I can’t believe it has taken until the very end of 2023 for Lush to finally create the Intergalactic Bubble Bar. Now it is here, I can’t quite find the right words to explain how happy its release has made me!
The Intergalactic Lush-scent-family started its Lush life in the form of the Intergalactic bath bomb.
Back in 2015, it was an Oxford Street store exclusive; available from only one Lush store in the world, I used to have to beg people to pick it up and post it to me. Thankfully, those days are over as it is now available everywhere and is one of Lush’s best-selling bath bombs of all time.
The Intergalactic bubble bar is made in the same way as the Brightside and The Comforter bubble bars.
However, instead of having just two different colours of bubble bar rolled together to create that perfect swirl that the bubble bars I mentioned above are famous for, the Intergalactic bubble bar is made (much like the bath bomb equivalent) with three different colours: Blue, pink, and yellow.
During the process of making the Intergalactic bubble bar, the blue, pink and yellow bubble bar doughs meet as they are rolled together. After they have been put together you can see greens, oranges, and purples at the parts where the different colours of the bubble bars touch.
It’s a perfect, rainbow-blended-coloured bubble bar that I can’t get enough of. It is just so colourful, bold, and pretty, I’m obsessed!
Each Intergalactic bubble bar weighs in at approximately 200g each. At the time of writing this review, other bubble bars of the same size that are created in the exact same way (and that are currently available to purchase, other than the 2 mentioned above) are the Cinnamon Roll bubble bar, Snow Fairy Roll bubble bar, Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds bubble bar and Botanomancy bubble bar.
The Intergalactic bubble bar contains peppermint, grapefruit, vetivert and cedarwood oils and is described on Lush’s website as the ‘perfect, post-orbit soak’.
Its scent is predominantly a peppermint one, the grapefruit in it is however also noticeable BUT I wouldn’t say it was a particularly fruity fragrance. The grapefruit adds a layer to the peppermint scent which I can only describe as a clean smell.
To use the Intergalactic bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a sieve and let the running bath-water trickle over it. I find this the most effective way to use Lush’s single use bubble bars.
The one thing that I love about Lush’s bubble bars over their bath bombs is that they can easily be spread out over several baths. You can easily get 4 very generously bubbled baths out of just the one Intergalactic bubble bar making it excellent value for money.
If you’d like the bath water to be a darker blue at the end, I do however recommend using a little more per bath. The more of the Intergalactic bubble bar you use, the bluer the water under the bubbles will be. Using more doesn’t seem to get you many more bubbles but does make a difference on the end colour of your water.
Even if you decide to split the Intergalactic bubble bar 4 ways, it doesn’t compromise on its scent-quality which is often the case if you try to spread a bubble bar out a little too much. A blanket of fluffy white bubbles collects on the water’s surface immediately after placing the Intergalactic bubble-bar-pieces under the running tap.
An Intergalactic bubble-bar-bath leaves your skin feeling cool and refreshed. Its scent stays on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day after using it too. The scent lasts throughout the whole of your bath and the bubbles remain as well. As far as bubble bars go, it’s very much up there with the best of them!
Overall, I am so happy at the release of the Intergalactic bubble bar, it’s the prettiest bubble bar that Lush have ever made; The colours, its scent, and the galaxy-like-bathwater makes it worth every penny.
I hope that Lush keep the Intergalactic bubble bar as permanent stock for the foreseeable future, it’s the best bubble bar to have come out in a very long time.
