Lush Bar Humbug Bubble Bar Review

This is another limited edition delight from lush, this came out around Halloween and Christmas. I just wished some of these scents would hang around a bit longer.

This bubble bar is delicate looking, easily fitting in the palm of my hand. It looks pretty and resembles a roulade with the main colour purple with a swirl of white through it.

I run the bath and just hold this under the running water and watch as the bubbles start to form and turn the water a slight shade of pinky purple then finally setting to a light purple shade.

The scent as soon as you open the bag is a sweet aniseed scent, but when I see fennel is in the ingredient list I can detect that scent as well, It's slightly spicy but the sweetness balances it.

When I lay in the bath I can get more of the aniseed scent than anything else, it's a gorgeous scent but then I love aniseed and liquorice.

I love this scent just on its own without a bath bomb and find its the perfect size to use the whole thing rather than cutting it up, I will repurchase this again next year.

After picking this up to try at Christmas time I found myself overwhelmed by Lush (my own doing) and it was popped aside in favor of other gels, bombs and bubble bars... what a mistake that was. So finally I embraced the Bar of Hum Bug and I was so pleasantly delighted by the aroma... it wasn't as much licorice but more like the candy treat of licorice sandwiched between layers of colourful icing or aka Licorice Allsorts.

Smooth and velvety tones coupled with a wonderfully rich maroon colour to the water... it was a wonderful treat for the senses but sadly I didn't like the feel of my skin after the baths... it always seemed that much dryer and less moisturised than before bathing. The bubbles were typical of a Lush bubble bar, wonderfully full and layered mountains of rainbow bubbles. I wish the shimmer and sparkle would last on the skin a bit longer after hopping out.

I love lush bath time I have yet to find a bath bomb or bubble bar that has disappointed me so when I saw this Bah Humbug in their new seasonal range for Christmas it was the first thing to hit the cart.

Packaging wise as with all Lush products there is no official packaging as the company has a no waste policy and so the bath bombs and bubble bars are sold loose and then wrapped up in Lush's recycled paper upon purchasing.

This gorgeous plum purple wrapped with a white filling looks pretty but smells divine as I love the smell of liquorice and it has a blackcurrant and anise type aroma too so it is very enveloping and relaxing yet stimulating too a total win for the morning after cure of hangovers.

Crumbled under a running warm tap the bar creates masses of frothy bright white bubbles that if like me you use the whole bar in a greedy mode where you can easily cut this into 2-3 servings to be more economical. You end up with a confetti of purple, pink and white crumbs all over the tops of the bubbles by the time you immerse yourself within them and into the dark murky purple waters below.

Not only do you get a blissful and relaxing bath that you don't want to leave but once you do pressured yourself to exit it your skin is left soft, supple and highly moisturised. A perfect seasonal treat for mind, body and soul.

Oddly I don't get the smell of liquorice with this bubble bar, I find it quite fruity and quite sweet smelling.

This beautiful plum purple bubble bar is a perfect addition to any bath wethe it be on its own or added in a lush cocktail. It'll leave you relaxed soft and sparkling.

That's right this bubble bar is indeed another lush product with glitter in it. It's not to over powering though like say the intergalctic bath bomb.

When crumbled up under the running water into the bath it creates pinky water not purple, well not as purple as the bar it self.

The bar also creates amazing soft floaty bubbles. Big and frothy! My 3 year old loves it too. It had to be one of her faves.

The water turns soft and silky and it's so so so moisturising on the skin. It's definitely a fave of mine. Sadly I'm almost out! :(

Bah Humbug is often associated with the miser Ebenezer Scrooge. However these bars cost to much to be the bubble bars of misers and the bubble bar itself is generous in its bubbles and not miser-like at all.

Lush's Bar Humbug Bubble Bar to me feels like the Christmas edition of The Comforter Bubble Bar with it's white swirl and replacing the pink with purple. As a result, this bubble bar has the scent of black liquorice. Which I personally can't say is a scent that reminds me of Christmas, but it is a yummy scent anyway.

Crumbling this bubble bar under running water then agitating the water creates plenty of bubbles and then using spa jets can create even more. As such I don't think the whole bubble ba is needed at once because with the whole bubble bar you can create more bubbles than your bath can hold. Personally I cut my bubble bars into quarters. But if you have a bigger bath or want to really treat yourself, half a bubble bar is plenty I think. But it depends on the size of your bath.

I wish they had this bubble bar out all year round.

This is one if my favourite lushy products!!!! Beautiful and delicious and so very decadent! I have just moved into a new home which had a bath, yusss!! So as a home warming treat, we purchased a whole lot of lovely Lush products online. Bath bombs are my ultimate treat and bar humbug delivered big time and I didn't want to hop out! Leaves the skin smelling delicious and soft!
