Whispering Heart Bath Bomb from Lush

The Whispering Heart Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Valentine’s Day line.

Whispering Heart is one of the sweetest looking bath bombs from this year’s Valentine’s Day range. It’s mainly hot pink in colour and has a red heart on its top, right in the middle of the red heart is a heart shaped hole (unfortunately none of mine look quite as good as those featured on Lush’s website) but that’s the shape that the hole in my photos of this bath bomb should be.

Lush’s website says you’re meant to ‘whisper your heart’s desire into this sweet and fruity-fragranced Valentine’s Day bath bomb.’ which explains the purpose of the heart hole!

Weighing in at approximately 180g each, the Whispering Heart bath bomb is the standard sized Lush bath bomb, it fits snuggly in my hand.

The Whispering Heart bath bomb contains Epsom salts, bergamot oil and Brazilian orange oil. Its scent is a part of the Rhubarb and Custard Lush-scent-family, but the scent has only ever been released in a soap format before now.

I have been dreading writing this part of the review on the Whispering Heart bath bomb as I really don’t know where to begin when describing its scent. As I stated earlier, the bath bomb is fragranced with Lush’s Rhubarb and custard scent-family.

In ways its scent does remind me of rhubarb and custard sweets but it’s a lot stronger and less creamy, it’s how I’d imagine a rhubarb and custard slushie-ice-drink would smell. (I hope that makes sense…)

My nose doesn’t pick up on anything rhubarb, but I can’t smell or taste rhubarb in rhubarb and custard boiled sweets either so that’s not a negative!

It’s a very moreish scent that works brilliantly in the bath bomb format.

As soon as the Whispering Heart bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a thick burst of pink foam, very quickly the foam thins out and looks more like what I have captured in the photo above.

As the bath bomb floats around your bath, red and hot-pink foam spills out of it.

Once in the water the bath bombs scent engulfs your bathroom, I could see the scent selling well in a perfume format.

Halfway through the bath bomb fizzing away, the red heart shaped part of the bath bomb separates from the pink bit creating 2 different lots of swirls, one red, the other pink.

The bath art isn’t as colourful as some Lush bath bombs, but it did create a small amount of red and pink circles as seen in the photo below.The Whispering Heart bath bomb takes approximately 15 minutes to fully dissolve and turns your bath water a bold and very bright shade of raspberry pink.

I found the waters left behind by the Whispering Heart bath bomb really warming on your skin.

The scent remains in your bathroom (although a lot more subtle) long after you pull the plug and lasts on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day too.

My skin felt clean, refreshed, and appeared brighter after soaking in the water left behind by the Whispering Heart bath bomb.

I think my favourite thing about the Whispering Heart bath bomb is the colour of the water once it has fully dissolved. I couldn’t help but feel invited in by the raspberry pink water and its sweet and fruity scent!

I really enjoyed using the Whispering Heart bath bomb, it isn’t my favourite from this year’s Valentine’s day range but with pink being my favourite colour I was always going to buy a few to use.

Snuggles Shower Gel from Lush

The Snuggles Shower Gel started off its Lush life as a product from the 2024 Mother’s Day line and upon its release will be available in 3 different sized bottles, 115g, 275g and 550g.

I was lucky enough to get to try the Snuggles shower gel before its initial release as Lush gifted me a bottle, it’s set to be available in all UK stores from the 1st of February.

The Snuggles shower gel is described as a comforting, buttery cuddle. If you’ve used the Butterball bath bomb, you’ll recognise its scent straight away.

Snuggles isn’t the first Butterball scented shower gel to be released, the original was called Butterball shower gel. It was popular but incredibly thick making it hard to get out of the bottle.

Snuggles shower gel has the same great scent as the Butterball shower gel but has a brand new ‘cocoa butter suspension formulation’. The formula is a lot thinner; it could easily be a body milk.

