Princess Peach Body Spray from Lush

At the time of writing this review, Lush’s most recent collaboration with the, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is by far Lush’s most popular collaborations to date. Today I’m going to be reviewing another of my favourite products from the collection, the Princess Peach Body Spray.

The Mario and Luigi shower gels that are also a part of this collection are both remakes of older Lush shower gels, unlike Princess Peach which is a brand-new Lush scent!

I do love when older Lush scents come back to life in new products, BUT brand-new scents are always exciting too. The Princess Peach body spray is described on Lush’s website as a ‘fruity burst of peach and pineapple’.

Ingredients wise, the Princess Peach body spray contains organic sweet orange oil, buchu oil, litsea cubeba oil, olibanum resinoid and champaca absolute. This carefully selected group of ingredients create such an uplifting fragrance that is fit for a princess. If you’ve ever wondered what Princess Peach smells like, the Princess Peach body spray is the answer!

If you are familiar with Lush’s Peachy bath bomb, Princess Peach is quite similar to that but with a tropical twist. The longer you sniff it, the more complex the fragrance gets. At first, I can smell a cocktail of peach and pineapple then after a few more seconds there’s a muskiness to the scent, it reminds me of the little mushroom sweets I used to eat as a kid.

With mushrooms being such an intricate part of the Super Mario Bros. world I can’t help but think this may have been deliberate.

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but as soon as I see the pink label on this body spray with Princess Peach on it, my inner princess couldn’t help but squeal a little. Lush were wise to use these types of visuals on their packaging for this particular line. I know Lush are trying hard to use less and less packaging but sadly I think this line has had so much success due to its packaging.

The packaging with all of the characters on them is a huge reason that customers were tempted into Lush stores. I feel that how great the products actually are, is secondary to the Mario Bros. packaging.

The packaging of this body spray was brilliant at tempting new customers in but how amazing the body spray smells is what has made new Lush customers, forever-Lush-customers. Old customers like me, seem to have really loved the Mario Bros. line too so it’s a win, win!

I am very interested to see how well future collaborations go if the products aren’t so obviously a collab, like the Princess Peach body spray is.

Just a few spritz of the Princess Peach body spray either on your body or clothes is all you need for it to last on you all day. Its delicate fruity scent is delightful and a good choice if you dislike the heavier Lush scents. Overall, I adore this body spray and hope it’s not the last we see of the scent. I will be reviewing its shower jelly equivalent in the next few days so keep checking back!

Mario Shower Gel from Lush

Lush’s most recent collaboration with the, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is Lush’s most popular collaborations yet. Today I’m going to be reviewing the Mario Shower Gel. This bright red shower gel has gone down a storm with Lush customers and has brought in a whole load of new customers too! Interestingly, Mario isn’t the first bottled shower product that Lush have released in its scent. You’ll recognise its scent if you were lucky enough to try the Santa’s Christmas shower cream back in the Winter of 2017.

The most obvious difference between the 2 products is that Mario is a shower gel and Santa’s Christmas was a shower cream, but both are used in the same way. As someone who has had a chance to use both I can say which of the 2 I think were better. Without hesitation I’d pick the Mario shower gel every time.

As you can see from the photographs I have included in this review, the Mario shower gel is the brightest of reds, fitting in with Mario the character perfectly.

As I said earlier, I much prefer the Mario shower gel over the Santa’s Christmas shower cream that shared its scent. The formula is so much better, it’s a bolder red and so smooth that it oozes out of the bottle.

The Mario shower gel contains fresh pomegranate juice, benzoin resinoid and the following essential oils, Persian lime, aniseed, and black pepper. Its scent is magnificent, it’s just like a tall glass of fizzy cola with a slice of lime on its side, it’s tangy, sweet, and packed full of energy.

This truly beautiful shower gel is thick but easily glides out of the bottle, it is, in my opinion the perfect consistency for a shower gel. Another great thing about the Mario shower gel is that a very little amount of it goes an incredibly long way. You only need the smallest amount of it to wash your whole body. It lathers up quickly and cleans your skin with ease.

The scent of the Mario shower gel is at its best when it comes together with the hot water and steam of your shower. The scent fills your bathroom and remains in the air, long after you’ve got out of the shower. It not only leaves my skin clean, hydrated, brighter, and incredibly soft it also leaves it lightly scented with the cola scent too.

