Golden Slumbers Bath Bomb

This is not an Easter product, but one of the three non-Easter items I got in my Easter haul, so it will be reviewed now!  I decided to use this bomb after a long day in the car (11 hours of driving to and from California in a day!) to induce some heavy sleep.  The name said it all!  The scent reminds me of Fizzbanger....not sure why as the ingredients aren't related.  This bomb is lavender oil based where Fizzbanger was cinnamon oil.  However, they smelled similar out of the tub.  When I dropped it in is where it departed from Fizzbanger and became a lavender explosion.  The minute it started to fizz away it smelled strongly of the sleep-inducing lavender.  Also, tons of lavender springs came out of the bomb which gave it a nice showy effect.  I took issue with the fact that they looked like bugs and found myself picking them out for more peace of mind. 

The golden shimmer on the bomb was nowhere to be found in the water which was a disappointment, but in hindsight is only necessary to make the bomb live up to its cute name.  My skin wasn't particularly soft and my body wasn't super relaxed but I was out like a light in 2 minutes flat upon arrival at my bed.  I'm not sure this is a favorite, but it serves its purpose and for that, I am grateful.

Big Blue Bath Bomb

I needed to get away tonight and the Big Blue bath bomb did the job.  The moment the bath bomb touched the water it was by far the most fizzy of all bath bombs that I have tried.  It fizzed out quickly and with that put tiny shreds of seaweed into the pretty blue-green water.  The scent both inside and outside of the bath was the same.  It's a sort of sweet-and salty mix of sea salt and lavender.  The smell is both comforting and alluring and stayed on my skin long after I got out of the bath.  My skin felt cleansed afterward.  I did experience the great salt rubbing that comes with a trip to the real beach.  Meaning, my thighs (yes, they touch) were a little irritated afterward.

Most of all, I loved how this bath bomb made me feel.  It really was like having my own personal ocean right at home.  I would recommend, if you have a shower curtain around your bath, to draw that closed and shut out the world.  This bomb also goes nicely with a side of the song "Porcelain" by Moby. 

Now to the biggest con I've had thus far with any Lush product: the debris!  I've read that you should put some of the bombs with "special effects" into a nylon before using them, but whats the fun in that?  I want to see it fizz and get the full effect.  This leaves me to clean out the mess in the tub afterward.  I know that I said in my first Haul that I wouldn't mind cleaning the tub.  Well, I LIED :-)  I will, however, keep using the bombs without nylon protection because the effect is worth the clean-up.
