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.

  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.

So White Review

So White

Apple Fizzer for Happy Endings

$6.35

Our favorite fizzer returns with a fresh makeover! This year we were inspired by Holi, a traditional Indian festival in which people throw colored powders at one another to celebrate the end of winter. With this in mind, we redesigned So White to be thrown into your tub just like a snowball. Once in water, So White dissolves to reveal a bright pink center and an enticing appley fragrance. Our inventors brewed up a soft, fruity and floral scent with an enchanting blend of bergamot oil, neroli oil and orange flower absolute, for bathing happily ever after.

FEATURES

• Make me over: This year, So White is back and bigger than ever. We made our best seller (and best smeller) even bigger for more bath time fun.
• Snowball fight: Unleash your inner child by throwing our explosive fizzer into your tub. The outer layer cracks away to reveal a fizzy pink center.
• Break it up: Our soothing fragrance of neroli, bergamot, and rose oils helps you relax after a long day battling crowds at the mall.

Main Ingredients

Citric Acid

Bergamot Oil

Rose Absolute

Orange Flower Absolute

Neroli Oil

How to Use

Throw So White into your bath tub, just like a snowball, watch the bath bomb crack open and fizz away.

Best for...

A strong scent
Relaxing muscles
Leaving your skin scented

Overall...

To be honest, I was very disappointed in this bath bomb. I had such high expectations for the fizzing action, and expected the water to be dyed bright pink. However, none of that happened.

You are suposed to throw So White into your tub so it cracks open on the side of your tub. I found that to be very hard to do with my soaker tub while completely full. I think it would be difficult in an average tub as well.

So White was also expected to be a bath bomb that brightly colour your bath, and it did not. It fizzed away quickly, leaving foam, which also quickly disappeared. The inside colouring was in a very small quantity and just like the rest of the bath bomb, disappeared quickly.

I was also disappointed in how So White left my skin. Most LUSH bath bombs are very moisturizing, and this just wasn't. My skin felt just the same.

Although the smell was strong and calming, it was overshadowed by So White's high expectations.

Overall, I was highly disappointed in this overly hyped bath bomb and would not recommend it.

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.

Popcorn Review

Popcorn

Lip-Smacking New Flavour

$8.95

Mmm! A simply scrumptious sugar and salt lip scrub for the holidays. We haven't been able to keep our hands off this one. Lips can get particularly dry and flakey in winter weather, so it's especially important to exfoliate. Use this one and keep your lips sweet, smooth and tasty all season long. The sweet and slightly salty popcorn flavor will make you want to lick this scrub right off your lips; but that's okay, we do it too!

FEATURES

• Here for the holidays: Trust us, you'll want to stock up on these!
• Fabulous popcorn flavor: If you can't get enough of the scent, try our Let the Good Times Roll facial cleanser.
• Perfect stocking-stuffer: Put it on your wish list, or pop it in your stocking yourself! No one has to know it was you.

How to Use

Scrub your lips with our sugary Lip Scrubs to make them smooth and tempting. Take a pea-sized amount and scrub your lips soft, then lick off the excess!

Best for...

Softening lips

Daily use

Removing dry skin


Overall...

I was really skeptical about this lip scrub and didn't think it would do much for my lips, however I liked the effect it had on my lips.

Now, normally my lips don't get a lot of dead skin and aren't normally chapped, but they are dry.

When I first used this, it did smooth my lips, but I didn't get a lot of moisture from the product. So, now what I do is I put on a coat of lip balm, then use the scrub.

Besides the lack of moisturizing qualities, I had no problems with this product!

I love the taste, how easy it is to use, how well it removes the excess skin, and the amount you get for your money!

This lip scrub comes in a small container and it seems like there wouldn't be a lot of product for $8.95, but it is filled to the brim, and not a lot is needed to get a great result.

Overall, I would recommend this to anyone I know. Remember to pick it up when it's rereleased next holiday season.

Giveaway Ideas?

Hey guys!

I'm sorry I haven't been posting in a while. I know I've been doing a lot of videos lately, but not a lot of text posts. Videos are just faster for me to finish, and a bit more fun, which is a plus since I'm in the middle of exam week.

Anyways, I'm starting to plan out a giveaway I want to do for you guys soon! I'm having some problems trying to figure out what to put in the giveaway though. I was thinking of putting in mainly bath things since they will apply to a boarder audience compared to skin and hair products.

I also want to make sure I put in things you guys want/like. Make sure you comment below and give me your thoughts on what you'd like to see in this giveaway :)

See you soon Lushies!
