Lush, Big Blue Bath Bomb Review

I am not much of a bath person. Showers have always been my passion, but because of the latest LUSH hype, I had to give one of their bath bombs a try.

I didn’t want to purchase a sissy one; I wanted a big one, the biggest! Big blue was right there, his name was calling me, and his price was low. I added him to my cart, and wondered what my bath bomb would be like before it even got to me.

I imagined bathing in a spa like atmosphere, the scent of lemon and lavender surrounding me and drowning my senses with its lovely overpowering scent.

When it did arrive, I wad not shocked by it’s large 6.3oz size. I have used bath bombs before, and have seen big ones like this.
I planned on cutting it in half and saving the other half for another bath like others on the site recommended. However when I tried to do this, things proved to be close to impossible. I realized it was going to make a big mess, and I’d end up with a bunch of crumbs.

I ran my bath, and plopped the whole Big Blue in.
Unlike other bombs I have tried in the past, Big Blue actually floated, and sort of let out a small amount of foam. It was nothing impressive though.

While fizzing away the bomb was also releasing seaweed. At first I was grossed out, it looked creature like, yet exotic.

THE SMELL

Big Blue let off a subtle scent. It was nothing beautiful, and it was sort of boyish. It was a mix of lemon, and some sort of herb that I cannot quite pin. The lemon was not like yum, yum lemon drop lemon, it was more like the scent you get when you make yourself a cup of warm Theraflu. Basically it’s a scent I recall when I’m sick.

THE SEA-MESS

The supposed swirls of seaweed like the site says didn’t swirl at all. They sunk to the bottom and scratched lightly at my body. It was not a pleasant feeling; it was as if I was bathing on top of grains of dirt.

THE WATER

Usually when I take any sort of bath I add things into the water, and even with the cheapest Calgon powdered bath spas the water usually feels smooth and silky. This was not the case with Big Blue.
I felt no difference in my water. It was a nice blueish teal color, yes, but it did nothing for me. It was almost as if I had just thrown dye into the water and threw in chunks of seaweed, and added a tsp. of Theraflu for scent. I could have done this for close to nothing in cost. Big Blue cost me $5.40. Usually when I spend $5 on bath bombs I get 4 or 5 of them anywhere else.

I figured if I allowed myself to sit in the tub long enough I would grow to enjoy it. However as the water got cooler, my anger grew hotter. I felt ripped off.
There was nothing exciting about Big Blue. The gobs of seaweed under my butt skeeved me out as time went on, and eventually I said ‘screw it’, and hopped out.

I dried up expecting some sort of moisturization to my body. However I got none of this. Big Blue was a waste of money. It did nothing.
I pulled the plug on my drain and walked out disappointed. Never again Big Blue. Never again.

HAAR HAAR HAAR… THAT’S WHAT YOU THINK!

The next day my boyfriend comes up to me and tells me we need to pour something down the tub drain.

“Why?”

“There are black worms everywhere!” He replied in a panic.

I laughed. I knew what he was referring to. I knew that Big Blue must have left some seaweed behind, even though I was imagining they would of all went down the drain.

I went in and took a look. I was expecting to see ‘some’ seaweed. Not an entire layer of it caking the whole tub. Uch!

I got down on my hands and knees and began scooping up handfuls of it. Ewwie! It left brown poop colored skid marks as I began scooping it up.

So Big Blue disappoints me again. He left a big nasty mess behind, and he didn’t even do anything for my skin. The scent was medicinal, and the whole thing was just a big pathetic mess!


OVERALL:

I guess I’m an unappreciative mermaid! Hmph.

RECOMMENDATION:

None. Big Blue is a failure. It serves no purpose other than to dye your tub water, and leave a big disgusting mess behind.

Must Have!!! Lush, Honey Bee Bath Bomb

Delicious Bath Bomb!!!

I have been buying products from Lush.com for about 2 years now, and nearly 90% of everything I have ever ordered from them, I have loved enough to come back time and time again to place another order.

Lush Honey Bee Bath Bomb is just one of those items.

I have never really been a bath fanatic; I've always enjoyed a quick shower to get clean. It saved time, and was less of a hassle. Ever since Lush though, I have been a bathing freak.

Honey Bee Bath Bomb in person looks exactly like the bath bomb they display on their website.

It is a decent sized 6.3 ounce bomb, with a primary neon yellow coloring to it, with swirls of an off beige in it. The swirls actually look like sand on the site, and in real life.

The scent is simply divine in the moment you remove it from its plastic wrapping. In the bath though Honey Bee accelerates it's fragrance power, and seriously fills the room with a gorgeous aroma of honey, toffee, caramel and sugar. It's truly lovely.

As Honey Bee Bath Bomb fizzes away, it leaves a beautiful yellow colored foam at the surface of the water, and it also infuses the water with such soft feeling moisturization. It is really as if the water had turned to silk, and it feels fantastic on the skin.

What I love most about Honey Bee though is that the addicting creamy scent stays with you for hours after using it.

It has been added to my favorite Lush items, and I plan on ordering it again and again.

You can pick it up at Lush stores, or online at Lush.com.

Although Lush goodies are a little pricey, I think Honey Bee is worth the extra little splurge.

Lush, The Sicilian Bath Bomb

A Citrus Wonerland
Let me just tell you about the most ultimate bath I have ever had in my life. It was like soaking in a tub filled with warm freshly squeezed oranges. A little tropical paradise of my own, and the best thing about it...it came packed in a 6.3 ounce bath bomb.

Lushes The Sicilian Bath Bomb!!!!

The bath bomb came packaged in clear wrap, with an easy to read slit of paper that clearly labels the bomb The Sicilian; it also includes all of the ingredients on the bomb. For large orders you make online, you will be grateful for the added piece of paper, because sometimes the bombs look alike.

The Sicilian in particular has a faded pastel yellow color to it. Upon examination it appeared that the bomb had small pieces of something within it. Lush is legendary for doing such things; adding little tidbits of herbs or spices within their bombs. To me its like an added little mysterious bonus.

In The Sicilians case, these added extras were pieces of orange pulp.

After I added it to my bath tub, it was clear that the middle of the bomb contained yet another treat; an actual slice of orange.

Now out of the package The Sicilian Bath Bomb didn't smell of much, but as soon as it hit the water it was as if someone had just squeezed a bucket or oranges on top of me. The scent of oranges was not fake, commercial or unnatural in the least bit. It was like inhaling 100% pure orange juice.

The scent was impeccable.

Let me tell you how my skin feels though.

In the bath, the tub didn't really turn into a silky paradise like other bombs can do, but my God my skin was so clean, and felt so moisturized and soft after drying up.

For an even extra added bonus, I suggest you use Lushes Lemon Peel Soap. It really adds to the whole citrusy wonder.

If you love the scent of oranges, than The Sicilian will not disappoint. It is so far one of the best bombs I have used yet, and I have used quite a lot of Lushes bath bombs. The Sicilian tonight managed to grab the number 1 spot on my list.
