Back in 2019, I fell under the spell of the purple and silver swirls at Lush. Today, I’m bringing you an updated, completely honest Lush Goddess Bath Bomb review to see if this premium luxury soak is still worth your money today.
Considering it’s been a while since my last bath bomb review, I thought it was the perfect time to add another one to the mix. Today, we are diving deep into a gorgeous, celestial soak that I couldn’t wait to use.
Welcome to my completely updated, honest Lush Goddess Bath Bomb review!
If the name or the gorgeous purple aesthetic rings a bell, that’s because this specific product was famously inspired by Ariana Grande’s iconic God Is A Woman music video. After seeing the stunning purple and silver swirls on screen, Lush actually brought that exact bath art to life. Originally launched as a limited exclusive, it quickly secured a permanent spot on the shelves.
But with recent price hikes across the beauty world, does it still deserve a spot in your pamper routine? Let’s find out.
The Price: A Premium Luxury Soak
First things first: let’s address the elephant in the room. This is one expensive bath bomb.
When Goddess first launched, it sat at £5.95. Today, it will set you back £9.00 for a single soak. Because it sits at such a premium price tag, it’s definitely a special-occasion treat rather than an everyday bath companion.
You could technically try to chop this in half to get two baths out of it, but because it is uniquely dipped on one side with moisturising butter, one of your baths might end up lacking the full effect. To get the true, intended experience, it’s best to use it all at once.
The Scent: Oudh, Jasmine, and Sandalwood
If you love complex, sophisticated scents, the ingredient list here is an absolute dream. This bath bomb contains a gorgeous blend of:
-
Oudh Oil & Sandalwood Oil (for a rich, grounding base)
-
Jasmine Absolute (for a delicate floral lift)
-
Fair Trade Colombian Cocoa Butter & Shea Butter (for ultimate skin hydration)
It is definitely not the strongest, most overwhelming scent Lush has on offer, but it is incredibly beautiful. It is distinctly floral from the jasmine, but at the same time, it has a warm, musky, and almost sultry undertone thanks to the oudh and sandalwood.
Once it’s fully dissolved in the bath, I found the scent throws quite faint and subtle. If you prefer a bath that fills your entire house with scent, this might feel a little quiet, but it’s perfect if you want a relaxing, non-overpowering soak before bed.
In the Water: Lilac Swirls and Deep Purple Bath Art
Goddess is a incredibly fast fizzer with a focused, elegant colour scheme. As soon as it hits the water, it immediately erupts into frothy fizzes of vibrant purple, lilac, and white.
If you are a fan of purple, you are going to absolutely love the bath art this one creates. It slowly transforms your tub into a deep, mesmerising violet colour.
The real standout feature while you’re soaking is the texture of the water. You can physically feel the Fair Trade Colombian cocoa butter melting into the bath. It wraps your skin in moisture, meaning you can easily skip the heavy body lotion once you hop out and towel off.
The Final Verdict: Is It Actually Worth It?
Overall, this is a lovely, deeply relaxing bath bomb. It looks beautiful sitting on your bathroom shelf, puts on a stunning display in the water, and leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft.
However, looking at it today, it’s hard to fully justify the £9 price tag for a single bath unless you are treating yourself or buying it as a gorgeous gift for an Ariana Grande fan. The pop-culture correlation and high-end essential oils definitely bump the price up into luxury territory.
Have you tried this luxury soak yet?

Thank you for reading!
Been wondering about whether I should buy this and I think I might just because of how pretty it is!

I’m glad it’s helped you decide! It’s such a pretty bath bomb xx
It definitely looks it!

I was wondering how this bath bomb was since they announced it a few months ago! I love the idea of it being Ariana Grande inspired, but you’re right, it is quite expensive for just one bath bomb. The colors look really pretty though! Thanks for sharing your review! 🙂
(as I was writing this comment, God is a Woman actually came on shuffle haha)

It’s such a great idea isn’t it! Yeah, I think it being inspired by Ariana has put the price a little higher. It is a pretty bath bomb though. No problem, thank you for stopping by! Haha no way, what a coincidence xx
Oh my looks so nice and so pleasing! I never had anything from Lush before. And can’t get bath bombs as I don;t have a bathtub only shower 🙁
It’s such a lovely bath bomb! Ah no way, they do so many fab things. Aw no!xx
It’s so pretty!
I haven’t tried new lush in a long time
Candice
It really does look good in the water! I hope you’re able to pick up some bits you like xx
The first product I tried from Lush was a bath bomb – my husband (then boyfriend) bought a few for me to try and I came out in a rash so haven’t tried any more since then! I bet this smells amazing though! xx
Aw that was ice of him! Oh god, I hope you’re okay! I guess it must be one of the ingredients! It really does smell great xx
It looks really pretty! I love your pictures, they are so beautiful! I wish I could use bath bombs but unfortunately, I don’t have a bathtub in my bathroom. Great review x
It really does! Thank you so much. Aw no, I don’t know how you cope haha! Thank you xx
I haven’t used a Lush bath bomb in such a long time! I can’t believe the price though. Crazy! The colours are so nice though and I love how luxurious my skin feels after using a bath bomb. So soft and smooth x
Lauren
No one seems to talk about them as much as they once did! Yeah the price is a bit much. Totally agree with you xx
Looks so pretty! Thanks for sharing this.