If you have read my review on the Love shower gel, you’ll know how disappointed I was for all of the UK customers that couldn’t get it in a bottle (Lush UK decided that the UK would only be offered the sphere options in 2023). I am thanking the Lush gods that Lush decided to scrap the spheres as I’d have been devastated to miss out on a bottled Mario shower gel. I doubt Lush would have released the Mario Bros. shower gels in anything but a bottle regardless of scrapping the spheres or not though…

2022 was Lush’s best year for shower gels, I didn’t think it was possible to top it but Lush have well and truly topped 2022 shower-gel-wise and we’re only 3 months in to 2023! Do I recommend the Mario shower gel? YES, YES, YES! Go grab a bottle before it’s too late!

Sticky Dates Co-Mingle Body Scrub from Lush

Exactly a year after the Co-Mingle body scrub first came out Lush released another just like it, the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle Body Scrub. The Sticky Dates Co-Mingle is a part of Lush’s small but impressive, limited-edition 2023 Eid line. You’ll recognise its scent from last years’ Eid-line-product turned all-year-round item, the Sticky Dates shower gel.

Sticky Dates Co-Mingle is sold in pots of 225g and is described by Lush as a ‘wash, exfoliant and moisturiser all in one.’ After the success of both the original Co-Mingle and Sticky Dates shower gel I couldn’t wait to give it a go.

The Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub is brown, just like the shower gel of the same name. Consistency-wise it’s a little less fluffy than the original Co-Mingle, at the risk of putting people off, I’d describe it as a very watery, chocolate porridge. I admit that on a sensory level, I was wary with its formula at first. It’s not the most pleasant to look at or to get out of the pot BUT once you get to using it how it is intended to be used, all is fine, I promise.

As I said earlier, the Sticky Dates Co-Mingles scent is the same as the Sticky Dates shower gel. Its scent is truly delicious, it smells just like a hot and gooey, sticky toffee pudding with a generous scoop or 2 of vanilla ice cream. Yummy.

One of the things I really love about Lush is the thought that goes into each individual lush product. Lush never just throw random ingredients together. During Eid, dates are quite often the first food to be eaten when breaking fast. Hence the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub being a part of the Eid line.

Sticky Dates Co-Mingle contains a long list of ingredients, some of those included are, vanilla pod infusion, organic date syrup, orange juice, ground date-stones and almond shells as well as almond, argan and sandalwood oils. The ground date-stones and almond shells are the secret scrubby ingredients that makes the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle such a good exfoliator.

A very small amount of the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub goes a long way, like the original Co-Mingle I however always overindulge when using it. I scoop out about 3 fingers worth and that easily does my whole body, twice over. Unlike the original Co-Mingle, the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle starts to exfoliate immediately, it lathers up effortlessly and its delicious scent fills your bathroom as it scrubs, washes, and hydrates your skin all in one.

The Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub is just as good as the original Co-Mingle if not better. After using it my skin feels so much softer, appears brighter and is so incredibly hydrated. There really is no need to moisturise after using it. Although, I wouldn’t say no to Lush creating a Sticky Dates body lotion… The Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub also cleans just as good as any shower gel or body wash.

I adore both the Sticky Dates Lush-scent-family and the whole idea behind Co-Mingle body scrubs, I can’t wait to see what Lush create next!

Henny Penny Bubble Bar from Lush

The Henny Penny Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Easter line. This shimmering, orange coloured chicken was one of the first products from this years range to catch my attention.

You may recognise the Henny Penny bubble bars scent as it also features in the Blackberry bath bomb, Bewitched bubble bar and Sultana shower gel. It’s a very popular Lush-scent-family, and one I adore.

The Henny Penny bubble bar is incredibly detailed in a cartoon-like-way, you can make out the chicken’s feathers, beak, and eyes. It’s only a small (but very pretty) chicken, weighing in at approximately 100g each.

The Henny Penny bubble bar contains both olibanum and bergamot oils. This superb blend of essential oils are perfect for helping you wind down after a long day. The olibanum offers a sweet and gentle woody aroma while the bergamot gives it a delicate floral and citrus-fruit edge.

To use the Henny Penny bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a sieve then let the running water trickle over it as I run my bath. I find this the most effective way to use single use bubbles bars like Henny Penny.

