Out of the 29 bath bombs in the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection, there are four special ones that can be categorised in their own little group. All of their names start with, ‘The One With…’ and each of them are mini bombshell-bath-bombs. (see photo of all four of them together in the photo below)
A bombshell bath bomb is a bath bomb with a little extra something inside. Usually, Lush make their bombshells a lot bigger, which is why I wrongly assumed that they were all just ordinary bath bombs…
I only found out that they were bombshell bath bombs after I had used one. Today I am reviewing the, The One With Orange Slices Bath Bomb.
On first appearance all of the, The One With bath bombs look quite plain when you compare them to most of the other 29 bath bombs in the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection.
The One With Orange Slices has a very uncomplicated design; It’s a light shade of orange and is the size and shape of the average Lush bath bomb. Decoration wise, it has a single dried orange slice on its top.
While I thought in a first impression that the, The One With Orange Slices bath bomb looked plain; Having used a lot of Lush products over the years I am now a little wiser than I was and always have in the back of my mind that the plainer products can quite often be the products that surprise you the most.
This is why I decided to get and give each of the, ‘The One With’ bath bombs a go.
I also have to remind myself that not everyone favours the big, bold, eye-catching, all-bells-and-whistles bath bombs. Sometimes you just want a quick and simple bath but with that little something extra.
Sometimes I fancy a bath bomb that spills out bright and colourful bath art but on the night that I decided to use The One With Orange Slices, I wasn’t fussed with bath-time theatrics, I just wanted to wind down in a nice bath.
When feeling like this, the quicker a bath bomb dissolves the better. With the, The One With bath bombs not being bath-art bath bombs and fairly quick fizzers, I decided that it was the perfect occasion to try one.
The first time that I used The One With Orange Slices bath bomb I was feeling a little down in the dumps, I find citrus scents to be quite uplifting so out of the four mini bombshell bath bombs, The One With Orange Slices was an easy pick.
The One With Orange Slices bath bomb contains dried orange slices and Brazilian orange oil.
The scent of The One With Orange Slices bath bomb is as its name and overall ingredient list suggests, a beautiful citrus orange and is described on Lush’s website as ‘Simply the zest!’.
It doesn’t share its scent with the Lava Lamp bath bomb but it has the same orange sweetness that I really missed when the Lava Lamp bath bomb was discontinued.
The One With Orange Slices scent is what I wish the Marmalade jelly bomb from 2017 had smelt like!
I did say earlier that I always expect the unexpected when I use Lush products and The One With Orange Slices bath bomb was an experience indeed. I did however have more of an idea on what was coming thanks to having already used the, The One With Lavender in bath bomb.
As soon as the bath bomb comes in to contact with the water there is a gentle hiss of light orange bubbles fizzing out of it.
It didn’t take long for the bath bomb to make a peculiar noise, it sounds just like something hollow filling up with water and air, almost like the bath bomb is gulping…
Then, what I can only describe as the bath bomb giving birth to lots of orange slices happens. Slice after slice appear as the orange bombshell bath bomb sizzles away.
After the multiple births of orange slices comes to an end, it took about one more minute for the bath bomb to fully dissolve. This last 60 seconds took the bath bombs total ‘melt time’ to three minutes exactly.
I admit, I had an idea of what was coming when I used the, The One With Orange Slices but I was still shocked at the amount of orange slices it actually had hidden inside of it!
Clean up wasn’t difficult at all, simply scoop the fruit slices out and pop them in the bin. Some people are funny about ‘bits’ in their bath but I really enjoyed the novelty of becoming a part of this orange slice mocktail.
Overall, I enjoyed using The One With Orange Slices bath bomb so much more than I thought I would, its scent is delicious, and I like how quick and easy it makes adding a little bit of luxury into a fuss free, quick yet relaxing bath time.
