The, The Magic of Christmas Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2024 Christmas line and is not to be confused with a previous product that shares its name the, The Magic of Christmas reusable bubble bar.
Design wise, the, The Magic of Christmas bubble bar looks and is made in the exact same way as the year round best-selling bubble bars, Brightside, The Comforter and Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds.
Lush get the different coloured bits of bubble-bar-dough then roll them together. The miniature sized ones are then squished from the top, a bit like you would do when laying cookies out on their baking tray. The larger sized bubbles are made a little differently, they are rolled into a big sausage shape and then chopped into slices (See above photo)
Each of these methods is how Lush get the beautiful bubble bar to look so perfectly swirly.
You can only buy the full sized The Magic of Christmas bubble bars individually, but I believe that the smaller sized ones are available in some of the Christmas giftsets.
The Magic of Christmas bubble bar is made from two striking colours: red and gold. Much like the Mother Christmas bath bomb from the same Winter collection, its top layer is decorated with a delicate sprinkling of dissolvable stars.
If you’ve read any of my reviews before, you’ll know how much I love when Lush adds the dissolvable stars to their products. They may only be a small detail, but I feel they make such a difference.
The striking red and gold parts of the bubble bar spiral around each other, swirling in an almost hypnotising way. I love how the colours clash so well with each other. If you are familiar with the Cinnamon Roll bubble bar, both that and The Magic of Christmas look very similar to each other.
At approximately 200g each, the full sized The Magic of Christmas bubble bars are one of Lush’s bigger bubble bars currently available.
The Magic of Christmas bubble bar contains some of the following ingredients: cinnamon leaf oil, grapefruit oil, neroli oil, carob resinoid and ginger oil.
When I first heard about this version of the, The Magic of Christmas bubble bar, I mistakenly assumed it would share the same scent as the older reusable bubble bar of the same name. Its scent is however brand new.
The, The Magic of Christmas bubble bar’s scent is best described as a warm, subtly spicy blend of cinnamon and ginger. It also has a layer of zest that comes from the grapefruit. This zesty layer softens the ginger’s intensity making it more sweet than spicy.
To use the non-reusable bubble bars like The Magic of Christmas, I break them up then stick the bubble bar pieces into a sieve and let the running-tap spill over it (see above photo).
This method is the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have worked out that it is the best way to get the most out of your bubble bar, bubble wise.
One of the best things about The, The Magic of Christmas bubble bar is just how far it goes.
You can get (at the very least) four baths out of just the one The Magic of Christmas bubble bar without compromising on its scent quality and bubble amount. If you did however feel like you wanted to use more of it per bath, you can always add more, you are in charge after all!
The blanket of fluffy white bubbles starts to grow as soon as you place the broken-up pieces of The, The Magic of Christmas Bubble Bar under the running tap.
Underneath the fast-building blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns bright orangey-red. The water underneath the bubbles is especially soft and in turn, left my skin feeling even softer once I was out of the bath, even my hands felt smoother!
The scent lasted throughout the bath and lingered in the air long after pulling the plug. My husband actually asked me what I had used when we came up stairs to go to bed because he thought it smelt delicious.
My skin was also left fragranced although, it was very subtle for a product that has cinnamon in. Normally anything with cinnamon in clings to my skin and is much stronger.
Overall, I really enjoyed using The, The Magic of Christmas bubble bar and plan on getting an extra one before the 2024 Christmas line retires.
I have my fingers crossed that The Magic of Christmas isn’t one of Lush’s many one-hit-wonder-products as I think it’s a wonderful edition to the Lush Winter line!
