TNT Block Bath Bomb from Lush

The TNT Block Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from the Minecraft X Lush collaboration, I was lucky enough to be sent one by Lush last week.

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 TNT 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 on it. Had it have come out when I was a little younger, I could see younger me getting very into it.


The TNT Block bath bomb shares its scent with the bestselling, Sex Bomb bath bomb.

Just like in the game, the TNT Block is bright red with a white band around its middle; Inside the white band on each side are the letters, TNT in black capital letters.

The TNT Block bath bombs are 100g each and fit snuggly in my hand.

I didn’t realise until after I’d touched the TNT Block bath bomb that its red colour was so transferable.

I actually went to wash my hands after I’d finished taking photos of all of the Minecraft X Lush stock and when I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn’t stop laughing. I must have touched my face in some way while taking the photos, there was red dust all over my face. This is not a negative, it added some much needed humour to my day.

The TNT Block bath bomb contains jasmine absolute, clary sage oil, ylang ylang oil and plenty of popping candy to help it fit right into the theme of real TNT.

TNT Blocks bath bombs scent is a soft, young-floral blend. Mixed in with its floral elements is the sweetness of the ylang ylang. That, and the clary sage in it help round off the floral aspect of the fragrance in an almost musky way. It’s a really inviting scent that I fall in love with every time I use it, in whatever product format Lush choose to release it in.

As soon as the TNT Block touches the bath water there is an explosion of red, there hasn’t been a bath bomb that changes the colour of the water this red and this quickly in a very long time. There wasn’t very much foam, but the red colour fizzed its way out of the bath bomb transforming the bath water almost immediately.

It doesn’t take long for the bath bomb to be completely taken over by the water, as it dissolves away the TNT Block bath bombs scent fills your bathroom helping you wind down after a long and stressful day. Then just as you’re about to fall into a deep relaxation, the popping candy starts to put on a show, TNT style!

After just four minutes the TNT Block bath bomb has fully dissolved leaving you with water that is such a deep red that it could easily be mistaken for the blood of your enemies. The scent is incredibly powerful lingering in your bathroom and on your skin long after the last drop of water has gone down the drain.

With the bath bombs colour transferring so easily onto my hands and then onto my face when I first handled it, I was a little worried about the clean up once I had used the bath bomb. I however had absolutely nothing to worry about, the TNT Block bath bomb left no mess, after the last drop of water went down the plug hole (if it wasn’t for the scent) I would have never known it had even been in my bath.

Once out of the bath my skin felt silky soft, and the scent lingered for so long I could still smell it on me at bedtime.

At first, I thought the Minecraft line was just a novelty collection of products more than anything else but after using the TNT Block bath bomb I appreciated the line so much more, I loved the TNT Block it smelt great, put on a great performance and has opened my eyes to a whole new world game wise.

Milk Bucket Shower Jelly from Lush

The Milk Bucket Shower Jelly is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s Minecraft X Lush collaboration, I was lucky enough to be sent a pot of it by Lush earlier this week.

Before this line came out, I had heard of the Minecraft computer game but had never played it.

Since, I have finally tried the game to see what all the fuss was about. I spent about an hour getting myself out of a big hole that I had fallen down and not much else…

Some people are good at computer games, I am not one of them. I’m going to stick to just using bath products for now!

In the Minecraft game a milk bucket is one of the many food items that you can make, it’s useful as a food source and can also be used to cure status effects.

It has been a while since I have reviewed a shower jelly that isn’t in a novelty, character shape. The Milk Bucket shower jelly is the standard Lush shower jelly shape; The exact same shape as its pot.

Each of the Milk Bucket shower jellies are 100g each just big enough to fit in your hand.


Just like an actual bucket of milk, the Milk Bucket shower jelly is an opaque, milk-white colour.

The Milk Bucket shower jelly contains glycerine, almond milk, carrageenan extract, coconut milk powder, Brazilian orange oil and patchouli oil.

Milk Bucket shares its scent with the main-line Lush products, Milky Bath bubble bar, Toby’s Magic Cow bath bomb and the recent limited edition release, the Saltbomb bath bomb.

The Milk Buckets scent is best described as a gentle and musky fragrance that is incredibly calming.

