Holly Golightly Amazeball

4 out of 5 rating.

See my tub demo video below.

This is one four different Christmas bath bombs this year which have a complwtely new design. Fly Me To The Moon, Snow Fairy, Don’t Let the Bells End and Holly Golightly.

They are hollowed out bath bombs filled with a powder mixture which is half bath bomb and have bubbly mixture.

You can use it one of two ways. I show in my video.

Holly Go Lightly has a green holly leaf top. And it has green powder in it and some large, light green crystals.

Its made in the same scent as the Christmas bath tablet called Cinnamon Orange, and the shower gel and bath bomb called ‘Hot Toddy’, as well as a bubble bar called Holly Golightly, and a bath melt called snow man,etc. Its got orange oil and cinnamon.

The bubble bar of the same name, with the same scent.

In two of the four different amazeballs the powder wouldnt come out no matter how hard i shook it. But in two of them it did come out. So your mileage may vary.

The scent was very faint in this Holly Golightly. I couldnt even tell what it smelled like. Pity because i love the Lush Hot Toddy scent.

It makes a medium green colored wayer and has green silver glitter in the water.

Elf Bomb Bomb

3 out of 5 rating

See my tub demo below.

This Christmas Lush has brought back three bomb bombs, only theyve been redesigned to be more sturdy. The top and bottom fit together like puzzle pieces, instead of the precarious round version from last year which toppled off and broke usually.

Im glad for the redesign.

Elf bomb bomb is the green one and is made with grapefruit, cinnamon and ginger. Its an odd combinatuon but it works well. Its the same quirky scent as jilted elf jelly and the elf on a shelf fun bar from past Christmases.

In my tub demo.i used the top half so you could see what it looked like. And then i used the bottom half. But one could easily use the second half for another bath on another day.

The bomb bombs are fast fizzers which dissolve quickly. Elf makes beautiful emerald green water.

I just wish the scent were stronger.

Jingle Bells

5 out of 5 rating

See my tub demo video below.

The Jingle Bells bath bomb is new for Christmas 2019.

Made again in 2024 for The Lush drcember subscription box

It’s made with the ‘Milky Bar’ soap and Milky Bar bubble bar scent. The scent is made with patchouli and orange oil. Its a comforting scent, like a warm blanket or fresh sheets.

It looks like a silver christmas bell, and it makes a jingly sound as well due to some salt crystals inside.

Initially i thought it was just a white colored bomb which would make white water.

Boy was i wrong! Soon i began to see a stripe of blue peek out.

Soon i began to see stark red and deep blue swirl about from the bomb! So pretty. What a surprise.

The blue and red continued to come out and filled the tub with gorgeous color.

The scent is nice and strong. Perfuming my skin in its wonderful fragrance.

Soon the water started to turn purple as the two colors combined.

There is no sparkle nor glitter.

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this bath bomb.

Yog Nog bubble bar (2019)

5 out of 5 rating. see my ten minute tub demo video below.

This year’s Yog Nog bubble bar looks different than last year’s. Many of you were telling me that you were somewhat disappointed in the performance of last years nog nog bubble bar because you didn’t get very many bubbles as it was very moisturizing with cocoa butter and shea butter, etc.

Well this years Yog Nog also has lots of cocoa butter. It looks different than last year’s battenburg cake style bar. The 2019 bar looks like something you would find in the shire, or a Dr Suess book. Like someplace fairies would live.

It’s got white and gold stripes of mixture and something creamy in the middle. It’s got a gold dipped tip too.

I found this bar to be just as moisturzing as last year’s bar. Keep in mind that i have hard water. So keep that in mind whenever review bubble bars, hard water makes it more difficult to get a lot of bubbles than it does for people who have soft water in their home. So if you have soft water where you live you’ll get even more bubbles than i did.

This bar feels so luxurious when it’s dissolving in your hand under the water stream. You can feel all of the moisturizing butters. My skin is grateful for this.

