LUSH: Frothy the Snowman Bubble Bar

My boyfriend and I recently celebrated our anniversary. He usually isn't too good at picking out gifts for me, so he pretty much asked me what I wanted. I honestly couldn't think of anything on the spot, but for some reason blurted out Lush stuff!

I gave him the website address and let him do the rest. To my surprise I ended up with a bigger box of bath time goodies than I expected to receive. In this box he ordered me a Frothy The Snowman Bubble Bar, which I had been wanting to try ever since it went on sale on the website.

Frothy The Snowman Bubble Bar looked adorable not only on the site, but he was also pretty cute in person. The bubble bar comes to 3.5 ounces, and costs $5.95. In person though Frothy The Snowman has a more yellowish tint to it, than it does pale white like shown on the Lush.com website. At any rate though you will still get a kick out of the cute festive looking snowman.

Frothy came packed in a small Lush brand plastic baggie, The bubble bar itself is white with tons of mini coconut shavings stuck to the outer layer of it. There are also real pieces of licorice sticks added to the bubble bar to make it look like a snowman. For instance, the licorice makes up the bubble bars eyes, nose and mouth.

Out of the bag Frothy The Snowman smells primarily like coconut to me with only a light hint of licorice. I honestly could not wait to run a bath and plop Frothy in to see how well it worked.

I was hoping for mounds of white frothy bubbles; long lasting white frothy bubbles that is!

What I got:
 
I cut the bubble bar in half which I usually always do, because I find that using the entire thing in one bath is wasteful. After cutting half the bar, I ran my hot water and crumbled the bubble bar under the water. The bubbles foamed up pretty quickly after adding it, and they did have a very faint vanilla and licorice scent to them, but really I was only able to notice the smell when I put my nose right up on the bubbles and inhaled.

The scent failed to fill the bathroom, and it failed to linger.

In fact the whole bubble bar pretty much failed on me. The water was a bit silky and did feel nice on my skin, however the bubbles themselves fizzed out and popped in less than 5 minutes which was pretty disappointing coming from Lush! Most bubble bars I've gotten from Lush have always had long lasting bubbles, and they always gave off glorious powerful fragrances. Frothy The Snowman though pretty much made my water feel silky, and that was about it.


Overall:
 
Frothy The Snowman Bubble Bar looks adorable, and even smells delicious when you first encounter it. However it fails to deliver long lasting bubbles, and scent to your bath. I'd recommend you save your $5.95 and pick up another bubble bar.

It is really too bad too, because out of its package it really smelled great.
