I bought this bomb in the Firecracker pack Lush had at Christmas, as I knew it was new and it was the only way (at the time) that I could get my paws on it. It arrived safely in its box and I was sceptical that this and the two other things would be worth the $30 price tag that comes with the Firecracker.
This bath bomb is all over a deep blue, with hints of color poking out in the middle. I cut mine in half as my tub is only small, and this bomb is huge. Half of it was enough to color my tub beautifully and I was awed the entire time it fizzed away. It reminded me of the movie Gravity; it made me feel like I was up there in the stars.
The blue colored the water immediately, floating down and around like mist over the water at night. Then came the colors! Pinks, oranges, greens, purples golds, everything!! These colors against the now blue water was breathtaking. The entire time the bomb was spitting out glitter, so now the water is glittery, colorful and just beautiful. Once the bomb has gone completely you are left with blue waters and a whoooole lot of glitter, which reminded me of a starry night, if only the blue was darker it would've been perfect, but it is very much "intergalactic".
I crumbled my bomb up towards the end and it looked like tiny galaxies surrounded by stars and a lovely blue sky. The smell of this bath bomb at first was weird, but it is very lovely. My initial smell was peppermint, but then it was some other smells that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but it was very relaxing, warming and just generally lovely. They now have added it to their permanent range and I definitely recommend it cos it's beautiful!
Mirror mirror on the wall who’s the shimmery-est of them all? This intergalactic bath bomb that’s who! Goodness me, if there is one thing I remember this bath bomb for it has to be the shimmer shimmer it is fair PACKED with the fairy dust.
The bold deep blue of this bath bomb with a slight yellow centre looks like it should belong in our solar system. It is a decent size, just fitting in the palm of your hand. As I place it in the bath and watch it fizzing round and round I watch as it throws a splash of pink and yellow looking foam and turning the bath water an amazing bright cobalt blue.
As I take in the scent of the bright blue water I get a hint of peppermint and then a divine woody, musky scent. It is so perfectly balanced I could bathe in it all night long, I wouldn’t even mind if I came out looking like a wrinkled up prune.
The second time I used this bath bomb I used the “ice blue” soap and the two are a match made in heaven since both carry the peppermint scent.
Once I dry myself my skin feels lovely and soft and leaves a slight musky scent on my skin, it leaves a lot of fairy dust on my skin, which reminds me you need to rinse the bath after your done or take a cloth to clean the rest of the fairy dust off the bath. The first time I forgot to and the next morning it looked like a sand storm had been through the tub.
I will definitely buy this again and I am pretty sure this is my new favourite beating the old favourites “twilight” “dragons egg” and “fizzbanger” this really is the whole package. The scent, the colour of the water and the fairy dust. Everyone needs to try this bath bomb at least once.
