Cheep Cheep Bath Bomb from Lush

The Cheep Cheep Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Easter line.

Weighing in at just 75g each, Cheep Cheep is one of Lush’s smaller bath bombs. With it being so small, it’s also very cheap, no pun intended!

When the 2024 Easter collection was first announced the Cheep Cheep bath bomb caught my eye straight away as I can never resist a bath bomb that has eyes.

Looking at ALL of the bath bombs in this year’s Easter and Mother’s Day lines, it has never been harder to believe that they are all handmade.

The Cheep Cheep bath bomb is a bright yellow chick shaped bath bomb. Some of its ingredients include both bergamot and lime oils, violet leaf absolute, fine sea salt and a generous helping of popping candy.

Its scent is very similar to the Ostara bath bomb and What’s Up, Doc? Shower gel from past Easter lines. They are pretty much identical BUT I feel as if the Cheep Cheep bath bomb has a stronger berry scent-layer within it, somehow it smells more tropical to me.

Cheep Cheep’s scent is refreshing and fruity making it perfect for the Springtime and all-things-Easter. It’s a very berry-led-scent, the more you sniff it the more layers of fragrance seem to come through. If you like the Lush products that are fruity but not citrus heavy, it’s a perfect choice for you.

I don’t quite know how, but the blend of bergamot, lime and other ingredients in this bath bomb really gives off a raspberry like scent. It’s not an easy one to describe, it is a little citrusy but completely different from any citrus-Lush-scent made before.

As soon as the Cheep Cheep bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a hiss of yellow bubbles.

The Cheep Cheep bath bomb doesn’t offer anything bath-art-wise but quickly turns your bath water the same bright yellow as the bath bomb.

While the bath bomb fizzes away, its inviting-fruity-scent fills your bathroom.

It took just a little over 2 minutes for the Cheep Cheep bath bomb to fully dissolve, I thought at first that I’d missed the popping candy in it but as I went to lay back to just enjoy the fruity scented hot-water, snap, crackle, and pops began to sizzle away!

As I said earlier, the waters left behind by the Cheep Cheep bath bomb were bright yellow.

Once the bath bomb has fully dissolved the yellow water is really soft and still highly fragranced. A good soak in a Cheep Cheep bath left my skin feeling brighter and more refreshed. The scent could still be detected in my bathroom long after the last drop of bath water went down the plug hole too.

The scent also remained on my skin for a good few hours after getting out of the bath.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Cheep Cheep bath bomb. Nothing can upstage its beautiful scent!

Easter Turtle Shower Jelly from Lush

The Easter Turtle Shower Jelly is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Easter line. I was lucky enough to get to try it before its initial release date as Lush kindly sent me one.

Designed to look just like a giant sea turtle, I couldn’t wait to give it a go in the shower.

The Easter Turtle is a mix of different shades of green and HUGE. Each jelly is 220g making it even bigger than both the Monster Octopus shower jelly and Tarantula shower jelly.

The Easter Turtle shower jelly contains bladderwrack seaweed infusion, sugar kelp infusion, carrageenan extract, myrrh resinoid, orange flower absolute and cinnamon leaf oil.

It shares its scent with the Apple Crumble bubble bar, Temptation shower gel and Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel bath bomb.

Straight out of the pot it’s an intense and warm fragrance, there’s an element of baked apples in there but I can also smell something I can only describe as being very green. At one point I was wrongly convinced it had elements of the Grass Lush-scent-family in it too.

Anyone who knows me personally will know that a sea turtle is one of my favourite animals and one I have been lucky enough to swim with in the Indian Ocean. This sea turtle shaped shower jelly has made me reflect on some of my most treasured memories.

With Easter Turtle being a novelty shaped shower jelly, I wondered how long it would last as unfortunately I find more often than not, that the novelty shaped jellies aren’t always as sturdy and robust as the normal, pot-shaped-ones.

As predicted, the Easter Turtle shower jelly did get a little flimsy after just a few uses. However, I’d rather use it and lose it than not use it at all… So far, I’ve used it 4 times and although it is showing a small amount of wear and tear, there’s plenty more of it to go around yet.

