Lush Bath Bomb - Cinders: AVOID

Whenever I come home from work and feel really sore, I always love to relax with a nice hot bath, preferably with a bath bomb. I love the scent and how moisturized my skin tends to feel after using one. A few weeks ago, I decided to finally use my Cinders bath bomb by Lush. I had been saving it to use around Christmas time since it's a very festive smelling bath bomb. However, what was suppose to be a relaxing evening turned into a stressful one.

The bath itself was fine, though the scent faded quite quickly. The problems began when I had drained the bathtub. I was greeted with this sight:


The bath bomb had stained my bath tub. I had tried everything to scrub it off, but it just would not budge. I finally had to go out and buy bleach, which finally did the trick and removed the unsightly yellow marks.

(even the ends of my shower curtain were stained!)

So in summary, unless you want to spend your evenings scrubbing away at your bath tub with harsh chemicals, please please don't purchase this bath bomb, no matter how alluring the scent is.

Are there any bath bombs by Lush that have stained your bathtubs?

Lush Haul!

I have just discovered the most amazing store on the planet and it is Lush! I had never heard of "bath bombs" before so I was really excited to check them out! I have been having more baths lately thanks to work being so physically draining and I really wanted to make the most out of them. The customer service was very nice and informative and I ended up buying more than I planned on...


It's so hard to choose bath bombs given their large selection, but in the end I went with these ones:


(left to right): Sex Bomb, Dragon's Egg, Cinders, Rocketeer, and the Yuzu and Cocoa Bath Bubbles - shaped as a macaroon and is moisturizing thanks to coconut oil. Cinders is from their Christmas collection and has a citrus & spicy scent, while the rest are from their usual collection and have floral scents.


I also picked up the limited edition Ponche shower gel! It smells of oranges and cinnamon, and apparently has a shot of tequila in it (though luckily doesn't smell like tequila). It's a really nice winter holidays smell.

I can't wait to try them all out! I think the bath bombs would make lovely unique presents :).
