What can be sweet and romantic on Valentine’s Day for single people? A bubbly splash in good company with Ladybird (Ladybug) or another sugary new bath product by Lush Cosmetics.
Do you like bath products with a face and two big googly eyes? Ladybird Lush is ready to fly in your bathtub to colour your day and will it with foam.
Lush Ladybird/Ladybug: product & packaging
Labybird, called Ladybug in the US, is a Lush bubble bar, a solid soap that can be crumbled under warm running water.
I usually match a bubble bar with my current creamy bath foam, that’s to say: I use a bubble bar simply for its bubble cloud, colour and scent. Lush fans all over the world go even further! they mix and match portions of Lush bubble bars, bath bombs, drops of shower gels, and a bit of bath melt and share their magic potions online.

Zero packaging, all product! This bubble bar comes in the shape of a gigantic purple and red ladybug and it’s bigger than the palm of my hand!
It’s so big that can be divided into two or three parts, that are two or three baths, and it easily crumbles and bubbles.
Ladybird’s scent
What’s the most striking feature, what remains impressed in my mind, is Ladybird’s scent: sweet, floral and fresh. It’s such an energising and particular mix that’s vaguely reminiscent of energy drinks. Its scent is floral and minty, it pinches my nose. Its secret is geranium and peppermint oils…
It tinges the water with an orange-y red shade and creates enough bubbles, it leaves the skin soft but not for a long time.
PROS:
- it can be portioned and used for more baths,
- is cruelty-free
- has natural ingredients.
CONS:
- overwhelming scent (subjective),
- it has a high price (outside the UK).
My Final Thoughts on Lush limited editions
I think Ladybird is fun and I love immersing myself in that colourful waters but its scent isn’t my cup of tea.
I’m not a romantic girl and I prefer other kinds of scents: sweet but warm, totally spicy or fruity (if particular). I’m open to experiments and to starting “sensory adventures” in unusual combinations of notes like those of Lord of Misrule shower cream (Vanilla+Patchouli+Black Pepper) and Don’t Rain On My Parade shower gel (Vanilla+Violet+Ylang Ylang+Sandalwood), but floral and sweet olfactory notes aren’t for me.
Ladybird/Ladybug is a limited edition bubble bar and is now available online and in Lush shops worldwide. Prices vary depending on your country.
If I could go to the closest Lush shop I would go to know some Valentine’s day specials. Not for necessities but for a pure matter of curiosity: Kiss Me Quick, a paper soap like Asian ones, and the luxury bath melt Two Hearts Beating As One for its creative shape.
I had two ladybugs, I gave one away to my work pal… I love giving you something that can bring happiness and a smile, don’t you?
Ladybird… would I recommend it? Sincerely, it depends on you: I find it pricey and I’d suggest personally taking a sniff to discover your “own compatibility with Miss Ladybird”.
