Lady Danbury Bath Bomb from Lush

The Lady Danbury Bath Bomb also known as the Lady Danbury Macabomb because of its macaroon-like design, was released by Lush in collaboration with the Netflix TV series, Bridgerton.

In this collaboration Lush have created a whole line of Lush X Bridgerton products; One part of the collaboration was a Bridgerton themed Lush Kitchen Subscription Box, another a Fresh and Flowers box. The third, a line of online and in-store Bridgerton themed products.

The Lady Danbury Bath Bomb is from the Bridgerton themed, Lush Kitchen Subscription box that was sent out at the end of April 2024.

Lush have never done a collaboration of this size before; It has proven incredibly popular, much like the tv series which has recently released its third season.

As I said earlier, the Lady Danbury bath bomb is designed to look like a macaroon. Two bits of bath bomb are sandwiched together by a dollop of cocoa butter.

Unlike the other macaroon shaped Bridgerton bath bomb called Two Families, the Lady Danbury bath bomb has just one Lush-scent-family. Two Families is a little different and features two.

One side of the Lady Danbury bath bomb features the word ‘LUSH’ in its middle, and the other side has the Bridgerton logos letter ‘B’ in its middle.

The Lady Danbury bath bomb shares its scent with the Posh Chocolate body wash and Posh Chocolate shower gel, which are two products I wholeheartedly recommend.

The Posh Chocolate scent is best described as a chocoholics’ dream Lush fragrance. It smells just like a tub of chocolate spread, I wouldn’t blame someone for wrongly assuming that the Lady Danbury bath bomb was edible, disclaimer; it’s not, please don’t eat it!

The Lady Danbury bath bomb contains fairtrade organic cocoa butter, strawberry powder, fairtrade shea butter, cocoa absolute, Australian sandalwood oil, vanilla absolute, extra virgin coconut oil and almond oil.

The Lady Danbury bath bomb is a light shade of pink, I know most customers often reach for the brighter coloured bath bombs, but I feel the lighter colour of the Lady Danbury is much better suited for a macaroon inspired bath bomb.

Lady Danbury is one of the main characters in the Bridgerton Netflix series, I will keep this review spoiler free, but she’s been integral to the story in every season of Bridgerton so far and in the Bridgerton-spin-off, Queen Charlotte too.

As the Lady Danbury bath bomb comes in to contact with your bath water there is a gentle hiss as a tiny stream of light pink bubbles seeps out of it. It doesn’t take very long for the cocoa butter centre to start melting into the water too.

With the Lady Danbury bath bomb having so much cocoa butter in, I expected it to be quite an oily one in a similar way to the Butterball bath bomb.

When the hot water meets the bath bomb the scent changes a little bit, it now smells of pure cocoa, it reminds me so much of a creamy hot chocolate!

It was at this point of using the Lady Danbury bath bomb that I realised just how much I liked it. Unfortunately, I didn’t get on with the Two Families bath bomb quite as much as its scent was too complicated for my liking.

The Lady Danbury bath bomb took about seven minutes to dissolve. The hotter your bath water the quicker the cocoa butter will melt so the time frame can differ slightly depending on temperature.

I said earlier on in this review that I suspected that the Lady Danbury bath bomb would be quite an oily bomb because of how much cocoa butter it had in it. I was right, I advise using it with hot as you can stand it water to get the most out of it skin-hydration-wise.

The water left behind is musky pink coloured. Unlike the Two Families bath bomb I didn’t need to rinse off in the shower after using Lady Danbury which is a huge plus.

Overall, I loved the Lady Danbury bath bomb, I was worried I wouldn’t after my experience with Two Families, but it was lovely throughout.

I also LOVE the Posh Chocolate scent in a bath bomb format, I hope Lush continue to expand the product line of this yummy Lush-scent-family as they haven’t made a single item in its scent, that I haven’t loved yet!

Two Families Bath Bomb from Lush

The Two Families Bath Bomb (also known as the Two Families Macabomb because of its macaroon-like design) was released by Lush in collaboration with the Netflix TV series, Bridgerton.

In this collaboration, Lush have created a whole line of Lush X Bridgerton products; One part of the collaboration was a Bridgerton themed Lush Kitchen Subscription Box, another a Fresh and Flowers box. The third, a line of online and in-store Bridgerton themed products.

The Two Families Bath Bomb is from the online and in-store Bridgerton line.

I was lucky enough to receive a Two Families bath bomb in a surprise box sent from Lush. I squealed the house down when I saw the parcel sat on my doorstep. Thanks again Lush!

As I said earlier, the Two Families bath bomb is designed to look like a macaroon. Two bits of bath bomb are sandwiched together by a dollop of cocoa butter.

