Deep Sleep Bath Bomb from Lush

The Deep Sleep Bath Bomb was one of the first products I grabbed on my very first visit to Lush Liverpool on their opening day back in 2019. It is safe to assume that the bath bomb has been well received by Lush customers as several years after the Liverpool stores grand opening, the Deep Sleep bath bomb is still available as an all year round product in both stores and online.

As you can see from the photograph above, the Deep Sleep bath bomb isn’t your average looking Lush bath bomb as it is wrapped in a fully compostable muslin cloth.

With the Deep Sleep bath bomb being wrapped it means you can enjoy the dry lavender and German chamomile flowers that are hidden within it without the fear of clogging up your pipes with the bits of flowers that could end up going down your plug hole when the bath drains. It is also a huge bonus for those customers that dislike any ‘bits’ floating around in the bath with them. Put simply, you get all of the benefits from the ingredients without the mess!

Alongside the above-mentioned flowers, the Deep Sleep bath bomb also contains lavender absolute and the following essential oils, lavender, chamomile and neroli. Scent-wise my nose mostly picks up on all of the lavender in the Deep Sleep bath bomb, it’s a very sweet yet herbal scent, it actually reminds me of my childhood home. We had lavender growing right outside of our front door, I remember my nan rubbing her hands on bits of the lavender she had picked every time she went past it.

As soon as the Deep Sleep bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a gentle hiss, slowly but surely, purple bubbles fizz out of the bath bomb turning the bath water a very inviting, Cadbury purple colour.

If you thought the Twilight bath bomb was great to use before bed, then you’ll be blown away with Deep Sleep. When used just before bed, the lavender and chamomile blend really helps lull you into a truly relaxed state of mind. As soon as you lay back into a Deep Sleep bath you can feel yourself instantly relax, all tension that has built up in your body that day simply melts away.

The Deep Sleep bath bomb takes approximately 8 to 10 minutes to fully dissolve, only the muslin cloth full of the dry lavender and German chamomile flowers remains, floating around your bath adding not just to the baths scent but also to how soft the bath water is.

The water is a beautiful shade of purple and silky smooth to touch, it leaves my skin feeling soothed and refreshed. The scent of Deep Sleep is still detectable on my skin the morning after I have used it too. This allows Deep Sleep’s calming effects to work on me right through until the next day.

If you’re looking for bath art, Deep Sleep wouldn’t be a good choice BUT if you are just chasing a good night’s sleep, this bath bomb may just be the key ingredient you’ve been looking for. Overall, I am super impressed with the Deep Sleep bath bomb, my excuse for taking so long to finally review it on here is based on its price. If it wasn’t so expensive, I’d be using it a lot more often!

Karma Yantra Bath Bomb from Lush

The Karma Yantra Bath Bomb started off it’s Lush life as a Lush Spa exclusive, it wasn’t available to purchase and was exclusively used only within the Karma spa treatment. I haven’t been lucky enough to have the Karma treatment yet BUT I have my fingers crossed that I will be able to experience it one day in the not so distant future. 🤞

Back in 2019 Lush released a shed-load of limited edition bath bombs in celebration of 30 years since one of the brains-behind-Lush, invented the bath bomb.

Luckily one of the bath bombs out of the long list of limited edition releases happened to be the Karma Yantra bath bomb; Therefore for a small amount of time, people could buy it and try it outside of the spa treatment!

Karma Yantra’s scent is from the Karma scent family. Karma is a hugely popular fragrance that features in copious amounts of different Lush products, in several different formats.

The Karma Yantra bath bomb has a long list of ingredients, on paper you’d think all of them would never work together but in reality – all of them blended together really work. Each ingredient compliments one another perfectly.

The most prominent ingredients that come through when I sniff the Karma Yantra bath bomb are the patchouli, orange and pine oils. The scent is very refreshing – which I think is down to the orange and pine oils in it. The patchouli also adds a peppery almost spicy layer to its fragrance.

The Karma Yantra bath bomb quite simply oozes happiness and good vibes.

Karma Yantra is a flat, rather large bath bomb. Its size and thickness is very similar to the Skydancer Far From The Madding Guns and Granny Takes A Dip bath bombs. It is a fantastically bold orange colour with raised yellow indents; the yellow indents show a sun-frame-like circle with an equilateral triangle inside; Inside that triangle is another equilateral triangle and so on.

Once placed in to the bath water you are greeted with a hiss of fizzing orange bubbles. With the bath bomb being flat and therefore skinnier than the normal round bath bombs, it doesn’t take very Long to dissolve. It’s not a bath-arty type of bath bomb either, it’s beautifully designed but I think the highlight and main selling point for this bath bomb is its breath-of-fresh-air, welcoming scent.

Overall I really enjoyed using the Karma Yantra bath bomb, my skin felt fabulous after use and the Karma scent remained on my skin well into the next day too.

I hope that I can experience the Karma spa treatment one day. I have my fingers crossed, it’s very high up on my bucket list! 🤞

Rose Eye Pads from Lush

After falling in love with Lush’s Cucumber eye pads, I was over the moon to see that yet another type of Eye Pad had been created. The Rose Eye Pads are Sold in packs of 2 and just like the Cucumber ones make at-home, DIY-spa-days quick and easy.

FRESH IS BEST and Lush’s eye pads are all best kept in the fridge until you use them. The Rose eye pads have a very short and simple ingredients list that includes; rose water, fresh aloe gel and carrageenan extract.

To use the Rose eye pads all you have to do is take them out of the fridge, unwrap them from their fully compostable wrapping paper, then place them on each eye for approximately 15 minutes. I often wear them for a lot longer as I just love how soothing they feel after a long day, even more so during this current heat wave!

The Rose eye pads are a pale rosé-red colour and decorated with an imprint of an eye with thick lashes on one side of each.

Rose water has many benefits for your skin and is a fairly gentle ingredient that has both antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties. That alongside the aloe gel in the Rose eye pads makes the eye pads super soothing around your eyes. Soothing tired and/or puffy eyes at home has never been so easy.

Used along side a cooling face mask you can’t go wrong no matter the time of year. Some people use the whole of the eye pad at once, covering the whole of their eye with each, while others cut their eye pads in half to spread their use out, placing each half just under the eye instead.

15 minutes with the Rose eye pads on really does make a difference. Once I have taken them off, the eye area feels a lot less tired, I also noticed that the under-eye area appeared somewhat brighter after use too. The puffiness is also slightly reduced but most of all I would say that the Rose eye pads left my eyes feeling refreshed. It’s a hard sensation to describe but the heavy pull of tiredness that your eyes get when you’re in need of a pick-me-up just seems to melt away thanks to these eye pads.

Lush’s eye pads are said to stay fresh for approximately 3 weeks, this time frame can however be stretched somewhat as long as you haven’t handled them without the compostable wrapper too much and (most importantly) have kept them in the fridge.

Would I recommend using them more than once? I want to say no as the eye area is a really delicate part of your body BUT as long as your eye is clean before using it (and you are comfortable using it on yourself again) then I don’t see why not. As I mentioned earlier, cutting them in half is a great way to make the product go further IF you did want to play it safe and use the eye pads just the once.
