#AD | Celebrating The Good Times With A Bath Bomb | Lush World Bath Bomb Day Range Part One

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! The lovely people at Lush sent me some of the brand new bath bombs that are a part of the brand new World Bath Bomb Day Range from Lush and I thought that today I'd talk to you all about them. 

Lush have released 30 bath bombs to celebrate 30 years of Lush. As this range includes 30 bath bombs I will slowly be dropping blog posts discussing the bath bombs just as I can't fit 30 bath bombs into one blog post.

A large light brown square box with thank you in black font on the top of it with a golden bath bomb in the shape of 30 at the back standing tall next to a orange spherical bath bomb resembling a orange with a dark orange sticker with 30 on next to a green and white shed shaped bath bomb with a spherical light brown bath bomb in front with a quadrant on the top coated in dark brown oil and another quadrant on the top with three coffee beans in a triangular formation next to a light beige spherical bath bomb with light brown almonds on top on a bright background

Celebrate 30 

You can't turn thirty and not celebrate! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Alcohol Denat, Cornstarch, Limonene, Perfume, Brazilian Orange Oil, Lime Oil, Water (Aqua), Titanium Dioxide, Corn Protein, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Tin Oxide, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Linalool, Colour 45430:1, Colour 45410, Colour 42053, Colour 15510, Colour 17200, Colour 42090, Colour 77491.

As a part of Lush's World Bath Bomb Day 2025 Range, Lush has released Celebrate 30. A bath bomb that epitomises celebrating the good times! Celebrate 30 contains Brazilian Orange and Lime Oils that blend together to create a truly uplifting scent. If you have tried out Golden Wonder Bath Bomb, Catch Me If You Can Bath Bomb or Crash Shower Jelly then this shares the same scent as them. 

I love anything citrus scented  (I even love eating Lemons just as they are) and I love how this bath bomb looks like a 30 that you'd get on top of a glorious Birthday Cake and this screams celebration! This bath bomb is definitely a great one for those who love glitter or for those who want a luxurious bath bomb before going out to celebrate a birthday like Lush's 30 or a great night out. 

We Put The Whole Fruit In 

Lacking some Vitamin C? Enjoy a bath bomb! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Organic Sweet Orange Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil, Water (Aqua), Orange Peel Powder, Titanium Dioxide, Cornstarch, Gardenia Extract, Dipropylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Citral, Citronellol, Limonene, Linalool, Perfume, Colour 15510, Colour 47005:1, Colour 15985:1, Colour 19140:1, Colour 14700, Colour 47005, Colour 15850:1, Colour 77491, Colour 42090.

Lush are all about showcasing the use of fresh fruit in their products so for this World Bath Bomb Day Range they've done just that. 

We Put The Whole Fruit In is a bath bomb that doesn't just look like a beautiful Orange but is a bath bomb that contains all of the Orange! This bath bomb contains three types of Orange! Sweet Orange Oil, Brazilian Orange Oil and Orange Peel Powder! These three types of Orange blend together to create an Orange scent that is truly out of this world! 

Even more, We Put All The Fruit In even has a sticker engraved on the front to represent the stickers you get on fresh fruit! 

I adore this bath bomb! I love anything Orange based especially during the Summer season! It just makes me think of the outdoors! I also love how this product showcases the amount of fresh fruit that Lush uses to create a fair few of their iconic products! If you're a fan of anything Orange then take my word, this bath bomb is definitely one that you should run to grab rather than walking at a leisurely pace! 

A Mo-Ment In Life 

Well the first ever bath bomb was designed for a mo-ment of serenity. 

Ingredients:  

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cornstarch, Agar Agar, Alcohol Denat., Titanium Dioxide, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Black Pepper Oil, Ginger Oil, Soybean Flour, Corn Protein, Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, *Citral, *Limonene, Perfume, Colour 42090:2, Colour 42090, Colour 19140:1, Colour 14700, Colour 17200, Colour 45410:1, Colour 45350.