This method is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have found that this method makes the most bubbles.


My favourite thing about Lush’s bubble bars is that unlike the bath bombs they can be easily spread out over several baths.

Sadly, with Henny Penny being quite a small bubble bar I recommend using it all in one bath. Although, the choice is all yours. I suspect spreading it over 2 baths would be fine as most Lush bubble bars are good for it.

It doesn’t take long for the blanket of fluffy white bubbles to form once you run Henny Penny under the tap. Underneath the blanket of fluffy white bubbles your bath water turns a bold orange with plenty of golden sparkles.

A Henny Penny bath leaves me just as ready for bed as the Twilight or Sleepy bath bomb does (if not more!). There’s just something so magical about the combination of olibanum and bergamot oils that really helps me drift off.

My skin feels soft and well hydrated upon getting out of a Henny Penny bath, its moreish scent also remains on my skin hours after using it.

Before the Blackberry bath bomb was discontinued it was my go-to if I was ever struggling to fall asleep. As sad as I am that the Blackberry bath bomb has gone, Henny Penny made up for it, this Easter. I hope that Lush carry on creating new products in this scent as it really is gold dust for people that struggle to fall asleep like me.

Celebrate Foaming Body Scrub from Lush

The Celebrate Foaming Body Scrub is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Easter line. 

It is sold in pots of 240g and is described on Lush’s website as a ‘Citrussy sweet celebratory scrub’ that is Lush’s take on a ‘luxurious, champagne bathing experience’. Lush have released quite a few body scrubs to date BUT none have been a foaming body scrub. 

The Celebrate foaming body scrub is a vibrant yellow colour and is a little harder consistency-wise than I am used to from Lush body scrubs. Its texture is very similar to a lip balm but with grit. 

Although it is slightly more solid than other potted, Lush-body-scrubs it’s very easy to get out of the pot, ready to use.

Celebrate foaming body scrub’s scent is as its name suggests, Celebrate scented. Celebrate is a very popular scent-family amongst Lush customers and has featured in several other recently released products such as the Tea Party bath bomb and the massage bar of the same name. Other products that share its scent are the Celebrate body spray and Golden Pudding bath bomb.

The Celebrate foaming body scrub contains a long list of ingredients, some of those included are, sweet wild orange oil, lime oil, jojoba oil and soya oil. Also included in the ingredients list is ground white rice. This is the secret-scrubby-ingredient that makes the Celebrate foaming body scrub such a great exfoliator.

A very small amount of the Celebrate foaming body scrub goes a long way, I scoop out about 3 fingers worth and that easily does my whole body. I recommend starting off by working it into wet skin slowly, this seems to get the most out of it being a scrub, once you feel like you have scrubbed enough add a little bit more water and speed up the rubbing-in to make it foam up, cleansing and exfoliating your skin all in one.

The one thing that I feel that I need to point out is that less is more when it comes down to the Celebrate foaming body scrub. I found using too much left my skin oilier than I like my skin to feel if I’m just getting out of the shower.

Its tangy citrusy scent with notes of bubbly champagne remains on your skin long after you have used it. It leaves my skin smoother, brighter-in-appearance and incredibly hydrated. There is no need to moisturise after using it.

I found that the end-result of using it, isn’t as oily-an-experience if you start off by rubbing it into your skin slowly. In short, if you don’t give it a proper chance to scrub and then foam-up it will feel very cakey on your skin once out of the shower. A small amount is best and putting it on slowly makes for the best results.

Overall, I love the Celebrate foaming body scrub. I cannot wait to see if Lush create more foaming body scrubs in the future!

Ostara Bath Bomb from Lush

The Ostara Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Easter line. At approximately 250g each, it’s HUGE. This giant, pink, rabbit-head-shaped bath bomb is big for a reason, inside of it is a hidden vibrant-yellow egg.

The Lush website states that you can either ‘pop it all in the tub to enjoy the colourful bath art or give it a tap to discover the egg inside’. I decided to use it whole as I couldn’t bring myself to crack it in half, plus you get crazy-good bath art if you use it whole…

The rabbit-head bath bomb got its name from Germanic folklore. Ostara happens to be the Goddess of Spring. Symbols of Ostara include butterflies, rabbits, and eggs.

The Ostara bath bomb shares its scent with last years (2022) super fruity, Easter product the What’s Up, Doc? shower gel.

