With every purchase from Lush I think that I become
a little bit more and more obsessed… if that is even possible. I’ve still not tested the water in regards to
the Lush Kitchen, I think that that might actually break me and my bank
account! However since trying out lots
of bath bombs for dry skin, and some simply because they look really pretty, I’ve
been trying out some new ones and discovered a brand new favourite.
Yoga Bomb
This is the absolute holy grail of bath bombs! I am in love, I am obsessed, I am attached. It’s not one that I was super crazy about
trying out for a long time, because it doesn’t look particularly fancy, on the
outside it actually looks really quite bland.
But don’t let that put your off!
It smells absolutely gorgeous, it’s a really nice blend of oranges and
sandalwood – a really subtle yet seductive smell. I’m not sure that this fragrance would be one
that everyone would enjoy, but it definitely does it for me. When you pop it in the bath it doesn’t create
a big song and dance like some. Yoga
Bomb fizzles away nice and slowly for around 10 – 15 minutes, creating first an
orange lather – then green, purple and blue swirls as it fizzes away. It’s one that is really great to use as a
proper chill time bath. Grab some
candles, a good magazine and a glass of wine and enjoy!
Big Blue
I was in the mood to try out a new bath bomb last
month, so after much debating and reading up online about all the different
ones, I was pushed towards Big Blue! I
liked the idea of the seaweed, although I didn’t think there would be quite so
much! As Big Blue dissolves in the water
the seaweed fizzes out with it – it turns really soft and mushy and feels
amazing when you rub it into your skin.
It was totally amazing, it smells really beach like although also slightly
tropical… which I think is the lavender and lemon working together. I used this one at night, with my Candy Cane
Lane Yankee candle burning in the background and a couple of my favourite
magazines. Although not particularly
amazing to watch, it does turn the water the most perfect shade of turquoise
blue, and will be one that I will be repurchasing again and again!
There have been a couple of other bath bombs as of
late that I’ve tried out and really enjoyed, however wouldn’t necessarily pick
up every time I’m in need of a bath treat!
Honey Bee smells absolutely amazing and made my skin feel so, so good
afterwards! However it wasn’t the best
bath bomb I’ve ever used – it sunk to the bottom of the bath and didn’t create
any kind of fancy waters. The
Experimenter was another one that smells gorgeous, it created lovely colourful
images in the water and fizzled away for ages.
I particularly like the shape of this bath bomb too, it allowed the
colours to fizzle outwards all at the same time, unlike the round ones that you
need to wait for the layers to break down.
What’s your favourite bath bomb right now?
Until the next one,