A Mo-Ment In Life has been created for Lush's World Bath Bomb Day 2025 Range to commemorate Mo Constantine (one of the co-founders of Lush) creating the first ever bath bomb over 30 years ago in her shed! If it wasn't for Mo, the beauty and bathing industry would look very different and we wouldn't have Lush and it's amazing bath bombs and beauty products that have become staples in people's bathrooms and shelves across the globe!

This bath bomb creates an amazing experience in the bath. Not only is it an amazing colour changing bath bomb, not only does it create beautiful bath art that reminded me of spending afternoons in my families back garden but it also contains Agar Agar that helps to soften the skin! 

This Bath Bomb contains Ginger Oil, Black Pepper Oil and Lemon Oil which blend together to create a  truly heavenly spicy scent with a slightly mysterious citrus kick to it. 

I think that if you love spicy scents then you will love A Mo-Ment In Life. If you're a big fan of the retro Lush days then I think that you should give this bath bomb a sniff! If you're a big lover of Lord Of Misrule but think it's a bit too heavy for summer and the warmer months then this bath bomb may be worth a sniff the next time you're in a Lush store! 

Anyone that knows me will know that I adore Lemon and Ginger so when I heard that a bath bomb was coming that contains Lemon, Ginger and Black Pepper, I knew that I had to sniff it and try it out! I did and I instantly fell in love with the bath bomb. I am a sucker for anything citrus and anything spicy and to me this bath bomb has bonded the two together to create a truly beautiful contrasting yet complimentary amalgamation of citrus and spice! I also love using anything spicy for when my back flares up and I think that this bath bomb would help to relieve that quite a lot so I'll definitely be grabbing a couple for when that happens! 

Sonic Death Monkey 

We all need a bath bomb to help us get through the day! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Tangerine Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Cornstarch, Coffee Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Cocoa Powder, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Silica, Tin Oxide, Coumarin, *Limonene, Perfume, Colour 77491, Colour 15985:1, Colour 15510, Whole Coffee Beans. 

Sonic Death Money has been a Shower Gel loved by many for a generous amount of years now. Sadly it was discontinued back in the day but came back recently in the form of the Retro Wall. A wall behind the tills of Lush stores stacked with a plethora of much loved products from years gone by. 

This bath bomb contains Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Tangerine Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Cocoa Powder and Coffee Oil which blend together to create Sonic Death Monkeys iconic scent which to me reminds me of a sort of Mocha with Orange Zest decorated on the top of it or a  Orange Chocolate Latte or a sort of Orange Chocolate take on a Espresso Martini especially with the Vanilla Absolute helping to round the scent out just like what Vanilla does in a Espresso Martini. I mean there's even Coffee Beans on top to resemble a bit of an  Martini vibe! 

I realise that the scent profile may sound like a peculiar one but honestly give it a sniff before you judge this beautiful bath bomb! 

I used this bath bomb recently and I adored it!  I used it first thing in the morning and oh boy did it perk me right up! The scent lingered on my skin for a fair bit which I adored. My skin also felt beautiful and supple after using this bath bomb due to the Cocoa Butter that coats the top of the bath bomb. If you're a coffee lover then definitely give Sonic Death Monkey a go! 

Super Milk

This bath bomb will make you feel superb! 

Ingredients: 

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Whole Almonds, Coconut Milk Powder, Cornstarch, Perfume, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Litsea Cubeba Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Vanilla Absolute, Vanilla Pod Powder, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Tin Oxide, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Citral, Coumarin, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 77491. 

Super Milk has been having its moment recently so it made sense for Lush to finally release a bath bomb version of this superstar of a scent. 

The Litsea, Benzoin and Vanilla combine to create a truly scrumptious and superb scent that reminds me slightly of Lemon Drizzle Cake that has just been freshly baked. The Coconut Milk not only adds a creamy note to the scent to truly make it that iconic scent that has been helping the nations hair to feel and smell delicious but also helps to nourish the skin so we can feel soft and supple all Summer long! 

