LUSH French Kiss Bubble Bar - Review

French Kiss

A Decadent Herbal Bubble Bar for Deep Relaxation

$8.95

There are a few ways one can French kiss. At LUSH we like to keep it clean by French Kiss-ing in a luxurious bubble bath. (If you like it Dirty we suggest you have a shower.) The fresh herbal fragrances of lavender, rosemary and thyme with essential oils from the hills of sun-soaked Provence go into our swirly love letter inspired by the warmth and beauty of the French countryside. It's even topped with a sprig of lavender. Lay back and relax into serene purple waters and soak up all of its relaxing benefits.

FEATURES

  • One way ticket: Escape to the rolling hills of Provence in mounds of fluffy bubbles.
  • Sleep tight: A relaxing soak to get you round the bases and drift off into sweet dreams.
  • Herbal tonic: Lavender is often used to relax and calm the mind, and aids in restful sleep.

    Main Ingredients

    Rosemary Oil
    Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
    Thyme Oil
    Lavender Oil
    Lavender Absolute

    How to Use

    Crumble under running warm water as you fill the tub. The stronger your water pressure, the more bubbles you will make; we encourage experimentation for best results. To get the most out of your bubble bars, keep them in a cool, dry place.

    Best for...

    Moisturizing skin
    Leaving skin scented
    Relaxing
    Relaxing muscles
    Curing insomnia

Overall...

This was an excellent bubble bar for me to use. I fully enjoyed the bath I had while using this bubble bar.

French Kiss made an excellent amount of bubbles that were long lasting, and only a small amount was needed to achieve this. The scent was excellent, and not overpowering in the slightest. It left my skin beautifully scented and moisturized too. I also found that this was a soothing bubble bar, and would probably work amazingly with the Twilight Bath Bomb from LUSH.

The sole drawbacks of this bubble bar were the shape, and the lack of colour change to the water. French Kiss has a unique cone shape, which made it difficult to cut, or break, into even chunks. This cone shape also causes a lot of crumbs, making cutting this bubble bar very messy. The lack of colour was only a personal problem for me. I enjoy having my bath water dyed different colours, so it was technically a drawback to the bubble bar.

Overall, this was a great bubble bar, and a definite repurchase for myself. I would recommend this to anyone I know.

Christmas Eve Review

Christmas Eve

Sleepy Bubbles for Excitable People

$7.25

You’ve made the list and checked it twice. Bake cookies, check. Purchase presents, check. But what about taking some time for yourself? When you’re in need of some calm moments during holiday chaos, look no further than your bathtub. We combined relaxing jasmine and ylang ylang oils to create a peaceful soak. It’s the perfect bubbler to help you (or your little ones) get some shut eye the night before Saint Nick comes knocking.

FEATURES

  • Bathtub built for two: We add aphrodisiac jasmine absolute for those of you who are bathing with someone special.
  • Under the sea: For softer skin, we add Irish moss powder. When mixed with water, it makes a hydrating seaweed gel.
  • Mellow out: Relaxing ylang ylang oil helps to calm you or the little ones down before the big day.


How to Use

Crumble under running warm water as you fill the tub. The amount you need to use will vary, but this bar usually yields one or two baths. The stronger your water pressure, the more bubbles you will make; we encourage experimentation for best results. To get the most out of your bubble bars, keep them in a cool, dry place.


Best for...

A relaxing bath
Creating lots of bubbles
Leaving your skin with a nice scent
Moisturizing

Overall...

I really enjoyed this bubble bar. It has a nice musky, sweet, calming scent that will relax you right before bed. It made a good amount of bubbles, and dyed the water slightly blue. 

I also liked how I only need half of the bubble bar to create a good amount of bubbles. I even used this in a mini bath cocktail with Twilight bath bomb, and I found it very soothing and a great cure for insomnia.

I was left with great smelling skin, and it even moisturized my skin amazingly well.

The only downside, it's a Holiday exclusive item.

Overall, I would recommend this to anyone.

Sunny Side Review

Sunny Side

A Ray of Shimmering Sunshine with Tangerine Oil

$7.25 for 100g


If you've had a day full of disappointment, pop one of these sparkly bubble bars into your bath. As you crumble it under the running water, you'll start to feel immediately better. You just can't help but smile when you see the shimmery golden waters it creates. Maybe it's because citrus fruits only grow in warm, sunny places that their scents make us feel like smiling again. Sunny Side's orange, tangerine and lemon help reverse the troubles of the day, however badly it started. It'll turn your life Sunny Side up.

FEATURES

  • Your dose of Vitamin D: Our sparkly golden bar with uplifting citrus to bring you sunshine.
  • Here comes the sun: Feel the sun break through the clouds when you use this golden, luxurious bath.
  • Good enough to eat, almost: We use edible lustre used in baking to create a deep, swirling shimmer in the water.

Main Ingredients

Tangerine Oil
Cream of Tartar
Sweet Orange Oil
Lemon Oil

How to Use


Crumble under running warm water as you fill the tub. The stronger your water pressure, the more bubbles you will make; we encourage experimentation for best results. To get the most out of your bubble bars, keep them in a cool, dry place.

Best for...

Moisturizing skin
Creating lots of bubbles
Smoothing water

Overall...This was the first bubble bar I used from LUSH and it was amazing!

I loved how this bubble bar made me feel, how it made the water look, the amount of bubbles it created, how my skin felt after - it was amazing.

The only drawbacks of this bubble bar were that the sparkles all over it would get everywhere and they wound up staying in my tub after my bath.

Overall, this was an awesome bubble bar and I would recommend it to everyone.
