Christmas Sweater Bath Bomb

My first impression of this year's Christmas range was that I was rather disappointed by the lack of new bath bombs. While there seemed to be enough bubble bars to bring down Santa's sleigh, the two bath bombs that featured amongst these did not do much to excite me about the range as a whole. Having said that, I should point out that the 2017 seasonal collection over all is perhaps far more impressive than it has been for years. 

Christmas Sweater confused me for two reasons. Firstly, as a British company, I assumed that they would have chosen the more appropriate term 'jumper', as that's what most of us Brits would have related to more. And secondly, the list of ingredients rang alarm bells for me because they seemed far too familiar.

As it turns out, this seasonal ballistic is very nearly a replica of my least favourite bath bomb ever: Fizzy O' Therapy, albeit far more attractive. In fact, the only difference between the two, scent wise, is that this latest edition features the inclusion of Sicilian lemon oil, which adds a subtle hint of fruitiness to the occasion.

For those not familiar with my terrible experiences of Fizzy O' Therapy, you should know that it is not the scent that deters me from using it. While the design might not be particularly attractive, it is the sewage-coloured water that sends alarm bells ringing, and the gritty consistency that has me running in the opposite direction.

When it comes to Christmas Sweater, neither of these two are relevant, and in fact I happen to think that this bath bomb heeds some of the most stunning bath art that I've seen in a long time from Lush. With a yellow core and red outer shell, this seasonal ballistic creates beautiful rainbows of colour that pattern the surface of the water, and the deep shade of red that the water transpires into afterwards is gorgeous. Having said that, the fragrance is very similar to the aforementioned bath bomb above, and the effect it has on you is equally familiar. 

Smell-wise, this bath bomb offers a gentle but very warming fragrance. From the start, you can smell the sweet, spicy layer of cinnamon. It is not anywhere near as 'hot' as it is in Cinders Bath Bomb - instead offering a gentle and very comforting herbal layer. Alongside this, the ginger gives the bath bomb a delicate note that is almost floral, while both the cloves and lemon oil round the fragrance off with a sweet and subtley fruity smell. 

Despite the bath bomb featuring many quite potent ingredients, I was surprised to find that the overall affect is quite a subtle one. This is not a bath bomb that will blow your socks off; this is one that will gently ease them from your feet and coax the warmth back into your bones. This is a wonderful remedy to enjoy after a long, hard day at work.

What is great about Christmas Sweater Bath Bomb is that not only does it smell like a winter wonderland, but that each ingredient has been added to stimulate the muscles, release the tension and banish the chills that you may be harvesting in this often unforgiving season. Although this bath bomb isn't the most nourishing one that I'd had from Lush, it does leave your skin feeling smooth, soft and moisturised - enough to banish those dry areas brought on by the harsh conditions outside. While I'm not looking forward to the colder weather setting in, I do know that I'm now prepared for what to use, if and when that eventually happens.

Quantitative Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Ginger Powder, Mustard Powder, Perfume, Coriander Seed Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Water (Aqua), Propylene, Glycol Cinnamyl, Alcohol *Eugenol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Colour 14700, Colour 15985:1, Colour 19140:1, Colour 47005, Colour 45410, Colour 17200.

Dear John Shower Gel

Dear John is a fragrance that I forget how much I appreciate, until I whip out the body spray and fall in love with it all over again. With so many different layers and such an interesting range of ingredients, this is a scent as unique as it is complex. 

When the Lush Kitchen announced that they would be making a shower gel version of this smell, I was equally intrigued and perplexed. On the one hand I was really excited to try a brand new shower gel, as those who follow this blog will know how much I love this format. However, there was a part of me that wondered if such a fragrance would actually work well outside of being a perfume.

Upon first inspection, I was rather pleased to notice the deep, forest green that Dear John Shower Gel sported. Given the design of the perfume bottles and body spray, I was expecting a cream-coloured liquid, so the actual product was definitely an upgrade of the colour I originally envisaged.  

Unfortunately, what I also noticed very quickly was that the shower gel was very thin - offering the same consistency as The Olive Branch. This meant that I found myself using far more than I would normally do so, as the product wasn't as compact in my hands as I would expect from most Lush gels. While the product lathered up really quickly and produced a generous amount of foam to wash myself with, I felt as if I used more that I usually would, just because of how runny it was and how freely it flowed from the bottle.