Some may be a bit confused by the Almonds that are placed on top of this beautiful bath bomb but in my opinion alongside the coconut Milk it helps to give a nod to the smorgasbord of beautiful nut oils that are in the Super Milk Hair Primer that launched a thousand superb shipments of Super Milk. 

I am a bit particular with the Super Milk scent and I think it works best in the primer and glitter spray but now after trying the bath bomb I think it works beautifully in this too. The scent in the bath bomb is slightly zingy and not too cloying and in my opinion is a perfect scent for those summer mornings where you need a little boost to help you get through the day! 

If you have the Shower Gel still from the Community drop last year then you could pair these two together for the most decadent routine or do what I love to do and use it alongside the hair primer and the glitter spray before a night out with friends! 

Have you tried any of these Bath Bombs? What is your favourite Bath Bomb from the World Bath Bomb Day Range? Is it the E.T Bath Bomb? Let me know down below and on social media! 

Thanks again to the wonderful team at Lush for sending me these goodies! 

Thanks for reading!

AD | It's Time To Have Your Bath Bomb & Enjoy It Too! | Lush X Hello Kitty and Friends Range

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! I was recently sent some of the goodies from the Hello Kitty and Friends X Lush Collaboration Range and I thought that today I would talk to you all about the range! 

If anyone knows me well then you will know that I adore Sanrio! I recently went away and had to pop into a Sanrio store when I saw one! I forever have a soft spot for characters such as Gudetama and Aggretsuko. When I heard that Lush was collaborating with Sanrio I honestly knew that I would have to check it out and grab everything as soon as I could so when Lush sent me this parcel of goodies not only was I so grateful I was so excited to delve in and check everything out! 

A close up photo of a pink square box opened up with a white animated cat and with a pink bow next to some other Sanrio animated characters with a plethora of face shaped bath bombs such as hello kitty which is white with a pink bow, Kuromi which is black with a white face and Cinnamoroll which is golden brown with a pink slice of cake shaped soap, a white and blue milk bottle shaped with a straw shaped bubble bar alongside a cykdiencual small bottle of white shower gel with a red glitter with a clear label with the same animated characters and hello kitty and friends shower gel and lush in light pink on a bright background

Hello Kitty Bath Bomb (£6).

She truly is the icon! 

Hello Kitty has been a staple in all of our lives for a long long while now and now she's here to be a staple in your bathing routine too!

Hello Kitty Bath Bomb contains Brazilian Orange Oil, Patchouli Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Vanilla Absolute. These oils blend together to create a truly interesting scent. Lush describe this as a true amalgamation of two of their iconic scents. Snow Fairy and Milky Bath. Hello Kitty's Bow is a bath melt that consists some truly fabulous butters to nourish the skin such as Kokum Butter and Hello Kitty's nose is made of a Boba Pearl. 

To me, this bath bomb in the water creates a sweet scent that truly smells of the iconic Snow Fairy from Lush worth a little bit of a citrus twang to it which is interesting to smell especially in the water! I loved the addition of the bow being a bath melt as I'm someone who has quite dry skin and anything that contains butters that will nourish the skin is always a great thing in my opinion. Not only did my skin feel amazing after enjoying Hello Kitty in the bath but I also smelt delectable. I feel like this would be a great gift for anyone who wants something sweet in the bath and is a big fan of Snow Fairy but would like something new due to having everything Snow Fairy already in their collection.

Kuromi Bath Bomb (£6).

Don't trust a bath bomb by its dark and deceiving design... 

Kuromi is here! Kuromi may look all dark and sinister on the outside but get to know her and you'll realise that she's an absolute sweetheart. 

Lush has epitomised the dark yet absolutely cute vibe of Kuromi not only by Kuromi releasing black rainbow lustre and pink into the water but also by the scent of this beautiful bath bomb. Lush has scented Kuromi with the Happy Bloomimg scent. Happy Blooming contains Almond Essential Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Ylang Ylang which blend together to create a truly delicious Cherry Bakewell scent that has notes of Black Cherry to it with a slightly fresh and floral undertone.

