Bob Bath Bomb from Lush

Alongside the recent release of the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film, Lush have created a limited edition collection that’s as bold and quirky as the film itself; Enter the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice X Lush collaboration!

Today I am reviewing, The Bob Bath Bomb, I was lucky enough to receive one in the post from Lush a few weeks ago.

The Bob bath bomb is based on a character with a bright blue shrunken head, he isn’t in the first film very much at all. I admit, I haven’t had a chance to watch the new film yet so my only knowledge of him is as the very memorable extra from the franchise’s first film.

Bob is probably the strangest looking bath bomb that I’ve ever seen from Lush. Its design screams Tim Burton, with its slightly distressed looking, huge and very round white eyes. It also has a caved-in nose with two slits for nostrils, a small patch of black on its top, representing Bob’s sparse hair and a row of black teeth that are set in a way that makes him look like he’s grimacing.

Each of the, The Bob bath bombs are approximately 190g each fitting snuggly in my hand.

If you remember and liked the Flamingo Egg bath bomb, you’ll be pleased to know that Bob shares that bath bombs scent.

I can understand why people who haven’t seen either of the Bettlejuice films may think that the Bob bath bomb is the scariest and most peculiar character they have ever seen. Some may even question why Lush made a bath bomb of its head over so many other Bettlejuice things.

While I haven’t seen the new film YET, I have heard that Bob is a very lovable character that becomes very significant in the telling of the Bettlejuice universes story.

The Bob bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients, labdanum resinoid, Sicilian lemon oil and vetivert oil.

Its scent is best described as one of Lush’s tamer Lush-scent-families, it’s powdery, sweet and has an earthy, warm undertone to it. The Sicilian lemon oil adds a zesty lightness to the overall scent that leaves you feeling uplifted and refreshed. Some describe it as being quite similar to banana foam sweets which ties in with the films Banana Boat song.

As soon as the Bob bath bomb touches your bath water, you are greeted with an explosion of bright blue foam. It doesn’t take very long at all for the water to completely take over the bath bomb as it slowly spins around your bath sending its blue fizz all over.

What I wasn’t expecting after about two minutes of the bath bomb being in the water was an explosion of bright pink foam in amongst all of the blue!

My photos in this review do not showcase the Bob bath bombs true bath art potential at all. Where I wasn’t really expecting any bath art, it made using it that little bit more exciting, especially when you factor in that pink is my all-time favourite colour.

It took about four minutes for The Bob bath bomb to fully dissolve, and the water left behind is a blueish shade of purple.

The scent remains on your skin for a good few hours after exiting the bath and it leaves your skin soft too. Overall, I am very impressed with this bath bomb, it has reminded me of the important lesson of never judging a book by its cover.

The Afterlife Bath Bomb from Lush

Alongside the recent release of the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film, Lush have created a limited edition collection that’s as bold and quirky as the film itself; Enter the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice X Lush collaboration!

Today I am reviewing, The Afterlife Bath Bomb after Lush kindly sent me it to try out.

The Afterlife bath bomb looks very similar to the Intergalactic bath bomb but instead of blue, pink and yellow it is black, green and purple.

I admit, I haven’t had a chance to watch the new film yet, but I am hopefully seeing it next week as I am eager to see what’s been going on in the Beetlejuice universe since the first film came out a few years before I was born!

Each of the, The Afterlife bath bombs are approximately 185g each fitting snuggly in my hand.

Any fans of the Grape Soda body spray will be pleased to hear that the, The Afterlife bath bomb shares the same scent.

The Afterlife bath bomb isn’t the only bath bomb that has been released with the Grape Soda Lush-scent-family this year either; Back at the very start of 2024, the UK version of the Big Squeeze bath bomb also shared the Grape Soda scent

The Afterlife bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients, juniperberry oil, sweet wild orange oil and plenty of popping candy.

The Grape Soda Lush-scent-family is best described as smelling like candied sour grape. It’s quite an artificial scent but not at all unpleasant.

When I reviewed the body spray equivalent, I did a little research on actual Grape Soda (which is the drink that inspired the Lush fragrance).

It’s a very popular drink in the USA but not as popular here in the UK, however, the body spray and this bath bomb seem to be flying off of the shelves everywhere it has been released so this may just change!

As soon as the, The Afterlife bath bomb touches your bath water, you are greeted with an explosion of black, green and purple foam. I couldn’t quite believe just how pigmented all of the colours were even in the water.