Snuggles shower gel contains fine sea salt, fair trade organic cocoa butter and Ghanaian ylang ylang oil. It is sweet but not in an unpleasant way, it reminds me of vanilla ice cream but also has elements of chocolate to its scent too.

A very small amount of Snuggles goes a long way, I have even tried it without wetting my hands first just to get a feel of its true consistency; There has never been a creamier shower gel from Lush, without water it was like I was lathering up a heavy duty moisturiser.

Just a splash of warm water helps to really lather the Snuggles shower gel up, it glides over your skin leaving it clean, hydrated and so very soft.

I could see the Snuggles shower gel being perfect for anyone with sensitive skin but always recommend a patch test before use.

Its scent really shines through when combined with the hot water and steam from your shower and it feels incredible lathered up on your skin.

There is no need at all to moisturise after using this shower gel, making it not only an amazing smelling shower gel but also a product that saves you much needed time as well.

I can still smell the Butterball scent on my skin long after getting out of the shower, my skin feels soft and appears perfectly hydrated well into the next day too.

If you are looking for a creamier shower gel that not only cleans but hydrates and soothes skin too, look no further.

Overall, I am very impressed with the Snuggles shower gel and plan on grabbing a few more bottles before Mother’s Day is through. Lush would be mad to not make this shower gel a main line product. I have my fingers crossed that they do as it’s wonderful!

Love Potion Bath Bomb from Lush

The Love Potion Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Valentine’s Day line.

Weighing in at approximately 75g each, the Love Potion bath bomb is even smaller than the Love Letter bath bomb from the same line.

Through my love of Lush and their world-famous bath bombs, I have however learnt that bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. I never judge a bath bomb on first look as the plainer ones can often give you the best of surprises during use.

The Love Potion is just that, a bath bomb designed to resemble a mini potion bottle. The Love Potion bath bomb is not to be confused with the Magic Potion bath bomb, both are very different, the only thing they have in common are their potion names.

This dark violet, magical potion shaped bottle is decorated with a sprinkling of white and light pink miniature love hearts.

The Love Potion bath bomb contains Sicilian red Mandarin oil, almond essential oil, orris root powder, wafer paper, candy hearts and a generous helping of popping candy.

Lush’s website explains why some of the ingredients in the Love Potion were chosen; For example, orris root powder is supposedly known for its magical use of finding and holding onto love… If you believe in the power of the orris root, it’s definitely worth a try!

The Love Potion bath bomb’s scent is a powdery, fruity-sweet mixture, on first sniff I can smell a candy-like blend of strawberry and raspberry. Strangely, it actually really reminds me of one of my childhood toys, a scented My Little Pony.

As soon as the Love Potion bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a hiss of violet coloured foam with flecks of blue in. The popping candy kicks in almost immediately, crackling away as the bath bomb floats upon the bath water’s surface.

The Love Potion bath bomb doesn’t offer anything too artsy bath-art-wise, but thanks to the popping candy and violet foam that spills out of it, it does put on a beautiful show.

The small pink and white candy hearts slowly break away from the bath bomb dropping to the bottom of the bath before completely dissolving.

Amazingly, the Love Potion bath bomb took just over 10 minutes to fully dissolve, I was not expecting this considering its smaller than average size.

I didn’t realise until after I had used the Love Potion bath bomb that it also has the same silky-soft, wafer paper bits in that you’ll be familiar with if you have ever used the Dragon’s Egg bath bomb.

I found the dark violet waters left behind by the Love Potion bath bomb to be incredibly soft, a good soak in its waters left my skin silky-smooth and a lot less dry. It’s perfect for dry Winter skin but I can also see it working well in warmer months too because of its fruity fragrance.

Unfortunately, the Love Potion scent didn’t remain on my skin for very long at all but how soft it made my skin lasted right into the following day.

Overall, I think that the Love Potion bath bomb is another amazing addition to the Valentine’s Day line, I cannot recommend it enough, it may be small, but it is one of the best bath bombs from this year’s range, it has made a lasting impression on me!
