Lush Blackberry Bath Bomb Review

So being a huge fan of the twilight bath bomb I brought a few more and blackberry was one of them because of how highly rated it was here.

Lush's bath bomb are massive. The size of an orange so you could get away with cutting it in half but I prefer to go all out and use the whole thing. The colour is light purple with hints of blue through it with the word bomb stamped on it.

I pop it in the bath and watch as it fizzes and sizzles turning my plain water into a purple heaven. Once it is finished fizzing and sizzling I notice a teeny piece of paper with BOOM! written on it I think this is quite cool and made me smile. I hop in and bask in the purple heaven letting my stress go and aches and pains disappear. The bergamot and blackberry scent fills the bathroom and leaves a delicate bergamot scent on my skin when I'm dry.

I'm taking half a point off only because I don't love it like the twilight bath bomb but it definitely is lovely and I will buy it again

I am not the biggest fan of baths, they're lovely while it lasts but I find it super difficult to get myself out of the warm water and let the cold air attack my body haha. Recently I've been wanting to take a nice hot bath and my lovely friend, who's a bit of a Lush junkie, talked me into picking up a bath bomb. I've never been the biggest fan of bubble baths or anything fancy like that, just run the water and hop on in - that's how I've always been. But people continue to rave about these bath bombs so I decided well, why not?

It seems that Lush enjoy putting glitter into almost everything which I am not into, so Blackberry was my bomb of choice as it was nice and simple, no glitter or any chunky bits stuck in it. Everyone had told me to only use half but my attempt in halving the rock hard ball failed, so I just chucked the whole thing in! (I have a pretty standard size tub and like to have deep baths). First off, the colour is gorgeous, one of my favourite colours is purple so I loved the different shades swirling about in my tub. The smell is heavenly, I really enjoy deep, rich fragrances, so the mix of blackberry, frankincense and bergamot was right up my alley - but it could definitely be too strong for some. The warm water really intensifies the fragrance, so laying in the tub you're enveloped by the amazing warmth of the scent. This made the bath water extremely soft and that's exactly what I was hoping for. My skin was in dire need of deep hydration and a good exfoliation so having soaked in the tub with the bath bomb really allowed for my skin to soften. The overall experience is very relaxing, the feeling it gives in the water, the fragrance and the colour - it's more than I had expected.

Afterwards my skin was left feeling silky, smooth and baby soft - it hasn't felt like this in a long time. It really absorbed the lotion I applied after and still feels amazing today - with no dry patches! Fortunately for me my bath wasn't left with any staining or a purple ring - hallelujah! Saves me from scrubbing away after such a relaxing soak. I definitely want to try more or Lush's Bath Bombs (all of them that don't include glitter) but unfortunately we are renovating our bathroom this Summer and the plans are to leave the bath tub behind... So we shall see how many soaks I can fit in before the room is ripped apart.

All in all I am pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this product. It always seemed a little gimmicky to me, like it was just a hyped up, fancy product to colour the water, but I was wrong! I do really recommend you try one if you haven't already, it's definitely worth it!

This was a bath I didn’t really choose, but got as part of a lush gift box, which was either the Lush legends gift box, or the art of bathing. Either way I was excited to try it because I believe it was one of Lush’s original bath bombs, and that in itself makes it a good enough reason to try it, as well as it smelling amazing, and having heard good things from friends and other Lush Lovers../addicts.

So this bath bomb is a bluey/purple in colour, and not a soft lilac purple like the twilight bath bomb. It has the word bomb slightly engraved over the bath bomb, and is about the size of a tennis ball. From first appearances, that’s all I can tell. I can also smell the delicious Lush smell, and I have to say I do like the smell of this bath bomb, but I sniff and sniff but just can’t put my finger on what it smells like. However, one note I do smell is the frankincense in this, which is why I normally use this bath bomb with the bubble bar Blue Skies and fluffy white clouds because they share that frankincense note.