The foam is so vivid and bright throughout; The spooky, clashing colours really drags you into the world of Bettlejuice.

Once in the bath, the popping candy in the, The Afterlife bath bomb doesn’t take long to make its presence known.

In fact, the popping candy continued its show, popping away right until the last drop of water disappeared down the plug hole. I don’t think I’ve ever used a bath bomb with this much popping candy before.

The bath art from the, The Afterlife bath bomb is similar to the bath art created by the Intergalactic bath bomb that I mentioned earlier, just with the, The Afterlife bath bombs colours instead.

It took about seven minutes for The Afterlife bath bomb to fully dissolve. The water left behind looks black but is actually just an incredibly dark shade of purple.

The scent is intense but softens somewhat on your skin. I think I prefer the scent of it on my skin once I am out of the bath over the bold scent it is while floating in your bath water.

Overall, I am very impressed with this bath bomb, it left my skin bright, soft and hydrated. The only aspect of it that I have found disappointing is the fact it’s a collaboration product so once it’s gone, it’s gone. I’m going to miss it very much!

Lava Block Bath Bomb from Lush

The Lava Block Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from the Minecraft X Lush collaboration.

Minecraft is an open-world video game that lets players build, explore and survive in a virtual world. In it, players can use blocks to build absolutely anything they want.

In the Minecraft X Lush line, Lush have created five ‘Block-bath-bombs’ and today I’m reviewing the Lava Block bath bomb.Before this line came out, I had heard of the Minecraft game but had never played it. Since, I have finally tried the game as I wanted to see what all the fuss was about…

I’m not great with games but can see why so many spend hours playing it. Had it have come out when I was a little younger, I could see younger me getting very into it.

The Lava Block bath bomb shares its scent with one of my favourite Lush products of all time, the Dragon’s Egg bath bomb.

The Lava Block is orange and yellow, the orange and yellow are hand pressed into different, uneven layers making it look just like actual lava.

The Lava Block bath bombs are 85g each and fit snuggly in my hand.

I didn’t realise until after I’d used the Lava Block bath bomb that it is in fact a jelly bath bomb, working in a similar way to the long discontinued jelly bombs such as the Secret Arts and Ectoplasm, however Lava Block isn’t nearly as slimy as the older jelly bombs, which I much prefer, but we’ll delve more into that later.

The Lava Block bath bomb contains sodium alginate – the seaweed compound that turns to a jelly when placed into water, Sicilian lemon oil, bergamot oil, jasmine absolute, paprika oleoresin and popping candy.

Lava Blocks scent is a zesty, sharp yet sweet, fruity fragrance that not only leaves me salivating but also gives me a boost of energy with just one sniff. Why Lush haven’t expanded the Dragon’s Egg scent-family into a body spray, bubble bar or shower gel yet, I will never understand.

As soon as the Lava Block bath bomb touches the bath water there is an explosion of orange and yellow foam, the foam is thin but packed with colour. It was at this point that I realised that the Lava Block bath bomb was in fact a jelly bath bomb.

The thin layer of orange and yellow foam collecting on the water surface soon beefs up ever so slightly and becomes more of a jelly, I want to make it clear it isn’t nearly as slimy feeling as the old jelly bombs were, on your skin it just feels a bit like the Co-Mingle body scrub does.

The jelly aspect of the bath bomb doesn’t last very long at all, dissolving into the water just as quickly as it formed.

After just seven minutes the Lava Block bath bomb has fully dissolved and a few minutes after that the jelly has all gone too, leaving you with the silkiest water I have had from a bath bomb in a very long time.

When the jelly bath bombs first came out, I know that they weren’t as well received as Lush had hoped. There hasn’t been a new one released in several years now so it was bold of Lush to bring the concept back, BUT I can see exactly why they did for this bath bomb. The jelly bits made it so that it was like I was really bathing in lava.

The bath water left behind by the Lava Block bath bomb was not only some of the silkiest I have bathed in but also so highly fragranced too.

My only semi negative experience of this bath bomb was the lack of popping candy. I don’t know if it’s the sodium alginate (that in a way) counteracts the popping candy into not popping or whether I just got a bath bomb that didn’t have any popping candy in but there was no snap, crackle or pop for me at all.

After using it, the scent of the bath bomb didn’t linger on my skin for very long at all, but my skin did look and feel hydrated and brighter right into the next day. Overall, I am very impressed with the Lava Block bath bomb, it was very well thought out and I’ll be sad to see it go once the Minecraft line is retired.
