Lush Lover Lamp Bath Bomb - A Perfect Gift for Valentines Day!

Hey Everyone!

Hope you all are well :)

It has been a few months now since I last reviewed a bath bomb from Lush and its probably been near enough that time since I've had a bath too. Extremely unlike me as I love long soaks in the bath but quite frankly I just haven't had the time lately! Recently I was up in Dublin for the launch of YSL's new Touche Eclat Le Teint foundation and after the event was over myself and another blogger Riona decided to go and do a spot of shopping. Unfortunately I don't have a Lush store near me and being that I was in town I knew I had to stop and check out what they had to offer. As Valentines Day is fast approaching I was hoping they would have some new bits and pieces in stock that I had yet to try, and I was right!

After some pondering I finally decided on the Lover Lamp Bath Bomb. The description of this product according to Lush is as follows:

"Off with the hearts! Pop this amorous Brazilian orange oil and vanilla bomb in the bath and the fair trade orange cocoa butter hearts will melt, softening the water. Self preserving and suitable for Vegans".

What led me to pick out this bath bomb in particular was the fact that it contained cocoa butter. I'm a huge fan of products containing cocoa butter as I find it soothes my eczema, butterball from Lush is a firm favourite of mine. Aside from that though, from reading the rest of the ingredients I thought the bath bomb sounded like a dream so I said I'd give it a go! 

When I popped this into the bath the first thing I noticed was that the bath bomb fizzed around the bath, dissolving very quickly. As it was making its way around the bath I noticed it was spitting out lots of tiny little hearts and was beginning to turn the bath water a cloudy white colour. Initially I couldn't put my finger on the scent, I could just get quite a powdery smell. However when I actually got into the bath after the bomb had fizzled out that was when I could smell the orange and boy was it fantastic! The addition of cocoa butter made the bath water nice and silky and every so often when I moved I'd get that gorgeous hint of orange, a smell very similar to Terrys Chocolate Orange actually. When I got out of the bath I had a residue on my skin similar to as if I had already applied moisturiser, cocoa butter working its magic again!

All in all I'm a huge fan of the lover lamp bath bath it gets a big thumbs up from me. It's definitely one to pick up this Valentines Day whether it be as a gift for a partner or as a treat for yourself! The Lover Lamp bath bomb retails at €5.45 and is available from Lush stores nationwide.

Until next time :)

Lush Butterball Bath Bomb Review

Hey Everyone!

Hope you all are well :)

As you all know I adore smelly things.

Candles, perfumes anything that smells good I'll have.

As I said in my Lush haul, I went into Lush before Christmas.

One of the lovely members of staff Eimear, helped me pick out a bath bomb that would suit my sensitive skin and sooth my eczema.

She picked out this gorgeous vanilla scented bath bomb called 'Butterball'

When I popped the bath bomb into the bath it fizzed around my entire bath dissolving into creamy chunks of cocoa butter.

Once I dropped the bath bomb in the bath I expected it just to sink to the bottom of the bath and dissolve there. I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't, it coated the entire bath in buttery goodness.

As I said I'm prone to dry skin, my skin is very sensitive and I have frequent out breaks of eczema. As a daily moisturiser I use the Palmers Cocoa Butter.

I adore the smell of cocoa butter it doesn't irritate my skin, it hydrates it and leaves it feeling like silk. Naturally, I was excited to see that there were chunks of cocoa butter hidden inside this bath bomb.

If you look closely, the little brown flecks are the cocoa butter. 

While I was soaking in the bath I rubbed the chunks of coca butter into my skin.

I cannot even explain to you how good it smelt, let alone felt...

 it was absolute bliss!

I got out of the bath, towel dried myself and hopped into some new pajamas.

My skin once dried was still so silky and soft to touch.

It was the kind of silkiness you got when you apply baby oil to your skin. 

However the skin didn't feel oily to the touch.

The bath bomb retails at approximately €3.95.

I would highly recommend this bath bomb for anyone who has very dry/sensitive skin. It's lovely and soothing :)

Have you tried any of the Lush bath bombs? Let me know!
