Lush Blackberry Bath Bomb This is a good one to use on days when you are feeling out of sorts, rushed or just can’t think straight. It brings calm and clarity to a busy hectic life. Step out of the bath and leave your cares behind. Makes the perfect bath partner with Sultana of Soap as they share the same fragrance. Blackberry Bath Bomb is one of the first bath bombs Mo invented back in them there olden days – but its pure simplicity has made it a long term favourite. The fragrance was invented originally when Mark and Ro went to Paris and wanted a fragrance that was evocative of the blackberry and musqué they smelt everywhere.

Berrytastic!

I only have a bath every now and then because we don't have one in my apartment but this is 100% one of my fave bath bombs from Lush. It was the very first one I gravitated before because I love purple and the smell was amazing. Its not an overwhelming berry scent, its very subtle, but it is also very comforting. You always smell good when hoping out of a Blackberry bath and thankfully, you're skin is not stained purple!

Tips: My favourite lush bombs to pair it with are Butterball, for soft, luscious skin, and The Comforter bubble bar for a delicious blackberry scent for ultimate relaxation and comfort!

Gorgeous bath experience.

I'm a lush bath bomb regular, I'll often buy a whole heap at once and leave them in a bowl in my room (they make my whole house smell lovely). This was my first time using the blackberry bomb and I'd had a big week of physical activity so I went the whole nine yards- wine, candle and a good documentary on the ipad. The initial smell of the bomb in the packet is subtle and musky- not too sweat which I loved. I put the bomb in the water and was pleasantly surprised- the water was turning into a mix of mulberry purple and a bluish purple. Upon inspection I saw within the bomb there were little pockets of the two different colours that made vibrant streaks in the water- gorgeous! The water finally settled into a lovely deep purple colour and I noticed a little note reading 'BOOM' had appeared from within the center of the bathbomb- it made me giggle. The scent of the water was musky with floral notes- not artificial smelling and clean. It filled the bathroom but was not overpowering. I would say it was a calming scent- but the actually bomb while it was fizzing in the water was really fun and would cheer me up on a bad day (it would be hard to stay grumpy in a pretty cloud of swirly purples). I soaked for around 45 minutes and came out smelling amazing and clean. My skin was not itchy either (some highly perfumed soaps etc can make me itchy) and didnt feel dry. I will most definitely be using this bath bomb again.

Tips: Add some extra Epsom salts the water.

Lovely Lush Luxury Blackberry Bath Bomb

Wow, this bath bomb was sure impressive. Super fizzy purple foam, which lasted for quite a long time. The blackberry smell was gorgeous, a sweet and spicy fragrance. My skin felt lovely and soft after a relaxing soak. Would definately use this again or buy as a gift for someone. Well priced value for money, love this product is handmade in NZ.

Amazing soak but must clean after :-(

Wow. I could smell the bath bomb through the courier bag! If I didn't know what was in the bag I would have thought I had received Lush' Sultana of Soap. It smells like a beautiful blend of musky flowers that just lingers in the room well after everyone has left.

The product is the size of a tennis ball - borrowed my dog's ball to confirm :-) ; similar texture to a piece of chalk but less powdery and a tad grainy. I tried to split the ball in two so I could place one at each end of the tub but it was too hard and a tad messy so I just placed it in the middle of the tub and watch it drop just below the water surface and dissolve rapidly.

The water changed from clear to lilac to a dark lavender colour with swirls of pink at the bottom of the tub. I pushed the bath bomb around the tub for an even distribution of colour and to hurry it up because I just wanted to jump in! I found a tiny piece of paper that said BOOM! which is cool if you're into that kind of novelty but it could have easily gone down the drain and I never would have noticed.

Even with the door closed the fragrance travelled throughout the hallway to the front room. It felt so relaxing soaking in the tub and breathing in that fragrance; I could have stayed for hours if not for scary wrinkly skin and cold water! I'm wondering if there are any moisturising properties because I noticed spots of what looked like oil throughout the water. I definitely felt my legs were moisturised and I hadn't even applied soap yet. On me the fragrance lasted 2 hours and in the house over 4 hours before starting to fade.

Unfortunately I don't think I would use this again mainly because of the purple water stains it leaves on the tub. After a relaxing soak the last thing you want to do is wipe down the bath tub; it took me 2 rounds to ensure I wiped it all. It also stains your toe nails, it'll come off easily while in the tub but I had to remove my varnish because the stain had already set (my own fault for not wiping it off in tub).

