Minions Bath Bomb from Lush

The Minions Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from a small but mighty Lush line created alongside the release of the Despicable Me 4 movie.

I love the Despicable Me world, especially all things minion so couldn’t wait to get my hands on the Lush X Despicable Me 4 line.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing any of the Despicable Me films, you’re probably wondering what a minion is… Minions are small, yellow, pill-shaped creatures that live to serve the main character in the Despicable Me films, Gru the supervillain.

The Minions bath bomb is, as all minions are, a bright yellow with blue overalls on. Some minions have two eyes, some just one. The one eyed minion is what the Minions bath bomb is based on.

If you’ve been a Lush customer for a while you’ll find its single candy eye familiar as it’s a very similar design to the Monsters’ Ball bath bomb.


Each Minions bath bomb is approximately 190g and fits snuggly in my hand.

I love how clever the design is, even though the bath bomb is the standard round shape of a bath bomb (instead of the pill-shaped minion shape) you can still instantly recognise it as a Despicable Me minion.

The Minions bath bomb contains tonka and vanilla absolute, the scent is meant to emulate banana milkshake.

When I am holding the bath bomb in my hand, I can just about make out the banana-like-scent although it’s not very strong.

It’s a very dry and powdery fragrance, it reminds me of the banana powder I used to have in the kitchen cupboard when I was little, a spoonful of that in a glass of milk was one of my favourite drinks growing up.

Minions’ scent is very gentle, making it a perfect bath bomb for customers that don’t like super strong Lush scents.

Lush have been pushing so many sweet foody scents on customers this Summer; The Minions bath bomb is a great subtle alternative to those strong and sweet foody scents.

As soon as the Minions bath bomb touches your bath water you are greeted with an explosion of blue and yellow foam.

It doesn’t take long for the bath bomb to start spinning, charging around the bath water like a little minion coloured speed boat.

After just a few minutes the minions candy eye falls off, sinking to the bottom of the bath where it begins to slowly melt.

There wasn’t as much bath art as I expected from the Minions bath bomb but the blue and yellow colours spilling out of it created almost illuminous, bright green water. Colour wise, it reminded me of the Fizzbanger bath bomb.

After ten minutes, the bath bomb has fully dissolved leaving you with silky soft bright green water.

I found myself soaking in the bath a little longer than I ordinarily would as it was so gentle. Sadly, the banana element of the bath bombs scent doesn’t get much stronger during use, but you can just about detect it although it is very subtle.

Once out of the bath my skin felt smooth and hydrated, scent wise, all that I could really smell was a small amount of vanilla.

Again, because of this I can see it being a popular bath bomb with customers that prefer the tamer, less in your face Lush fragrances.

Overall, I am obsessed with the Minions bath bomb. It has a very well thought out design and because of this, is probably one of my favourite collaboration-bath-bombs that Lush have ever made!

Lemony Flutter Body Spray from Lush

The Lemony Flutter Body Spray is one of six exclusive body sprays that Lush have just released a limited amount of.

As you can see from the photos included in this review, the Lemony Flutter body spray doesn’t have the standard Lush, black-and-white-label on it. Lemony Flutters label is a standout, bright, lemony yellow!

I think Lush were really clever to inject this colour into the labels of each of the exclusive body sprays in this Summer-led fragrance drop. The bright colours scream Summer; Alongside the uplifting scents contained within the six body spray bottles, it is impossible to not be excited about them.

You’ll recognise this body sprays scent if you have ever tried the Lemony Flutter cuticle butter. I have used it in the past but never got round to reviewing it.

My nail lady will be very pleased to hear that I’ve just ordered another pot. I predict hydrated cuticles and another Lemony Flutter scented review happening in the not so distant future… 

Ingredients wise, the Lemony Flutter body spray contains Sicilian lemon, chamomile blue oil, lavender oil and tagetes oil. It is a really unique scent.

I don’t think I have ever come across anything quite like it (from a cosmetics perspective) outside of Lush. It’s sweet, sharp but also has a sour sherbet layer to it too.

