Asteroid Bath Bomb from Lush

2023 has been a very busy year for Lush, not only are they churning out products from their normal seasonal lines but also taking part in collaboration after collaboration too. Today I am reviewing the Asteroid Bath Bomb from the Lush X Asteroid City collab!

Unfortunately, my local cinema closed so I still haven’t seen the new Asteroid City movie but that hasn’t stopped me from appreciating this mini collab.

The Asteroid bath bomb is shaped just as its name suggests, it’s a mix of dark shimmery blue and purple and even has crater holes.

The Asteroid bath bomb shares its scent with the Asteroid City shower gel from the same line as well as the Space Girl bath bomb and Very Very Frightening shower gel.

Asteroid contains grapefruit, bergamot, and almond oils as well as a generous helping of popping candy.

The ‘Space Girl scent’ is a much-loved scent family within the Lush community and I’m always happy to try it, in whatever format Lush chooses to release it in.

The Asteroid bath bombs scent isn’t an easy one to describe but I’ll give it my best shot, the first thing that I think of when sniffing the Asteroid bath bomb is raspberries. It’s a very gentle, berry scent.

It is not at all overpowering like some Lush scents are. It would be a good choice if you prefer the softer Lush scents.

The Asteroid bath bomb is the same size as the standard Lush bath bomb such as, Avobath or Twilight and fits snuggly in my hand.

As soon as the Asteroid bath bomb encounters your bath water a burst of blue, purple, and red foam bursts out of it. Slowly it starts to fizz away, charging around your bath like a mini speed boat.

As it spins around, blue, purple, and red bath art continues to spill out of it. The bath art colours are not dissimilar to the likes created by the Intergalactic bath bomb.

It doesn’t take long for the popping candy within the Asteroid bath bomb to make an appearance either. As the bath bomb spills out the array of colours and raspberry-like scent, the popping candy snap, crackles, and pops away putting on quite the show.

The photos in this review do the Asteroid bath bomb no justice at all. The bath art was insanely pretty!

It takes a good 10 minutes for the Asteroid bath bomb to fully dissolve, the water it leaves behind is a beautiful shade of purply blue. It’s incredibly shimmery, making me think of the nights sky. It’s like laying back in your own galaxy.

The water is a little tingly on my skin which I often find is the case when a bath bomb contains popping candy.

My skin laps up all the bath bombs goodness, leaving it feeling silky smooth. Once you’re out of the bath the light raspberry scent can still be smelt on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day too.

Overall, I really enjoyed having a new bath bomb to try in the ‘Space Girl’ scent, I do love the Space Girl bath bomb, but the bath art is what really sets the Asteroid bath bomb apart from the Space Girl bath bomb.

I am looking forward to reviewing further products from this collab over the next few days!

Fresh As Shower Gel from Lush

2023 seems to be the year of shower gel remakes at Lush. We’ve had Santa’s Christmas shower cream reimagined into the Mario shower gel and the So White shower gel reimagined into the Luigi shower gel, today I will be reviewing the Fresh As Shower Gel.

The Fresh As shower gel was released by Lush as a part of their 2023’s Father’s Day line. If you’re a frequent Lush customer, You’ll likely recognise this shower gel because before now it was originally released for Father’s Day under the name Rad Dad.

Unlike the other reimagined shower gels that I mentioned above, Fresh As and Rad Dad only have one difference and that’s their name. Fresh As is described by Lush as a ‘Siberian pine and orris oil bathroom treat’.

It is a beautiful dark shade of blue and shares its scent with all of the products from the Fresh As/Needles and Pines scent-family. I knew before I had even tried it that it would be a firm favourite for my husband in particular, he already uses the Fresh As perfume that I got him for Christmas 2020 all of the time so a shower gel equivalent has gone down a treat.

Fresh As contains a long list of refreshing and stimulating ingredients, there’s Siberian fir needle, orris and tagetes oils as well as benzoin resinoid and also infusion of fresh cucumber.

Its scent is very outdoorsy, rich and herbaceous. It’s refreshing but also creates a warming sensation on your skin, it’s an excellent shower gel to use after a workout or physically demanding day.

As someone who deals with chronic pain in all of my joints and muscles, the Fresh As shower gels stimulating effects really does help soothe my tired, aching muscles.

Consistency-wise the Fresh As shower gel is lovely and thick, much like the Hot Toddy and Bubbly shower gels. After several quite recent watery shower gel releases from Lush, I was pleasantly surprised when I first squirted some Fresh As shower gel in my hands.

Fresh As lathers up quickly and the tiniest amount goes an incredibly long way. A blob the size of a one-pound coin is more than enough to wash your whole body with.

Its scent really does come alive when combined with the hot water and steam from your shower. If you’re looking for a product that isn’t as spicy as Cinders shower gel, yet is still warming on the skin, Fresh As is well worth a try.

The shower gels scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day. I wouldn’t say it was a particularly hydrating shower gel, but it doesn’t dry out my skin at all.

Overall, I am very impressed with the Fresh As shower gel, it’s good value for money and is loved by everyone in my house. I have my fingers crossed that Lush bring out more products that share the Fresh As scent!

Out Of This World Bath Bomb from Lush

Up until 2023, Lush’s Father’s Day lines have always been small and (dare I say) the least exciting of all of the seasonal lines released throughout the year. This year Lush have however broken the cycle, the 2023 Father’s Day line is incredible!

The line is still small but with its quirky outer-space theme it has gone down a storm with customers, I don’t think I have ever liked the Father’s Day line so much before.

Today, I’m going to be reviewing the astronaut shaped Out Of This World Bath Bomb.

The Out of This World bath bomb contains green tea powder, olibanum resinoid, popping candy and lime and sweet wild orange oils and shares its scent with the Never Mind the Ballistics bath bomb.

The scent is bold and sweet, the lime oil is the first ingredient my nose recognises, then second is the sharp and juicy orange, it’s a tropical medley that leaves you wanting more.

The Out of This World bath bomb is super-sparkly! It is mainly white with hints of blue and pinky-purple edges. As I said earlier, it’s designed to look like an astronaut, it reminds me a little of Disney’s Buzz Light Year’s ‘to infinity and beyond!’ pose.

Size-wise the Out of This World bath bomb is about the same size as the Rocket Science bath bomb, I’m a little sad that I can’t try them both together as the bath art of both together would be amazing.

As soon as the Out of This World bath bomb touches the water, blue and purple foam begins to spill out of the bath bombs edges. Soon the water takes over the bath bomb, as it bobs around just under the water’s surface, white foam slowly begins to spill out of it too.

If you look carefully you can also see little stars decorate the water surface, although they disappear very quickly.

The bath art photos in this review do the Out of This World bath bomb no justice at all. The bath art was on par with some of the best Lush bath bombs such as Roller, IRL and the Ghostie. I wish I could have got a photo of the mini stars I mentioned above.

The Out of This World bath bomb is quite the slow fizzer taking approximately 10 minutes to fully dissolve, leaving you with plenty of time to sit back and enjoy the bath-art-show that it puts on.

I found the light purple waters left behind by Out of This World incredibly soothing on the skin.

The scent of the Out of This World bath bomb is quite powerful when compared to other bath bombs currently available, the scent of it can still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath. My skin still feels incredibly soft throughout the next day too.

I really loved this bath bomb, it has to be one of my most favourite products from all of the Father’s Day releases combined.

It smells great, performs beautifully, and leaves me feeling refreshed and upbeat. I hope Lush bring it back again for next year’s Father’s Day line!