There is no right or wrong way to use a shower jelly, I prefer to use mine in the same way as you would a bar of soap, whole. Some people however chop their shower jellies up using a few pieces at a time, this is a good method if you’re sharing it with someone else.

If you do keep it whole, as I mentioned above, the Easter Turtle shower jelly is big enough to fit in your hand. It is a lot easier to keep a hold of in the shower being so big. Once you’ve used it simply rinse it off and then pop it back into the pot until you next want to use it.

The Easter Turtle shower jelly lathers up quickly, once you have enough of a lather it in your hands pop the shower jelly back in its pot and start to work your wet hands together.

Before I ever use a Lush product that I plan on reviewing, I always take photos beforehand. When taking the above photo, all I did was take the Easter Turtle out of its pot and place it into my bathtub so that I could get a photo of it. I hardly had any contact with it at all but could smell it on my hands/wrists for the rest of the day.

You do not have to lather the Easter Turtle for very long at all, a very small amount of it goes a long way.

As I stated earlier, The Easter Turtle shower jellies scent is intense. As soon as you take the pots lid off, you are hit with its fragrance BUT in use, the scent seems to explode, filling your bathroom and drenching your skin with its fragrance.

After using the Easter Turtle shower jelly my skin feels soft, warm, clean, and refreshed.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Easter Turtle shower jelly, it has such a strong and unique fragrance that seems to work in whatever format Lush decide to release it in.

Alien Bunny Bath Bomb from Lush

The Alien Bunny Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Easter line.

Weighing in at approximately 135g each, it is a little bit smaller than the Bunny Moon bath bomb from the same (2024) Easter line.

There seems to be a space theme…

The Alien Bunny bath bomb is a hot pink bunny flying around in a bright yellow spaceship. Underneath the spaceship is a small patch of green giving you a big clue on what’s to come bath-art-wise.

The Alien Bunny bath bomb contains grapefruit oil, Sicilian lemon oil, lime oil and freeze-dried carrot powder. Each of the ingredients have been carefully selected and mixed together to create an out-of-this-world, energising and refreshing bathing experience.

Lush’s website actually describes it as an ‘uplifting and other-worldly’ bath bomb.

I really like the Alien Bunny bath bombs scent; In ways it is similar to the likes of the Avobath bath bomb but it’s not quite as fierce.

My nose picks up mostly on the lime and Sicilian lemon oil that is in it, the grapefruit oil doesn’t make it at all bitter. It’s the perfect bright and cheery citrus fragrance for getting you ready for Springtime.

Some past products that share the same scent as the Alien Bunny bath bomb include, the Bubble Spinner reusable bubble bar and Sherbet Dip bath bomb.

As soon as the Alien Bunny bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of yellow foam, it doesn’t take long for some pink foam to also appear.

Shortly after the Alien Bunny bath bomb has been placed into the water a stream of green begins to shoot out of the bath bomb too.

Yellow, pink and green swirls slowly decorate the surface of your bath water as the bath bomb charges around. With all of the bath bombs colours clashing together so well it makes for some pretty amazing bath art.

The scent of the bath bomb is just as strong in the water as it was holding the bath bomb in my hand.

Alien Bunny is a fairly quick fizzer, after just 5 minutes it has fully dissolved. After swishing away the yellow, pink and green bath art you are left with acid-yellow bath water.

It’s not a colour that bothers me personally, BUT I have heard of some people complaining that it’s not the most pleasant colour to bathe in. As I said, it really doesn’t bother me at all; it’s just bath water and smells divine, there’s nothing at all gross about it.

The acid-yellow water is really soft and leaves my skin lightly scented as well as looking brighter, I wouldn’t say my skin was particularly hydrated after using this bath bomb but I’m also not desperate to slather myself with body lotion after using it either.

A body lotion in the same scent would be really, really good though. Hint, hint Lush…

At the very end I was surprised to find the little paper cow (pictured above) hidden inside of the Alien Bunny bath bomb. It seems that the alien bunny’s hobby was abducting cows, don’t worry I have reunited the cow with its family and it seems happy enough. Although, it now has a slight phobia of pink bunny rabbits! 😉