It doesn’t have as strong of a yog nog scent as the shower gel though, nor as strong of a yog nog scent as last year’s bubble bar. I have one left over from last year and it smells stronger of yog nog than this new bar. The new one still smells of the caramely yog nog scent, just not as strong as i was expecting. That said i still give this bar a 5 out of 5 star rating, for looks and performance.

Its yellow gold and has gold glittery water.

Snow Fairy bath bomb

5 out of 5 rating

See my 3 minute tub demo video below

This year 2024 Lush made the Snow Fairy Christmas bomb in a different look than the previous years.

I love the pink swirled look of the white and pink bomb. And its no secret that im a sucker for glitter. The glittery blue on the snowflake part of this bomb is so pretty.

My relaxing 2 minute demo vid of Snow Fairy with the Lush bath bot.

https://youtu.be/w4kXfxbJ8X4?si=Z73ZZ08q-fUV0S4W

This year Lush has two different bath bombs with the same ‘Snow Fairy’ name. One is this one and one is the Amazeball called Snow Fairy. Both have the same scent but are completely different. The other one not shown here is all pink, is hollow and has a gold star shaped cap on it.

Its no secret that Snow Fairy scent is not my favorite. However i couldnt resist the beauty of it. I will say that im loving this Snow Fairy bath bomb much better than last years messy, slimey Snow Fairy jelly bomb. Dont you?

I love the bi-colored look of the white and pink. And its no secret that im a sucker for glitter. The glittery blue on the snowflake part of this bomb is so pretty.

This is a bath bomb that rocks back and forth and moves all around the tub. Not a slow, melty foamy fizzer. I like the liveliness of its movement.

And the end result is glittery pink water with that sweet and fruity, sparkly scent.

I think those that love the snow fairy scent will absolutely love this bomb.

I’m not a huge snow fairy fan, but I really liked the bath bomb a lot.  I like it more than any of the other versions or styles of snow fairy bomb in the past.

Fireball

4 out of 5 rating. See my 2 minute tub demo below.

This is a beautifully designed bath bomb with vibrant yellow, orange and red colors. Looks just like a fireball! Its also got a bit of gold glitter on the red part.

This bomb was made with orange oil, ginger, and mustard powder so its nice and warming on a cool winter’s night.

It was made in the popular Lush ‘Cinders’ scent

Its both a fast, noisy fizzer And a slow, quiet melty fizzer. Plus its got popping cansy for that ‘crackling cinders in a fireplace’ sound.

The scent is nice, medium strong. If the scent were stronger i woukd give this a 5 out of 5 rating.

The end result is a bright orange water with just a very small bit of gold glitter in the water. Its not what i would call glittery water.

Luxury Lush Pud XL Bombshell

4 out of 5

This year not only does Lush have the returning Luxury Lush Pud for Christmas, but yhey also have this new XL Bombshell type of Luxury Lush Pud.

Its not as big and heavy as some of the past giant bombs like Mother Earth, Mother of Dragons and Intergalactic XXL which were a whoooing three times the size…but it is noticeably bigger. Its not as heavy as you would think because its hollow inside.

Like the other ‘bombshell’ type of bath bomb ‘Citrus bombshell’, ‘lavender bombshell’, etc. This has a clamshell effect of having to halves with filling in the middle hollowed out portion. In the case of Luxury Pud Bombsgell the filling are crystals. Pink Agar agar crystals and salt crystals. I love the look of this! Makes it look like a pink geode crystal.

In the bath it makes a lot of different noises whuch is fun. And this also has the round colored discs like its smaller counterpart.

So we can enjoy blue, yellow, green disces of melting bicarb floating amongst the pink/orange water.

This year Lush made this and the regular sized Luxury Pud in the scent of ‘The Comforter’, instead of the ‘Twilight’ scent that it had been in previous years.

I love the creamy multicolored foam.

I was disappointed in the scent however, or lack thereof. I expected this to smell more of the comforter than the regular sized one, not less than. Quite weak in scent unfortunately.

