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!

Sticky Dates Sugar Scrub from Lush

Sticky Dates Sugar Scrub is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024’s Easter line. I was lucky enough to get to try it before its initial release as Lush gifted me a pot.

Back in August 2023 Lush released the Barbie Dream sugar scrub and I have never loved an exfoliation product from Lush more. I knew there and then that Lush needed to make more sugar scrubs.

Since then, we’ve had The Old Songs are Waking sugar scrub and now, Sticky Dates!

The Sticky Dates sugar scrub comes in both a 135g and 290g pot and contains caster sugar, golden caster sugar, fair trade organic cocoa butter, argan oil, extra virgin coconut oil, carob resinoid, benzoin resinoid, sandalwood oil and date syrup.

As you can see in the photo below the Sticky Dates sugar scrub looks like sparkly, golden sand.

The Sticky Dates sugar scrub shares its scent with several incredibly popular products, there’s the Sticky Dates shower gel, Sticky Dates body spray and Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub just to name a few.

Its scent is quite simply DELICIOUS. It smells like a hot and gooey sticky toffee pudding with a generous scoop or 2 of vanilla ice cream.

Consistency-wise, the Sticky Dates sugar scrub is thick, it’s just like the Barbie Dream and the, The Old Songs are Waking sugar scrubs that I mentioned earlier. Perfect!

On the pot it says, ‘shower in hydrating argan oil and golden caster sugar which gently exfoliates then dissolves, leaving your skin soft and moisturised.’

After scooping out a small amount, I lathered it up and went straight to work with it.

I advise rubbing the sugar scrub in, in small, circular motions followed by rinsing it off. A small amount of the scrub goes a very long way, and I was pleasantly surprised at just how quickly it lathered up too. If you feel you need more, grab more!

I am just as impressed with the Sticky Dates sugar scrub for exfoliation as I was the other two previously mentioned sugar scrubs.

Lush really do need to make more sugar scrubs in all of their best-selling scents, all of the ones that have been released so far have been absolutely incredible. I’d love a Halloween sugar scrub in the Zesty body spray scent.

I speak so highly of Lush’s sugar scrubs because of how they make my skin feel after using them. Lush’s new sugar-scrub-formula is gentle, moisturising but incredibly scrubby at the same time.

With Sticky Dates and the other sugar scrubs, Lush have balanced the ratio of caster sugar and skin-moisturising ingredients perfectly. Sticky Dates is just as buttery as it is scrubby. Lush’s sugar scrubs are some of the best exfoliators I have ever used. There’s no need for body lotion afterwards and my skin has never looked so bright.

Overall, I can’t get enough of the Sticky Dates sugar scrub, and I won’t be surprised if the Sticky Dates sugar scrub becomes a mainline product at some point.

Blooming Beautiful Chamomile Bath Bomb from Lush

For Mother’s Day 2024, Lush have created three Blooming Beautiful bath bombs. Each have a different scent and they come in either a pink, yellow or a blue.

Today I am reviewing the blue one, the Blooming Beautiful Chamomile Bath Bomb.

Each of the Blooming Beautiful bath bombs are decorated with the same white petaled daisy on its top.

When the 2024 Mother’s Day collection was first announced, the Blooming Beautiful bath bombs were the first of the new limited-edition products to catch my attention. The daisy hat that each of them wear is so detailed. It could almost be a real daisy.

Looking at the bath bombs through Lush’s website they look almost too good for them to be handmade. Yet, they are! 

The Blooming Beautiful Chamomile bath bomb is a striking shade of blue and contains the following ingredients: Roman chamomile oil, Sicilian lemon oil and styrax resinoid.

Out of the three Blooming Beautiful bath bombs, Blooming Beautiful Chamomile is the one with the lightest fragrance.

With the bath bombs scent being so gentle, it is perfect for customers that don’t like anything that smells too intense.

Before I had the bath bomb in my hands, I imagined that the Blooming Beautiful Chamomile bath bomb’s scent would be chamomile led, I was therefore surprised when my nose seemed to only pick up on the Sicilian lemon in it.

As soon as the Blooming Beautiful Chamomile bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a hiss of blue foam.

The Blooming Beautiful Chamomile bath bomb doesn’t offer anything too artsy bath-art-wise, but it does create lots of mostly blue and white bubbles, there are also a small number of yellow bubbles as it dissolves away too.

While the bath bomb dances around your bath, the lemon and chamomile oil in the bath bomb seem to get a little stronger but the scent is still incredibly subtle. It reminds me of the scented wipes you get given sometimes after you’ve finished eating in certain restaurants.

Amazingly, the Blooming Beautiful Chamomile bath bomb took just over 15 minutes to fully dissolve, I found myself topping up the bath with hot water as it tinkered away.

The waters left behind by the Blooming Beautiful Chamomile bath bomb were a very inviting shade of sky blue. The waters also feel super silky in an almost creamy way.

A good soak in a Blooming Beautiful Chamomile bath left my skin feeling much softer and helped my body to relax. It’s a very good bath bomb to use to wind down after a long day, or just to get you in the perfect frame of mind for a restful night’s sleep.

The scent wasn’t at all detectable on my skin once I was all dried off, but my skin remained silky smooth for the best part of the rest of the day.

Overall, I did enjoy using the Blooming Beautiful Chamomile bath bomb, but I personally like bath bombs with a little more to give scent and bath art wise.
