Ochre Bath Bomb from Lush

Previously known as the Uluru bath bomb The newly named Ochre Bath Bomb is an orange and dusky pink bath bomb designed in a very similar way to the Frozen bath bomb.

It is mostly orange but has a dusky pink belt around its middle (the same way that the Frozen bath bomb is mostly light blue with a dark blue belt.)

The colours of this bath bomb have been very cleverly selected for showcasing a kaleidoscope of Australian sunset colours; Oranges, yellows, pinks, and corals.

The Ochre bath bomb has a wonderful mix of summery ingredients, Brazilian orange, sandalwood, and lemon myrtle oils to name just a few. Scent wise the Ochre bath bomb is quite literally Summer in bath bomb form. It is perfect for anyone missing the sunshine, especially at this time of year.

At the time of writing this review, the Ochre bath bomb last appeared in January 2024’s ‘Rise & Shine’ Lush Kitchen subscription box BUT under its old name, it used to feature on the weekly Lush Kitchen menu quite regularly.

The Ochre bath bomb is a gloriously rich, citrus-scented product. If you have read any of my previous Lush reviews, you’ll know that I tend to favour the citrus products as I feel they are an easy way to add a spring to your step.

The Ochre bath bomb on its scent alone is a citrus fans dream product and once it gets plonked into your bath water the scent just gets better and better!

The Ochre bath bomb isn’t great bath art wise BUT what it lacks in bath art, it well makes up for with its zingy scent.

Once placed in the water the Ochre bath bombs scent totally dominates the bathroom and leaves you feeling refreshed and content.

Packed with a shed load of coarse-sea-salt, the Ochre bath bomb is not only an excellent product for softening and hydrating your skin but also great for tired and sore muscles too.

The Ochre bath bomb is quite a fast fizzer which isn’t a negative, the fact it dissolves so quickly in the water means that I can lay back and relax a lot quicker than I can when using other bath bombs, it also means I get a little longer to soak in the beautiful Ochre bath water too.

Up against its shower gel equivalent the Uluru shower gel, the Ochre bath bomb is far more moisturising for your skin; Both leave your skin appearing brighter and feeling softer but the bath bomb is definitely the better option for dehydrated skin.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Ochre bath bomb, I was a little disappointed with the lack of bath art it created but its scent and how it makes my skin feel after using it well makes up for there not being any.

Passion Shower Gel from Lush

The Passion Shower Gel was first released by Lush as a part of their 2024 Valentine’s Day line. Its name is very similar to the recently released Lush Kitchen exclusive, Passion Fruit exfoliating shower gel but it is only their names that are similar. Both are very different shower products.

The Passion shower gel is described on Lush’s website as a ‘lustrous shower gel’ that is fit to go hand in hand with ‘a love fuelled by passion and commitment’. 

It is a darker shade of rose-red and is shimmery through-out in an almost pearlescent way. Quite often with Lush shower gels, the ones with added sparkle begin to separate quickly, with all the shimmer collecting at the bottom of the bottle; BUT I have heard that Passion is a new type of shower-gel-formula that won’t separate.

I haven’t had it long enough to confirm but so far, so good!

The Passion shower gel contains a long list of ingredients, some of them being ingredients often associated with romance; There’s an infusion of red rose petals, fresh passion fruit, buchu oil, fine sea salt, litsea cubeba oil as well as sweet wild orange oil.

Passion shares its scent with several recently released Lush products, the Cyclops bubble bar, SpongeBob bath bomb and Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub just to name a few.

The best way to describe the Passion shower gel’s scent is a rich passion fruit like fragrance, I have heard several customers say that with it being so fruity, it would also work well as a Summer-time product. Maybe a Summer perfume with the same fragrance would sell well, Lush?

Consistency-wise the Passion shower gel is lovely and thick but also super-silky, something I’m not used to from Lush shower gels.

The Passion shower gel lathers up quickly and a very small amount goes an incredibly long way. A blob the size of a one-pound coin is more than enough to wash your whole body.

Its scent really does come alive when combined with the hot water and steam from your shower and it feels incredible on your skin.

Unfortunately the shower gels scent doesn’t stay on your skin for very long but I couldn’t help but notice how soft my skin was after using it, it feels like I’ve used a dusting powder, it’s so silky to touch! I wouldn’t say it was a particularly hydrating shower gel, but it doesn’t dry out my skin either.

Overall, I am very impressed with the Passion shower gel and hope to grab an extra bottle before the 2024 Valentine’s Day line retires as I think it would be especially fabulous to use in the Summer!

Snowy Bath Bomb from Lush

The Snowy Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Christmas line.

Snowy is a cute snowman head, it is designed to look like it has coal for a smile, nose and eyes while also wearing a blue, bath-bomb-beanie-hat with a bright white bobble on its top.

Weighing in at approximately 180g each, the Snowy bath bomb is the same size as the New Snow Fairy bath bomb from the same line.

The Snowy bath bomb contains bergamot oil, lavender oil and lemongrass oil.

It shares its scent with Lush’s Love shower gel. If you’ve been a Lush customer for quite some time, you’ll most likely recognise its scent from the Love body spray and Fizzbanger bath bomb.

The ‘Love’ scent family is a much-loved Lush fragrance that has most recently come back through the charity product, the Welcome bath bomb too.

The Love Lush-scent-family is best described as fierce. It is always the most dominant scented product in the room and is easily recognised.

My nose mostly picks up on the lemongrass and bergamot oil in it, but I’d describe it as smelling sweet with a pinch of spiciness. It’s a very sharp yet musky citrus.

As soon as the Snowy bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a gentle stream of blue and white bubbles.

The Snowy bath bomb is not fantastic bath-art-wise as it sinks BUT the blue and white colours of it are so striking together as it fizzes away. When bath bombs sink, I like to lie back and let the bubbles tickle my back, it’s so relaxing!

The Snowy bath bomb takes approximately 10 minutes to fully dissolve and turns your bath water a bold and very bright shade of sky blue. With all the grey skies lately, it’s really made me miss the Summer…

I found the waters left behind by the Snowy bath bomb really warming on your skin. The scent remains in your bathroom (although not as strongly) long after you pull the plug too.

The ‘Love’ scent can also still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath and my skin still felt soft and appeared brighter the next day after using it.

I really enjoyed using the Snowy bath bomb, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art out of it but other than that I think it’s the perfect little Christmas time bath bomb.
