I gave my wee son this for Christmas as I was getting his sister a few bits from Lush and he doesn't like to miss out.. he is 3 so of course I run his baths etc. I kind of liked the sound of lavender and patchouli when I purchased this online but once in the hand I found the scent very masculine and herb-ish/earthy and not as relaxing as lavender should be.
The bubbles are amazing with only a little bit of product needed to make mountains of foam. the colour of the water is a light navy blue and the scent... so strong it permeates through my house for hours after which is great if you enjoy the scent but it wasn't for me although my son seemed to enjoy his baths and asked for blue water and bubbles so it was a hit with him. It's was a little drying on the skin though and less is definitely more with this product... he has had well over ten baths already and probably has a few more left in the last third of the bubble bar.
I did like the appearance of the bar at first.. it was two sponge-roll type pieces of white and blue glued together with blue in a yo-yo type arrangement.
This was a bubble bar I first received as part of a gift set, and I was beyond excited. Mostly because I had already tried the two other bubble bars from this range that were similar (Brightside and comforter) and those were two products I fell in love with, so I had high hopes for this one too.
This bubble bar comes in a reasonably flat and round circle, kind of like a doughnut but missing the hole in the middle. In the picture, this bubble bar is a vibrant blue, but I found mine to be more of a dusky bluey-purple but maybe I just got a faulty one, who knows.
This bubble bar is huge so its value for money and I can get 4 generous baths from this, maybe even more if I had to. I cut this into four pieces, and use one piece at a time by crumbling it under running water and it creates lavish bubbles, slightly tints the water to the bluey-purple colour and puts a frankincense smell into the air.
When I used this bubble bar, I literally hated the smell. I was not a fan of that slightly musky and woody smell that accompanies the frankincense scent and so I wasn’t a fan of this at all. There was something about the smell that just did not make my bath relaxing at all.
Overall, this is not one of my favourite scents from Lush even though the smell has grown on me a little. If you love the smell of frankincense which I know some of you do, this would be the perfect bubble bar for you.
