Lush Review - Blackberry Bath Bomb

The Blackberry bath bomb

This has to be one of my favourite bath bombs, not just because I love the colour it turns my bath or the enthralling smell, but also because it only has nine ingredients. Which, for someone who has recently become much more aware of the chemicals she's exposing her body to, is a great relief.







List of ingredients;
- Sodium Bicarbonate
- Citric Acid
- Perfume
- Bergamot Oil
- Frankincense Oil
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Lilial
- Colour 42053
- Colour 17200

The moment before you drop the ballistic into the water is, in my opinion, the best part. You're waiting to see the burst of life this bath bomb is given and it's a thrilling wait that I always struggle with.

The Bath bomb sinks at first but is quick to pop back up to the surface, so that you can see its explosion in great detail.

You can instantly see the change in the colour of the bath water and it's fair to say no one could be disappointed; especially when the bath bomb in its dry state is a seemingly dull light lilac/blue colour.

Not only does the bomb release a vivid purple colouring for the water but a few pink specs appear too (these eventually dissolve and merge with the purple but it adds a little something to the transformation).

There is a slight foamy residue that evolves just as the bomb starts its fizzing decline, but this dissolves with the swish of a hand through the water.

The fizzing period is quite short which is a little disheartening because the sound is strangely calming, but the radiant colour easily makes up for it! The smell is as advertised; relaxing and uplifting, but you still can't imagine how much so until you try it...

Not many of my pictures really do the colour justice except maybe this one - although it is much more striking in person.

It also has just the slightest of shimmers, which, unlike glitter, don't stick to your skin and aren't overpowering.. what could be better?





Basically what I think I'm trying to say is that you should buy one and try it for yourself!!






Stay Excellent
