As a person who enjoys a daily bath, I also love a good bath bomb. I’m also a fan of the film Wicked. Marrying the two together literally is my idea of heaven. So to say I was very happy to receive the limited edition The Wizard bath bomb from LUSH this Mother’s Day from my daughter is an understatement. Did I enjoy this bath treat or did it leave me disappointed?
The look
This is a very striking bath bomb. Round-ish in shape, reasonably weighty and what I would call a standard size for a bath bomb. And that’s where the comparisons between this and a normal bath bomb stops. The Wizard bath bomb is a rich, shiny, deep gold colour, almost gold leaf in appearance. On one side is a slightly sinister looking face formed into the bath bomb. On the back is the words WICKED and LUSH engraved into it.
Fragrance
Citrusy, lightly floral, earthy, almost plant like in scent. Not the usual fragrance I like but somehow it’s very appealing. It’s not a masculine or feminine scent, and would appeal to quite a few people.
In the bath
I popped this on top of an already run bath and it immediately moved around in the water. It fizzed and foamed and started to bleed the colour green. It didn’t take too long to see that the gold on the bath bomb was just the outer layer as it came off in the bath, and the bath bomb now was just green in colour. This bath bomb literally swirled around for such a long time in the bath it lasted a good number of minutes. No residue was left (except a layer of gold dust on the bottom of the bath). But what was left was a foam free, emerald green coloured bath that would have made any Wicked lover happy.
The fragrance was there and the perfect strength. Not too strong to make it heady, but strong enough to be noticeable. This, and the bath itself, I found relaxing and enjoyable. The Wizard didn’t dry or irritate my skin. And no major clean up in the bath afterwards either!
Recommended?
This bath bomb look wise is brilliant. Eye catching and very different. The fragrance is nice and won’t be offense to most people. But the best bit about it was the colour it turned the bath water into. Perfectly themed, enjoyable to use and would definitely recommend to any bath bomb loving Wicked fan! Unfortunately, this is a limited edition bath bomb and currently not available online, but worth checking instore for stock.
