When a company bodly declares their latest product as FUN. Well, it had better be hadn’t it?
LUSH’s latest invention announces itself with the promise that this multi-tasking bar of playdough-esque sudsy stuff will bring a new dimension to bath-times, hand-washing times, and even washing-your-bike times. You see, FUN is marketed as multi-tasking to the max – it’s basically the perfect present for bath-dodging sculptors everywhere.
I don’t have a bath-dodging sculptor in the house – it’s all I can do to keep both Mr. L and Leila out of the bathroom. Infact, we have a self-administered timer system for baths and showers lest we prunify ourselves to death with the sheer amount of skin/water contact.
FUN comes in a range of FIVE colours, each offering a different scent to enhance the bathtime experience (descriptions below taken from the website):
Pink: Jam packed with the fruity, candy smells of childhood.
Red: Mandarin and orange essential oils will make you think of sunny orange groves and freshly squeezed juice. Brings a bit of summer sun to your bath and play time.
Blue: Relax and feel ready for sleep when you wash with this mix of lavender, Moroccan chamomile and chamomile blue essential oils. The perfect bedtime bath.
Green: A citrus burst of tangy lime and lemon essential oils will wake you up, keep you feeling fresh and focused and help you play for hours.
Yellow: Creamy vanilla tones evoke thoughts of seaside ice creams, granny’s baking and home comforts.
I set Mr. L the task of deciding whether Lush’s latest invention really was as fun as it ought to be…. let’s see how he did shall we?
“It keeps crumbling”, he grumbled as he tried to mould it into the Eiffel Tower.
“Baby steps.” I advised, “Try for something a little less ambitious…”
… to be honest, I think he could have tried a bit bloody harder.
We agreed that on the FUN scale, it scored a not overly impressive 6 but it did smell pretty delicious. Ultimately, it was more fun than brushing your teeth but not as fun as eating a Boost bar (we had to eat a Boost bar just to check – we’re nothing if not scientific about these things).
We haven’t tried FUN wet yet… but we have a very willing (and slightly curious) test applicant at our disposal – but more on that tomorrow.
LUSH FUN is avaialable online and instore now, priced at £5.00 per bar – 10p from each sale of FUN goes to help children affected by the Fukushima disaster.

I know the clever lass who made the scents for the pink and the yellow funs. 🙂
I hope fun is good because I want to buy some for my daughter’s Christmas stocking.
my kids would absolutely categorically confirm that FUN is without a doubt, a lot of fun!
I’ve got the red one (I thought it was orange!) and I really like the smell of it and the colour it turns the bathwater. It sticks to your hands if your hands are even the slightest bit wet, though.
[…] with the adult testing done and dusted… Lush’s new FUN bars had yet to inspire a huge amount of whooping, or any of the sort […]
