Honestly I almost feel bad for giving this a semi fence sitter, semi bad review after reading all the lovely things you girls wrote about it. I wanted to love it so much but alas I must tell it like it is. Let us start with the good points so I am not entirely a negative nancy.
The bomb is beyond gorgeous in appearance. I mean which girl would turn a nose up at a purple bomb swirled with golden glitter. It is the dreams of pretty things. The smell is OK at best. It is cinnamon and vanilla mixed. I can't say I am a fan of the smell especially the cinnamon.
After placing it in the bath, it really does what it promises which is a sight to behold. It drops to the bottom of the bath and literally rises in hues of purple and gold luster. The dried cinnamon that was on the top of the bath bomb floats in the tub like an out of place random thing??!! I get that it's supposed to be there but I really dislike a brown random leaf floating in my bath disturbing my perfect soak. The smell that fills my nostrils is actually alot nicer soaking in the bath than it is in bomb form. I could get used to this.
After soaking for a good hour in the tub my skin is beyond soft and supple. I smell of spicy sweetness and my hubby approves!! After letting the plug out I am left with brown sticks of cinnamon and gold glitter everywhere!!!! It took me three cleans to get rid of glitter trace all through my tub! As much as I love glitter that was overkill and a so and so to clean off the side urgh.
In summary, it left my skin feeling amazing, was hard to clean out of the tub but I was extremely underwhelmed with it. I would much rather a bomb which made my nostrils happy, this one didn't really do that nor wow me. Moving along.
When i first hear about this bath bomb, it sounded amazing.I love cinnamon, glitter and the colour purple so it should have been a match made in heaven.
When this arrived, oh my! I could smell it before i even opened the bag and it smelt good! So good infact, that i just kept this in my room for awhile because it made my room smell delicious.
The bath bomb is a wierd shape actually. It has a circular base, and looks really thick and dense (which it is). Although the Lush ladies say all the bath bombs are the same weight.. this sure does not feel it. The bath bomb is a beautiful bright purple, with a gold shimmer coating.
When you put this in the bath, is fizzes up a storm, and turns the water a beautiful purple colour, aswell as making a slight milky foam over the water. But then the bath bomb hits the blue centre which makes the water a richer colour and The gold shimmer gives the water a bit of lustre, and makes it more exciting aswell. One thing that suprised me from this bath bomb was when a big chunk of bark appeared, and i thought that was really cool because i assume it is cinnamon bark or an imitation of it. Either way, i liked it.
Although the cinnamon smell was so strong when the bath bomb was in the bag, once it was in the water, the smell wasn't as strong as i would have wanted. The bath bomb is more spicey and musky than cinnamon-y!
Overall, this bath bomb is nice, but it is nothing special, and not one of my favorites because it just didn't wow me!
