Blackberry Bath Bomb by LUSH

Blackberry Bath Bomb by LUSH
Description
Blackberry blasts away winter blues with bergamot and frankincense - keeping spirits berry. Once upon a bathing time, Blackberry was the original bath bomb. Now that bath bombs are de rigueur and we're flattered by imitations, set one of these off and see why LUSH bombs remain the best in the bath.

Review #1 LOVE LUSH!!!!!!!!!!
This bomb has a wonderful fruity smell (which I assume to be blackberry) and it turns the water an amazing deep purple color that is so much fun to sit in! It is mosturizing, but not as much as some other bombs (one star off). If you like a lightly mosturizing bath bomb - this is the one for you. I keep purchasing this over and over just because I LOVE the smell and color!

Review #2 Wonderful!
I just took the most purpley bath I've ever had... the bath bomb was perfectly scented and turned the water grape-purple. This was one of the best bath anythings I've ever used.

Review #3 LUSH Blackberry Bath Bomb - Berry, Berry Wonderful!
Pros
Yummy fruity scent, fun to watch it fizz, contains Bergamot Oil which helps depression, pretty lavender colored bath water!

Cons
Expensive shipping costs if purchased on LUSH website

The Bottom Line
I recommend this Blackberry Bath Bomb from LUSH for the beautiful color it turns your bath water, the fun fizzing action, and the healing properties of Bergamot Oil.

LUSH's Blackberry bath bomb is a fizzy and fantastic way to pamper yourself in the tub. It is one of my favorite LUSH products, and I am one who doesn't blink twice at spending over $5.40 for an amazing night in the bath. It is a small price to pay for a mini-spa experience and an emotional pick-me-up. The main essential oils in this bomb are Bergamot and Frankincense. How decadent! Bergamot is a known aromatherapy agent for depression. So you can justify your purchase as I do . . . it's good for you!

What is a bath bomb? It is a ball that is roughly the size of an orange (6.3 ounces for this particular one) and it fizzes, releasing a color and fragrance. It's fun to watch them fizz - I usually wait until I'm in the bath to drop the bomb and see it travel around the bathtub with a small trail of tiny bubbles behind it.

The reason I recommend this Blackberry bath bomb is that I love the fragrance (sweet and fruity) and the color it turns my bath water; a light purple. There are other bath bombs I do not like, and do not recommend. My criteria are simple - I like the way it smells, and I like to have nothing left in the tub to clean up afterward. Why do I say this? Because some of LUSH's Bath Bombs contain things like dried lavender buds, glitter stars, floating flowers, etc. You are left with a tub full of particles to somehow clean up without having them slip down the drain. Of course a solution to this would be to enclose the bath bomb in some sort of nylon or sock, but I'm too lazy to do that, and think it takes away some of the fun.

Blackberry Bath Bomb Ingredients: (from www.Lush.com)

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Bergamot Oil (Citrus bergamia), Perfume, Frankincense Oil (Boswelia carterii), FD&C Blue No. 1, D&C Red No. 33.

Where to purchase?

There are LUSH stores in many cities all over the world, but not as many as one would like. So many people end up purchasing from the online store, www.lush.com. The problem is that shipping often costs more than the price of the product - a whopping $8.00 because ordering online means things ship from Canada. I suggest waiting until you have enough money to purchase multiple products to make it worth your while. And always look for coupon codes - sign up for the monthly LUSH newsletter, too.

Although it isn't largely advertised on the website, you do get a free sample or two with your order - mainly a small wedge of soap to try. Their soaps are delightful, but seem to melt down pretty quickly, with one sample lasting probably only one bath.

Where NOT to purchase?

I have tried in the past to bypass high shipping costs and find a LUSH product on eBay.com. This is a mistake. You cannot guarantee a fresh product, and there is nothing worse than someone selling a bath bomb a year old that sinks like lead in your tub . . . the fizz is just gone out of it!

Try it, you'll like it!

Thanks for reading my review on the Blackberry Bath Bomb from LUSH . . . I hope it helps to encourage you to treat yourself to a little luxury now and then.

Review #4 Meh
I don't see what makes this bomb so popular. Personally I wasn't a big fan, but I didn't *dislike* it. It certainly turned the water a pretty purple, but the scent faded pretty quickly. It didn't dry my skin out, but I didn't find it especially moisturizing either.
