Lush Supernova Bath Bomb



Given description:
Celebrate bathtime with cocktails for one and a ticker tape parade.
When they celebrate in New York, people throw handfuls of paper down into the street on to the passing parade. Supernova’s like that, except in the bath! It has one of our favourite fragrances which crops up every now and again in our celebratory bath and shower products. If it smells like a buck’s fizz with a splash of cognac, that’s because it’s got refreshing oranges and genuine cognac absolute to make it smell like a posh cocktail. Smatterings of fluorescent bubble mixture give it a frothy topping with splashes of bright pink. Like a ticker tape parade, the paper takes a bit of clearing up afterwards, but it’s definitely fun while it lasts.

One thing you have to be careful about is to clear up any remaining paper pieces when you're done using this bath bomb because basically, this bath bomb is filled with confetti that soaks up water and when sucked into your plughole, it jams it up and can obstruct flow of water. So, MUST.CLEAR.CONFETTI.UP.



The scent of this is alittle confusing and complex, so i shall not even attempt to delve into olfactory terms and descriptions.

Lush Sakura bath bomb




Given description :
Like the blossom in a Tokyo park on a spring afternoon.
The Sakura Ballistic is made in honour of cherry blossom time, perfumed with mimosa and jasmine to give you the joyful feeling of springtime, whenever you need it. (Sakura is Japanese for cherry blossom). When the blossom bursts forth in late spring, it's the habit in Japan to take a picnic and a bottle of sake to the park and enjoy its beauty (while getting slowly but pleasantly sozzled). Or you could have a bath instead

When i think of Sakura, i think of flowers so i find it a bit strange that there isn't any dried sakura flowers in this. Or maybe there was? My memory fails me. Anyway, the scent is really nice, as always, but i've figured out that maybe the bath bombs from Australia are the best. They seem to have the best scent that lasts for days.

Lush Twinkle Bath Bomb






Can't remember what this bath bomb is called, oops! Anyway, i think this bath bomb is supposed to make you feel sleepy or something, the perfect thing to use just before you pop into bed. It is covered with glitter that looks really pretty in the bath.






what happens when you touch it with water.




I can't remember the scent, and i think they may not be selling it anymore because i can't find it on the website anymore.

Lush Bling Crosby Bath Bomb




A chunk of the Bling Crosby.
Okay i don't think Lush sells this anymore in their shops because i bought this a long time ago (and used it a long time ago but never got around to posting the review :p). Anyway, Lush bath bombs can be broken into chunks and used for many baths so i happened to be using this for a foot soak.
It smells very orangey, and fresh, and the glitter is gorgeous. very festive. Because i kept it for quite some time, and the weather is humid here, i think i would like to warn you not to keep bath bombs for too long because they might absorb the moisture in the air and when you put it in the bath it loses its efferverscence.

SJ Spa Ice Cream Dream Bath Fizzers




Given Description:

Ice Cream Dream Fruit Sorbet Scented Fizzers

A bath time treat so luxurious you will feel like you are bathing in champagne!





The packaging of this item is extremely adorable, thats the reason why i bought this in the first place. Pink cover with polka dotted base and such a nice name, whats not to love?
However, this only proves one point. Don't be fooled by appearances.
As much anticipation i had for this product, which looked promising, i was severely let down by the quality of it. The description of it on the packaging was so tempting, but it turned out to be everything other than that.
Sure, they fizz like what they are supposed to do. However, the smell is totally off-putting. I wouldn't say it is SMELLY, but i'd say the fragrance is nothing nice. And these fizzers don't even fizz right to the end, they fizz partially, leaving a block of it unfizzed. I don't know why.
I bought this in Century 21's basement for bout 5 USD. Even though its cheap, it's not worth it AT ALL.

LUSH Christmas Party bath bomb











Given description:
Scent: Champagne Cocktail
Effect: Dissolves your inhibitions

Pop a LUSH bath bomb in a pre-run bath and it erupts in a mass of fragrant fizzing, sometimes launching flower petals, leaves, natural butters, and even confetti into the bath water. After a mad frenzy it calms down and gently scents the water with natural essential oils. What could be better than a really good pary, in your own bath? Christmas Party is a celebration packed into a bath bomb. Drop it in the bath and it smells like refreshing orange juice and bubbly champagne with a drop of cognac for good measure. Give it as presents to all your guests and keep a dozen extra for when you feel like celebrating.




Now doesn't this sound absolutely wonderful? Let me tell you something, i lovelovelove Lush stores, especially their products! When you first step into a store, your nose will be assaulted by the wonderful scents of the products displayed in their full glory. It really is an experience, just stepping into their shops. The Lush store assistants are also one of the most helpful around. Most of their products have testers, except for maybe their face masks, so you can always test out what you want. The store assistants are also real helpful and will help you find what you need.


Wandering around their shop is like how wandering around a candy factory is to a candy lover. It's simply interesting and just nice to walk around looking at the products. You don't neccessarily have to buy to appreciate the products, but then again, it is pretty impossible not to step out of the store without getting anything!


Most of their products look eatable actually. Like their buttercreams, which are made in such a way they resemble cakes! Really! I think if you buy one of their buttercreams they would cut out this huge 'slice' from the cake.


Anyway, moving on to the actual product im reviewing here. Sorry, i just can't stop gushing about how wonderful their stores are.



This bath bomb smells amazing. I wouldn't be able to identify the smell actually but it really smells great. I don't know how champagne would smell though, but this has a pretty fragrance.




When dropped into a bath, it fizzes and lets out an 'xplosion' of confetti and bubbles. The confetti is made out of little multi-coloured stars that just float about your bath tub as the bath bomb dissolves. It's really pretty and when dissolved, the bath bomb gives out this amazing fragrance that just lasts in your hair after the bath. Really nice. And your bath room will also be nicely scented with the smell of the bath bomb.








THats one thing i love about Lush. Their products reallyreally smell good, one of the best fragrances ever and the best thing about them, they are organic. They make their products from fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Their face masks are so fresh that you have to use it within one week! Thats how fresh their products are!



And since their organic, i don't have to worry about synthetic and irritable elements in their products irritating my sensitive skin.



One thing im disappointed about though, is that Lush is not in Singapore!!! I would love it if Lush came to Singapore! And im sure they will do well here, with customers like me! I would definitely buy a lot from them and become an avid user.



Since Lush isn't in Singapore, content yourself by going to their website



www.lush.com


to browse through the amazing array of beautiful products. I only wish i could hold and smell them, that would make the whole experience better!



This product, the Christmas Party Bath Bomb, is im afraid, a limited product. It was only available last Xmas, so it might be on sale again this Xmas, im not sure! Lets cross our fingers and hope for the best though!



Retailed for $5.95 USD. Bought it at the Lush store in 34th St. New York. Theres a Lush Store somewhere in Soho too.



Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 hearts! How could i not give the maximum to such a wonderful product like this?
