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!
