Nae Stressie Bath Bomb from Lush

The Nae Stressie Bath Bomb has been on my list of must-try-Lush-products ever since the new Lush Glasgow store opened.

At the time of writing this review it is available only from one store in the whole world and a few weeks ago I finally got to pay Scotland and that one store in the world, (Lush Glasgow) a visit.

The Nae Stressie bath bomb is in the shape of the Loch Ness Monster, a mythical creature that is said to live in the Loch Ness up in the Scottish Highlands.

I’m yet to visit Loch Ness but I hope I get the chance to one day, for now the Nae Stressie bath bomb will have to do.

I was terrified that Nae Stressie wouldn’t be in stock after driving all of that way.

Thankfully, the bath bomb is one of the stores bestsellers, several stacks of them were on every shop floor, pride of place!

I was surprised at how big the Nae Stressie bath bomb was, you can see just how big it is by comparing it to my hand in the photo below.

Nae Stressie is a character bath bomb, I love and hate bath bombs with faces because I always find them near on impossible to use.

Nae Stressie is super cute, with four little legs, a long neck and a super chilled almost sassy look on her face.

Nae Stressie contains fine sea salt, popping candy, pine oil, benzoin resinoid, fir needle absolute and tagetes oil.

You’ll recognise the scent of Nae Stressie if you are familiar with the Fresh As shower gel, Rad Dad shower gel and Wild Remedy bath bomb.

Nae Stressie’s scent instantly relaxes me, it’s refreshing, very outdoorsy, rich and herbaceous.

As I said earlier, the Nae Stressie bath bomb is almost too cute to use but I’d heard great things about the bath art it created so I took Nae Stressie for a swim…

As Nae Stressie comes in to contact with your bath water there is an explosion of cold but beautiful colours; you get blue, purple and turquoise bubbles spilling out of it.

It doesn’t take long for the bubbles to thicken up into a thin layer of foam, creating bath art as it floats around. The colours that burst out of this bath bomb remind me of a peacock.

It doesn’t take long for the popping candy to make itself known, causing little popping noises as the bath bomb slowly dissolves.

It took the Nae Stressie bath bomb just under 10 minutes to fully dissolve, the popping candy carried on popping away for a good 15 minutes. Inside, is a surprise poem, as seen in the photo above.

The water left behind was silky smooth and a deep dark shade of blue. Overall, I loved the Nae Stressie bath bomb and regret not picking up more.

It created the most beautiful bath art, and its scent alone leaves me feeling relaxed. My skin soaked in all of this bath bombs goodness and left me feeling and smelling fresh.

The only thing I dislike about it is that it’s only available in one shop in the world. It is so beautiful, I wish more people could enjoy it!

Colour, Clarity, Carat, Cut Bath Bomb from Lush

Right on time for the very exciting Netflix release of Bridgerton season 3, Lush has created a line of Lush X Bridgerton products! One part of the collaboration was a Bridgerton themed Lush Kitchen Subscription Box and Fresh and Flowers box, and the other was a line of online and in store products.

Today I’ll be reviewing the Colour, Clarity, Carat, Cut Bath Bomb from the online and in store Bridgerton line.

I was lucky enough to receive a Colour, Clarity, Carat, Cut bath bomb in a surprise box sent from Lush. I squealed the house down when I saw the parcel sat on my doorstep!

The Colour, Clarity, Carat, Cut bath bomb is beautiful. I’ve had to include two main photos for this bath bomb just so you can see how spectacular it is. It’s been created in the shape of a diamond and on its top, it has a crown etched into it.

The Colour, Clarity, Carat, Cut bath bomb is 3 different colours that complement each other perfectly, a light blue, dark blue and purply-pink.

Each of the bath bombs are approximately 125g each and are just the right size to fit snuggly in my hand.

The Colour, Clarity, Carat, Cut bath bomb contains bergamot oil, lemon myrtle oil and benzoin resinoid. It shares its scent with the, The Elephant in the Tea Room bath bomb from 2022’s Mother’s Day line.

Its scent is a very light citrus one, it would be a good bath bomb to go for if you’re into the more subtle Lush scents.

Although it’s not a super powerful fragrance it does leave me cheery and bright, sometimes less really is more!

