NEW Snow Fairy Bath Bomb from Lush

The Snow Fairy Bath Bomb is back again, it has however had a makeover. The old, half pink, half white version with the blue and white snowflakes on has long gone, it has been replaced with a bright pink bath bomb with crisp-white swirls!

The Snow Fairy scent family dominates Lush’s Christmas line every Winter and this year is no exception. Do I prefer the older version of it? I wouldn’t go as far as to say that I miss it, I like the uncomplicatedness of the new look Snow Fairy bath bomb, it’s weird that something less intricate can be more desirable.

All of Lush’s products are handmade, there’s something about the new Snow Fairy bath bomb that looks more handmade than the older version. I find with all Lush products, the more handmade the product looks the more ‘Lush charm’ it has.

Weighing in at approximately 180g the new Snow Fairy bath bomb is a little bit smaller than the standard Lush bath bombs such as Intergalactic and Twilight which are 200g each, although you wouldn’t know it just by looking at it.

My first experience with the Snow Fairy scent was through the shower gel many years ago. The Snow Fairy scent is best described as a sweet blend of candy floss and bubble gum.

I don’t always favour the super-sweet-scented Lush products, HOWEVER, with the Snow Fairy scent featuring so heavily in so many of Lush’s best-selling products it’s impossible to avoid, especially in the Winter.

Over the years I have warmed to the scent somewhat. The fact that every Snow Fairy item is a bright and glorious hot pink (my favourite colour) really helps me warm to each product too! 😉

Funnily enough, the Snow Fairy bath bomb isn’t the only bath bomb from this Winters’ Christmas line that has the Snow Fairy scent, we have the Groovy Fairy bath bomb and Snow Fairy Lights bath bomb too.

As soon as the Snow Fairy bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of hot pink foam. It slowly bobs around your bath spitting out pink and white bubbles as it charges around, floating upon the surface of the water.

I am always honest in my reviews, and I must admit that I was expecting a lot more from the Snow Fairy bath bomb bath-art-wise. It had the potential with the white and pinks, but it just didn’t take off.

It’s not fantastic bath-art-wise but it does put on a beautiful show. As the bath bomb dissolves, the water slowly turns a bright and sparkly pink. Swirling the water around with my hand really showed off how sparkly it was.

The Snow Fairy bath bomb took well over 10 minutes to fully dissolve. Its scent is sweet and strong right up until the last drop of it goes down the plug hole.

I found the water that the Snow Fairy bath bomb left behind to be soft on the skin and incredibly refreshing. Its sweet, bubblegum-rich scent can still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath too. I wouldn’t say it was the most hydrating of bath bombs, BUT my skin wasn’t any dryer than normal after using it.

I did really enjoy the new design of the Snow Fairy bath bomb however I would have liked to have seen more bath art out of it, maybe I’m just being fussy though!

Bonehead Bubble Bar from Lush

The Bonehead Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Halloween line. Designed to look like a playful and not-at-all-scary skull with googly, rattling around eyes, it is described on Lush’s website as a ‘numbskull bringing foolish fun’ to bath time.

If you’ve been a Lush customer for a while, you are more than likely to recognise the Bonehead bubble bars scent as it also features in the past Lush products the Snowman Bomb Bomb and Polar Bear Plunge bubble bar.

Each Bonehead bubble bar weighs in at approximately 160g which is just 10g lighter than the Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar (another bubble bar from the 2023 Halloween line) it’s a good-sized bubble bar that fits snuggly in my hand.

The Bonehead bubble bar contains a generous amount of cooling spearmint oil and hidden inside of it is loose, blue-tinted fine sea salt.

The Bonehead’s scent is incredibly refreshing, it’s so minty-fresh that it awakens all of my senses. Giving it a good sniff makes my nose tingle!

Minty products rarely feature in the Lush Halloween lines, so I was very excited to see Boneheads list of ingredients.

To use the Bonehead bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a sieve and let the running bath-water trickle over it. I find this the most effective way to use Lush’s single use bubble bars.

