When most people think of bath bombs they automatically think of the shop LUSH. And rightly so. They’ve built up a successful business based on bath time treats which are colourful, fragrant and for many people totally addictive. Are they the cheapest? No. But they are the most well known. So could I resist their Boxing Day sale a few weeks ago which consisted of half price bath, body and shower products? Nope!
What did I buy?
I ordered online as I wasn’t queuing outside the store as if I was in Disneyland Paris (been there done that!). Stock levels changed every time I went to their site but persistence is the key and I kept checking and finally go my order in. I bought 15 items in total, but one was a gift set which included 6 full sized products. So all in all I purchased 20 items which included 1 soap, 7 bubble bars and 12 bath bombs which included:
Snow Bear Soap
An adorable bear shaped soap that smells of marzipan. I bought this for a friend who will be celebrating a birthday soon, but not sure she will get it now as I like this!
Labyrinth Bubble Bar
Interesting and unusual shape and design, bold in colour with lots and lots of shimmer! Smells very fruity.
Sleepy Bubble Bar
I bought 3 of these because I love bubble bars! Cloud shaped, multi coloured and another sweetly fragranced piece. But this is more sweet herbal in the form of lavender.
Sleepy Bear Bath Bomb
I bought 4 of these because I’ve had this one before (read my review here), loved it and needed more! Even better half price. This has the same scent as the Sleepy Bubble Bar which is a sweet Lavender type fragrance.
Crystal Snow Bath Bomb
This is more of a traditional shaped bath bomb with the addition of a crystal like topping. Minty in scent but in the packet of chewie mints type of smell not fresh mint out of the garden fragrance.
Gift Horse Bath Bomb
For some reason this reminds me of an orange version of Donkey from Shrek! Fun appearance, good size and smells a little floral with a zestiness to it.
Snow Dragon Bath Bomb
I grabbed 2 of these. And why wouldn’t I if they worked out at £1.75 each?? This has a citrus scent to it, probably lemon. Very fresh but like the other items in my LUSH order has a sweetness to it.
Snowman Finger Puppet Bath Bomb
This is a simple in look bath bomb but totally adorable. I like the idea of it being a finger puppet but when I get the chance to, this is just getting thrown in the bath! This is another minty bath bomb in scent but different to Crystal Snow Bath Bomb.
Christmas Candy Box Gift
I’ve not opened this yet. I’m still trying to work out how I’m going to store all the above without housing them in the massive box it came in, so left this in it’s packaging. This contains a Candy Cane Bubble Bar, Snow Fairy Wand Bubble Blower, Snow Fairy Bath Bomb, Creamy Candy Bubble Bar, Butterbear Bath Bomb and a Sweet Pudding Bath Bomb.
What did I spend?
A total of £45.50. Yes yes…that’s a decent chunk of money for things that fizz in the bath. But divide that amount by 20 and each piece cost £2.27..BARGAIN!
Recommended?
LUSH only has one sale a year. The chances of me buying anything in the store in general is very slim unless it was a special occasion e.g my birthday. But waiting for this event, putting to one side a little bit of money to have a splurge is definitely something I would recommend. If you are a LUSH fan and/or a lover of bath bombs I would wait for their ultimate sale and save yourself lots of money.
