We don’t want to put ideas in your head, so we’ll just plant a seed. Why not pop this fruity green treat in the bath? An apple a day will send troubles away as you sow uplifting neroli, bright lemon and Brazilian orange oils into the water. Make it the apple of your eye.
Melt warning: this product is made with ingredients which allow it to soften at body temperature, and so it prefers not to be posted to hot, sunny climates.
Lush Description: Pop, pop, fizz, fizz, oh what a spectacle this is! Sparkler was made to make bathtime as exciting as a night filled with fireworks. Handmade with popping candy, it’ll crackle in an explosion of color, moving around the tub and turning your water into a fiery, shimmering display! It also features one of our most popular fragrances: Rose Jam! Its delicate and floral aroma will fill the room and leave your skin kissed with its beautiful scent.
Review: I like the Sparkler. The color is surprisingly yellow considering that it’s scent is Rose Jam according to Lush. This Sparkler ballistic leaves a good scent of Rose Jam/Rose Argan in the bath. While i don’t like the colors in Sparkler as much as it’s purple cousin ‘Northern Lights’ ballistic, it is beautiful to watch, with it’s gold and yellow foam and sparkles. I’m glad i tried this. I might buy one more.
Review: This ballistic was discontinued about as quickly as it came out. Loads of people liked it on the forum but I guess it just didn’t sell at all and was pulled a few months after introduction. It smells like the perfume Ginger, highly floral rose but it has a strong lemony top note also. I wouldn’t normally like this combo but Lush also includes Sandalwood, Mimosa (like is in 17 Cherry Tree Lane soap and Sakura ballistic) , and also some red mandarin oil. So while i don’t hate it, i don’t love it either. It’s quite strong when fresh and the red mandarin orange oil and sandalwood is covered up by the fresh ginger and lemon scent, but when this ballistic mellows a bit it’s lovely. It makes bright yellow water. 3 stars.

Here’s a video i made of this bath bomb in the tub
See my demo video below. Initially Cyanide Pill has a fruity creamy, comforting kind of scent, then comes a bitter almond note, almost makes me wrinkle my nose. Luckily I smell a vague cherryish note too.
There is a silver glitter in the middle of this yellow bath bomb, which disperses into the water and looks pretty and glittery. Lush North America made a soap in 2015 called “Hands of Friendship’ which shares it’s scent with the Cyanide Pill. Lush also made a bath bomb called ’13 States’ with the same scent. I took a pic of them below. Additionally Lush also made a silver bath oil called “Delight” (I took a pic below) in the same scent.

When Lush had a gallery space built to introduce their new Gorilla III range of perfumes from their new “Death and Decay” series, they had a gallery room for each perfume they were introducing, including site and sound to match the perfume. Cyanide perfume was one of the gallery displays. However Lush never released the Cyanide perfume, turns out they only used the scent for the gallery display. We’re told that this new Cyanide pill bath bomb has the scent of that Gorilla III ‘Cyanide’ gallery room. I’ll have to try another one to make sure but i’m not sure i like the smell of this one. 2015 3.50 gpb / $5.75
Turns out I dont hate it, but i dont love it. It sure is cute though, looking like a cyanide pill.
I took this picture below of the two Pills that Lush has made over the years. 😊
The Lush bath oil in my picture below called ‘Delight‘ has the same scent.
These bath bombs below, including Cyanide Pill, were first introduced in 2014, at the time they were exclusive to the Lush Oxford Street Superstore.
Lush description: Slide into the danger zone Caution! This intoxicating almond bomb should wear a warning sign. Detonate in water for a mercury silver slick.
Here i show it dissolving to show the silver in the middle.
Review: This is one of the best bath bomb I’ve ever tried from Lush If I’m not mistaken. I love the combo of the two Lush products together. Lush doesn’t do this combining very often. Lush “Fun with a twist” fun bar comes to mind.
This bath bomb is a slooooow fizzer which is nice because it lasts the whole bath. And it’s more of a foamer than a fizzer.
The combination of the lovely orange “The Olive Branch” shower gel scented side, and the sunny yellow “Happy Hippy” shower gel grapefruit scented side is a FABULOUS scent.
It was actually softening to my skin. I dont’ know, not softening in a “Butterball” way, but in a “bicarbonate” way. Absolutely lovely.
The scent stayed on my skin through the next day.
Noriko with Lush had created this one.
2006 Lush Times description: New shape, new concept, two of our favorite fragrances combined by Noriko to bring a bit of sunshine to gloomy days. Pop a Happy Pill to cheer yourself up, but pop it in the bath instead of a glass of water. The orange side is the mandarin fragrance of Olive Branch and the yellow side is our gloriously grapefruity Happy Hippy. It’ll keep you going until the spring flowers show their smiling faces.

Lush Times magazine: Every Christmas needs a cracker! Crackersnap is a new, cheery, lemongrass Bath Bomb that ‘cracks’ wide open in your tub, turning the water bright green and revealing a few extra treats – just like a real Christmas cracker! Pop on your party hat, tell yourself a joke and round up that crocodile for future bathing fun times.
Review: This has the wonderful “Avobath” scent, with lotsof lemongrass and bergamot. It makes popping sounds as it dissolves. They were fragile via mail order but then Lush started putting them in little plastic cases and that’s why mine was not broken when it arrived all the way from England.
Here’s a demo i recorded of the Crackersnap bath bomb in the tub.
this is a nice citrussy smelling shower gel: lime, lemon and grapefruit with just a small touch of sweetness from honey water.
Review: This is light and lemony, it smells just like Lush “Bohemian” soap, not like Slammer. It’s lighter and so lemony and nice, sunshiny and light for morning.
Lush Times 2005 description: You’ll be needing Back For Breakfast if you’re a ‘do I really have to get up already?’ sort of a person who doesn’t have a choice in the matter. The lemons, limes, grapefruits and sweet benzoin essential oil wake you gently but firmly, plunking you back in the land of the living ready to do what you have to do. We use fresh organic juices for high strength wakey-wakeyness and add the essential oils – lime to stimulate, lemon to refresh and grapefruit to revive you – for a concentrated boost of alertness. Ooh! Almost forgot!! They are also fabulous cleansers, gentle but firm on the skin too.
5 out f 5 rating. This is my favorite of the Showders at Oxford Street.
it smells so wonderfully lemony. Not fake lemon but real lemon with just a touch of sweetness. Here’s a video i made of this showder and what it looks like up close

Lush site description:Sweet oranges, tangerine and lemon essential oils & a gleaming golden glow to put a smile on your face.
This is like swimming in orange juice, real orange juice not fake neon orange smelling and orange colored drink. It’s seemed to be almost thick and rich with ochre colored shimmer. It makes very fragrant water. The bar is an ochre color throughout. There is a lot of glitter left in the tub after the water has drained. It looks like tan colored sand but if you look closer and in the light, it’s all golden glitter. So pretty.
Here’s what the water looked like
I give this a 5 out of 5 rating.