When you first apply it, it completely fools my brain into thinking that I am eating a sherbet lemon sweet; For anyone not familiar with sherbet lemons, they are a popular lemon flavoured boiled sweet that have a fizzy sherbet middle.

I find myself licking my lips every time I first come into contact with this body spray. With every spritz I am convinced that I am going to get a hit of tangy sherbet on my tongue.

Thanks to the tagetes oil in it, the Lemony Flutter body spray lasts for just over four or five hours on your skin and a little longer if it is sprayed on your clothes.

Once the fizziness of the body sprays scent has settled somewhat, other elements of the Lemony Flutter scent become more apparent. The only word I can think of to describe its settled scent is as hydrating; I understand you can’t really smell ‘hydration’ but it just really reminds me of being all lotioned up on a sunny holiday.

The Lush community were in desperate need of an influx of new perfume and body sprays. I’m going to be bold and say that I think Lemony Flutter is my favourite of the new exclusive body sprays currently available.

I’m actually surprised that Lush haven’t extended the Lemony Flutter scent family until now.

A very small amount of the Lemony Flutter body spray goes a very long way. It’s incredibly strong but not in a bad way.

The way the fragrance settles on you means I do like to spray it two maybe three times on myself which isn’t bad for a body spray. Just thinking of the body spray is making my mouth water, it’s that yummy!

Dream Cream Bath Bomb from Lush

The Dream Cream Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection.

The Dream Cream bath bomb looks just like previous Epsom salt bath bombs such as the Deep Sleep Magnesium bath bomb. It isn’t the only Epsom salt bath bomb from the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection either, the Cold Water Soother bath bomb is also currently available.

Epsom salt is a very popular ingredient that people add to their bath water to help with muscle pain and deep relaxation.

Even though I don’t exercise as much as I’d like to due to illness, I do get a lot of muscle pain so anything Epsom salt orientated is right up my street.

The Dream Cream bath bomb was inspired by Lush’s bestselling Dream Cream body lotion. The lotion equivalent of the Deep Sleep bath bomb is a favourite amongst customers with troubled skin as it is so gentle and soothing.


The Dream Cream bath bomb is cube shaped, one half of it is blue and the other half is white.

Each Dream Cream bath bomb is approximately 160g so a little lighter than the Epsom salt bath bombs that were released previously. To look at, they however look the same size.

The Dream Cream bath bomb contains Epsom salts, fine ground oatmeal, fair trade organic cocoa butter, rose absolute, chamomile blue oil, tea tree oil and lavender oil.

Dream Cream’s scent is as gentle as its ingredients, you can just make out the chamomile and lavender, it also has a slight oaty layer to its scent too.

Each ingredient is not just soothing on your skin but also has positive effects on your mood which in turn promotes calmness and relaxation.

As soon as the Dream Cream bath bomb touches your bath water you are greeted with a loud hiss. The blue and white parts of the bath bomb spill out of it, slowly changing the colour of your bath water to a light blue.

After just a few seconds the bath bomb sinks to the bottom of your bath and blue blobs of cocoa butter float to the top. When bath bombs sink like this, I like to let the bubbles tickle my back.

What surprised me about the Dream Cream bath bomb was the amount of cocoa butter in it. I didn’t realise quite how much it did have in it until the blue blobs of it floated to the water surface.

I should have known it would be super-cocoa-buttery as, it wouldn’t be a part of the Dream Cream family had it not been…

Like the other Epsom salt bath bombs, Dream Cream is a very quick dissolver and doesn’t create any bath art.

After just two minutes, all that is left of the Dream Cream are the chunks of cocoa butter that haven’t quite melted yet. I suspect the chunks would have melted a lot quicker for me if the bath water was at a higher temperature.

With it being so hot in the UK right now I didn’t have a red hot bath like I normally would so keep this in mind when you use it.

I feel that, like the Butterball bath bomb, if you want to make the most out of the cocoa butter in the Dream Cream bath bomb, it is best used in a hot as you can stand it bath. Although, if you do use it in a cooler bath it will be just as soothing, the butters just won’t be as melted.

The scent was more or less, non-existent by the end of the bath, but my skin felt fabulous and well soothed even without the bath water being super-hot!
