Let me tell you the story of a wee bubble bar that was neglected for far too long. A tale of pure greed. You see, back in 2015, Lush had an epic Boxing Day sale. And I mean epic. I bought waaaaay too much. So much that I am still using products from that sale over a year later.
When this bubble bar first arrived, it was pretty and pink - how it should be. It smelt sweet and indeed just like candy and it's much loved sister Snow Fairy. But time has not been kind to this one. Once I finally dug it out from its dark hiding place, the colour had faded to a kind of griege. The sweet scent was still there but not so strong. I can normally get three big bubbly baths from a bar this size. This bar was very crumbly. I used my usual method of putting a piece of the bar in a net to put under running water to create more bubbles. It never really happened. The bubbles I did get disappeared within minutes of me getting in. The water did not change color and did not leave any scent on my skin. I felt the need to put on body lotion as soon as I got out.
Lesson learnt: Lush bubble bars and bombs are designed to be used fresh. So that's what I'm doing from now on. No more hoarding of bubble bars and only buying them when I'm ready to actually use them. I'll probably give this one another go one day. I feel that I am reasonable for it being a bit of a dud this time because I ignored it for so long. Hence my rating as I'm sure it is much better when used fresh as Lush intended.
The amount of bubbles that came from this little bar were heavenly. Soft and sweet they were just what I needed after a long, cold day. The bath left me feeling relaxed and smelling like a delightful piece of candy!
Will definitely go back for more.
