Lush Creamy Candy Bubble Bar Review

This is ridiculously delicous. I can't get over how amazing it smells. I love how easily they break up and disolve in the bath, and create so many bubbles!! It leaves such a beautiful smell lingering on my skin. It does feel smooth afterwards, but I wouldn't be suggesting using it to make your skin moisturised and soft, it's really just beautiful smelling and very relaxing. Only con was I find I get build up in my bath from the oils.

Some of their bars can be hit and miss, But this one isn't too bad. Its not the best but also isn't the worst in terms of bubbleness. It bubbles enough to cover the bath much as it should do. It isn't inches of bubbles but enough. These bubbles don't last long but are a nice feeling initially. They feel nice and soothing while using and leave the skin soft. What sells it is the smell. I love the smell as do my kids. I usually buy it mostly for them and they love the scent. So you do get your moneys worth with the scent and softening effect. I find the product build-up does settle on the sides so can sometimes need a wipe away after usage. Would use again though, for the smell alone.. I see someone below suggested crumbling the bar up so I may try that.

I was given one of these bars for Christmas last year. It smells nice, feels nice, and is certainly a fun addition to one's bath. The only problem I have with it is that the fragrance is a little overpowering, and makes you want to get out of your nice warm bath to raid a candy shop. Unfortunately it doesn't taste as good as it smells :P but that might be a good thing. It does make me wonder what it would look like if a sprinkler ever went off in a Lush store - would we see a wave of glittery bubbles rising up and overflowing the shelves?

All in all, this bar is quite nice. I am thinking of getting a few for all the hard to please people on my list this Christmas!

Let me tell you the story of a wee bubble bar that was neglected for far too long. A tale of pure greed. You see, back in 2015, Lush had an epic Boxing Day sale. And I mean epic. I bought waaaaay too much. So much that I am still using products from that sale over a year later.

When this bubble bar first arrived, it was pretty and pink - how it should be. It smelt sweet and indeed just like candy and it's much loved sister Snow Fairy. But time has not been kind to this one. Once I finally dug it out from its dark hiding place, the colour had faded to a kind of griege. The sweet scent was still there but not so strong. I can normally get three big bubbly baths from a bar this size. This bar was very crumbly. I used my usual method of putting a piece of the bar in a net to put under running water to create more bubbles. It never really happened. The bubbles I did get disappeared within minutes of me getting in. The water did not change color and did not leave any scent on my skin. I felt the need to put on body lotion as soon as I got out.

Lesson learnt: Lush bubble bars and bombs are designed to be used fresh. So that's what I'm doing from now on. No more hoarding of bubble bars and only buying them when I'm ready to actually use them. I'll probably give this one another go one day. I feel that I am reasonable for it being a bit of a dud this time because I ignored it for so long. Hence my rating as I'm sure it is much better when used fresh as Lush intended.