Supposedly a 'unisex' fragrance, this shower gel is quite complex: featuring layers of vetivert, cedar, clove, coriander, lime, coffee and pine. What I noticed about Dear John from the get-go was that it was the former three ingredients that made the biggest impression. From the bottle you can make out the sweet, smoky characteristics of the vetivert, blended with a gentle layer of woody cedar. Together, these two ingredients create an almost resinous smell, which when combined with a subtle hint of warming clove, makes for the most comforting of fragrances.

How this shower gel differed from other Dear John products, is the fact that the lime was not as noticeable as it is in other formats. While you can definitely detect its fruity presence, it was a little subtler than it is in other formats - meaning that I found this shower gel to be a little less refreshing than the body spray is.

What I also found a little disappointing was the fact that the shower gel was not as moisturising as most other variations available. I felt clean afterwards, and the fragrance lingered around for a short while on my body. However, my skin didn't feel as soft or as nourished as I was expecting it to be. For this reason, I can imagine those with very dry skin may benefit from using a body lotion afterwards to replenish the skin of moisture.  

Fans of Dear John will definitely appreciate this new addition to the family, and I have been enjoying having a bottle to indulge myself with on a daily basis. Having said that, those with a keen nose will notice that there are differences between this and the perfume, and some may not appreciate the subtle changes that have been made. The fact that I am half way through a bottle in just under three weeks, also suggests that this is not necessarily as good value for money as some of Lush's other shower gels. 

Quantitative Ingredients: Rosemary Infusion, Nettle Leaf Infusion, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Perfume, Proplyene Glycol, Fine Sea Salt, Vetivert Oil, Coriander Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Cedarwood Oil, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral, Coumarin, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool, Colour 42090, Methylparaben.

Yellow Submarine Bath Bomb

'We're all going on a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine...'. Let's be honest: there are probably very few people who found out about this bath bomb and didn't repeat the above ditty in their head at least once, just to prove that they could remember it. Many of you most likely went on to rekindle a memory or two of being in school; of having to either perform this repetitive and rather sickly-sweet song in front of your peers, or to endure another class reciting it, albeit out-of-tune, for your viewing pleasure.

This is what I think makes Yellow Submarine Bath Bomb so special to me. While I accept that the current generation of primary school children will probably never grow up to value it as we do - nor will many of them branch out to appreciate The Beatles for their musical worth. However, children of the eighties and nineties will at least be able to make the association between this product and their time at school.  

Made from a combination of orange, coriander and lemongrass, this limited edition bath bomb first made its appearance at the Lush Summit - an event that took place between the 8th and 9th of February, 2017. Exclusive to this event, this brand new product offers a bright, summery bath - giving you a glimpse into what glorious weather we can only hope for this summer.

What is strange about Yellow Submarine, is that while I can recognise each of three main components in the fragrance, the overall aroma is something very different when you first smell it. Initially, my immediate response was that it shared its scent with my favourite shower jelly, Big Calm. However, upon comparing the two, I found that the bath bomb was actually far richer, less pineapple-led, and dare I say it: more exquisite.

Having said that, I am still very adamant that this bath bomb is a tropical offering rather than simply a 'fruity' one. While there is nothing in the ingredients list to suggest why I can smell this, I can definitely make out a sweet, nutty layer of coconut, which makes this a well-rounded and rather creamy affair. 

Alongside this, the inclusion of both lemongrass and orange create an uplifting, fruity layer. This is the stronger of the two notes, and when combined seem to mimic the usual pineapple and passionfruit notes that you would normally expect to find in tropical aromas, albeit with less of a citrus edge.Having said this, I can recognise the inclusion of the coriander in this bath bomb as well. There is a very subtle, dry, herbal element present (that appears to intensify somewhat in the bath tub), that I associate with the ingredient.

What is great about Yellow Submarine is that the second it hits the water, it froths up and creates a mountainous amount of foam. The ballistic then nestles itself within this froth and floats on the surface for a short while, offering a wonderful display of yellow and pinks in the process. As the thick blanket disperses across the surface, the bath bomb capsizes and continues to ebb out waves of colour until the bath bomb has fully dissolved. 

