The Intergalactic Block Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from the Minecraft X Lush collaboration, I was lucky enough to be sent one by Lush earlier this week.
Minecraft is an open-world video game that lets players build, explore and survive in a virtual world. In it, players can use blocks to build absolutely anything they want. In the Minecraft X Lush line, Lush have created five ‘Block-bath-bombs’ and today I’m reviewing the Intergalactic Block bath bomb.
Before this line came out, I had heard of the Minecraft game but had never played it. Since, I have finally tried the game as I wanted to see what all the fuss was about… I’m not great with games but can see why so many spend hours on it. Had it have come out when I was a little younger, I could see younger me getting very into it!
The Intergalactic Block bath bomb is just a cube shaped Intergalactic bath bomb. With the Intergalactic bath bomb being a best seller it was only natural for Lush to give it a Minecraft face lift; I know some feel a little cheated with it just being a different shaped Intergalactic bath bomb but I think it’s great, we already know it sells well and while it’s not directly marketed at children, if it makes bath time easier for just one parent I’m here for it.
Each Intergalactic Block bath bomb is only 90g so fits snuggly in your hand. The normal Intergalactic bath bomb is 200g so just think of it as a smaller version of one of the best bath bombs in the world!
The Intergalactic Block bath bomb is space blue with hot pink and yellow streak like patches. The colours clash so well, it’s a beautiful design that is almost too pretty to use.
The Intergalactic Block bath bomb contains peppermint oil, grapefruit oil, vetivert oil, cedarwood oil and a small helping of popping candy.
Its scent is predominantly peppermint based; The grapefruit in it is however noticeable but I wouldn’t say it was a particularly fruity or citrusy fragrance. The grapefruit adds a layer to the peppermint scent which is sharp and something I can only really describe as, a clean smell. In ways it is almost like a very minty mouthwash with a sharp grapefruit twist.
As soon as the Intergalactic Block bath bomb touches your bath water you are greeted with an explosion of blue foam; Smaller bits of yellow and pink begin to foam out of it too.
It doesn’t take long for the bath bomb to be completely taken over by the water, it charges around the bath sending yellow, pink and mostly blue bubbles across the water’s surface.
Comparing the Intergalactic Block bath bomb with the normal Intergalactic bath bomb it doesn’t create as much bath art, but you still get the same three beautiful colours from it. After about three minutes the popping candy within the Intergalactic Block bath bomb starts to put on a show too, popping and crackling away.
I’d say that the water left behind by the Intergalactic Block bath bomb is a little greener than I remember the ordinary Intergalactic bath bomb end-water to be.
After just under ten minutes, the bath bomb has fully dissolved leaving you with cooling, silky soft, green-blue bath water that is decorated throughout with golden lustre. Inspired by the Milky Way, I like nothing more than to sit back and soak in the refreshing and relaxing Intergalactic scent.
Once out of the bath, my skin felt smooth and hydrated. Scent wise, I can still smell it on me several hours after getting out of the bath. My bathroom also has the scent of the bath bomb in the air long after the last drop of bath water has gone down the plug hole.
As I said earlier, I know some people feel as if Lush should have left this bath bomb out of the Minecraft X Lush line focusing on new bath bomb blocks that aren’t related to an already existing and readily bath bomb, but I quite enjoyed revisiting it in a different shape, it’s certainly got me excited to try the other Minecraft X Lush products!
