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!

Sparkling Light Shower Gel from Lush

The Sparkling Light Shower Gel is a part of Lush’s 2024 Diwali line.

Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is a celebration of hope, joy and the triumph of light over darkness.

The ‘lights’ throughout Diwali represent the light that banishes the darkness away; They act as a symbol of not just hope but unity too. 

With this in mind, it is easy to see where the Co-Create team pulled their inspiration from for Sparkling Light, it’s easily one of (if not the) most beautiful shower gels of 2024!

The Sparkling Light shower gel contains some of the following ingredients: Fine sea salt, almond infusion, black pepper oil, clove bud oil, jasmine absolute, patchouli oil and Australian sandalwood oil.

Sparkling Light shares its scent with another product from this year’s Diwali line, the Lotus Blossom bath bomb.

The Lotus Blossom/Sparkling Light scent is very difficult to describe; To my nose the most dominant ingredient is the black pepper, followed by the patchouli and sandalwood.

It’s a very warm and peppery fragrance with a sweet but woody base. At first, I wasn’t entirely sure if I was a fan, but it grew on me very quickly because of its warmth. There is something about the scent that is slightly exotic too, the more you sniff, the more that seems to come through.

The Sparkling Light shower gel is silver and sparkly throughout. Made in the same type of formula as the Passion shower gel, the shimmer in Sparkling Light shower gel won’t separate, collecting at the bottom of the bottle like old Lush shower gels were known to do.

The Sparkling Light shower gel is thick but easy to get out of the bottle; A very small amount of the shower gel also goes a long way, something I wasn’t expecting with it thicker consistency. It seems that with every new shower gel that Lush release; they just keep getting better longevity wise.

Sparkling Light lathers up quickly but is a little gloopy, gloopiness aside, once mixed with a little shower water, it simply glides over your skin leaving it clean, soft and refreshed.

Mixed in with the steam from the shower the scent really intensifies leaving you ready to light up the night!

Once out of the shower the Sparkling Light scent remains on your skin for several hours, it’s very strong, meaning there isn’t any need for perfume afterwards.

Overall, the Sparkling Light shower gel is a great edition to the Diwali line, I love how beautiful it is and having a bath bomb with the same scent to pair it with, makes it even better!

Lotus Blossom Bath Bomb from Lush

The Lotus Blossom Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2024 Diwali line.

The Lotus Blossom bath bomb has been designed in the shape of a bright pink lotus flower; Each petal has small, embossed shimmering gold dots outlying its edges. Below its petals are the lotus flowers green leaves.

Each of the Lotus Blossom bath bombs are approximately 100g but are flat and therefore big enough to almost hide my hand.

Some of the ingredients included in the Lotus Blossom bath bomb are black pepper oil, clove bud oil, jasmine absolute, patchouli oil, and Australian sandalwood oil.

The Lotus Blossoms scent is very difficult to describe but I’m going to give it my best shot… To my nose, the most dominant ingredients in it are the black pepper, patchouli and sandalwood.

It’s a very warm and peppery fragrance with a sweet but woody base. At first, I wasn’t quite sure if I liked its scent, but it grew on me very quickly. There is something about this blend of ingredients that is slightly exotic too, it’s incredibly complex, the more you sniff the more scent layers seem to come through.

As soon as the Lotus Blossom bath bomb touches the water, you are greeted with an explosion of mostly hot pink foam. The green from the bath bombs leaf parts also foams up but the pink foam is definitely the star of the show, taking over the bath bomb, demanding to be seen.

With this bath bomb being flat, it doesn’t take long for the water to completely take over it. I was expecting a lot of bath art from this pink and green bath bomb but unfortunately after about a minute and a half the bath bomb sank.

When this happens to a really pigmented bath bomb like the Lotus Blossom it is a little disappointing but if a bath bomb does sink, I always like to lay back in the bath water and let the little bubbles of it dissolving away tickle my back; It’s strangely relaxing!

The Lotus Blossom bath bomb took just over seven minutes to fully dissolve, leaving you with plenty of time to lay back and relax in its warming, cloudy purple waters.

Its scent is a lot gentler on your skin once you are out of the bath but can still be detected on you several hours after. It also leaves your skin soft and hydrated as well as your mind completely relaxed.

This bath bomb really does capture the beauty and prosperity that the lotus flower holds. It’s an excellent product that I’d love to see come back year after year for Diwali!
