The Sugar Plum Sparkle Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2024 Christmas line, I was fortunate enough to receive one as a gift from Lush.
Design wise, the Sugar Plum Sparkle bubble bar looks and is made in the exact same way as the year round best-selling bubble bars, Brightside, The Comforter and Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds.
Lush get the different coloured bits of bubble-bar-dough then roll them together. The miniature sized ones are then squished from the top, a bit like you would do when laying cookies out on their baking tray.
The larger sized bubbles are made a little differently, they are rolled into a big sausage shape and then chopped into slices (See above photo)
Each of these methods is how Lush get the beautiful bubble bar to look so perfectly swirly.
You can only buy the full sized Sugar Plum Sparkle bubble bars individually, but I believe that the smaller sized ones are available in some of the Christmas giftsets.
Sugar Plum Sparkle bubble bar is made from three striking colours: dark purple, dark blue and hot pink. With a name like Sugar Plum Sparkle, you’d expect it to glimmer like the nights sky and glimmer it does!
The striking purple, blue and pink parts of the bubble bar spiral around each other, swirling in an almost hypnotising way.
I love how the colours clash so well with each other; it almost feels criminal to break the bubble bar up to use.
At approximately 200g each, the full sized Sugar Plum Sparkle bubble bars are one of Lush’s bigger bubble bars currently available.
Essential oils wise, the Sugar Plum Sparkle bubble bar only contains sweet wild orange.
The Sugar Plum Sparkle bubble bar’s scent is probably one of the hardest I have ever had to describe.
Some have compared it to The Comforter bubble bar that I mentioned above, and others have gone as far as to say it’s better than Lush’s Snow Fairy scent family… A very bold statement considering the level of Snow Fairies popularity!
It’s a delicate fruity sweet scent that is slightly artificial to my nose. At the risk of sounding like I’ve completely lost the plot it makes me think of something really specific from my childhood… My, My Little Pony collection.
Please do not ask me why as I don’t know myself. All I know is, those plastic ponies are all I can picture in my head when I sniff Sugar Plum Sparkle… I’m wondering if one of the ponies I had were maybe scented in a similar fragrance?
To use the non-reusable bubble bars like Sugar Plum Sparkle, I break them up then stick the bubble bar pieces into a sieve and let the running-tap spill over it (see above photo).
This method is the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have worked out that it is the best way to get the most out of your bubble bar, bubble wise.
One of the best things about the Sugar Plum Sparkle bubble bar is just how far it goes.
You can get (at the very least) four baths out of just the one Sugar Plum Sparkle bubble bar without compromising on its scent quality and bubble amount. If you did however feel like you wanted to use more of it per bath, you can always add more, you are in charge after all!
The blanket of fluffy white bubbles starts to grow as soon as you place the broken-up pieces of The, Sugar Plum Sparkle Bubble Bar under the running tap.
Underneath the fast-building blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns the dreamiest shade of purple. I didn’t want to get out! The purple water shimmers like someone has shattered a disco ball into it, it’s beautiful.
I couldn’t believe just how many bubbles just one quarter of the bubble bar made too; To get the above photo I had grab a load of it and put it on the other side of the bath. I don’t think I’ve ever had so many bubbles from such a small amount of bubble bar before!
Having a good soak in a Sugar Plum Sparkle bath left my skin feeling silky and looking refreshed. The scent lasted throughout the bath but once out of the bath I could no longer smell it on my skin.
Overall, I really enjoyed using the Sugar Plum Sparkle bubble bar and plan on getting an extra one before the 2024 Christmas line retires. It’s beautiful before use and during, a real work of art!
I have my fingers crossed that more products come out in its scent very soon, it’s nice to have something sweet that isn’t Snow Fairy for a change.
