Snowman Lush bathbomb

The lead up to Christmas means only one thing - the Lush Christmas products! Here I thought I'd tell you about this little gem. The Snowman Bath Ballistic.

"Snowman is back with a jolly red scarf and a nose made out of The Carrot bubble bar from last Easter. He also contains cocoa butter which creates a moisturising, creamy soft bath that is great for nourishing and protecting your skin." - see here

The smell: I really liked this smell as to me it's a nice festive scent - it is supposed to be similar to the butterball bath bomb (which has been on my to buy list for a while now). It is a really nice soothing coco butter and vanilla scent which personally I love.

What happened: So as usual with a bath ballistic the snowman fizzed about producing a stream of red from his scarf which continued throughout eventually turning the whole water a slightly faded red colour which I thought was really festive and magical! Although to other bath ballistics I've tried this one didn't last for long - it isn't much smaller than any of the others which is a little disappointing. But the initial fizzing sure was good fun as you can see below

 

  The aftermath: When I got in the bath I felt that this really made my skin so smooth and moisturised, more than I ever thought a bath bomb could. and sooner or later my skin was coated in some kind of substance that made my skin feel amazing - I didn't need to use a body moisturiser afterwards. If you have sensitive or dry skin then this is definitely one you should try out.

Sorry this post took a bit longer for me to finish than expected; I've been having a lot of exams recently :/

But I hope you guys found this useful and I will see you soon :)

Dragon's egg Bath Ballistic | Lush

Today I'm very excited to say that this is my first ever Lush bath product and I thought I would do you guys a little review!

How amazing is the packaging? I love it.

This is Dragon's egg which is a bath ballistic, if you don't know what a bath ballistic is it's basically a normal bath bomb which fizzes and bubbles up to create magic in your bath basically. Each bath bomb at Lush is so different and unique which is fantastic because you never really know what you're going to get ... until you get it. 

"Like an everlasting gobstopper, this ballistic keeps on revealing layer upon layer of surprises. It gives up its gifts in an unfolding drama, leaving you in a bath of molten gold. Along the way you will experience a firework display of colour, a fiery crackle of popping candy, a swirling landscape of creamy foam and a drift of paper dragon scales"

The smell:

 The first thing that came to mind when I smelt this was the sweet refreshers; probably from the Lemon oil and Jasmine absolute. I didn't notice the lemon scent at first but thinking about it now, it was more of a refresher smell which is kinda lemony. I think this is a great combination of scents to create a really nice aroma. Also, I was very surprised at how powerful the smell was, I only expected something faint but this definitely made the bathroom honk (in a good way).

What happened: 

Upon entering the water this started to fizz and produced a milky foam shown in the picture. This then slowly spread to cover the surface of the bath water. After the bath bomb had shrunk some more I suddenly noticed a stream of bright orange bubbles coming out of the ball. This was really cool because actual bubbles were produced compared to the initial fizzing of white - but I didn't see any glitter and the Lush website describes it as gold but all I got was orange. I was too bothered to this because the orange looked great as well.

The after math: 

This bath ballistic left my bath an amazing shade of orange. I was amazed. The picture shows it to be more yellowy but it was actually a darker orange. But it didn't end here - after I let the bath water out it left an unseen orange glitter on the bottom of the bath which I tried to capture on camera, don't really know if you can see that. And then to my mothers delight it very easily washed off without staining the bath at all! All I did was just turn the shower on and rinse it off - easy peasy lemon squeezy. 

Hope you enjoyed this and make sure to look out because things are about to get festive... ;)
