A Different Kind of Lush Bath Bomb
I had been looking forward to giving this particular treat a go for such a long time. Just look at it! The shape is completely different to anything I’ve tried before. Most of the classic bath bombs from Lush are perfectly round, so throwing this little rocket-shaped curveball into the lineup was a genius move.
It is slightly smaller than their traditional spheres, but the friendly price tag totally reflects that. Coming in at a budget friendly £2.95 instead of the standard £3.95+.
Let’s see if this Lush bath bomb review lives up to the cosmic hype!
The Comparisons & The Cosmic Scent
If You Love Intergalactic…
Design-wise, this shares a massive similarity with the iconic Intergalactic bath bomb, keeping the exact same deep space theming and celestial colouring. However, if you find Intergalactic a bit too intense due to the sheer volume of peppermint and glitter, Rocket Science is an incredible, toned down alternative. It still contains a bit of sparkle, but nowhere near enough to stain your bath or leave your skin covered in shimmer for a fortnight.
The Scent Profile
I absolutely love the fragrance of this one. It feels incredibly fresh but carries a lovely, subtle sweetness to finish. It features:
-
Sicilian Lemon Oil
-
Bergamot Oil
It isn’t overpowering in the slightest, and I love that the formula leans heavily onto the clean, crisp citrus side. It is a beautiful scent, that leaves the whole bathroom smelling amazing.
The Performance: In the Water
Once dropped into the tub, it immediately fizzes away, turning the water a gorgeous, deep shade of space-blue. I was genuinely surprised to see a sudden pop of bright neon pink emerging right from the centre of the rocket.
There is also a very slight tinge of yellow trailing from the booster tail at the beginning, but it blends out quickly and doesn’t impact the end colour. Another adorable surprise is that little rice paper stars start dispersing across the water as it melts. They don’t last long before dissolving away, but it’s a lovely touch.
The Only Downside
This little rocket takes a long time to completely dissolve. It behaves a bit like the old Lush Jelly Bomb range, taking well over ten minutes to fully finish fizzing. This might be a non issue, but as a blogger it means it takes longer to get the photos.
The Final Verdict
When everything has finally melted down, the end result is a stunning, tranquil shade of deep blue. You really can’t go wrong with a blue bath. They always look so pretty and inviting.
Most importantly, it did not stain the bath, which completely makes my day. Nothing ruins a relaxing, hot soak quite like having to grab a sponge and start scrubbing the tub immediately afterwards.
With only a minimal amount of fine glitter in the formula, everything rinsed cleanly down the drain. For £2.95, it’s a fun, beautiful, and affordable staple.
Let’s chat in the comments!

I got really excited about this bath bomb because of the shape and colour but for some reason I really couldn’t warm to the smell so I didn’t pick it up! I’m still tempted to go back and get it to give it a chance, especially as it’s super cheap compared to other lush bombs and it looks super pretty too! Absolutely love these pictures of it in action!!

The shape is so fun! Could you not, I must admit it’s not my favourite Lush scent, but it’s not the worst. Got to love the cheaper ones haha! Thank you, it looks great in the water xx
I can’t say I’ve tried this bath bomb. I’m pretty rubbish with lush products at the moment, I have none and I don’t feel like I’ll be getting any time soon. However, I have just repurchased with Snow Fairy shower gel as I use this in my bath for all the bubbles. I love a good bubble bath! xx
Taylor Jane ox
Ah oh no! I still need to pick up a bottle of Snow Fairy, as it’s such a classic! Bubble Baths are the best too xx
I need to try this as the scent seems like something I would enjoy and I absolutely love the colours of this bath bomb <3
Lots of love,
Agnese
It does smell nice, and the colours are beautiful xx
Oh this looks so pretty! I have to say I did love the intergalactic one but it was so ridiculously glittery I couldn’t cope, it got everywhere!

It sounds like you’ll love this one, as there definitely isn’t as much glitter, but you still get the colour xx
Ahhhh!! I wish I had a bath!! I would love to soak in a bath full of that bath bomb, it looks like it would be lush! I need to stock up before I go back to my mums for Christmas!
You don’t have a bath, how do you cope haha?! There are so many great products out now too xx
This bath bomb is so cute and pretty! I’m definitely going to have to get this one.

It really is, it’s a beautiful colour! It’s definitely a good one because it’s cheaper and less cleaning. Haha, sorry about that hun, at least it’s not the expensive one!xx
My favourite lush bath bomb is definitely twilight and tend to stay away from citrus scents since my nose can’t handle it haha
Twilight is such a good one, the smell is incredible! Citrus scents aren’t one of my favourites either xx
I actually bought this bath bomb the other day and I’m super excited to try it after reading this!!
