The Catch Me If You Can Bath Bomb first became available as a part of 2023’s Winter line.
Both its name and design are inspired by the Gingerbread Man fairy tale.
As the fairy tale says, the Gingerbread man-shaped-biscuit comes to life as soon as the oven door it was baked in opens. He doesn’t want to be eaten so runs for his life while shouting over his shoulder ‘Run, run as fast as you can. You can’t catch me. I’m the Gingerbread man!’
When Lush create character products, it always makes them a little more difficult to use.
The Catch Me If You Can bath bomb is shaped into the perfect little gingerbread man. With big beady eyes and smile to match, two big buttons and little arms and legs.
The Catch Me If You Can bath bomb is covered in golden shimmer and underneath the shimmering gold layer are further layers of green, yellow and blue.
The Catch Me If You Can bath bomb shares its scent with the Golden Wonder bath bomb from Christmas lines of the past.
Being honest as always, the Catch Me If You Can bath bomb is pretty much just a reimagined version of the Golden Wonder bath bomb. If you liked Golden Wonder, it’s worth giving the Catch Me If You Can bath bomb a go.
The best way to describe the Catch Me If You Can bath bomb’s scent is a tangy citrus with a warm, boozy punch, think orange juice mixed with bubbly champagne!
Ingredients wise, it contains sweet wild orange oil, lime oil and ginger powder.
Each Catch Me If You Can bath bomb is only 80g each making it one of Lush’s smallest bath bombs to date.
Before the Golden Wonder bath bomb was discontinued as a Winter product the price of it had shot up a great deal each year, I think this is probably why Lush have condensed the bath bomb so much, creating Catch Me If You Can as a smaller alternative.
As soon as the Catch Me If You Can bath bomb meets your bath water you are greeted with a burst of blue, green and yellow foam.
As the water takes over the bath bomb, the golden shimmer on the top layers of the bath bomb slowly starts to spread into the water too.
Considering its size, I was surprised to see that The Catch Me If You Can bath bomb took just over 15 minutes to fully dissolve!
This is much longer than most Lush bath bombs. The colourful bath art left behind by the Catch Me If You Can bath bomb is so much better in person, unfortunately this time of year leaves me with ridiculously bad lighting so the photos in this review do the bath bomb no justice at all.
Nearer the end of its time in the water the bath art it created reminded me of the Fizzbanger bath bomb with it mostly being yellow and blue. The bath water at the end was an almost neon green. Again, just like Fizzbanger.
Overall, I really enjoyed using the Catch Me If You Can bath bomb.
The scent could have been a little stronger, it had almost completely faded long before I was ready to get out of the bath. I am guessing this is because of the bath bombs smaller size.
My skin did feel soft after using the Catch Me If You Can bath bomb but again, the scent wasn’t detectable on my skin at all. The bath did however leave me feeling warm and relaxed.
I would love to see this bath bomb come back (with a stronger fragrance) but have learnt to not get too attached to any Wintertime Lush bath bomb as they rarely make a reappearance the year after their first release. I have my fingers crossed this bath bomb isn’t yet again just a one-hit-wonder!