Goodness you’re right, it is expensive! That said, the ingredients sound absolutely gorgeous and it looks so pretty – I might treat myself! x

It is a lot of money for one bath bomb. Yes the ingredients are great and it smells amazing. I hope you love it xx
I really need to try Lush, and the bath bombs look amazing! My son would love these.
Jennifer
They have so many great ones!xx
I love Lush’s Goddess bath bomb – used it a couple of weeks ago and loved it.

It’s a good one isn’t it! Glad you liked it xx
If I was into bath bombs I would definitely get this! I think everyone loves Ariana at the moment!! It looks super pretty!
Louise xx
It’s a really pretty one! It seems like they do!xx

It’s definitely a pretty one! No problem, thank you for stopping by xx
This post reminded me to pick up a few Lush bath bombs soon! I love the colour of this one xx
I hope you’re able to pick some up soon! It’s a really pretty colour xx
Can you believe I’ve never tried a lush bath bomb?! I prefer showers over baths but just to try one of these I think I’ll give baths a go, these bath bombs look so pretty! x
Ah no way! You can get some really pretty bath bombs that turn the water such fun colours. I hope you find one you love xx
Ooh it sounds like a lovely bath bomb! I love anything purple so I’d definitely enjoy this xx
Gemma • Gemma Etc . ❤️
It is such a pretty one, and you’ll love this one!xx
It is so pretty! I love how it looks in the water and I haven’t been to Lush in a while so may give it a go! xx
https://paulamarieee.blogspot.com
It really is! It’s definitely a pretty one. I hope you love it, if you give it a try xx
I love bath bombs this colour but I’d not heard of this one before! It’s so pretty but definitely expensive isn’t it? I love Lush products but very rarely buy them now as they go so quickly and tend to always be over £5 now! xx
Tiffany x http://www.foodandotherloves.co.uk
They’re really pretty aren’t they? Yeah, the price is a little bit too high for what you get. I don’t blame you at all, it’s a lot of money!xx
I LOVE the smell of these and the baths looks so dreamy and cosy its making me want to have a bubble bath! Can you believe I’ve never tried one? I usually use rose scented bubble bath but considering I’ve bought my friends some such as the soap and glory ones I should really try one myself lol
They smell so good, don’t they?! Ah no way! If you want a bath bomb Lush do some floral smelling ones too. Ah Soap and Glory is great, the products always smell so good. I hope you love it, if you try it out xx
That is really cool that Lush made a bath bomb inspired by her music video! It sounds like it smells amazing with the Jasmine, and the purple and white looks really pretty. The only thing that ever stops me from getting their bath bombs is the price. It’s expensive for just one bath, and I once tried to cut one in half and it just wouldn’t work. But I may treat myself to one soon. Thank you for the honest review!
x Kara
It’s a really good idea! It smells so good and the end colour is really pretty. Yeah, they’re getting a little ridiculous now, it’s too much money. They’re hard to cut aren’t they?! I don’t know how people do it. I hope you find one you love. No problem!xx
Oh that colour is so refreshing. Might have to grab this.
It’s a really pretty colour, I hope you love it xx
I like that the shea butter is there to moisturize the skin. The smell sounds fantastic! Thanks for the honest review! XO, Ellese
It’s a great ingredient for sure! It smells great, and it’s no problem xx
Oh my gosh I haven’t purchased anything from Lush in ages but jeez that price for one bath bomb! I love the colour it produces
They’ve gotten so expensive recently, it’s such a shame! It’s such a pretty colour xx
This looks so lovely, I might have to pick one up!

I’m obsessed with the photos in this post! Lush bath bombs are the best. I love how you’ve captured this one! It looks and sounds lovely. I think it’s so cool that it’s inspired by Ariana Grande.
Thank you lovely! They are really great. It is a lovely bath bomb xx
I am such a huge fan of LUSH! Their bath bombs are a must have, I particularly love those that have glitter in them. Beautiful review sweetie! xx

Their bath bombs are really great, I agree with you there! Yes the glitter is always a fab addition. Thank you lovely xx
Aw great review, I loved reading your thoughts on this, I’ve wanted to give it a try for so long! The little dipped design is so cute, it reminds me of a moon and I adore the concept 😀 agghhh you convinced me with the gorgeous photos, but I can’t quite justify the price yet, I’d love to try it one day xx
elizabeth ♡
Thank you! It is a lovely bath bomb for sure and the dipped design is so cute. I’m glad you like the look of it, but yes it is a little too expensive. I hope you’re able to try it xx
Ohhh this is such a gorgeous bath bombs! Good bath bombs can be pretty pricey so I’m always looking out for detailed reviews like these to help me pick! Gorgeous post Hun x
Grace Louise
I’m glad you like it too! That’s true, and I’m glad you like the review. Thank you so much, I hope this post has helped you xx
It looks amazing! Love that its inspired by Ariana Grande xx
I’m glad you like it! Yes, it’s such a fun idea xx
Hey Great blog post , I found the bath bomb when I tried it to be a little disappointing, not a fan of the smell and the price !! Great blog post xx
Thank you so much! I’m sorry you didn’t fully enjoy it! Yeah the price is a little too much. Thank you xx
Bath Bombs are so fun and nice, unfortunately, they never fizz in my bath. Even those from Lush because they fizz prematurely due to the humid.

