Cute but...

I got the Butterbear bath bomb in the Christmas special tin set, “Man in the Moon.” The shape of the bath bomb is a cute bear and smelt amazing, just like all Lush bath bombs do.

I filled the bath tub, then popped it the Butterbear bath bomb in and let it fizz in the water. The water didn’t change colour and remained clear, with gold lumps floating around. It didn’t look that appealing. The beautiful scent slightly faded. I hopped in away because I didn’t want to waste it. It was still relaxing in the warm water, but the gold lumps still didn’t melt, so I just mixed it in the water with my hands.

I was pretty disappointed with the bath bomb as it didn’t moisturise my skin like many of the other bath bombs and the scent wasn’t long lasting after it was in water. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this to others.

Tips: Use it before bedtime

Butterbear

I heard so many great reviews of this product so I thought I'd trie it. I was disappointed in the smell. I mean it wasn't bad but I didn't love it. it did make my skin soft. after I was done using it and was all dry, my skin did feel soft. but sadly enough I would not use it again because I don't like the smell.

Cutest Christmas Bath Bomb!

As soon as the Christmas Lush products hit the store, I am there to buy up allllll the Butterbear Bath Bombs. Firstly, it is the cutest darn bath bomb you ever did see. Secondly, it smells amazing and is the most moisturising bath bomb I have ever used. My Christmas has not started until the product is in my bathroom! Calling all Christmas lovers - I have found the perfect bath bomb for you.

Tips: Use this combined with Candy Mountain bubble bar for a fun and moisturising bath!

Skin softening treat

Ahhhh, Christmas at Lush! There is no sweeter time of year! Despite being a Lushie from the start, I've only just got back into bath bombs so I hadn't tried this one before or Butterball which this is supposedly a limited edition version of.

This is a small, budget friendly bomb making it ideal for those of us with smaller baths. Butterbear is a very fast fizzer -he vanishes in minutes, leaving behind a cocoa butter aroma cloud and doesn't put on any kind of show. There is no colour to the water but discernible blobs of melted cocoa butter float on the surface. And that is what made me love Butterbear. Unlike other reviewers, I love the layer of cocoa butter it left on my skin. I'm a big fan of King of Skin body butter (it's one of the Lush products I must always have at home) and Butterbear feels like bathing in King of Skin. My skin seems to lap up all the cocoa butter goodness and isn't left greasy at all.

My skin remained well moisturised until my next shower. A faint cocoa butter aroma lingered on my skin for a couple of hours but it mostly smelt just fresh and clean. I would definitely use this again or Butterball. As much as I love a good bath bomb show, I love the skin benefits of this one.

Oh no, Macs! No Lush fan should live in a house without a bath!

Not as good as Butterball

I'm not sure if it was just my particular bear that was lacking, but my memories of the sister Lush Butterball bathbomb (which is supposed to be the same but not bear shaped) were so much better. I think it was because when I used Butterball there were pieces of cocoa butter which I could see as they melted against my skin. My bear had the same delicious flavour but so much less buttery-ness.

However you have to give a hand to the bear in all its cuteness. Who doesn't like an adorable bear that fizzes really?

Not quite Harry Potter...

...But it's just as good!

This delightful bear is a Christmas exclusive, sharing the exact same make up as Butterball bath bomb, but it's in a delightful bear shape! Just looking at it you can tell its going to be creamy and make your skin silky smooth.

The bear goes in the water and dissolves in a fizzy meltdown, releasing the chunks of cocoa butter that melt and surround your body with its delicious softness. It's like a bomb and a melt in one, so its really good value.

The vanilla scent is really nice and with the addition of cocoa butter it's slightly chocolatey but not overly so - not a smell that transfers well in the bath at least. I find both scents don't really transfer to the bath so I usually cut my bears in half and use it with another bomb that has the show and the smell.

It is a nice bomb, and one I will definitely repurchase!

Not for me

I'm going to start this review by saying that I'm really not a bath person. I much prefer having a shower and I just can't really see what is so great about having a bath. I'm also a lush addict though and since I'm not a bath person, this means that half of that shop is things that I just can't really use. I decided to change that and picked up a butterbear gift set in the lush boxing day sale (yes, it has taken me almost 8 months to actually try one out, what does that tell you!?)

