The Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel Bath Bomb first came out last year as a part of Lush’s 2023 Hanukkah collection. This year, it’s back but with a slight difference.
For the remainder of this review, I will refer to the bath bomb as just the Dreidel bath bomb (to make it easier for me to write, and you to read this review!)
This bath bomb was inspired by a dreidel which is a spinning-top-toy that is traditionally played with on the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.
A dreidel (just like this bath bomb) has four sides, and each side has a different Hebrew letter on it.
I normally only include one top photo of a Lush product in my reviews but couldn’t resist sharing two with you in this review because I wanted you to be able to see the design a little better.
This year, the Dreidel bath bomb is a gorgeous shade of midnight blue, very similar in colour to the Christmas Eve bubble bar.
Each of the Hebrew letters on the Dreidel bath bomb are made to stand out and are coated in silver.
The Dreidel bath bomb from last year was purple with gold letters, a review on it can be found here: Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel bath bomb (2023).
The Dreidel bath bomb shares its scent with the Apple Crumble bubble bar.
The best way to describe its scent is as baked apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. It’s a very warm and inviting fragrance that leaves you wanting more.
Ingredients wise, the Dreidel bath bomb contains some of the following: myrrh resinoid, orange flower absolute and cinnamon leaf oil.
Each Dreidel bath bomb is approximately 150g each and fits in my hand perfectly.
Although you cannot get the Dreidel bath bomb to work as a proper spinning top, you can spin it straight into your bath…
As soon as the Dreidel bath bomb meets your bath water you are greeted with a burst of dark blue foam.
As the water takes over the bath bomb, a lighter, sky blue foam starts to appear from the Dreidel bath bomb.
It doesn’t take long for the thin layer of silver on the four Hebrew letters on each side of the Dreidel bath bomb to decorate the surface of the water with tiny patches of silver.
If you’ve ever seen or used foil in arts and crafts, or even in nail art, you’ll understand what I mean when I say that the silver patches remind me of this when the Dreidel bath bomb is placed in water.
The silver disperses into tiny clumps, creating an almost crackled effect. It’s remarkably similar to how the gold coating on The Wizard bath bomb goes once it is placed in the water (but obviously on a much smaller scale as Dreidel isn’t completely covered like The Wizard).
I didn’t manage to capture a decent photograph of this foil/crackle effect happening like I did with last year’s Dreidel bath bomb BUT if you look at the photo below, you can see a little of the silver in the top left!
The Dreidel bath bomb takes approximately 16 minutes to dissolve, a whole four more minutes than last year’s version. While it didn’t create much visual bath art, I did enjoy the initial blue and silver flecked foam near the beginning of its time in the water.
Overall, I really enjoyed using the Dreidel bath bomb, the end water is the most incredible shade of dark blue. The scent also sits well on my skin, and I could still smell it in my bathroom long after the last drop of the bath water went down the plug hole.
Like last years, I’d still have liked to have seen a little more bath art out of it but other than that it was a very enjoyable bath bomb.
My skin felt soft after use and its scent (although subtle) stayed on my skin for the rest of the day too. I’m glad that this bath bomb came back and am wondering whether Lush will change its colour again next year?
