Lush Butterbear Review

...But it's just as good!

This delightful bear is a Christmas exclusive, sharing the exact same make up as Butterball bath bomb, but it's in a delightful bear shape! Just looking at it you can tell its going to be creamy and make your skin silky smooth.

The bear goes in the water and dissolves in a fizzy meltdown, releasing the chunks of cocoa butter that melt and surround your body with its delicious softness. It's like a bomb and a melt in one, so its really good value.

The vanilla scent is really nice and with the addition of cocoa butter it's slightly chocolatey but not overly so - not a smell that transfers well in the bath at least. I find both scents don't really transfer to the bath so I usually cut my bears in half and use it with another bomb that has the show and the smell.

It is a nice bomb, and one I will definitely repurchase!

Ahhhh, Christmas at Lush! There is no sweeter time of year! Despite being a Lushie from the start, I've only just got back into bath bombs so I hadn't tried this one before or Butterball which this is supposedly a limited edition version of.

This is a small, budget friendly bomb making it ideal for those of us with smaller baths. Butterbear is a very fast fizzer -he vanishes in minutes, leaving behind a cocoa butter aroma cloud and doesn't put on any kind of show. There is no colour to the water but discernible blobs of melted cocoa butter float on the surface. And that is what made me love Butterbear. Unlike other reviewers, I love the layer of cocoa butter it left on my skin. I'm a big fan of King of Skin body butter (it's one of the Lush products I must always have at home) and Butterbear feels like bathing in King of Skin. My skin seems to lap up all the cocoa butter goodness and isn't left greasy at all.

My skin remained well moisturised until my next shower. A faint cocoa butter aroma lingered on my skin for a couple of hours but it mostly smelt just fresh and clean. I would definitely use this again or Butterball. As much as I love a good bath bomb show, I love the skin benefits of this one.

As soon as the Christmas Lush products hit the store, I am there to buy up allllll the Butterbear Bath Bombs. Firstly, it is the cutest darn bath bomb you ever did see. Secondly, it smells amazing and is the most moisturising bath bomb I have ever used. My Christmas has not started until the product is in my bathroom! Calling all Christmas lovers - I have found the perfect bath bomb for you.
