Snowy Bath Bomb from Lush

The Snowy Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Christmas line.

Snowy is a cute snowman head, it is designed to look like it has coal for a smile, nose and eyes while also wearing a blue, bath-bomb-beanie-hat with a bright white bobble on its top.

Weighing in at approximately 180g each, the Snowy bath bomb is the same size as the New Snow Fairy bath bomb from the same line.

The Snowy bath bomb contains bergamot oil, lavender oil and lemongrass oil.

It shares its scent with Lush’s Love shower gel. If you’ve been a Lush customer for quite some time, you’ll most likely recognise its scent from the Love body spray and Fizzbanger bath bomb.

The ‘Love’ scent family is a much-loved Lush fragrance that has most recently come back through the charity product, the Welcome bath bomb too.

The Love Lush-scent-family is best described as fierce. It is always the most dominant scented product in the room and is easily recognised.

My nose mostly picks up on the lemongrass and bergamot oil in it, but I’d describe it as smelling sweet with a pinch of spiciness. It’s a very sharp yet musky citrus.

As soon as the Snowy bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a gentle stream of blue and white bubbles.

The Snowy bath bomb is not fantastic bath-art-wise as it sinks BUT the blue and white colours of it are so striking together as it fizzes away. When bath bombs sink, I like to lie back and let the bubbles tickle my back, it’s so relaxing!

The Snowy bath bomb takes approximately 10 minutes to fully dissolve and turns your bath water a bold and very bright shade of sky blue. With all the grey skies lately, it’s really made me miss the Summer…

I found the waters left behind by the Snowy bath bomb really warming on your skin. The scent remains in your bathroom (although not as strongly) long after you pull the plug too.

The ‘Love’ scent can also still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath and my skin still felt soft and appeared brighter the next day after using it.

I really enjoyed using the Snowy bath bomb, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art out of it but other than that I think it’s the perfect little Christmas time bath bomb.

Snowman Bomb Bomb Bath Bomb from Lush

Snowman Bomb Bomb Bath Bomb

I have a confession, being honest as always I admit that I have left the reviews of the 3 different ‘bomb bomb’ bath bombs until last as I see them as more of a novelty product more than anything, they have also proven incredibly difficult to photograph!

Out of the 3 ‘bomb bombs’ available I think the Snowman is probably my favourite because it has such a simple scent and is the most recognisable character of the 3.

This year there are 3 Bomb Bombs. The idea behind them is that you get 2 bath bombs in one. One of the bath bombs is its head the other is its body, hence the ‘bomb bomb’.

Ingredients wise the Snowman bomb doesn’t have much in it at all. Apart from the regular bath bomb ingredients the only essential oil in it is spearmint. At first I thought its scent was similar to the One Eskimo bubble bar and then after another sniff I wondered if it was closer or the same as the Christingle body conditioner.

It however doesn’t share a scent with any other Lush product, it’s just pure spearmint through and through.

The Snowman Bomb Bomb Bath Bomb was the first of the 3 bomb bombs that I used. I decided to use the head and body of the Snowman in just the one bath (see photo below) some people have however spread their Snowman bomb out over 2 baths, one day using the head and another day using its body. There’s no right or wrong way to use it, the choice is entirely yours – savour it or in my case, over indulge!

As soon as Snowman bomb is placed in the water it begins to hiss, sending blue and white bubbly foam across the waters surface. Unfortunately the Snowman bomb was a very fast fizzer. Considering I used both of the bath bombs together I was rather disappointed at how quickly they both disappeared. Some people do enjoy the fast fizzing bath bombs though as it means they can sit back and relax sooner.

There wasn’t much chance of getting any bath art shots, I did however capture the Snowman looking at me as he melted away leaving nothing but his sweet vegan eyeballs. (see photo below). The water left behind was a cloudy shade of blue.

Overall I feel I have really struggled to put a positive spin on this bath bomb, it’s cute and I love its simplistic and refreshing scent but I just can’t help but think that I’d have rather spent my money on a minty old-school Christmas Lush bath bomb such as Abombinaball or Thundersnow.

Pushing my disappointment aside, the Snowman bomb did leave my skin feeling soft and well nourished. Its scent didn’t however last on my skin once I was out of the bath which was another let down.

Out of the 3 bomb bombs I believe the Snowman is probably the best. I won’t be buying any of the bomb bombs again but I am glad I gave them all a go once. – I’ll make sure to get the other 2 bomb bombs reviewed before Christmas!