This method is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have found that this method makes the most bubbles.

The one thing that I love about Lush’s bubble bars over their bath bombs is that they can be easily spread out over several baths. With Bonehead being quite a big bubble bar, you can easily get 2 (possibly 3) heavily bubbled bubble baths out of it.

It’s very good value for money as a very small amount goes an incredibly long way, I’ve not seen a bubble bar from Lush with this much bubble potential for quite some time!

Splitting the Bonehead bubble bar into several different baths didn’t compromise on its scent-quality at all and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the blanket of fluffy white bubbles started to form while running my bath. Underneath the blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns a milky white.

A Bonehead bubble-bar-bath leaves your skin feeling silky-smooth and perfectly hydrated. A lot of the thanks for this is down its sea-salt addition. Its minty scent lasts on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day after bathing in it too, something that minty scented products don’t always manage to achieve.

Overall, I am glad Lush released this. It’s nice to try something a little different from the spicy and pumpkin based products that you ordinarily associate this time of year with.

Candy Corn Lip Scrub from Lush

The main ingredient in all of Lush’s lip scrubs is caster sugar. To this day I am still lost for words that such a simple and natural mix of ingredients can do such a great job at exfoliating. It really does make me question why other cosmetic companies ever actively chose to use (the now illegal) micro-plastics in their exfoliation products.

Lush’s lip scrubs are ridiculously underrated, if you’re on the fence about giving them a go I promise you, you will not be disappointed (which ever one you choose to go with!) Luckily for us, Lush have released not 1, but 2 new lip scrubs for Halloween 2023!

Today I am going to be reviewing the Candy Corn Lip Scrub. I use Lush lip scrubs almost every day so whenever a new one comes out, I always make sure I grab a pot.

Using Lush lip scrubs requires a minimum amount of effort, and they cover everything your lips need to always look and feel their best. They are the perfect product to exfoliate dry or chapped lips and are also very good at softening and hydrating them at the same time. Exfoliating your lips has so many benefits and with all thanks to Lush, it has never been easier to do.

As well as caster sugar, the Candy Corn lip scrub also contains organic jojoba oil, Brazilian orange oil, rose oil, benzoin resinoid, sesame seed absolute, fir balsam resinoid and paprika oleoresin.

Unlike the Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub (the other lip scrub from the 2023 Halloween line) Candy Corn is a brand-new Lush scent that hasn’t featured in any other Lush product before now.

The one question I have been asked over and over about the Candy Corn lip scrub is whether it smells and tastes like the sugary sweet of the same name, Candy Corn. I have personally never tried the sweet so I can’t say for sure. I have however heard others say they are very alike.

Lush’s lip scrubs are obviously not meant to be eaten; BUT if a little amount of it does accidently end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips, you don’t need to worry.

The Candy Corn lip scrub is a gloriously bright shade of orange. Ordinarily, I tend to favour the lighter or more natural to actual lip-colour lip scrubs over the brightly coloured ones because I find that the highly pigmented scrubs can sometimes (after use) leave your lips with a slight tinge of whatever colour the lip scrub is. I am however pleased to report that during use, I haven’t had any colour transfer from the Candy Corn lip scrub at all.

Even though I’m usually not a huge fan of the Lush products that are super sweet, I do actually like the smell/taste of the Candy Corn lip scrub. It isn’t as sweet as I feared, in fact, the most dominant ingredient in it scent/taste wise is probably the Brazilian orange oil.

If I had to choose a favourite out of the 2 Halloween 2023 Lush lip scrubs, I’d pick the Candy Corn lip scrub. A little amount of it goes a long way, my lips feel smoother with little to no effort, and I also find the formula quite hydrating. I do recommend a quick dab of lip balm after using it though, just to add an extra layer of hydration.

Overall, I love the Candy Corn lip scrub, when you use lip scrubs as much as I do it’s very easy to grow bored of one scent/taste so new ones make things a little less boring. With the Candy Corn lip scrub being so orange-led I could actually see it working well as a Summer product too!
