutes in to having the Sleepy Bot bath bomb in the water is when the hidden shampoo bar makes an appearance. It breaks away from the bath bomb sinking to the bottom of the bath, leaving the bath-bomb-part still floating.
Even with the Sleepy Bot bath bomb being so small, it takes just under 10 minutes to fully dissolve.
The water left behind is a lighter purple colour that is very similar to the water left behind by the Twilight bath bomb that I mentioned above.
I also said earlier that Lush’s shampoo bars are very versatile, I am actually using my miniature version of the Angel Hair shampoo bar that was hidden inside of the Sleepy Bot bath bomb as a sort of shaving foam. It makes for a much smoother shaving experience!
I admit that the Sleepy Bot isn’t the most powerful Sleepy scented product, if you want to layer up on the scent once you’re out of the bath I highly recommend the Sleepy body lotion.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed using the Sleepy Bot bath bomb, the novelty of the shampoo bar inside of it makes it much better value for money and although it doesn’t work very well in my hair in particular; It does have many different uses, for example I use it on my legs for shaving purposes.
The Sleepy Bot water left my skin lightly fragranced and really soft to the touch and I slept reasonably well after using it too.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the shampoo bars size, I thought it would be a lot smaller than it was.
Sleepy Bot is not the bath bomb someone looking for bath art should grab but it was a lovely, relaxing bath all the same!
