Edamummy Bean Bath Bomb from Lush

Year in, year out, Lush never fail to surprise me with their quirky, unique, well thought out products, the Edamummy Bean Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product released as a part of Lush’s 2025 Mother’s Day range.

Edamummy Bean is of course a play on words for edamame beans.

Weighing in at approximately 100g, it is slightly larger than the Love Letter bath bomb.

Edamummy Bean is a vibrant green, ‘snap pea’ shaped bath bomb. The two peas in its pod both have two eyes and a mouth, and they are looking at each other smiling.

This Mother’s Day, edamame-bean-shaped bath bomb was inspired by the way all of the beans in an edamame pod grow together in a safe space. It symbolises the journey of motherhood, where both parent and child grow and learn side by side, finding comfort in each other’s company.

Colour wise, the Edamummy Bean bath bomb is a very similar green to one of last year’s Mother’s Day products the Mother Nature bath bomb.

The Edamummy Bean bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: bergamot oil, geranium oil, carob resinoid and pea; Rice and hemp protein powder.

It has a brand new scent; The blend of geranium and carob resinoid replicate the smell of a toffee apple. It’s very sweet and a little smoky too. Think burnt toffee but in a good way!

The Edamummy Bean bath bomb fits snuggly in my hand and being one of Lush’s smaller bath bombs, it’s cheaper price will appeal to the masses.

Lush have been creating more and more smaller bath bombs recently, and I’m all for it! Just because they’re small doesn’t mean they will be any less magical than the bigger ones…

As soon as the Edamummy Bean bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of hissing green foam.

The Edamummy Bean bath bomb doesn’t offer much bath-art-wise being all green throughout BUT, its delicate toffee apple scent and way it softens your bath water makes it a must try.

The burnt toffee element of this bath bombs fragrance really shines through once you place it into the water, the scent fills your bathroom as it quickly dissolves away.

The last part of the bath bomb to be taken over by the water are the two peas, they are smiling and looking at each other lovingly until the very end!

It takes approximately four minutes for the Edamummy Bean bath bomb to completely dissolve, the water left behind is a bold green and makes your bath water silky smooth and incredibly hydrating.

Its scent lingers in your bathroom once you’ve pulled the plug and can still be smelt on your skin (although subtly) long after getting out of the bath too.

Overall, I absolutely adore the Edamummy Bean bath bomb, the inspiration behind it is a perfect representation of what a family should be. Simple yet beautiful products like the Edamummy bath bomb makes you realise that big, multicoloured bath bombs aren’t always the best ones.

Brain Freeze Bath Bomb from Lush

The Brain Freeze Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2024 Halloween line.

As you can see, the Brain Freeze bath bomb has been created to look like a cartoon-version of a human skull. It is mostly white but has two dark blue, deep set eye sockets.

If this isn’t your first Lush Halloween, you may recognise the shape of the Brain Freeze bath bomb. This is because it is hand-pressed in the exact same mould as the Bonehead bubble bar from the 2023 Halloween line.

Each Brain Freeze bath bomb is approximately 130g fitting snuggly in my hand.

Some of the ingredients included in the Brain Freeze bath bomb are peppermint oil, cypress oil, spearmint oil, fine sea salt and a pinch of popping candy. You’ll recognise the bath bombs scent if you’re familiar with the past Lush product, the Melomint bubble bar.

The mixture of peppermint and spearmint oils makes for a cool and refreshing bathing experience, making the ‘Brain Freeze’ name perfect for this bath bomb…

The Brain Freeze’s scent is best described as soft yet fresh, crisp and a little woody too.

I feel as if the cypress oil in it stops the peppermint from being as sharp as it could be. Which isn’t a bad thing at all, I quite enjoy the more subtle and sweeter notes that the Brain Freeze bath bomb offers.

