For those of us who want bath bombs but are lacking in the “bath” department.
I’m sure many of you are familiar with the famous “Lush Bath bombs”: fun little balls you put into your bath to turn it all sorts of cool colors and smells. I have tried a wide variety of Lush’s products but was always sad that I never could get their bath bombs. Sadly, Bentley dorms are a bit lacking in the bath department, so I don’t have use for a bath bomb for most of the year, but believe me, I’ve been tempted.
Imagine my surprise when, out of nowhere, Lush released their new shower bombs a few months ago. Naturally, because I am a Lush addict, I went and tried one ASAP. These smaller molds come in 6 different scents and are designed specifically for people who are lacking a bath. Basically, you run it under water from the shower, they foam up into a mousse, and you use them like a body wash.
So far, I’ve tried the Koyannisqatsi shower bomb and have repurchased it once since then. While definitely not as aesthetically pleasing as a bath bomb, they live up to my Lush expectations. It smells great – definitely a bit lavender-y with some violet and light vanilla scents but it’s not too overpowering. The shower bombs must have some sort of light oil in them that acts as a bit of a moisturizer while also being a bit exfoliating as it disintegrates. I managed to get 3+ uses out of mine, not bad for $3.75! The one thing I will say is that it gets a bit less foamy with each use and that you definitely have to find a place to keep it out of the water while you’re showering or you’ll be shower bomb-less very quickly. I found that the lid of my Lush Shampoo Bar tin works just fine as a holding dish. Overall, definitely worth checking out if you are a Lush-a-holic who has been dying to use a bath bomb but face the shower dilemma.
