The Love Letter Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Valentine’s Day line.
Weighing in at just 85g, the Love Letter bath bomb is one of Lush’s smallest bath bombs to date BUT if there is one thing that Lush has taught me it is that bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. I also never judge a bath bomb on first look as the plainer ones can often give you the best surprises in the water too…
Love Letter is just that, a bath bomb designed to look just like a love letter, this envelope shaped bath bomb is sealed with a bright pink heart, and it is decorated with a sprinkling of dissolvable love hearts just like the Love Boat bath bomb had.
The Love Letter bath bomb contains coconut milk powder, fair trade organic cocoa butter, bergamot oil, olibanum oil and geranium oil.
It shares its scent with several very popular products, Yummy Yummy Yummy shower gel, Peeping Santa bubbleroon and the Strawberries and Cream bath bomb just to name a few.
Love Letter’s scent is best described as a sweet and super-creamy, strawberry scent. It’s mouth wateringly good.
As soon as the Love Letter bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a gentle hiss as white bubbles spill out of the bath bomb. Soon after putting it in to the water small beads of yellow cocoa butter also start to come out of the bath bomb melting into your hot water in a similar way to the Butterball bath bomb.
You’d be safe in assuming that the Love Letter bath bomb doesn’t offer anything too colourful bath-art-wise, but it does put on such a unique performance.
The dissolvable love hearts slowly break free from the bath bomb as the envelope part of the bath bomb gets taken over by the water; What I like best about the Love Letter bath bomb is that the bright pink heart is the very last bit of the bath bomb to dissolve, it’s a very clever design!
The Love Letter bath bomb takes approximately five minutes to fully dissolve which is a lot longer than I expected considering its smaller size, it turns your bath water a very light lilac colour. The scent is still strong but slightly gentler once the bath bomb has fully dissolved.
I found the waters left behind by the Love Letter bath bomb to be incredibly moisturising, more so than I originally thought as I didn’t expect it to have as much cocoa butter in it as it did.
The sweet strawberry scent of the bath bomb remains in your bathroom long after you pull the plug too.
The scent can also still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath but at a much more subtle level.
Overall, I LOVE this bath bomb. It might not be the brightest or biggest bath bomb in the Valentine’s Day line BUT the attention Lush have put into all of its little details really shines through, especially during use.
The scent and the fact that the pink heart is the last part of the bath bomb to disappear makes for such a unique bathing experience, I really hope this bath bomb comes back every Valentine’s day as it’s brilliant!