I wish the water became more pink at tge end instead of dark orange but all in all i liked bathibg with this bomb.

Fly Me To The Moon

5 out of 5 rating. See my tub demo video below to see it in action!

I’m so intrigued by these new Lush Christmas bath bombs, in order as they are in my photo above, called Amazeballs.), ‘Snow Fairy‘ (pink), ‘Don’t Let the Bells End’ (yellow), ‘Holly Golightly‘ (green), and Fly Me To the Moon’ (platinum ufo).

It was hard to decide which one i wanted to use (and demo) first. I chose Fly Me To the Moon….since i live in the same state as Roswell, New Mexico after all. 😉 When you take the top off its got purple bubble bar/bomb powder mixture inside.its scent is similar to ‘Nevermind the Ballistics’ from Christmas 2017. Its made with lime, orange and frankincense.

I like the platinum shimmer on the outside of it.

I also like the purple bath bomb/bubble bar combo powder inside that is partcular to Fly Me to the Moon.

You can either sprinkle the powder under running water and it will become frothy or you can put the whole rhing in the tub with the powder inside of it.

Its a slow, foamy fizzer. Once it starts dissolving It turns into something that looks like dessert. Like vanilla blackberry ice cream.

It also has glitter in ghe water.

I like everything about this bomb. The design. The innovation. The colors, and the scent. And the performance.

Lush products in this same scent are all below Nevermind the Ballistics, Tunnel of Love soap, Fun For All the Family bubble Spinner, festive friends fun multipurpose bar, can’t remember what the last two are called.

Christmas Retro Tree, Cinnamon Orange, Snowman bath oil tablets

3 out of 5 rating. See my demo video below.

Snowman (lemon, lemon myrtle and mint)
Orange (cinnamon, orange, Hot Toddy)
Winter Night (Furze)
Merry Christmas (orange-Berry Berry Christmas shower gel scent)
Anise (Ginger-yuk)
Iron Harvest (lavender and oats, same scent as Dreamtime bath oil, et al)
Dragon’s Temple (Same as Delight bath oil, pepper, lime)
St Basil (Jungle)
Retro Tree (Floating island)
Amelie Kringle (Candy Fluff)

.


Each has its own fragrance and each are made with different ingredients, all are made with cocoa butter and murumuru butter.
some have scents that Lush has used in other products.

These were first introduced in the Lush Labs website as ‘bath baubles’ months ago. At that time i purchased a couple of each. There were 10-12 different ones.

For Christmas 2019 Lush has reintroduced some of the 10-12 bath baubles as ‘bath tablets’. Basically theyre solid bath oils. Similar in ingredients to the regular, smaller, round solid bath oils that Lush sells all year round in stores and on line. The small round solid bath oils float on top of the water and are shimmery with bright, vivid colors.

These bath tablets are similar in ingredients to those but are flat and rectangular, also being quite a bit larger.

Theyre made with cocoa butter and various other nut and fruit butters. They are moisturizing. These tabkets dont float however. They just sink to the bottom. They just fail to put on the dazzling show of the small round bath oils.

These bath tablets also dont color the water very well. In my demo video i used a whole one and the water was barely colored.

These larger, solid bath oils tablets also make the tub very slippery if youre not careful.

They make my dry skin feel moisturized. And some of them are in scent families that i quite like. Thats about all i can say. While they look cute before use, and smell good, they just don’t excite me.

Year before last, for Christmas, lush had the ‘Snow Fall’ solid bath oil. It was round, white, simmery, had the most glorious winter scent and looked like actual white powdery snow falling in the water. Now THAT was very nice.

Ill take the smaller, round bath oils any day over these bath tablets.

The Snowman is lemony. Why not minty?

Punkin Pumpkin

Lush Punkin Punpkin 2020

Punkin Pumpkin 2020

See my tub demo video below

I love the smell of this bath bomb. It’s made in the Brave toothy tabs scent which nice and orangey.

This year the Punkin Pumpkin has yellow eyes. They eyes don’t glow in the dark.

