Asteroid Bath Bomb from Lush

2023 has been a very busy year for Lush, not only are they churning out products from their normal seasonal lines but also taking part in collaboration after collaboration too. Today I am reviewing the Asteroid Bath Bomb from the Lush X Asteroid City collab!

Unfortunately, my local cinema closed so I still haven’t seen the new Asteroid City movie but that hasn’t stopped me from appreciating this mini collab.

The Asteroid bath bomb is shaped just as its name suggests, it’s a mix of dark shimmery blue and purple and even has crater holes.

The Asteroid bath bomb shares its scent with the Asteroid City shower gel from the same line as well as the Space Girl bath bomb and Very Very Frightening shower gel.

Asteroid contains grapefruit, bergamot, and almond oils as well as a generous helping of popping candy.

The ‘Space Girl scent’ is a much-loved scent family within the Lush community and I’m always happy to try it, in whatever format Lush chooses to release it in.

The Asteroid bath bombs scent isn’t an easy one to describe but I’ll give it my best shot, the first thing that I think of when sniffing the Asteroid bath bomb is raspberries. It’s a very gentle, berry scent.

It is not at all overpowering like some Lush scents are. It would be a good choice if you prefer the softer Lush scents.

The Asteroid bath bomb is the same size as the standard Lush bath bomb such as, Avobath or Twilight and fits snuggly in my hand.

As soon as the Asteroid bath bomb encounters your bath water a burst of blue, purple, and red foam bursts out of it. Slowly it starts to fizz away, charging around your bath like a mini speed boat.

As it spins around, blue, purple, and red bath art continues to spill out of it. The bath art colours are not dissimilar to the likes created by the Intergalactic bath bomb.

It doesn’t take long for the popping candy within the Asteroid bath bomb to make an appearance either. As the bath bomb spills out the array of colours and raspberry-like scent, the popping candy snap, crackles, and pops away putting on quite the show.

The photos in this review do the Asteroid bath bomb no justice at all. The bath art was insanely pretty!

It takes a good 10 minutes for the Asteroid bath bomb to fully dissolve, the water it leaves behind is a beautiful shade of purply blue. It’s incredibly shimmery, making me think of the nights sky. It’s like laying back in your own galaxy.

The water is a little tingly on my skin which I often find is the case when a bath bomb contains popping candy.

My skin laps up all the bath bombs goodness, leaving it feeling silky smooth. Once you’re out of the bath the light raspberry scent can still be smelt on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day too.

Overall, I really enjoyed having a new bath bomb to try in the ‘Space Girl’ scent, I do love the Space Girl bath bomb, but the bath art is what really sets the Asteroid bath bomb apart from the Space Girl bath bomb.

I am looking forward to reviewing further products from this collab over the next few days!

Absolute Delight Bath Bomb from Lush

My favourite thing about the Lush Kitchen is that it gives Lush customers the chance to try long-forgotten products from Lush’s product-archive. The Absolute Delight Bath Bomb is one of Lush’s older, original bath bombs and one I have always wanted to try.

Fortunately, the Absolute Delight bath bomb made it into the Lush Kitchen Subscription box back in February of this year (2023), so I finally got to use the Absolute Delight bath bomb and what an absolute delight it was!

As far as I am aware the Absolute Delight bath bomb does not share a scent with any other Lush product, it’s truly one of a kind.

The Absolute Delight bath bomb isn’t as eye catching as some of Lush’s newer bath bombs, it has a plain and simple design, much like all of the original bath bombs first invented and created by one of Lush’s co-founders, Mo Constantine (AKA Mrs Lush!).

The Absolute Delight bath bomb is a pastel pink bath bomb without any further decoration. To look at, it is fairly similar to the older version of the Blackberry bath bomb. The fact that the Absolute Delight bath bomb is so plain is not a negative at all, when it comes down to Lush, it’s quite often the case that less is more.

Absolute Delight is the standard sized and shaped bath bomb fitting snuggly in my hand. It contains a varied list of ingredients. In it are both jasmine and rose absolute and the following essential oils too, bergamot, geranium and sandalwood.

The Absolute Delight bath bomb’s scent is a very gentle one, it’s an incredibly inviting powdery-sweet, yet creamy floral blend. The rose absolute is definitely the star of the show and shines through rounding off all of the other ingredients in it. Its pale pink colour fits in with its subtle scent perfectly.

As soon as you place the Absolute Delight bath bomb into your bath water it begins to gently fizz away. Tiny, pastel-pink bubbles fizz out of it as it bobs about your bath, floating on the water’s surface, slowly spinning around. In the water, apart from the obvious difference in colour, it is very similar to the likes of another bath bomb from Lush’s early days, the All That Jas bath bomb.

The Absolute Delight bath bomb turns the water a powdery pink colour. Some bath bomb colours are so strong, that once it has all dissolved you can’t see your hand when you place it under the water. The Absolute Delight bath bomb isn’t a highly pigmented bath bomb though, it would be a good choice of bath bomb to use if you’re wary of too much colour in your bathtub.

The Absolute Delight bath bomb is a very quick fizzer; Fully dissolving in just under 2 minutes. You won’t get bath art out of this bath bomb but what you do get is the silkiest bath water I have ever had from a Lush bath bomb. I couldn’t quite believe how soft and hydrated it left my skin AND without being at all oily.

Its scent doesn’t last for very long on your skin but how it leaves your skin feeling lasts all day.

It really is the most hydrating bath bomb I have used from Lush. I’m not sure what ingredient made it so soothing on the skin, but I think Lush need to use it in more bath bombs. Sometimes the bath bombs with big chunks of butter in (such as the Yog Nog bath bomb) are too oily for me, the Absolute Delight had the perfect balance of hydration.

How it left my skin once I was out of the bath was by far my most favourite thing about the Absolute Delight bath bomb, I’d love to see more bath bombs like this!
