Moon On A Stick Bath Bomb from Lush

The Moon On A Stick Bath Bomb is as beautiful as it is peculiar. It was originally released by Lush over a decade ago as a Lush-Forum-exclusive but recently made a comeback as an item in the October 2024 Lush Kitchen Subscription Box.

Its design is a little strange but there is a story behind it… It is inspired by the phrase, “What more do you want, the moon on a stick?”

While the stick doesn’t add any practical function to this product, it gives it a fun and unique touch, making this bath bomb the one that immediately catches your eye in a room full of Lush products.

Moon On A Stick is a grey-white colour and just like the actual moon, has lots of craters all over its surface, it’s round and is a similar size to the standard sized Lush bath bombs such as Twilight and Intergalactic.

As I said earlier, the stick attached to this bath bomb doesn’t serve any practical purpose, it is purely decorational. Some customers choose to remove the stick, while others keep the stick in.

I decided to remove my bath bombs stick just before I placed it into the water.

The Moon On A Stick bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: jasmine absolute, neroli oil and ylang ylang oil.

It shares its scent with the Ghost shower gel, another retro product I can never get enough of.

Its scent is best described as slightly creamy with a light sprinkling of something floral. It’s a very subtle scent so better suited to customers that prefer the less in-your-face Lush-scent-families.

As soon as you place the Moon On A Stick bath bomb into your bath water it immediately starts to hiss; Grey-white coloured foam starts to spill out of it as it dissolves.

Within about 30 seconds of introducing the Moon On A Stick bath bomb to the water, a streak of blue bubbles then begins to trickle out of it.

Slowly but surely, more blue streaks burst out of the Moon On A Stick bath bomb and that’s when the bath art well and truly begins.

The Moon On A Stick bath bomb really is full of surprises. It looks so plain on the outside (and although I have learnt to never judge a bath bomb by its cover) I wasn’t expecting it to be as mesmerising as it was at all!

The photos in this review do the bath art created by the Moon On A Stick bath bomb no justice whatsoever. I also realised way too late that the bath bomb contained miniature dissolvable stars in it too.

After approximately 8 minutes, the Moon On A Stick bath bomb has fully dissolved; The water left behind is a deep shade of space blue.

A good long soak in a Moon On A Stick bath left my skin delicately scented and feeling soft and hydrated, this lasted for several hours after I got out of the bath.

Overall, I think this bath bomb is spectacular, from its name and the inspiration behind it, to its scent and stellar performance in the water.

It’s been a while since I’ve used a bath bomb with bath art this gorgeous!I really hope we get the chance to buy this bath bomb again very soon as it’s absolute perfection.

Cherry Pop Shower Gel from Lush

At the time of writing this review, the Cherry Pop Shower Gel has only ever been available in September 2024’s Lush Kitchen subscription box.

It was my favourite item from subscription box 52 and it seems a lot of customers feel the same way. It has proven very popular within the Lush community, so popular that I think Lush are starting to regret not making it a part of their 2024 Halloween line.

Spoiler alert… I LOVE the Cherry Pop shower gel; I have my fingers crossed that it one day becomes a main line shower gel, or at the very least, that Lush release it in a limited edition drop. It’s a crime that I only have one bottle. 🙁


We’ve had a lot of brand new shower gels this year, Super MilkPosh Chocolate and Fiona being the ones that first come to mind, BUT none of them have been quite as irresistible as the Cherry Pop shower gel!

The Cherry Pop shower gels fragrance is a brand new Lush scent. To me, the scent of Cherry Pop is the truest to the actual scent of cherries that Lush has ever created.

Some of the ingredients contained in the Cherry Pop shower gel are, cherry infusion, organic agave syrup, balsamic vinegar, labdanum resinoid, cinnamon leaf oil, lime oil and almond essential oil.

Earlier I said that the Cherry Pop shower gel is the truest to the actual scent of cherries that Lush has ever created. It doesn’t however smell of just cherries. It’s sweet with a tarty undertone, it smells just like the taste of those sugar coated, sour cherry sweets.