I am slightly hesitant when it comes to Cherry scents and Cherry Bakewell as I have spent years absolutely detesting Cherry and Almond as they can be too synthetic but Happy Blooming is a beautiful scent as the Ylang Ylang adds a interesting element to the scent. I love anything that has rainbow black lustre in so mixing that with Happy Blooming meant that I knew that I was going to love this bath bomb and I very much do! 

 Kuromi would make a perfect gift for those in your life who are sometimes a little dark and mysterious.

My Melody Bath Bomb (£6).

My Melody may know a thing or two about baking but would it surprise you if she knew a thing or two about bathing too? 

My Melody is known for all things baking and I think that Lush has done a great job representing this in the form of the scent that My Melody is in this creative collaborative range. 

My Melody is scented with the iconic American Cream scent which to some reminds them of Strawberry Shortcakes and eating beautiful dishes at a dessert bar. American Cream contains Vanilla Absolute, Clary Sage Oil, Lavender Oil and Benzoin Resinoid which blend together to create a truly scrumptious scent that makes you feel like you are bathing on a cloud. Did you know that Lavender is known for its soothing properties so this bath bomb would definitely help you relax after a stressful day of creative challenges. 

I mean I love American Cream but I really love American Cream in the height of Spring as it reminds me a bit of enjoying a Strawberry Milkshake in a shopping centre during the height of Spring. I paired this with the American Cream Shower Gel and the old Sreawberry Heart Shower Jelly and honestly I had an amazing bath that created some cute bath art!

Cinnamoroll Bath Bomb (£6).

Who doesn't want to smell like freshly made cinnamon rolls? 

Cinnamoroll is here and this beautiful bath bomb is not only going to make you feel comforted with their scent but will also make you feel like you're bathing on clouds due to the beautiful blue bath art that Cinnamoroll creates in the tub. 

Cinnamoroll contains Rice Starch, Almond Essential Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Carob Resinoid and Cinnamon Leaf Oil to create a truly scrumptious freshly basked Cinnamon Roll scent that has a bit of sweetness to it. I absolutely adore anything Cinnamon so when I saw that Lush were creating a Cinnamon Roll scented bath bomb inspired by Cinnamoroll I was very excited! Lush truly met my expectations and more with this bath bomb. Cinnamoroll does smell like Cinnamon Rolls like I've said due to the inclusion of Vanilla and Cinnamon but the Carob adds a slightly smoky toffee note to it which to me makes it smell like the caramelised middle part of a cinnamon roll.You know where it's slightly sticky and slightly caramelised? 

Honestly if you know anyone in your life who loves cinnamon rolls and baths then definitely grab them this bath bomb! They will be ever so thankful that you gifted them it.

Milk Bottle Bubble Bar (£9.50). 

We all know that Milk helps to relax us and so do baths so why not combine the two together? 

Fun fact! Did you know that Milk Bottle was the first accessory that Hello Kitty carried when Hello Kitty was released in 1975? 

Milk Bottle contains Sea Salt which is known to help you relax. Milk Bottle also contains Buchu Absolute, Almond Essential Oil, Cocoa Absolute and Labdanum Resinoid. If you're a big fan of Lush then you may recognise the scent of this Bubble Bar via the Candy Rain Conditioner. To me the mixture of Almond, Cocoa, Vanilla and Labdanum creates a rich creamy scent that has a touch of fruitiness in the background. If you're based in the UK and love the Milk Bottle sweets then I think that you will adore this bubble bar. I mean look  at it, I'm lactose intolerant and even I think that this is an adorable product for the bath!

Friendship Cake Soap 

It's time to have you cake, share it amongst friends and use it to cleanse yourself beautifully too! 

This Friendship Cake Soap looks amazing! The effort that has gone into this soap is impeccable! The Friendship Cake Soap can be sliced into individual slices to take home and use or can be sold as a whole cake for you to share with friends and family when you're home or celebrating something amazing! 