This is one of those slow, quiet bath bombs that fizzles a little, but does produce too much noise in the tub. Furthermore, it's also one that produces a layer of creamy foam the submerge yourself beneath. For this reason, I would highly recommend that you climb into the tub and enjoy the sweet layers of fragrance as the bath ballistic floats on the surface and gently dissolves in front of you.

By the end, you're left with a warming, golden-honey coloured water, which is far more appealing than the simple yellow shade I was expecting. Furthermore, the water appears slightly thicker and moisturising than usual, although I wouldn't say that this bath bomb is particularly generous when it comes to its softening properties.

While the scent was present throughout the experience  I wouldn't say that it was as strong as it could have been, especially given how potent the bath bomb is to begin with. Furthermore, I wasn't really able to detect much of the fragrance on my skin afterwards, although the smell did stay around for a short while in the bathroom. 

Although I felt relaxed and more uplifted after I had experienced this bath bomb, it is definitely a fragrance that I think would work better in a different format: a shower gel, dusting powder or perfume would be a wonderful addition to the range, and would definitely satisfy my tropical cravings until Lush are kind enough to bring out the Big Calm Perfume I have been waiting for for years.

Quantitative Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Perfume, Water, Brazilian Orange Oil, Coriander Seed Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Limonene, Benzyl Alcohol, Coumarin, Fandango Lustre, Colour 45410, Colour 47005. 

Vegan?: Yes.

Hot Java Bath Bomb

Lush tend to release products with particular spices at certain points of the year. For example, cinnamon and cloves are very much associated with the winter/Christmas period, so it's unlikely you'll find much with this smell throughout the rest of the year. This is a royal shame as sometimes I just need something to perk me up in the evening, and a ballistic with fruit and spices would do the job perfectly. That's why, when Lush released Hot Java Ballistic as a year-long bath bomb, many Lush fans were very happy indeed. 

Unfortunately, this happiness was short-lived. First released in 2005, the bath bomb only lasted a little over a year on the shelves, and was discontinued in 2007 due to reasons unknown. Whether it was removed to offer space for new releases, or down to its unimpressive turn over, this product barely left the ground before it was removed from stores and never seen again. Thankfully, Lush brought this beauty back a couple of weeks ago in the Kitchen, and the dust was removed on this rather unique bath ballistic.

Packed full of natural uplifting herbs; cinnamon, coriander and juniperberry, Hot Java offers a warming, spicy fragrance with a twist. With a surplus amount of ginger in here, in the form of oil, powder and absolute, this bath bomb is the perfect remedy for anyone needing to banish a cold or coax out any unwanted sniffles. Although not one of my favourite smells, I will admit that it gives the product a lovely warm and rather hot after-scent. It's not sweet like Hot Toddy or Glogg - rather more dry and dusty with a warming musky ginger smell, a touch of herbal coriander and a big helping of spicy cinnamon. To finish off, Hot Java also has a touch of orange zest which gives this ballistic a warming, well-rounded, multi-layered scent. 

As you can see in my demonstration video, this bath bomb is a fast fizzer - bleeding out waves of red colour across the surface of the water and producing one of the brightest baths I have had in a while. This vivid display remained prominent throughout the entire bathing experience, and even though the bath bomb was stimulating enough, the colour aided this feeling of warmth and comfort.

Unfortunately, it also filled the tub with a surplus amount of cinnamon sticks, which sunk to the bottom of the tub very quickly, but definitely didn't eradicate the many problems that they created by being there in the first place. For those of you who dislike bathing products with 'extra baggage', you'll often make an exception for the ballistics that might have one or two bonus surprises. This is because it's easy enough to scoop out the flowers/herbs etc. before you get in.

However, with Hot Java, my entire bath tub was full of shards of cinnamon sticks, which when you tried to scoop them up would form a flurry under the surface and make it very difficult to grab. This meant that I had to sit on the rough pieces throughout the entire bath, and be careful not to cause too much movement in the water for fear that the shards would get into my hair or coat my body. 

As for the smell, I was able to pick up both the cloves and cinnamon, which intensified when the bath bomb had been dissolved. I was also able to pick up the heated scent of ginger, which mellowed in the bath tub and let the other fragrances come through. Overall, this ballistic was surprisingly weaker than I was expecting for one so full of spices and herbs. This is not to say that this is a bad thing - in fact it was refreshingly original. 