Ingredients wise, the Ostara bath bomb contains both bergamot and lime oils and violet leaf absolute. Its scent is deliciously fruity. Primarily it’s meant to be a raspberry scent, but it has several layers to its fragrance.

The more you sniff the more you can make out. Its scent is strong, so much so, I couldn’t keep the bath bomb in my bedroom and only got the bath bomb out when I was ready to use it.

Ostara has an incredibly refreshing, mouth-watering fragrance. It’s the perfect scent for the Springtime, I can see this scent also being popular in the Summertime. I have my fingers crossed that Lush decide to release more products that share its scent in the near future.

As soon as you place the Ostara bath bomb into the water it starts to hiss, a thin pink layer of foam slowly spills out of it as its gorgeously fruity scent takes over your bathroom.

It takes a good 8 minutes before the Ostara bath bombs yellow insides make an appearance. It is at this point that the pink and yellow bath art begins.

The photos I have included in this review of the Ostara bath bomb do it no justice at all, the pretty pink and yellow patterns it created went on and on and on. It took over 15 minutes for the bath bomb to fully dissolve.

The water left behind by the Ostara bath bomb is a warm, welcoming shade of orange. Its powerful scent lasted throughout the whole bath and still lingered in the air long after the last bits of the bath water had gone down the plug hole.

The silky-smooth orange water left behind by this bath bomb are really soothing on your skin too. There is nothing subtle about the Ostara bath bombs scent and it remains on your skin for the rest of the day, long after you have got out of the bath.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Ostara bath bomb. It’s a fantastic addition to the Easter line. I hope Lush bring it back next year. As I also said earlier, I’d love to see more products come out in its scent soon too!

Time to Relax Bath Bomb from Lush

The Time to Relax Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Mother’s Day line.

Time to Relax is not the average type bath bomb, it has been specifically designed so that it can be used over 3 baths, although most people (including myself) use it all in one, as it makes one truly epic bath!

The Time to Relax bath bomb is 3 different products in 1, the photo above is all of the bath bomb pieced together. The photos below show the bath bomb with its lid off, inside of it are red bath salts.

As I said earlier, I used all 3 parts of this product in one bath starting with tipping the red bath salt into the bath water as the bath was filling up.

I was really surprised at how quickly the red bath salt changed the colour of the water, the water very quickly turns a light shade of pink and a few bubbles are created too. The salt is mixed with little pieces of what looks like the strands that Lush make into their shampoo bars.

The bath salt not only turned the bath water light pink, it also left the bath water so incredibly soft.

Next, I placed the bath bomb back together again before putting the Time to Relax bath bomb into the water.

Upon putting it in to the water you are greeted with a burst of light blue foam. As the lighter blue part of the Time to Relax bath bomb is hollow it doesn’t take long for the darker blue lid-part of the bath bomb to come into contact with the water too.

Blue, dark purple, violet and pink foam slowly starts to create swirling patterns on the water’s surface, I wasn’t expecting so many colours at all, my photos in this review do the bath bomb no justice at all.

After about 5 minutes, all of the Time to Relax bath bomb has fully dissolved, and you are left with slightly purple tinged, dark blue coloured bath water.

Now that I have talked through how I personally used the Time to Relax bath bomb let’s get into its scent.

The Time to Relax bath bomb shares its scent with the Deep Sleep bath bomb. Its scent is both soothing and relaxing, this bath bomb really does live up to its name.

The Time to Relax bath bomb contains Epsom salts, lavender absolute and the following essential oils, lavender, chamomile blue and neroli. Scent-wise my nose mostly picks up on the lavender. It’s a very sweet and herbal scent.

As I said earlier, the Time to Relax bath bomb takes approximately 5 minutes to fully dissolve, bath salts included. Other Lush bath bombs that include sea salt such as the Geo Phyzz bath bomb have much bigger chunks of salt in them so can scratch your bottom when you first get in your bath.

Time to Relax bath bombs salt is a lot more gentle as it is Epsom salt, it seems to dissolve into your bath water long before you’ve even had a chance to check if any remnants of it still remain. 

Laying back in the bath water left behind by the Time to Relax bath bomb is a true escape from the stresses of real life. It really does give you the chance to put some time aside just to relax.

