The Star of Wonder Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2024 Christmas line.
It is a shimmering gold, star-shaped bath bomb. Before now, we’ve had other star-shaped Christmas products such as the Stardust bath bomb and Star Light Star Bright bath melt.
While I wholeheartedly love both of the past products I just mentioned, I have to say that the Star of Wonder bath bomb has a lot more detail than both of them. It is beautiful!
The Star of Wonder bath bomb has the traditional, symmetrical five spike shape but also has a smaller gold star indentation in its middle.
Around the smaller middle star are little lines giving off the impression of a sparkling star.
Each Star of Wonder bath bomb is approximately 95g fitting snuggly in my hand.
Some of the ingredients included in the Star of Wonder bath bomb are coconut milk powder, cocoa absolute, peppermint oil and apparently, popping candy too.
The Star of Wonder bath bomb has a creamy sweet scent with a cool peppermint kick. It’s a very gentle scent that reminds me ever so slightly of a stick of rock.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to experience any of the popping candy that was supposed to be in the Star of Wonder bath bomb.
In fairness though, I didn’t even know the bath bomb included popping candy until it came down to writing this review, I can’t miss what I didn’t know was there, so I’m not too bothered. It would have however been nice to experience Star of Wonder how Lush had intended me to.
With sleepiness making up a big part of my personality, minty products like the Star of Wonder bath bomb always appeal to me because cooling mint never fails to wake you up when needed.
I love a minty product that blasts you awake but in Winter I don’t want a product that makes me feel too cold. The subtle mintyness of the Star of Wonder bath bomb makes it perfect for this time of year as it doesn’t leave your teeth chattering but still refreshes you.
As soon as the Star of Wonder bath bomb touches the water it begins to fizz away, releasing small bursts of colour from each pointed edge of the star.
Out of the Star of Wonder bath bomb comes the colours turquoise, dark blue, red and shimmery gold. As it dissolves, these colours soften out and blend, turning into shades of purple, pink and minty blue. Because of the bath bombs design, it spins as it fizzes away, the colours whirl along with it creating catherine-wheel-like, rainbow bath art.
The Star of Wonder bath bomb took just over five minutes to fully dissolve, leaving behind silky, milky-pink bath water.
After leaving the bath, my skin felt smooth, appeared brighter and I could still smell its creamy mint scent on my skin for a good few hours too.
I found this bath bomb incredibly hydrating so there was no need to moisturise with a body lotion after using it… (Lush, a body lotion with the same scent as this bath bomb would be a great idea though!)
I thoroughly enjoyed using the Star of Wonder bath bomb. As I said, I think mine was missing its popping candy but based on just its gentle yet refreshing scent, and the gorgeous colourful bath art it created I couldn’t recommend it enough
