Lush: It's a Date Bubble Bar Review

Recently, I was given a giant bundle of Lush goodies. Of course I choose all of the goodies, but thanks to Christmas I didn't actually have to pay for them myself. I was pretty much given a $200 limit, to go nuts on the site, and order things I wanted so long as I didn't go over the limit.

It's a Date Bubble Bar was one of the items I decided to try out for size.

It's a Date Bubble Bar looked really pretty on the site, a deep, deep pink color, with a giant date squished into the top of the bubble bar. I could have done without the gooey piece of fruit, but if the date weren't present, likely it'd be called something else.

In person, It's a Date Bubble Bar looks exactly like the pink gem on the Lush.com website, with the yucky brown date on top and all.

I peeled the bubble bar from the clear plastic wrap it came in and inhaled the scent. It's a Date smelled like must, and raisins. A nice scent, but it was also a very faint and weak scent. I hoped that as soon as I crumbled the bubble bar up under running water the scent would maybe get stronger, like most Lush bath products do when you put them in the water.

I ran a bath, and crumbled It's a Date up under the water. I only used half the bar though, because I find that using an entire 3.5 ounce bubble bar is wasteful, especially seeing that you usually get puh-lenty of bubbles with just half a bar.

As soon as I began crumbling It's a Date, the bubbles naturally piled up on top of one another, creating a gorgeous sea of bubbles. The musky scent also filled the room, which was heavenly.

After climbing into the tub, I noticed that the water turned a light pink color, which was pretty and fitting for a date night.

The musk scent grew weak, but the bubbles stood long and strong. The water; although pink, did not turn silky or soft like most Lush bubble bars do, which was a slight damper on the date.

After climbing out of the bath, I did feel clean and refreshed, but the nice feminine scent of musk was not detectable.

Overall:
 
It was not a bad date, but it certainly was not a great one either. Odds are though; I wouldn't go out with this one again. Hehe.