The ones below from last year with the white eyes glowed in the dark.

Punkin Pumpkin 2018

This smells like Pumpkin Pie to me. Tbere have been three different pumpkin shaped bath bombs in past years, all different than this year’s. None of them had a pumpkin pie scent. So i was glad to discover this one does.

Its a slooooow fizzer. Very quietly and sloowly moving around the tub. I could see tge pumpkin powder that lush adds to this bomb when i drained the tub after my bath.

Tub demo video

Supposedly the eyes, and stem of this bath bomb glow in the dark. The previous years pumpkin bombs were fast fizzers so this bonb is altogether different. No glitter. Made the water a bright popsicle orange color.

Mercury Retrograde

4.5 out of 5 rating

See my tub demo video below

Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde was made with the Lush ‘Gingerbread House’ scent. Its made with Ginger, cinnamon, buchu oil, and lemon oil.

Its a slow, creamy fizzer. It rocks back and forth in the water. I love bombs with movement.

Also, at one point it actually started to spin. Just like the planet Mercury moving in retrograde (backwards).

Fun!

Also, there is green, purple and orange glitter in the orange water! Nice!

I took a half point off of a 5 out of 5 star rating only because the bath art rings couldve been more colorful. But this is a near perfect bomb in my opinion.

Great job Lush! Im impressed.

Santa

3 out of 5 rating

See my 2:34 minute tub demo video below

Santa

Santa is a reusable bubble bar wand.

Different than the one time squishy bubble bars, its a harder bar, thus this can be reused again in a second bath.

This is a very citrussy smelling bar. Its made with lemon, neroli and oramge. Its not sweet, at all.

Santa

You simply hold it under the water stream instead of smooshing it in your hand like the regular kind of lush bubble bars.

Its got a glittery white shimmer on its face.

The red color in back of this bar makes a reddish colored water. It makes tons of bubbles. I still had a whole bar left after this bath.

Lavender and Cedarwood. A different lavender scent than Sleepy/Twilight. It smells like fresh air and lavender. It doesn’t smell woody to me considering it has cedarwood oil.

2021
2020

It makes a rainbow effect in the water and ultimately makes a rosey colored water.

2021

Its a slow, creamy fizzer.

Lush made this fun Popcorn shaped bath bomb in the same scent as their ‘Let the Good Times Roll’ facial cleanser.

Its got corn flour in it. It smells to me like sweet, buttery corn.

It also pops because of popping candy inside.

It turns from bright yellow to gold when orangey gold spews out after a couple of minutes. Its a nice creamy bomb.

woukd recommend if you want a fun bomb for Christmas. No glitter.

I made a little collage of the 5 products thst Lush has made at one time or another and all have the same LTGTR scent ingredients.

Polar Bear Plunge

5 out of 5 rating.

See my 2 minute tub demo video below.

This cute little polar bear is almost too cute to use!

Hes made with real peppermint. Smells like a sweet candy cane for Christmas.

It has a white shimmer covering it.

Its firmer than some lush bubble bars.

This made tons of bubbles whether i cut it up or smooshed it with my hand.

Santa’s Grotto

I love slow melty fizzers, and i love floral scents. I also think the blue green color with silvery glitter is beautiful. Thats why i give this a 5 out of 5 rating.

See my tub demo video below.

5 out of 5 rating

This has a sensual, floral scent. Its not a bright scent but a deep scent. Its almost an earthy floral. Quite different. Its scent is made with everlasting flowers and ylang ylang flowers.

I live how its not a fast fizzer, its more of a quiet and slow melting fizzer.

The silver sparkle looks so pretty amongst the blue green water.

It has popping candy so it pops throughout its journey in the tub.

IMP-atient

5 out of 5 rating

I LOVE ALL Lush bath oils, ive used all 20 Lush bath oils and have loved every one. This new one is no exception. Its even cuter because its not just round, it’s in a shape.

This is one of a dozen or so new bath oils introduced exclusively at the new Lush Liverpool spa Megastore.

