Cupid Bath Bomb from Lush

Cupid Bath Bomb.png As soon as I heard about Lush’s new Cupid Bath Bomb I just couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Nothing gets me more excited than when Lush Cosmetics bring out a brand new bath bomb!

The Cupid Bath Bomb is 2 shades of pink, reflecting the Valentine’s period perfectly. Designed as an arrowed heart, Cupid is the first word that comes to mind when you see it.

The arrow is a beautiful hot pink while the heart is a lighter pink. Yes the Cupid bath bomb is quite a small bath bomb in comparison to the Fizzbanger or Intergalactic but bath bombs don’t have to be big to be good.

Lush products are full of surprises so I always have an open mind, especially with the bath bombs. Just look how people reacted to the Metamorphosis bath bomb, everyone changed their mind on it once they see what it could do once in the water…

The Cupid bath bomb shares its scent with the Razzle Dazzle bath oil. It contains bergamot, rose and violet leaf absolute.

The ingredient that got me most excited however was the fresh raspberry juice. The raspberry scent in Cupid is the most prominent of the ingredients, it reminds me of the petits filous yoghurts that I used to have in my lunchbox when I was a kid.

As soon as the Cupid bath bomb hits the water pink fizz shoots out of it, at this point I could really smell the violet leaf absolute as well as the raspberry, anything violet like helps me unwind so I can never, ever get enough of it. I find violet leaf particularly helpful for tension, it is also my go to ingredient when I have a migraine brewing. I just can’t get enough of this bath bombs scent!

Cupid is a very slow fizzer and creates the most beautiful light pink, white and ever so slightly darker pink swirls on the top of your bath water. I wasn’t expecting much bath art from it but it did create a small amount that was worthy of a photograph or two.

I couldn’t believe how such a small bath bomb had, had such an effect on how the bath water felt on my skin. Once Cupid has fully dissolved you are left with silky smooth, light pink bath water.

The bath bombs scent stayed with me through out the bath. Once you’re out, the scent is very subtle on your skin, I could still detect it long after getting out of the tub.

I will most certainly be stocking up on the Cupid bath bomb before Valentine’s 2017 is over.

So far I have tried it with Lush’s Tender is the Night massage bar . This combination was so much better than I expected. Another product I can’t wait to pair Cupid with is the Mumkin bubble bar.

Lover Lamp Bath Bomb from Lush

Lover Lamp Bath Bomb.png

Last year (2016) Lush’s Valentine’s line was packed full of the most amazing, lovey-dovey products.

The first one that caught my attention was the Lover Lamp Bath Bomb. I’m always honest in my reviews and I will admit that in comparison to the wonderfully coloured bath bombs that we had been spoilt with throughout the Winter range, it does appear to be rather dull.

The name Lover Lamp however had me intrigued. That and the fact that you should never judge a bath bomb without using it first. Lush products have an awful habit of doing the complete opposite of what you are expecting…

Lover Lamp has a very similar name to the newly reformulated and re released bath bomb the Lava Lamp.

When Lover Lamp first went up for sale (January 2016) the Lava Lamp bath bomb was still at the time a recalled product. (It’s a long story that I’ve written about in its review.)

As the Lava Lamp bath bomb had at the time been banished into the recalled Lush cupboard, many people just presumed that the Lover Lamp was the new Lava Lamp.

Thankfully they were wrong!

Now I have used the Lover Lamp several times I can say with confidence that the Lover Lamp bath bomb is completely different to Lava Lamp. Lover Lamp does have a mild citrus air about it, it is however a very subtle citrus which is the complete opposite of the super zesty Lava Lamp.

As soon as I realised how unalike they were to each other I was over the moon. Lush had yet again managed to come up with another completely unique bath bomb, when you think they surely must have done it all, another amazing and new design comes along and surprises us.

Lover Lamp is a crisp white bath bomb decorated with 3 jelly hearts, it turns your bath water a very creamy milk colour and happens to be one of the gentlest bath bombs I have used, both for the skin and its scent.

Its scent is not overpowering at all, it reminds me somewhat of the Christmas time bath bomb Stardust. It has a very creamy vanilla scent mixed with a delicate layer of sweet orange.

I know the scent of Lush products can come across very strong for some. If you’re trying to turn a difficult-to-please person into a full blown Lushie Lover Lamp might just be the bath bomb to win them over…

As soon as Lover Lamp hits the water it starts to fizz, not just any type of fizz either, I’d actually describe its level of fizzyness as FIERCE.

