Tunnel Of Love Bath Bomb from Lush

The Tunnel of Love Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2025 Valentine’s Day line. It is a ticket shaped bath bomb that was inspired by the ‘Tunnel of Love’ found in the village of Klevan, Ukraine.

The Tunnel of Love is a four km long section of industrial railway track that is surrounded by lush green foliage. Local legend says that if you and your partner come to the Tunnel of Love to make a wish, it will come true.

The Tunnel of Love bath bomb has two colours, one side is pink and the other purple. It is designed to look just like a ticket (much like the One Long Soak bath bomb) it has scalloped edges, and the words ‘Tunnel of Love’ is etched into its front, the ‘O’ in the word ‘love’ has however been turned into a love heart.

Each Tunnel of Love bath bomb is approximately 140g making it look like a super-sized ticket in your hand; With its huge size it is a ticket you won’t easily lose…

Some of the ingredients included in the Tunnel of Love bath bomb are olibanum oil, bergamot oil, orris root powder and plenty of popping candy.

The scent of the Tunnel of Love bath bomb is the same as the Blackberry bath bomb, but there is a super subtle, fizzy-violet twang to it that I think comes from the orris root powder.

The Tunnel of Love’s scent is best described as a sweet, gentle woody fragrance, that is complemented by delicate floral notes with little hints of citrus.

Products that contain both olibanum and bergamot oils are perfect for helping you relax, whether it’s to get you ready for a day you feel a little overwhelmed at the thought of facing, or to help you chill after a long day, there’s no better blend.

As soon as the Tunnel of Love bath bomb touches the water there is an explosion of colour, pink and purple foam pour out of the bath bomb and where the colours begin to blend you get blue foam too.

After about 60 seconds it looks like the bath bomb foam is going to lose all of the blue and purple colouring, spreading just pink foam instead. Then, a few minutes later only purple foam spills out of the bath bomb.

As the bath bomb dissolves, the very last part of the bath bomb to be taken over by the water are the raised ‘tunnel of love’ letters on its front. 

Strangely, the fact that the letters are the last part of the bath bomb to dissolve gives the illusion that the letters are getting bigger.

I admit, I was expecting a lot of pink and purple bath art from the Tunnel of Love bath bomb but after the first few minutes all that really came out of the bath bomb was a steady stream of purple foam.

The Tunnel of Love bath bomb was a very slow fizzer taking just over ten minutes to fully dissolve. Once it has dissolved, it leaves behind shimmery Cadbury-purple-water.

After I got out of the bath my skin felt hydrated, velvety and had a noticeable healthy glow. The scent also remained on my skin for the rest of the day leaving me dreaming about the next time I could use it.

While I adore the classics, there’s always a unique thrill in discovering something new and the Tunnel of Love bath bomb certainly delivers on that excitement.

Overall, I absolutely adored using this bath bomb. It’s colourful, shimmery, and wonderfully fragrant, making it a standout product from this year’s Valentine’s range. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Lush, the Tunnel of love bath bomb is well worth trying!

Sweet Talk 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 Sweet Talk Lip Scrub from Lush’s 2024 Valentine’s Day line. 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 Sweet Talk lip scrub also contains organic jojoba oil, sweet wild orange oil, rose oil, vanilla absolute and cold pressed raspberry seed oil.

Sweet Talk isn’t the first lip scrub to be made by Lush with this scent/flavour either. Back in 2017 a blue version of it was made and named the Lush Puppy lip scrub.

Sweet Talk lip scrub may smell and taste almost identical to Lush Puppy it is however bright pink, allowing it to fit right into the theme of Valentine’s Day. I always thought it was a crime for Lush to not make the Lush Puppy lip scrub more readily available so when I found out Sweet Talk was so similar I was over the moon.

Lush’s lip scrubs are obviously not meant to be eaten; BUT if a little amount of Sweet Talk does accidently end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips, you don’t need to worry. Some taste better than others but I don’t mind licking off Sweet Scrub after I’ve used it.

