Sweet Ruby Bath Bomb from Lush

In celebration of World Bath Bomb Day 2025 and to mark Lush’s 30th birthday, Lush Cosmetics have pulled out all the stops by releasing 30 unique bath bombs; A dazzling mix of golden oldies, revamped classics, and brand-new delights.

The first one I’ll be reviewing from this exciting line-up is the Sweet Ruby Bath Bomb.

Sweet Ruby stands out immediately with its vivid hot pink colour and a simple yet bold design. Made into Lush’s traditional bath bomb shape, it has the number 30 stamped into its side, a proud nod to its place in this celebratory collection!

The Sweet Ruby bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: cream of tartar, davana oil, tonka absolute, and fir balsam resin.

It shares its scent with the Home Sweet Pineapple body balm, a scent family that was inspired by pineapple cake.

Each bath bomb is 180g each fitting snuggly in your hand.Sweet Ruby’s fragrance is unmistakably summery; Think sugary pineapple with a juicy, mouthwatering edge. It reminds me of one of my all time favourite ice lollies, the classic pineapple split. Sweet, fresh, and tropical.

Once in the bath, the Sweet Ruby bath bomb instantly begins to fizzle away starting with an explosion of vivid hot pink foam that slowly thins out.

As the Sweet Ruby bath bomb gently spins and dissolves, lighter and darker shades of pink begin to bubble out of it, painting the surface of your bathwater with delicate swirls and perfectly pink bath art, far more than I expected from such a solid, single shaded bath bomb!

As it fizzes away, the scent blossoms fully, flooding your bathroom with sweet, fruity warmth.

It’s as though a beach bar has opened right in your own home. Think sunshine, cocktails, and sand in between your toes!

The Sweet Ruby bath bomb takes a good 12 minutes to dissolve, which means you get to enjoy the pink bath art for that little bit longer. The water it leaves behind is hot pink, rich in fragrance, and gloriously soft to the touch.

Once out of the bath, I was pleased to find my skin felt smooth, refreshed, and lightly scented with that same tropical sweetness, it clung to my skin for several hours after.

All in all, the Sweet Ruby bath bomb took me by surprise. I hadn’t expected much bath art from it, but the layered pinks were a welcome treat. It has such a fun, fruity scent and in my opinion is a perfect addition to Lush’s 30th birthday collection.

I am so excited to try and review the other 29 in the collection!

Shaun The Sheep Bath Bomb from Lush

The Shaun the Sheep X Lush collaboration is finally out! In partnership with Aardman, Lush have created six fresh, fully vegan products – each of them a tribute to Shaun the Sheep and the charming characters from his world.

Today I am reviewing the Shaun The Sheep Bath Bomb, I was lucky enough to receive one in a PR box from Lush.

The Shaun the Sheep bath bomb is based on the main character and star of the show. The bath bomb is Shaun’s face, he has a playful chewing expression, a fluffy white top (his wool) and two large cartoonish eyes.

As with all Lush products, the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb is completely handmade, even the finer details of Shaun’s face and eyes are sprayed on by hand!

Each of the Shaun the Sheep bath bombs are approximately 135g, fitting snuggly in my hand.

I have yet to review any items that share their scent with the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb so cannot link any here BUT the scent-family it is a part of is Lush’s Summer Blues.

The Shaun the Sheep bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: Rose absolute, orange flower absolute, lemongrass oil, jasmine absolute, coconut milk powder and olive oil.

The Summer Blue’s scent is a stunning blend of both floral and citrus notes, the sweet orange flower and zesty lemongrass bring a refreshing and uplifting energy while the rose absolute and jasmine adds a softness.

It’s both a soothing and brightening fragrance that perfectly captures the Summer season.

With the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb being just black and white on the outside I was expecting similar bath art to the Humbug bath bomb, I was however very wrong…

As soon as the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb touches your bath water there is an explosion of white foam. It doesn’t take very long for black and grey foam to fizzle out of it too.

After about sixty seconds, the black foam stops, and suddenly grass-green foam starts to spill out of the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb instead (not what I was expecting at all!)

The bath art from the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb is incredible, it only took three minutes to fully dissolve but in that short space of time, the prettiest of white and green swirls decorated the surface of my bath water.

My photos in this review do the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb no justice at all. Underneath the pretty white and green swirls, the bath water turns an inviting shade of kiwi green.

The green water left behind feels unbelievably soft. After a good soak, my skin appears brighter and smoother, I’d go as far as to say that it has a healthy glow that lasts long after I’ve got out of the bath.

After using Shaun the Sheep, though the scent is subtle, it lingers beautifully on my skin for most of the day. 

Overall, I loved the Shaun the Sheep bath bomb. The bath art was incredible, and I hope Lush decide to bring more products out in its scent soon. I can’t wait to try the rest of the Shaun the Sheep X Lush range now!

Sleepy Bear Shower Gel from Lush

The Sleepy Bear Shower Gel is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2024 Christmas line.

I can’t quite believe how many new shower gels Lush have released this year, it’s been an incredible year for shower gels, so many have come out that I still have several to review before the year is through!

With the shower gel I am reviewing today being called Sleepy Bear, you’d expect it to share its scent with the Sleepy Bear bath bomb, it however doesn’t. The Sleepy Bear shower gel in fact shares its scent with the Deep Sleep bath bomb.

Lush already have a shower gel available that shares its scent with the Sleepy Bear bath bomb, the Sleepy shower gel. I have no idea why Lush decided to call this shower gel Sleepy Bear and not Deep Sleep, but here we are…

The Sleepy Bear shower gel contains some of the following ingredients: fine sea salt, lavender oil, chamomile oil, lavender absolute and neroli oil.

Fresh from the bottle the Sleepy Bear shower gels scent is best described as lavender rich with a touch of chamomile. The neroli oil in it is also quite noticeable although it isn’t nearly as intense as the lavender. The fragrance is very sweet and herbal.

Think of the Deep Sleep Lush-scent-family as another amazing lavender based fragrance that is available to try, if you’ve grown bored of Sleepy…

The Sleepy Bear shower gel is a sparkly darker shade of purple (not dissimilar to Goddess shower gel) it has quite a thick consistency but is very easy to get out of the bottle.

A very small amount of the Sleepy Bear shower gel goes a long way, something I wasn’t expecting considering its consistency. Mixed with the water it lathers up with minimal effort creating a violet-white foam that simply glides over your skin leaving it soft, refreshed and clean.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom, if you thought that the Sleepy shower gel was great to use before bed, then you’ll be blown away with the Sleepy Bear shower gel…

After use the Sleepy Bear scent remains on your skin for several hours. Although I still believe it’s a mostly lavender scent, on your skin the chamomile elements come through a lot stronger than straight out of the bottle.

Overall, it’s a great edition to the list of many shower gels that have been created by Lush this year; It also makes a welcome change from the Sleepy shower gel!