Every time I use it I am surprised by how fizzy it is. It’s incredibly satisfying to watch fizz away, as soon as it hits the water you feel a wave of refreshment. The scent, the way it dances in the water and the fierce fizzing creates such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, there is honestly no other bath bomb like it.

I didn’t watch any demos prior to first trying out this bath bomb as I wanted it to be a surprise. As Lover Lamp ferociously fizzes away a small handful of red confetti hearts appear, scattering themselves upon the waters surface.

I am truly awful at taking photos the pictures in this post DO NOT do this bath bomb any justice, NONE AT ALL.

Nearer the end of the Lover Lamps reaction to the bath water, the 3 jelly hearts float up to the top of the water too, surrounded by all of the small red, confetti hearts.

To someone familiar with Lush bath bombs I would describe Lover Lamp as a mixture of the May Day, Sex Bomb and Think Pink bath bombs.

May Day for its soft and gentle aroma and colouring, Sex Bomb for the jelly hearts, (they are similar to the jelly rose found on the Sex Bomb bath bomb) and lastly the Think Pink bath bomb because of the heart confetti.

Lover Lamp is the perfect bath bomb if you’re looking for something that’s gentle and relaxing.

Nothing has been officially confirmed yet but Lover Lamp may be returning as a product in Lush’s Valentine’s 2017 line. We will know for sure next Friday… *fingers crossed*

I really hope it does come back to the UK this year as it really is a remarkable bath product that I fall in love with that little bit more with every single use.

I think it would also make a great permanent exclusive-to-Oxford-Street bath bomb too, just putting the idea out there Lush HQ 😉

Geo Phyzz Bath Bomb from Lush

Geo Phyzz Bath Bomb.png The Geo Phyzz bath bomb was my number one, desperately in search of bath bomb for as long as I can remember. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, it showed up in the Lush Kitchen.

Although the Geo Phyzz bath bomb does not put on a colourful bath-time-show in quite the same way as various other bath bombs do, I still favour it because of its incredible ingredients. Looking very similar to a scoop of mint, chocolate chip ice cream it’s hard to resist.

I searched high and low for Geo Phyzz as I had heard from a reliable source that it is meant to be the holy grail bath bomb for aching muscles. Now I have actually used Geo Phyzz, I can write this review and wholeheartedly confirm that it really is VERY, VERY, good at soothing fatigued and achy muscles.

Geo Phyzz is said to be ‘Phyzz-iotherapy at its best.’ Seeing as I haven’t had the best of history with real life physiotherapists I was quite looking forward to experiencing the bath bomb equivalent. Obviously a bath bomb will never actually replace a physiotherapist but to humour me, let’s just pretend that it can and has…

The one thing I was 100% sure on when I first had the Geo Phyzz bath bomb in my hands was that it wouldn’t spend our whole time together chipping away at what little confidence I had, this was unfortunately the case for me when seeing an actual physio therapist…. Luckily I now have the most wonderful physiotherapist but some in the past, especially the one before the one I have now, have been diabolically awful. Cruel, soul destroying and unhelpful… I am so, so grateful for my latest physio therapist but even more grateful for Lush’s Geo Phyzz, if more physiotherapists were like the Geo Phyzz bath bomb I think the physio therapy world would be a much happier place! 😉

Geo Phyzz has a very earthy, moss-like and pine wood forest scent. Back when I first got into Lush it took me quite a while to appreciate products with a scent like this. I used to always go for the citrus based products leaving anything a little mossy or different in the shadows. Since my sense of smell has however somewhat matured, I now find myself craving the earthy products just as much as I ever have the alternatives.

Geo Phyzz has a long list of soothing and natural ingredients. Course sea and red Hawaiian salts help to cleanse, relax and soften your tired body. As for the oak-moss, pine, sandalwood and cypress oils, they give off a woody aroma grounding you to the here and now. Geo Phyzz is the perfect bath time buddy if you’re in need of recharging your batteries. Its refreshing and gentle scent leaves you calm and content, lulling your mind into a complete state of relaxation.

I always try and grab as many Geo Phyzz’s as I can when they come into the Lush Kitchen, for people like me that suffer with chronic, widespread pain there is no other bath bomb quite like it. Bathing myself in it literally makes my aches, pains and worries feel like a distant memory.

The closest alternative product to Geo Phyzz that is readily available is probably the Big Blue Bath Bomb, although it is no where near as magical on the muscles.

As I said above, Geo Phyzz isn’t as pretty to watch fizz away as other bath bombs but sometimes it’s what is inside that counts the most.

A Geo Phyzz bath is a truly pleasant bathing experience, my muscles are never happier than when I’m sharing a bath with the Geo Phyzz bath bomb!
