Lush Blackberry Bath Bomb Review

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.

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.

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.

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

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

This was the best bath I have ever had.

I found these balls to be quite costly but if you only use half at a time, you get more use out of the bomb :)

The smell is amazing which is no surprise when buying lush products

the fizz to the bath makes it that much more exciting.

I found my skin to be so soft after using one of these bombs

I have recommended these balls to people as a perfect was to wind down after work and everyone I have told, have thanked me for telling them about this product.

A blue dusky grey coloured mandarin sized ball of total heaven, has bomb written on it. And the scent spicy olibanum and musk, bergamot and spice and blackberries the scent is divine. So I pop it in my bath and this bath bomb goes go crazy and it twists and turns and sort of blows up and leaves a trail of purple foam and a little bit of paper that says boom don't know what happened to it, it just went away possibly sucked up the pipes of the spa bath I must admit that was cute, the water goes a lilac colour (I have a massive bath) and the water and my bathroom both smell divine, and I sink into total luxury, and when I get out and I am all dry I also smell so nice. This caused no irritation and I felt nearly a little moisturised and the water was really nice and soft. So just a nice swirl of colour with a fragrance that has become a favourite of mine, this is one I reach for in desperation for a treat for my senses. I use the whole thing no saving it I just relish in the whole experience. As I love a treat once a week in the bath with all the luxuries this is up there on the must haves.

I bought this bomb recently and I had one of the most relaxing baths for a long time. It left my skin smelling divine and feeling moisturized and soft. SO I returned to Lush to buy another to replay the moment. Such a nice bomb. Well done Lush.

I am a huge Lush fan, and this was my first bath bomb, and it did not disappoint! Left my skin feeling soft and delicious smelling, and made my whole house smell good too! Would highly recommend!

I am not the biggest fan of baths, they're lovely while it lasts but I find it super difficult to get myself out of the warm water and let the cold air attack my body haha. Recently I've been wanting to take a nice hot bath and my lovely friend, who's a bit of a Lush junkie, talked me into picking up a bath bomb. I've never been the biggest fan of bubble baths or anything fancy like that, just run the water and hop on in - that's how I've always been. But people continue to rave about these bath bombs so I decided well, why not?

It seems that Lush enjoy putting glitter into almost everything which I am not into, so Blackberry was my bomb of choice as it was nice and simple, no glitter or any chunky bits stuck in it. Everyone had told me to only use half but my attempt in halving the rock hard ball failed, so I just chucked the whole thing in! (I have a pretty standard size tub and like to have deep baths). First off, the colour is gorgeous, one of my favourite colours is purple so I loved the different shades swirling about in my tub. The smell is heavenly, I really enjoy deep, rich fragrances, so the mix of blackberry, frankincense and bergamot was right up my alley - but it could definitely be too strong for some. The warm water really intensifies the fragrance, so laying in the tub you're enveloped by the amazing warmth of the scent. This made the bath water extremely soft and that's exactly what I was hoping for. My skin was in dire need of deep hydration and a good exfoliation so having soaked in the tub with the bath bomb really allowed for my skin to soften. The overall experience is very relaxing, the feeling it gives in the water, the fragrance and the colour - it's more than I had expected.

Afterwards my skin was left feeling silky, smooth and baby soft - it hasn't felt like this in a long time. It really absorbed the lotion I applied after and still feels amazing today - with no dry patches! Fortunately for me my bath wasn't left with any staining or a purple ring - hallelujah! Saves me from scrubbing away after such a relaxing soak. I definitely want to try more or Lush's Bath Bombs (all of them that don't include glitter) but unfortunately we are renovating our bathroom this Summer and the plans are to leave the bath tub behind... So we shall see how many soaks I can fit in before the room is ripped apart.

All in all I am pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this product. It always seemed a little gimmicky to me, like it was just a hyped up, fancy product to colour the water, but I was wrong! I do really recommend you try one if you haven't already, it's definitely worth it!
