This is a huge globe of a bomb. I only used half of it as I am still reluctant to spend as much money on one bath what I would do on a bottle of wine lol. Half seemed to do the job just fine and it still put on a spectacular show.
This bomb definitely lives up to his name and when it hits the water, it quickly turns from a planet into an entire galaxy. Bursts of yellow, pink and light blue swirl to become a dark midnight blue. The colour is just stunning. It is full of glitter that is suspended in the inky depths, giving the illusion of twinkly stars. I really did feel like a mermaid bathing in a galaxy!
Every time I went to get out of the bath, those stars made me just relax back into it. It left my skin soft, although not as much as some other bombs (maybe because I only used half?) but I felt no need to moisturise afterwards. Scent wise I could smell peppermint when it first hit the water but couldn't notice this when I was in the bath. I seriously think Lush has destroyed my sense of smell with its strong scents though. It did leave a subtle scent on my skin afterwards which I can't quite define -clean and fresh but with a powdery undertone. It did also leave some glitter behind but it just gave my skin a subtle glow in the light, not full on 'five year old fairy princess party'!
This bomb did leave a lot of glitter at the bottom of the bath, although thankfully not a ring around it, and it easily rinsed away. I would've quite happily left the glitter there but the cat considers the bath to be his giant water bowl.
This is more than a mere bath bomb. It is an experience. I will definitely use it again. I might even knock myself out next time and use a whole one!
Lush's Intergalactic Bath Bomb certainly lives up to its name.
The bath bomb is circular, predominantly a colbaltish blue with lines of pink and yellow through the middle of each half. It actually reminds me of the Earth in bath bomb form slightly but with less landmass and different colours dipicted. On the surface of the bath bomb you can also see the glitter that is mixed into in.
When putting in the bath it turns your water a deeper blue. From the moment it touches the water, blue ink is instantly visible in the bath, followed by streaks of pink and yellow. The bath bomb is a reasonable size and the colour is quite strong so if you have a smaller bath you could possibly cut this in half and still get the whole effect.
Once the bath bomb has dissolved, the bath looks like it's holding a mini galaxy. In the water you can also see lots of glitter swirling around. Or should I say stars.
The two scents I picked up from this were a peppermint and woody scent.
After your bath you may want to give it a quick rinse down as well just to make sure the glitter and colour does properly wash away. You will also be glittery yourself, but you wouldn't want to wash that away would you?
