The Juice is Loose Shower Gel from Lush

Alongside the recent release of the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film, Lush have created a limited edition collection that’s as bold and quirky as the film itself; Enter the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice X Lush collaboration!

Today I am reviewing, The Juice is Loose Shower Gel, I was lucky enough to receive a bottle of it in the post from Lush a few weeks ago.

I still haven’t had a chance to see the new film itself BUT as soon as it becomes available for home viewing, I will be buying it. I am more than a little bit curious to see what has been going on in the Beetlejuice universe since the ending of the first film released back in 1988.


The Juice is Loose shower gel is a rich, deep shade of purple. This exact shade of purple oozes regal charm demanding everyone’s instant attention. It is actually the same shade of purple as the dresses my bridesmaids wore at my wedding several years ago.

Naturally, this made it the first product from the Beetlejuice X Lush collaboration that caught my eye.

The Juice is Loose shower gels fragrance is the same as the Grape Soda body spray as well as the, The Afterlife bath bomb from the same line.

Some of the ingredients contained in the, The Juice is Loose shower gel are, red clover flower infusion, glycerine, juniper berry oil, sweet wild orange and carrageenan extract.

The Juice is Loose shower gels scent is best described as quite an artificial one; Artificial however doesn’t mean it is an unpleasant scent. Grape Soda as a flavour is not as popular in the UK, as it is in the USA. I can therefore see this shower gel selling better in the USA compared to the UK, but time will tell!

While writing my review on the Grape Soda body spray I did a little research on the flavour/scent. I found out that American’s have more of a palate for fruity flavours that are more artificial or exaggerated compared to the British who are more accustomed to fruity flavours that are more natural and/or less intense.

Think of the, The Juice is Loose shower gels scent as a synthetic interpretation of grapes. It’s sour, tangy and very strong.

Consistency wise the, The Juice is Loose shower gel is incredibly runny. With a name like ‘The Juice is Loose’, this however was to be expected.

With it being so runny, I find myself accidentally using more of the shower gel than I normally would per shower, but it lathers up quickly and is soothing on your skin.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom, it’s a very strongly scented shower gel so probably better suited to someone that is into the stronger Lush scent families.

Once out of the shower the, The Juice is Loose scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day. The artificial element of the scent soon dampens down making it more tolerable for those that like their cosmetics scents to be a little more subtle. Overall, it’s a great edition to the Beetlejuice X Lush line!

Bob Bath Bomb from Lush

Alongside the recent release of the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film, Lush have created a limited edition collection that’s as bold and quirky as the film itself; Enter the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice X Lush collaboration!

Today I am reviewing, The Bob Bath Bomb, I was lucky enough to receive one in the post from Lush a few weeks ago.

The Bob bath bomb is based on a character with a bright blue shrunken head, he isn’t in the first film very much at all. I admit, I haven’t had a chance to watch the new film yet so my only knowledge of him is as the very memorable extra from the franchise’s first film.

Bob is probably the strangest looking bath bomb that I’ve ever seen from Lush. Its design screams Tim Burton, with its slightly distressed looking, huge and very round white eyes. It also has a caved-in nose with two slits for nostrils, a small patch of black on its top, representing Bob’s sparse hair and a row of black teeth that are set in a way that makes him look like he’s grimacing.

Each of the, The Bob bath bombs are approximately 190g each fitting snuggly in my hand.

If you remember and liked the Flamingo Egg bath bomb, you’ll be pleased to know that Bob shares that bath bombs scent.

I can understand why people who haven’t seen either of the Bettlejuice films may think that the Bob bath bomb is the scariest and most peculiar character they have ever seen. Some may even question why Lush made a bath bomb of its head over so many other Bettlejuice things.

While I haven’t seen the new film YET, I have heard that Bob is a very lovable character that becomes very significant in the telling of the Bettlejuice universes story.

The Bob bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients, labdanum resinoid, Sicilian lemon oil and vetivert oil.

