Bunny Moon Bath Bomb from Lush

The Bunny Moon Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Easter line.

Weighing in at approximately 230g each, it is a little bit lighter than the similar, rabbit-head-shaped Ostara bath bomb from last year’s (2023) Easter line.

With the Bunny Moon bath bomb being 230g it’s one of the biggest in the Easter collection.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb is bright blue with bright pink ears, it’s made in the shape of a rabbit’s head and has several pink craters in it, giving it it’s moon-like-look.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb contains coconut milk powder, rice bran absolute, lime oil, benzoin resinoid and carob resinoid. It is described on Lush’s website as ‘a comforting bedtime bath.’

It has such a complex scent that I don’t even know where to begin to describe it. My nose definitely picks up on the lime in it but it’s also a little smoky too.

I must admit, it’s not the type of Lush scent that I would usually go for but I like to try everything at least once, as you never know when you’re going to come across a new favourite.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb’s scent really is an acquired taste making it a strange choice from Lush. It will most likely appeal to customers who like scents that are strong and a little out of the ordinary.

As soon as the Bunny Moon bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of blue fizzing bubbles.

It doesn’t take long for pinky-purple streaks to appear from the Bunny Moon bath bomb too.

The scent of the bath bomb really comes to life once placed into the water, it’s very, very intense. I’m always honest in my reviews and I’m not a huge fan of the scent, it’s just a little too strong and smoky for me.

Putting my thoughts on the Bunny Moon bath bombs scent to one side it does create plenty of photo worthy pink and blue bath art, my photos in this review (as always) do the bath bomb no justice at all.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb’s scent lingers in your bathroom and takes a good 10 minutes to fully dissolve.

Once you’ve pulled the plug its scent still hangs around somewhat. As for how it smells on your skin once you’re out of the bath, I’m pleased to say it’s a lot more subtle. I much prefer the scent at this potency level. Sometimes less is more.

The water left behind by the Bunny Moon bath bomb is dark blue and silky smooth thanks to the coconut milk powder.

My skin still feels silky smooth several hours after getting out of the bath. I wouldn’t say my skin feels particularly hydrated after using Bunny Moon but I’m not desperate to slather myself in a body lotion either.

Overall, I thought that the Bunny Moon bath bomb was brilliantly colourful during use, but I’d have liked to have seen it with a lighter more Spring appropriate fragrance.

I can’t help but hope that Lush bring out another bunny-head-shaped bath bomb design for next Easter too!

Hot Cross Bunny Bubble Bar from Lush

The Hot Cross Bunny Bubble Bar (a pun of hot cross buns) is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Easter line. Designed to look like a very unhappy Easter bunny I couldn’t love his grumpy little face more! With that face, I knew he’d be the first of the 2024 Easter line that I’d try…

I was lucky enough to get to try Hot Cross Bunny before its official release as Lush kindly sent me one to try.

The Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar shares its scent with the Gingerbread House bubble bar and Mercury Retrograde bath bomb.

Each Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar weighs in at approximately 80g, it’s the perfect size for fitting in my hand.

The Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar contains a long list of stimulating and warming ingredients; Buchu oil, ginger oil, Sicilian lemon oil and ginger powder.

The Hot Cross Bunny’s scent is mouth-wateringly-good; Its mix of ginger oil and powder is what gives it, its spicy kick. It’s super warming and the more you sniff the more you are reminded of gingerbread biscuits.

It’s quite a soft bubble bar too making it easy to crumble up, ready to run under a running tap.

To use the Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a sieve and let the running bath-water trickle over it.

I find the sieve method the most effective way to use Lush’s single use bubble bars. It is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted. Through trial and error, I have found that using bubble bars like this makes the most bubbles too.

The one thing that I usually love about Lush’s bubble bars over their bath bombs is that they can easily be spread out over several baths. However, With Hot Cross Bunny being so small I recommend using the whole thing in one bath, this will ensure that you get the most out of it.

I tried sharing the Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar over two different baths and although both weren’t bad baths, it did compromise on its scent-quality ever so slightly. I therefore really do recommend using the whole thing if it’s just the bubble bar that you are using. (It would probably be ok to spread out if you were using other products such as a bath bomb with it too though!)

The blanket of fluffy white bubbles starts to grow as soon as you place the broken-up pieces of the Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar under the running tap. Underneath the fast-building blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns an inviting shade of orange.

Once in the bath, I couldn’t help but notice how creamy and soft the water was. A Hot Cross Bunny bubble-bar-bath leaves your skin feeling soft, hydrated and toasty. It’s a good bubble bar to use if you have any aches and pains that need soothing.

Once out of the bath, its scent although a lot more subtle, lasts on your skin for a good-few-hours.

Overall, I really like the Hot Cross Bunny bubble bar, I wish Lush would make more products in this scent as it’s perfect for the Wintertime. I always said that the Gingerbread House bubble bar that shares Hot Cross Bunny’s scent was a favourite of mine so getting to experience its scent again through Hot Cross Bunny was a real treat!

Ostara Bath Bomb from Lush

The Ostara Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Easter line. At approximately 250g each, it’s HUGE. This giant, pink, rabbit-head-shaped bath bomb is big for a reason, inside of it is a hidden vibrant-yellow egg.

The Lush website states that you can either ‘pop it all in the tub to enjoy the colourful bath art or give it a tap to discover the egg inside’. I decided to use it whole as I couldn’t bring myself to crack it in half, plus you get crazy-good bath art if you use it whole…

The rabbit-head bath bomb got its name from Germanic folklore. Ostara happens to be the Goddess of Spring. Symbols of Ostara include butterflies, rabbits, and eggs.

The Ostara bath bomb shares its scent with last years (2022) super fruity, Easter product the What’s Up, Doc? shower gel.

Ingredients wise, the Ostara bath bomb contains both bergamot and lime oils and violet leaf absolute. Its scent is deliciously fruity. Primarily it’s meant to be a raspberry scent, but it has several layers to its fragrance.

The more you sniff the more you can make out. Its scent is strong, so much so, I couldn’t keep the bath bomb in my bedroom and only got the bath bomb out when I was ready to use it.

Ostara has an incredibly refreshing, mouth-watering fragrance. It’s the perfect scent for the Springtime, I can see this scent also being popular in the Summertime. I have my fingers crossed that Lush decide to release more products that share its scent in the near future.

As soon as you place the Ostara bath bomb into the water it starts to hiss, a thin pink layer of foam slowly spills out of it as its gorgeously fruity scent takes over your bathroom.

It takes a good 8 minutes before the Ostara bath bombs yellow insides make an appearance. It is at this point that the pink and yellow bath art begins.

The photos I have included in this review of the Ostara bath bomb do it no justice at all, the pretty pink and yellow patterns it created went on and on and on. It took over 15 minutes for the bath bomb to fully dissolve.

The water left behind by the Ostara bath bomb is a warm, welcoming shade of orange. Its powerful scent lasted throughout the whole bath and still lingered in the air long after the last bits of the bath water had gone down the plug hole.

The silky-smooth orange water left behind by this bath bomb are really soothing on your skin too. There is nothing subtle about the Ostara bath bombs scent and it remains on your skin for the rest of the day, long after you have got out of the bath.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Ostara bath bomb. It’s a fantastic addition to the Easter line. I hope Lush bring it back next year. As I also said earlier, I’d love to see more products come out in its scent soon too!
