I bought this for my daughter (who loves flamingos) as a birthday treat, sadly the one I ordered online arrived decapitated so I did a mad dash to the local Lush store to pick up a replacement. She loved it! (and I get to enjoy the broken one secretly lol). It smells very fruity (I think berry) and not quite as sweet as other pink Lush treats. She loved her Magic wand at Christmas and if you liked that scent you may well like the flamingo bubble bar too. It has a fruitier scent to it than the sweet smell of the magic wand and about half as many uses. My daughter only got 3 baths out of her bar and already craves another flamingo to replace hers... luckily I have a spare.
It foams well and leaves the water a beautiful bright hue of pink (the small section of orange washes away really quickly).
There is no sparkle or shimmer with this one unlike Magic wand. It leaves our skin feeling soft but after a while it starts to feel a little dry. This isn't like other bubble bars that you need to crumple as it dissolves in the water by swirling around and therefor you avoid the skin grabby feeling some bars leave your hands with.
At Christmas time I fell in love with the magic wand bubble wand, (that snow fairy scented one) it was cute and a great idea reusing it and it was especially great for the mini-me's. And it produced an awesome amount of bubbles for such little use. So when I noticed this came out after Christmas I had to get it.
This lil fella is rather top heavy, the stick I find to be rather long and thin so when your swirling it around the bath or under the tap I feel like it's all going to break, luckily it hasn't yet but I still treat it gently.
The bright pink colour of this fella really stands out from the crowd, i don't think I have seen a brighter pink from lush yet, it's simply gorgeous. The scent is definitely fruity. I can't get the scent of any particular fruit just a fruity cocktail like the label says. It's quite strongly scented which I love as I'm all for the strong scents.
I swirl this around the bath for about 10 seconds and watch as the mountains of bubbles form and turn the bath water to a light shade of pink and leaving the water delicately scented with the sweet fruity scent. I love this bubble wand even though it makes me feel hungry with the delish sweet scent.
It leaves a very faint sweet scent on my skin after I dry. Lovely bubble wand and great for the mini-me's too.
