I was overjoyed to get this darling product from the BR beauty vault. I’m a massive Lush fan so was very excited to try it. Mine came in perfect condition, and looked and smelt delightful!
It is a beautiful pink flamingo on a stick. The smell is super strong which made it tempting to just leave it sitting on my duchess scenting my room! Anyway I didn’t.
I’ve been swirling it around in the bath until the water is pink and aromatic then taking it out to use again. It’s lovely. I hold the flamingo not the stick while I’m swirling though, cos I’m afraid it’ll drop off!
The candy floss scent stays on my skin for a while after getting out of the bath.
It is $12.50, and I will buy one in the future, and recommend it to others – also a very cute gift idea.
This my first bubble bar. I was really lucky to score this in the vault and around the time I acquired a bathtub. I did have other bath bombs at the time and I don't have baths often since I the hot water cylinder is small in this house. It did have a nice fruity scent originally but probably because I didn't use it up within a few months it seems to have lost that scent. I run the water in the tub and swirled the flamingo around and instantly got nice foamy bubbles and it colored the water pink. The amount of bubbles I got reminded me of when my family used to occasionally go for a few days at a nice resort when I was younger and a few times the room we had had a bathtub and foam bath. We used to empty as many bottles of foam bath we could get our small hands on to get as much foam in the bath. This bubble bar got more bubbles with some good swishes in the bath water than three small 30ml bottles of foam bath, probably was cheap stuff too. I eagerly got in the tub to enjoy my lovely pink bath. Here's where it got a bit disappointing, the beautiful bubbles only lasted about ten minutes before like there was only a few sparse clusters of bubbles left in the tub. I tried swishing my hands in the water to sort of revive the foam and swish up more bubbles but I only had pink water. This is my first bubble bar so I don't know if the bubble longevity is short with just this bar or bubble bars in general or if it's a result of not using it up soon enough. The pink water was really nice and moisturizing. When I finished soaking about 20 minutes later I had a film of moisture on my skin which, surprised me because I thought with all those bubbles and foam that my skin would be kinda dry afterwards. I definitely enjoyed this bubble bar and I'm happy that I can get more baths out of this one. I definitely want to try more bubble bars.
Tips: I have pretty sensitive skin and this bubble bar didn't leave my skin splotchy or dry so I would recommend this for people with skin that goes red and itchy after showers. You can get more than one bath out of this but you need to keep it dry in between uses. I put mine on a plate to dry after using it and store it away in a dry place in between uses. If the flamingo breaks you can still use the broken you just have to hold it in your hand and swish in the bath or you can crumble it. You'll still get lots of bubbles.
