Mother Nature Bath Bomb from Lush

The Mother Nature Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Mother’s Day line.

Weighing in at approximately 75g each, the Mother Nature bath bomb is the same size as the recently released Love Potion bath bomb.

Recently Lush have started to release smaller sized bath bombs, some might say that you’re no longer getting the same amount of product for your money but through my excessive use of Lush bath bombs I know that bigger doesn’t necessarily mean a bath bomb will be better.

I never judge a bath bomb on first look as the plainer or smaller ones can often give you the best of surprises during use…

The Mother Nature bath bomb has quite a simple design. It’s a bright green face with several flowers of different sizes decorating the faces hair; Also included is a real, single pressed Cosmos flower stuck on the side of the bath bombs head, it’s simple but beautiful. It reminds me of Te Fiti in the animated film, Moana.

As well as the pressed Cosmos flower, Mother Nature bath bomb also contains rosewood oil, bergamot oil, ylang ylang oil, fair trade olive oil.

It shares its scent with the NEW Groovy Kind of Love bath bomb and Pink Flamingo reusable bubble bar.

The Mother Nature bath bomb’s scent is sweet, fruity and oozes happy vibes. It is a citrus led scent BUT is a lot gentler than the average citrus based Lush product. It will most likely appeal to customers who like a more subtle, zesty-scented product.

As soon as the Mother Nature bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of green bubbles.

The Mother Nature bath bomb doesn’t offer much bath-art-wise, but its mood-brightening scent makes it a must try!

The scent of the bath bomb really comes to life once placed into the water, even though it’s quite a gentle scent it still seems to fill your bathroom.

With the Mother Nature bath bomb being so dinky, it took just over three minutes to fully dissolve leaving only the flower and bright green waters behind.

The bright green waters smell heavenly, the Mother Nature bath bomb is quite literally sunshine in bath bomb form. Its scent lingers in your bathroom once you’ve pulled the plug and can still be smelt on your skin long after getting out of the bath, after using it I couldn’t help but keep sniffing myself!

The water left behind by the Mother Nature bath bomb not only smells delicious but also feels amazing on your skin. It’s a very no-fuss bath bomb but one of the best to have come out so far this year. Sometimes it’s not all about bath art but about its design and how it smells.

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 Mother Nature but I’m not desperate to slather myself in a body lotion either.

Overall, I absolutely adore the Mother Nature bath bomb, it really does make you realise that the big and multicoloured bath bombs aren’t always the best. I am looking forward to seeing what other smaller bath bombs Lush come up with in the future.

The Old Songs Are Waking Sugar Scrub from Lush

The Old Songs Are Waking Sugar Scrub is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Mother’s Day line. I was lucky enough to get to try it before its initial release as Lush gifted me a pot. Since, I have bought myself another pot which I think speaks volumes on how much I like the product!

Back in August 2023 Lush released the Barbie Dream sugar scrub and I have never loved an exfoliation product from Lush more. I was therefore over the moon to see that The Old Songs Are Waking was also a sugar scrub. Mark my words, sugar scrubs are Lush’s next bestsellers, there’s just something so special about them.

The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub contains caster sugar, fair trade organic cocoa butter, babassu oil, extra virgin coconut oil, tonka absolute, vanilla absolute, bergamot oil and olibanum resinoid. As you can see in the photo below, the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub is a swirl of blue and white with a generous sprinkling of golden lustre. It looks almost too pretty to use.

Scent-wise, the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub is complicated but delicious. By complicated I mean almost impossible to describe, it’s sweet and fruity but also has non-sickly candy-like elements to it too. The tonka and vanilla absolutes mixed with the bergamot oil is a blend made in heaven. It smells so clean and fresh; I could imagine the scent selling well as a laundry detergent.

Consistency-wise, the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub is really thick, it’s most like the Barbie Dream sugar scrub I mentioned earlier but has elements of the Intergalactic body scrub too.

On the pot it says that it is a ‘smoothing sugar scrub that calls for you to sing while you bathe or shower’. After scooping out a small amount, I lathered it up and went straight to work with it.

