Snowy Bath Bomb from Lush

The Snowy Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Christmas line.

Snowy is a cute snowman head, it is designed to look like it has coal for a smile, nose and eyes while also wearing a blue, bath-bomb-beanie-hat with a bright white bobble on its top.

Weighing in at approximately 180g each, the Snowy bath bomb is the same size as the New Snow Fairy bath bomb from the same line.

The Snowy bath bomb contains bergamot oil, lavender oil and lemongrass oil.

It shares its scent with Lush’s Love shower gel. If you’ve been a Lush customer for quite some time, you’ll most likely recognise its scent from the Love body spray and Fizzbanger bath bomb.

The ‘Love’ scent family is a much-loved Lush fragrance that has most recently come back through the charity product, the Welcome bath bomb too.

The Love Lush-scent-family is best described as fierce. It is always the most dominant scented product in the room and is easily recognised.

My nose mostly picks up on the lemongrass and bergamot oil in it, but I’d describe it as smelling sweet with a pinch of spiciness. It’s a very sharp yet musky citrus.

As soon as the Snowy bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a gentle stream of blue and white bubbles.

The Snowy bath bomb is not fantastic bath-art-wise as it sinks BUT the blue and white colours of it are so striking together as it fizzes away. When bath bombs sink, I like to lie back and let the bubbles tickle my back, it’s so relaxing!

The Snowy bath bomb takes approximately 10 minutes to fully dissolve and turns your bath water a bold and very bright shade of sky blue. With all the grey skies lately, it’s really made me miss the Summer…

I found the waters left behind by the Snowy bath bomb really warming on your skin. The scent remains in your bathroom (although not as strongly) long after you pull the plug too.

The ‘Love’ scent can also still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath and my skin still felt soft and appeared brighter the next day after using it.

I really enjoyed using the Snowy bath bomb, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art out of it but other than that I think it’s the perfect little Christmas time bath bomb.

Reindeer Bubble Bar from Lush

The Reindeer Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Christmas line. Designed to look like a very happy version of Rudolph, red nose, and all – I couldn’t help but pick up one as soon as they became available.

The Reindeer bubble bars scent is brand new too. It is described on Lush’s website as ‘cheery cherry-fragranced bubbles.’

Each Reindeer bubble bar weighs in at approximately 130g. It’s a good-sized bubble bar that fits snuggly in my hand.

The Reindeer bubble bar contains almond oil, benzoin resinoid and Irish moss powder.

The Reindeer’s scent is incredibly Christmassy; Its mix of almond oil and benzoin resinoid is what gives it, its cheery-cherry-like-fragrance.

It’s super warming, the more you sniff it the more you want to use it!

It’s a soft bubble bar too making it easy to break up, ready to use.

To use the Reindeer bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a sieve and let the running bath-water trickle over it.

I find this the most effective way to use Lush’s single use bubble bars. This method is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted. Through trial and error, I have found that this sieve-method makes the most bubbles too.

The one thing that I love about Lush’s bubble bars over their bath bombs is that they can easily be spread out over several baths. With Reindeer being a medium sized Lush bubble bar, you can easily get two heavily-bubbled-bubble-baths out of it.

Sharing the Reindeer bubble bar over two different baths didn’t compromise on its scent-quality at all.

The blanket of fluffy white bubbles started to grow as soon as I placed the broken-up pieces under the running tap. Underneath the fast-building blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns an inviting shade of bright orange.

Once in the bath, I couldn’t help but notice how creamy and soft the water was. A Reindeer bubble-bar-bath leaves your skin feeling so smooth and unbelievably hydrated. A lot of the thanks for this is down to the addition of the Irish moss powder.

Once out of the bath, its scent (although a lot more subtle now) lasts for a good few hours on your skin.

Overall, I really like the Reindeer bubble bar, it’s probably my favourite Christmas time bubble bar to be released since the Cinnamon Roll bubble bar. I really hope it comes back next year and I’d also love to see future products created in its scent.

Snowdrift Bath Bomb from Lush

The Snowdrift Bath Bomb was first released by Lush in its 2022 Winter line, due to its popularity in 2022, Lush decided to bring it back for their 2023 Winter line.

The Snowdrift bath bomb is the standard sized Lush bath bomb, each of them are approximately 190g each so a tiny bit lighter than the all-year-round bath bombs, Twilight, Sex Bomb and Lakes.

When I first see the Snowdrift bath bomb because of its two shades of blue I couldn’t help but compare it to the long discontinued Frozen bath bomb.

It is coloured the exact same two shades of blue; the majority of it (like the Frozen bath bomb) is light blue and again, just like the Frozen bath bomb it has a dark blue belt around its middle.

The only visual difference between the Frozen and Snowdrift bath bombs is that the Snowdrift bath bomb has a white snowflake on its top.

The Snowdrift bath bombs scent is from Lush’s Outback Mate scent-family. Some recent products that share the same scent include the Snowball bath bomb and the, The Imperial Egg bath bomb.

The Snowdrift bath bomb contains eucalyptus oil, lemon grass oil and peppermint oil. Its scent is fresh and crisp which is just as I’d describe freshly fallen snow.

Due to its decongestant and antibacterial properties, eucalyptus is a popular go-to ingredient to help manage the symptoms of the common cold making the Snowdrift bath bomb perfect if you have a bit of a sniffle!

As soon as the Snowdrift bath bomb meets your bath water you are greeted with an explosion of blue foam.

As the water starts to take over the bath bomb, it spins and charges around your bath like a miniature speed boat, the most beautiful bath art then starts to spill out of it sending bursts of blue across the water’s surface.

Again, the bath art it creates can be compared to that created by the Frozen bath bomb although, the Snowdrift bath bomb has an almost white foam in it too adding a little more depth.

The Snowdrift bath bomb took just under 7 minutes to fully dissolve. Even though this is quite a quick fizzer the bath art it created was on par with other Lush bath bombs that take a lot longer to fully dissolve.

The peppermint, lemongrass and eucalyptus blend of ingredients really come to life in the hot bath water. The mix of the cool peppermint and hot water makes for a truly unique bathing experience that my tired and aching muscles thrive in.

The water at the end is the perfect shade of blue and is full of silver shimmer, you won’t be able to stop swishing it around watching as the shimmer catches the light in the beautifully blue water.

The bath bombs scent is also incredibly strong, lasting throughout the entire bath. Your skin feels super soft when you get out of the bath and a little tingly because of the mix of the cooling ingredients and hot bath water.

All in all, I really enjoyed using the Snowdrift bath bomb and can see why it came back for Winter 2023. Hopefully it will be a part of 2024’s Winter line too!
