The Craic Bath Bomb from Lush

This year, Lush have put together a small but special St Patrick’s Day collection, with both products being inspired by the traditions and folklore of Ireland.

Today, I’m reviewing The Craic Bath Bomb. It is shaped like Ireland’s iconic Celtic harp – the inspiration behind it comes from the Irish word ‘craic,’ which means fun.

In Ireland, some of the best ‘craic’ happens in local pubs, where good drinks, lively music, and great company come together. This bath bomb is designed to capture the spirit of St Patrick’s Day, bringing the essence of a classic Irish celebration to your bathroom.

Weighing in at approximately 105g, it is about half the weight of the bestselling bath bomb Intergalactic.

Colour wise, The Craic bath bomb is golden on its outside. In many ways it is very similar to the, The Wizard bath bomb, it has the same golden foil-like coating and is a shade of emerald-green underneath.

The Craic bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: almond essential oil, vetivert oil, cedarwood oil, fair trade organic cinnamon powder, cedarwood powder and plenty of popping candy.

Its scent is from Lush’s Bûche De Noël scent family. It is an almond heavy fragrance, so very sweet. The cedarwood oil in it adds a layer of woodiness to the fragrance too making it a very relaxing and soothing fragrance.

As soon as the, The Craic bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of thin green foam, as it slowly dissolves golden flecks begin to break away from the bath bomb decorating the green foam with a golden shimmer.

The Craic bath bomb doesn’t offer much bath-art-wise BUT does put on quite the show, it doesn’t take long for the popping candy to make an appearance adding crackling sound to your bathing experience.

I’m not a huge fan of Lush’s Bûche De Noël scent family, but once The Craic bath bomb hit the water, its rich almond sweetness is softened down somewhat. The woody elements of its fragrance then became more prominent, and it was at this point that I realised how relaxed I was feeling in its waters…

It took approximately seven minutes for my, The Craic bath bomb to completely dissolve. The water left behind is a forest green that is decorated with shimmery golden flecks, the bath water is also silky smooth to the touch and incredibly hydrating on your skin.

Its scent didn’t really stick to my skin at all, but it did leave my skin feeling soft. Overall, I absolutely adored the, The Craic bath bomb, with it not being a scent I particularly like I was worried I wouldn’t like it, but I really enjoyed using it and am looking forward to what Lush come up with for St Patrick’s Day next year!

Up, Up and Away Bath Bomb from Lush

The Up, Up and Away Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition release from Lush’s 2025 Mother’s Day range.

Weighing in at only 90g, it is one of Lush’s smaller and more affordable bath bombs.

Up, Up and Away is a bright pink and violet hot-air-balloon shaped bath bomb. The balloon part of this bath bomb is pink and the basket violet.

The balloon is decorated with a zig zag pattern and 5 stars, while the basket has one love heart in its centre.

The Up, Up and Away bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: Sicilian lemon oil, lemon myrtle oil, litsea cubeba and styrax resinoid.

The Up, Up and Away scent family is new to Lush and by far one of the juiciest they’ve made to date; I’d buy gallons of it in a body spray format!

The Sicilian lemon oil is probably what comes through the strongest, it’s a beautiful rich lemony fragrance that I can’t get enough of, it’s got me well and truly in the mood for Spring, it’s incredibly refreshing and has blown away all of the cobwebs of Winter for me. The more I sniff the Up, Up and Away bath bomb the more I want it.

The Up, Up and Away bath bomb fits snuggly in my hand and as I said earlier, (with it being one of Lush’s smaller bath bombs) it is one of the cheaper ones from the 2025 Mother’s Day line.

Lush have been creating more and more smaller bath bombs recently, and I’m all for it. The smaller ones quite often put the bigger ones to shame.

As soon as the Up, Up and Away bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of hissing pink and violet foam. The violet foam however starts to look more of a light blue once in the water, the colours coming out of the Up, Up and Away bath bomb actually remind me of the Twilight bath bomb.

Despite the Up, Up and Away bath bomb being two different colours it doesn’t offer much bath-art-wise but its fruity scent and the hot pink colour that it turns your bath water makes it a must try.

The Up, Up and Away scent just gets better and better. Once you place it into the water, the scent completely takes over your bathroom. It’s not blow-your-head-off strong but it holds its ground, I could still smell it in the air long after the last drop of water went down the drain.

For such a small bath bomb I was surprised at how long it took to fully dissolve (approximately nine minutes), the water left behind is a bold and beautiful shade of hot pink, is silky smooth and incredibly hydrating on your skin too.

The best thing about the Up, Up and Away bath bomb for me has to be its scent. I could still smell it on my skin the morning after using it. DELICIOUS!

Overall, I absolutely adore the Up, Up and Away bath bomb and have my fingers crossed that Lush expand this scent family sooner rather than later.

Shaun The Sheep Bath Bomb from Lush

The Shaun the Sheep X Lush collaboration is finally out! In partnership with Aardman, Lush have created six fresh, fully vegan products – each of them a tribute to Shaun the Sheep and the charming characters from his world.

Today I am reviewing the Shaun The Sheep Bath Bomb, I was lucky enough to receive one in a PR box from Lush.

The Shaun the Sheep bath bomb is based on the main character and star of the show. The bath bomb is Shaun’s face, he has a playful chewing expression, a fluffy white top (his wool) and two large cartoonish eyes.

As with all Lush products, the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb is completely handmade, even the finer details of Shaun’s face and eyes are sprayed on by hand!

Each of the Shaun the Sheep bath bombs are approximately 135g, fitting snuggly in my hand.

I have yet to review any items that share their scent with the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb so cannot link any here BUT the scent-family it is a part of is Lush’s Summer Blues.

The Shaun the Sheep bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: Rose absolute, orange flower absolute, lemongrass oil, jasmine absolute, coconut milk powder and olive oil.

The Summer Blue’s scent is a stunning blend of both floral and citrus notes, the sweet orange flower and zesty lemongrass bring a refreshing and uplifting energy while the rose absolute and jasmine adds a softness.

It’s both a soothing and brightening fragrance that perfectly captures the Summer season.

With the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb being just black and white on the outside I was expecting similar bath art to the Humbug bath bomb, I was however very wrong…

As soon as the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb touches your bath water there is an explosion of white foam. It doesn’t take very long for black and grey foam to fizzle out of it too.

After about sixty seconds, the black foam stops, and suddenly grass-green foam starts to spill out of the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb instead (not what I was expecting at all!)

The bath art from the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb is incredible, it only took three minutes to fully dissolve but in that short space of time, the prettiest of white and green swirls decorated the surface of my bath water.

My photos in this review do the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb no justice at all. Underneath the pretty white and green swirls, the bath water turns an inviting shade of kiwi green.

The green water left behind feels unbelievably soft. After a good soak, my skin appears brighter and smoother, I’d go as far as to say that it has a healthy glow that lasts long after I’ve got out of the bath.

After using Shaun the Sheep, though the scent is subtle, it lingers beautifully on my skin for most of the day. 

Overall, I loved the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb. The bath art was incredible, and I hope Lush decide to bring more products out in its scent soon. I can’t wait to try the rest of the Shaun the Sheep X Lush range now!