I ordinarily find the shower jellies that aren’t novelty shaped to be sturdier and more robust during use; They always seem to last longer, breaking up a lot slower than the character shaped shower jellies such as the Krang and Snow Fairy shower jelly.

There is no right or wrong way to use a shower jelly, I prefer to use mine in the same way as you would a bar of soap, whole.

Some people however chop their shower jellies up using a few pieces at a time, this is a good method if you’re sharing it with someone else.

Once you’ve used it simply rinse it off and then pop it back into the pot and put the lid back on.

The Milk Bucket shower jelly lathers up quickly, I find this a real positive for shower jellies as they can be a little slippery, after all they are made of jelly! I seemed to however be wrong about this shower jellies sturdiness…

It started to break up a lot quicker than I had anticipated (after just one use it was a lot flimsier) I’m having a guess that this is because of its higher than average milk content. This doesn’t mean the shower jelly doesn’t however work. It just shows wear and tear almost immediately, running out a little quicker than I’d have hoped.

Even with this in mind, I can still see it lasting me another 4 possibly 5 showers.

After using the Milk Bucket shower jelly my skin feels soft, clean, and hydrated. The scent although light remains on my skin for a good few hours after using it too.

Overall, it is a good shower jelly and I’m so happy to experience the Milky Bath Lush-scent-family in this format, it makes a change from bath bomb after bath bomb.

Intergalactic Block Bath Bomb from Lush

The Intergalactic Block Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from the Minecraft X Lush collaboration, I was lucky enough to be sent one by Lush earlier this week.

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 Intergalactic 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 on it. Had it have come out when I was a little younger, I could see younger me getting very into it!


The Intergalactic Block bath bomb is just a cube shaped Intergalactic bath bomb. With the Intergalactic bath bomb being a best seller it was only natural for Lush to give it a Minecraft face lift; I know some feel a little cheated with it just being a different shaped Intergalactic bath bomb but I think it’s great, we already know it sells well and while it’s not directly marketed at children, if it makes bath time easier for just one parent I’m here for it.

Each Intergalactic Block bath bomb is only 90g so fits snuggly in your hand. The normal Intergalactic bath bomb is 200g so just think of it as a smaller version of one of the best bath bombs in the world!

The Intergalactic Block bath bomb is space blue with hot pink and yellow streak like patches. The colours clash so well, it’s a beautiful design that is almost too pretty to use.

The Intergalactic Block bath bomb contains peppermint oil, grapefruit oil, vetivert oil, cedarwood oil and a small helping of popping candy.

Its scent is predominantly peppermint based; The grapefruit in it is however noticeable but I wouldn’t say it was a particularly fruity or citrusy fragrance. The grapefruit adds a layer to the peppermint scent which is sharp and something I can only really describe as, a clean smell. In ways it is almost like a very minty mouthwash with a sharp grapefruit twist.

As soon as the Intergalactic Block bath bomb touches your bath water you are greeted with an explosion of blue foam; Smaller bits of yellow and pink begin to foam out of it too.

It doesn’t take long for the bath bomb to be completely taken over by the water, it charges around the bath sending yellow, pink and mostly blue bubbles across the water’s surface.

Comparing the Intergalactic Block bath bomb with the normal Intergalactic bath bomb it doesn’t create as much bath art, but you still get the same three beautiful colours from it. After about three minutes the popping candy within the Intergalactic Block bath bomb starts to put on a show too, popping and crackling away.

I’d say that the water left behind by the Intergalactic Block bath bomb is a little greener than I remember the ordinary Intergalactic bath bomb end-water to be.

After just under ten minutes, the bath bomb has fully dissolved leaving you with cooling, silky soft, green-blue bath water that is decorated throughout with golden lustre. Inspired by the Milky Way, I like nothing more than to sit back and soak in the refreshing and relaxing Intergalactic scent.

Once out of the bath, my skin felt smooth and hydrated. Scent wise, I can still smell it on me several hours after getting out of the bath. My bathroom also has the scent of the bath bomb in the air long after the last drop of bath water has gone down the plug hole.

As I said earlier, I know some people feel as if Lush should have left this bath bomb out of the Minecraft X Lush line focusing on new bath bomb blocks that aren’t related to an already existing and readily bath bomb, but I quite enjoyed revisiting it in a different shape, it’s certainly got me excited to try the other Minecraft X Lush products!