I advise rubbing the sugar scrub in, in small, circular motions followed by rinsing it off. A small amount of the scrub goes a very long way, and I was pleasantly surprised at just how quickly it lathered up too.

I am just as impressed with the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub for exfoliation as I was the Barbie Dream sugar scrub. Lush really do need to make more sugar scrubs in all of their best-selling scents, all of the ones that have been released so far have been absolutely incredible.

I speak so highly of Lush’s sugar scrubs because of how they make my skin feel after using them. Lush’s new sugar-scrub-formula is really gentle but so incredibly scrubby at the same time.

With both the Barbie Dream and the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrubs, Lush have balanced the ratio of caster sugar and skin-moisturising ingredients perfectly. The Old Songs Are Waking is just as buttery as it is scrubby. It’s one of the best exfoliators I have ever used. There’s no need for body lotion afterwards and my skin has never looked so bright.

Overall, I am more than a little obsessed with the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub. I hope that Lush decide to make a sugar scrub a part of their main line (instead of just a limited-edition product) soon. I’d be more than happy for the, The Old Songs Are Waking to be a main line sugar scrub but am also excited to see what other sugar scrubs Lush can make us!

Inner Dragon Bath Bomb from Lush

The Inner Dragon Bath Bomb is a product specifically made for the Lunar New Year celebrations. It was released at the start of 2024, ready and waiting for the start of the year of the dragon!

In years previous to 2024, Lush have created other Lunar new year products such as the Lucky Tiger bath bomb, Dragon Legend reusable bubble bar and Gold Rabbit bath bomb.

All of them were favourites of mine when they were released, so I was incredibly excited to see that Lush had once again decided to celebrate the Lunar New Year with another year-of-the bath bomb.

The Inner Dragon bath bomb is just a little bit smaller than the standard sized bath bomb (such as Twilight) weighing in at 190g.

All of the Lunar New Year products have shared similar colours, consisting of oranges, reds and gold. Inner Dragon is however Lush’s most complicated Lunar new year bath bomb yet. It’s a standard shaped red bath bomb with a golden dragon wrapped around it.

Lush have released a similar bath bomb before with the Tengri bath bomb, Tengri also had a dragon wrapped around it. The Inner Dragon bath bomb however has a much more identifiable dragon and I suspect this will make it sell a lot better than Tengri did.

The Inner Dragon is so incredibly detailed that it makes it almost impossible to believe that Lush bath bombs are all hand pressed.

Since 3D printing technology has improved (making it possible for more complicated bath-bomb-mould designs) the details of Lush bath bombs keep getting better and better.

Inner Dragons scent is from Lush’s scent family, Big. It’s a popular Lush scent that I’m very happy to have in a more affordable bath bomb form.

The Inner Dragon bath bomb contains a long list of ingredients including the likes of: Sicilian red mandarin oil, vanilla absolute, orange flower absolute, ginger powder, and mandarin powder.

Its scent is hard to explain but to me it always reminds me of eating vanilla ice cream at the beach. It’s refreshing while also being warm and uplifting.

As soon as the Inner Dragon bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a huge hiss and mounds of bright orange foam. The first time I used it I was so surprised at the amount of foam in such a short period of time that I almost dropped the bath bomb before I could take the below photo!

It doesn’t take long for red bubbles to appear from the bath bomb too, creating orange and red swirls decorated with golden lustre.

With the Inner Dragon bath bomb dissolving so quickly (just under 3 minutes) I didn’t manage to capture any bath art photos but the oranges and reds coming out of it (even though for a very short amount of time) were spectacular to watch.

The Water left behind by the Inner Dragon bath bomb is a blood-orange colour. With it being such a fast fizzer, it leaves you with plenty of time to sit back and relax in its skin-soothingly-perfect waters. I can still smell its gentle scent on my skin for the rest of the day. It also left my skin feeling soft and refreshed right into the next day too.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Inner Dragon bath bomb, it’s a fantastic product inspired by a beautifully reflective and special time of year. I am looking forward to seeing what Lush come up with for Lunar new year, 2025!

Happy Lunar New Year everyone, may the year of the dragon treat you well!
