One of the most interesting and in the beginning popular products that graced the Lush Oxford Street Shelves when it first opened - nearly a year ago this month - was a bath bomb which ended up being pulled from the shelves - needing to be reworked/reformulated due to a part of it causing problems with customers. I am talking about is the Lava Lamp Bath Bomb. Since this problem arose, it has been ages since the bath bomb been on the shelves, doubting if it would ever return. However, when the Spring 2016 catalog appeared - well the sneak peaks started to show on Instagram - they all hinted at the Lava Lamp Bath Bomb returning - and I can confirm it is back - I have two but that meant I could FINALLY use the Original Lava Lamp Bath Bomb, I picked up when Lush Oxford Street First opened there doors!
Original Lava Lamp
The original problem that occurred with the Lava Lamp Bath Bomb was the oils which are packed into the bath bomb, that when it enters the water - the bomb fizzes away and the oil slowly separate from the bath bomb and melt away in the hot water - giving you the benefit of a bath bomb and bath oil combined. The original Lava Lamp, contained little circles of oils in both parts of the bath bomb, these are causing stains to be left, once you drained the water from the bath tub. This was the problem customers were not liking about the bath bomb - hence it being taken off the shelves and reformulated.
When I used this bath bomb, the stain in which the oils left on the sides of the bath tub - did not bother me and found that it washed away quite easily once I had drained the bath tub. Regarding the actual bath bomb, I really hope that when I use a new formulated Lava Lamp, that it has not changed regarding the scent and the way it makes you feel.
Firstly, the scent is amazing! It is a citrus scented bath bomb - containing: Brazilian Orange Oil - which anything with orange in it is a win for me - but combined with Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Fair Trade Vanilla Absolute, Organic Extra Virgin Oil and Organic Castor Oil - makes this bath bomb a really luxurious bath bomb - something that you were definitely save for a special occasion or when you really feel like it should be pampered. I love this bath bomb and how moisturising it is on the skin - with those extra little circles of oils.
In the new Lava Lamp, they have reduced the number of oil circles with them only being in the first half of bath bomb - which is hopefully going to sort out the stain problem the original bath bomb was causing.
Overall, I love this bath bomb and it's moisturising qualities, which could be really good for people who hate the whole moisturising the skin after a bath and would rather put their pjs on - without the need for creams or massage bars!
I am also so pleased that it has come back and hopefully it stays around for a long time and not limited edition!
For this Bath Bomb: £3.95.
Love, Becky x