The bath water is silky smooth, and my skin laps it up, upon getting out of the bath my skin feels and looks hydrated. The relaxing scent lasts on my skin for a good few hours after getting out of the bath too.

Overall, I really enjoyed some much needed me-time made even more enjoyable thanks to the Time to Relax bath bomb. I hope to see more Epsom salt-based products in Lush’s future!

Avo Cuddle Bubble Bar from Lush

The Avo Cuddle Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Mother’s Day line. This green and golden-yellow bubble bar was the first of this year’s Mother’s Day products to catch my attention, it is designed to look like a sliced-in-half avocado with a cute cartoon face.

You may recognise The Avo Cuddle bubble bars scent as it also features in the Avocado Wash shower gel and Melusine bath bomb.

The Avo Cuddle bubble bar is approximately 145g, and is relatively close to the size of an actual avocado.

The Avo Cuddle bubble bar contains lemongrass and bergamot oils, Lush’s website describe it as a ‘zesty hug in the tub’. Its scent is crazy refreshing, cheery and the fact it helps me wake up in the morning is nothing short of a miracle. I just can’t get enough of it. It’s the perfect scent to drag you out of Winter and lift you into Spring!

To use the Avo Cuddle 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 single use bubbles bars like Avo Cuddle.

This method is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have found that this method makes the most bubbles.

My favourite thing about Lush’s bubble bars is that (unlike the Lush bath bombs) they can be easily spread out over several baths. You could get 3 adequately bubbled bubble baths out of just the one Avo Cuddle bubble bar, although, I recommend trying to split it over just 2 to get the most out of it scent-wise.

I am sure using the whole thing for 1 bath would be an incredible bathing experience but with the cost-of-living crisis, if you can make a luxury product like this go a little further without it effecting the quality of your experience of it, it’s worth doing it.

It doesn’t take long for the blanket of fluffy white bubbles to form as you run the Avo Cuddle bubble bar under the tap. As the fluffy white bubbles build up, the water underneath slowly turns the most beautiful shade of electric-yellow, it glows! The Avo Cuddle scent fills your bathroom with the steam from the hot bath-water. It’s a very strongly scented bubble bar, it’s impossible to not feel energised around it.

The Avo Cuddle bubble bar leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and perfectly hydrated, I did not need to apply a body lotion or moisturiser after getting out of an Avo Cuddle bath.

The scent of the Avo Cuddle bubble bar remained in my bathroom long after the water went down the plug hole, it also lasted on my skin for a good 3 or 4 hours too.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Avo Cuddle bubble bar, it’s cute, smells amazing and is generally a very good bubble bar, I believe it will be one of the most popular products from this year’s Mother’s Day range!

Tea Party Bath Bomb from Lush

The Tea Party Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Mother’s Day line. It first became available in the middle of February alongside 1 more brand-new bath bomb (review on the way) and 2 re-released Mother’s Day bath bombs, the Jasmine, and Atom Heart Mother.

Each Tea Party bath bomb is approximately 85g each, so it is on the smaller side. When I first ordered it, I completely missed its size listed on the Lush website. I was surprised to see that it was so small upon its arrival, its size just didn’t seem to match its high price.

I don’t normally mention the price of Lush products in my reviews as they change so often and are ordinarily a little higher due to all of the ingredients used being ethically sourced BUT the fact so many Lush bath bombs are now close to £5 each (or over), leaves me feeling unsettled enough to mention it, I fear Lush will soon price themselves out and I really don’t want that to happen.

The Tea Party bath bomb is hot pink with sky-blue dots. It’s designed in the shape of a tea pot with a heart indentation in its middle. This bath bomb isn’t the first tea pot shaped bath bomb that Lush have released. I feel like Lush have pulled inspiration for the Tea Party bath bomb from both the, The Elephant in the Tea Room and More Tea and Sympathy bath bombs. Both of these products being from past Mother’s Day lines too.

Being honest as always, I’m not sure if I completely like this bath bombs design. All of Lush’s bath bombs are handmade but the quality of them is so good, that you can never normally tell. Comparing Tea Party to the other tea pot shaped bath bombs from past lines, they just look a little rushed in my opinion. Very thrown together.

Another thing I was surprised about with the Tea Party bath bomb (this time in a positive way) was its scent. The Tea Party bath bomb is a part of the Celebrate Lush-scent-family. You’ll recognise it mainly from Lush Christmas products such as the Golden Wonder bath bomb and Bubbly shower gel.

