Slow Down Bath Bomb from Lush

Back in September 2022, Lush did a collaboration with The Poetry Pharmacy. The 3 bath bombs created for this super-unique line have sold well and are currently still available to purchase at the time of writing this review.

The Poetry Pharmacy is a shop in the heart of a little town in Shropshire Hills. In store, you will find The Poetry Pharmacy’s pharmacist on hand to prescribe poetic medicine for a complicated mix of emotions.

The third and final of the 3 bath bombs from the Lush X Poetry Pharmacy collaboration that I would like to introduce you to is the Slow Down Bath Bomb.

As I mentioned earlier, the bath bombs within this collection are truly unique to anything Lush have released before.

Each of the bath bombs have a hidden paper insert inside of them with a short poem on it relating to the bath bombs name.

The Slow Down bath bomb is a milky blue standard shaped Lush bath bomb at approximately 180g. Colour wise it is very similar to the Atom Heart Mother bath bomb.

The idea behind the poetry bath bombs are that they are an easy way to immerse yourself in perfume and poetics. As its name suggests, the Slow Down bath bomb wants you to do just that. Slow down, give yourself a well-earned break and moment to destress.

Lush’s website lists it as to be used ‘to evoke moments of reflection and serenity,’. 

Ingredients wise the Slow Down bath bomb contains bergamot, neroli and petitgrain oils.

The Lush-scent-family that it comes from is called Nero. Slow Down’s scent is a gentle citrus with floral notes, it is probably the lightest scent of the 3 poetry bath bombs.

Even though Slow Down is quite a light fragrance it’s still incredibly refreshing, as soon as I put the bath bomb in the bath water, I began to feel more relaxed.

As soon as you put the Slow Down bath bomb in the water you are greeted with a gentle hiss, tiny light blue bubbles erupt from the bath bomb as it starts to turn your bath water a milky shade of blue.

It’s gentle yet refreshing scent fills your bathroom, lulling you into a more relaxed state of mind. Things really do slow down if you take a moment to just relax and enjoy the bath bombs show.

After only 3 minutes the Slow Down bath bomb has fully dissolved revealing its hidden poem. Sometimes the quick fizzing bath bombs are the best as they give you more time to just enjoy its waters.

I’d like to point out that not everyone gets the same poem in the same bath bomb. I am unsure on how many different poems are put in each of the bath bombs BUT have seen other people get a different poem to me that also relates to the bath bomb’s theme.

My skin basks in the silky-smooth bath water created by the Slow Down bath bomb. My skin feels so soft to the touch. None of the poetry bath bombs give you any bath art, but they all give you a truly relaxing bathing experience. The scent of the Slow Down bath bomb although subtle, lasts on my skin long after I have got out of the bath.

Overall, I am very impressed with the Slow Down bath bomb, I think I’ll go as far as to say it’s my favourite from the poetry collection. I wholeheartedly recommended giving each of the poetry bath bombs a try, the added aspect of poetry makes them all the better of an experience to use. What amazing concept will Lush think of next?

Wild Remedy Bath Bomb from Lush

Back in September 2022, Lush did a collaboration with The Poetry Pharmacy. The 3 bath bombs created for this super-unique line have sold well and are currently still available to purchase at the time of writing this review.

The Poetry Pharmacy is an original Victorian shop in the heart of a little town in Shropshire Hills. In store, you will find The Poetry Pharmacy’s pharmacist on hand to prescribe poetic medicine for a complicated mix of emotions. For a deeper insight into what the, The Poetry Pharmacy get up to, please visit their website by clicking here.

The first of the 3 bath bombs from the Lush X Poetry Pharmacy collaboration that I would like to introduce you to is the Wild Remedy Bath Bomb. Lush PR were kind enough to send this bath bomb out to me and I have bought 2 more since. (I liked it that much!)

As I mentioned earlier, the bath bombs within this collection are truly unique to anything Lush have released before. Each of the bath bombs have a hidden paper insert inside of them with a short poem on it relating to the bath bombs name.

Colour wise and to look at, the Wild Remedy bath bomb is quite similar to the Avobath bath bomb, although Wild Remedy is a slightly darker green.

The idea behind the poetry bath bombs are that they are an easy way to immerse yourself in perfume and poetics. This strong scented, green-bath-bomb was created to remind you of the inspiration to be found in nature.

