Time of the Season Bath Bomb from Lush

Today I am reviewing the brand-new Time of the Season Bath Bomb from Lush’s 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection.

To look at, the Time of the Season bath bomb reminds me of the Frozen bath bomb because Like Frozen, the Time of the Season bath bomb is all one colour and looks like it is wearing a darker coloured belt.

Where the Frozen bath bomb is light blue, Time of the Season is yellow and where the Frozen bath bomb is dark blue, Time of the Season is bright pink.

The Time of the Season bath bomb contains dark Sumatran patchouli oil, grapefruit oil, organic neroli oil and orange flower absolute.

It’s a brand-new scent-family from Lush and seems to have divided Lush fans. Again, I want to reference the Frozen bath bomb as elements of Time of the Seasons scent remind me of it a lot, it has the same zesty, sharp bitterness because of the grapefruit and neroli.

I think these are the ingredients that make and break it for some. I however really like the bitterness of the grapefruit, the other ingredient that really comes through scent wise is the patchouli oil. On paper it sounds like such a strange mix, but I think they all work really well together.

It’s an incredibly unique scent, a very bold choice from Lush, I like it when Lush are brave with their fragrances.

Lush describe the Time of the Season bath bomb as ‘a bath bomb that’ll take you to the bathing promised lands’ and claim that it is ‘the time of the season for loving yourself’ and that the bath bomb will ‘gently restore your composure, while instilling an overall feeling of peace.’

Each of the Time of the Season bath bombs are approximately 180g each fitting easily in my hand.As soon as the Time of the Season bath bomb meets your bath water there is an explosion of thick yellow and pink foam (as seen in the photo directly below.)

The hot pink and yellow starts to spread out before orange begins to spill out of the Time of the Season bath bomb too.

It doesn’t take long for the bath bomb to start spinning in the water and wow does it spit out an insane amount of absolutely stunning bath art.

As always, the photos in this review do the bath bomb no justice at all, the colours that spill out of the Time of the Season bath bomb are so bright, bold and beautiful, I never wanted it to end.

The Time of the Season bath bomb takes just under 10 minutes to fully dissolve, the water left behind is a bright shade of orange and it feels silky soft on your skin.

Many people have compared the Time of the Season bath bomb to the Passion bath bomb (from the same 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection) because it has such similar colouring, this is true, maybe Lush could have picked Time of the Season to have different colours to make it more unique, but honestly? Both it and Passion are such good bath bombs that smell completely different; therefore, I really don’t think it matters.

Using the Time of the Season bath bomb left my skin lightly fragranced and soft to the touch, I could still smell it on my skin several hours after using the bath bomb too. I also didn’t need to moisturise after getting out of the bath which is always a plus… I do love a time saver!

Overall, I am completely in love with the Time of the Season bath bomb. The bath art was phenomenal. If I knew the bath bomb was this good, I’d have used it weeks ago.

I always say the bath art photos in my bath bomb reviews do the bath bombs no justice at all, but the photos included on the Lush website for this bath bomb don’t show its true potential either. Just look at the photo above compared to those on the Lush website. I can’t believe how different they are!?!!

I admit, the Time of the Season scent is quite an acquired taste, if you’re not sure on its scent I do still recommend giving it a go, sometimes bath bombs can surprise you. Time of the Season is a true work of art, what an incredible bath bomb from start to finish!

Orange Pop Bath Bomb from Lush

The Orange Pop Bath Bomb is set to be released at the end of September as a part of Lush’s 2021 Winter line. You may recognise its design from Winter lines of the past as Lush have used the same bath bomb mould (green leaf too) for Orange Pop as they did for their 2016 version of the So White bath bomb.

I decided to start my Winter 2021 bath bomb reviews with the Orange Pop bath bomb as it’s a product that doesn’t scream the C word. If you’ve read any of my past reviews on Winter products before, you’ll know how much I appreciate the Winter products that aren’t in-your-face Christmassy.

The Orange Pop bath bomb has a very simple ingredients list, Sicilian red mandarin, tangerine, Brazilian orange and bergamot oils with a generous, surprise helping of popping candy too.

You’ll recognise its scent from the bestselling and very much loved golden-oldie-Lush-product the Brightside bubble bar. I considered using both Brightside and Orange Pop together but the Orange Pop bath bomb is so powerful once in the water, I was super-glad that I didn’t.

