Lush Sunnyside Bubble Bar Review

Seeing as I will be in France for my birthday, my friend popped round the other week to give me an early birthday present. I got a bag full of amazing goodies, but one of them was a product I have been pining over for ages. This was the Lush Sunnyside bubble bar (£3.75), which is a beautiful sparkly bubble bar with a citrus scent. I have never used a Lush bath product (and I call myself a girl....), so I was super excited to give this a go, as well as being a bit worried that this would stain the bath (my mum would have killed me), but it went alright, there was a bit of residue, but that washed away easily. 

The bath melt is covered in glitter (which gets everywhere!) , but the inside is a sort of yellow ochre colour. You can cut into halves or quarters if you like, so it lasts more than one use, but I used it all because I didn't know if my apartment in Tours would have a bath.  I cut it into pieces with a knife first, so if would be easier to crumble underneath the running water. I also turned up the water speed quite a lot, so I would get more bubbles. I was impressed with the amount of bubbles I got, because my parents' house has really hard water, so I reckon if you used this with soft water, you'd end up like Glinda the Good Witch. 

The scent is GORGEOUS and very uplifting. I'm rubbish at describing scents, but I could smell oranges and lemon, which made me really want a glass of Tropicana after! It also turns the bath a very nice sunny yellow colour (hence the name) which is very pretty, but on closer inspection you can also see a cloud of golden particles suspended in the water. I usually find baths pretty boring, but because I am a magpie, I spent a good while disturbing the water, and being completely mesmerised by the swirling gold particles. I also noticed a little bit of shimmer on my skin after, which was nice.

The Verdict:

Alright, I know you can buy a bottle of bubble bath for £2, which will last longer than two or three uses, but this is definitely a bit of fun. I'd had a really rubbish day that day, and I felt a hell of lot better after this bath. I feel this may have triggered a bit of a Lush bath bomb  obsession though; sorry bank balance.....
