Lush Lust: Bath Bombs!

Bath bombs are so fun. They change the water color, make you smell great, and soften the skin. They just take a bath from blah to an experience. 

Honeybee: One of the first bombs I’ve ever had from Lush. I have mixed feelings about this. It smells fantastic (like Honey I Washed the Kids soap) and makes your skin nice, however, it turns the bath water yellow and kind of looks like... you know. It also has Rhassoul Mud in it to purify your skin, and that gets everywhere. I just use my sprayer to clean my tub after a bath, but if you don’t have a sprayer, that would be a horrible cleanup. The mud is also very bad for your hair. I like to dunk my hair in the tub with other bombs, so I tried it with this one. Never again. It made my hair so unmanageable, stiff, and tangly. Keep your hair out of the tub with this one, and you’ll be safe. I had to wash my hair and condition it twice (two different showers) to fully recover. At least there’s no glitter. ($6.40/6.3 oz)

Butterball: This one is often raved about, but I thought it was nothing special. I may even hate this one. It doesn’t smell that good, not bad though, and it has these little chunks of cocoa butter that melt in your bath leaving you with greasy skin and an even greasier tub to clean. If I’m taking a bath, I do it to relax. I don’t want an added stressor of having to scrub my tub later. It’s also really small. I like the big ones. Again, at least there’s no glitter. ($4.95/3.1 oz)

Golden Slumbers: Just a lovely lavender scented bomb. This is very relaxing and puts me right to sleep. It doesn’t color the water, and it only has some golden luster on it, so it’s not too glittery and messy. I like this one. ($6.35/6.3 oz)

Blackberry: This is awesome because it smells like Sultana of Soap! Mmmm. I think it’s also the first bath bomb Lush has ever made, and it was one of the first bath bombs in the history of bath bombs. Fun fact, right? It’s a very rich, berry bomb that makes the water very soothing and a lovely purple color. It perfumes you well, too. No glitter. I was pleased. ($6.25/6.3 oz)

Sakura: My favorite of all the bath bombs. It smells so light and floral-y, and makes me feel like I’m in some fancy spa. It’s also extra special because it was the very first bath bomb I tried from Lush. :) Yay for sentimental value. I also like this because it leaves no residue in your bath tub. There are no surprises or glitter you have to clean up later. Sakura leaves your skin soft and subtly perfumed. It’s colorless, too by the way. ($6.35/6.3 oz)

Avobath: This is an awesome one, and it’s one of Lush’s most popular bombs. It turns your bath water a nice, light green. Glitter-free. It makes your skin soft because Lush tosses in a bunch of avocados into the mix. It also smells great: fresh, fruity, and zingy with lemongrass. It actually smells exactly like Fruit Loops cereal... This is a good one if you’re new to Lush. ($6.25/6.3 oz)

The creator of the next three bombs is a genius. He made a really long lasting, foamy mix for the new bath bombs, and he made them color changing. So cool!

Dragon’s Egg: This bath bomb smells great and citrusy, grapefruit especially. The fizz also lasts for ages. This will seriously fizz for at least five minutes. It’s crazy. You drop it in, and it gets really foamy at first (I think they’ve mixed bubble bar mix into it) then spins around without too much noise. What I don’t like about it is the glitter and paper bits in it. It does wash down the drain though, and what doesn’t you can spray off. But if you like that and citrus-y scents and glitter, this is for you. I found it really lovely and refreshing. This is also a color changing bomb, which is really cool. Your water goes from clear to orange. (The orange is spewed out with glitter in trails). This is a very fun bomb, and despite the glitter, I think I’d buy it again. ($5.95/6.3oz)

Fizzbanger: This is a favorite. It smells so good. They mixed the Love and B scents in so it smells like a spicy cinnamon apple (apple on the outside, spice on the inside). It turns the water green (it’s also a color changer, so it starts yellow then spews blue) and has no glitter! It does pop out a piece of paper though that says “Bang!” on it, but that’s whatever to pick out. It’s another long lasting fizzer that foams up and spins around leaving swirls of color. I really really like this one. The only downside is that it’s sort of irritating “down there” because of the spice in it. ($5.95/6.3oz)

Twilight: This bomb is so amazing I can get past the glitter. It fizzes for such a crazy long time and turns into this beautiful purple foamy thing at the start and spins around like crazy. It’s pink at first but then spews blue and glitter. It’s so gorgeous. The colors mix into this amazing dark purple, and the glitter suspends in it like stars. It’s so relaxing, too. Lavender and ovaltine. It’s rich and softening. A deep, sexy favorite. (Sorry the link is for the UK site, but I couldn't find the bath bomb on the US one). ($5.95/6.3oz)

Seasonal bombs review in case you want to give them a go when they pop up at their times of the year:

So White: I buy so many of these when they come out. I wish they’d make a shower gel of this scent. It seriously smells like fresh, crisp apples. It’s so fresh that it should be a year round scent, but it is nice around Christmas time in the snow. It kind of reminds me of wreaths... It’s foamy and long lasting/fizzing (even though it’s small), and it leaves the water clear and glitter free. I usually wait until the Christmas deals come out to stock up (it’s usually buy one get one).

Satsuma Santa: A great, citrusy Christmas bomb. It turns the water orange-y red, with no glitter. So fresh. It’s a fast fizzer though.

Happy Chick: I don’t know if they bring this one back every year, because it’s nothing special. This disappears instantly, and isn’t too heavily fragranced. You can barely smell it. What you can smell is nice though: it smells of grapefruit. Clear water, no glitter.

I hope this was helpful for you!
