Your guide to Lush bath products ♡

If you're new to Lush, or are used to using the same products every time you order, you may find there are hidden treasures perfect for you that you've never tried before!  I've sorted bath bombs, luxury bath melts, and bubble bars into 4 possible categories, Relaxing and Calming, Uplifting and Invigorating, Visually Gorgeous, and Great for your Skin. I've used every bath product available from the most recent booklet from Lush, but there may be some new or seasonal products online that aren't in this post.

I should mention that all lush products have a little bit of all categories in them, but I've divided them to show their specific benefits. For example, all Lush products will nourish your skin, but some are more specially designed to leave your skin amazingly smooth and silky.

1) Twilight 2) Think Pink 3) Amandopondo 4) Floating Island 5) Rose Jam Bubbleroon 6) Dreamtime 7) Ickle Baby Bot 8) Big Blue 9) Blackberry Bath Bomb 10) A French Kiss 11) Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds 12) Dorothy 

The relaxing and calming bath products contain oils that calm and soothe your mind. Lavender oil, for example, is a great sleep aid, and is a main ingredient in most of these products. The Ickle Baby Bot (7) and Dreamtime (6) are specifically promoted to help sleep! If you're more into a bath that will help you clear your mind but not send you off to sleep, the Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds (11) and Twilight (1) create a soothing environment from the scent and look of the product.

All of these products have different effects on your bath water, most colour the water the same colour as the product. The bubble bars are designed to create a bath full of beautiful bubbles - remember to run these under your tap and break them apart to create bubbles and not just drop them in like a bath bomb or a melt.


1) Pop In The Bath 2) Tisty Tosty 3) Sakura 4) Fizzbanger 5) Dragon's Egg 6) Green Bubbleroon 7) Avobath 8) Sunnyside 9) You've Been Mangoed 10) Karma 11) Brightside 12) Phoenix Rising 13) Space Girl 

The Uplifting and Invigorating products are designed to give you a fresh burst of energy, and help restore positive and energetic feelings. Most of these products have a floral, citrus, or fruity scent. These are all perfect for when you feel like you need a boost in life. You've Been Mangoed (9) and Karma bubble bar (10) have sweet and fruity scent, and contain energising citrus oils, including orange, lemon, and lime. 

If you'd prefer a strong floral scent, Sakura (3) and Tisty Tosty (2) both contain jasmine absolute alongside other oils from flowers. If you want something uplifting but without any strong floral scents, Space Girl (13) and Phoenix Rising (12) are perfect products. Not only do they have a lovely scent (Space Girl specifically has the scent of Parma Violet sweets!) but they give your bath water exciting colours and patterns. For a full effect, fill your bath first and let it settle until the water is completely still, then place in a bath bomb and let it fizz away to create beautiful and unique patters in the water.


1) Sunnyside 2) Granny Takes A Dip 3) Karma bubble bar 4) Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds 5) Big Blue 6) Think Pink 7) Space Girl 8) The Comforter 9) Dragon's Egg 10) Twilight 

These bath bombs create the most striking and beautiful patterns and bubbles in the water. For full effect, when using a bath bomb use as I stated above - let the water rest still and then place it in and allow it to move around in still water. For the bubble bars crumble and rub them under running water to create amazing bubbles. 

Sunnyside (1) creates beautiful bubbles, and turns your bathwater into a deep shimmering gold colour. The other bubble bars, Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds (4), Karma (3), and The Comforter (8), all create bubbles but also give your bathwater a deep colour, depending on which product you use. The Karma (3) especially turns your water bright orange and looks great against the bright white bubbles.

Granny Takes A Dip (2) consists of almost psychedelic colours, and is the most striking Lush product! If you're interesting in turning your bath crazy colours then this product is perfect for you! If you prefer a more subtle - but still gorgeous - effect on the water, Space Girl (7) consists of a combination of deep reds, pinks, and purples that create a cosmic effect.


1) Yuzu And Cocoa Bubbleroon 2) Avobath 3) Ceridwen's Cauldron 4) Green Bubbleroon 5) Honey Bee 6) Dragon's Egg 7) Butterball 8) Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment 9) Sex Bomb 10) Creamy Candy

Last but not least, the collection of products above are specially designed to leave your skin smooth and silky. If you've used Lush products before, you know how soft some of the products can leave your skin! 

The Butterball (8) and Avobath (2) are simple looking products, but will soften your skin, and allow you to relax in the scent of vanilla and lemongrass. Ceridwen's Cauldron (3) is designed so you can soak the melt in your bath and allow it to infuse the water, and then soothe your skin with the product by using it on your arms and legs. 

All of the Bubbleroon products are great for your skin, but Yuzu and Cocoa Bubbleroon (1) contains coconut oil and shea butter which will do wonders for dry skin that needs moisturising. It also has the scent of chocolate orange which is one of my favourites.
