The Love Potion Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Valentine’s Day line.
Weighing in at approximately 75g each, the Love Potion bath bomb is even smaller than the Love Letter bath bomb from the same line.
Through my love of Lush and their world-famous bath bombs, I have however learnt that bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. I never judge a bath bomb on first look as the plainer ones can often give you the best of surprises during use.
The Love Potion is just that, a bath bomb designed to resemble a mini potion bottle. The Love Potion bath bomb is not to be confused with the Magic Potion bath bomb, both are very different, the only thing they have in common are their potion names.
This dark violet, magical potion shaped bottle is decorated with a sprinkling of white and light pink miniature love hearts.
The Love Potion bath bomb contains Sicilian red Mandarin oil, almond essential oil, orris root powder, wafer paper, candy hearts and a generous helping of popping candy.
Lush’s website explains why some of the ingredients in the Love Potion were chosen; For example, orris root powder is supposedly known for its magical use of finding and holding onto love… If you believe in the power of the orris root, it’s definitely worth a try!
The Love Potion bath bomb’s scent is a powdery, fruity-sweet mixture, on first sniff I can smell a candy-like blend of strawberry and raspberry. Strangely, it actually really reminds me of one of my childhood toys, a scented My Little Pony.
As soon as the Love Potion bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a hiss of violet coloured foam with flecks of blue in. The popping candy kicks in almost immediately, crackling away as the bath bomb floats upon the bath water’s surface.
The Love Potion bath bomb doesn’t offer anything too artsy bath-art-wise, but thanks to the popping candy and violet foam that spills out of it, it does put on a beautiful show.
The small pink and white candy hearts slowly break away from the bath bomb dropping to the bottom of the bath before completely dissolving.
Amazingly, the Love Potion bath bomb took just over 10 minutes to fully dissolve, I was not expecting this considering its smaller than average size.
I didn’t realise until after I had used the Love Potion bath bomb that it also has the same silky-soft, wafer paper bits in that you’ll be familiar with if you have ever used the Dragon’s Egg bath bomb.
I found the dark violet waters left behind by the Love Potion bath bomb to be incredibly soft, a good soak in its waters left my skin silky-smooth and a lot less dry. It’s perfect for dry Winter skin but I can also see it working well in warmer months too because of its fruity fragrance.
Unfortunately, the Love Potion scent didn’t remain on my skin for very long at all but how soft it made my skin lasted right into the following day.
Overall, I think that the Love Potion bath bomb is another amazing addition to the Valentine’s Day line, I cannot recommend it enough, it may be small, but it is one of the best bath bombs from this year’s range, it has made a lasting impression on me!