The best thing about the Cherry Pop shower gel is its unique colour, or should I say colours? – In the bottle the Cherry Pop shower gel looks dark green but as you pour the shower gel out, it becomes a shade of dark, cherry red.

I’m not 100% on the science behind it, it could very well just be an optical illusion but the unique way it appears to change colour had me very excited. Some people get excited over cars, others bird watching; Me? I get excited about Lush products! 😋

Consistency wise the Cherry Pop shower gel is quite thick but still very easy to get out of the bottle.

It lathers up easily and is super hydrating on your skin, it turns into a white almost foam-like-paste that when mixed with water, cleanses my body effortlessly.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom, it’s delicious. I hope Lush not only make this shower gel available in stores but also bring out other products that share its same cherry based scent. The idea of a body spray equivalent is making me salivate!

Once out of the shower the Cherry Pop scent remains on your skin for a good few hours, Overall, I am obsessed with this shower gel. It’s one of my favourite products to come out of not just 2024 but all 52 of the Lush Kitchen Subscription boxes so far!

Salted Caramel Lip Scrub from Lush

The main ingredient in all of Lush’s lip scrubs is caster sugar. To this day I am still lost for words that such a simple and natural mix of ingredients can do such a great job at exfoliating. It really does make me question why other cosmetic companies ever actively chose to use micro-plastics in their exfoliation products.

Lush’s lip scrubs are ridiculously underrated, if you’re on the fence about giving them a go I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

Today I am going to be reviewing the Salted Caramel Lip Scrub that first appeared in August 2021’s Lush Kitchen Subscriptions box and is where the now very famous, Sticky Dates Lush-scent-family all began!

I use Lush lip scrubs almost every day so whenever a new one comes out, I always make sure I grab a pot.

Using Lush lip scrubs requires a minimum amount of effort, and they cover everything your lips need to always look and feel their best.

They are the perfect product to exfoliate dry or chapped lips, and most are also very good at softening and hydrating them at the same time. Exfoliating your lips has so many benefits and thanks to Lush, it has never been easier to do.


As well as caster sugar, the Salted Caramel lip scrub also contains some of the following ingredients: Organic jojoba oil, fairtrade shea butter, golden caster sugar, extra fine sea salt, sandalwood oil, carob resinoid, benzoin resinoid, argan oil, cocoa powder and paprika.

Other products that share the same scent as the Salted Caramel lip scrub are the Sticky Dates shower gelSticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrubSticky Dates body spraySticky Dates sugar scrub and Sticky Dates body lotion… Just to name a few!

To use, simply scoop out a little of the lip scrub with your finger then buff it on your lips. Once you’ve buffed them to your desired amount simply lick off any excess product.

Lush’s lip scrubs are obviously not meant to be eaten; BUT if a little amount of the Salted Caramel lip scrub does by accident end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips, you don’t need to worry.

I tend to favour the lighter or more natural to actual lip-colour lip scrubs over the brightly coloured ones because I find that the highly pigmented scrubs can sometimes leave your lips with a slight tint of whatever colour the lip scrub is.

I am however pleased to report that during use, I haven’t had any colour transfer from the Salted Caramel lip scrub at all. Not that, that would be a huge problem though as it’s very similar looks wise to brown sugar, with hardly any pigment.

Even though I’m usually not a huge fan of super sweet Lush products, I do actually like the smell/taste of the Salted Caramel lip scrub. It’s not the same, sickly-sweet as the Bubblegum lip scrub. It’s just like sticky toffee pudding, I can’t get enough!

A little amount of the Salted Caramel lip scrub goes a long way and it’s the perfect amount of scrubby. The grains in it are about the same size of sugar granules.

After using the Salted Caramel lip scrub my lips feel smoother and I also find the formula quite hydrating, I however wouldn’t say no to a Salted Caramel/Sticky Dates scented lip balm to add to the hydration… Please release one, Lush?

Overall, I love the Salted Caramel lip scrub and am eager to see what Sticky Dates scented products Lush come up with next!
