It might be the end of a long day or the start of a tough one, but sometimes, everyone needs to soak in the bath. And while bubbles have their own special spot, the bath bomb has a place in many hearts, adding fun, color, and gorgeous smells to the ultimate me-time moment.
Lush has been making us smell sweet as candy for 30 years now, and some of its bath bombs are so well known, we can visualize them just from hearing their names. Lush is always adding dozens of new ones to its lineup, giving us plenty of bath time choices, but there are a selection that will always be our firm favorites.
Whether you're all for flower power or ready for relaxation, here are 10 Lush bath bombs you need to try now.
1 Avobath
You haven't really done bath bombs until you've tried Avobath ($7). It's got all the retro vibes of the legendary avocado bath suites of yesteryear and all the modern must haves for skincare as it moisturizes, relaxes, and smells fab, too. One reviewer wrote, "it was a real wonder to my skin" and no wonder, there's extra virgin olive oil and lemongrass in there, too.
2 Cheer Up Buttercup
This pretty yellow bath bomb with it's oh-so-perfect patch of cornflowers is a guaranteed mood lifter. Cheer Up Buttercup ($6) contains neroli, lime, and lemon myrtle to raise your spirits, with one reviewer noting, "it is seriously uplifting, moisturizing and relaxing." That sounds like the ticket.
3 Sakura
The legendary Sakura ($7) bath bomb was made for Spring. Inspired by Japanese cherry blossom, it was designed to capture those first real rushes of optimism that the end of Winter brings. It's also got lemon oil and orange flower in it to produce a truly pretty scent.
4 Guardian of the Forest
There is lots of green and plenty of sparkles in Guardian of the Forest ($8). This back-to-nature bath bomb contains rosewood oil, cypress, and oak moss to evoke a forest in your bathroom. One reviewer said, "for those who like natural smells, it's the best!"
5 Twilight
Another of the most famous Lush bath bombs, Twilight ($7) has been helping people catch some Z's for years. There's lots of lavender to calm and soothe and a hint of benzoin and tonka as a reminder of snooze-worthy evening drinks. And plenty of reviewers have said thanks for a good night's sleep after using it, with one writing "truly is an ideal one for before bedtime."
6 Butterball
OK, it might not be the prettiest bath bomb out there, but Butterball ($5) has a magic all of its own. Packed with cocoa butter, it's a mega-moisturizer, while the ylang-ylang helps to relax and soothe. One reviewer said, "I almost felt like I put lotion on my body" after a soak.
7 The Experimenter
The Experimenter ($9) shakes up the bath bomb with its geometric shape and solid color blocking. It promises vibrancy and more than delivers while the scent goes from vetivert through to vanilla and tonka, summed up as "earthy, woody and refreshing, too."
8 Big Blue
It's big and it's blue, and it's been hitting bath tubs for years. The Big Blue ($7) takes you to the beach while you're in the bath with its star ingredient, arame seaweed, softening skin. The Big Blue also has sea salt to soften and lemon and lavender oils to clear your skin and your mind. And you get absolutely no prizes for guessing what color it turns the water.
9 Dragon's Egg
It might look as pretty as a picture but the promise is that the Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb ($7) will send golden flames whizzing across your bath — obviously, just the color of them and not actual real fire. The Dragon's Egg is scented with lemon and bergamot oils with fans calling it "the most moisturizing bath bomb" they'd tried.
10 Sex Bomb
Perhaps still the most famous of all, Sex Bomb ($8) is still pleasing the punters after all these years. It produces fizzing purple and pink water that smells of ylang-ylang, clary sage, and supersensual jasmine. It's affectionately named "an oldie but a goodie," and as Lush turns 30, you can't say fairer than that.