As an incredibly sleepy person, I love a minty product that blasts you awake but at this time of year I don’t want a product to cool me down in the same way as I would in the Summer months. The subtle minty freshness of the Brain Freeze bath bomb is perfect for the cooler Autumn months as it doesn’t leave your teeth chattering but still has a little kick.

As soon as the Brain Freeze bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of dark blue foam at its top, and a lighter, sky blue foam at its bottom. The soft and gently refreshing scent slowly fills your bathroom as the water takes hold of the bath bomb.

Being honest, I did expect more bath art from the Brain Freeze bath bomb, and I also wouldn’t have known it had popping candy in it at all, had I not read the ingredients.

I have however seen other customers upload photos of bath art from this bath bomb to Instagram, they were lucky to get purple and various shades of blue swirls out of their Brain Freeze bath bomb!

The Brain Freeze bath bomb took just over six minutes to fully dissolve, leaving you with plenty of time to lay back and relax in its warm, sea-salt enriched, skin-softening, dark blue water.

The cool fresh scent is more subtle nearer the end of your bath but can still be detected on your skin for a few hours after getting out of the bath.

My skin felt like silk once I was dry and out of the bath, there was no need to moisturise with a body lotion afterwards.

I thoroughly enjoyed using the Brain Freeze bath bomb, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art but other than that it was a very enjoyable Halloween bath bomb!

Apple A Day Bath Bomb from Lush

The Apple A Day Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection.

Apple A Day is actually two bath bombs in one. One bath bomb is a red apple with wheels and the other a green caterpillar. The caterpillar is easy to slip in and of a hole in the red apple, meaning they can be used together or on their own.

Many customers have compared the design to the Apple A Day bath bomb to the caterpillar character in the bestselling children’s book by Eric Carle, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

What I really like about the Apple A Day bath bomb is its scent, but we’ll get more into that once I’ve spoken about the bath bombs ingredients…


The Apple A Day bath bomb contains bergamot oil, Brazilian orange oil, rose absolute, neroli oil, orange flower absolute and apple powder.

The Apple A Day bath bomb is a part of the So White/Once Upon A Time Lush-scent-family. I throw the favourite word around a lot when talking about Lush products but if I was given the choice of being able to only use one Lush scent for the rest of my life, I would choose the Apple A Day bath bombs scent-family without hesitation.

The Apple A Day bath bombs scent is best described as a delicious crisp apple scent; It always makes me think of a freshly sliced apple.

Other products that share its scent are the Once Upon A Time body spray, So White 2016 bath bomb, Luigi shower gel and Atom Heart Mother bath bomb.

When fixed altogether, each of the Apple A Day bath bombs are approximately a huge 230g, with it being so big and having two different parts, it wasn’t easy to get the below photo, I am surprised it came out as good as it did because I’m incredibly clumsy!

As soon as the Apple A Day bath bomb comes into contact with your bath water it begins to fizz away. It’s not a particularly foamy bath bomb and sinks almost immediately.

I am guessing the sinking is more to do with the hole in the apple bath bomb than the bath bombs heavier weight. I decided to use the apple and caterpillar together as I felt this would give me the full Apple A Day experience. I have however seen several others use the apple and caterpillar in two separate baths.

When bath bombs sink like the Apple A Day bath bomb I like to lay back and let the little stream of bubbles it creates tickle my back, there’s something about it that is so relaxing.

The Apple A Day bath bomb dissolves very quickly; It was over in just under two minutes. Apple A Day doesn’t produce any bath art, but it does create strawberry red bath water that smells just like freshly sliced apples.

The bath bombs gorgeous crisp scent hangs around your bathroom long after you’ve pulled the plug and also lasts on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day too.

Once out of the bath, my skin felt hydrated and fresh. There’s something about its crisp apple scent that leaves me feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Apple A Day bath bomb. It’s not my favourite bath bomb that Lush have made in its scent BUT it always works so well in the bath bomb format that I’d happily use any bath bomb with its scent time and time again!
