Lush Blackberry Bath Bomb Review

Lush is my best friend and my new passion. Blackberry bath bomb was my first purchase and the beginning of my love story with Lush. What's not to love? It's purple, it's natural, cruelty free, it's for relaxation and it smells divine! For $6.90 per bomb, it's the cheapest alternative to a spa treatment in a ball of fizz.

It is a lavender purple colour and maintains it's vibrant colour once dropped in to a bath of hot water. I found that it had blue bits of 'stuff' in it which made me scratch my head at it a bit wondering what it was. Once it hits the water the fizzing is awesome and disappears within 30-45 seconds.

The smell of blackberries and all things berry fill the room and give it a fruity sweetness. It is actually quite calming after a long day at work or a long being a mama.

I slide in to the tub and the days worries simply melt away in the tub while I am transported to my own blackberry goodness smelling world where it's just me and the warmth surrounding me. My senses are put at ease and my muscles turn to jelly as they are enveloped by the sweet smell.

Afterward my skin is feeling very slippery but replenished and relaxed. The only down side to this bath bomb is that it leaves a scummy purple ring around my tub so I am rudely snapped back in to the reality of cleaning it to make sure it doesn't become a permanent fixture of my bath. I love it so much though that I always have a three bath bomb back up at all times to make sure I have some on hand.

I can get two beautifully scented and coloured baths out of one Blackberry Bath Bomb by cutting it in half, it's absolutely huge! I love that it is just one solid colour, no glitter or pretty decorations are needed to make this baby any more appealing than it already is. The scent is sweet like berries but seems to have a subtle citrusy kick to it from the addition of bergamot and frankincense which also gives it a very slight woody scent. One downside to this bath bomb is that it does leave a stubborn purple ring that requires a bit of elbow grease to remove, not my favourite thing to do after a relaxing bath but I continue to suck it up and buy these bath bombs.

My all time favorite lush bath bomb. I find this one very exciting to use and the cute little notes left in the bath after the bath bomb has all fizzed up is a really cute touch. Smells delicious! I use it if i ever get the opportunity to bath in the morning because as relaxing as it is able to awaken my senses. Would highly recommend this bath bomb as it is a great go to for any bath, any time of the day.

There are still a few bombs left from Lush that I am yet to try, and until today this was one of them. I was quite excited as it smelled divine, and the coloring of it was gorgeous. I could see a sneaky piece of paper sticking out and I wondered what it said.

I plopped it in the bath today and waited to see what colors would amaze me and see what was hidden within. I waited, and waited. Nothing! The bomb fizzed quite quickly, and the beautiful purple color filled the bath, but there was no wow, no surprise color inside, no lustre to tickle my fancy. To be honest, I was disappointed.

The smell that came off the bomb was nothing like a blackberry. I got hints of sweet, strong frankincense and a bit of bergamot, but very little of the beautiful fruity blackberry, and as I bought it for the blackberry smell, I'm slightly disappointed.

As always, Lush never cease to amaze me with how soft my skin is after I use their delightful bombs. This bomb would be repurchased, simply for the fact that it is uplifting. I have been severely under the weather the last few days and this has perked me up and cheered me up ever so slightly. So while it was disappointing, it was also the only thing I needed to feel like myself again.

This bath bomb smells sooo nice it is so relaxing and it leaves you with a surprise in your bath! I love the smell and it is amazing for just before bed because it really helps me fall asleep!

This bath bomb has bomb on it and when I put it in the bath it fizzes away turning the water a lovely purple colour.

Then in the middle of the bomb popped a small square of paper that said boom. I'm not to sure about this maybe something that could go down the plug hole would have been better.

It smell lovely and my whole house smells of blackberries. My skin feels silky smooth.

Back in the 90s there was an amazing mail order company called Cosmetics to Go, who later became the Lush we all know and love today. This is one of the bath bombs that CTG used to do. Recently Lush announced that they would be discontinuing this one so I had to get it once more for old times sake.

This is still very much the same as it has always been. Just a simple, old school bath bomb. No big show or lots of glitter. It's a fast fizzer and quickly leaves the water a lovely violet colour. The name is quite misleading as it doesn't really smell of blackberry. It's more warming than fruity, thanks to the frankincense. I get more of a sherbet lollies smell than actual blackberry fruit. There is a wee surprise at the end but nothing like you get with more recent bombs.

As with all Lush bombs, it leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. I can get away with not moisturising afterwards but feel like my skin could still benefit from it. I wish Lush would reconsider discontinuing this. Not everyone wants or can use a glittery, jelly filled bomb and this bomb is perfect for those who want a simpler but still relaxing soak.

This does smell delicious and im totally impresssed that these are fully vegan products - animal friendly and great for the environment. However, very expensive for what they are! They smell Devine, look pretty in the bath for about a minute and then that’s it. No benefits to my skin or body whatsoever. I won’t be buying again

Wow. I could smell the bath bomb through the courier bag! If I didn't know what was in the bag I would have thought I had received Lush' Sultana of Soap. It smells like a beautiful blend of musky flowers that just lingers in the room well after everyone has left.

The product is the size of a tennis ball - borrowed my dog's ball to confirm :-) ; similar texture to a piece of chalk but less powdery and a tad grainy. I tried to split the ball in two so I could place one at each end of the tub but it was too hard and a tad messy so I just placed it in the middle of the tub and watch it drop just below the water surface and dissolve rapidly.

The water changed from clear to lilac to a dark lavender colour with swirls of pink at the bottom of the tub. I pushed the bath bomb around the tub for an even distribution of colour and to hurry it up because I just wanted to jump in! I found a tiny piece of paper that said BOOM! which is cool if you're into that kind of novelty but it could have easily gone down the drain and I never would have noticed.

Even with the door closed the fragrance travelled throughout the hallway to the front room. It felt so relaxing soaking in the tub and breathing in that fragrance; I could have stayed for hours if not for scary wrinkly skin and cold water! I'm wondering if there are any moisturising properties because I noticed spots of what looked like oil throughout the water. I definitely felt my legs were moisturised and I hadn't even applied soap yet. On me the fragrance lasted 2 hours and in the house over 4 hours before starting to fade.

Unfortunately I don't think I would use this again mainly because of the purple water stains it leaves on the tub. After a relaxing soak the last thing you want to do is wipe down the bath tub; it took me 2 rounds to ensure I wiped it all. It also stains your toe nails, it'll come off easily while in the tub but I had to remove my varnish because the stain had already set (my own fault for not wiping it off in tub).

I Loooove lush, and this bathbomb is no exception. The first thing that hits you is the smell. It has a gorgeous floral/bitter berry smell with undertones of musk. Unlike other bath bombs I;ve tried the smell lingers for most of the bath rather than wearing off which is great! The colour is gorgeous, turning the water a deep blue/purple which swirl together throughout the bath.

I didnt find this bathbomb created many bubbles, which suits me fine since I'm not a bubble girl, but might disappoint others. Its also not as creamy as some of the others, so doesnt leave my skin feeling oily

My only gripe with this product is its quite large, and if you have a small-average sized bath there is a build up of colour that sticks to feet and baths! Some of Lush's other products are easy to break in half but that not possible with this particular one.
