Up, Up and Away Bath Bomb from Lush

The Up, Up and Away Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition release from Lush’s 2025 Mother’s Day range.

Weighing in at only 90g, it is one of Lush’s smaller and more affordable bath bombs.

Up, Up and Away is a bright pink and violet hot-air-balloon shaped bath bomb. The balloon part of this bath bomb is pink and the basket violet.

The balloon is decorated with a zig zag pattern and 5 stars, while the basket has one love heart in its centre.

The Up, Up and Away bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: Sicilian lemon oil, lemon myrtle oil, litsea cubeba and styrax resinoid.

The Up, Up and Away scent family is new to Lush and by far one of the juiciest they’ve made to date; I’d buy gallons of it in a body spray format!

The Sicilian lemon oil is probably what comes through the strongest, it’s a beautiful rich lemony fragrance that I can’t get enough of, it’s got me well and truly in the mood for Spring, it’s incredibly refreshing and has blown away all of the cobwebs of Winter for me. The more I sniff the Up, Up and Away bath bomb the more I want it.

The Up, Up and Away bath bomb fits snuggly in my hand and as I said earlier, (with it being one of Lush’s smaller bath bombs) it is one of the cheaper ones from the 2025 Mother’s Day line.

Lush have been creating more and more smaller bath bombs recently, and I’m all for it. The smaller ones quite often put the bigger ones to shame.

As soon as the Up, Up and Away bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of hissing pink and violet foam. The violet foam however starts to look more of a light blue once in the water, the colours coming out of the Up, Up and Away bath bomb actually remind me of the Twilight bath bomb.

Despite the Up, Up and Away bath bomb being two different colours it doesn’t offer much bath-art-wise but its fruity scent and the hot pink colour that it turns your bath water makes it a must try.

The Up, Up and Away scent just gets better and better. Once you place it into the water, the scent completely takes over your bathroom. It’s not blow-your-head-off strong but it holds its ground, I could still smell it in the air long after the last drop of water went down the drain.

For such a small bath bomb I was surprised at how long it took to fully dissolve (approximately nine minutes), the water left behind is a bold and beautiful shade of hot pink, is silky smooth and incredibly hydrating on your skin too.

The best thing about the Up, Up and Away bath bomb for me has to be its scent. I could still smell it on my skin the morning after using it. DELICIOUS!

Overall, I absolutely adore the Up, Up and Away bath bomb and have my fingers crossed that Lush expand this scent family sooner rather than later.

You Are My Sunshine Shower Jelly from Lush

The You Are My Sunshine Shower Jelly is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2025 Mother’s Day line.

The You Are My Sunshine shower jelly is a radiant, yellowish gold colour and is in the shape of a stylised sun (see below photo). In ways, it could also pass for a little golden flower.

Each of the You Are My Sunshine shower jellies are 210g which is more than a handful, you’re definitely getting your money’s worth!

The You Are My Sunshine shower jelly contains some of the following ingredients: glycerine, fresh lemon infusion, carrageenan extract, organic sweet orange oil, buchu oil, litsea cubeba oil, olibanum resinoid and champaca absolute.

You Are My Sunshine shares its scent with the Thermal Waves bath bomb and Peaches body spray. The best way to describe its scent is a fruity burst of both peach and pineapple. It’s an incredibly uplifting scent that is sweet and not too in your face. It’s a good option for customers who prefer lighter scents.

Straight out of the pot the You Are My Sunshine shower jelly has a warm, sherbet-fruit like scent, it is almost as if it has a slight fizziness to it. The more you sniff the fizzier the scent seems to get.

With You Are My Sunshine being a novelty shaped shower jelly, I wondered how long it would last as unfortunately I find more often than not, that the novelty shaped jellies aren’t always as sturdy and robust as the normal, pot-shaped-ones.

Luckily, the You Are My Sunshine shower jelly is bulky enough that after three uses there has been no sign of any wear and tear. I know for sure that this shower jelly is going to last me a good few months!

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.

Although, with this shower jelly being so big and bulky, if your hands are on the smaller side like mine, cutting it in half would be quite a good idea as it will be easier to handle.

Once you’ve used your shower jelly simply rinse it off and then pop it back into the pot leaving it ready and waiting for you when you next want to use it.

The You Are My Sunshine shower jelly lathers up effortlessly, transforming into a silky foam that glides over your skin, cleansing and refreshing as it goes.

Its delicate yet uplifting peach-and-pineapple fragrance although subtle, still manages to fill your bathroom with its sunny scent, making every shower feel like a little slice of Summer.

Stepping out of the shower, my skin feels soft, refreshed, and wonderfully smooth. Its fruity scent also lingers, gently perfuming your skin for a good few hours after use.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the You Are My Sunshine shower jelly. It’s quite literally sunshine in a pot – pure, mood-boosting joy in a yummy shower jelly form!

Bunny Moon Bath Bomb from Lush

The Bunny Moon Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Easter line.

Weighing in at approximately 230g each, it is a little bit lighter than the similar, rabbit-head-shaped Ostara bath bomb from last year’s (2023) Easter line.

With the Bunny Moon bath bomb being 230g it’s one of the biggest in the Easter collection.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb is bright blue with bright pink ears, it’s made in the shape of a rabbit’s head and has several pink craters in it, giving it it’s moon-like-look.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb contains coconut milk powder, rice bran absolute, lime oil, benzoin resinoid and carob resinoid. It is described on Lush’s website as ‘a comforting bedtime bath.’

It has such a complex scent that I don’t even know where to begin to describe it. My nose definitely picks up on the lime in it but it’s also a little smoky too.

I must admit, it’s not the type of Lush scent that I would usually go for but I like to try everything at least once, as you never know when you’re going to come across a new favourite.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb’s scent really is an acquired taste making it a strange choice from Lush. It will most likely appeal to customers who like scents that are strong and a little out of the ordinary.

As soon as the Bunny Moon bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of blue fizzing bubbles.

It doesn’t take long for pinky-purple streaks to appear from the Bunny Moon bath bomb too.

The scent of the bath bomb really comes to life once placed into the water, it’s very, very intense. I’m always honest in my reviews and I’m not a huge fan of the scent, it’s just a little too strong and smoky for me.

Putting my thoughts on the Bunny Moon bath bombs scent to one side it does create plenty of photo worthy pink and blue bath art, my photos in this review (as always) do the bath bomb no justice at all.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb’s scent lingers in your bathroom and takes a good 10 minutes to fully dissolve.

Once you’ve pulled the plug its scent still hangs around somewhat. As for how it smells on your skin once you’re out of the bath, I’m pleased to say it’s a lot more subtle. I much prefer the scent at this potency level. Sometimes less is more.

The water left behind by the Bunny Moon bath bomb is dark blue and silky smooth thanks to the coconut milk powder.

My skin still feels silky smooth several hours after getting out of the bath. I wouldn’t say my skin feels particularly hydrated after using Bunny Moon but I’m not desperate to slather myself in a body lotion either.

Overall, I thought that the Bunny Moon bath bomb was brilliantly colourful during use, but I’d have liked to have seen it with a lighter more Spring appropriate fragrance.

I can’t help but hope that Lush bring out another bunny-head-shaped bath bomb design for next Easter too!
