The One With Lemon Oil In Bath Bomb from Lush

Out of the 29 bath bombs in the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection, there are four special ones that can be categorised in their own little group. All of their names start with, ‘The One With’ and each of them are mini bombshell-bath-bombs. (see photo of all four of them together in the photo below)

A bombshell bath bomb is a bath bomb with a little extra something inside. Usually, Lush make their bombshells a lot bigger, which is why I wrongly assumed that the four ‘The One With’ bombshells, were all just ordinary bath bombs…

I only found out that they were bombshell bath bombs after I had used one.

Today I am reviewing the, The One With Lemon Oil In Bath Bomb. On first appearance all of the, The One With bath bombs look quite plain when you compare them to most of the other 29 bath bombs in the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection.

The One With Lemon Oil In has a very uncomplicated design; It’s a light shade of yellow and is the size and shape of the average Lush bath bomb. Decoration wise, it has a single dried lemon slice on its top.

While I thought on first impression that the, The One With Lemon Oil In bath bomb looked plain; Having used a lot of Lush products over the years I am now a little wiser than I was and always have in the back of my mind that the plainer products can quite often be the products that surprise you the most.

This is why I decided to get and give each of the, ‘The One With’ bath bombs a go.

I also have to remind myself that not everyone favours the big, bold, eye-catching, all-bells-and-whistles bath bombs. Sometimes you just want a quick and simple bath but with that little something extra.

When you’re not looking to have a super fancy bath, ‘The One With’ bath bombs are the perfect choice. There’s no over-the-top bath-time theatrics, you simply throw it into the water then lay back and relax.

Different bath bombs have different ingredients in, and each ingredient can have a different effect on you.

I find citrus based products to be quite uplifting so out of the four mini bombshell bath bombs, The One With Lemon Oil In and The One With Orange Slices should both be good choices if you’re looking for a pick-me-up.

The One With Lemon Oil In contains dried lemon slices and Sicilian lemon oil.

The scent of The One With Lemon Oil In bath bomb is as its name and overall ingredient list suggests, lemony. It is described on Lush’s website as a refreshing sweet lemon.

It doesn’t share its scent with any other Lush product and in comparison, to the other ‘The One With’ bath bombs scents, it is quite a weak one. I was a little surprised at how light of a scent it had but thought its scent may get stronger during use.

The One With Lemon Oil In was the third of the, ‘The One With’ bath bombs that I tried. The One With Lavender was the first. I wrote in my The One With Lavender review how surprised I was when I first used it because of the amount of lavender that was hidden inside of it.

I again was just as surprised when the, The One With Orange Slices bath bomb practically gave birth to a whole orange once placed into the water. With the lemon equivalent being called The One With Lemon Oil In (no mention of slices) I wasn’t expecting anything other than the bath bomb being a little oiler than normal.

You’d be a fool to not always expect the unexpected when using Lush products yet, with The One With Lemon Oil In being the third of the ‘The One With’ bath bombs I tried, I was quietly confident that I knew what was coming. Spoiler alert… I didn’t.

As soon as the, The One With Lemon Oil In comes into contact with water there’s an instant explosion. I managed to get the photo above within the first three seconds of using the bath bomb, after that, like the, The One With Orange Slices bath bomb, the One With Lemon Oil In also gave birth to what felt like a whole lemon worth of lemon slices; So much for it being only lemon oil.

Lush had successfully tricked me again!

The One With Lemon Oil In had completely dissolved in less than a minute. Leaving several lemon slices floating around the water’s surface. The water turns an almost glowing bright yellow colour.

The only negative thing I can pinpoint with the, The One With Lemon Oil In bath bomb is how weak its scent is. I thought it may have got a little stronger when in use but if anything, I couldn’t smell anything at all by the time it had fully dissolved.

I didn’t feel nearly as refreshed with this bath bomb as I did the, The One With Orange Slices but my skin did feel soft and appeared brighter.

Clean up wasn’t difficult at all, simply scoop the fruit slices out and pop them in the bin. Some people are funny about ‘bits’ in their bath but I really enjoy the novelty of fruit floating around me, I much prefer it to flowers and petals!

Overall, I enjoyed using The One With Lemon Oil In bath bomb, but I’d have liked its scent to be a little stronger.

Peace, Love and Pizza Bath Bomb from Lush

Lush’s latest collaboration with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out at the start of July 2024 and has been flying off the shelves.

The limited edition TMNT x Lush collaboration included a TMNT themed Lush Kitchen Subscription Box and also a collection of online and in store products too.

Today I’ll be reviewing the Peace, Love and Pizza Bath Bomb that is a part of the in store and online items.

I was lucky enough to receive a Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb in a surprise box sent from Lush. The excitement of receiving a PR package from Lush never gets old, I am so very grateful every time, thank you, Lush!


The Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb is made in the shape of a slice of pizza. It is green, purple and has a yellow bath melt cheese and a red soap ‘soapperoni’ topping. If you’re lucky enough to live near a store then you’d have seen that the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bombs are all displayed in a TMNT pizza box too.

Each of the bath bombs are approximately 135g each so quite big. Each of the slices fits perfectly in my hand.

The Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb contains fairtrade organic mango butter, fresh garlic infusion, lemon grass oil, basil oil, oregano oil, benzoin resinoid, tonka absolute, vanilla absolute, rapeseed oil, coconut oil, cupuaçu butter, organic illipe butter, extra virgin coconut oil, glycerine and paprika oleoresin.

On paper, it doesn’t sound like something you’d want to really bathe in, but it smells lovely. It’s a very loose version of the smell of pizza, you get herbal vibes but also fruity notes too. Pineapple apparently belongs on TMNT pizza!

As the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb comes in to contact with your bath water there is a huge hiss as green foam starts to ooze out of it. After a minute, purple streaks come out of it too. The foam then starts to thin out, slowly turning your bath water green.

The bath bombs scent isn’t at all in-your-face or overpowering, it’s sweet and gentle. When I first read the list of this bath bombs ingredients, I wasn’t sure that I’d like it as a cosmetic product at all, garlic? basil? oregano? It however all strangely works.

Lush are forever proving me wrong. It just goes to show that simply listing an items ingredients list, doesn’t ever completely describe the final scent of a Lush product.

After about six or seven minutes the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb is completely taken over by the water.

It didn’t create very much bath art but the red ‘soapperoni’ part had me very entertained. I grabbed it to lather it up and it looked like I had smeared myself in the blood of my enemies, I didn’t include a photo in this review but if you want to see it, drop me a message…

Fortunately, the red came off as soon as I placed my hands back into the water. My favourite thing about the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb however has to be how it left my skin feeling. 

My skin has never felt so soft after such a short soak. It seems as if Lush got the bath bomb and melt ratio perfect in the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb.

Overall, I loved the Peace, Love and Pizza bath bomb. I said earlier that I wasn’t expecting to like it much as the ingredient list was a little crazy, but it was lovely and is a good example of why I like to try every product at least once!

Four Brothers Bath Bomb from Lush

Lush’s latest collaboration with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is finally out online and in stores and I couldn’t be any more excited!

The limited edition TMNT x Lush collaboration included a TMNT themed Lush Kitchen Subscription Box and also a collection of online and in store products too.

Today I’ll be reviewing the Four Brothers Bath Bomb which happens to be the only TMNT item that was in both the Lush Kitchen Subscription Box and in stores and online to purchase separately.

I was lucky enough to receive a Four Brothers bath bomb in a surprise box sent from Lush. The excitement of receiving a PR package from Lush never gets old, I am so very grateful every time, thank you, Lush!

The Four Brothers bath bomb comes in four different colours and are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles heads. Much like their characters, the bath bomb is all green apart from their eye masks.

The turtles head with the red mask is the character Raphael, blue is Leonardo, purple is Donatello and the orange (the one I have pictured in this review) is Michelangelo.

Each of the bath bombs are approximately 440g each, which I believe may be the biggest bath bomb Lush have ever released?!!

The best thing about each of these bath bombs is that a different soap (made into the shape of the Ninja Turtles favourite things) is hidden inside of them!

The Four Brothers bath bomb contains fresh oregano infusion, rapeseed oil, coconut oil, glycerine, lemongrass oil, bergamot oil and organic virgin coconut oil.

It shares its scent with the, Avobath bath bomb. Its scent is super refreshing, citrus-rich and full of zing. Just a quick whiff of it is enough to give you a little boost of energy.

It’s quite a powerful fragrance and one I often crave when I’m feeling a bit sluggish and low on energy.

I always find Lush products that are made into characters very hard to use. With the Four Brothers bath bomb being the face of a character loved by so many people around the world, it felt very strange to use and never see again… BUT, I just kept thinking about the hidden soap inside that I would never see if I didn’t use it. 😏

As the Four Brothers bath bomb comes in to contact with your bath water there is a huge hiss as green foam starts to ooze out of it. After a minute, the foam starts to thin out but is still a bright and bold green colour.

The lemongrass and bergamot in the Four Brothers bath bomb really come through once the bath bomb is in the hot water, it’s a really uplifting fragrance so perfect to use first thing in the morning or for a boost of energy in the afternoon or before a night out.

Once the Four Brothers bath bomb is taken over by the water it starts to spin, the bath bombs mask colour then starts to spill out of the bath bomb too. For me, with the ‘Mikey’ Four Brothers bath bomb, I got orange and green bath art swirls.

With the orange mask part of the bath bomb being so small in comparison to the rest of it being all green, I wasn’t expecting much bath art so was pleasantly surprised to see so much orange.

After just under ten minutes the bath bomb has fully dissolved, the water left behind is so incredibly green. It’s also silky soft thanks to the coconut oil in it.

The water left my skin feeling soft and well hydrated long after getting out of the bath too because of the glycerine.

Overall, I loved the Four Brothers bath bomb, I was so busy watching the orange and green swirls coming out of it that I completely forgot about the soap inside of it.

My soap was the orange pizza slice. (see photo above). Talking about the soap as a separate product, I don’t think I’ve ever had such a strongly fragranced soap from Lush before.

I have left the soap on the side near my bath and every time I go past it, I am hit with the gorgeous Avobath scent. I’ve used it several times too and there’s still no sign of it getting any smaller or worn down.

The Four Brothers bath bomb has left me so excited to review the rest of the TMNT x Lush line!