The Tea Party bath bomb contains sweet wild orange oil, lime oil and a generous helping of popping candy too. Its scent is warm, bubbly, and full of citrusy goodness. I often say that the Celebrate scent-family smells of happiness as even just one small whiff of it puts a smile on my face.

The Celebrate scent seems to work in whatever product format Lush make it into. Lush have never released a Celebrate scented product that I haven’t wanted to try.

As soon as the Tea Party bath bomb hits the water a burst of pink foam erupts from it. Tiny pink bubbles spill out of it as it floats around your bath. It doesn’t take long for the blue dots to make an appearance bath art wise, then the popping candy kicks in too. The colours spilling out of it (although on a much smaller scale) really remind me of the Monsters’ Ball bath bomb.

I imagine if the Tea Party bath bomb was bigger, we’d have got some much more impressive bath art out of it. The Tea Party bath bomb had fully dissolved in less than 3 minutes which doesn’t leave much time for pretty patterns. The small amount of bath art it did create was very pretty though, my photos in this review do the bath bomb no justice at all.

I’m going to be honest and say that the Tea Party bath bomb definitely isn’t my favourite product from this year’s Mother’s Day line BUT I did enjoy the pink bath water it created and of course it’s gorgeous Celebrate scent.

After getting out of the bath my skin felt smooth and the moreish Celebrate-scent remained on my skin for the next few hours too.

Salt Water Soother Magnesium Bath Bomb from Lush

Straight after Christmas 2022, Lush released a range of magnesium-based products. The new collection contains 3 magnesium massage bars and 2 Epsom salt bath-bomb-cubes. Today I am reviewing one of the Epsom salt bath-bomb-cubes, the Salt Water Soother Magnesium Bath Bomb.

The magnesium range was created with exercise and muscle recovery in mind as magnesium is said to have many benefits on your body before, during and after exercise.

While each of the magnesium products within this line have been made to help support exercise performance with a focus on your muscles and mind but you’ll be fine using them without exercising before/after too. 😉 *exhales a sigh of relief*

As a wheelchair user, exercise isn’t really my thing but anything that I can use that helps with aches and pains is a must try for me. The Deep Sleep Magnesium bath bomb is more focused on winding down after exercise, while the Salt Water Soother bath bomb is all about adding a spring to your step afterwards.

Epsom salt is very popular to use in hot baths to help with muscle pain, even though I don’t exercise as much as I’d like due to illness, I do get a lot of muscle pain. This is what drew me to the magnesium range and if I’m honest, pain relief is why I first got into Lush in the first place.

The Salt Water Soother bath bomb is cube shaped, 1 half of it is yellow and the other is blue. They are approximately 180g each so a little bit smaller than the average sized Lush bath bomb.

The Salt Water Soother bath bomb contains, peppermint, eucalyptus and spearmint oils. It has a super uplifting scent, just one sniff could wake the sleepiest of souls. The eucalyptus and peppermint in it are what my nose picks up on the most. I can see this bath bomb also being a good pick-me-up if you have a cold or worst still, a hangover!

As soon as the Salt Water Soother bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a loud hiss. The yellow and blue colour that spills out of the bath bomb are bold and bright. Like the aforementioned bath bomb, Deep Sleep Magnesium, the Salt Water Soother is a very quick dissolver and didn’t create any bath art.

The Salt Water Soother bath bombs scent intensifies and engulfs your bathroom from the moment the bath bomb touches the hot water. Within just 2 minutes the Salt Water Soother bath bomb has fully dissolved leaving you with super soft, neon green bath water. This bath bombs star qualities are its scent and how it leaves you feeling both physically and mentally.

My skin lapped up the wonderfully soothing magnesium infused waters, it left my skin so incredibly soft and really did make a difference to my aching muscles. Laying back in its waters leaves me feeling energised and refreshed.

Overall, I loved everything about the Salt Water Soother bath bomb. Its scent and its ingredients really do leave my muscles soothed and ready to take on the rest of the day. Used in the morning it really does make a difference on how my day goes.

If you’re chasing a boost of energy in a nice and relaxing atmosphere, I couldn’t recommend using the Salt Water Soother bath bomb more. Although I no longer do much exercise, it really does put a spring in my step!