Ingredients wise the Wild Remedy bath bomb contains Siberian fir needle oil, benzoin resinoid, fir needle absolute, tagetes oil and green tea powder.

The Lush-scent-family that it comes from is called Fresh As. You’ll recognise it if you have used the cult-classic Needles and Pines shower jelly before. Wild Remedy’s scent is very outdoorsy, rich, and herbaceous. It’s incredibly refreshing and fits in with the theme of Wild Remedy perfectly.

As soon as you put the Wild Remedy bath bomb in the water you are greeted with a gentle hiss, tiny green bubbles erupt from the bath bomb as it starts to turn your bath water an inviting shade of green. Its refreshing outdoorsy scent fills your bathroom, it’s like bathing in a forest with only the trees to keep you company.

After only 3 minutes the Wild Remedy bath bomb has fully dissolved revealing its hidden poem. I’d like to point out that not everyone gets the same poem. I am unsure on how many different poems are put in each of the bath bombs BUT have seen other people get a different poem to me that also relates to the Wild Remedy theme.

My skin laps up the silky-smooth bath water and feels so soft to the touch. Wild Remedy won’t give you any bath art, but it will give you a truly relaxing bathing experience. The scent lasts on my skin long after I have left the bath.

Overall, I am very impressed with the Wild Remedy bath bomb, its scent is stunning, and the added aspect of poetry makes it all the better of an experience!

Salt Water Soother Magnesium Bath Bomb from Lush

Straight after Christmas 2022, Lush released a range of magnesium-based products. The new collection contains 3 magnesium massage bars and 2 Epsom salt bath-bomb-cubes. Today I am reviewing one of the Epsom salt bath-bomb-cubes, the Salt Water Soother Magnesium Bath Bomb.

The magnesium range was created with exercise and muscle recovery in mind as magnesium is said to have many benefits on your body before, during and after exercise.

While each of the magnesium products within this line have been made to help support exercise performance with a focus on your muscles and mind but you’ll be fine using them without exercising before/after too. 😉 *exhales a sigh of relief*

As a wheelchair user, exercise isn’t really my thing but anything that I can use that helps with aches and pains is a must try for me. The Deep Sleep Magnesium bath bomb is more focused on winding down after exercise, while the Salt Water Soother bath bomb is all about adding a spring to your step afterwards.

Epsom salt is very popular to use in hot baths to help with muscle pain, even though I don’t exercise as much as I’d like due to illness, I do get a lot of muscle pain. This is what drew me to the magnesium range and if I’m honest, pain relief is why I first got into Lush in the first place.

The Salt Water Soother bath bomb is cube shaped, 1 half of it is yellow and the other is blue. They are approximately 180g each so a little bit smaller than the average sized Lush bath bomb.

The Salt Water Soother bath bomb contains, peppermint, eucalyptus and spearmint oils. It has a super uplifting scent, just one sniff could wake the sleepiest of souls. The eucalyptus and peppermint in it are what my nose picks up on the most. I can see this bath bomb also being a good pick-me-up if you have a cold or worst still, a hangover!

As soon as the Salt Water Soother bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a loud hiss. The yellow and blue colour that spills out of the bath bomb are bold and bright. Like the aforementioned bath bomb, Deep Sleep Magnesium, the Salt Water Soother is a very quick dissolver and didn’t create any bath art.

The Salt Water Soother bath bombs scent intensifies and engulfs your bathroom from the moment the bath bomb touches the hot water. Within just 2 minutes the Salt Water Soother bath bomb has fully dissolved leaving you with super soft, neon green bath water. This bath bombs star qualities are its scent and how it leaves you feeling both physically and mentally.

My skin lapped up the wonderfully soothing magnesium infused waters, it left my skin so incredibly soft and really did make a difference to my aching muscles. Laying back in its waters leaves me feeling energised and refreshed.

Overall, I loved everything about the Salt Water Soother bath bomb. Its scent and its ingredients really do leave my muscles soothed and ready to take on the rest of the day. Used in the morning it really does make a difference on how my day goes.

If you’re chasing a boost of energy in a nice and relaxing atmosphere, I couldn’t recommend using the Salt Water Soother bath bomb more. Although I no longer do much exercise, it really does put a spring in my step!