I tend to favour the lighter or more natural toactual 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 Sweet Talk lip scrub at all. Not that, that would be a huge problem though as it is pink.

Even though I’m usually not a huge fan of super sweet Lush products, I do actually like the smell/taste of the Sweet Talk lip scrub. It’s not the same, sickly-sweet as the Bubblegum lip scrub (and much like the Lush Puppy version of this same lip scrub) it really reminds me of the raspberry flavoured Slush Puppy drink.

A little amount of Sweet Talk goes a long way and it’s the perfect amount of scrubby. The grains in it are about the same size of sugar granules (unlike the Cookie Dough lip scrub that’s texture is more like fine salt).

After using the Sweet Talk lip scrub my lips feel smoother and I also find the formula quite hydrating which isn’t the case for a lot of Lush’s lip scrubs.

Overall, I love the Sweet Talk lip scrub, I’d love to see Lush bring back the lip balm equivalent (Passion Fruit lip balm) or make a lip butter in its scent in the near future!

Whispering Heart Bath Bomb from Lush

The Whispering Heart Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Valentine’s Day line.

Whispering Heart is one of the sweetest looking bath bombs from this year’s Valentine’s Day range. It’s mainly hot pink in colour and has a red heart on its top, right in the middle of the red heart is a heart shaped hole (unfortunately none of mine look quite as good as those featured on Lush’s website) but that’s the shape that the hole in my photos of this bath bomb should be.

Lush’s website says you’re meant to ‘whisper your heart’s desire into this sweet and fruity-fragranced Valentine’s Day bath bomb.’ which explains the purpose of the heart hole!

Weighing in at approximately 180g each, the Whispering Heart bath bomb is the standard sized Lush bath bomb, it fits snuggly in my hand.

The Whispering Heart bath bomb contains Epsom salts, bergamot oil and Brazilian orange oil. Its scent is a part of the Rhubarb and Custard Lush-scent-family, but the scent has only ever been released in a soap format before now.

I have been dreading writing this part of the review on the Whispering Heart bath bomb as I really don’t know where to begin when describing its scent. As I stated earlier, the bath bomb is fragranced with Lush’s Rhubarb and custard scent-family.

In ways its scent does remind me of rhubarb and custard sweets but it’s a lot stronger and less creamy, it’s how I’d imagine a rhubarb and custard slushie-ice-drink would smell. (I hope that makes sense…)

My nose doesn’t pick up on anything rhubarb, but I can’t smell or taste rhubarb in rhubarb and custard boiled sweets either so that’s not a negative!

It’s a very moreish scent that works brilliantly in the bath bomb format.

As soon as the Whispering Heart bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a thick burst of pink foam, very quickly the foam thins out and looks more like what I have captured in the photo above.

As the bath bomb floats around your bath, red and hot-pink foam spills out of it.

Once in the water the bath bombs scent engulfs your bathroom, I could see the scent selling well in a perfume format.

Halfway through the bath bomb fizzing away, the red heart shaped part of the bath bomb separates from the pink bit creating 2 different lots of swirls, one red, the other pink.

The bath art isn’t as colourful as some Lush bath bombs, but it did create a small amount of red and pink circles as seen in the photo below.The Whispering Heart bath bomb takes approximately 15 minutes to fully dissolve and turns your bath water a bold and very bright shade of raspberry pink.

I found the waters left behind by the Whispering Heart bath bomb really warming on your skin.

The scent remains in your bathroom (although a lot more subtle) long after you pull the plug and lasts on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day too.

My skin felt clean, refreshed, and appeared brighter after soaking in the water left behind by the Whispering Heart bath bomb.

I think my favourite thing about the Whispering Heart bath bomb is the colour of the water once it has fully dissolved. I couldn’t help but feel invited in by the raspberry pink water and its sweet and fruity scent!

I really enjoyed using the Whispering Heart bath bomb, it isn’t my favourite from this year’s Valentine’s day range but with pink being my favourite colour I was always going to buy a few to use.
