Bee Body Balm from Lush

The Bee Body Balm is yet another exciting product from the Lush X Bridgerton line, Lush kindly gifted me most of the in-store and online Bridgerton stock and I have to say, the Bee body balm is a standout favourite.

I have really enjoyed exploring each of the new Bridgerton products, it is making the wait for part two of season three that little bit easier to get through!

The Bee body balm is the same shape as one of Lush’s standard massage bars; It actually fits into the oval Lush tin perfectly, even with the lid on.

The products design is incredibly detailed, on its front there is a honeycomb-like design and then a giant bee, with the letter ‘B’ on its bottom.

The Bee body balm contains fair trade cocoa butter, cornstarch, organic illipe butter, fairtrade organic mango butter, almond oil, organic rose hip oil, Brazilian orange oil and bergamot oil.

It’s a light-yellow colour and is a member of the Honey I Washed The Kids scent-family. Some other products that share its scent and that I have reviewed are the Golden Egg shower gel, Shoot for the Stars bath bomb and Scrubee body butter.

Some have actually described the Bee body balm as a Scrubee body butter without the scrubby bits.

The Bee body balm smells just like a pot of honey but with a slight citrus twist. I’d also like to point out that it is completely Vegan which is a big deal as back in the day, products with this scent were originally only vegetarian.

Even though Bee looks like a massage bar it is a body balm. It’s hard for me to say for definite what differentiates between a body balm and massage bar as you do use both in similar ways.

My understanding of Bee is that it’s not quite as oily as a massage bar and during application almost takes on a powder like consistency, that powdery part then quickly sinks in because of the heat of your skin.

I thought that with the Bee body balm not being as oily as a massage bar, it would mean I need to use more to get my desired level of hydration but a little goes a long way.

I’ve used the Bee body balm five or six times now, focusing only on my elbows and other dry patches of skin. I’ve even used it as a cuticle oil with good results.

The scent lasts on your skin for a good few hours, as does its moisturisation level.Overall, I am very impressed with the Bee body balm and I’m excited to see what body balms Lush come up with in the future!

Passion Bath Bomb from Lush

Today I am reviewing the brand-new Passion Bath Bomb from Lush’s 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection.

Much like the Thermal Waves bath bomb from the same collection, Passion has such striking colours that it demands your immediate attention.

The Passion bath bomb is a swirling mix of hot pink, red and yellow. As soon as I had the bath bomb in my possession, I couldn’t wait to give it a go.

The Passion bath bomb contains buchu, litsea cubeba and sweet wild orange oils.

It shares its scent with several past products including, the Passion shower gel, Cyclops bubble bar, SpongeBob bath bomb and also the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub.

Lush describe the Passion bath bomb as ‘mouth-wateringly juicy and fruity’. It’s a rich passion fruit like fragrance and the perfect pick-me-up. It reminds me of the Summer and long days on the beach.

Each of the Passion bath bombs are approximately 180g each fitting easily in my hand.

As soon as the Passion bath bomb comes into contact with your bath water there is an explosion of thick tropical coloured foam.

The hot pink, red and yellows of the bath bomb start to bleed into each other making it look like the Passion bath bomb also has lighter pink and orange colours in it too.

It doesn’t take long for the bath bomb to start spinning and creating the most gorgeous swirling bath art.

As always, the photos in this review do the bath bomb no justice at all, the colours that spill out of the Passion bath bomb are so bright and bold. My camera couldn’t quite capture its true beauty.

The Passion bath bomb takes about 8 minutes to fully dissolve, the water left behind is a bright shade of orange and it’s super silky feeling.

Sat in its tropical waters, I feel like I am in a fish-bowl-cocktail and not a bathtub at all. I don’t think a bath bomb has ever made me want to be on a sunny holiday more!

The Passion bath bombs scent intensifies somewhat once it is in the bathtub, there’s just something about its scent and all of the colours that spill out of it that leaves me feeling happy.

Using the Passion bath bomb left my skin lightly fragranced and soft to the touch. I couldn’t help but notice how hydrated my skin felt and how much brighter it looked after using it too.

Overall, I am completely in love with the Passion bath bomb. I have thoroughly enjoyed every bath bomb from the World Bath Bomb day release that I have tried so far but the Passion bath bomb, has really made a lasting impression on me.

It’s beautiful scent and array of Summery colours has made this bath bomb one of my all-time favourites!

Human Rights Showder from Lush

The Human Rights Showder is Lush’s latest charity product. All of the money (minus VAT) from the sales of this product goes to support the vital work of EachOther, a small UK-focused charity that uses independent journalism, storytelling and film making to tell the stories that would otherwise go unheard.

The Human Rights showder is raising awareness that in the UK, the essential human rights that we all rely on to protect us are under threat. Our rights exist to protect us all from persecution and safeguard the most marginalised members of our society.

Here’s a direct link to the EachOther Instagram page (EachOtherUK) so you can get a better idea on what Lush and Eachother are trying to achieve together. The UK are currently up against potentially being pulled out of the European Court of Human Rights, something that I believe shouldn’t even be up for discussion.

Thank you to Lush for sending me out a box of this so that I could be a part of the campaign. As a disabled woman the idea behind losing any more than I already have, terrifies me.

For anyone who hasn’t experienced a Lush showder before, I suspect you’re wondering what a showder even is… A showder is quite simply a shower-powder. To use a showder all you have to do is take a handful of the powder from its box, then add water.

The Showder then foams up and creates a lovely thick lather. The reaction is not dissimilar to how a bath bomb reacts when it first gets wet. Once you have it all mixed up, you use it just as you would a shower gel.

Human Rights is a sky blue colour, just like its box. It shares its scent with Salt Water Soother bath bomb and contains a mixture of extra virgin coconut, peppermint, eucalyptus and spearmint oil. Its scent is super uplifting, using it in the morning gives me a real boost.

Scent wise, the most dominant of the oils in the Human Rights showder that I can smell are the spearmint and eucalyptus. Before now, I have reviewed showders and mentioned how impractical a carboard boxed product is for the shower.

However, the Human Rights showder seems to be in a much easier to handle box than previous showders. While you still can’t keep the box in the shower with you, getting a small amount of the showder out is a lot easier to do now, I now just grab a small handful before I jump in the shower. All you need to do is tip a little out into your hand.

As showders go, I was surprised at how far the showder powder goes, normally I’d have to use quite a lot of showder to get a decent lather but the Human Rights showder foams up quickly and creates a soft yet scrubby foam that not only cleans your skin but leaves your skin feeling cool too.

I am going to be taking full advantage of this showders cooling properties and energy boosting fragrance when Summer finally arrives!