What makes the Two Families bath bomb so unique however is the fact both sides of the bath bomb have two completely different scents.

The yellow side which features the word LUSH in its middle, shares its scent with the Yuzu and Cocoa bubbleroon, a long-discontinued bubble bar version of a macaroon.

While the blue side that has the Bridgerton logos letter B in its middle, shares its scent with the Deep Sleep bath bomb.

The Yuzu and Cocoa scent is best described as a delicious chocolate orange fragrance and Deep Sleep is a calming mix of lavender and chamomile.

I am always honest in my Lush reviews, and I admit I like most of the Lush products I try. Both the Yuzu and Cocoa and Deep Sleep Lush-fragrances are favourites of mine, but together? I really wasn’t sure they’d work but kept an open mind.

Lush describe the Two Families bath bomb as ‘a beautiful union of scent’ and with me keeping an open mind I decided to use the Two Families bath bomb whole, instead of splitting it and using it over 2 baths.

The Two Families bath bomb contains fair trade organic cocoa butter, fair trade shea butter, lavender oil, chamomile oil, lavender absolute, neroli oil, bergamot oil, grapefruit oil, tonka absolute, cocoa absolute, yuzu powder, lavender powder, extra virgin coconut oil and almond oil.

As the Two Families bath bomb comes in to contact with your bath water there is a gentle hiss as a tiny stream of coloured bubbles seeps out of it. If you put the yellow part under first, the bubbles are yellow and if you put the blue part in first, the bubbles will be blue.

It was at this point of using the bath bomb that I realised the two scents mixed together really wasn’t something I liked. As I said, I like both the Yuzu and Cocoa and Deep Sleep Lush-scent-families but together I was left feeling completely overwhelmed, almost a sensory overload.

I have however heard many more positive opinions on this product than I have negative, just because I didn’t enjoy it doesn’t mean you won’t too.

The Two Families bath bomb took about seven minutes to dissolve. The hotter your bath water the quicker the cocoa butter centre will melt though, so this time differs depending on that.

Because of the cocoa butter centre, the Two Families bath bomb is quite an oily bomb, like the Butterball bath bomb I advise using it with hot as you can stand it water.

The water left behind is a bright shade of green and is probably the most hydrating bath bomb I’ve used in a long time.

I did have to jump in the shower after I’d got out of the bath as there was so much oil left on me. This is something that I never have to normally do after a Lush bath.

Overall, I loved the idea of the Two Families bath bomb, it was a clever way of representing two families coming together in marriage, but I personally didn’t enjoy it because of the clashing scents, I am super fussy with scents though so don’t just take my word for it on this bath bomb.

Bee Body Balm from Lush

The Bee Body Balm is yet another exciting product from the Lush X Bridgerton line, Lush kindly gifted me most of the in-store and online Bridgerton stock and I have to say, the Bee body balm is a standout favourite.

I have really enjoyed exploring each of the new Bridgerton products, it is making the wait for part two of season three that little bit easier to get through!

The Bee body balm is the same shape as one of Lush’s standard massage bars; It actually fits into the oval Lush tin perfectly, even with the lid on.

The products design is incredibly detailed, on its front there is a honeycomb-like design and then a giant bee, with the letter ‘B’ on its bottom.

The Bee body balm contains fair trade cocoa butter, cornstarch, organic illipe butter, fairtrade organic mango butter, almond oil, organic rose hip oil, Brazilian orange oil and bergamot oil.

It’s a light-yellow colour and is a member of the Honey I Washed The Kids scent-family. Some other products that share its scent and that I have reviewed are the Golden Egg shower gelShoot for the Stars bath bomb and Scrubee body butter.

Some have actually described the Bee body balm as a Scrubee body butter without the scrubby bits.

The Bee body balm smells just like a pot of honey but with a slight citrus twist. I’d also like to point out that it is completely Vegan which is a big deal as back in the day, products with this scent were originally only vegetarian.

Even though Bee looks like a massage bar it is a body balm. It’s hard for me to say for definite what differentiates between a body balm and massage bar as you do use both in similar ways.

My understanding of Bee is that it’s not quite as oily as a massage bar and during application almost takes on a powder like consistency, that powdery part then quickly sinks in because of the heat of your skin.

I thought that with the Bee body balm not being as oily as a massage bar, it would mean I need to use more to get my desired level of hydration but a little goes a long way.

I’ve used the Bee body balm five or six times now, focusing only on my elbows and other dry patches of skin. I’ve even used it as a cuticle oil with good results.

The scent lasts on your skin for a good few hours, as does its moisturisation level.Overall, I am very impressed with the Bee body balm and I’m excited to see what body balms Lush come up with in the future!
