Moon On A Stick Bath Bomb from Lush

The Moon On A Stick Bath Bomb is as beautiful as it is peculiar. It was originally released by Lush over a decade ago as a Lush-Forum-exclusive but recently made a comeback as an item in the October 2024 Lush Kitchen Subscription Box.

Its design is a little strange but there is a story behind it… It is inspired by the phrase, “What more do you want, the moon on a stick?”

While the stick doesn’t add any practical function to this product, it gives it a fun and unique touch, making this bath bomb the one that immediately catches your eye in a room full of Lush products.

Moon On A Stick is a grey-white colour and just like the actual moon, has lots of craters all over its surface, it’s round and is a similar size to the standard sized Lush bath bombs such as Twilight and Intergalactic.

As I said earlier, the stick attached to this bath bomb doesn’t serve any practical purpose, it is purely decorational. Some customers choose to remove the stick, while others keep the stick in.

I decided to remove my bath bombs stick just before I placed it into the water.

The Moon On A Stick bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: jasmine absolute, neroli oil and ylang ylang oil.

It shares its scent with the Ghost shower gel, another retro product I can never get enough of.

Its scent is best described as slightly creamy with a light sprinkling of something floral. It’s a very subtle scent so better suited to customers that prefer the less in-your-face Lush-scent-families.

As soon as you place the Moon On A Stick bath bomb into your bath water it immediately starts to hiss; Grey-white coloured foam starts to spill out of it as it dissolves.

Within about 30 seconds of introducing the Moon On A Stick bath bomb to the water, a streak of blue bubbles then begins to trickle out of it.

Slowly but surely, more blue streaks burst out of the Moon On A Stick bath bomb and that’s when the bath art well and truly begins.

The Moon On A Stick bath bomb really is full of surprises. It looks so plain on the outside (and although I have learnt to never judge a bath bomb by its cover) I wasn’t expecting it to be as mesmerising as it was at all!

The photos in this review do the bath art created by the Moon On A Stick bath bomb no justice whatsoever. I also realised way too late that the bath bomb contained miniature dissolvable stars in it too.

After approximately 8 minutes, the Moon On A Stick bath bomb has fully dissolved; The water left behind is a deep shade of space blue.

A good long soak in a Moon On A Stick bath left my skin delicately scented and feeling soft and hydrated, this lasted for several hours after I got out of the bath.

Overall, I think this bath bomb is spectacular, from its name and the inspiration behind it, to its scent and stellar performance in the water.

It’s been a while since I’ve used a bath bomb with bath art this gorgeous!I really hope we get the chance to buy this bath bomb again very soon as it’s absolute perfection.

Cherry Pop Shower Gel from Lush

At the time of writing this review, the Cherry Pop Shower Gel has only ever been available in September 2024’s Lush Kitchen subscription box.

It was my favourite item from subscription box 52 and it seems a lot of customers feel the same way. It has proven very popular within the Lush community, so popular that I think Lush are starting to regret not making it a part of their 2024 Halloween line.

Spoiler alert… I LOVE the Cherry Pop shower gel; I have my fingers crossed that it one day becomes a main line shower gel, or at the very least, that Lush release it in a limited edition drop. It’s a crime that I only have one bottle. 🙁


We’ve had a lot of brand new shower gels this year, Super MilkPosh Chocolate and Fiona being the ones that first come to mind, BUT none of them have been quite as irresistible as the Cherry Pop shower gel!

The Cherry Pop shower gels fragrance is a brand new Lush scent. To me, the scent of Cherry Pop is the truest to the actual scent of cherries that Lush has ever created.

Some of the ingredients contained in the Cherry Pop shower gel are, cherry infusion, organic agave syrup, balsamic vinegar, labdanum resinoid, cinnamon leaf oil, lime oil and almond essential oil.

Earlier I said that the Cherry Pop shower gel is the truest to the actual scent of cherries that Lush has ever created. It doesn’t however smell of just cherries. It’s sweet with a tarty undertone, it smells just like the taste of those sugar coated, sour cherry sweets.

The best thing about the Cherry Pop shower gel is its unique colour, or should I say colours? – In the bottle the Cherry Pop shower gel looks dark green but as you pour the shower gel out, it becomes a shade of dark, cherry red.

I’m not 100% on the science behind it, it could very well just be an optical illusion but the unique way it appears to change colour had me very excited. Some people get excited over cars, others bird watching; Me? I get excited about Lush products! 😋

Consistency wise the Cherry Pop shower gel is quite thick but still very easy to get out of the bottle.

It lathers up easily and is super hydrating on your skin, it turns into a white almost foam-like-paste that when mixed with water, cleanses my body effortlessly.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom, it’s delicious. I hope Lush not only make this shower gel available in stores but also bring out other products that share its same cherry based scent. The idea of a body spray equivalent is making me salivate!

Once out of the shower the Cherry Pop scent remains on your skin for a good few hours, Overall, I am obsessed with this shower gel. It’s one of my favourite products to come out of not just 2024 but all 52 of the Lush Kitchen Subscription boxes so far!

Ooze Canister Shower Bomb from Lush

Lush’s latest collaboration is with no other than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The latest Lush Kitchen Subscription Box (July 2024) was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle themed and Lush have also released a store and online collection for those not subscribed to the Lush Kitchen.

Today I am reviewing the Ooze Canister Shower Bomb that came in the latest Lush Kitchen Subscription Box. The first thing I noticed about Ooze Canister was how big it is, it’s four, possibly five times bigger than any other shower bomb I have used from Lush before.

You’ll have to excuse my ignorance on all things TMNJ as it was a huge TV show while I was still very young, I can remember my older cousins watching it but not much else so have had to do a little research…

The Ooze Canister is turtle green and has dusted silver details. Both ends are dusted with silver lustre and so is the TCRI letters stamped in its middle. TCRI stands for Techno Cosmic Research Institute and Ooze is the mutagen chemical that transformed the baby turtles into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The Ooze Canister shower bomb shares its scent with the Bat Art bath bomb from Lush’s most recent Halloween collections. It contains Sicilian lemon oil, green Mandarin oil, rosemary oil and sage oil.

Its scent is best described as a fruity, bitter but sweet blackcurrant fragrance with an almost-medicinal, herbal edge to it.

As I mentioned earlier, the Ooze Canister shower bomb is HUGE. I rarely break up products that aren’t bubbles bars but for this one I recommend breaking it up as a little goes a long way. I say a little goes a long way a lot with Lush bubble bars and shower gels, but the Ooze Canister really does go a ridiculously long way.

I used 1/3rd of it in one shower and it was such a waste. You could easily get six showers out of this one shower bomb; Very different from the small and therefore single use shower bombs such as Beak Street and Strawberry Hill!

To use a shower bomb all you do is take it into the shower with you and hold it under the water, it will instantly foam up and expand. You then begin to cleanse yourself with the foam in the same way as you would use a shower gel.

I recommend breaking up the Ooze Canister shower bomb before getting into the shower to avoid the risk of getting the bits of it you’re not just about to use wet too.

The Ooze Canister foams up quickly and creates a rich and creamy, bright green lather. The bitter but sweet blackcurrant fragrance fills your bathroom and fragrances your skin. It’s made me really wish Lush would release a shower gel equivalent. (There was a prototype, so it technically already exists…) * wink, wink, nudge, nudge Lush! *

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Ooze Canister shower bomb, I just wish I’d known beforehand how far it went. I wholeheartedly recommend breaking it up into six pieces as such a small amount really does go such a long way!