Tips: If you notice purple stains on your toe nails or on your nail polish wipe it away immediately while in tub. Do not allow it to set.

Agree with the slight moisturising properties- and the purple tide mark in the bath!

Luxury BathBomb

I Loooove lush, and this bathbomb is no exception. The first thing that hits you is the smell. It has a gorgeous floral/bitter berry smell with undertones of musk. Unlike other bath bombs I;ve tried the smell lingers for most of the bath rather than wearing off which is great! The colour is gorgeous, turning the water a deep blue/purple which swirl together throughout the bath.

I didnt find this bathbomb created many bubbles, which suits me fine since I'm not a bubble girl, but might disappoint others. Its also not as creamy as some of the others, so doesnt leave my skin feeling oily

My only gripe with this product is its quite large, and if you have a small-average sized bath there is a build up of colour that sticks to feet and baths! Some of Lush's other products are easy to break in half but that not possible with this particular one.

Tips: Try crack in half (if you can) if you have a smaller bath. Otherwise sit back and relax.

Dreamy heady scent

I 'found' Lush in Canada many years ago and was pleased when they opened here in NZ. I have a few favourite products that I turn to when I want the house smelling divine. With this Blackberry Bath Bomb I left it in front of me on my computer desk for a few days so I could take in the aroma and think about whether it was a smell I liked or maybe not be so keen on. On a Saturday night when I had the evening to myself I decided to run a large hot bath and pop my bath bomb in to enjoy a long soak. The smell was divine and it made my skin feel silky smooth, for hours after my skin still had the gorgeous scent permeating from it. It looks like it has become another favourite.

Tips: wait for an evening alone so you can take the time to enjoy a long soak!

Heaven Scent ;)

There were two things I noticed as soon as I took the bomb out of the packaging: the amazing scent and the animal test friendly note on the packaging. Both of these are important selling points for me. The bath bomb made the whole bathroom smell heavenly before it even went into the bath. And the smell for me was very relaxing. It dissolved very quickly and left no grainy remains in the bath. The water became soft and almost creamy. I felt the moisture difference in my skin when drying with the towel, almost as if I had rubbed baby oil over my body, it was silky soft.

Tips: It does leave a coloured residue ring around the bath so the bath will need a quick going over when you get out.

Positively Lush-ious

Initial impressions - Lovely soft blue coloured bath bomb with a sweet fruity yet floral scent and just a hint of tang. Not really what I would think of as blackberry, though.

When you drop it in it really lives up to the name bath 'bomb' - it explodes quickly into a very enthusiastic fizz of colour, and out pops a cute little note reading 'Boom!'. It's been really beautifully done, with a mix of rich violets, soft periwinkles and bright magentas shooting out in bright darts of colour and then mixing together to leave the bath water a lovely lilac colour. A+ for putting on a good show, there was definitely an out loud "wow" moment when it first exploded into action and the colour show was lovely.

At this point it definitely smells like very sweet ripe blackberries with some musky undertones and the scent really fills the room - heaven. In the water, your skin feels very silky and smooth, and once dry it maintains a very soft feel. I do love bath products that not only make the bath itself a nice experience but also leave your skin feeling wonderful, so this is definitely a big win in my book.

The big thing for me with bath products is whether they leave a nasty, hard to remove ring when you're done, so the end of the bath was the moment of truth for me. It definitely left a fairly bright ring around the tub but it wiped away easily with a damp flannel (which I always do anyway) so I am one happy camper! Would definitely rebuy and look forward to exploring their range.

Lush indeed

Blackberry bath bomb - in other words pure unadulterated sensual heaven.

Fantastic after a long stressful day, lovely fragrance, skin feels smooth and luxurious.

Tips: If you don't have a bath don't worry. I broke mine up and got many foot spas over the week for myself and my flatmate - now she's a convert too!

Purple Bliss

Lush Blackberry Bath Bomb is a fizzy purple bliss after a long stressful day. It has a lovely fragrance that isn't too strong but strong enough that it remains on your skin and in the bathroom for the evening. The purple colour is beautiful and doesn't stain your skin or the bath. A soak with the luscious Blackberry Bath Bomb is the perfect way to end the day. I think it is worth the RRP and I would purchase this for myself and/or friends and family.

Tips: You could probably remove the bath bomb from the water before it completely fizzed away and save some for another day.