Friendship Cake Soap contains Tangerine and Orange Oils which combine to create a truly refreshing Orange scent that will make your mouth water. If you have tried the Angels Delight Soap or the Shiz University Massage Bar from Lush and loved it then you're in luck as the Friendship Cake Soap shares the same scent! This super soap also contains junk Organic Agave Syrup, Almond Oil and Pressed Murumuru Butter which are combined together and layered onto the top of the cake shaped soap to represent buttercream/frosting on the top of a freshly baked cake! This combination of butters ensures that your skin is nourished and soft after using in the bathroom. I adore the scent of this Soap. It just reminds me of bright and warm Summer days when everything just feels fabulous and warm! As someone with dry skin, I love the fact that this soap has that whipped top. It ensures that my hands don't feel dry even if I'm washing them a lot throughout the day which happens a fair bit! If you're a fan of citrus scents or want something bright and zingy to wash with then definitely check this amazing soap out or buy a slice and gift to a friend who needs a pick me up!

Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel (from £8.50).

Who says showering can't be fun?! 

This Shower Gel like the Hello Kitty Bath Bomb shares the scent of the two famous Lush scents (Milky Bath and Snow Fairy) alongside some other gorgeous goodies. 

This shower gel contains Fresh Strawberry Puree, Fine Sea Salt, Brazilian Orange Oil, Patchouli Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Vanilla Absolute which combine to create a truly unique scent. To me, I say that the Snow Fairy element of the shower gel blends into the Strawberry Puree a bit which then combines with the Patchouli and Orange which make up the scent profile of Milky Bath at Lush which to me smells like fresh clean cotton with a sort of spicy kick to it. When these two scents combine, in the format of the shower gel, I get a sort of spicy grown up strawberry ice cream scent to it in a way.  

If you're a fan of glitter (I mean who isn't?) then you will love this Shower Gel as Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel contains a special red glitter that evokes the spirit of Hello Kitty and her friends when it shimmers beautifully in the light. 

If you're a fan of Snow Fairy Milkshake from Christmas 2024 or American Cream then I think that you will adore this scent. I've been using it first thing in the morning and it's just helped to perk me up when I felt a bit bleh as the Patchouli helps to ground me but the Strawberry and Vanilla makes me think I can feel cute and crack on with the day no matter what.

Hello Kitty and Friends Perfume (£30).

What does Hello Kitty smell of? Well now you'll be able to find out and smell just like her!

Lush have decided to bottle up the spirit of Helko Kitty in a glass perfume bottle that is adorned with characters from the Sanrio universe on the front for us to enjoy and feel truly like one of the gang alongside Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll and the rest of the gang! 

This perfume shares the same scent profile as the Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel and the Hello Kitty Bath Bomb that consists of Milky Bath and Snow Fairy.  

This perfume contains Brazilian Orange Oil, Patchouli Oil, Benzoin Resinoid and Vanilla Absolute to create this iconic scent. To me the Benzoin and Vanilla create that iconic Snow Fairy scent in this perfume whilst the other two ingredients make up the scent DNA of Milky Bath from Lush which combine to create a fragrance that will make people ask you what are you wearing because it smells that good! 

I have tested this out on paper and skin and I have also done a full day wear test of only using Hello Kitty and Friends Perfume before when I was in store before writing this blog post. It's also worth noting that everyone's skin can react to perfumes differently.

When I sprayed this onto my skin, the first note I got was that truly iconic pink Snow Fairy scent which just screams nostalgia and great times to me due to using Snow Fairy over the past ten years at least. The Snow Fairy note did flash off my skin quite quickly but left a hint on my skin which mingled and intertwined with the Patchouli and Orange which created a sweet yet creamy scent with a grounding edge. After wearing all day including running errands, shopping, checking a new Lush range out and getting home, I was left with a quite creamy scent on my skin. The best way I would describe the scent would be milky with a splash of sweetness to it. Honestly the scent I was left with after wearing this perfume wall day was similar to Candy Rain from Lush which I adore as it's creamy but has a depth and complexity to it due to the other ingredients in the scent profile such as Buchu and Cocoa that makes up the lovely scent of Candy Rain/Mrs Whippy. All in all I do think that it's an amazing scent.
