Hot Cross Bunny Bubble Bar from Lush

The Hot Cross Bunny Bubble Bar (a pun of hot cross buns) is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Easter line. Designed to look like a very unhappy Easter bunny I couldn’t love his grumpy little face more! With that face, I knew he’d be the first of the 2024 Easter line that I’d try…

I was lucky enough to get to try Hot Cross Bunny before its official release as Lush kindly sent me one to try.

The Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar shares its scent with the Gingerbread House bubble bar and Mercury Retrograde bath bomb.

Each Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar weighs in at approximately 80g, it’s the perfect size for fitting in my hand.

The Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar contains a long list of stimulating and warming ingredients; Buchu oil, ginger oil, Sicilian lemon oil and ginger powder.

The Hot Cross Bunny’s scent is mouth-wateringly-good; Its mix of ginger oil and powder is what gives it, its spicy kick. It’s super warming and the more you sniff the more you are reminded of gingerbread biscuits.

It’s quite a soft bubble bar too making it easy to crumble up, ready to run under a running tap.

To use the Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a sieve and let the running bath-water trickle over it.

I find the sieve method the most effective way to use Lush’s single use bubble bars. It is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted. Through trial and error, I have found that using bubble bars like this makes the most bubbles too.

The one thing that I usually love about Lush’s bubble bars over their bath bombs is that they can easily be spread out over several baths. However, With Hot Cross Bunny being so small I recommend using the whole thing in one bath, this will ensure that you get the most out of it.

I tried sharing the Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar over two different baths and although both weren’t bad baths, it did compromise on its scent-quality ever so slightly. I therefore really do recommend using the whole thing if it’s just the bubble bar that you are using. (It would probably be ok to spread out if you were using other products such as a bath bomb with it too though!)

The blanket of fluffy white bubbles starts to grow as soon as you place the broken-up pieces of the Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar under the running tap. Underneath the fast-building blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns an inviting shade of orange.

Once in the bath, I couldn’t help but notice how creamy and soft the water was. A Hot Cross Bunny bubble-bar-bath leaves your skin feeling soft, hydrated and toasty. It’s a good bubble bar to use if you have any aches and pains that need soothing.

Once out of the bath, its scent although a lot more subtle, lasts on your skin for a good-few-hours.

Overall, I really like the Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar, I wish Lush would make more products in this scent as it’s perfect for the Wintertime. I always said that the Gingerbread House bubble bar that shares Hot Cross Bunny’s scent was a favourite of mine so getting to experience its scent again through Hot Cross Bunny was a real treat!

Blooming Beautiful Marigold 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 yellow one, the Blooming Beautiful Marigold 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. 

Looking at the bath bombs through Lush’s website it’s always so hard to believe that they are all handmade.

The Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb is bright yellow and contains, bergamot oil, buchu oil, grapefruit oil and tagetes oil and shares its scent with another recently released limited edition product, the Cempasúchil bath bomb.

I’d however say that Blooming Beautiful Marigold isn’t nearly as strongly scented as Cempasúchil was.

Blooming Beautiful Marigolds scent is a very light and refreshing, warm, fruity fragrance. If you like the Lush products that aren’t in-your-face smelly, Blooming Beautiful Marigold would be a great choice for you.

I usually buy two of each bath bomb and out of the three Blooming Beautiful bath bombs, the Marigolds were the only ones that both arrived without a broken or crumbly daisy on its top.

As soon as the Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a hiss of yellow coloured foam.

The Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb doesn’t offer anything too artsy bath-art-wise, but it does create lots of yellow and white bubbles as it dissolves away.

While the bath bomb dances around your bath, its scent seems to be watered down even more which was a little bit disappointing.

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

The waters left behind by the Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb were a crazy-bright yellow, so bright that I thought it was glowing!

The waters of the Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb were also incredibly soft, a good soak in it left my skin feeling smooth and my body super relaxed. It’s a very good bath bomb to use to get you ready for the changing of Winter into Spring.

The scent wasn’t at all detectable on my skin once I was all dried off, but my skin remained silky smooth to the touch.

Overall, I did enjoy using the Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb, it allowed me to get some beautiful floral photos, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy another based on how weak its scent was.

Blooming Beautiful Orange Blossom 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 pink one, the Blooming Beautiful Orange Blossom 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, looking at the bath bomb through Lush’s website it was hard to believe that each of them are handmade.

The Blooming Beautiful Orange Blossom bath bomb is a bold and bright shade of pink and contains sweet wild orange oil, lime oil and orange flower absolute.

Its scent is very similar to what is used in the Tea Party bath bomb, Bubbly shower gel and Celebrate foaming body scrub. Although, it’s not nearly as punchy. It’s a very light and gentle citrus fragrance, with a sweeter scent-layer than the three products I just compared it to, which I believe comes from the orange flower absolute.

The one thing I didn’t want to mention but it happened to my blue version of the Blooming Beautiful bath bomb too so will, is how fragile the daisy-flower is on the top of this bath bomb. One of my pink ones arrived with the daisy smashed to bits which is a shame as the flower part of the bath bomb is so beautiful when you receive it how it should be.

Luckily my friend got me an absolutely perfect Blooming Beautiful Orange Blossom bath bomb for my birthday on the 5th, so this is the one I photographed in this post!

As soon as the Blooming Beautiful Orange Blossom bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a hiss of pink coloured foam.

The Blooming Beautiful Orange Blossom bath bomb doesn’t offer anything too artsy bath-art-wise, but it does create lots of pink, yellow and white bubbles as it dissolves away.

While the bath bomb is in action, its scent is still subtle but manages to fill your bathroom, it’s a very Springtime appropriate scent that I can never resist.

Amazingly, the Blooming Beautiful Orange Blossom bath bomb took over 20 minutes to fully dissolve, I found myself topping up the bath with hot water as it fizzed away, something I’m not used to with Lush bath bombs.

I imagined that the waters left behind by the Blooming Beautiful Orange Blossom bath bomb would be bright pink like the bath bomb, but they were more of a coral-orange.

I found the coral-orange waters left behind by the Blooming Beautiful Orange Blossom bath bomb to be incredibly soft, a good soak in its waters left my skin feeling smooth and my body super relaxed. It’s the perfect product to use to lift you out of your Winter slump and throw you into a brighter Spring.

The scent wasn’t at all detectable on my skin once I was all dried off, but my skin remained silky smooth to the touch after use.

Overall, I did really enjoy using the Blooming Beautiful Orange Blossom bath bomb and can’t wait to get a hold of an unbroken version of the blue one so I can use it and review that one too!
