Lush bath bombs

My 23 yr old DD seems to love them. I just wish she would clean the tub out afterwards!! Also, some are so strongly scented that I make her seal them in ziplock bags otherwise the scent takes over the bathroom if not the whole upper floor!

Get the scented epsom salts at Target. Smell just the same and feel great. And they are like 4 bucks for a huge bag.

Some make me itch. I don't use the whole bomb, who can afford to do that? I usually break off a chunk. I think they are really overpriced and overrated. But if I get them for a gift I use them.

DD is Lush's number one customer, and loves the bath bombs, but gets very annoyed that I won't let her use them in our bath, as the 'bits' block the whirlpool jets. Most Lush products are a bit too strongly scented for me, but the bathroom always smells glorious after DD has been abluting!

I love Rose Jam Bubbleroon so much I can hardly stand myself. Just rosy and decadent and lovely. But $8.95 is a little spendy, without a doubt.

I can break it in half pretty easily (it's like an Oreo) and it's fine. But every now and then (like 2x a year) I toss a whole one in and lie around for an hour or more with a glass of wine or six. It's not cheap, but compared to a lot of other indulgences in life, not awful either.

It doesn't leave too much behind.

I think at Christmas, I bought 2 of the Rose Jam shower gel () and three of the Bubbleroon. That will last a while and is just a treat for myself.

Epsom salts at Target though.. huh, who knew? I might have to try that.

Rose Jam is the BEST, and it broke my heart when they said it's a seasonal scent. Maybe we can bombard them with emails to get it back??  

I am a gigantic Lushie! I simply adore their products! I love their bath bombs, shower jellies, smoothies, facial cleansers, scrubs, moisturizers, etc. I could go on and on!

I love the idea of them but, in practice, most of them create a colossal mess.

Be careful if there is a nut allergy in your family.  It is a lot of work to scrub the tub very clean so that there is no residue for the next person. 

I got some for Christmas but I never take a bath so they went in the water for my pedicure, they smelt nice enough but the mess was unbelievable. One was a Christmas pudding and it left the water a disgusting brown with bits floating in it, not attractive by anyones standards!!
The only Lush product I really enjoy is the rock star soap.

ETA I do shower everyday before anyone thinks I'm a dirty Gertie!

I have never used them. Do they have oil in them to make it harder to clean or is it just salt and some little floaties? Just curious. I hear people love them but would hate to have to scrub the tub to remove the oil and don't have a sprayer on my tub so it really is a pain to clean.

I've never used the bath bombs because I never take baths. I've always been tempted by them, but have been worried they'd stain my tub. 

Iuse a lot of Lush products, and have found a few that leave a residue in the shower and require some cleanup. The Buffy bar left a big mess and the tub was really slippery afterward. I love the scent of Rose Argan Body Conditioner but don't like the greasy feeling on the shower floor when I've finished showering. 

I'll join in the love for Rose Jam. I just finished my bottle of it last week. Love that stuff.

I was terribly upset when they stopped making the 'old' charity pot. For awhile they kept making it but sold it as "Formulae Known As" but they stopped making it altogether. Now my favorite body lotion is Sympathy for the Skin. I had never tried it because I was concerned that it would smell too banana-y, but it's really quite lovely. Lately I've been washing with Bohemian lemon soap and using this lotion. It's a great combo. I also absolutely love the Sultana of Soap and would highly recommend it. 

Some of them do not leave any residue other than what you'd leave from a normal bath.  And none of them that I've tried have been oily.  But there are two that I mentioned in my previous post that left a big mess.  A pink one left a big mess of flower petals.  And when I was finished with my bath with the turquoise one, it was as if I'd taken a pot where I'd made loose tea and mixed it in.  It had all these tea-like leaves that did not dissolve that I had to rinse out and then dig them out from the trap.   

The worst was a Christmas one with gold glittery stuff.  It left kind of a gold residue much finer than glitter and did require scrubbing, which I did NOT want to do after a relaxing bath.  I don't mind something that I have to rinse out, but I don't have a sprayer either so that means me rinsing with a few big glasses of water.   But I don't want to get on my knees and pick out leaves or petals or scrub the tub.  That negates the purpose of a relaxing bath.

Anyway, I mostly know which ones to avoid but will definitely ask questions if I want to try something new.