The Colour, Clarity, Carat, Cut bath bomb is almost too pretty to use, it’s a perfect little work of art, I love its diamond shape, the three different colours it has and the embossed crown on its top. It really is fit for royalty.

As the Colour, Clarity, Carat, Cut bath bomb comes in to contact with your bath water there is a gentle hiss as a tiny stream of the three different colours fizzles out of it.

The lemon myrtle oil really comes through once the bath bomb is in the heated water, it’s a really uplifting yet gentle fragrance.

The Colour, Clarity, Carat, Cut bath bomb is taken over by the water after about three minutes and that’s when the bath bomb starts to dance around your bathtub creating swirly blue and pink bath art.

After just under ten minutes the bath bomb has fully dissolved, the water left behind is sky blue and so sparkly, you can tell exactly why Lush decided to make it a diamond shaped bath bomb!

The water left my skin feeling silky soft and well hydrated, I really didn’t want to get out of the bath.

Overall, I loved the Colour, Clarity, Carat, Cut bath bomb, its scent although gentle left me feeling so chilled out and uplifted.

The bath art it created was incredible too, as always, my photos in this review do it no justice at all.

I’d love to see this become a mainline product one day, there’s not a single thing that I dislike about it.

American Cream Bath Bomb from Lush

Today I am reviewing the brand-new American Cream Bath Bomb from Lush’s 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection.

Out of all of Lush’s brand-new bath bombs it was the American Cream one that first caught my eye because of its unique design. It’s a snow-white bath bomb decorated with small hot-pink stars.

All of Lush’s bath bombs are handmade, each of the stars in the American Cream bath bomb are actually mini, star-shaped bath bombs. I can’t believe how precise each star is, it’s a bath bomb work of art!

I wish Lush were still on social media so that we could see the making, and all of the other behind-the-scenes stuff as I love to see the whole process, especially with a bath bomb as detailed as American Cream.

The American Cream bath bomb contains coarse sea salt, vanilla absolute, clary sage oil, lavender oil, benzoin resinoid and strawberry powder.

It shares its scent with several hugely popular products such as the American Cream hair conditioner, American Cream shower gel, Marshmallow World bath bomb and most recently the Gary the Snail bath bomb too.

Lush describe the American Cream bath bomb as a ‘creamy vanilla and sweet strawberry’ scented bath bomb ‘with a fragrance reminiscent of strawberry-vanilla milkshakes in 1950s American diners.’

I’ll admit, the American Cream scent family has never been my favourite of Lush’s many fragrances, but it has grown on me over the years. I find it reminds me of the tree-shaped car-air-fresheners that were popular when I was growing up.

Each of the American Cream bath bombs are approximately 190g each fitting easily in my hand.

As soon as the American Cream bath bomb comes into contact with your bath water, white foam starts to spill out of it shortly after, small pink streaks start to foam out of it too.

After another couple of minutes, I could also see the signs of something blue coming from the American Cream bath bomb, this was a complete surprise to me as I thought it was going to create only pink and white bath art.

As always, the photos in this review do the bath bomb no justice at all.

Although there were small signs of blue bath art beginning to come out of the American Cream bath bomb alongside the pink and white, it wasn’t enough for me to pick it up clearly on camera. If you zoom in on the below photo you can almost see it has a slight blue tinge.

Even without the blue, the pink and white bath art that the American Cream bath bomb created was absolutely incredible. The bath bomb charged around my bath creating its perfect pink and white swirls for a good 10 minutes!

The water left behind by the American Cream bath bomb was however my most favourite thing about the bath bomb.

I admit I am biased when it comes to anything pink (as I can never get enough of the colour) but the end bath water from American Cream is a pink fans idea of heaven!

I wish I could have got a decent photograph of the bath water to share here, it was a baby pink and so, so shimmery. I felt bad pulling the plug out at the end as it was that beautiful.

The American Cream water left my skin lightly fragranced and really soft to the touch. I couldn’t help but notice how hydrated my skin looked after using it too.

Overall, I have to say that I am completely in love with the American Cream bath bomb, as I said earlier it isn’t my favourite Lush-scent-family but wow does it create some incredible bath art.

The American Cream bath bomb has left me so excited to try all of the other new bath bombs and I’m now more open to trying more Lush-scent-families that I haven’t always got on well with!
