Hola! Yesterday I received a big box of goodies I had bought online from 'Lush', and I just couldn't wait to jump in the bath and use them.. Maybe just because I'm a nerd and was excited to write a blog post about them, but we'll pretend that isn't the case!!
I do love all Lush products, some more than others, because I think it's very special that they're all hand made and made with all vegan materials. Although, I do believe some of the products are very over priced!
The first bath bomb I wanted to try was 'Soot Ball Ballistic', which is currently online and in store for £2.50 (click here to buy this little fella). When I saw this bath bomb online I fell in love almost instantly. The two big eyes were just a killer for me, who'd be able to resist them?! They're so cute! Although, I wasn't too sure on the colour.
The size of the bath bomb is average, nothing too big, but nothing too small. Just enough to fit in the palm of your hand. And of course, just as it's name states, it is very 'sooty.' No, it's not real soot, but the dust from the bath bomb does get all over your hands and basically anywhere it touches! Soot Ball is a brown/black powder with little shimmers of gold in, which glitter in the light and look very very pretty!
As soon as the bath bomb touched the water, it instantly started fizzing and changing the bath water. To my surprise, although there was a slight appearance of a brown colour to begin with, the water wasn't changed to a murky black as I expected, but a lovely orangey citrus colour, which was very relaxing! You can see the soap instantly foaming through the melting bath bomb, and you straight away get a whiff of the most relaxing smell.
It did take a while for me to realise what the smell was exactly, but after being in the bath a while, it was easy to recognise the smell as a citrus and frankincense mixture. To me, most of the Lush products are very strong smelling, sometimes overwhelming, but 'Soot Ball' is more of a relaxing smell than an 'oh my gosh I have a headache!!!' smell.
The bath bomb did take a while to disperse, and I did end up trying to crumble it down in my fingers, but all in all, I think it's a fabulous bath bomb. My skin feels very soft after being in the bath for about half an hour, but doesn't feel oily or sticky. I can also still smell the scent on my skin which is very pleasant. I don't think it's my favourite, as I am still a very big fan of 'Butterball' (you can buy 'Butterball' here) and don't think that could ever be beaten.
So, overall, I would recommend 'Soot Ball', as it has many positives, but I also don't think it gives a gob smacking response. But, what else can you expect from a £2.50 bath bomb? Personally, I think it was definitely worth the £2.50!
What do you think, have you tried Soot Ball? If not which Lush bath bombs have you tried?
