Big Blue - LUSH

Hi everyone!

I thought I'd do a quick post on the Big Blue bath bomb from Lush. Although I suppose my definition of quick post and yours may be completely different, especially when the images have been uploaded too...

It's actually a really nice bath bomb, although for me it had an irritating floor that may or may not put me off purchasing it again. I suppose it all depends on how 'bothered' I feel when it comes to bath time again.

It was a GORGEOUS shade of blue, which is my all time favourite colour. What I really loved about it was the colour it turned my bath water... It turned it into the kind of blue you seen on the TV when they advertise holidays and its like white sand and amazing blue/green sea. The smell is quite summery, or at least I thought so!

It smelt fresh and clean with a hint of citrus. It's quite a light and refreshing sort of citrus smell, not too heavy or chemically either. It's both calming and energising so I suppose it's the ideal bath bomb as you could use it in the morning or evening, or mid afternoon if that's you thing! It also left my skin feeling really nice and soft, no dry bits, no weird blue coloured skin and best of all NO GLITTER! (Unlike the last bath bomb I used...) It is definitely one of my favorite Lush items because my skin wasn't just soft, it seemed to hydrate it a little, I swear my dry skin patches were a lot better for days after using this.

However, and this is the only downfall for me, it was LOADED with seaweed. Absolutely loaded. I cannot even begin to imagine how they crammed that much seaweed into such a small ball. My mind was blown. I will admit, it freaked me out a little bit. I wasn't expecting so much, although I knew it would contain a bit. I kept 'forgetting' and then I would move in the bath and these black things would float near me and I would panic. I don't know what my brain was thinking but it was the same kind of feeling you'd get if you opened your eyes to see a spider sat in the bath with you.

Also, the seaweed clogged the plug hole. It was so gross. I was torn between bending over the bath and fishing them out, or just seeing how many I could poke down the plug. In the end I did both, if I'd have poked it all down the plug I think it would have blocked the drains... trying to cram that down a plug hole was pointless, but pulling it out the plug hole was about as disgusting as it can get.

But apart from the extra effort and the slight over use of seaweed, this was another one of my Lush loves. <3