When this bomb is placed in the water, it really explodes like a bomb. Leaving a trail of foam and magenta, and soft purple streaks of colour. Plus it fills the room with a gentle, yet beautiful smell. A really cute aspect about this bomb is that once it explodes, you can see a little piece of paper floating around in the bath, which says boom. This bath bomb leaves the bath water a beautiful deep amethyst purple in colour, which looks amazing!

This bath bomb doesn’t dry my skin out, but doesn’t leave it with a gross oily residue either so I’m pretty happy about this aspect. I have read that some people find this bath bomb leaves a mark around the bath, but my favourite thing about this bath bomb is it leaves no stains or water marks in my bath so I’m not sure why, but I’m not complaining. This is not one of my favourite bath bombs from Lush, but I always have one of these in my cupboards because it’s just a nice simple bath to end a long week at work, without having to think about which bath bomb to use, which is normally a hard decision when you have a lush collection like I do.

I purchased this bath bomb on a whim and thought it sounded dreamy... I was right. As soon as I smelt it I knew I had to have a bath with it straight away.

It is a huge size so I broke it in half (my tub is tiny too). I loved how it fizzed up wildly and turned the bath water a beautiful hue of purple... the scent was drifting up and smelt relaxing and fruity, soft and sweet, a little frankincense as well, but none of which was over-whelming... just subtle... beautiful!

I soaked in this until my bath water went cold and felt nice and soft, but after drying off my skin felt a little tight and dry. I think I will let my kids have the rest of this even though I like the smell I think they will relax with it better, and I'll add some apricot kernel oil in to moisturise. Oh and the wee note inside was a added surprise... Boom :)

My all time favorite lush bath bomb. I find this one very exciting to use and the cute little notes left in the bath after the bath bomb has all fizzed up is a really cute touch. Smells delicious! I use it if i ever get the opportunity to bath in the morning because as relaxing as it is able to awaken my senses. Would highly recommend this bath bomb as it is a great go to for any bath, any time of the day.

A blue dusky grey coloured mandarin sized ball of total heaven, has bomb written on it. And the scent spicy olibanum and musk, bergamot and spice and blackberries the scent is divine. So I pop it in my bath and this bath bomb goes go crazy and it twists and turns and sort of blows up and leaves a trail of purple foam and a little bit of paper that says boom don't know what happened to it, it just went away possibly sucked up the pipes of the spa bath I must admit that was cute, the water goes a lilac colour (I have a massive bath) and the water and my bathroom both smell divine, and I sink into total luxury, and when I get out and I am all dry I also smell so nice. This caused no irritation and I felt nearly a little moisturised and the water was really nice and soft. So just a nice swirl of colour with a fragrance that has become a favourite of mine, this is one I reach for in desperation for a treat for my senses. I use the whole thing no saving it I just relish in the whole experience. As I love a treat once a week in the bath with all the luxuries this is up there on the must haves.

I can get two beautifully scented and coloured baths out of one Blackberry Bath Bomb by cutting it in half, it's absolutely huge! I love that it is just one solid colour, no glitter or pretty decorations are needed to make this baby any more appealing than it already is. The scent is sweet like berries but seems to have a subtle citrusy kick to it from the addition of bergamot and frankincense which also gives it a very slight woody scent. One downside to this bath bomb is that it does leave a stubborn purple ring that requires a bit of elbow grease to remove, not my favourite thing to do after a relaxing bath but I continue to suck it up and buy these bath bombs.

I was lucky enough recently to receive a couple of these for my birthday they foam up great you don't even have to use it all at once highly reccomended

I 'found' Lush in Canada many years ago and was pleased when they opened here in NZ. I have a few favourite products that I turn to when I want the house smelling divine. With this Blackberry Bath Bomb I left it in front of me on my computer desk for a few days so I could take in the aroma and think about whether it was a smell I liked or maybe not be so keen on. On a Saturday night when I had the evening to myself I decided to run a large hot bath and pop my bath bomb in to enjoy a long soak. The smell was divine and it made my skin feel silky smooth, for hours after my skin still had the gorgeous scent permeating from it. It looks like it has become another favourite.
