Lush Candy Mountain Review

This does smell delicious and im totally impresssed that these are fully vegan products - animal friendly and great for the environment. However, very expensive for what they are! They smell Devine, look pretty in the bath for about a minute and then that’s it. No benefits to my skin or body whatsoever. I won’t be buying again

I bought this (okay, I bought 4... on a whim... online), and I had high expectations I guess that these bubbles would copiously fill the room with a small amount of product (these aren't as big as their other bubble bars) and the scent is soft vanilla (kind of like the old Bazooka Joe bubble gum).

It crumbles easily under pressure and when immersed in water it dissolve faster than others I have used. the Bath water turn a cloudy white shade mostly with hardly a bit of pink in sight and the subtle shimmer on the bar doesn't linger either.

I have to say that I thought this would be ultra sweet (given the name Candy Mountain) and full of huge bubbles but I am left underwhelmed by this one but that is probably also because I have so many of the Lush brands other bubble bars that I feel surpass expectations or have a much nicer scent. I have re-gifted the ones I haven't opened and the one I have opened I am using up in my kids baths.

I rated this a little higher than I would normally due to the fact that the bubble cone looks like a unicorns horn so it makes a perfect wee gift for little girls (and grown up girls too).

In case it wasn't apparent I am obsessed with Lush especially the bath bombs range. The Candy Mountain is a Christmas limited edition so of course I 'NEEDED' to have it in my hot lil mitts. The name Candy peaked my senses first off. Anything sweet has my name all over it.

The bomb itself is quite pleasing to the eyes with white-ish and pink dots and swirls made in to the shape of an upside down cone or a mountain if you will. It has glitter sprinkled sparingly to give it that bling bling feel. It would make any young girl or young girl at heart weak at the knees like it did me. I loved the look and scent of this so much that I bought four of the same bomb so I was stocked up until next xmas range comes out.

I decided it was time to dwindle down on my ever growing stash so chose the Candy Mountain. I dropped it in the hot water and was shocked that at first it turned the water a faded lemon yellow colour before it dissolved and created a bubbly mass of fluffiness in my tub. It was indeed a glorious sight and I could not wait to slip in to the bubbly goodness. It actually created more bubbles than I would have thought which was amazing.

What annoyed me the most is that it didn't dissolve in the water as fast as it should have. In fact ten minutes in to my bath I still found big chunks of it floating around the tub which I had to break up myself. The smell is beyond sweet, almost too sweet for my liking. I am normally all in for sweet scents but this was fruit stick lollies in a bomb. No thank you! I had to counteract the sweetness with some floral/sweet body wash so the sweet wouldn't make me sick.

I did however, like the glitter sheen it left all over my body and the soft skin I had after getting out. It was subtle but beautiful. I didn't however like the scrubbing the glitter off afterwards! Annoying! If you are in to very, very sweet scents, love glitter, love bubbles and soft skin this is most definitely for you!

This bubble bar is from the same scent family as Snow Fairy which I'm really not a fan of. It's just too sickly sweet for me. This however, takes the best elements of Snow Fairy but is much more subtle when crumbled into water. The vanilla gives it warmth. It produces masses of bubbles. I got about four bubble filled baths out of one bar when I crumbled it through a net. The bubbles also last for ages once you are in the bath.

This didn't really leave much scent on my skin. It did leave it feeling soft though and I didn't feel the need to apply lotion afterwards. I would use this again but only occasionally (I've had this one bar over a year) as it's still not a smell I am always in the mood for. Snow Fairy and other candy loving fans however will love this.

A basket of these bright pink and white glistening bubble bars caught my eye on a trip to Lush. A few of these little beauties snuck their way into my shopping basket with all of their sweet, vanilla glory.

A bubble bar is a solid yet soft product that looks to be a cross between a soap and a bath bomb. You can pop the whole lot into a bath, or crumble a smaller amount in. Candy Mountain crumbles easily, so it is quick and simple to break a small amount off and leave the rest in the bag for the next bath. I would usually get 3-4 uses out of this product as I don't use a large amount in the bath. This product is designed to fragrance the bath, rather than provide hydration.

A wonderful suggestion that I received from the lady at Lush was to break small amount of this off into the washing machine. I wear a lot of black, so usually my washing machine is either filled with towels or black clothing. I continue to use washing powder but pop a small amount of the Candy Mountain in with the washing powder to leave a sweet fragrance on my clothing. I would have never thought to use it in this way but it is fabulous!

This product is perfect for those who enjoy a sweet scent, but can sometimes find them overwhelming or sickly. Because you have complete control over how much product is used, you can use a small amount to slightly sweeten a bath, without a candy overload. I now have a preference for lighter, fruitier scents so I won't be repurchasing this product, however I will repurchase something similar with a different scent.

i really liked this product as it smelt sweet and fresh. it made my skin very smooth. The result is lots of bubbles and made the bathroom smell delicious.

The scent was super sweet and sugary, a bit overpowering but I still enjoyed it. I did smell sweet and sugary for a while afterwards too

I love this! I've purchased it last year and this year for Christmas and its amazing. It smells like the snow fairy scent from lush but more vanillary so it's not as sickly.It makes wonderful candy smelling bubbles in the bath and leaves a pink sparkly tinge to the bath water. The only bad thing about this one is you have to use all of it if you like to have lots of bubbles like me. If not it would be able to be used in two or three pieces, it just depends on personal preference. But it's the perfect gift for young girls.

I love snow fairy shower gel for Lush, so I was extra super excited to get the bubble bar counterpart! It smells of the same extra sweet candy scent.

I have found that crumbling some of the mountain under the running water is the best way to get the most bubbles and have your mountain last as long as possible. It creates a good amount of bubbles, which hold the slightly shiny quality the bar has when dry. The bubbles also lasted over half my bath time, which was great as I usually soak for a couple of hours. After the bath I felt soft and my skin slightly smelt of the candy-goodness (no where near as much as when using the gel though).

All in all I'm happy, although the bar is smaller than I'd like.

If you enjoy a sweet scent- and I mean enjoy the smell of syrup sweet- then you'll love this. If you don't, try one of Lush's many other scents. This came in a gift my boyfriend bought me and I used it with the matching Snow Fairy shower gel to smell like a sugary sweet vanilla candy queen.
