Lush Bath Bombs Review!

I was struggling to think of an idea for a first proper blog post until I saw all the pictures I took of the Lush bath bombs that I used on holiday!
Now, you see... I'm a mega Lushie, but in my house we don't have a bath so I used my holiday that I went on last week as a wonderful excuse to hoard bath bombs. 
Previously I have used bath bombs at my grandparents house but I've only tried a few. When it comes down to Lush I have a tendency to go towards the non-bath related products (obviously!).
Anyway, let's begin!

The first bath bomb that I used was nothing particularly special - it was Sakura.
My only incentive for buying this one was the smell. I have the Rub Rub Rub sea salt scrub which smells exactly the same. 
The colour of the bath turned a murky white when it dissolved, so as I just said, nothing special. Nevertheless, the orange blossom scent made up for the plain colour!

Next - Fizzbanger! 
“Don't judge a book by its cover” - the perfect saying for this bath bomb. When looking at Fizzbanger, it looks like your typical one-colour, decent-smelling bath bomb. But wait! This citrus-y bath bomb has a green centre and popping candy! There is also a little surprise in the centre too! This may be a personal opinion or just the sensitivity of my nose but, I found that the scent of this bath bomb was rather strong - yet I didn't feel as though I was suffocating in a sea of lemon-y goodness!

The Phoenix Rising... ~Fall Out Boy - The Phoenix plays in the distance...~
This next bath bomb had a rather disappointing outcome. When I first put this little guy in the bath, I was in love with the colour and scent given off. The apple and cinnamon fragrance was heavenly and really reminded me of Autumn - my favourite season! 
After about 20 minutes I noticed that my nails turned a pinky-purple. It didn't bother me because honestly, they looked kinda nice with a girly tint. When I emerged from the bath was when things went from “aw yee, relaxin'” to “OH, FUDGESTICKS”. 
Taking the plug out, it was noticeable that the bath tub had been stained. And that I'd left a pink residue on the clean white towels... 
Long story short, we had to use about a bajillion cleaning products and used so much water that my uncle had a cold shower...

My previous favourite - Dragon's Egg
It wouldn't have been right for me to go on holiday without buying Dragon's Egg. To me, this bath bomb smells of sherbet. And I love sherbet. 
Sure, the colour looks... er... slightly 'icky' but when I emerged from the bath looking slightly bronzed from the glitter, all my worries seemed miles away... Only joking, if anything the glitter was a pain in my behind. I had to wash the bathtub, and from the incident the day before with the Phoenix Rising, I'd had it with cleaning out leftover residue...

Finally, Twilight! 
Quite possibly my favourite bath bomb of the holiday. I'm not sure there were any negatives about this bath bomb. There was only very little cleaning I had to do with the leftover glitter but that wasn't an issue. 
I adore the colour that Twilight gave off. Watching it fizz away was also very relaxing. Not to forget the lavender scent was heavenly and made me want to sleep... 
~I just looked up and apparently it is made to make you feel relaxed and sleepy!~ (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)



Finally I've come to the end of my fairly long bath bombs review. I actually did buy two others that I didn't use - Brightside and Ickle Baby Bot (which I've had once before). When I use them, I might do another review! 

Anywho, if you've got to the end of this post, then thank you for dealing with my ramblings! ˚‧*♡ॢ˃̶̤̀◡˂̶̤́♡ॢ*‧˚
Okie dokie, I'll post again soon!
