Lush May Day Bath Bomb review

This caught my eye on the Lush website because it's for a good cause, to help save badgers! However, I would definitely buy this again.


 The actual bath bomb itself just looks SO cute, and smelled really fresh and lemony. I was pleased at how the smell was still as strong in the bath as sometimes it becomes much weaker.






This bath bomb turns your water kind of a smokey grey with a hint of black smudges, so it's not as pretty as some of the others, but I still really liked it. The water makes your skin really soft too which is lovely!









Even my cat who has an intense phobia of water and our bathroom came in to inspect, so it must be a pretty special bath bomb!

Lush Sex Bomb Bath Bomb

I had heard really good things about this bath bomb so when the time came to use it was really excited! However, it disappointed :(


 The bath bomb looked SO pretty with its little flower, purple top and pink base. When I first got it, the smell was really sweet and almost like Snow Fairy, but it smelt really really weird in the end. Kind of like a herby smell? The website mentions sage and jasmine, but it didn't smell pleasant. I was also disappointed in how my bath only went pink. Other bath bombs have given a really pretty explosion of colour to my tub, but this only went pink and stayed pink. From the purple on the bath bomb I thought some purple would feature?

Also, it literally fizzed away in a matter of moments. It was gone before I even knew what was happening...a bit rubbish considering its bigger than most I've purchased before!






















I also was really surprised at the rose in the middle. It went so mushy and gross and I ended up tossing it in the bin from my bath cos it felt so disgusting.


Overall I would rate it a 2/5 only because the pink was pretty. Won't be repurchasing.

Lush Error 404 Bath Bomb

Even though I adore Lush and their products, and have been using their massage bars, soaps, facial products and lip scrubs for at least two years now, I have never used a bath bomb.

When I was younger I wasn't allowed to use bubble bath, bath bombs or anything like that so the thought of baths never even appealed to me. However, it is now exam season and I have vowed to start "pampering" myself after a long day of revision, and what better way to relax than with a nice hot bath?

I recently saw on Lush's website the "Error 404" bath bomb, a kind of website easter egg, which was totally free, and you only had to pay for delivery. As I was ordering other products anyway, I popped one in my basket!

When it arrived, it had a strong, herby smell, and I was a bit unsure. But, after a particularly exhausting week and a long day, I decided a bath was in order, and so I popped this in my bath. 



This is what it looks like- not going to lie, I did get glitter all over my fingers just touching it, but hey everyone needs a bit of sparkle every now and again! 


I popped it in my bath, and the gold glitter layer fizzed away to give a shimmery look to my bath, and the blue inside was unleashed. 


(Yes I did keep taking photos- it just looked sooo amazing!) 
There were different tones of blue and it just looked beautiful. It fizzed for a good four to five minutes, and quite slowly which I liked. 
WHY HAS NO ONE EVER TOLD ME HOW MOISTURISING LUSH BATH BOMBS ARE?! I had heard people talk about how great they smell and how pretty they make your bath but I thought they just coloured your water! The foamy bubbly bits on top of my water made my skin feel so soft and amazing I just wanted to stay in the bath forever. 

Eventually the fizzing and bubbles all died away and left my water this beautiful vibrant blue that reminded me of a pool at a nice hotel somewhere sunny. 

Although I wasn't crazy about the smell when I first smelled the bath bomb, when I was in the bath it just smelt really subtle and fresh which was nice. 

I really hope this bath bomb because avaliable in stores as I would definitely repurchase it! Now, is there anything I need from Lush's website so I can warrant buying another one...?

This is the link- https://www.lush.co.uk/products/error-404 or simply search error 404. If you can't find it they might have been taken down :( but keep going back cos they might reappear! 

Can't wait to try more Lush bath bombs now!

Lush: Je t'adore

(Yes I googled how to say I adore you in French for this title)

It's not often I get so passionate about a shop that I start speaking French, but Lush products seem to bring out the language of love from within me.

Lush is one of my all time favourite shops, with it's amazing smells, beautiful organic products, and friendly staff, I just love it! These are the products I've purchased and been using in the last weeks...


Ultrabland Facial Cleanser. When I was looking for a new cleanser, this was my top choice, as it has been so highly rated and I wanted something that I knew would be kind to my sensitive skin. I love this cleanser, and I know I will be repurchasing when this one runs out! It's a really thick formula which is perfect for me as I hate having traces of make lingering on my face. Although the thick texture of this product may be off putting, it doesn't clog up pores or anything so don't worry! I also use it on my eyes and have never had any discomfort, which is great for when that last bit of stubborn eyeliner won't come off. I just dab it all over my face, rub it in so there's a thin layer covering my whole face, and then wipe it all off with a cotton pad!

Rating- 5/5

Eau Roma Water Toner. I have never used a toner before, so this was the first one I've ever used, and honestly now I'm not sure how I am going to venture out to other products! I use this after ultrabland to make sure my face is clear of all traces of make up and cleanser, as well as just to get rid of the day's dirt and grime from my face. It's also a great wake up in the mornings, as when I wake up my skin tends to be quite oily and so this is just perfect. I spritz onto a cotton pad and wipe all over my face, and although I brought the smaller bottle, next time I will definitely be buying the larger size! Would recommend this to anyone.

Rating-5/5

Since using these two products, my skin has been much clearer and more radiant which is just fab. I do still have occasional bad skin days, but come on, only a divine intervention or a genine in a bottle could give good skin 24/7, 365 days of the year!

Another reason I love Lush, is that when ordering online, they send you a free sample! The first time I recieved a tiny bit of a facial cleanser soap, specifically for oily skin. I couldn't find the name on the website, but it smells lovely and herby. This isn't normally a smell I like, but this one just smells nice and fresh. I haven't used much at all so I can't really comment, but when I did use it a little went a long way and it left my face feeling nice and clean. So thanks Lush!

So that's all! Thanks for reading, and leave a comment telling me your favourite Lush products