For a limited time Lush Uk decided to make these available for purchase for anyone to buy on their retail website lush.co.uk under ‘lush labs’.

Imp-atient smells so good. Kind of like cherry-ish.

This little imp is so cute. Almost too cute to use.

‘On those days when you’re feeling impish and can’t shake the chip on your shoulder, quieten your bugbears with this appeasing cocoa butter bath oil. Rose absolute restores and renews your sense of balance, while pink pepper gives your bad attitude a kick up the backside, bringing you back down to earth. Cleansing cistus oil adds a honeyed fragrance, sweetening your mood and cleansing your skin. As this candied pink oil dissipates, your mood melts away. Step out of the bath empowered by your emotions and ready to face the day.‘

See my 5 minute tub demo video of this cute little guy.

Aurora Borealis

5 out of 5 rating

See my 5 minute sink demo video below.

Trip the light fantastic and create a spectacle in your shower with this colourful creation to lift your mood and polish your skin to perfection. Buff your way to softness with sugar and fine sea salt, while potato starch leaves you feeling silky. An uplifting blend of zesty Sicilian lemon oil and invigorating spearmint oil combine with pineapple powder for an enzymic burst of freshness as bright as the Northern Lights. Break off a piece and hold under running water for a scrubby paste that you can gently work over wet skin to feel strokably smooth. 

The spearmint isnt that strong i must say but its blended nicely with the mint. Its not very sweet. It almost smells like a citrus floral to me.

Youre supposed to pinch a piece off instead of trying to wet the whole bar. I show how in my video sink demo below.

Lush Mallow Drama bubble bar from the Lush Harajuku store 100 bubble bars drop has the same scent.

‘cream

5 out of 5 rating. See my 4 minute Tub Demo with relaxing music below.

This solid bath oil”‘cream” is one of many new bath oils (and 300+ other products) from Lush exclusive to the new biggest Lush store in the world at the Liverpool spa.

Lush Uk decided to sell it on their retail website for sny of us who wanted to buy one. I bought two.

Apparently its sold out on the site now. Im hoping they release it for Halloween 2019.

Its made with Almond essential oil and ylang ylang, and is said to smell cherryish. Indeed it foes dmell cherryish. Originslly i thought this might be American Cream scented, but it isn’t. I noticed there is ylang ylang in here, which American Cream does not have. And the strawberry, lavender and sage which are in American Cream, are not in ‘cream. So i asked Lush and verified that this is a similar but a different scent.

I didnt realize it would make purple water!

Thefe is also a silver sparkle in the wster too.

I would recommend this. The color is nice and the scent is nice.

Heres my tub demo video

Turmeric Latte

5 out of 5 star rating

Lush introduced this bath bomb alongside 33 other bath bombs at their concept store in Harajuku Japan.

This bomb is SO lushious, creamy andcomforting to bathe in. Just like bathing in a real turmeric latte with golden milk.

5 out of 5 star rating. A Turmeric latte is not like a regular American latte like we have here in the U.S. Alot. A turmeric latte is made with golden milk, not coffee or chocolate. So its not chocolatey, its not coffeeish, not earthy, not spicy. More ‘comforting’ kind of like Butterball, but not butterball exactly. I hope that helps.

yummy.

This is a slow fizzing bomb. It almost made my mouth water with its unfurling cream and golden lustre.

The water feels creamy like golden milk.

I love playing with it and smearing some of the latte froth on my arms.

I couldnt stop looking at this huge bubble that cropped up, it lasted forever!

This is what i call a luxurious bath.

If you havent already, do yourself a favor and find a creamy turmeric latte to drink.

There are even mixes.

The glitter was mesmerizing.

Hear tell Lush is going to be making some super special shower gels soon for us to buy, and Turmeric Latte shower gel is rumoured to be one of them! Lets hope so! I cant imagine how creamy and lushious it will feel.

two shots of the gold sparkle close up and farther away.

Lush has also made a Turmeric Latte massage bar.
