I had been wanting to get hold of Lushes Halloween edition bubble bar,
Witches' Ball since I first seen that it had been added to the site. The
bubble bar looked exactly like something a real witch would make in her
cauldron. A potion, a spell, a charm... I absolutely knew I wanted to
try this one for myself.
Unfortunately, every single frigging time I
went to purchase one, they would be sold out!
With Christmas around the corner though, and Halloween in the past, I
came across the bubble bar before it managed to sell out, and I quickly
added one to my virtual shopping cart.
Appearance:
Witches' Ball Bubble Bar, like I said looks like something only a true
witch could concoct. It has a deep purple color to it, and on the
website the flower that is places in the middle of the bubble bar is
shaped to look like some sort of creepy hair spider! The bar also has
all sorts of odd green herbs all over it.
Basically it will turn your bath water into a witches' brew! Sounded cool to me!!! I could not wait to try it!
Upon arrival, my Witches' Ball Bubble Bar was very similar to the
photo you can see at the Lush website, however my larger flower that was
supposed to be shaped like a spider was actually torn up into small
bits and pieces, which ended up falling all over the place when I
removed the bubble bar from its wrapper.
Scent:
According to the website, Witches' Ball contains star anise seedpods,
cloves, blackcurrant's and cranberries. I didn't really know what any of
these things smelled like besides cranberries. Witches' Ball though
smelled more like pizza spices. Oregano, thyme, and Italian spice. I
sort, of, kind of, was disappointed. Witches' Ball to me smelled way too
herbal.
Normally I like a little kick of spice in my bubble bars, but this just seemed to have way too much.
Seeing that I paid $5.95 for the bar, there was no way I was not going to use it.
I ran some hot water into the tub, and broke the Witches' Ball Bubble
Bar up under the running water. Immediately the bubble bar began to foam
up and create a slew of frothy bubbles, not only that I watched as my
bath water turned a lovely shade of dark purple.
The bubble bar wasn't my favorite scent, but I definitely loved the color.
Results:
So Witches' Ball Bubble Bar was indeed a star when it came to adding
bubble to the bath, and the bubbles were also very long lasting and
plentiful. The bathwater a gorgeous amethyst color, and the scent...well
the pizza spice aroma I first noticed when opening up the bubble bar
from its wrap was now gone! In fact there really was no scent at all.
Seeing that I wasn't too fond of the scent to begin with, I was glad it
didn't reek up my bath with the herbal spicy scent I originally smelled
coming from it.
The small flower that was crunched at the top of the bubble bar sank
to the bottom, never ever to be discovered again. I imagine it went
right down the drain.
All in all, I liked Witches' Ball Bubble Bar, but I definitely was not
impressed enough as to where I'd place another order on it. The bubbles
as nice as they were did nothing for my skin, and my bath water also
felt like ordinary 'ol bath water. Usually bubble bars from Lush turn
the water into a silky and soft feeling brew, and the bubbles normally
moisturize my skin. Witches' Ball did neither.
Recommended?
Yes due to the fact that the bubbles are long lasting. No, due to the
fact that you can get better results using a chunk of the Comforter
Bubble Bar from Lush.
If anything, Witches' Ball Bubble Bar is probably the most unique
looking bubble bar Lush has ever sold, so this is likely why it's always
sold out. Looks though can be deceiving.
