Sweet Ruby Bath Bomb from Lush

In celebration of World Bath Bomb Day 2025 and to mark Lush’s 30th birthday, Lush Cosmetics have pulled out all the stops by releasing 30 unique bath bombs; A dazzling mix of golden oldies, revamped classics, and brand-new delights.

The first one I’ll be reviewing from this exciting line-up is the Sweet Ruby Bath Bomb.

Sweet Ruby stands out immediately with its vivid hot pink colour and a simple yet bold design. Made into Lush’s traditional bath bomb shape, it has the number 30 stamped into its side, a proud nod to its place in this celebratory collection!

The Sweet Ruby bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: cream of tartar, davana oil, tonka absolute, and fir balsam resin.

It shares its scent with the Home Sweet Pineapple body balm, a scent family that was inspired by pineapple cake.

Each bath bomb is 180g each fitting snuggly in your hand.Sweet Ruby’s fragrance is unmistakably summery; Think sugary pineapple with a juicy, mouthwatering edge. It reminds me of one of my all time favourite ice lollies, the classic pineapple split. Sweet, fresh, and tropical.

Once in the bath, the Sweet Ruby bath bomb instantly begins to fizzle away starting with an explosion of vivid hot pink foam that slowly thins out.

As the Sweet Ruby bath bomb gently spins and dissolves, lighter and darker shades of pink begin to bubble out of it, painting the surface of your bathwater with delicate swirls and perfectly pink bath art, far more than I expected from such a solid, single shaded bath bomb!

As it fizzes away, the scent blossoms fully, flooding your bathroom with sweet, fruity warmth.

It’s as though a beach bar has opened right in your own home. Think sunshine, cocktails, and sand in between your toes!

The Sweet Ruby bath bomb takes a good 12 minutes to dissolve, which means you get to enjoy the pink bath art for that little bit longer. The water it leaves behind is hot pink, rich in fragrance, and gloriously soft to the touch.

Once out of the bath, I was pleased to find my skin felt smooth, refreshed, and lightly scented with that same tropical sweetness, it clung to my skin for several hours after.

All in all, the Sweet Ruby bath bomb took me by surprise. I hadn’t expected much bath art from it, but the layered pinks were a welcome treat. It has such a fun, fruity scent and in my opinion is a perfect addition to Lush’s 30th birthday collection.

I am so excited to try and review the other 29 in the collection!

Froggy Friend Shower Jelly from Lush

The Froggy Friend Shower Jelly is a limited-edition product from Lush’s 2025 Easter range.

It is a pale, aqua green colour and made into the most delightful little frog shape. It has two large, bulging eyes, dimpled cheeks, a big smiley mouth, speckled head and four dinky frog feet with little froggy toes!

Each Froggy Friend shower jelly comes in at a generous 190g, making it almost twice the size of the other recently released shower jellies such as Coffee Morning shower jelly.

It contains some of the following ingredients: glycerine, soya milk, carrageenan extract, lemon myrtle oil, grapefruit oil and ylang ylang oil.

Froggy Friend shares its scent with the popular Snow Dragon bath bomb from previous Winter collections and belongs to the Baked Alaska Lush-scent-family.

Its fragrance is best described as bright and zingy, think fresh citrus with a sharp, springy edge. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for sluggish mornings, cutting through grogginess and giving you a much-needed boost.

As a novelty shaped jelly, I did worry how well Froggy Friend would hold up during use. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long, within seconds of trying to lather it up, two of my Froggy’s little feet fell off… While it sadly didn’t keep its froggy form for long, the shower jelly did still lather up just fine and remained completely usable.

There’s no right or wrong way to use a shower jelly. I prefer to use mine whole, like a bar of soap, others however like to chop theirs into chunks – especially handy if you’re sharing it with someone. Once you’ve used your jelly, simply rinse it off and pop it back into its pot ready for next time.

Despite falling apart on first use, Froggy Friend produced a great lather with very little effort. It left my skin feeling clean, fresh and lightly fragranced.

The heat and steam from the shower helped its scent blossom too, temporarily turning the whole bathroom into a citrusy, super energising steam room!

Post shower, my skin felt refreshed and revived, though I did find it a touch drier than usual. Nothing a quick splash of moisturiser couldn’t however solve. The fragrance lingered on my skin for about an hour afterwards too.

Overall, I really enjoyed the Froggy Friend shower jelly. Its charming design made me smile, and although I’d have liked it to stay whole for a little longer, its flimsiness didn’t take away from how well it performed as a shower jelly. It washed beautifully and delivered an instant energy boost!

Kuromi Bath Bomb from Lush

I’ve always had a soft spot for characters that are a little different from the norm, so when I found out that the character Kuromi would be featuring as a bath bomb in the new Lush X Hello Kitty and Friends collection, I couldn’t wait to get a hold of her.

The Kuromi Bath Bomb is one of eight limited edition products from Lush’s latest collaboration with the Hello Kitty franchise, and it is every bit as mischievous and adorable (in a tough way of course) as the character.

I was lucky enough to be gifted the Kuromi bath bomb from Lush.

Shaped just like the cheeky, goth-queen herself, the bath bomb captures Kuromi’s signature look perfectly. She is wearing her pointed black jester-style-hat over her bunny ears, and it has the famous pink skull stamped on its front.

Her nose, just like the Hello Kitty bath bomb from the same collection is also a single tapioca pearl.

Each Kuromi bath bomb fits neatly in the palm of your hand and weighs in at around 130g.

Kuromi contains some of the following ingredients: almond essential oil, benzoin resinoid and ylang ylang oil.

The Kuromi bath bombs scent is from Lush’s Happy Blooming scent-family. It’s a rich, cherry-almond scent. The almond note is the most prominent ingredient to my nose, it is almost marzipan-like, the benzoin is also detectable and adds a layer of cosy vanilla-like warmth.

As soon as the Kuromi bath bomb comes into contact with your bath water there is an explosion of pink foam that has a very small amount of black in it. This is not what I was expecting at all considering how dark Kuromi appears to be at first glance.

The black part of the bath bomb seems to be a very thin layer, and underneath it, it is all bright pink!

The Kuromi bath bomb takes just over 5 minutes to fully dissolve and creates different variations of pink-coloured bath-art-swirls with a sprinkling of black bits in it, it almost looks like someone has added a small amount of black pepper to it…

The water didn’t stay fragrant for very long, but it was incredibly soft leaving my skin hydrated and appearing brighter.

Again, the scent had died down once the bath bomb had dissolved and I couldn’t detect it on my skin once I was out of the bath. Which may sound like a negative but was a good thing for me as sometimes I find marzipan scents quite overpowering.

Overall, I absolutely adore the Kuromi bath bomb, it is the Kuromi character through and through and I love it’s colouring, the black and pink clash together in the best of ways!