These little bears are actually really cute looking. I got 6 of them in a really cool bear tin as well. They are a white/off white colour and have a really sweet vanilla choc scent. Although it's taken me so long to actually use one, I have taken them out numerous times to sniff. I so wish that lush sold a butterbear shower gel, I'd be all over that!

I had read that these didn't give off any bubbles so I decided to crumble up some pink fun to add some bubbles to my bath. Pink fun is a very strong scent so it did dull down the bear. I'm not sure what I was expecting when I dropped this in the bath but it was quite underwhelming. There were slight bubbles but no pretty colours or glitters. I did pick up the bear a couple of times and it looked kind of odd with little bits in it, I found while actually having my bath that these seemed to be bits of actual cocoa butter. I think these helped to slightly hydrate my skin but not enough to make me feel like I could skip the lotion afterwards.

Overall, this bear did not make me fall in love with baths. I feel like maybe this could be a good if you were going to add a bubble bar or something but on it's own, it's not really special. I personally won't use another one. I need something to blow my socks off and this very clearly, didn't do that!

I felt naked

I went a wee but cray cray at Christmas stocking up on these because they looked cute and figured if I didn't like them or use them the mini me's would.

The cute bear shaped bath bomb easily fits in the palm of my hand. He's a bit boring though in white with a few brown flecks.

I pop him in the bath and watch as he slightly fizzes around. The fizzing doesn't really last long and he doesn't put on much of a show and the water doesn't change colour. There are a few circles of oil, it looks like a bath I would take whilst pregnant with a few sprinkles of bio oil in it.

When I'm in the bath i feel like something is missing the water looks naked no colour, no lustre no bubbles.. It was weird. There was a sweet, sweet scent though maybe from the Shea butter.

Once I hop out and dry, my skin feels super soft and moisturised. That is about the only good thing I can find with this bath bomb. Needless to say the mini me's took over the last 4 of these.

Butter-BOMBED!

I got at least five of these because well let's face it they are uber cute bears. They scream to my need for cute girly things. They aren't really appealing colour wise being a cream, off white colour with a slight buttery yellow tinge to it.

Its not overly big and fits nicely in to the palm of my hand. Of course it being a limited xmas edition bath bomb I have to have it in my ever growing collection. I wish now that I wasn't so grabby with the number of butterbears I got.

The Butterbear has the same scent and feel as the butterball bomb which is really nice cocoa butter smelling. It's a sweet smell that I love. When dropped in to the bath it gives off a buttery yellow colour and the aroma of cocoa butter fills my nostrils. This is where the excitement ends. I was expecting something nice in the middle, some glitter or a different colour would have sufficed. It was a huge anti climax for me. Something so cute but so uninteresting.

I ended up giving the remaining four to my son who has also fallen in love with Lush (much to my dislike) which means I have to share booo! I will give the Butterbear props when it comes to making my skin feel soft and moisturised afterwards. I like the feel of my newly hydrated skin afterwards.

Tips: Mix it with other bombs to give it pop and excitement otherwise you are left with a buttery colour and nothing else

Butter Bear can Bugger Off

I love Lush. Self-Acclaimed Lushie over here. So when I saw my friend talking about this cute little bear that Lush had instore, my eyes widened and my ears pricked up and before I knew what was happened I was walking out of Lush with my new bath bomb.

This bath bomb is cute. Its white and the shape of the bear (so great for kids), and has a cute little brown nose. When I put this into my bath, it fizzes around a bit, and turns the water a bit white but that's about it. Nothing exciting on that front. It also leaves an oily look to the surface of the water which isn't all that appealing but I had to think of the benefits for my skin.

Well, my skin didn't like the feel of this bath bomb, it left a gross greasy feel to my skin which is dry so I would think my skin would love it. But in reality, it just made me feel greasy and gross

I have to say, this bath bomb is very similar to the butterball bath bomb (which I am not a fan of) but with a slight vanilla smell so if you do like it, you can get something similar year round.

This bath doesn't really add any excitement to my bath, but could be nice if paired with a more exciting bath bomb (although that would make for an expensive bath).