Ah no way! I never factored in how humidity would effect a bath bomb!xx
The colour of this bath bomb is divine, and I love that it contains cocoa butter too. I want a bath so bad right now, but I need to buy this bath bomb first. Great post Hannah, hope you are having a good start to your week xxx

It’s such a pretty colour! Yes, it’s a fab addition. I hope you’re able to pick a bath bomb up soon. Thank you, and the exact same thing to you xx
This Lush bath bomb looks amazing and I love its purple x
Laura
It’s such a pretty one! Glad you like it xx
You’re right about this one being a bit expensive for a bath bomb – as we said before, Lush is getting rather pricey… I love the colour of the bath after popping it in though! The scents aren’t really my thing either (I’m more of a fruity, fresh person when it comes to perfumes, body sprays and just everything in general) but great review as usual darl! x

Yeah, it’s definitely on the expensive side, which is a shame! Yeah, it’s a pretty colour and great that it’s inspired by Ariana Grande. I get what you mean, this one may not be for you then. Thank you lovely xx
I’m loving all the blue tones in your post! (Currently have a thing about navy and blue interior trends)! This bath bomb looks and sounds so dreamy! Fab post. x
Samsntha
Thank you! I’m glad you like the look of it. Yes blue and navy interior is so cute! It’s such a pretty one. Thank you xx
This sounds amazing!! I need to grab pronto!
x
Glad you like the sound of it! Hope you love it, if you give it a try xx
Goddess is one of my favourites at the moment! There’s now a perfume range too! I can tell you that the price is £5.95 as one of the ingredients (Oud oil) is really expensive to obtain and costs more in weight that gold does! Lush are not marketing it as a correlation to Ariana Grande – hence the name change to Goddess! I loved your review and I hope this helps xx

It’s so beautiful isn’t it?! Glad you’re liking it. Oooh that’s good news. That is very interesting thank you for letting me know. Thank you for letting me know xx
Hiya Hannah,
I love reading these posts, and I adore your honesty about this one! I didn’t know this was linked to Ariana but now that I think about it, it’s so fitting to her and her brand! Your blog is absolutely so beautiful and you should be so proud of it lovely!
All my love,
Casey x
Hiya! I am so glad you like reading them! From what I’ve been told they’re not marketing it as that, but a lot of people have seen similarities. Thank you so much xx
Wow that’s quite expensive for a bath bomb, but I love these images 🙂 it’s great to share a review before others want to buy this one x
It’s definitely pricey, but it is a pretty one. I am so glad you think so xx
This bath bomb looks awesome and beautiful too. Thank you for sharing your review.
So glad you like the look of it! It’s no problem, thank you for stopping by xx
This sounds great! I love the description of the scent and colour in the bathtub! I might treat my sister to it as she loves them, thanks for sharing x
It is a lovely bath bomb that’s for sure. Aw, I hope she loves it! It’s no problem, thank you for stopping by xx
This sounds like my kind of bath bomb, I love the colour and scent – will need to give it a go xx
It’s a good one! I hope you love it xx
This is really pretty but I think Lush are getting too expensive for themselves!🌸
I know what you mean, the price increases are not the one xx
This is genuinely gorgeous bath bomb I’ve used one before and why I do think that £6 is a little bit excessive, it was definitely worth it x
It’s definitely a pretty one! I know what you mean, sometimes it’s a nice treat xx
My 15 yr old daughter loves this bath bomb. Over the last few years we have bought her a lot of them!
Aw, I can definitely see why! It’s super pretty xx
Great post! I’m not that much of a fan of bath bombs, but this one looks so pretty. I think in dollars, it’s about $6.50 which is pretty expensive for a bath bomb haha. But I’m glad you liked it, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Oh wow, yeah that is pricey. It’s no problem, thank you for stopping by xx
Gosh that does sound a lot of money for one bath bomb but then I have no idea how much they generally cost as I only have a shower! Maybe it would make a nice gift for someone who enjoys them and Ariana Grande.
It is a lot, and it’s a shame how the price seems to keep on going up. Yes definitely agree!xx
That’s such a pretty bath bomb and I love the shade of blue (or possibly dark purple?) it makes the water go! x

It’s such a beautiful colour isn’t it?! So unique xx