If I am being honest (as I always am in my reviews) I really wasn’t expecting much from the Orange Pop bath bomb at all. Maybe because I had the Satsuma bath bomb from a past Christmas line in mind.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed using the Satsuma bath bomb but it just wasn’t very exciting compared to a lot of the other products on offer that year, it didn’t produce bath art and only really had a gentle citrus scent. I couldn’t have been more wrong in comparing the 2 together, Orange Pop is nothing at all like the Satsuma bath bomb, NOTHING AT ALL.

The Orange Pop’s scent isn’t too strong when you are handling it, that however soon changes when you put it in to your bath water. As soon as you drop the Orange Pop bath bomb into your bath water you are greeted with that super-satisfying hiss and a burst of super-sweet orange scent that takes over your bathroom.

Orange Pop isn’t hugely foamy; Small, light orange and green bubbles sizzle out of it as it slowly rolls around the water’s surface. It continues like this for the first 3 to 5 minutes before the green bubbles disappear completely, only leaving you with the light orange bubbles.

When I first used Orange Pop, it was at this point that I thought, oh, that’s it, show’s over. Then all of a sudden, a huge explosion of red erupted from the Orange Pop bath bomb.

When the Orange Pop bath bomb’s surprise red insides decide to make an appearance the popping candy also starts to snap, crackle and pop too! What I thought was going to be a relatively dull bath bomb just got way more exciting!

I took so many photos of the swirling red and orange bath art created by the Orange Pop bath bomb, none of them do this bath bomb justice. It’s a bath bomb you must experience for yourself.

If you miss the Christmas Sweater bath bomb like me, Orange Pop’s bath art is on par with it and features the same gorgeous colours too!

Orange Pop takes about 10 minutes to fully dissolve, once the popping candy has stopped, you are left with smooth and super-soft blood-orange bath water. Once out of the bath my skin felt so silky. It really seemed to perk the appearance of my skin up, it became much brighter and it was lovely and hydrated too.

Overall I really, really did enjoy using the Orange Pop bath bomb, its lovely scent remained on my skin for the rest of the day – (although thankfully, it is a lot more subtle on your skin than how it is in the bath!)

I am so excited for the Orange Pop bath bomb to hit the shops at the end of September, I really do believe that it’s going to sell very well and I will certainly be buying a few more to use too.

White Noise Bath Bomb from Lush

You may or may not have seen that ASOS have started to sell Lush-bundle-giftsets. I’m not 100% sure as to why Lush have decided to partner with them from a sales angle but apart from the bath bomb that was included in June 2021’s Lush Kitchen Subscription box, Lush’s White Noise Bath Bomb is exclusive to and only available to purchase from ASOS in a giftset-bundle which also includes the best-selling Intergalactic bath bomb.

You’ll recognise the scent of the White Noise bath bomb if you have previously used the now discontinued, Kitsune bath bomb. Containing cedarwood, Sicilian red mandarin, patchouli, and benzoin resinoid oils the White Noise bath bomb has many great qualities. It’s a product that is packed full of warmth and energy, I’d describe it as warmer versions of the Avobath or Dragon’s Egg bath bombs.

It seems to have the same citrus-punch of those bath bombs but with a much warmer fragrance-layer because of the patchouli and benzoin resinoid oils.

White Noises interesting mix of ingredients makes the bath bomb a great bathing-partner to have if you are like me and live with chronic pain. The benzoin resinoid mixed with the patchouli oil stimulates blood flow which helps with the soothing of your muscles, this in turn helps you to wind down by lulling you into a state of pure relaxation, all you have to do is lay back and simply enjoy your bath!

The White Noise bath bomb has quite the crazy design, Lush have clearly had a lot of fun creating the mould for this product with their 3D printer, it strangely looks just how I’d picture White Noise if it was a solid entity; Decorated with sharp abstract shapes and patches of cool, grey-washed colours, it’s eye-catching to say the least.

Once in the water the White Noise bath bomb creates an explosion of cool-toned-colours. Light blue, white, silver, grey and minty green bath art shoots out of the bath bomb as it speedboats around the water’s surface shimmering.

It doesn’t take long for the White Noise bath bomb to fully dissolve but the bath art it creates is magnificent, my photos in this post do the bath bomb no justice at all. The water left behind is a grey-tinted minty-green. One thing I really noticed about White Noise is just how much grey is in it. Yet, it isn’t at all dull.

Overall I am really impressed with the White Noise bath bomb, it’s pretty and its scent is incredibly energising as well as warm even though its colouring is cool. It really does tease your senses. I can’t wait to see what bath bomb Lush creates for us next!
