The Xolo Bath Bomb is a part of Lush’s Día de Muertos 2024 collection. Día de Muertos, also known as the Day of the Dead is a holiday that is traditionally celebrated on the first 2 days of November.
It is widely celebrated in Mexico but is also observed in other places especially by people of Mexican heritage.
It is a celebration in honour of family and friends who have passed. It isn’t at all a period of mourning or a sad affair, it’s a cheerful holiday where the living come together to remember their departed loved ones.
The Xolo bath bomb is inspired by a Xoloitzcuintli (Xolo) dog. This particular breed of dog is sacred to Mexican culture and closely associated with Día de Muertos. Xolos are regarded as companions, that are believed to guide and protect the souls of the dead as they go about their journey to the underworld.
The Xolo bath bomb has been created in the shape of a Xolo dogs head. It is all white with pink, green and blue edges. It is incredibly detailed and has striking features just like a real life Xolo dog; Large pronounced ears, a long snout, big eyes and even has the tip of its tongue hanging out.
The bath bomb is also intricately decorated with different patterns all over it. It’s beautiful, almost too beautiful to use.
At 160g each the Xolo bath bomb is quite big, half of it is just its ears!
The Xolo bath bomb contains bergamot oil, blackcurrant absolute and cypress oil.
The Xolo bath bomb shares its scent with the much loved The Comforter bubble bar, its scent is best described as just like a warm hug. It has a very distinctive berry fragrance that at first, I wasn’t entirely sure about but over time, I have fallen head over heels in love with. I couldn’t think of a better fragrance for a sacred companion that is said to guide you to your afterlife.
As the Xolo bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a thin layer of blue, green and pink foam. Blue spills out of its top end, green out of its middle and pink out of its bottom.
It doesn’t take long for the bath bomb to be completely engulfed by the bath water. As it dissolves away, lighter blue, green and pink bath art spins out of it.
Its comforting scent fills your bathroom lulling you into a state of complete relaxation.
The Xolo bath bomb is quite a quick fizzer taking just under 10 minutes to fully dissolve. The photos in this review do the bath art created by the Xolo bath bomb no justice at all. The colours from it are pastel shades but are still strikingly beautiful.
Once fully dissolved the Xolo bath bombs water is silky soft, once out of the bath my skin felt smoother and also appeared brighter. The scent of the Xolo bath bomb also remained on my skin for the best part of the rest of the day too.
The Xolo bath bomb is truly beautiful, I adore its design and got a little emotional when learning about its origin. I lost my cat, Henry to cancer back in August and I just hoped someone met him when he passed to help guide him to the afterlife.
Overall, I love the Xolo bath bomb, its intricate design makes it one of Lush’s most detailed and beautifully unique bath bombs yet.