Lush describes Hot Java as being a ballistic you can rely on 'every time you need warming up. It's for cold days or days when you've got a cold or when you've been out in the cold and need warming up right through. It's good for when you're feeling creaky after exercising too. Run a warm bath, drop in the Hot Java and let the spices soak right in.'

Despite my distain for some aspects of this bath bomb, I will admit that it did make me feel really relaxed and warm. The deep red-coloured water helped me to feel sleepy and contented, wherein the slight fragrance massaged my tense body parts and helped me to unwind. It even got rid of the headache that was threatening to erupt at that moment!

Overall, this is a bath ballistic that probably won't be making a permanent comeback. With the likes of Melting Snowman Bath Melt, Phoenix Rising and Hot Toddy Bubble Bar, Hot Java somewhat pales in comparison and cannot compete against these far more superior products. If Lush were to bring it back, I would definitely be tempted to buy a couple more. However, it's one I could live without.

Quantitative Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cinnamon Stick, Perfume, Ginger Oil, Cinnamon Powder, Ginger Powder, Coriander Oil, Ginger Absolute, Ylang Ylang Oil, Juniperberry Oil, *Benzyl Salicylate, *Eugenol, *Geraniol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Farnesol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Hydroxycitronellal, Colour 14700.

Phuket Bath Bomb

If there ever was a bath bomb that was going to be mispronounced, this one would be it. While it probably says something about myself, it took me three attempts to get it right, and I still sometimes find myself thinking the incorrect and rather rude alternative in my head.

Pronounced foo-ket, this ballistic was originally released to raise money to aid the Tsunami Relief Fund - a charity set up to provide relief and aid to the victims of devastating natural disasters. This was most relevant in 2004, when the Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster claimed more than 230,000 lives in fourteen different countries, and was named one of the most deadliest natural disasters ever recorded.

Containing a generous helping of orange oil and desiccated coconut, this gorgeous bath bomb gives off an aroma not that far off Big Calm Shower Jelly. Both of these ingredients shine through in equal measures - making this beautiful product a wonderful sweet and nutty experience with a hint of citrus.

With the addition of vetivert to add a very subtle woody aroma, and a strange inclusion of coriander oil that I couldn't really detect at all, Phuket is a bath bomb that makes a statement - a gorgeously warming scent that compliments the heat of the summer, but acts as a form of escapism during those colder months. 

What is great about this bath bomb is that there is so much coconut threaded throughout the product. This means that when the bath bomb explodes across the water, handfuls of the stuff disperses across the surface of the water and helps to add much needed conditioning properties to the experience. 

This is definitely one of the most moisturising bath bombs, and it is this latter ingredient that makes it so - the orange oil adding some radiance to your skin while the coriander diminishes body odour and helps to detoxify the skin while you're bathing in its waters. 

Unfortunately, the one aspect that lets Phuket down is that it isn't buoyant at all in the tub. Despite being fresh, both of the bath bombs I tried consecutively sunk upon impact with the water, and all I was able to 'enjoy' was a bubbling sensation coming from the base of the bath tub.  While the desiccated coconut rose to the surface fairly quickly, and the water turned a warming shade of orange, the bath bomb did little else for me to write home about.

Having said that, the smell that radiated from the tub was a lot stronger than I expected. Although I have heard many fans state that this ballistic is quite weak-smelling when dispersed in the water, I was delighted to discover the opposite - the bomb creating a fragrant and very pleasing bath that left remnants of coconut and orange on my skin afterwards.

While I would have liked to have seen more than just the one colour coming from this product, I cannot deny that it didn't smell delicious throughout my entire bath, and I relished in the fact that I was bathing in what smelled like a Caribbean cocktail. Furthermore, my skin was left feeling radiant and well-nourished - the dry patches between my fingers healing up very quickly and my complexion pertaining some much-needed colour.

This is a bath bomb I would be happy to enjoy over and over again, and I look forward to pairing this with the likes of You've Been Mangoed and Floating Island Bath Melts to extend the creaminess and enjoy a decadent experience that won't add to the waist line.  

   

Quantitative Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Coconut Cream (Cocos nucifera), Coriander Oil (Coriandrum sativum), Vetivert Oil (Vetivera zizanoides), Orange Oil (Citrus dulcis), Dessicated Coconut (Cocos nucifera), Perfume, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Colour 18050.
