The Snow Dragon Bath Bomb first became available as a part of 2022’s Winter line. I’m a little late on reviewing it but I have heard that it will be making a return this Winter (2023), so I thought I’d finally get my half-written review on it finished and published on here!
I’m a little obsessed with all thing’s dragon after the Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon series, anything Dragon inspired is right up my street. The Snow Dragon bath bomb shares its scent with the Christmas classic, Baked Alaska soap, Mermaid bath bomb and Mermaid Tail bubble bar.
Snow Dragon is a similar size to the Sleepy Bear bath bomb and is one of the cheaper Winter-bath-bomb options. It’s designed to look like a sky-blue dragon that’s laying down. Again, it is very similar to Sleepy Bear as that bath bomb is designed as laying down too.
This small but mighty, sky-blue, dragon-shaped bath bomb is decorated with a sprinkling of purple-stained coarse sea salt and also has a generous helping of popping candy in it too. If I’m being honest, I think that the Snow Dragon bath bomb resembles a crocodile more than a dragon. BUT, seeing as dragons aren’t technically real, I don’t think it really matters! 😉
The Snow Dragon bath bomb was the first of the Winter 2022 products that I used, I don’t know why I have left it so long to review but the fact I did isn’t an indication that I didn’t enjoy using the bath bomb, I in fact loved it. There were so many great bath bombs last year that I simply couldn’t keep up with the reviews.
All of Lush’s bath bombs are hand pressed and the mould for the Snow Dragon bath bomb has quite an intricate design, it’s so interesting to see how Lush’s bath bombs get more and more intricate year in, year out. The invention of the 3D printer really has opened up so many possibilities for product design at Lush. When Lush first opened its doors in 1995 I don’t think anyone could have imagined that handmade bath bombs would evolve to look this spectacular!
The Snow Dragon bath bomb contains some of the following essential oils; lemon myrtle, ylang ylang and grapefruit. Its scent is a refreshingly zingy, sharp-citrus-concoction. It is perfect for when you need an energy boost, (something we all need a bit of help with during the cold Winter months)
Lush’s website describes the Snow Dragon bath bomb as a ‘magical creature’ that’s soothing sea salt will ‘soften your skin’ while it’s refreshing citrus-based oils will ‘awaken your mind’.
It’s the perfect Winter-time pick me up, I was incredibly lucky to grab several Snow Dragon bath bombs at Lush’s online boxing-day-sale last year.
As soon as the Snow Dragon bath bomb comes into contact with your bath water a burst of blue foam erupts from it. It doesn’t take long for the popping candy to make an appearance, you are almost immediately greeted with an array of snap, crackles, and pops as the blue foam slowly turns the water a shade of pale blue.
The Snow Dragon bath bomb is quite a quick fizzer taking only 5 minutes to fully dissolve, the popping candy however carries on popping away long after the bath bomb has dissolved. The lemon and grapefruit scent really comes alive within the hot bath water; my bathroom was filled with its beautifully zingy scent long after I pulled the plug.
Snow Dragon doesn’t create any bath art, it’s redeeming features are definitely its beautiful blue colour and super energising scent.
The sea salt included in the Snow Dragon bath bomb really does make a difference to the softness of your bath water. My skin has never felt so soft after using one of the smaller sized Lush bath bombs before.
The scent lasted on my skin for a good few hours after getting out of the bath and my skin stayed soft and smooth long after I got out too.
Overall, I really enjoyed using the Snow Dragon bath bomb, so much so I bought several more after using it. It wasn’t my favourite of the bath bombs from the Winter 2022 collection but one I did thoroughly enjoy using. I am not surprised to see that the Snow Dragon bath bomb has been chosen to return for the Winter 2023 line.
