The Craic Bath Bomb from Lush

This year, Lush have put together a small but special St Patrick’s Day collection, with both products being inspired by the traditions and folklore of Ireland.

Today, I’m reviewing The Craic Bath Bomb. It is shaped like Ireland’s iconic Celtic harp – the inspiration behind it comes from the Irish word ‘craic,’ which means fun.

In Ireland, some of the best ‘craic’ happens in local pubs, where good drinks, lively music, and great company come together. This bath bomb is designed to capture the spirit of St Patrick’s Day, bringing the essence of a classic Irish celebration to your bathroom.

Weighing in at approximately 105g, it is about half the weight of the bestselling bath bomb Intergalactic.

Colour wise, The Craic bath bomb is golden on its outside. In many ways it is very similar to the, The Wizard bath bomb, it has the same golden foil-like coating and is a shade of emerald-green underneath.

The Craic bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: almond essential oil, vetivert oil, cedarwood oil, fair trade organic cinnamon powder, cedarwood powder and plenty of popping candy.

Its scent is from Lush’s Bûche De Noël scent family. It is an almond heavy fragrance, so very sweet. The cedarwood oil in it adds a layer of woodiness to the fragrance too making it a very relaxing and soothing fragrance.

As soon as the, The Craic bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of thin green foam, as it slowly dissolves golden flecks begin to break away from the bath bomb decorating the green foam with a golden shimmer.

The Craic bath bomb doesn’t offer much bath-art-wise BUT does put on quite the show, it doesn’t take long for the popping candy to make an appearance adding crackling sound to your bathing experience.

I’m not a huge fan of Lush’s Bûche De Noël scent family, but once The Craic bath bomb hit the water, its rich almond sweetness is softened down somewhat. The woody elements of its fragrance then became more prominent, and it was at this point that I realised how relaxed I was feeling in its waters…

It took approximately seven minutes for my, The Craic bath bomb to completely dissolve. The water left behind is a forest green that is decorated with shimmery golden flecks, the bath water is also silky smooth to the touch and incredibly hydrating on your skin.

Its scent didn’t really stick to my skin at all, but it did leave my skin feeling soft. Overall, I absolutely adored the, The Craic bath bomb, with it not being a scent I particularly like I was worried I wouldn’t like it, but I really enjoyed using it and am looking forward to what Lush come up with for St Patrick’s Day next year!

Sleepy Timmy Bubble Bar from Lush

The Shaun the Sheep X Lush collaboration is finally out! In partnership with Aardman, Lush have created six fresh, fully vegan products – each of them a tribute to Shaun the Sheep and the charming characters from his world.

Today I am reviewing the Sleepy Timmy Bubble Bar, I was lucky enough to receive one in a PR box from Lush.

The Sleepy Timmy bubble bar is based on the main character (Shaun’s) younger cousin, Timmy. Like the Shaun The Sheep bath bomb from the same collection, the Sleepy Timmy bubble bar is made into the characters face, unlike Shaun, Timmy doesn’t have a fluffy white top but does have two similar large cartoonish eyes.

The Sleepy Timmy bubble bar is all black apart from the whites of his eyes. In ways, it reminds me of the Bewitched bubble bar – that bubble bar was also all black apart from its yellow eyes.

Weighing in at approximately 100g, Sleepy Timmy is one of Lush’s smaller bubble bars. Given its size, I decided to use the entire bar for a single bath. Normally, I stretch my bubble bars across multiple baths, but this time, I opted to indulge in the full Sleepy Timmy experience all at once.

Ingredients wise, the Sleepy Timmy bubble bar contains some of the following ingredients: lavender oil, chamomile oil, lavender absolute and neroli oil.

The Sleepy Timmy bubble bar scent is a part of Lush’s Deep Sleep scent-family. Other products that have recently come out in the same scent include the Sleepy Bear shower gel and Deep Sleep bath bomb.

Sleepy Timmy is packed with some of the world’s most relaxing ingredients, boasting a lavender-rich scent with soothing notes of chamomile.

While my nose struggles to pick up on the neroli that is in Sleepy Timmy, its calming effects are undeniably there, I was left feeling content and blissfully relaxed – just what neroli used in cosmetics is known for.

To use the non-reusable bubble bars like Sleepy Timmy, I break them up then stick the bubble bar pieces into a sieve and let the running-tap spill over it (see above photo).

This method is the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have worked out that it is the best way to get the most out of your bubble bar, bubble wise.

A blanket of fluffy white bubbles starts to grow as soon as you place the broken-up pieces of the Sleepy Timmy bubble bar under the running tap.

Underneath the bubbles the water turns jet black. I noticed as the bubbles built up that the larger bubbles had an almost rainbow tinted sheen to them, it was hard to capture in a photo, the above photos is the best I managed.

Having a good soak in a Sleepy Timmy bath left my skin feeling silky smooth and looking fresh as a daisy. The scent lasted throughout the whole bath and left me feeling a little sleepy, maybe I should have used it before bed instead of first thing in the morning…

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Sleepy Timmy bubble bar, it’s a great addition to the Shaun The Sheep X Lush line!

Up, Up and Away Bath Bomb from Lush

The Up, Up and Away Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition release from Lush’s 2025 Mother’s Day range.

Weighing in at only 90g, it is one of Lush’s smaller and more affordable bath bombs.

Up, Up and Away is a bright pink and violet hot-air-balloon shaped bath bomb. The balloon part of this bath bomb is pink and the basket violet.

The balloon is decorated with a zig zag pattern and 5 stars, while the basket has one love heart in its centre.

The Up, Up and Away bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: Sicilian lemon oil, lemon myrtle oil, litsea cubeba and styrax resinoid.

The Up, Up and Away scent family is new to Lush and by far one of the juiciest they’ve made to date; I’d buy gallons of it in a body spray format!

The Sicilian lemon oil is probably what comes through the strongest, it’s a beautiful rich lemony fragrance that I can’t get enough of, it’s got me well and truly in the mood for Spring, it’s incredibly refreshing and has blown away all of the cobwebs of Winter for me. The more I sniff the Up, Up and Away bath bomb the more I want it.

The Up, Up and Away bath bomb fits snuggly in my hand and as I said earlier, (with it being one of Lush’s smaller bath bombs) it is one of the cheaper ones from the 2025 Mother’s Day line.

Lush have been creating more and more smaller bath bombs recently, and I’m all for it. The smaller ones quite often put the bigger ones to shame.

As soon as the Up, Up and Away bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of hissing pink and violet foam. The violet foam however starts to look more of a light blue once in the water, the colours coming out of the Up, Up and Away bath bomb actually remind me of the Twilight bath bomb.

Despite the Up, Up and Away bath bomb being two different colours it doesn’t offer much bath-art-wise but its fruity scent and the hot pink colour that it turns your bath water makes it a must try.

The Up, Up and Away scent just gets better and better. Once you place it into the water, the scent completely takes over your bathroom. It’s not blow-your-head-off strong but it holds its ground, I could still smell it in the air long after the last drop of water went down the drain.

For such a small bath bomb I was surprised at how long it took to fully dissolve (approximately nine minutes), the water left behind is a bold and beautiful shade of hot pink, is silky smooth and incredibly hydrating on your skin too.

The best thing about the Up, Up and Away bath bomb for me has to be its scent. I could still smell it on my skin the morning after using it. DELICIOUS!

Overall, I absolutely adore the Up, Up and Away bath bomb and have my fingers crossed that Lush expand this scent family sooner rather than later.
