My boyfriend recently ordered me more than a dozen different items from
Lush.com. Our 5 year anniversary passed, and he knows how much I adore
Lush so it was pretty thrilling to see what he ordered me.
Inside of my box of scented deliciousness I came across quite a few
bath bombs. One particular bath bomb caught my eye though, because I
could tell immediately that this neat green little gem contained some
sort of dried out flowers stuck in it.
English Countryside was the name written on a piece of paper within a
the small baggie the bath bomb was sealed in. I knew that English
Countryside was one of Lushes newest additions to the bath bomb family.
Whether or not it is a limited edition bath bomb though is still
undetermined. Lush normally switches things up without warning, so it is
really anybodies guess.
Anyhow, Lush's English Countryside bath bomb is a near neon green
colored 6.3 ounce bath bomb, with clear obvious chunks of dried out
flowers in it.
According to Lush.com's description, English Countryside Bath Bomb
contains geranium, precious orris (made from iris roots) and soothing
sandalwood. They describe it as being surrounded in a meadow filled with
fresh flowers.
Scent:
Out of the package, there was definitely something floral about the
bath bomb, however the flowery scent was more powdery than it was
floral.
My Use:
I honestly could not wait to run a bath and pop in English
Countryside. I ran some water, hopped in, and plopped in English
Countryside. The bomb began to fizz up very quickly, while floating to
the surface of the water. The bath bomb expelled a near toxic looking
neon green colored foam, which eventually changed the entire color of
the bath water into a sewer colored green.
As the bomb melted, small pieces of flowers raised to the surface of
the tub creating an odd watery flower garden for me to visually enjoy. -Or in my case, visually get disgusted.
The flowers, yech! They felt really disgusting if you happened to
touch them. They were extremely slimy, and very, very rotten. I was
pretty grossed out. In fact by the time the bomb fully melted, I kept
thinking little terds were floating around in the water with me, which
was a major turn off. The flowers within English Countryside are far
from fresh. They are brown, and rolled in a way that makes them look
like terds. Nothing more disgusting than imagining you are bathing in
sewer water with crap floating around your naked body.
Terd looking flowers were not the only nasty little surprise secretly hidden within English Countryside.
As I drained out my tub, I noticed odd small silver particles that
looked like mirrors. I scooped a small handful up and realized these
little shards were actually confetti shaped like Christmas bells. Why on
earth they were in it is still beyond me, because Lush.com never
mentioned any confetti in the description.
The confetti was also much too large to go down the drain, so I was left with a huge mess on the bottom of the tub.
Once fully drained I found a few fabric purple butterflies, tons of
bell shaped silver confetti, and rotten flower buds that couldn't fit
down the drain.
The clean up was horrendous, the water looked horrendous, and English
Countryside is hands down the worst bath bomb I've ever gotten from
Lush.
