Lush Blackberry Bath Bomb Review

I was lucky enough recently to receive a couple of these for my birthday they foam up great you don't even have to use it all at once highly reccomended

A blue dusky grey coloured mandarin sized ball of total heaven, has bomb written on it. And the scent spicy olibanum and musk, bergamot and spice and blackberries the scent is divine. So I pop it in my bath and this bath bomb goes go crazy and it twists and turns and sort of blows up and leaves a trail of purple foam and a little bit of paper that says boom don't know what happened to it, it just went away possibly sucked up the pipes of the spa bath I must admit that was cute, the water goes a lilac colour (I have a massive bath) and the water and my bathroom both smell divine, and I sink into total luxury, and when I get out and I am all dry I also smell so nice. This caused no irritation and I felt nearly a little moisturised and the water was really nice and soft. So just a nice swirl of colour with a fragrance that has become a favourite of mine, this is one I reach for in desperation for a treat for my senses. I use the whole thing no saving it I just relish in the whole experience. As I love a treat once a week in the bath with all the luxuries this is up there on the must haves.

I am a huge Lushie. I love almost all their products. I love what Lush stands for. I love the prices. Everything.

This bath Balistic is a personal favourite of mine. The sweet, fruity scent is heavenly and lingers in the bath and on the skin long after you've dried off. The size is large enough that you can use it in two halves and get more value for money and still get the divine purple coloured bath water. Pure Bliss!

This was the best bath I have ever had.

I found these balls to be quite costly but if you only use half at a time, you get more use out of the bomb :)

The smell is amazing which is no surprise when buying lush products

the fizz to the bath makes it that much more exciting.

I found my skin to be so soft after using one of these bombs

I have recommended these balls to people as a perfect was to wind down after work and everyone I have told, have thanked me for telling them about this product.

This was a bath I didn’t really choose, but got as part of a lush gift box, which was either the Lush legends gift box, or the art of bathing. Either way I was excited to try it because I believe it was one of Lush’s original bath bombs, and that in itself makes it a good enough reason to try it, as well as it smelling amazing, and having heard good things from friends and other Lush Lovers../addicts.

So this bath bomb is a bluey/purple in colour, and not a soft lilac purple like the twilight bath bomb. It has the word bomb slightly engraved over the bath bomb, and is about the size of a tennis ball. From first appearances, that’s all I can tell. I can also smell the delicious Lush smell, and I have to say I do like the smell of this bath bomb, but I sniff and sniff but just can’t put my finger on what it smells like. However, one note I do smell is the frankincense in this, which is why I normally use this bath bomb with the bubble bar Blue Skies and fluffy white clouds because they share that frankincense note.

When this bomb is placed in the water, it really explodes like a bomb. Leaving a trail of foam and magenta, and soft purple streaks of colour. Plus it fills the room with a gentle, yet beautiful smell. A really cute aspect about this bomb is that once it explodes, you can see a little piece of paper floating around in the bath, which says boom. This bath bomb leaves the bath water a beautiful deep amethyst purple in colour, which looks amazing!

This bath bomb doesn’t dry my skin out, but doesn’t leave it with a gross oily residue either so I’m pretty happy about this aspect. I have read that some people find this bath bomb leaves a mark around the bath, but my favourite thing about this bath bomb is it leaves no stains or water marks in my bath so I’m not sure why, but I’m not complaining. This is not one of my favourite bath bombs from Lush, but I always have one of these in my cupboards because it’s just a nice simple bath to end a long week at work, without having to think about which bath bomb to use, which is normally a hard decision when you have a lush collection like I do.

Lush Blackberry Bath Bomb is a fizzy purple bliss after a long stressful day. It has a lovely fragrance that isn't too strong but strong enough that it remains on your skin and in the bathroom for the evening. The purple colour is beautiful and doesn't stain your skin or the bath. A soak with the luscious Blackberry Bath Bomb is the perfect way to end the day. I think it is worth the RRP and I would purchase this for myself and/or friends and family.

Blackberry bath bomb - in other words pure unadulterated sensual heaven.

Fantastic after a long stressful day, lovely fragrance, skin feels smooth and luxurious.

Initial impressions - Lovely soft blue coloured bath bomb with a sweet fruity yet floral scent and just a hint of tang. Not really what I would think of as blackberry, though.

When you drop it in it really lives up to the name bath 'bomb' - it explodes quickly into a very enthusiastic fizz of colour, and out pops a cute little note reading 'Boom!'. It's been really beautifully done, with a mix of rich violets, soft periwinkles and bright magentas shooting out in bright darts of colour and then mixing together to leave the bath water a lovely lilac colour. A+ for putting on a good show, there was definitely an out loud "wow" moment when it first exploded into action and the colour show was lovely.

At this point it definitely smells like very sweet ripe blackberries with some musky undertones and the scent really fills the room - heaven. In the water, your skin feels very silky and smooth, and once dry it maintains a very soft feel. I do love bath products that not only make the bath itself a nice experience but also leave your skin feeling wonderful, so this is definitely a big win in my book.

The big thing for me with bath products is whether they leave a nasty, hard to remove ring when you're done, so the end of the bath was the moment of truth for me. It definitely left a fairly bright ring around the tub but it wiped away easily with a damp flannel (which I always do anyway) so I am one happy camper! Would definitely rebuy and look forward to exploring their range.

There were two things I noticed as soon as I took the bomb out of the packaging: the amazing scent and the animal test friendly note on the packaging. Both of these are important selling points for me. The bath bomb made the whole bathroom smell heavenly before it even went into the bath. And the smell for me was very relaxing. It dissolved very quickly and left no grainy remains in the bath. The water became soft and almost creamy. I felt the moisture difference in my skin when drying with the towel, almost as if I had rubbed baby oil over my body, it was silky soft.
