Iconic Door Bath Bomb from Lush

The Iconic Door Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection.

It’s designed in the shape of the door from the Lush store where it all began, 29 High Street, Poole. AKA the first ever Lush shop in the world!

The Iconic Door bath bomb is an arched-door-shaped, white coloured bath bomb that is smothered in golden shimmer…

At its top is the famous 29½ door number. One day I’d love to actually see the door in real life but for now I will just enjoy it through this incredible bath bomb.

The Iconic Door bath bomb contains jasmine absolute, Siicilian lemon oil, lime oil, sandalwood oil, tonka absolute and ylang ylang oil.

Iconic Doors scent smells just like a Lush shop, the Lush scent family it belongs to is called 29 High Street (after the first store) and was purposely designed to emulate exactly how a Lush-shop smells.

There’s a 29 High Street shower gel that shares its scent which I promise to review on here as soon as I can unpack my shower gels (that are temporarily in storage).

You’ll probably most recently recognise the scent from the Aubergine bath bomb though!

Each Iconic Door bath bomb is approximately 100g each making it one of the smaller bath bombs that Lush currently have available, BUT if there’s one thing that Lush has taught me over the years it is that size doesn’t dictate a products quality.

As soon as the Iconic Door bath bomb meets your bath water it begins to fizzle away, white bubbles spill out of it before small streams of blue bubbles start to erupt from it too.

What’s so magical about this bath bomb is that when it is dry it is white but once it encounters any moisture, it turns blue.

I’m not sure of the exact science behind it but it’s a new innovation that I’d love to see more of in future bath bombs. What a lovely and unexpected twist!

The Iconic Door bath bomb dissolves in just three minutes, turning your bath water an aqua green colour with golden shimmer throughout.

Immediately after the bath bomb has dissolved, there is a collection of thin white bubbles floating on the surface of the water still. It almost looks like a crackle effect, which immediately reminds me of the end result you get from the Thundersnow bath bomb.

The crackly bath art soon disappears, and you’re left with silky soft, Lush-store-scented bath water. The scent also remains on your skin for a good few hours after using it.

A soak in an Iconic Door bath leaves your skin lightly scented, refreshed and hydrated. I love this bath bomb and have my fingers crossed that Lush release similar colour changing products in the future!

Super Milk Shower Gel from Lush

The Super Milk Shower Gel is one of six that Lush are releasing a limited amount of on the Lush app on 26th of June 2024. They will also be available in selected Lush flagship stores.

I was lucky enough to get the Super Milk shower gel early as Lush gifted me a bottle of it, along with a bottle of the Guardian of the Forest shower gel too.

The Super Milk shower gel is a creamy white colour and has a slightly runny consistency, I recommend giving it a shake before using it as I find this helps thicken it up a little.

The Super Milk shower gel contains almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, fine sea salt, litsea cubeba oil, tonka absolute, vanilla absolute, fresh lemon juice and bucketloads of glycerine making it incredibly moisturising.

Its scent is best described as sherbet like, it also has noticeable layers of sweet vanilla and tonka, when sniffing it straight from the bottle it reminds me of fizzy sweets.

I haven’t reviewed any of the other Super Milk scented products yet but promise to do one on the perfume equivalent soon. The first product that came out with its scent was actually a hair conditioning spray. A few years ago the conditioning spray went viral on TikTok and now here we are with a shower gel equivalent!

The Super Milk shower gel lathers up easily and because it’s not very thick a small amount of it goes a long way.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really comes to life. I admit I found myself using a little more of the shower gel than necessary just because it felt so nice on my skin.

Once out of the shower the Super Milk scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day, although it is not as strong on your skin it is still very noticeable.

I had used it in the early afternoon and my husband could smell it on me when he got home from work at about 7pm.

Overall, I LOVE the Super Milk shower gel, I hope Lush decide to rerelease it as a part of their all year-round range eventually as its scent is to die for. It’s my favourite Super Milk scented product so far.

My favourite thing about it is how it leaves your skin feeling. The trio of plant-based milks included in the Super Milk shower gel really go to town on skin hydration, there’s no need to moisturise after using it.

It isn’t at all oily either. soaking right into your skin leaving it looking its best. I will be using this shower gel a lot over the next few weeks with the hot weather finally arriving in the UK, I suspect it would be especially good to use in colder months too, my skin is always a little dryer come Wintertime.

Magic Bus Bath Bomb from Lush

The Magic Bus Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection. It’s designed in the shape of a bright yellow bus and is decorated with a row of multicoloured candy-flower shaped pieces.

Many customers have compared the design of the Magic Bus bath bomb to the bus that featured in the CBBC program Playdays many years ago, others have said the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo.

When I first see the Magic Bus, I thought of it as a bit of a novelty bath bomb. Compared to the likes of the other bath bombs in the same range such as, Time of the Season, Thermal Waves and Passion bath bombs it just doesn’t demand the same amount of immediate attention as those, but despite this, it has sold well.

Its lower price has certainly helped it become one of the most popular from the World Bath Bomb Day collection, but with its candy decorations, it does have a certain extra charm to it upon second look.

The Magic Bus bath bomb contains Brazilian orange oil, coriander seed oil, lemongrass oil and argan oil. The Magic Bus bath bomb shares its scent with the Big Calm shower jelly and current Liverpool store exclusive, the Yellow Submarine bath bomb.

If you’ve been a Lush customer for some time, you’ll know that the scent family that the Magic Bus bath bomb is from, is called Big Calm.

If year-round-sunshine had a scent, it would smell just like Big Calm. For me, it smells just like a tall glass of piña colada, it is a very popular scent all year through but with its cocktail fragrance I find myself craving it more in the Summer months.

Each Magic Bus bath bomb is approximately 105g each making it one of the smallest bath bombs currently available from Lush, BUT if there’s one thing that Lush has taught me over the years, it is that size doesn’t dictate a products quality.

As soon as the Magic Bus bath bomb meets your bath water it begins to fizzle away. It’s not a particularly foamy bath bomb but spits out lots of yellow.

The multicoloured candy flower-shaped pieces fall out quite early on, sinking to the bottom of the bath. The bath bomb part however stays afloat, zooming around your bath like a mini speed boat.

The Magic Bus bath bomb dissolves quite quickly. Although, for its size I expected it to be a lot quicker than just over four minutes!

It doesn’t produce any bath art, but it does create bright yellow bath water. The piña colada scent remains in your bathroom right up until the last drop of bath water drains away. The scent also remains on your skin for a good few hours after using it too although, a lot more subtle.

Once out of the bath, my skin felt hydrated and fresh. I’m glad Lush decided to bring this scent back as it’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to use it, my only complaint is that it’s made me really want to go on a beach holiday!
