Bunny Moon Bath Bomb from Lush

The Bunny Moon Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Easter line.

Weighing in at approximately 230g each, it is a little bit lighter than the similar, rabbit-head-shaped Ostara bath bomb from last year’s (2023) Easter line.

With the Bunny Moon bath bomb being 230g it’s one of the biggest in the Easter collection.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb is bright blue with bright pink ears, it’s made in the shape of a rabbit’s head and has several pink craters in it, giving it it’s moon-like-look.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb contains coconut milk powder, rice bran absolute, lime oil, benzoin resinoid and carob resinoid. It is described on Lush’s website as ‘a comforting bedtime bath.’

It has such a complex scent that I don’t even know where to begin to describe it. My nose definitely picks up on the lime in it but it’s also a little smoky too.

I must admit, it’s not the type of Lush scent that I would usually go for but I like to try everything at least once, as you never know when you’re going to come across a new favourite.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb’s scent really is an acquired taste making it a strange choice from Lush. It will most likely appeal to customers who like scents that are strong and a little out of the ordinary.

As soon as the Bunny Moon bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of blue fizzing bubbles.

It doesn’t take long for pinky-purple streaks to appear from the Bunny Moon bath bomb too.

The scent of the bath bomb really comes to life once placed into the water, it’s very, very intense. I’m always honest in my reviews and I’m not a huge fan of the scent, it’s just a little too strong and smoky for me.

Putting my thoughts on the Bunny Moon bath bombs scent to one side it does create plenty of photo worthy pink and blue bath art, my photos in this review (as always) do the bath bomb no justice at all.

The Bunny Moon bath bomb’s scent lingers in your bathroom and takes a good 10 minutes to fully dissolve.

Once you’ve pulled the plug its scent still hangs around somewhat. As for how it smells on your skin once you’re out of the bath, I’m pleased to say it’s a lot more subtle. I much prefer the scent at this potency level. Sometimes less is more.

The water left behind by the Bunny Moon bath bomb is dark blue and silky smooth thanks to the coconut milk powder.

My skin still feels silky smooth several hours after getting out of the bath. I wouldn’t say my skin feels particularly hydrated after using Bunny Moon but I’m not desperate to slather myself in a body lotion either.

Overall, I thought that the Bunny Moon bath bomb was brilliantly colourful during use, but I’d have liked to have seen it with a lighter more Spring appropriate fragrance.

I can’t help but hope that Lush bring out another bunny-head-shaped bath bomb design for next Easter too!

Henny Penny Bubble Bar from Lush

The Henny Penny Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Easter line. This shimmering, orange coloured chicken was one of the first products from this years range to catch my attention.

You may recognise the Henny Penny bubble bars scent as it also features in the Blackberry bath bomb, Bewitched bubble bar and Sultana shower gel. It’s a very popular Lush-scent-family, and one I adore.

The Henny Penny bubble bar is incredibly detailed in a cartoon-like-way, you can make out the chicken’s feathers, beak, and eyes. It’s only a small (but very pretty) chicken, weighing in at approximately 100g each.

The Henny Penny bubble bar contains both olibanum and bergamot oils. This superb blend of essential oils are perfect for helping you wind down after a long day. The olibanum offers a sweet and gentle woody aroma while the bergamot gives it a delicate floral and citrus-fruit edge.

To use the Henny Penny bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a sieve then let the running water trickle over it as I run my bath. I find this the most effective way to use single use bubbles bars like Henny Penny.

This method is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have found that this method makes the most bubbles.


My favourite thing about Lush’s bubble bars is that unlike the bath bombs they can be easily spread out over several baths.

Sadly, with Henny Penny being quite a small bubble bar I recommend using it all in one bath. Although, the choice is all yours. I suspect spreading it over 2 baths would be fine as most Lush bubble bars are good for it.

It doesn’t take long for the blanket of fluffy white bubbles to form once you run Henny Penny under the tap. Underneath the blanket of fluffy white bubbles your bath water turns a bold orange with plenty of golden sparkles.

A Henny Penny bath leaves me just as ready for bed as the Twilight or Sleepy bath bomb does (if not more!). There’s just something so magical about the combination of olibanum and bergamot oils that really helps me drift off.

My skin feels soft and well hydrated upon getting out of a Henny Penny bath, its moreish scent also remains on my skin hours after using it.

Before the Blackberry bath bomb was discontinued it was my go-to if I was ever struggling to fall asleep. As sad as I am that the Blackberry bath bomb has gone, Henny Penny made up for it, this Easter. I hope that Lush carry on creating new products in this scent as it really is gold dust for people that struggle to fall asleep like me.

Ostara Bath Bomb from Lush

The Ostara Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Easter line. At approximately 250g each, it’s HUGE. This giant, pink, rabbit-head-shaped bath bomb is big for a reason, inside of it is a hidden vibrant-yellow egg.

The Lush website states that you can either ‘pop it all in the tub to enjoy the colourful bath art or give it a tap to discover the egg inside’. I decided to use it whole as I couldn’t bring myself to crack it in half, plus you get crazy-good bath art if you use it whole…

The rabbit-head bath bomb got its name from Germanic folklore. Ostara happens to be the Goddess of Spring. Symbols of Ostara include butterflies, rabbits, and eggs.

The Ostara bath bomb shares its scent with last years (2022) super fruity, Easter product the What’s Up, Doc? shower gel.

Ingredients wise, the Ostara bath bomb contains both bergamot and lime oils and violet leaf absolute. Its scent is deliciously fruity. Primarily it’s meant to be a raspberry scent, but it has several layers to its fragrance.

The more you sniff the more you can make out. Its scent is strong, so much so, I couldn’t keep the bath bomb in my bedroom and only got the bath bomb out when I was ready to use it.

Ostara has an incredibly refreshing, mouth-watering fragrance. It’s the perfect scent for the Springtime, I can see this scent also being popular in the Summertime. I have my fingers crossed that Lush decide to release more products that share its scent in the near future.

As soon as you place the Ostara bath bomb into the water it starts to hiss, a thin pink layer of foam slowly spills out of it as its gorgeously fruity scent takes over your bathroom.

It takes a good 8 minutes before the Ostara bath bombs yellow insides make an appearance. It is at this point that the pink and yellow bath art begins.

The photos I have included in this review of the Ostara bath bomb do it no justice at all, the pretty pink and yellow patterns it created went on and on and on. It took over 15 minutes for the bath bomb to fully dissolve.

The water left behind by the Ostara bath bomb is a warm, welcoming shade of orange. Its powerful scent lasted throughout the whole bath and still lingered in the air long after the last bits of the bath water had gone down the plug hole.

The silky-smooth orange water left behind by this bath bomb are really soothing on your skin too. There is nothing subtle about the Ostara bath bombs scent and it remains on your skin for the rest of the day, long after you have got out of the bath.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Ostara bath bomb. It’s a fantastic addition to the Easter line. I hope Lush bring it back next year. As I also said earlier, I’d love to see more products come out in its scent soon too!
