Time of the Season Bath Bomb from Lush

Today I am reviewing the brand-new Time of the Season Bath Bomb from Lush’s 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection.

To look at, the Time of the Season bath bomb reminds me of the Frozen bath bomb because Like Frozen, the Time of the Season bath bomb is all one colour and looks like it is wearing a darker coloured belt.

Where the Frozen bath bomb is light blue, Time of the Season is yellow and where the Frozen bath bomb is dark blue, Time of the Season is bright pink.

The Time of the Season bath bomb contains dark Sumatran patchouli oil, grapefruit oil, organic neroli oil and orange flower absolute.

It’s a brand-new scent-family from Lush and seems to have divided Lush fans. Again, I want to reference the Frozen bath bomb as elements of Time of the Seasons scent remind me of it a lot, it has the same zesty, sharp bitterness because of the grapefruit and neroli.

I think these are the ingredients that make and break it for some. I however really like the bitterness of the grapefruit, the other ingredient that really comes through scent wise is the patchouli oil. On paper it sounds like such a strange mix, but I think they all work really well together.

It’s an incredibly unique scent, a very bold choice from Lush, I like it when Lush are brave with their fragrances.

Lush describe the Time of the Season bath bomb as ‘a bath bomb that’ll take you to the bathing promised lands’ and claim that it is ‘the time of the season for loving yourself’ and that the bath bomb will ‘gently restore your composure, while instilling an overall feeling of peace.’

Each of the Time of the Season bath bombs are approximately 180g each fitting easily in my hand.As soon as the Time of the Season bath bomb meets your bath water there is an explosion of thick yellow and pink foam (as seen in the photo directly below.)

The hot pink and yellow starts to spread out before orange begins to spill out of the Time of the Season bath bomb too.

It doesn’t take long for the bath bomb to start spinning in the water and wow does it spit out an insane amount of absolutely stunning bath art.

As always, the photos in this review do the bath bomb no justice at all, the colours that spill out of the Time of the Season bath bomb are so bright, bold and beautiful, I never wanted it to end.

The Time of the Season bath bomb takes just under 10 minutes to fully dissolve, the water left behind is a bright shade of orange and it feels silky soft on your skin.

Many people have compared the Time of the Season bath bomb to the Passion bath bomb (from the same 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection) because it has such similar colouring, this is true, maybe Lush could have picked Time of the Season to have different colours to make it more unique, but honestly? Both it and Passion are such good bath bombs that smell completely different; therefore, I really don’t think it matters.

Using the Time of the Season bath bomb left my skin lightly fragranced and soft to the touch, I could still smell it on my skin several hours after using the bath bomb too. I also didn’t need to moisturise after getting out of the bath which is always a plus… I do love a time saver!

Overall, I am completely in love with the Time of the Season bath bomb. The bath art was phenomenal. If I knew the bath bomb was this good, I’d have used it weeks ago.

I always say the bath art photos in my bath bomb reviews do the bath bombs no justice at all, but the photos included on the Lush website for this bath bomb don’t show its true potential either. Just look at the photo above compared to those on the Lush website. I can’t believe how different they are!?!!

I admit, the Time of the Season scent is quite an acquired taste, if you’re not sure on its scent I do still recommend giving it a go, sometimes bath bombs can surprise you. Time of the Season is a true work of art, what an incredible bath bomb from start to finish!

Sleepy Bot with Shampoo Bar Bath Bomb from Lush

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!

Lady Danbury Bath Bomb from Lush

The Lady Danbury Bath Bomb also known as the Lady Danbury 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 Lady Danbury Bath Bomb is from the Bridgerton themed, Lush Kitchen Subscription box that was sent out at the end of April 2024.

Lush have never done a collaboration of this size before; It has proven incredibly popular, much like the tv series which has recently released its third season.

As I said earlier, the Lady Danbury bath bomb is designed to look like a macaroon. Two bits of bath bomb are sandwiched together by a dollop of cocoa butter.

Unlike the other macaroon shaped Bridgerton bath bomb called Two Families, the Lady Danbury bath bomb has just one Lush-scent-family. Two Families is a little different and features two.

One side of the Lady Danbury bath bomb features the word ‘LUSH’ in its middle, and the other side has the Bridgerton logos letter ‘B’ in its middle.

The Lady Danbury bath bomb shares its scent with the Posh Chocolate body wash and Posh Chocolate shower gel, which are two products I wholeheartedly recommend.

The Posh Chocolate scent is best described as a chocoholics’ dream Lush fragrance. It smells just like a tub of chocolate spread, I wouldn’t blame someone for wrongly assuming that the Lady Danbury bath bomb was edible, disclaimer; it’s not, please don’t eat it!

The Lady Danbury bath bomb contains fairtrade organic cocoa butter, strawberry powder, fairtrade shea butter, cocoa absolute, Australian sandalwood oil, vanilla absolute, extra virgin coconut oil and almond oil.

The Lady Danbury bath bomb is a light shade of pink, I know most customers often reach for the brighter coloured bath bombs, but I feel the lighter colour of the Lady Danbury is much better suited for a macaroon inspired bath bomb.

Lady Danbury is one of the main characters in the Bridgerton Netflix series, I will keep this review spoiler free, but she’s been integral to the story in every season of Bridgerton so far and in the Bridgerton-spin-off, Queen Charlotte too.

As the Lady Danbury bath bomb comes in to contact with your bath water there is a gentle hiss as a tiny stream of light pink bubbles seeps out of it. It doesn’t take very long for the cocoa butter centre to start melting into the water too.

With the Lady Danbury bath bomb having so much cocoa butter in, I expected it to be quite an oily one in a similar way to the Butterball bath bomb.

When the hot water meets the bath bomb the scent changes a little bit, it now smells of pure cocoa, it reminds me so much of a creamy hot chocolate!

It was at this point of using the Lady Danbury bath bomb that I realised just how much I liked it. Unfortunately, I didn’t get on with the Two Families bath bomb quite as much as its scent was too complicated for my liking.

The Lady Danbury bath bomb took about seven minutes to dissolve. The hotter your bath water the quicker the cocoa butter will melt so the time frame can differ slightly depending on temperature.

I said earlier on in this review that I suspected that the Lady Danbury bath bomb would be quite an oily bomb because of how much cocoa butter it had in it. I was right, I advise using it with hot as you can stand it water to get the most out of it skin-hydration-wise.

The water left behind is musky pink coloured. Unlike the Two Families bath bomb I didn’t need to rinse off in the shower after using Lady Danbury which is a huge plus.

Overall, I loved the Lady Danbury bath bomb, I was worried I wouldn’t after my experience with Two Families, but it was lovely throughout.

I also LOVE the Posh Chocolate scent in a bath bomb format, I hope Lush continue to expand the product line of this yummy Lush-scent-family as they haven’t made a single item in its scent, that I haven’t loved yet!