Its scent is best described as one of Lush’s tamer Lush-scent-families, it’s powdery, sweet and has an earthy, warm undertone to it. The Sicilian lemon oil adds a zesty lightness to the overall scent that leaves you feeling uplifted and refreshed. Some describe it as being quite similar to banana foam sweets which ties in with the films Banana Boat song.

As soon as the Bob bath bomb touches your bath water, you are greeted with an explosion of bright blue foam. It doesn’t take very long at all for the water to completely take over the bath bomb as it slowly spins around your bath sending its blue fizz all over.

What I wasn’t expecting after about two minutes of the bath bomb being in the water was an explosion of bright pink foam in amongst all of the blue!

My photos in this review do not showcase the Bob bath bombs true bath art potential at all. Where I wasn’t really expecting any bath art, it made using it that little bit more exciting, especially when you factor in that pink is my all-time favourite colour.

It took about four minutes for The Bob bath bomb to fully dissolve, and the water left behind is a blueish shade of purple.

The scent remains on your skin for a good few hours after exiting the bath and it leaves your skin soft too. Overall, I am very impressed with this bath bomb, it has reminded me of the important lesson of never judging a book by its cover.

The Afterlife Bath Bomb from Lush

Alongside the recent release of the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film, Lush have created a limited edition collection that’s as bold and quirky as the film itself; Enter the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice X Lush collaboration! 

Today I am reviewing, The Afterlife Bath Bomb after Lush kindly sent me it to try out.

The Afterlife bath bomb looks very similar to the Intergalactic bath bomb but instead of blue, pink and yellow it is black, green and purple.

I admit, I haven’t had a chance to watch the new film yet, but I am hopefully seeing it next week as I am eager to see what’s been going on in the Beetlejuice universe since the first film came out a few years before I was born!

Each of the, The Afterlife bath bombs are approximately 185g each fitting snuggly in my hand.

Any fans of the Grape Soda body spray will be pleased to hear that the, The Afterlife bath bomb shares the same scent.

The Afterlife bath bomb isn’t the only bath bomb that has been released with the Grape Soda Lush-scent-family this year either; Back at the very start of 2024, the UK version of the Big Squeeze bath bomb also shared the Grape Soda scent

The Afterlife bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients, juniperberry oil, sweet wild orange oil and plenty of popping candy.

The Grape Soda Lush-scent-family is best described as smelling like candied sour grape. It’s quite an artificial scent but not at all unpleasant.

When I reviewed the body spray equivalent, I did a little research on actual Grape Soda (which is the drink that inspired the Lush fragrance).

It’s a very popular drink in the USA but not as popular here in the UK, however, the body spray and this bath bomb seem to be flying off of the shelves everywhere it has been released so this may just change!

As soon as the, The Afterlife bath bomb touches your bath water, you are greeted with an explosion of black, green and purple foam. I couldn’t quite believe just how pigmented all of the colours were even in the water.

The foam is so vivid and bright throughout; The spooky, clashing colours really drags you into the world of Bettlejuice.

Once in the bath, the popping candy in the, The Afterlife bath bomb doesn’t take long to make its presence known.

In fact, the popping candy continued its show, popping away right until the last drop of water disappeared down the plug hole. I don’t think I’ve ever used a bath bomb with this much popping candy before.

The bath art from the, The Afterlife bath bomb is similar to the bath art created by the Intergalactic bath bomb that I mentioned earlier, just with the, The Afterlife bath bombs colours instead.

It took about seven minutes for The Afterlife bath bomb to fully dissolve. The water left behind looks black but is actually just an incredibly dark shade of purple.

The scent is intense but softens somewhat on your skin. I think I prefer the scent of it on my skin once I am out of the bath over the bold scent it is while floating in your bath water.

Overall, I am very impressed with this bath bomb, it left my skin bright, soft and hydrated. The only aspect of it that I have found disappointing is the fact it’s a collaboration product so once it’s gone, it’s gone. I’m going to miss it very much!
