Blooming Beautiful Marigold Bath Bomb from Lush

For Mother’s Day 2024, Lush have created three Blooming Beautiful bath bombs. Each have a different scent and they come in either a pink, yellow or a blue.

Today I am reviewing the yellow one, the Blooming Beautiful Marigold Bath Bomb.

Each of the Blooming Beautiful bath bombs are decorated with the same white petaled daisy on its top.

When the 2024 Mother’s Day collection was first announced, the Blooming Beautiful bath bombs were the first of the new limited-edition products to catch my attention. The daisy hat that each of them wear is so detailed. 

Looking at the bath bombs through Lush’s website it’s always so hard to believe that they are all handmade.

The Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb is bright yellow and contains, bergamot oil, buchu oil, grapefruit oil and tagetes oil and shares its scent with another recently released limited edition product, the Cempasúchil bath bomb.

I’d however say that Blooming Beautiful Marigold isn’t nearly as strongly scented as Cempasúchil was.

Blooming Beautiful Marigolds scent is a very light and refreshing, warm, fruity fragrance. If you like the Lush products that aren’t in-your-face smelly, Blooming Beautiful Marigold would be a great choice for you.

I usually buy two of each bath bomb and out of the three Blooming Beautiful bath bombs, the Marigolds were the only ones that both arrived without a broken or crumbly daisy on its top.

As soon as the Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a hiss of yellow coloured foam.

The Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb doesn’t offer anything too artsy bath-art-wise, but it does create lots of yellow and white bubbles as it dissolves away.

While the bath bomb dances around your bath, its scent seems to be watered down even more which was a little bit disappointing.

Amazingly, the Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb took over 15 minutes to fully dissolve, I found myself topping up the bath with hot water as it fizzed away.

The waters left behind by the Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb were a crazy-bright yellow, so bright that I thought it was glowing!

The waters of the Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb were also incredibly soft, a good soak in it left my skin feeling smooth and my body super relaxed. It’s a very good bath bomb to use to get you ready for the changing of Winter into Spring.

The scent wasn’t at all detectable on my skin once I was all dried off, but my skin remained silky smooth to the touch.

Overall, I did enjoy using the Blooming Beautiful Marigold bath bomb, it allowed me to get some beautiful floral photos, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy another based on how weak its scent was.

Ups-A-Daisy Bath Bomb from Lush

When the photos of Lush’s 2017 Mother’s day range were released the Ups-A-Daisy Bath Bomb is what first caught my attention. Shaped just like a giant daisy their bright and bold colours are perfect for the Spring time.

Some have confused Ups-A-Daisy as being available in 2 different colours like the Mum bath bomb however, this in not the case. One side of the bath bomb is orange and pink, while the other side is yellow and turquoise. Both sides are visible in the photo above.

The Ups-A-Daisy bath bomb is actually great value for money. I honestly expected it to be a lot more expensive, getting anything cheaper is of course always more than welcome. I know many people have noticed that there has been a slight price-hike in some Lush products, although this is frustrating, it’s just one of those things. Ingredient prices are always expected to fluctuate depending on a huge number of different factors that are beyond anyones control.

The only thing that doesn’t fluctuate in regards to Lush products is their outstanding quality. The best of quality is always a guarantee when it comes down to Lush,  I therefore don’t mind if the price of a product does go up a little, obviously the cheaper the better (I’d be mad to say otherwise) BUT, always getting great quality, ethically sourced products is what is the most important thing to me.

The one and only thing that stopped me in my tracks when it came down to the Ups-A-Daisy bath bomb was deciding what side of it I would put face down in the bath water. It sent my OCD into overdrive. I am a huge geek and like to experience every last second of a Lush product, it killed me to not be able to have both sides on top, I however had picked up 2 of these bath bombs so that I could try it the other way round in another bath – all was not lost!

Upon first use I used the Ups-A-Daisy bath bomb orange and pink side up. As soon as the bath bomb hit the water it began to foam. Slowly but surely the Ups-A-Daisy bath bomb fizzes away creating pretty streaks of orange, pink, yellow and blue.

What I wasn’t prepared for was how long it took to dissolve. I love a slow fizzer as I like to take pictures of all the pretty patterns a bath bomb makes, after 10 minutes I however got bored and dunked them under as you can see in the 3rd photo, above and below.

Scent wise, I have heard a lot of people compare this bath bomb to Frozen. I can see what they mean, Ups-A-Daisy is however less sweet and more floral. I’m not a huge fan of floral scents and it did take me a while to get used to this bath bomb, once in the bath I was however very happy with it.

When the bath bomb is orange and pink side up, to look at it reminds me of the Yoga bath bomb. When it is yellow and blue side up it reminds me a little of a mixture of the Yoga and Fizzbanger bath bomb.

Looking on Instagram I can see a lot of people seem to favour having it orange and pink side up. Both sides were beautiful, I found that the yellow and blue side up was a little more colourful though. I also recommend waiting for the bath bomb to do its thing, it is a very slow fizzer but the colours that streak out of it at the very end are on par with last years Somewhere Over the Rainbow bath bomb.

Overall I really like the Ups-A-Daisy bath bomb, it isn’t my favourite of the Mother’s Day range but it does put on a very beautiful show and I am glad that I tried it both sides up. I definitely recommend trying this bath bomb twice as either sides put on a very different show.
