Lush Blackberry Bath Bomb Review

This does smell delicious and im totally impresssed that these are fully vegan products - animal friendly and great for the environment. However, very expensive for what they are! They smell Devine, look pretty in the bath for about a minute and then that’s it. No benefits to my skin or body whatsoever. I won’t be buying again

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.

There are still a few bombs left from Lush that I am yet to try, and until today this was one of them. I was quite excited as it smelled divine, and the coloring of it was gorgeous. I could see a sneaky piece of paper sticking out and I wondered what it said.

I plopped it in the bath today and waited to see what colors would amaze me and see what was hidden within. I waited, and waited. Nothing! The bomb fizzed quite quickly, and the beautiful purple color filled the bath, but there was no wow, no surprise color inside, no lustre to tickle my fancy. To be honest, I was disappointed.

The smell that came off the bomb was nothing like a blackberry. I got hints of sweet, strong frankincense and a bit of bergamot, but very little of the beautiful fruity blackberry, and as I bought it for the blackberry smell, I'm slightly disappointed.

As always, Lush never cease to amaze me with how soft my skin is after I use their delightful bombs. This bomb would be repurchased, simply for the fact that it is uplifting. I have been severely under the weather the last few days and this has perked me up and cheered me up ever so slightly. So while it was disappointing, it was also the only thing I needed to feel like myself again.

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).

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.

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.

This was a bath I didn’t really choose, but got as part of a lush gift box, which was either the Lush legends gift box, or the art of bathing. Either way I was excited to try it because I believe it was one of Lush’s original bath bombs, and that in itself makes it a good enough reason to try it, as well as it smelling amazing, and having heard good things from friends and other Lush Lovers../addicts.

So this bath bomb is a bluey/purple in colour, and not a soft lilac purple like the twilight bath bomb. It has the word bomb slightly engraved over the bath bomb, and is about the size of a tennis ball. From first appearances, that’s all I can tell. I can also smell the delicious Lush smell, and I have to say I do like the smell of this bath bomb, but I sniff and sniff but just can’t put my finger on what it smells like. However, one note I do smell is the frankincense in this, which is why I normally use this bath bomb with the bubble bar Blue Skies and fluffy white clouds because they share that frankincense note.

When this bomb is placed in the water, it really explodes like a bomb. Leaving a trail of foam and magenta, and soft purple streaks of colour. Plus it fills the room with a gentle, yet beautiful smell. A really cute aspect about this bomb is that once it explodes, you can see a little piece of paper floating around in the bath, which says boom. This bath bomb leaves the bath water a beautiful deep amethyst purple in colour, which looks amazing!

This bath bomb doesn’t dry my skin out, but doesn’t leave it with a gross oily residue either so I’m pretty happy about this aspect. I have read that some people find this bath bomb leaves a mark around the bath, but my favourite thing about this bath bomb is it leaves no stains or water marks in my bath so I’m not sure why, but I’m not complaining. This is not one of my favourite bath bombs from Lush, but I always have one of these in my cupboards because it’s just a nice simple bath to end a long week at work, without having to think about which bath bomb to use, which is normally a hard decision when you have a lush collection like I do.

I will forever love lush and their bath bombs. Of all the ones i've tried, this is definitely one of my favourites. It's such a pretty colour and makes having a bath so much better. It also has such a great scent. This one is also pretty big so I feel like it can be used for two baths. I also like to use lush bath bombs in my room to make it smell nice because they smell super strong.

First of all, this bath bomb smells amazing! It is my favourite bomb so far, mostly because of the smell! The first time I got it I cut it in half, it was fantastic! Smelt amazing, everything dissolved, and left my bath in a beautiful purple colour! Second one I brought I used the whole thing and although it was great, I didn't feel like I needed to use the whole thing, half is enough for me.

The only let down is the purple residue left on the the side of the bath, but that's a quick wash and definitely worth it.

This bath bomb has bomb on it and when I put it in the bath it fizzes away turning the water a lovely purple colour.

Then in the middle of the bomb popped a small square of paper that said boom. I'm not to sure about this maybe something that could go down the plug hole would have been better.

It smell lovely and my whole house smells of blackberries. My skin feels silky smooth.
